Ep 233: How Telepathy & Animal Communication Question Our Understanding of Reality with Ditte Young
2026/04/22

What if telepathy isn’t rare but something we’ve been trained to ignore?
I came into this conversation holding both belief and skepticism, especially after witnessing experiences that challenged what I thought was possible. Ditte Young is an internationally recognized telepath, animal communicator, and licensed therapist whose work challenged how I think about these abilities. It became clear to me that extrasensory perception may be less about rarity and more about the sensitivity that many of us have learned to suppress.
Her work is grounded in a life shaped by deep personal experience, including raising a neurodivergent son, which has expanded her understanding of communication beyond words in a very real way. What stood out is how animals and even children appear to access emotional and mental information through what we might call the human biofield, offering a different perspective on intuition and connection.
Healthy skepticism matters here, especially in a space where discernment is important. Animals responding to human emotional patterns and children sensing things before they are spoken suggest a broader model of consciousness that many people are beginning to reconsider.
You’ll learn:
[00:00] Introduction
[03:26] What Ditte knew as a child that her friends didn't, and what the animals she's worked with have taught her
[16:02] Animals perceive far more of your field than you realize, and that's precisely what makes telepathy so threatening to people
[22:22] How domestication changes an animal, and the personality profile system Ditte built to decode their behavior
[44:35] Why losing a sense might be the fastest path to gaining one, and how Ditte trains people to trust what they receive
[53:50] The integrative veterinary clinic that got shut down and what it says about where medicine still refuses to look
[59:33] Your pet's illness might not actually be about your pet
[01:06:53] What animals understand about death that we don't, and how the afterlife works according to the ones Ditte has spoken with
[01:21:49] Whether modern technology is killing our ability to connect or gently awakening it

What if cannabis has been misunderstood not just culturally, but biologically and environmentally?
In this conversation, Dani Fontaine draws on nearly two decades in the cannabis and hemp industries, where she’s built companies, developed therapeutics, and led innovation in plant-based wellness. Her work ranges from creating hemp-derived body care and nutritional products to founding a terpene-focused aromatherapy company and the first hemp-based spa, all rooted in a broader view of sustainable health.
We get into how epigenetics reframes the idea that genetics are fixed, and why expression is constantly shifting moment to moment. Dani explains how cannabinoids, terpenes, and other plant compounds influence cellular communication, and why focusing only on THC misses the larger picture.
This conversation opens up a deeper look at coherence in the body, the role of plant intelligence, and how understanding your biological blueprint can change how you approach healing.
You’ll learn:
[00:00] Introduction
[08:18] What cannabis represents, and why it was buried by corporate interests
[15:21] How THC is chemically turning men into passive, apathetic versions of themselves
[22:44] When Dani got started, and the stage-four cancer patient who changed everything
[31:17] The body's master balancing system, and why medicine never told you about it
[53:06] Why 85% of people shouldn't use THC, and what it does to the ECS long-term
[01:00:09] Cannabis, the big C, and how the plant houses every terpene on earth
[01:21:59] How to rebalance your endocannabinoid system with Dani’s 90-day protocol
[01:37:44] Why the ECS is the master controller of everything happening inside your cells
[02:05:30] Pain, somatic work, and the cannabis products built to go deeper

Ep 231: What’s Really Happening in Iran: Propaganda, AI, and the Link with COVID with Patrick Henningsen
2026/04/13
You can ask Patrick your questions LIVE.
We’re hosting a private Q&A with Patrick Henningsen on May 18th - an opportunity to connect directly and ask your questions in real time.
This session is reserved for members - join here to access.
As an active journalist, Patrick’s schedule can shift quickly - if needed, we’ll keep members updated with any changes.
Mainstream media is not telling the whole truth about the war.
Award-winning independent journalist and geopolitical analyst Patrick Henningsen shares a perspective shaped by years of reporting from conflict zones and building alternative media platforms outside of institutional control. Patrick Henningsen’s work spans on-the-ground coverage in places like Syria and Iraq, alongside founding 21st Century Wire and contributing to outlets like UK Column News, all while advocating for free speech and a truly independent press.
Our discussion moves through how narratives take shape through propaganda, the war in Iran, why modern media environments strip away nuance, and how experiences surrounding events like the Iraq War shifted his understanding of power and public perception. Attention is also given to the cost of challenging consensus during COVID-19, especially for those unwilling to self-censor in the face of institutional pressure.
At its core, this is an exploration of media literacy, the role of independent journalism, and what it takes to think clearly in a landscape shaped by competing narratives and hidden incentives.
You’ll learn:
[00:00] Introduction
[03:49] An art degree and Soviet propaganda prepared Patrick for everything
[15:53] Why he went all-in on COVID truth when everyone else got silent
[29:51] What Patrick saw in Iran the week before the bombs dropped
[38:06] The playbook they ran inside Iran before the bombs fell
[01:02:17] Everything Americans think about Iran's government is backwards
[01:42:06] Soldiers described their orders in Gaza, and it's on paper
[02:11:48] Is the US actually in control of its own foreign policy?
[02:38:47] Why Iran won't break and what the energy war is really about
[02:55:23] What war always costs the people who didn't start it

Can biochar benefit your body and environment?
In this episode, I sit down with Christopher Gardner for a deeper look at what’s really happening beneath the surface with biochar, and how his work with Black Gold BioChar has evolved from teaching people to build their own systems into producing something farmers and growers are actively using.
His background is anything but conventional, moving through dome building, massage therapy, and materials science, which gives him a unique lens on how structure, energy, and biology all intersect. That perspective shows up in the way he approaches regenerative agriculture and the role of carbon in living systems.
We get into how activated carbon behaves in soil and animal systems, why farmers are seeing improvements in feed efficiency and waste cycling, and how something as simple as carbon can influence larger ecological loops.
The conversation expands into microzyma, structured water, and the relationship between charge, polarity, and biological organization, along with how those same principles show up in human health and interaction.
You’ll learn:
[00:00] Introduction
[05:13] What microzyma photos of biochar revealed about its true nature
[22:57] How polarity therapy maps the way charge moves through male and female bodies
[45:05] Why receiving bodywork from the opposite sex works differently than you'd expect
[53:30] Topher rejects the matrix framing and what he thinks this realm actually is
[01:09:48] The moment you fully surrender to God's will is the first time you're actually free
[01:32:44] What BioChar is and why alchemists were doing the same thing centuries ago
[01:42:56] What's inside most activated charcoal products and what BioChar does to EMF
[02:02:47] Industrial farming effects on Iowa's soil and water that can't easily be undone
[02:17:48] The hidden hierarchy inside every culture that preaches "I am God."
[02:37:11] Ancient structures, inspired builders, and a near-death glimpse of the sponsoring force behind existence
[03:01:05] Pluribus as a mirror for where the technocratic agenda is actually heading

Ep 229: Mercury, Fluoride & The FDA's Dirty Secret with Dr. Marc DiNola
2026/04/03
This podcast is made possible by our listeners and viewers. If this show has brought you value, you can support it by becoming a member of The Way Forward, our platform designed to help you find the health and freedom community (people, practitioners, schools, farms, and more) near you. Your membership directly supports the podcast and the work we do.
We’ve been fed lies about our oral health.
Dr. Marc DiNola is a biological dentist who has spent more than three decades in clinical practice and over a decade focused on approaches that prioritize removing toxicity and addressing underlying causes. His background includes formal training at the University of Maryland and advanced study in masticatory diagnosis and treatment, along with ongoing work in dental ozone therapy and nutrition education.
This conversation reframes the mouth as part of a larger system rather than an isolated part of the body. Dental issues begin to look different when you consider nutrition, microbial balance, and the role of hidden infections that may not present with pain.
We question why certain materials and procedures remain common even when concerns are widely acknowledged. That tension points toward a deeper conversation about what it means to restore form, function, and long-term health.
Those questions matter if you’ve started to question conventional approaches to health and want to better understand how oral health connects to the rest of the body.
You’ll learn:
[00:00] Introduction
[06:15] How Dr. Marc went from a conventional dentist to a biological dentist
[13:29] What Weston A. Price actually discovered traveling the world
[25:00] The real history of mercury fillings and why dentists still use them
[35:08] What happens inside a root canal tooth
[57:41] What a proper biological tooth extraction looks like
[01:12:32] The metals in your mouth may be acting as a battery
[01:21:06] Why removing a mercury filling can make you sicker if done wrong
[01:35:44] What Chinese medicine says your teeth reveal about your body
[01:57:39] Conventional braces may be working against your airway

Your membership directly supports the podcast and the work we do.
If we want to find the truth in anything, we first need to know how truth, knowledge, and thought work.
I sit down with Dr. Jordan Grant, a board-certified urologist who left conventional practice to rethink health, knowledge, and belief. His medical background raises a deeper question: how do you know anything at all?
We break down why every claim to knowledge depends on unproven starting points. Most of what people call knowledge is closer to assumption than certainty. This shows up clearly in healthcare, where people are taught to trust experts without understanding how those conclusions are formed.
You’ll also hear how stepping away from traditional urology led to a more integrated approach that considers physical, mental, and spiritual health together.
This is for listeners who are already questioning what they’ve been told and want a clearer way to think about truth, health, and authority.
You’ll Learn:
[00:00] Introduction
[07:53] The problem of the criterion: why every knowledge claim gets stuck in a loop
[17:46] Why we were conditioned to see belief as the enemy of knowing
[37:43] The big bang and evolution aren't science, they're cosmologies
[50:15] Why principles must trump pragmatism in politics
[01:15:10] Why the scientific method cannot actually be followed
[01:35:04] Believing a false story can physically change what your body does
[01:48:58] Germ theory, statism, and materialism all share the same fighting worldview
[02:05:32] Dispensationalism's do-nothing worldview is a practical failure
[02:19:49] Prayer as surrender, not strategy, and what omniscience means for how it works
[02:41:15] How to evaluate truth claims and avoid nihilism

The Crypto Privacy Crackdown Strategic Report
Politics and activism will not lead us to true freedom. Building an alternative system will.
John Bush joins me for a conversation that traces an unexpected journey, from political activism and grassroots organizing to a very different question: what if real freedom isn’t something that can be achieved through politics at all?
His early path took him deep into the world of libertarian organizing during the Ron Paul era, where he helped launch local political efforts and worked closely with activists pushing for liberty-focused legislation in Texas. But years inside that system eventually led to a realization that forced him to rethink the strategy entirely.
That shift opened the door to a very different approach, one centered on building alternatives rather than trying to reform existing institutions. From alternative currencies to local food networks and decentralized communities, the conversation explores what it might look like to create systems that operate outside traditional power structures.
We begin unpacking Bitcoin and cryptocurrency through simple analogies that reveal why many people see decentralized money as part of a much larger shift.
If you’ve ever wondered whether real freedom can be built rather than granted, this episode will challenge the way you think about the path forward.

[18:09] How Epstein redirected the most rebellious money ever invented
[25:55] Why John doesn't think the CIA created Bitcoin, and what the evidence actually shows
[49:49] What the central banks saw in Bitcoin that most people missed
[57:05] Why Trump winning may have been worse for freedom than Trump losing
[01:10:30] Getting banned from PayPal, Stripe, and his own bank, and what it revealed
[01:17:07] Is Bitcoin for wealth or for war?
[01:24:14] The red flags John saw in TexCoin before it collapsed, and how to spot the next one
[01:30:34] The privacy coins the government actually can't track, and why that matters now
[01:39:26] What freedom tech actually works when they cut your internet access
[01:53:35] The Lightning Network's custodial problem
[01:59:52] From intentional community to a backyard with containers

You have the greatest currency in the world within you… and you can use it to break out of the toxic system we live in.
This video is a little different from our usual podcast. I asked Tom Barnett to talk about Natural Law in the 2025 edition of the Confluence Festival, and his presentation called “The Offer” didn’t disappoint. His path into natural law, self-sovereignty, and personal responsibility began long before he even knew those words existed. Growing up in Australia, Tom constantly questioned the limits of freedom and democracy, often finding himself in conflict with authority while trying to understand why the world felt so inconsistent and unfair. His background in holistic health, spanning sports performance, nutrition, psychology, emotional patterns, and spiritual lessons, deepened during a long personal battle with chronic fatigue that eventually pushed him to explore consciousness, natural lore, and the deeper laws shaping reality.
This presentation explores how the hero’s journey applies to modern life, the difference between lawful and legal systems, and why true change may begin with confronting our own inner government. If we want a different world, the first step might be remembering who we actually are.
You’ll Learn:
[00:00] Introduction
[12:24] How law, lore, and story all connect
[20:11] Why natural law is the "great leveler" and what that means for your standing
[27:25] How Tom overcame 20 years of chronic fatigue
[44:38] Why going fully private is a trap, and what mastering both worlds actually looks like
[50:32] Your name is not you, and the pop quiz that proves it
[01:00:45] Ancient knowledge was never destroyed, it's waiting in counter space
[01:08:50] The difference between a grounded no and a fearful refusal
[01:20:41] Why breathwork is just the beginning, and how to reach the essence beneath intent

The public school system has been damaging our children… but it doesn’t have to be this way.
In this conversation, I sit down with the founders of Infinity Academy, a project-based and nature-rooted school that was created after years of questioning the assumptions behind institutional education.
Gillian, the school’s Curriculum and Instructional Lead, spent more than a decade teaching in public education and repeatedly felt that something about the system wasn’t working. Her work now focuses on project-based learning designed to nurture curiosity, critical thinking, and intrinsic motivation in children.
Jenna, a Registered Nurse and wellness educator, co-founded the school after recognizing similar systemic problems in healthcare and education. Her work helps integrate nature, hands-on learning, and whole-person wellbeing into the educational experience.
Together, they’re building a model where learning follows the child’s interests through questioning, research, creation, and reflection. Their goal is to help children develop agency, curiosity, and the confidence to keep learning long after the classroom.
You’ll Learn:
[00:00] Introduction
[03:40] How public school was designed to crush curiosity
[21:31] The grief, the infinity fountain, and the 30-day scramble to open Infinity Academy
[41:12] What is project-based learning, and what does it look like?
[43:11] Why community beats homeschooling, and what learning looks like at the Academy
[01:04:14] Teaching history without presenting it as an absolute truth
[01:25:49] Sex ed, gender ideology, and the topics deliberately left to parents
[01:48:48] Why "preparing kids for the real world" might be the wrong goal entirely

Ep 224: The New Frontier of Biology: Water, Fields & Consciousness with Carlos Millán

Our bodies don’t work like we think they do…
Carlos Millán, a biologist and a mystic, questions some of the most foundational assumptions in modern biology. He proposes a framework that connects water, electricity, and consciousness, challenging the way the human body is typically understood. If the dominant model is incomplete, the implications extend far beyond the lab.
We explore the world of consciousness through the lens of biology. We also revisit a nearly forgotten medical therapy that once treated severe infections by altering only a small portion of the blood. The results were documented, yet the explanation never fully aligned with the prevailing scientific model.
At the center is a different way of seeing the body as an energetic ecosystem rather than a mechanical structure, and what that shift could mean for health, education, and the future of science.

Did you know your signature is being used to generate money?
In this episode, I sit down with Cal Washington to trace the unexpected path that pulled him from an ordinary life into a relentless investigation of the family court system, common law, and what he believes is a massive financial structure operating beneath the surface. We dive into his deep study of the Motor Vehicle Act, his $300 million story, the hidden signature system, and a confrontation with provincial authorities that led to outcomes few would expect.
This conversation moves through philosophy, legal sovereignty, and the growing tension between citizens and institutions. If you’ve ever felt there was more happening behind the curtain of the legal system, this one will give you a lot to sit with.

Ep 222: How Anyone Can Reverse Eyesight Issues Naturally with Ainhoa de Federico

ClearSight Method: Improve your vision naturally without glasses or surgery.
What if you could reverse your eyesight issues naturally without glasses or surgery?
In this episode, I sit down with Ainhoa de Federico to discuss the connection between natural vision improvement, trauma, and the subtle ways our inner world shapes how we literally see. Born with strabismus and severe vision issues, Ainhoa’s early healing experience became foundational to her identity and later research. Her work highlights how stress, inflammation, and unresolved emotional tension can influence conditions such as myopia, astigmatism, and double vision. The conversation raises important questions about why glasses are often prescribed without investigating root causes like sinus pressure or chronic stress.
Vision challenges can reveal far more than genetics or aging ever could. Perception reflects more than optics; it mirrors belief, physiology, and lived experience. If you’re interested in trauma and eyesight, vision and stress, or improving eye health naturally, this perspective will shift how you understand sight itself.
You’ll Learn:
[00:00] Introduction
[04:54] Why Ainhoa threw her first prescription in the trash, and what happened afterwards
[31:27] WHO data, COVID's catastrophic impact, and why 2030 projections are alarming
[53:36] What the numbers actually show from the ClearSight method
[01:07:21] The cases that keep proving what's actually possible with natural vision improvement
[01:18:29] How screens damage eyesight beyond the blue light
[01:47:35] How the sympathetic nervous system creates tunnel vision, and why presence reverses it
[01:56:12] Multiple personality research, the three-hug story, and the emotional roots of specific eye conditions
[02:10:53] What astigmatism, glaucoma, myopia, presbyopia, and retinal detachment each reveal about your inner life
[02:36:59] What your specific symptom reveals about key relationships in your life
[02:45:54] Nutrition, detox, and the liver-eye connection

Ep 221: The Biggest Homesteading Myths & The Easiest Way to Start | Kymber Rae
2026/02/20
This podcast is made possible by our listeners and viewers. If this show has brought you value, you can support it by becoming a member of The Way Forward, our platform designed to help you find the health and freedom community (people, practitioners, schools, farms, and more) near you. Your membership directly supports the podcast and the work we do.
If you want to start a homestead because of what you saw on Instagram, you need to watch this episode.
I’ve spent a lot of time questioning the images of off-grid living and homesteading that dominate social media, especially the polished versions that assume massive capital, teams, or invisible support. Those images can feel paralyzing when you’re trying to build something real with limited time, money, or energy. The idea of total self-sufficiency often operates more like a story than a livable path, and holding it as the end goal can stop momentum before it starts.
Today I’m joined by Kymber Rae, a first-generation homesteader-to-be, living on the edge of farmland and Boreal Forest in Saskatchewan, Canada. She’s renovating a mobile home on a budget, gradually working the land, and raising a new family while learning as she goes.
This conversation centers on a grounded approach to simple living that values progress over fantasy and participation over perfection. There’s an honest look at starting a homestead incrementally, navigating relationships and parenthood, and building practical autonomy rooted in community, land, and time rather than aesthetic ideals.
You’ll Learn:
[00:00] Introduction
[06:39] Kymber's calling to land and practical strategies for acquiring property
[13:36] Food sovereignty through community interdependence
[22:48] What’s to be said about eating food from the land you’re standing on
[25:43] Time management for gardening and learning through trial and error
[33:29] Food preservation methods, including canning, fermenting, and dehydrating
[36:43] Creative water solutions without well access or plumbing
[42:12] How badly you want it determines what barriers you'll overcome
[46:19] Motherhood's impact on homesteading, homeschooling priorities, and choosing growth over comfort
[55:08] Digital community as psyop, lost social skills, and healing polarized relationships

Ep 220: This Process Allows You to Overcome Any Addiction & Limiting Belief | Josh Trent

Your membership directly supports the podcast and the work we do.
You’re not running your life… your belief system is.
Today I’m joined by Josh Trent, an identity transformation architect and the host of the Wellness + Wisdom Podcast. For nearly a decade, his work has centered on helping driven, burnt-out achievers unwind the emotional and belief patterns that run their lives.
Identity under pressure reveals how much of who we are was shaped long before we had a choice, with unconscious beliefs tracing back far beyond our own lived experiences. Nervous system regulation, money stories, and lineage show up as an interconnected web that influences how daily life is experienced and navigated. Addiction and self-abandonment surface as signals of deeper disconnection. Responsibility for the inner world becomes less about fixing what’s wrong and more about seeing what’s beneath the surface.
This episode speaks to anyone sensing that forward movement isn’t about more tactics, but by understanding the forces shaping personal choices, accumulated stress, and the kind of freedom that feels earned rather than chased.
You’ll Learn:
[00:00] Introduction
[06:30] Breaking down the old identity: the practices Josh used for transformation
[19:02] Is plant medicine a necessity when it comes to transformation?
[34:07] Getting to your root beliefs with the BTFA practice: a breathwork walkthrough
[58:45] Traditional talk therapy vs somatic approaches
[01:11:23] Understanding addiction as disconnection and the trap of trading one addiction for another
[01:27:05] Facing your biggest fear in real-time: how Alec nearly shut down his podcast
[01:41:24] Emotional epigenetics and unconsciously passing patterns down through generations
[01:53:58] The single most powerful practice: emotional inventory

Ep 219: What The Media Hides About Epstein, Kirk, Trump & Israel with Ian Carroll & Chris Crutchfield
2026/02/11
Join Ian Carroll and Alec for a live TWF member Q&A on March 12th. Become a member here
This episode was recorded prior to the recent Epstein Files release.
The mass media have been hiding a lot of things from us, and it’s probably worse than you thought…
In this episode, I’m joined by Ian Carroll & Chris Crutchfield for a wide-ranging conversation on how modern systems shape perception, behavior, and control. Ian breaks down how banks, asset managers, and corporate structures exert influence not through headlines, but through incentive design and financial leverage. He shares how questioning COVID narratives, financial corruption, and media overload led him to trace power through banking, corporate ownership, and information flows rather than political theater.
Chris brings a complementary systems-level perspective, connecting money, energy, trust structures, and dynastic power across history. He reframes currency as current, attention as leverage, and technology as an amplifier of unresolved incentives. Together, we examine why scandals like Epstein distract from deeper networks, how controlled opposition and algorithmic feeds fracture reality, and why humility matters in an era of mass formation and information warfare.
This conversation isn’t about picking sides. It’s about learning how to see the machinery clearly, without letting it claim your identity, attention, or sovereignty.
You’ll Learn:
[00:00] Introduction
[09:40] Secret societies and old money families: the power structures that leave money trails
[21:56] Currency as electrical energy, human bodies as current, and banking's trust-based control system
[39:09] Controlled opposition, COINTELPRO tactics, and verifying information by fruits not trees
[52:32] How algorithms control perception, create false realities, and trap you in identity labels
[01:10:45] The social media paradox, finding community through devices, and humanity's infant stage with technology
[01:24:47] Protecting authenticity over access: why Binder Gate chose influencers over real journalists
[01:45:32] Why Charlie Kirk's assassination is the most important story in the world right now
[01:57:33] JD Vance as technocratic camp's unwitting front man and the Truman Show presidency
[02:20:11] How government biofield manipulation and MK Ultra tactics created the perfect patsy
[02:44:26] Maduro's capture with microwave weapons, DOD bio-widgets in every American, and ICE tyranny theater
[03:05:48] Vegas shooting blacked out, MBS assassination attempt, and the flip about who really does evil
