Had the pleasure of flying to ATL to appear on Faust’s podcast for an epic chat! This is one of my all time fav conversations. Check it out!: https://youtu.be/dN2upstSd-g

I’d like to clarify my position regarding Episode 145:

I remain highly skeptical that the isolated substance known as “caffeine” is in any way equivalent to the naturally occurring constituents found in a fully intact coffee bean. For reference, consider how Vitamin C was “discovered”:

1. Take 400 cc of fresh lemon juice.
2. Add lead carbonate to remove citric acid.
3. Add lead acetate to further decitrate the juice.
4. Precipitate with dilute ammonia.
5. Resolve with acetic acid.
6. Reprecipitate with ammonia.
7. Remove lead with hydrochloric acid.
8. Extract waxes with butyl alcohol.
9. Add ethyl alcohol.
10. Evaporate remaining moisture.
11. Add pure acetone.
12. Evaporate to remove acetone.
13. Extract the active ingredient with acetone.
14. Evaporate the acetone solution again.
15. Add petroleum ether.
16. Administer the substance to animals.
17. Observe that the substance either prevents or reverses scurvy in animals.
18. Analyze the substance.
19. Conclude that this isolated compound (ascorbic acid) is the same as the Vitamin C found in food.

I did ask Shawn during the episode about how caffeine was “isolated.” However, I didn’t articulate my question well, so I don’t think his answer fully addressed what I was trying to get at.

That said, I personally experience stomach discomfort and increased anxiety almost every time I drink coffee — even when it’s organic, low-acid, etc. Many others I know report similar experiences, though I totally recognize that’s not everyone’s experience.

Additionally, Jason Christoff has shared some interesting insights on coffee:
12 Little-Known Facts About Coffee

I also personally drink UPDATE. I often have one sitting next to me during recent episodes, and I genuinely notice that it provides a more calming, clarifying energy — especially compared to my experience with coffee (or caffeinated beverages in general).

Finally, regarding podcast guests who feature products:

I do not believe that man can create anything superior to nature, nor do I think man-made creations can replace what nature provides. However, I do believe that man can develop beneficial products, even if those products are synthesized in a lab — especially those designed to mimic nature, bring nature into our unnatural environments, or enhance the benefits found in nature.

With respect to Ep 145, I love that I was able to have a personal conversation with the guy who synthesized the chemical that is used in UPDATE. because I think that energy/intention is being imprinted onto the product itself. I find Shawn to be an awesome guy who wants to make a positive impact on the world.

If you disagree with me, that’s okay. I just wanted to clarify my position.

I’ve covered the “no virus” position extensively which, in my mind, clearly answers the question of whether or not you should vaccinate.

I’ve also covered the problems with vaccines on some episodes, but I’ve yet to devote a full podcast episode to this topic.

I’d like to record an episode exclusively focused on the problems with vaccines.

Who do you think I should interview?

Hot take, unpopular opinion…

Family of 4 ——> family of 5 in a few weeks 🥰
being a father to my beautiful kids and husband to Kylee is the best part of my life, hands down.

Hey, y’all!

We’re just about ready to launch our new community platform at thewayfwrd.com — one that I truly believe will become the go-to resource for the health and freedom movement. It’s designed to make it easier than ever to connect with like-minded people, practitioners, farms, and alternative schools in your area.

One of the most exciting features is our interactive map, which lets you enter your zip/postal code or set a geolocation to instantly find:
✅ Like-minded practitioners (from biofield tuning to myofascial release therapy)
✅ Like-minded farms
✅ Like-minded alternative schools
✅ And like-minded people near you

We’ve put together an extensive list of subcategories for practitioners, but now we need your help in shaping the categories for alternative schools and farms.

Here are a few examples:
➡️ Alternative Schools: Homeschooling pods, Montessori, Waldorf, etc.
➡️ Farms: Raw milk, biodynamic, fruit orchard, etc.

What other subcategories would you like to see? Your input is invaluable in making this the most comprehensive and useful resource for our community.

Drop your suggestions in the comments or reply to this message — we’d love to hear from you!

Thank you for being part of this movement!

Why I *Think* Non-Verbal Autistic Children Seem to Exhibit Telepathic Abilities at Higher Rates:

You may have heard of the viral podcast series, The Telepathy Tapes, which explores compelling evidence that non-verbal autistic children can communicate telepathically. Their abilities challenge everything the mainsteam knows about consciousness, perception, and communication. But why is this happening?

Here’s my perspective. And I want to be clear, this is just my perspective, and a possible explanation of what’s going on.

The National Institutes of Health (NIH) defines the biofield as a massless field that surrounds and permeates living bodies. The biofield is also known as the "energy field", “aura” or "bioenergy field.”

In my opinion, the biofield is likely what we call the soul when it is contained within a body (in my opinion there is no separation, but rather distinction). I think the biofield is the energetic blueprint of who we are, deeply intertwined with our consciousness and our ability to perceive beyond the physical.

I think that, as mankind continues to remember, the souls entering into this realm today are increasingly spiritually inclined, drawn here during a time of immense transformation. With this heightened spiritual nature comes a greater sensitivity to the physical world — to its energies, its disruptions, and its assaults on the body.

The physical body is bombarded with disruptive forces like nnEMFs, vaccines, antibiotics & other pharmaceuticals, toxins in our food, air, and water, heavy metals, artificial light and circadian disruption, perpetual stress, fear, and tension amongst the energetic field of mankind creating a ripple in the aether, etc. These factors create a biological and energetic environment that is overwhelming, even unbearable, for highly sensitive souls.

The biofield and body must work in harmony, but when the body becomes so compromised,
I think the biofield may begin to pull away (not fully detach, but separate enough to function differently). I think this happens because the body is too toxic for the soul to fully integrate, the nervous system is in constant shock, making full embodiment difficult, the collective energetic field is charged with fear and tension, further pushing souls into survival adaptations, the biofield compensates by amplifying its non-physical abilities instead.

If the body cannot function optimally, the soul finds new ways to navigate reality. Telepathy — direct biofield-to-biofield communication, or biofield-to-biofield perception — becomes a natural alternative.

Also, in many cases, the heavy metals that have accumulated in the brains of non-verbal autistic children could play a role in enhancing their ability to pick up certain signals. In the Telepathy Tapes, Ky references a lady (famous celebrity, name slipping my mind) who received a certain type of metallic dental implant and began hearing radio signals/songs in her head.

Non-verbal autistic children may have an incredibly “switched-on” ability to perceive and
communicate through the aether.

For these kids, telepathy may actually be an adaptive response to an environment that makes embodiment difficult.

I don’t think this ability is unique to non-verbal autistic children. I think all of us have these untapped abilities, and we’re reaching a point in human history where we are remembering this en masse.

The intensity of the modern world is incredibly challenging for non-verbal autistic children — their lives are undeniably hard in most cases.

But what if, despite this hardship, they are helping us realize our own potential? What if telepathy is part of our natural state?

What if they are showing us how connected we truly are, that this reality is fundamentally metaphysical, that there is far more to this life, and to us, than meets the eye?

Maybe their existence is not just a challenge, but a gift — a reminder of what we have forgotten.
