For most of history, conversations about death and the afterlife were left to religion and philosophy. But recent breakthroughs in neuroscience, hospice care, and consciousness research are bringing new evidence to the table.

And what they’re revealing will change everything. In this episode, hospice nurse and New York Times bestselling author Julie McFadden shares what she’s witnessed across hundreds of deaths — patterns so consistent they’re now cited in hospice textbooks: visions of deceased loved ones, a heightened awareness near death, and people choosing when they will die

Her perspective has reached millions online, helping reframe how we think about death — not as something to fear, but the continuation into potentially something much more beautiful.

We explore: 1) What really happens in hospice care 2) Why Alzheimer’s patients sometimes become lucid before death 3) Whether consciousness originates in the brain — or passes through it 4) How your view of death shapes what you chase, fear, and hold on to

If you’ve ever wondered what happens next — or how to live before it does — this episode brings together science and personal story like few things can.

As a 5x world champion, Deonna Purrazzo is one of the top professional wrestlers in the world.

But on January 13, 2024, everything shifted.

After a televised match aired nationally, a short video clip went viral—not because of her performance, but because of her appearance. Thousands of strangers flooded the internet with ruthless, body-shaming commentary.

In this raw and unfiltered conversation, Deonna opens up about: – What it felt like to be publicly torn apart – The emotional aftermath of that moment – The viral tweet that became a cultural line in the sand

We explore what it means to exist in a profession—and a culture—that constantly critiques women’s bodies. From internalized shame to emotional resilience, from invisible scars to body image distortion, this episode holds nothing back.

And we ask the bigger question: What happens when society tells you to “love your body”… while demanding you change it?

This is not just a story about wrestling It’s a story about objectification, survival, and the courage it takes to be a light in a dark space.

Dr. Valter Longo was named by TIME Magazine as one of the 50 most influential people in health—and he's widely considered the world's leading authority on the science of fasting. What you're about to hear might completely rewire your understanding of the human body.

For decades, we’ve been told: *That going without food is dangerous. *That we constantly need fuel. *That hunger equals harm.

But Dr. Longo’s research tells a different story. Under the *right* conditions, fasting doesn’t weaken the body—it activates it. It triggers powerful internal systems of repair, regeneration, and resilience.

And the implications are staggering: From cancer to autoimmune disease to multiple sclerosis, this may be one of the biggest breakthrough interventions in modern medicine.

In this conversation, we explore: *The cutting-edge science behind fasting *How it supports healing on a cellular level *Why the healthcare system still resists it *Why his trials haven't gotten billions in funding *The difference between water fasting and the Fasting Mimicking Diet
