Beyond the Pills

What if the future of healthcare isn’t centered on symptoms—but on the measurable intelligence of your cells?In this episode of Beyond the Pills, Josh sits down with Sean Fetcho, Co-Founder and CEO of Verséa Health, and Dr. Hemal Patel, a leading researcher in cellular energetics, to explore a fundamental shift in how we define, measure, and optimize human health.At the center of this conversation is mescreen™, a next-generation technology designed to assess cellular and mitochondrial health—offering a more precise, data-driven approach to personalized wellness. As Sean shares, the mission is clear: to bring cellular-level insights into everyday decision-making and transform how individuals engage with their health.“The future of healthcare is not reactive—it’s measured, personalized, and rooted at the cellular level.”Dr. Patel, a tenured professor and scientist whose work spans cardiovascular disease, aging, and neurodegeneration, brings depth to the discussion by unpacking the role of mitochondrial function as a control point for human resilience and performance.“Cellular energetics is not just a piece of the puzzle—it’s the foundation of how the body adapts, heals, and performs.”Together, they challenge the limitations of symptom-based care and introduce a new paradigm—one where health is understood, tracked, and optimized at its most fundamental level.“If we’re not measuring what’s happening inside the cell, we’re only seeing part of the picture.”Sean’s background in scaling healthcare media and innovation-driven companies, combined with Dr. Patel’s decades of scientific research, creates a powerful intersection of vision and validation—bridging cutting-edge science with real-world application.This episode represents more than a conversation—it marks a shift toward a new standard of care, where energy, data, and personalization redefine what it means to be truly healthy.About the GuestsSean FetchoCo-Founder & CEO, Verséa HealthSean Fetcho leads Verséa Health with a bold vision to transform preventive care by placing mitochondrial and cellular science at the center of personalized health optimization.

Beyond the Pills: Healing Mental Health at the Root The Problem: Are We Treating Mental Health… or Just Managing It?Anxiety, depression, and mental health challenges are at an all-time high—but what if the current system is missing the bigger picture?In this episode, Dr. Aruna Nammi challenges the conventional model of psychiatry and asks a bold question:“There is no healing. It’s only management.”If mental health is being reduced to chemical imbalances and lifelong medication… are we actually solving the problem?The Shift: From Symptom Management to Root Cause HealingAs a board-certified psychiatrist trained in traditional medicine, Dr. Nammi followed the system—until her own health journey forced her to question everything.“What I was doing… was not really medicine. It was just managing.”What she discovered changed the trajectory of her career—and her patients’ lives.Instead of asking “What drug treats this symptom?”She began asking:“What is causing this in the first place?”The Framework: The 3 Root Causes of Mental Health IssuesThrough years of clinical practice and personal healing, Dr. Nammi identified three core drivers behind most mental health conditions:Diet & LifestyleUnresolved TraumaEnvironmental Toxins“There’s only three things I’m addressing… diet and lifestyle, trauma, and environmental toxins.”This simple—but powerful—framework is redefining how we approach healing from the inside out.The Integration: Where Ancient Wisdom Meets Modern ScienceDr. Nammi’s approach isn’t about rejecting modern medicine—it’s about expanding it.By integrating:Functional medicineAyurvedaNeuroscienceHolistic psychiatryShe’s bridging the gap between science and soul.“We are shifting the paradigm from managing symptoms to healing the body first.”And in many cases, that means patients are able to reduce or even come off medications safely—under proper care.The Awakening: When Intuition Challenges the SystemOne of the most powerful moments in this conversation comes from her experience as a mother—when instinct clashed with conventional medical advice.“Everything in my being knew… that’s not how you raise a child.”That moment wasn’t just personal—it was a turning point.A reminder that true healing often begins when we start questioning what we’ve been told.The Outcome: A New Future for Mental HealthToday, Dr. Nammi is pioneering a new model of psychiatry—one that doesn’t just suppress symptoms, but restores balance, vitality, and alignment.“People were getting better… just doing the bare minimum differently.”This isn’t just a conversation about mental health.It’s a conversation about redefining what healing actually means.Listen If You’re Ready To:Rethink everything you’ve been told about mental healthUnderstand the root causes behind anxiety and depressionExplore a more holistic, integrated approach to healingStep beyond symptom management into true transformationConnect with Dr. Aruna Nammi

The Beyond the Pills Trio: The Science, The Strategy, The ImpactWhat if the difference between “feeling fine” and truly thriving came down to just three foundational nutrients?Most people are told they’re “normal.”Normal labs. Normal symptoms. Normal fatigue.But as I say in this episode: “Normal isn’t optimal and it’s definitely not where you want to live.”In this powerful episode of Beyond the Pills, host Josh Rimany breaks down The Trio; a science-backed, foundational supplement approach designed to support your body at the cellular level and help you move from survival… to optimization.This isn’t about chasing the next health trend.It’s about building a baseline for real, sustainable health.You’ll discover:Why “normal” lab ranges can still leave you depletedThe 3 core nutrients most people are missing (and why they matter)How small, consistent inputs create massive long-term transformationThe role of community, accountability, and education in lasting healthAs I share in the episode: “We’re not trying to help you get back to baseline; we’re helping you build a new one.”Because Health isn’t meant to be done alone. Healing accelerates in community.This is more than supplements.This is a movement.A movement of people who are:Done settling for “just okay”Ready to take ownership of their healthCommitted to learning, growing, and healing, togetherBecause when you combine the right tools + the right environment, everything changes. “Information creates awareness but community creates transformation.”If you’re ready to stop guessing and start optimizing:✅ Grab the Trio and start building your foundation✅ Join the global Beyond the Pills community for support, education, and real transformation✅ Follow the podcast so you don’t miss what’s coming next👉 Get started here: https://community.gobeyondthepills.com/expertsAnd if this episode resonated with you share it with someone you care about.Because one conversation can create a ripple effect of change.

You’ve Been Lied To About Healing… Here’s the TruthWhat if the reason you’re not healing… isn’t because you haven’t tried hard enough—but because you’ve been searching in the wrong place?In a world driven by quick fixes, prescriptions, and surface-level solutions, so many people are left feeling stuck, frustrated, and still without answers. You follow the protocols. You do everything “right.” And yet—something still feels off.“You don’t heal by doing more… you heal by going deeper.”Beyond Symptoms: Understanding the Root CauseIn this powerful episode of Beyond The Pills, Chais Meyer invites us into a deeper conversation about healing—one that goes far beyond symptom management.This discussion explores the connection between mind, body, and spirit, revealing how unresolved patterns, internal misalignment, and subconscious blocks can keep you stuck in cycles of discomfort—no matter how many solutions you try.“If you’re only treating the symptom, you’re missing the story.”“Your body isn’t working against you—it’s communicating with you.”Rather than chasing the next protocol or external fix, this episode challenges you to pause, reflect, and begin listening to what your body is actually trying to tell you.From Frustration to AlignmentIf you’ve ever felt like you’re doing all the “right” things but still not getting results, this conversation will shift your perspective.True healing isn’t about doing more—it’s about becoming more aligned. It’s about recognizing where you may be disconnected and reclaiming the power that’s always been within you.“Healing starts the moment you stop outsourcing your power.”“Alignment isn’t a luxury—it’s the foundation of true wellness.”This is where transformation begins—not at the surface, but at the root.A New Way ForwardThis episode is an invitation to move beyond symptom management and into true, lasting healing.To stop chasing answers outside of yourself… and start uncovering what’s already within.“You’re not broken, you’re being invited to go deeper.”Tune in now and discover a new way to approach your health—one that empowers, aligns, and transforms from the inside out.If this episode resonates, share it with someone who’s been searching for answers—and be sure to follow Beyond The Pills for more conversations that challenge the status quo and redefine what healing really means.Join The Community & Global Movement: https://community.gobeyondthepills.com

Modern medicine has achieved extraordinary breakthroughs — from lifesaving surgeries to powerful pharmaceuticals.And yet, millions of people are still searching for healing.Chronic illness is rising. Burnout among healthcare professionals is at an all-time high. And many patients feel like something essential is missing from the system designed to care for them.What if the problem isn’t simply the treatments?What if the real issue is that medicine has been looking at health through an incomplete lens?In this episode of Beyond the Pills podcast, host Josh Rimany sits down with physician and thought leader Anoop Kumar to explore a powerful question:What if consciousness is the missing piece of healthcare?Dr. Kumar has spent years working within the traditional medical system as an emergency physician while simultaneously exploring deeper questions about the nature of health, healing, and human experience.Through this journey, he began to see a pattern.Modern medicine excels at addressing the physical body — diagnosing diseases, managing symptoms, and intervening during crises.But health is not purely mechanical.Human beings are not simply biological machines. Our health is shaped by our perceptions, emotions, beliefs, relationships, and the deeper patterns that govern how we experience reality itself.This conversation explores what happens when medicine expands beyond the physical body and begins to consider consciousness as a fundamental part of health.In this powerful discussion, you’ll discover:• Why modern medicine often treats symptoms without addressing deeper causes• The “hard problem of consciousness” and why it matters for healthcare• How perception and awareness influence the body’s healing processes• Why many healthcare professionals feel disconnected within the current system• How a new paradigm of medicine could integrate biology, psychology, and consciousnessDr. Kumar explains that true healing may not come from better pills or technologies alone, but from understanding the deeper patterns that shape human experience and physiology.When we begin to see health through this expanded lens, medicine transforms from symptom management into a pathway for deeper alignment and healing.If you’re interested in the future of healthcare — or you’ve ever felt like something essential is missing from modern medicine — this conversation will expand the way you think about healing.Tune in to this episode of Beyond the Pills podcast to explore why the next frontier of medicine may not be technological.It may be consciousness itself.💊 Join The Beyond The Pills Community Today, Unlock True Healing Tomorrow! https://askjosh.gobeyondthepills.com/

What if the biggest problem in healthcare isn’t a lack of information but a lack of understanding?Millions of people are told the same frustrating sentence every year:"Your labs look normal."But they still feel exhausted. Inflamed. Sick. Stuck.In this episode of Beyond the Pills, Josh Rimany sits down with Reed Davis, founder of Functional Diagnostic Nutrition (FDN), a pioneer in functional lab testing who has worked with 10,000+ clients and trained more than 5,000 practitioners worldwide.His mission is simple:Stop guessing. Start understanding.Reed explains why the traditional medical model often fails people with chronic symptoms.The system focuses on diagnosing diseases and managing symptoms, while ignoring the deeper biological imbalances that drive illness.Instead of chasing a single “root cause,” Reed introduces a more accurate concept:Metabolic Chaos.Chronic illness rarely comes from one problem.It comes from multiple stressors interacting at once — environmental toxins, hormone imbalances, poor nutrition, emotional stress, gut dysfunction, and lifestyle factors.When those stressors pile up, the body loses its ability to regulate itself.That’s when symptoms appear.In this conversation, you’ll discover:• Why “normal labs” don’t always mean healthy• The real reason chronic illness is exploding globally• Why functional medicine still isn’t enough in many cases• The concept of metabolic chaos and why it explains complex illness• Why lifestyle changes are the hardest — but most powerful — medicine• The difference between data and wisdom in lab testing• Why healing requires both guidance and personal responsibilityReed also shares why true healing requires walking what he calls a “narrow path” — improving sleep, nutrition, stress, movement, and detoxification simultaneously.Because the body already knows how to heal.It simply needs the right signals.If you’ve ever been told “nothing is wrong” but still feel like something is off…This episode will change how you think about health forever.Listen now to discover why healing isn’t about finding the right pill — it's about restoring the body’s ability to function.Welcome to Beyond the Pills.Follow Reed Davis on IGhttps://www.instagram.com/fdntraining💊 Join The Beyond The Pills Community Today, Unlock True Healing Tomorrow! https://askjosh.gobeyondthepills.com/

Ancient Wisdom, Modern Healing: Regulating the Nervous SystemWhat if anxiety, burnout, chronic stress, and emotional overwhelm aren’t problems to “fix” — but signals from a dysregulated nervous system asking for safety?In this powerful episode of Beyond The Pills, Lauren Courtney shares her journey from high-pressure corporate life and anxiety-driven survival mode to embodied healing through nervous system regulation, somatic therapy, breathwork, and energy healing.If you’ve tried coping tools, medications, or mindset work yet still feel stuck in stress, trauma responses, or emotional exhaustion, this conversation reveals the deeper root of healing.Modern healthcare often focuses on symptom management. But healing begins when the body feels safe.Lauren explains how trauma, chronic stress, and unresolved emotional experiences become stored in the body and nervous system — shaping behaviors, emotional patterns, and even physical health.You’ll discover:How nervous system dysregulation fuels anxiety, burnout, and chronic stressWhy high performers often live in fight-or-flight mode without realizing itThe connection between trauma, the vagus nerve, and emotional regulationHow somatic healing and breathwork restore nervous system balanceWhy true healing requires safety, embodiment, and presenceHow ancient healing practices and modern neuroscience intersectThis episode bridges science and holistic healing, revealing why nervous system regulation is foundational for mental health, emotional resilience, and physical well-being.Imagine moving from survival mode to safety… from chronic stress to calm clarity… from coping to true healing.As Lauren shares:“Your body isn’t broken — it’s protecting you.”When you learn to regulate your nervous system, you unlock emotional resilience, deeper self-awareness, and the capacity to heal at the root.This conversation is especially powerful for:✔ high achievers experiencing burnout✔ those healing from trauma or chronic stress✔ healthcare professionals seeking root-cause healing approaches✔ anyone struggling with anxiety, overwhelm, or emotional exhaustion✔ individuals exploring somatic therapy, breathwork, or holistic healing🎧 Listen now to discover how nervous system regulation can transform your health, emotional well-being, and capacity to thrive.If this episode resonates:✅ Share it with someone navigating stress or burnout✅ Subscribe to Beyond The Pills for holistic health insights✅ Leave a review to help more people discover root-cause healing✅ Join the Beyond The Pills community for deeper conversationsHealing isn’t about fighting your body.It’s about helping it feel safe enough to heal.🎧 Listen now to discover how nervous system regulation can transform your health, emotional well-being, and capacity to thrive.

The Invisible Pillars of Cancer Care Nobody Talks AboutWhat if the moment you “run out of options” is actually the moment your real healing begins?In this episode of Beyond the Pills, host Josh Rimany (pharmacist turned healer) sits down with Pete Stevenson; a stage 4 lymphoma survivor whose story challenges everything most of us have been taught about what healing is supposed to look like.Pete did what many people are told to do: he trusted the conventional roadmap. He went through the full Western oncology experience—multiple rounds of chemo, radiation, surgeries, and immunotherapy (CAR-T)—yet he still found himself facing the terrifying reality that there might not be another “next treatment.” And that’s where his story takes a powerful turn.Instead of surrendering to hopelessness, Pete asked a deeper question: What does it actually mean to heal?What emerged wasn’t an anti-medicine message—it was a both/and approach: Western medicine and evidence-based integrative support. Treatments and lifestyle change. Survival and nervous system regulation. Science and mindfulness. Protocols and purpose.You’ll hear how a mind-body healing retreat introduced Pete to radical lifestyle medicine—prioritizing sleep, removing processed foods, reducing toxic exposures, addressing trauma, and rebuilding his internal environment. He and Josh dive into the real-world, lived experience of how belief, mindset, and the “placebo effect” can create measurable biological shifts—and why nurturing hope and agency isn’t “woo”… it’s part of the medicine.But this conversation goes beyond personal transformation. Pete founded EVOLVV Health, a cancer navigation and advocacy company built around what most patients never receive: a clear roadmap. Not just for treatment—but for the invisible pillars of cancer care that directly shape outcomes: emotional support, practical logistics, financial stability, disability benefits, and access to integrative care resources.If you or someone you love is navigating cancer (or any major health crisis) and feeling overwhelmed, this episode is a reminder you need to hear:Healing isn’t passive. It’s participatory and you’re not meant to figure it out alone.Connect with Pete / EVOLVV Health (links):Website: https://www.evolvvhealth.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/evolvvhealth/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61582398653479💊 Join The Beyond The Pills Community Today, Unlock True Healing Tomorrow! https://askjosh.gobeyondthepills.com/

From Chronic Pain to Vitality: Robin Yamamoto’s Healing ShiftWhat if healing didn’t begin with another prescription… but with light?In a world trained to believe there’s a pill for every problem, more people are quietly asking a different question: What if my body already knows how to heal — and just needs the right signal?On this episode of Beyond the Pills, we explore one of the most intriguing frontiers in modern wellness: photobiomodulation; the use of light and frequency to activate the body’s own regenerative intelligence.This isn’t a futuristic concept. It’s happening right now and it’s changing lives.Our guest, Robyn Yamamoto, didn’t enter this work as a skeptic or a salesperson. She entered it as a mother searching for answers.After watching her family cycle through conventional approaches that managed symptoms but never addressed root causes, Robyn was introduced to wearable phototherapy patches from LifeWave — a technology designed to reflect specific wavelengths of light back into the body, triggering natural biochemical responses without drugs, stimulants, or invasive treatments.What began as curiosity quickly became conviction.In this conversation, Robyn shares how light-based signaling works in simple, grounded language — explaining mitochondria, cellular communication, and why the body responds so powerfully to frequency when given the chance.She also opens up about the emotional side of healing: the frustration of doing “everything right,” the exhaustion of symptom-chasing, and the hope that comes when the body finally begins to respond.“Our bodies are not broken. They’re often just waiting for the right signal to remember what to do.”This episode isn’t about hype or miracle claims. It’s about understanding why so many people are experiencing shifts in energy, inflammation, sleep, recovery, and overall vitality when they stop forcing the body and start supporting it.Robyn explains why photobiomodulation doesn’t override the body, but works with it. Why it’s not about adding another substance, but about activating what’s already there.And she shares one of the most powerful lessons from her own journey:“When we stopped trying to suppress symptoms and started supporting the body’s design, everything changed.”If you’ve ever felt like your body was fighting against the solutions you were offered — this conversation may help you see healing from an entirely new perspective.If you’re curious about non-pharmaceutical approaches to wellness…If you’re open to the idea that healing can be activated rather than forced…If you believe the future of medicine lies in working with the body, not overriding it…This episode is for you.🎧 Tune in to Beyond the Pills and hear how light, frequency, and the body’s innate intelligence are redefining what healing can look like.🔗 Learn more about Robyn + support her work:https://www.lifewave.com/beyondthepillshttps://www.linkedin.com/in/robyn-y-b27324146/💊 Join The Beyond The Pills Community Today, Unlock True Healing Tomorrow! https://askjosh.gobeyondthepills.com/

What if doing everything “right” for your health was actually part of the problem?In this episode of Beyond the Pills, Josh Rimany sits down with Kyle Hulbert to explore a reality many high-performing men face but rarely talk about: feeling deeply unwell despite clean living, disciplined routines, and “normal” lab results.Kyle’s story begins the way many modern health stories do...with success on the outside and silent suffering on the inside. In his early twenties, while pursuing advanced education and living what looked like an ideal life, his body began to shut down. Anxiety, depression, fatigue, and intrusive thoughts took over, even though nothing appeared wrong on paper.After years of being dismissed by conventional medicine, Kyle uncovered the real issue: heavy metal toxicity and critically low testosterone that standard testing failed to flag as a problem. This conversation exposes why the medical system often misses root causes, how toxins quietly disrupt hormones and mental health, and why being told your labs are “normal” doesn’t mean your body is functioning optimally.Josh and Kyle unpack the dangerous gap between symptom management and true healing, the risks of detoxing without proper guidance, and how nervous system overload plays a major role in chronic illness. They also challenge the idea that longevity and healing should be expensive, exclusive, or trend-driven.If you’ve ever felt exhausted, anxious, foggy, or disconnected from your body despite doing everything you were told to do, this episode will resonate deeply. This isn’t about biohacking, supplements, or chasing the next protocol. It’s about understanding what your body is communicating, restoring balance, and recognizing that healing doesn’t happen until the body feels safe enough to heal.This conversation offers clarity, validation, and a grounded perspective on what real longevity looks like when you move beyond symptom suppression and into root-cause medicine.Listen now to this powerful episode of Beyond the Pills to discover why modern health is missing the mark and what it actually takes to reclaim vitality, mental clarity, and long-term well-being.

The Contagion Question: What If We’ve Been Wrong About “Germs”What if some of the most fundamental assumptions in modern medicine were never truly proven?In this eye-opening episode of Beyond The Pills, I sit down with Dr. Tom Cowan, a physician known for challenging medical dogma and asking the kinds of questions most people are afraid to ask. From germ theory to viruses, from cancer to symptoms themselves, this conversation invites you to pause and think.Not react.Not argue.But investigate.Dr. Cowan approaches medicine like a Sherlock Holmes mystery: instead of asking “What do we assume is true?” he asks “What can actually be proven false?”In this conversation, he explores:Why science advances through falsification, not consensusHow certain medical narratives became dominant without being rigorously testedWhy symptoms may not be the enemy—but part of the body’s intelligenceThe difference between treating with a “hammer” versus understanding the whole systemHow agency quietly disappears when we outsource thinking about our own healthThis isn’t about telling you what to believe.It’s about showing you how to think.If you’ve ever felt:Confused by conflicting health adviceDisconnected from your own bodyDependent on systems that don’t fully explain themselvesOr quietly skeptical, but unsure how to voice itThis episode will resonate deeply.You’ll come away with a new framework for evaluating health claims, a renewed respect for the body’s design, and a stronger sense of personal responsibility without fear, shame, or blind rebellion.This is the heart of Beyond The Pills: Moving from passive consumption to conscious participation in your own well-being.Listen now and decide for yourself what holds up under thoughtful inquiry.If this conversation challenges you, share it with someone who’s ready for deeper dialogue—not easy answers.And if you believe healthcare should empower people, not replace their thinking, make sure to follow Beyond The Pills for weekly conversations that question, explore, and elevate how we understand health, healing, and human potential.Connect With Tom & Support His Work!https://drtomcowan.comhttps://www.drcowansgarden.comhttps://newbiologyclinic.comhttps://newbiologycurriculum.comhttps://www.facebook.com/DrTomCowanhttps://twitter.com/drtomcowanhttps://www.instagram.com/talkinturkeywithtom💊 Join The Beyond The Pills Community Today, Unlock True Healing Tomorrow! https://askjosh.gobeyondthepills.com/

What if healing isn’t something you force but something you create space for?In this powerful episode of Beyond the Pills, we sit down with Dr. Stephanie I. Byerly, physician, educator, and advocate for human-centered medicine, to explore what happens when healthcare treats the body but misses the person.Dr. Byerly challenges the prevailing model of “fixing” symptoms without addressing the deeper conditions required for healing. As she shares in the episode, “The body doesn’t heal when it feels rushed, pressured, or unsafe—healing requires regulation, not just intervention.”Together, we unpack why so many people feel dismissed or unseen in conventional medical settings, even when they’re doing everything “right.” Dr. Byerly explains how chronic stress, overwhelm, and constant performance—both in life and in healthcare—keep the nervous system locked in survival mode. And when the body is stuck in survival, healing becomes almost impossible.One of the most striking moments of the conversation comes when she reminds us:“You can’t out-supplement, out-medicate, or out-discipline a nervous system that doesn’t feel safe.”This episode also explores the hidden cost of speed in modern medicine—for patients and physicians alike. Dr. Byerly speaks candidly about the pressure clinicians face to move quickly, follow rigid systems, and prioritize efficiency over presence. “When we stop listening,” she says, “we lose the most important diagnostic tool we have—the patient’s lived experience.”Rather than offering another protocol or checklist, this conversation invites a reframe. Healing isn’t about doing more. It’s about restoring connection—within the body, within relationships, and within care itself. As Dr. Byerly beautifully puts it, “Healing happens when the body feels supported enough to stop protecting itself.”If you’ve ever felt frustrated by a diagnosis that didn’t fully explain what you’re experiencing…If you’ve followed all the health advice and still feel stuck…Or if you sense that true healing requires more than treatment alone—This episode offers a compassionate, grounding perspective that makes sense of what so many people feel but struggle to articulate.At its core, this conversation is a reminder that medicine works best when it remembers the human at the center of it all. Healing is not just biological—it’s relational, emotional, and deeply human.🎧 Tune in to hear how stepping Beyond the Pills opens the door to deeper regulation, resilience, and real healing.Connect with Stephanie + Support her work!www.stephaniebyerly.comFB/Li/IG: @stephaniebyerlymd💊 Join The Beyond The Pills Community Today, Unlock True Healing Tomorrow! https://askjosh.gobeyondthepills.com/

What if chronic illness isn’t a life sentence...but a signal?In this episode of Beyond The Pills, we sit down with Dane Johnson, CHN, founder of CrohnsColitisLifestyle, to challenge the conventional narrative around inflammatory bowel disease.After facing a life-threatening battle with Crohn’s and Colitis, Dane was told medication and surgery were his only options. Instead, he chose a different path—one rooted in natural, root-cause healing. By addressing the gut, immune system, and lifestyle factors driving disease, Dane was able to eliminate symptoms, come off medications, and reclaim his health—without surgery.Today, Dane is recognized as one of the most successful Crohn’s and Colitis coaches in the world, having helped thousands globally uncover their unique path to healing.

Healing from the Inside Out: Nervous System-Based Care with Dr. Hamad ShiraziWhat if the reason your body isn’t healing has nothing to do with effort, discipline, or doing more but everything to do with your nervous system?In this episode of Beyond The Pills, we sit down with Dr. Hamad Shirazi, chiropractor, movement specialist, and nervous system educator, to explore why so many well-intentioned healing protocols fail and what actually creates lasting change in the body.Dr. Shirazi shares how traditional approaches to fitness, chiropractic care, and even wellness can unintentionally keep people stuck in cycles of pain, burnout, and disconnection. When the nervous system is chronically dysregulated, the body prioritizes survival over healing—no matter how “healthy” your habits appear on the surface.Through breathwork, embodiment, and nervous-system–first care, Dr. Shirazi introduces a radically compassionate model of healing—one that focuses less on fixing symptoms and more on restoring safety, presence, and connection within the body.If you’ve tried “everything” and still feel disconnected, inflamed, exhausted, or stuck, this conversation offers a reframe that may finally make sense of your experience. You’ll learn why slowing down is not a setback, how listening to your body builds true resilience, and why healing isn’t something you force—but something you allow.This episode is especially powerful for high performers, athletes, healthcare professionals, and anyone who has been conditioned to push through pain instead of understanding it.Listen now to discover how nervous system regulation, intentional movement, and embodied awareness can transform the way you heal—physically, mentally, and emotionally.🔗 Learn more about Dr. Hamad Shirazi: www.coachshirazi.com📲 Follow him on Instagram: @drhamadshiraziIf this episode resonated, be sure to subscribe, rate, and review Beyond The Pills to help us continue bringing conversations that challenge conventional medicine and expand what healing can look like...beyond the pills.Powerful Quotes from the Episode“Your body isn’t broken, it’s responding exactly the way a nervous system does when it doesn’t feel safe.”“Healing doesn’t come from forcing change; it comes from creating the conditions where the body feels safe enough to change.”“When you stop trying to override your body and start listening to it, healing becomes inevitable.”Love the show?Please leave a review on Apple with your favorite takeaway.

Nature, Surrender, and the Medicine We Forgot We Had with Jared PickardWhat if the medicine we’re searching for isn’t found in a pill… but in nature, rhythm, and surrender?In this powerful episode of Beyond The Pills, Josh Rimany sits down with Jared Pickard, co-founder of Be Here Farm & Nature, biodynamic farmer, wellness visionary, and creator of the Being Human self-mastery program. Together, they explore what it truly means to heal—body, mind, and spirit—by reconnecting with the natural rhythms of life.Jared shares his extraordinary personal journey: from working on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange to walking away from Wall Street, immersing himself in biodynamic farming, and ultimately losing everything he had built in the devastating California wildfires of 2020. What emerged from the ashes wasn’t just loss—but clarity, purpose, and a completely unexpected calling.Out of that fire was born Be Here Farm & Nature, a biodynamic skincare and wellness brand rooted in reverence for the land, seasonal rhythms, and energetic integrity. Jared recounts the surreal moment of evacuating with nothing but his family—and a single set of botanical oils that would later become the brand’s flagship product, the Summer Solstice Serum.But this conversation goes far beyond skincare.Josh and Jared dive deep into:Why nature and connection may be the most powerful medicine of our timeHow surrender—not force—often unlocks the next chapter of healing and purposeThe role of biorhythms, seasons, and coherence in physical and emotional healthWhy modern life has pulled us out of alignment—and how to gently returnRudolf Steiner’s teachings and the foundation of the Being Human programWhy clarity often comes after we stop trying to figure everything outThis episode is an invitation to slow down, listen more deeply, and remember what it means to be human in a world that has forgotten its rhythm.If you’ve ever felt burned out, disconnected, or unsure why “doing all the right things” still isn’t working—this conversation may change the way you understand healing.“Everyone has fires in their life. They’re just not always literal.”“You can’t heal what you’re disconnected from.”“Sometimes the most powerful choice is surrender.”About the GuestJared Pickard is the co-founder of Be Here Farm & Nature, a biodynamic farm and experiential wellness brand based in Wimberley, Texas. He is also the co-creator of Being Human, a 12-week online self-mastery program inspired by the teachings of Rudolf Steiner, designed to help people cultivate clarity, presence, and purpose in a noisy world.Resources & Links🌿 Learn more about Be Here Farm & Nature: https://beherefarm.com🌿 Explore the Being Human program: https://beherefarm.com/eventsIf this episode resonated with you, please subscribe, follow, and share Beyond The Pills with someone who needs a reminder that healing isn’t about doing more—it’s about coming back into rhythm.And if you haven’t already, leave a review on Apple Podcasts to help us continue these conversations that challenge the status quo of health.💊 Join The Beyond The Pills Community Today, Unlock True Healing Tomorrow! https://askjosh.gobeyondthepills.com/

We’re living through a moment that many people can feel, but few can explain.The world is shifting. Technology is accelerating. Old systems are cracking. And beneath it all, there’s a quiet question rising in the collective: What does it mean to be human now?In Episode #110 of Beyond The Pills, Josh Rimany sits down with Oscar Di Montigny, founder of the Grateful Foundation, to explore the deeper layers of this global transition—through the lenses of consciousness, economy, healing, ethics, and human responsibility.Oscar brings decades of experience from the worlds of finance, insurance, and executive leadership, paired with a rare ability to bridge science and spirituality, logic and intuition, innovation and soul. Together, they unpack why so many people feel disoriented today—and why that discomfort may actually be an invitation.“Humans are not made for answers. Humans are made for questions.”This conversation moves beyond fear-based narratives about AI, disruption, and uncertainty and reframes the moment we’re in as a call for orientation over speed, meaning over information, and gratitude as a stabilizing force in an increasingly complex world.“It’s not a matter of how fast we’re moving—it’s a matter of whether we know where we’re going.”You’ll hear why:Feeling the “shift” doesn’t mean something is wrong—it means you’re paying attentionTrue prosperity is not just economic, but human, relational, and ethicalHealing begins when we stop separating mind, body, spirit, and societyThe future isn’t something to predict—it’s something to participate in consciously“People may forget what we say and what we do—but they will never forget how we made them feel.”If you’ve been sensing that something is changing—in healthcare, leadership, work, or life—this episode will help you name it, ground yourself in it, and move forward with clarity rather than fear.This isn’t just a conversation.

Big Food, Bad Science, and the Metabolic Health Crisis No One Wants to Talk AboutWhat if the biggest threats to our health aren’t a lack of discipline or motivation—but decades of flawed science, industry influence, and nutrition dogma?In this eye-opening episode of Beyond The Pills, Josh Rimany sits down with Brian Sanders, health researcher, filmmaker, and founder of Sapien.org, for a bold conversation that challenges everything we’ve been told about food, fat, and human health.Brian is best known as the creator of the documentary Food Lies, where he investigates the origins of modern nutrition guidelines and exposes how weak science, corporate interests, and misinformation helped shape what we eat—and why chronic disease, obesity, and metabolic dysfunction are now widespread. His work pulls back the curtain on how seed oils, processed foods, and misguided dietary advice became normalized despite mounting evidence of harm.Through Sapien.org, Brian explores ancestral nutrition, metabolic health, circadian biology, and lifestyle design—helping people reconnect with the evolutionary principles that allowed humans to thrive for thousands of years. In this conversation, he and Josh examine how far modern life has drifted from our biological design, and why returning to real food and foundational lifestyle practices may be the key to restoring health.Together, they explore:The real science behind seed oils, saturated fat, and cholesterolHow nutrition research can be biased, misinterpreted, or driven by industryWhy metabolic disease continues to rise despite decades of “healthy” guidelinesThe disconnect between ancestral diets and modern food systemsHow aligning with our evolutionary biology can support long-term healthThis episode goes beyond trends, prescriptions, and quick fixes to address the root causes of chronic illness. If you’ve ever felt confused by conflicting nutrition advice or questioned mainstream health narratives, this conversation will give you the clarity and courage to think differently.This is not medical advice. It’s an invitation to question what you’ve been taught, reclaim personal responsibility, and pursue health beyond the pills.💊 Join The Beyond The Pills Community Today, Unlock True Healing Tomorrow! https://askjosh.gobeyondthepills.com/

Beyond The Pills with Kyle Brown: Redefining Health, Leadership, and Personal ResponsibilityWhat happens when we stop searching for quick fixes and start taking responsibility for our health, our leadership, and our lives?In this powerful episode of Beyond The Pills, we sit down with Kyle Brown for an honest, grounded conversation about what it truly means to heal, lead, and live with intention in a world obsessed with surface-level solutions. Kyle challenges the cultural fixation on pills, protocols, and external answers, and instead invites listeners into a deeper exploration of personal responsibility, self-awareness, and sustainable transformation.Throughout the episode, Kyle emphasizes that real change doesn’t come from doing more, it comes from becoming more.“You can’t outsource responsibility for your health and expect long-term results. At some point, ownership has to come back to you.”Together, we unpack how modern healthcare often treats symptoms while ignoring root causes and how that same pattern shows up in leadership, business, and life. Kyle shares why slowing down, listening to the body, and developing discernment are essential skills for anyone seeking longevity, clarity, and alignment.“Most people are trying to optimize systems they don’t actually understand—starting with their own body.”This conversation goes beyond physical health into the inner work required for lasting growth. Kyle speaks candidly about identity, discipline, and the importance of building awareness before chasing performance.“If you don’t understand yourself, no protocol in the world is going to save you.”Listeners will walk away with a renewed perspective on what it means to lead from the inside out—recognizing that healing, leadership, and purpose are deeply interconnected.Whether you’re a healthcare professional, leader, entrepreneur, or someone who knows there’s more to wellness than prescriptions and productivity hacks, this episode will challenge you to think differently and more deeply.This episode is for you if you’re ready to:Move beyond symptom-based solutionsReclaim ownership of your health and leadershipUnderstand the connection between awareness, discipline, and transformationLead with clarity instead of controlBuild a life rooted in responsibility, not dependencyBecause true healing and true leadership has always been beyond the pills.Connect with Kyle on LinkedinVisit Kyle's website to learn more!💊 Join The Beyond The Pills Community Today, Unlock True Healing Tomorrow! https://askjosh.gobeyondthepills.com/

Do you ever feel your mood dip as the days grow shorter?You’re not alone — millions experience Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) each year, often without realizing what’s behind it. In this episode of Beyond the Pills, we shed light on one of the most overlooked causes of seasonal mood changes — Vitamin D deficiency.I’m joined by our Chief Marketing Officer, Tara LaFon Gooch, who shares how a simple shift in her wellness routine helped her find joy and energy again during the darker months.Like many of us, Tara noticed that every fall her energy dropped, motivation faded, and anxiety crept in. When we ran her labs, the root cause became clear — her Vitamin D levels were critically low.Within weeks of supplementing consistently, she began to feel like herself again: “It was like the clouds lifted. My smile came back and it wasn’t forced anymore.”Vitamin D isn’t just a vitamin; it’s a hormone that regulates mood, sleep, and immune balance. Low levels can lead to depression, fatigue, and the winter blues — yet it’s one of the simplest things to restore.In this episode, we break down:The link between Vitamin D, serotonin, and seasonal mood shiftsHow to safely raise your levels (the D3 + K2 combo matters!)Simple daily habits to support sunlight, sleep, and emotional balanceYou’ll learn why mood issues often have metabolic roots and how aligning your biology can reignite your vitality.This is why Vitamin D3 will be featured in our new Wellness Made Simple Starter Kits.Each kit includes foundational supplements, at-home labs, and the Clean 14 reset to help you reduce inflammation, balance hormones, and reclaim your energy — even when the days grow dark.Because you don’t have to wait for spring to feel light again.Listen now to discover how restoring your Vitamin D can help you overcome seasonal fatigue, stabilize your mood, and live brighter — naturally. ☀️💊 Join The Beyond The Pills Community Today, Unlock True Healing Tomorrow! https://askjosh.gobeyondthepills.com/

In today’s eye-opening episode, we sit down with James White, CEO of KBMO Diagnostics, the leader behind the revolutionary FIT Test, to expose the silent killers hiding in your kitchen.James opens with a simple but startling truth:“Most people think it’s normal to feel crappy.

What if everything you’ve been chasing—success, performance, validation—was never the point?In this week’s episode of Beyond the Pills, we sit down with PJ Whitner, better known as PJ With Love—a creator, entrepreneur, and modern mystic redefining what it means to live fully awake.Once a nationally ranked tennis player and founder of a multimillion-dollar wellness brand, PJ mastered the outer game of achievement. But behind the wins, his nervous system was unraveling. Burnout didn’t destroy him—it initiated him. What followed was a profound shift from doing more to being more, from the pursuit of performance to the practice of presence.“Burnout isn’t failure—it’s the body’s invitation to remember who you really are.” – PJ With LoveIn this conversation, PJ opens up about his collapse and awakening, sharing how that breaking point revealed the deeper intelligence of the heart. Through fasting, breathwork, and meditation, he began rebuilding his life from the inside out—learning to lead, create, and love from coherence rather than chaos.We explore:The myth of high performance—why chasing optimization can separate you from your essence.The power of coherence—how aligning your mind, body, and spirit creates effortless flow.Nervous-system mastery—why calm isn’t withdrawal; it’s control, clarity, and creative power.Love as a strategy—what happens when devotion replaces discipline and presence becomes your edge.PJ’s wisdom bridges science and spirituality, grounding ancient practices in modern reality. Whether you’re a CEO, creator, or someone seeking peace in the noise, his message lands with calm conviction: performance without presence is just pressure.“You can’t think your way into peace—you have to feel your way there.” – PJ With LoveThroughout this episode, PJ and host Josh Rimany, Pharmacist-turned-healer and founder of the Beyond the Pills movement, explore how true wellness isn’t another supplement or protocol—it’s the restoration of wholeness. They talk about nervous-system regulation as a form of leadership, and how slowing down can actually accelerate impact.PJ’s journey reminds us that every breakdown carries a sacred blueprint for breakthrough. His story isn’t about rejecting ambition—it’s about redeeming it through awareness. When you operate from love rather than fear, you don’t lose your edge—you refine it.“Presence is the new performance. The calmer you are, the clearer you see, the faster you grow.” – PJ With LoveStay tuned until the end as PJ introduces With Love, his upcoming movement dedicated to coherence and creative awakening. You’ll also hear about:The Return — a 7-day inner-practice immersion.Wingsday — his weekly YouTube ritual of presence and integration.Full-Moon Fasting Ascension — a monthly reset to restore body and spirit.If you’ve ever felt stuck in overdrive or disconnected from your own inner compass, this episode is your permission slip to pause—to breathe—to come home.Connect with PJ With Love:Instagram / TikTok / YouTube → @PJ.WithLove

Pain, illness, grief; these are the things many of us try to avoid. But what if they are the gatekeepers to something more real, more alive, more whole? Meet Alix Kirshner, an Integration Coach and Certified Psychedelic Guide whose intended path in traditional therapy was forever reoriented by a cancer diagnosis. That diagnosis didn’t just challenge her physical health; it shattered her beliefs about pain, purpose, and what healing really means. From that breaking, Alix discovered a new way of being—a holistic journey that weaves together mind, body, spirit, and the profound intelligence of healing.After earning a BA in Social Psychology at UMass Boston, Alix’s life took a radical turn. The cancer came, as did the unraveling of old narratives. As she faced her own mortality, she asked difficult questions about suffering, meaning, and transformation. In the aftermath of her recovery, she explored psychedelic experiences—not as escapism, but as catalysts for deep integration. In Colorado, she earned certification as a Psychedelic Guide through the Center for Medicinal Mindfulness in Boulder, grounding her work in safety, compassion, and real tools for transformation.Today, Alix works at the intersection of science, spirituality, and compassion. She coaches clients at Mindbloom, particularly in integrating ketamine sessions, and in her private practice, Higher Healing, she guides journeys with medicines such as cannabis or psilocybin. She also supports those navigating grief—“grief” in all its forms: loss, transitions, unrealized dreams and helps people alchemize it into resilience, self-understanding, and purpose.In this episode, listeners will gain access to:Real stories of how psychedelic integration can shift one’s relationship to pain;Rituals, practices, and frameworks that transform suffering into insight;The ways grief can become not just something we endure, but something that expands our capacity to love, to create, to be present.You’ll hear about the importance of integration, a concept that’s central to psychedelic therapy. A recent analysis found that the literature on psychedelic integration spans more than 1,000 clinical papers covering some 40,000 patients, and shows “large” to “very large” effect sizes in outcomes when integration is part of the protocol. FrontiersYou’ll also learn about brain changes revealed in research: for example, psilocybin therapy has been shown to produce rapid, sustained antidepressant effects correlated with increases in global brain network integration, changes not observed with traditional antidepressants like escitalopram. NatureAlix makes it clear: meeting your pain with curiosity and compassion doesn’t minimize your suffering but it transforms it. As one healing quote puts it, “The wound is where the light enters you.” — Rumi. Mindfulness ExercisesAnd from the world of psychedelic therapy: recent clinical trials show that therapy assisted by MDMA, psilocybin, ketamine, etc., is consistently revealing those shifts in anxiety, PTSD, depression symptoms—often when prior treatments have failed. American Psychological Association+1If you’re feeling stuck with your pain, grief, or questions of purpose, this episode is for you. Tune in to be held, to be challenged, to be inspired. Let Alix’s story show you what’s possible when pain is treated not as something to escape, but as something to learn from, to integrate, to alchemize into something beautiful.After listening:Reflect on what grief or pain you’ve been resisting: what might happen if you sat with it instead of pushing it away?Share this episode with someone who might need the permission to feel, to heal, to transform.Leave a review—help us expand the conversation; many people need to hear this message.Key InsightWe all have the power to alchemize our pain—turning it into purpose, meaning, wisdom. Pain isn’t the opposite of love; it’s part of the same spectrum. When we meet it with compassion, we find transformation not in spite of our suffering, but because of it.💊 Join The Beyond The Pills Community Today, Unlock True Healing Tomorrow! https://askjosh.gobeyondthepills.com/

“Healing isn’t something we wait for from the outside. It’s something we activate from within.”100 episodes.100 stories of transformation.One shared mission—to help you go beyond the pills.On this episode, Josh Rimany, the Modern-Day Medicine Man, marks this milestone moment, he welcomes a guest whose life’s work embodies everything this show stands for: Dr. Fabrizio Mancini, an internationally recognized health and lifestyle expert, chiropractor, bestselling author, and frequent guest on Dr. Phil, CNN, and Fox News.Dr. Fab has spent more than thirty years showing millions that the greatest pharmacy is the one inside each of us.His message? You are the healer you’ve been waiting for.This 100th-episode celebration goes far beyond reflection. It’s a re-awakening—a reminder that medicine’s future is personal, spiritual, and purpose-driven.Rediscovering the Power Within“Your body was created to heal. Every cell is programmed for life, not disease.”Dr. Fab begins by dismantling one of the greatest myths of modern healthcare: that healing must come from a pill, a doctor, or a procedure. He invites listeners to reclaim their agency—to see the body as a divinely intelligent system capable of regeneration when we remove interference and reconnect with purpose.He shares a moment from his own awakening:“I realized that when people shifted from asking ‘What’s wrong with me?’ to ‘What’s my body trying to tell me?’—that’s when healing began.”The conversation with Josh dives deep into the intersection of ancient wisdom and modern science, from chiropractic philosophy to quantum healing, and the role of belief, gratitude, and community in reversing chronic disease. Together, they unpack how the mind, body, and spirit communicate—and why aligning all three creates lasting transformation.“Healing is not an event; it’s a journey of remembrance—remembering who we are before the world told us otherwise.”Living as Your Own Best DoctorThis episode isn’t just about health. It’s about identity.As Dr. Fab says, “When you take ownership of your health, you take ownership of your life.” Listeners will find themselves nodding as he and Josh explore what it means to move from dependence to empowerment, from symptom management to soul alignment. They challenge the old paradigm of fear-based medicine and offer a vision where love, service, and self-trust become the most potent healing modalities.Dr. Fab shares personal stories of patients who reversed chronic illness not through miracle drugs, but through mindset, forgiveness, and purpose. He explains how gratitude and service rewire the nervous system for healing, and why emotional energy is often the missing link in wellness.“Every emotion is chemistry. When you live in fear, you create toxicity. When you live in gratitude, you create life.”He reminds us that true wellness isn’t about avoiding sickness—it’s about cultivating wholeness.“The goal isn’t to live forever. The goal is to live fully—awake, aligned, and aware.”For Josh, this milestone conversation feels like destiny. Both he and Dr. Fab share the conviction that healing is not linear—it’s layered, spiritual, and deeply personal. Their synergy is palpable as they trade insights about energy medicine, consciousness, and purpose-driven health.Listeners will feel inspired to:Reclaim control over their healing narrative.Challenge the “pill for every problem” mentality.Remember that faith, mindset, and community are medicine.And they’ll walk away with the realization that the greatest transformation starts not in the pharmacy—but in the mirror.Your Invitation to Go Beyond“Don’t wait for a diagnosis to start living.

Money Meets Soul: Hannah Chapman on Healing Your Finances and Your FutureWhat if your relationship with money wasn’t just about spreadsheets, investments, and retirement accounts but also about healing your inner child, rewriting old stories, and aligning with your soul’s true design? In this episode of Beyond the Pills, host Josh Rimini sits down with Hannah Chapman, a powerhouse financial strategist who is rewriting the rules of wealth. As a Certified Financial Planner, Accredited Portfolio Management Advisor, and Chartered Retirement Planning Counselor, Hannah brings nearly two decades of experience to the table. But what makes her truly unique and the reason you’ll want to lean into this conversation—is her ability to blend practical financial wisdom with deep spiritual insights like Human Design, Gene Keys, and inner child healing.From the opening moments, you’ll realize this isn’t just another episode about money management. Hannah invites you to look beyond the numbers and into the beliefs, fears, and subconscious stories that shape your financial reality.Hannah’s story is as remarkable as her work. After years in the traditional financial sector, she realized something was missing: the soul. She witnessed clients who were “successful on paper” but emotionally burdened, spiritually unfulfilled, or energetically blocked from experiencing true prosperity. Instead of ignoring those gaps, Hannah leaned in. She began integrating holistic frameworks that help her clients uncover the hidden patterns keeping them from expansion; not only in their bank accounts, but in their lives.As Hannah shares in the episode:“Money isn’t just about dollars, it’s about energy. If we don’t heal the stories we carry from childhood, we’ll keep recreating the same patterns, no matter how much we earn.”This revelation sets the stage for a conversation that goes far deeper than wealth planning. Together, Josh and Hannah explore what happens when you align financial strategy with personal healing, spiritual growth, and authentic leadership.The heart of this episode lies in Hannah’s ability to connect the dots between personal transformation and financial freedom. You’ll hear about:Human Design & Gene Keys in Finance – Why understanding your energetic blueprint can change the way you approach money, decision-making, and even business growth.Inner Child Healing – How old stories around scarcity, safety, and self-worth show up in your adult financial life—and what you can do to rewrite them.Expansive CEO Mindset – Why Hannah founded her company, Expansive CEO, to help entrepreneurs lead with both strategy and soul.In one of the most powerful moments, Hannah reflects:“The things we hide from in our money are the very things that need our attention most. When you finally face them, that’s when real freedom begins.”This episode doesn’t shy away from the tough stuff like fear of failure, shame around debt, or the anxiety that comes with success. Instead, Hannah and Josh open the door to new possibilities, reminding us that financial health is inseparable from emotional and spiritual well-being.And here’s where it gets really exciting: Hannah shares practical strategies you can apply today. Whether it’s re-evaluating your investments, noticing how your body reacts to financial decisions, or creating new affirmations for abundance, you’ll walk away with tools that bridge the gap between strategy and spirit.As Hannah beautifully puts it:“When you bring the practical and the profound together, you stop living in survival mode and start living in expansion.”This episode is for anyone who has ever felt stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected in their relationship with money. If you’ve been craving a new perspective, one that honors both your financial goals and your soul’s calling; this conversation with Hannah Chapman is your invitation.👉 Listen now to learn how to heal your relationship with money, align with your soul’s design, and step into true prosperity.And if Hannah’s message resonates, don’t just stop at listening.

What if the disconnection, addiction, and grief so many of us struggle with aren’t just personal struggles, but signs of something deeper—what Kenn Day calls the “invisible world”? In this episode of Beyond the Pills, host Josh Rimany, pharmacist turned healer, sits down with Kenn Day, author of Post-Tribal Shamanism, to explore how ancient wisdom can meet modern life in transformative ways.Kenn has spent over thirty years studying and practicing shamanism. His journey has led him to craft a unique path—post-tribal shamanism—that thrives outside the confines of traditional tribal frameworks while remaining rooted in reverence, ritual, and the soul’s calling. From Cincinnati, where he has run a full-time shamanic practice since 1989, Ken has guided countless individuals to heal soul hunger, restore connection, and rediscover the living spirit in all things.Early in the conversation, Kenn reminds us that shamanism isn’t something you choose—it chooses you:“The nature of shamanism is that we are called by spirit. And that’s something that happens before we’re born.”This idea reframes healing as more than self-help—it’s a remembrance of something far older, a reawakening to the soul’s true path.For Kenn, shamanism isn’t only for those who feel “called” to be shamans. It’s for anyone seeking to reconnect with a deeper sense of reality:“If you have any interest in expanding your sense of reality, in connecting with the myriad spirits that surround you, and in having a positive, supportive relationship with the world around you—these are all good reasons.”Kenn emphasizes that animism—the recognition that everything, from a tree to your morning coffee cup, is alive and imbued with spirit—isn’t superstition. It’s a way of seeing the world that restores meaning, connection, and hope in a culture often starved of soul.Listeners will discover how post-tribal shamanism offers practical tools for today’s challenges: healing from disconnection, finding wholeness in grief, and even restoring integrity in business and leadership. As Ken explains, his work isn’t about escaping the modern world but transforming it:“My work is not about returning to the past, but evolving shamanic practice through our post-tribal lives.”This approach makes shamanic wisdom accessible—not as a relic of history, but as a living, breathing practice for anyone willing to listen, engage, and be transformed.Throughout the episode, Josh and Ken dive into powerful stories of spirit encounters, the surprising ways shamanism can emerge in everyday life, and how reconnecting with the invisible world can heal not only individuals but families, communities, and organizations.If you’ve ever felt the gnawing of soul hunger, or sensed there’s more to life than what meets the eye, this conversation will meet you where you are. It will invite you into a deeper way of living; one rooted in spirit, authenticity, and courage.Tune in to Beyond the Pills and join host Josh Rimany as he and Kenn Day explore post-tribal shamanism, the healing of invisible wounds, and the restoration of soul connection in our modern world.👉 Subscribe now to never miss an episode, and share this conversation with someone ready to remember the wisdom of spirit in their own journey.Learn more about Kenn's work

What if death was not something to fear, but a sacred passage we could prepare for with dignity, compassion, and even healing? On this episode of Beyond the Pills, we welcome Professor Kathryn Tucker, one of the nation’s most influential voices at the intersection of law, medicine, and consciousness. Together, they unravel a conversation that challenges how we view mortality, suffering, and the future of psychedelic-assisted therapy.Kathryn Tucker is a nationally recognized legal advocate, educator, and thought leader who has spent decades pioneering legal and ethical reform in palliative care and end-of-life options. She has led groundbreaking cases—including the first federal lawsuit under the Right to Try Act—championing cancer patients’ access to psilocybin-assisted therapy. She currently teaches one of the first law school seminars on psychedelic law and has been instrumental in shaping Oregon’s approach to psilocybin legislation.Her work asks the tough questions:Why do we treat dying as a medical failure instead of a natural passage?What role can psychedelics, like psilocybin, play in relieving existential distress at the end of life?And how can law, ethics, and spirituality come together to ensure that access to healing is a human right, not a privilege?This episode is both provocative and profoundly moving. Kathryn shares stories from the front lines of advocacy, lessons from her yoga and consciousness practices, and her unwavering belief that how we support people at the end of life reveals who we are as a society.Here are three powerful quotes from Kathryn that will stay with you long after the episode ends:“Dying is not a medical failure—it’s a universal passage. How we support that passage defines our humanity.”“Psychedelics are not about escaping reality—they are about meeting reality more fully, even at the end of life.”“Access to healing should never depend on privilege. It’s a basic human right, especially in our final chapter.”Through Kathryn’s lens, death is not the end—it is an invitation to deeper connection, healing, and presence. And the legal structures we build today will determine whether future generations can step into that invitation with dignity and support.If you’re ready to expand your understanding of healing, mortality, and what it means to live and die well, this episode is for you. Tune in now to Beyond the Pills for a conversation that weaves law, medicine, and spirit into a new vision for end-of-life care.Learn more about Kathryn L.

Leaving the System, Not the Mission: Dr. Susan Baumgaertel on Healing After MedicineWhat if the very system you gave your life to—decades of dedication, care, and clinical excellence—became the very thing that broke your spirit? For Dr. Susan Baumgaertel, that question wasn’t theoretical. It was personal. After more than 25 years in internal medicine, Dr. B realized the cost of staying silent in a system that was no longer aligned with healing. So, she chose something radical in today’s healthcare landscape: sovereignty.In this moving and courageous conversation, Dr. B takes us behind the curtain of modern medicine—where consolidation, corporatization, and unchecked productivity demands are driving good clinicians out of practice and patients into despair. But instead of walking away completely, she walked toward something better. She launched myMDadvocate, a consultancy rooted in compassion, agency, and true listening. She built MenopauseMenu.com, a hub of nourishing support for women navigating the changes of midlife. She authored The Menopause Menu, a heartfelt guide that reimagines care as connection. And through it all, she reclaimed the creative, compassionate, healer within.This episode is not just about medicine—it’s about what it means to come home to yourself. Dr. B shares practical wisdom for anyone feeling stuck or stretched thin: why sleep is sacred, how to find joy in daily rituals like walking, and the power of remembering that “no” is a full sentence. You’ll hear her reflect on burnout, moral injury, and the liberating clarity that comes when you decide to recalibrate your inner compass. Whether you’re a clinician on the edge of change or a patient desperate to be seen and heard, Dr. B’s message is universal: You’re not broken. The system is. And you have options.Tune in to this episode of Beyond the Pills for a raw, hopeful, and deeply empowering conversation with a physician who dared to redefine what healing really means.✨ Subscribe to Dr. B’s YouTube channel: Dr. Susan Baumgaertel🌿 Explore her advocacy work at mymdadvocate.com💛 Get menopause support and community at menopausemenu.com📕 Grab her book The Menopause Menu—available on Amazon.Let this episode be your permission slip to listen deeply, lead bravely, and live beyond the pills.
