Ep 260: How Modern Building Materials Trigger Chronic Illnesses | Lauren Riddei
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 knew how toxic our modern building materials are, mold wouldn’t be your biggest worry.Lauren Riddei got sick from her own job sites, and a naturopath's question helped point her toward why. She is a triple-certified building biologist and interior designer who rebuilt her practice around the idea that many modern building materials are contributing to poor health.The conversation gets specific. Acrylic paints she describes as smelling like acetone. Spray foam that can obscure water damage in a wall assembly. Fixed LED cans that are impossible to swap out. A smart meter her own utility company claimed it didn't know how to remove. Carpet that the EPA studied and removed from its own headquarters, before publicly denying it caused harm.A lot of what she recommends comes back to older craft. The five-weight pulley window built to be repaired. Linseed oil instead of a plastic coating. Mineral paint that binds to the wall rather than sitting on top of it. Kapok, cork, hemp, natural latex. Most of these predate the synthetic versions that replaced them.Lauren also explains why she thinks of mold as a way-shower rather than a villain, and why building smaller may matter more than building "green."You'll Learn:[0:00] Introduction[7:02] The rain barrel effect and reaching critical mass[12:11] Discovering building biology after a spiritual awakening[24:40] Why Europe builds with mass wall systems[34:35] Interrupting the general contractor's monocultured approach[43:09] Any redeeming qualities in modern homes[58:22] Healthy material swaps, from kapok fiber to cork flooring[1:16:02] Removing the smart meter and choosing circadian lighting[1:36:08] The German origins and 25 principles of building biology[1:57:07] We're building too big, and the greed and speed behind it[2:15:16] Moon wood and harvesting by the lunar cycle[2:31:06] A closing quote on biophilia and the built environmentRelated The Way Forward Episodes:Cancer, Forest Bathing, and Bio-hacking featuring Dean Hall | PodcastThe Science of Cannabis & Its True Health Benefits with Dani Fontaine | PodcastThe Hidden Ways Your Home Affects Your Health (And Your Spirit) with Danijela Saponjic | PodcastResources Mentioned:Healthy Building Alliance | <a href="https://www.google.com/goto?url=CAESYAHrOzAV1EMSxzqqy3WOE2zdE_9engcaebknCU6_N5pQjXLK_qdYesOwgJzMRa1UccMzYWu7k8_BrxcOTlqxXYhd6oRZy9drg9Cj7Lw_QtiQ5HYHO6IOUygWbgCuX59YSQ" target="_blank" style="background-co

Your membership directly supports the podcast and the work we do.The identity you built was just a solution to trauma.Kyle Cease is a transformational teacher, former touring comedian with two #1 Comedy Central specials, New York Times bestselling author, and creator of the Evolving Out Loud global community. He has coached over 16,000 people through his talks, retreats, online programs, and one-on-one.His wife, Dr. Amber Lynn Cease, a holistic doctor, spiritual mentor, and relationship educator, joins us later. Her honesty about what this inner work has done to her nervous system is some of the most grounded relationship talk I've heard on this show.Choosing a Costa Rica healing intensive over a Vegas event with Tony Robbins changed something the second Kyle made the call. He learned that the trauma you're avoiding lives in your body, not in your mind, and that positive thinking often becomes a form of spiritual bypass rather than actual healing. Years earlier, a viral blog post from a fellow comedian forced him into six days alone in a hotel room, facing the ego he'd spent his whole career building.Amber talks openly about leaving her old life for this relationship, the protector that ran her nervous system for years, and the day Kyle told her she was allowed to burn in hell.You'll Learn:[0:00] Introduction[7:03] The highest of the ego versus the highest of the heart[15:06] Every "I have to" sits on top of fear of never being loved[27:44] You are what you love, not what loves you[35:01] The world mirrors you and the only work is inside[51:15] Falling in love with emptiness on a 15-day water fast[1:13:49] Project Looking Glass stopped working in 2012[1:42:37] Letting the false self die inside a relationship worth fighting for[2:14:55] Holding space means not defending, just hearing them[2:45:47] Meditation isn't for quieting the mind, it's for dissolving the small selfResources Mentioned:Revolver (Movie) | IMDbFind more from Kyle and Amber:Kyle Cease | Website | Instagram | CoursesDr. Amber Lynn Cease | InstagramIntimate Expansion Couples Course with Kyle and Amber | Website<

When Brian Costello lost everything, he was able to understand what true healing is.Brian Costello is the author of The Primordial Code, a former CrossFit gym owner, and a multi-time national beach sprinting champion who rebuilt his life from rock bottom into something he never planned for.We open with the body, because the way you’re sitting right now is training how you'll walk into every conversation this week. Brian throws light on the root, heart, and crown, and how couches and cushions mask the signals your spine has been sending for decades. He shows why back chain dominance changes how people respond to you before you even speak.From there we move into his story. A 250-pound snatch PR started the collapse, followed by a surgery he wouldn't do today. His wife had an affair with a close friend, and for nearly two years anger was the only emotion he could reach. A 30-day fast with his wife reset them both. Plant medicine and a move to Costa Rica followed. His book came through once he stopped trying to write the one he thought he owed people.His brother Danny also gets real time here. Danny was vaccine-injured at 18 months and spent 20 years without a voice, but at age five he had a dream that his answer would come in the form of a board… You’ll want to hear this one!You'll Learn:[0:00] Introduction[10:37] Fully taking up your space as physical and spiritual practice[26:29] How the GOATa blueprint decodes durable human movement[36:06] Primordial Flow turns the floor into a conversation with the body[1:00:31] How CrossFit and a betrayal led Brian to rock bottom[1:16:20] Finding a way out one bite at a time[1:23:17] The 30-day fast that redefined abundance and healing[1:31:04] Ancient healing discoveries that led Brian to write The Primordial Code[1:49:58] The Primordial Code's fictional society and the real Confluence community it's inspiring[3:03:17] Brian's brother, a nonverbal speller, and what spellers can teach usRelated The Way Forward Episodes:The Lies About Anarchy & Politics The Media Want You To Believe with Catherine Bleish Bonandin | PodcastResources Mentioned:All We Know… ...Is In The Air by Danny Costello | BookMy Words Are My Voice | Podcast<span style="background-co

Since then, he's built the Anomalous America series, going state by state through old articles about buried cities, giant skeletons, canal systems lined with radium-impregnated ceramics, petrified forests, and mummies pulled from caves and mounds in the middle of the country.Our conversation moves through the collapse of the standard American narrative. The insane asylums that dwarfed every Capitol building. The tunnels dynamited during construction of the St. Louis bridge. Lovelock Cave and what the natives kept telling settlers about the giants they had warred with. Philadelphia City Hall and why they couldn't afford to tear it down.If the history you were handed has started to feel thin, this one gives you something real to explore.You'll Learn:[0:00] Introduction[5:12] Radium-laced ceramics in Arizona's canals may have supercharged ancient crops[10:45] The old maps and biblical narrative that point to America, not the Middle East[21:34] Where the Archivist diverges from Graham Hancock's timelines[39:43] The philanthropic institutions given a dictate to rewrite history[46:18] The biggest buildings in 1800s America were insane asylums in the middle of nowhere[1:07:38] The three layers of burials and how they reveal separate lost civilizations[1:15:22] Newspaper clippings on Texas's petrified forests, ancient walls, and a lost race[1:23:53] The Smithsonian became the highest bidder for dragons, sloths, and mummies[1:47:09] The Kandahar giant and Lovelock Cave, and whether giants still hide underground[1:58:32] The little season and millennial reign that explain a completely inverted world[2:17:22] They couldn't tear down Philadelphia City Hall without bankrupting the country[2:32:32] The near-death experience that set the Archivist on this pathFind more from The Archivist:The Archivist | YouTube | X Find more from Alec:Alec Zeck | Instagram | X

That same playbook is getting imported here through hyperscale AI facilities, Flock cameras, and utility lines built by bureaucrats who may not even have the legal authority to route them.A cattle rancher north of Dallas lost calves to stillbirths after a BESS facility went in across the road. A mother and daughter watched migraines and ear infections stop the moment they moved away. A Canadian sheep farming family lost about 500 head, and the daughter told Clayton her father developed early-onset dementia in the same window.Clayton also lays out the counter-move: ag impact studies, development districts, water conservation districts, rezoning, cross-partisan pressure.If you eat food and live in Texas, this one's for you.You'll Learn:[0:00] Introduction[8:45] Why the 5,000-to-400 China gap makes the whole competition argument a lie[19:20] The Flock camera that appeared at his ranch after he started talking[28:05] Wall Street's plan to drain Texas dry, and the cooling scam that hides it[39:57] 765 lines corroding pipelines toward disaster, and the zero-water tech being ignored[55:49] The stillbirths, migraines, and dead sheep that nearby families report[1:28:19] Light pollution two miles out still wrecks your biology [1:37:51] The tax handouts fueling BESS fires, and why stopping the AI bubble matters now[1:59:33] The limits of fixing this alone, and Clayton’s message to MAHA on change[2:09:49] The regenerative score label, and flagging processed food as abnormal[2:28:21] His MAHA-branded opponent's stock ties to glyphosate and TysonRelated The Way Forward Episodes:Coming Home: Healing the Chronic Disease of Separation with Dr. Zach Bush | PodcastEz-Water, Aether, & The Biofield featuring Carrie Bennett | PodcastCircadian Biology, Leptin, & Light featuring Sarah Kleiner | PodcastHow Too Much Artificial Light & Sunlight Affect Lifelong Health & Mortality with Matt Maruca | PodcastResources Mentioned:</

He talks about collapsing from exhaustion, failures that outnumbered wins ten to one, and realizing paralysis by analysis is the biggest thing standing between people and food.He shares why he thinks Phoenix is one of the worst places to be if the shit hits the fan, and his eleven scales of permanence for evaluating land. His homestead runs on multiple water sources, twenty kilowatts of solar, and a wood stove that heats his house off-grid.Curtis opens up about losing his wife Katie to cancer, what her illness taught him about pain the body refuses to release, and how three deaths shaped how he grieves.If you've felt paralyzed by how much you need to learn, this one's for you.You'll Learn:[0:00] Introduction[9:58] A one-legged bike ride down the West Coast that changed everything[15:06] Early failures, $100,000 on a quarter acre, and growing food in an apartment[42:55] The Protestant work ethic's roots and tropical wisdom[51:13] The 11 Scales of Permanence, and spotting threats before you buy[59:39] The most lush places to buy land in the US, plus Phoenix's biggest risk[1:27:29] Dowsing his well, building the homestead, and structuring land ownership through trusts and liens[1:48:58] The manufactured scarcity agenda that keeps winning regardless of who's in office, and the sovereignty sliding scale[2:08:17] The straw man, the signature it requires, and how to spot a genuine sovereignty teacher versus a charlatan[2:35:07] Losing Katie to cancer, and what her soul held ontoResources Mentioned:Spin Farming Basics by Wally Satzewich, Roxanne Christensen | BookBrazil (Movie) | IMDb Brave New World by Aldous Huxley | <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Brave-New-World-Aldous-Huxley/dp/0060850523" target="_blank" style="background-color:

Your membership directly supports the podcast and the work we do.Plasma makes up 99.9% of visible reality, yet no one talks about what that means for consciousness, healing, and the nature of experience itself.My guest, Dana Kippel, is an author, filmmaker, and researcher who wrote A New Force after a transcendental meditation session handed her the full definition of plasma in a single moment. She'd barely heard the word before that. Four years later, she's built an entire framework around it.She argues plasma isn't just the fourth state of matter. It's sentient, feminine, and the layer where consciousness, memory, belief, and physical reality feed back into each other. Ether by another name.The implications get interesting: why the same "demon" appears differently to different people, why UFOs keep changing shape across centuries, what happens to your beliefs when you die, and why she thinks alien disclosure distracts from a bigger story about your own biofield.If beliefs shape reality, the question isn't whether that's true; it's what you do with it. You'll Learn: [0:00] Introduction[9:21] Dana's definition of plasma breaks from the mainstream fourth-state-of-matter model[17:33] Deeply held beliefs get reflected back to you when you die[30:24] A divine, fixed reality versus one we co-create[49:08] Clearing “forever chemicals” through plasmoid cavitation, echoed in the unicorn tapestries[58:55] Waking up to weather modification without co-creative power feeds the thing you fear[1:43:54] UFOs as plasmoids reflecting your own beliefs[1:58:42] Repelling Sabrina Wallace's biofield-hacking claims by staying high in love[2:19:58] Common mistakes channelers make, and the AI psychosis spreading now[2:25:16] The Maharishi Effect might not be unique to transcendental meditation[2:32:16] The gnosis of plasma convinced Dana she's never aloneRelated The Way Forward Episodes:Near Death Experiences: Examining the Evidence of Life After the Body with Dr. Bruce Greyson | PodcastIs Plasma the Key to Decoding the Paranormal? with Dana Kippel | PodcastTelepathy, Autism & The Mind Beyond the Brain with Dr. Diane Hennacy Powell | PodcastBlindfold Vision, Luminous Children & The New Way of Being with Dr. Edith Ubuntu Chan | PodcastHow Telepathy & Animal Communication Question Our Understanding of Reality with Ditte Young | <a href="https://m.youtube.

That story is made of words. It's made of breath. You can't work on one without the other.Mark walks me through the four categories of conflict language most people speak without realizing it: soft talk, negations, projections, and dramatics. He explains why "I guess I need to be more consistent" produces a completely different life than "I can be more consistent this week".There's a story about a woman, a father who left, and how one word flipped her entire self-image. That moment alone is worth the listen.You'll Learn:[0:00] Introduction[6:24] How one changed word turned a woman's breakup story on its head[13:26] Mark took on the Muay Thai fighter identity to mask a victim mentality[24:27] How an enlightened doo-doo in Thailand changed the entire trajectory of Mark's life[42:33] Why writing scary stories down and adding breath in there unlocks a breakthrough[59:26] Breath is the point of everything Mark teaches, not just language[1:10:21] How swapping "us" for "himself" broke the spell of the victim mentality[1:25:57] The four pillars of conflict language that keep people stuck[1:48:04] The Donner Party proves we've watered down our most powerful words[1:58:46] Regenerative coaching means never having all the right answersRelated The Way Forward Episodes:Thought, Light & The Liquid Language of God with Veda Austin | PodcastResources Mentioned:Definitions Are For Dead Things by MasFresco | <a href="https://open.substack.com/pub/masfresco/p/definitions-are-for-dead-things?r=1cuxx1&utm_medium=ios" target="_blank
