    Alec & Mark - soooo simple the delicate process of unpacking the negative stories revolving through our minds with the written word and then reading it. Oh and rocket science here - how about we ever write down the great stuff - read it, own it, celebrate it! Looking forward to trying these steps my self this weekend! Thank you! Loved every second of this! Including the Donner Party!!šŸ˜‚ā¤ļø

    That’s funny people rate this not 5 star.

    Every episode is fantastic. One of the best health and wellness podcasts, if not the best.

  • Not a nice guy

    I am a long time podcast listener and attended Alec’s Confluence event for the first time this year in 2026. I was treated like absolute trash by both him and one of the presenters at the event, and have yet to receive a refund, an apology, or any accountability whatsoever for any of it. I was repeatedly terrorized by a presenter and his family at the event, and not only did Alec not care, he blamed me for what happened and basically insinuated that I deserved it. I’m still floored that this is ... more

  • Excellent guests and content!

    Love this podcast so much! Deep gratitude for Alec's insights, sharing wisdom, and dropping so much valuable information into the collective consciousness. Genius-level guests, long engaging conversations that don't get boring or waste my time with trivial chat, and not too many ads (and none of the loud obnoxious off-topic generic ads). Yes. I’ve been binge listening to older episodes since I found this podcast.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Ep 260: How Modern Building Materials Trigger Chronic Illnesses | Lauren Riddei
Q: What are the core problems with modern building materials and what swaps can people implement?
The core problems include toxic and volatile chemicals in paints, glues, formaldehyde, carpet emissions, central AC and dirty electricity. Swaps include mineral paints instead of acrylics, lime wash, hemp or mineral wool insulation, cork flooring, natural latex cushions, linseed oil finishes, beeswax, and passive ventilation strategies, plus reducing energy-first solutions that trap moisture and mold.
Ep 260: How Modern Building Materials Trigger Chronic Illnesses | Lauren Riddei
Q: Okay, let's start by having you introduce yourself, and then run through your background and what led you to building biology.
I'm a health and wellness interior designer and a triple-certified building biologist who began this journey in 2021 after a series of health scares tied to exposures on job sites. My experiences, tests with a naturopath, and the rain barrel framework pushed me to adopt Building Biology principles and teach others how to read material safety data sheets, select healthier materials, and design homes that support wellbeing.
Ep 253: The Hidden Link Between Your Breathing & Your Self-Esteem | Mark England
Q: And don't get me wrong, there's some validity to those things. But just in your opinion, what is the deal there?
Wealth and abundance come from focus and decades-long momentum, not quick Insta-fame; true manifesting is a long-term commitment, and the breath and language are what unlock sustainable progress.
Ep 247: The Real Cause of Insomnia & Sleep Issues with Derek Lacey
Q: What do you think is the true major cause of insomnia?
It's often not just lifestyle but an underlying, unresolved pattern tied to past experiences and associative memory that continues to influence sleep. Addressing this through awareness and energy-based frameworks can unlock sleep that has been blocked by mental and energetic entanglements.
Ep 232: The Science of Cannabis & Its True Health Benefits with Dani Fontaine
Q: Can you explain how CBD and THC interact with the endocannabinoid system in a personalized way?
CBD acts to remind the body to produce its own endocannabinoids and support receptor function, while THC can directly affect receptors and enzyme activity; the effects depend on an individual's SNPs and genetic makeup.
