  1. Post:The Truth About Chocoloate, Cacao, and Carob. I’ve always been confused by chocolate vs. cocoa vs. cacao, and their supposed health benefits. This blog post clears it all up nicely, and shows which one you should be using for its health benefits. Click here to read the post.
  2. Quote:“Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.” - Naval Ravikant. Naval made this statement in response to the latest social media uproar over God-knows-what. He’s noting that the Outrage Economy is predicated on getting you to care about the latest happenings and engage. It’s a game, and even a business model for some. They are trying to get you to engage in an argument simply for clicks, page views, and likes. And the prizes for winning that game are maybe momentary feelings of “Oh yeah, I showed them!!” seems pretty stupid right?
  3. Product: Biocidin. I have two little kids that are constantly in some state of sickness. They go to school and daycare and come back sneezing, coughing and with noses running. Being a busy parent and business owner, I just don’t have time to be sick. Whenever I feel something coming on, I take a few squirts of this stuff and it’s gone. It’s expensive, but worth every penny. One bottle will last months.
  4. Recipe of the day: Paleo Peanut Butter Cups. Speaking of chocolate… We eat a diet that I would call ‘dirty keto’. We never consume refined sugar, and often use stevia as sweeteners. But we (and especially our kids) often crave treats, so this was perfect for a delicious sweet treat. There’s no baking involved! Paleo peanut butter cup recipe.
  5. Offer of the week:No doubt you’ve heard about the benefits of collagen. I started taking it about 2 years ago and the pain I used to have in my knee is completely gone.


More good stuff coming next week, stay tuned!

You're invited to (virtually) hang out with me and Michael on October 1st, at 7pm EST.

We will be livestreaming from our kitchen to share one of our fall traditions...making fire cider!

We’ll be teaching you how to make your own fiery concoction to ward off winter colds and keep your immune system running at 100%.






fire cider ingredients



The basic concept of infusing vinegar with medicinal herbs and roots has been around for a long time, but it was an herbalist named Rosemary Gladstar who gave it the name "fire cider" in the 1970s and shared it widely as a remedy for boosting the immune system and fighting off colds.

Since then, it's become a beloved staple in herbal medicine and DIY health communities, especially among homesteaders and those who value natural remedies.

Making fire cider is a fall tradition here at the Kilpatrick farmhouse, because we wait until all of our root crops are harvested (garlic, onions, turmeric, ginger) so we can make the spicy infusion with fresh ingredients. All of the ingredients are chosen for their immune-boosting qualities, having high levels of antioxidants, anti-inflammatories, and vitamins.

Then we batch-prepare several different fire cider flavors, and take a spoonful every day throughout the winter to combat colds and stay healthy.

This year, you’re invited to see exactly how it's done!

Join us on October 1st, at 7pm EST for a DIY fire cider event that will be livestreamed from our home kitchen. We’ll show you how we make our signature fire cider, and give you a basic recipe to use and access to the livestream replay so you can rewatch it. Tickets are only $5!






This is our first time hosting a fall event like this, and we’re excited to see how many people are interested in natural wellness alternatives!

Hi Jimi,
Nutritional yeast (affectionately known as “nooch”) is loaded with protein, B vitamins, potassium, iron, calcium, and other minerals.
It can also taste pretty darn amazing — when you know what to do with it.
Regardless of your current state of nooch savviness, our team put together some nutritional yeast recipes that I think you’ll love.
Get the whole noochy story and some extraordinary recipes here.
Yours for culinary awesomeness,
Ocean Robbins
P.S. These brilliant recipes were created by FRN’s lead dietitian and recipe developer, Nichole Dandrea-Russert, RDN. Nichole and I teamed up to create FRN’s forthcoming recipe book, Powered By Plants: Nutrient-Loaded 30-Minute Meals to Help You Thrive. If you love excellent nutrition and great recipes, check out our new book, and order your advance copy here.

Inflammation Poses Heart Disease Risk

By Chauncey Crandall, M.D.

There are steps you can take to prevent chronic inflammation within your body and reduce your risk for serious diseases, including heart disease. Here’s a rundown of some of the common causes of chronic inflammation within the body.

Gum disease is one of the most common forms of infection that people fall prey to, affecting anyone. But what few people know is that it can raise your risk for heart disease. To fight gum disease, brush and floss your teeth after every meal, see your doctor for regular dental checkups and cleanings, don’t use tobacco products, and take 3,000 mg of vitamin C a day to prevent gums from receding.

Special: Avoid Top Hospital Screwups With This Critical Handbook…FREE!

Smoking not only contributes to gum disease, but causes inflammation on its own. In addition, exposure to cigarette smoke makes the blood more likely to clot, which leads to heart attack and stroke.

Autoimmune diseases occur when a person’s immune system becomes activated not against a foreign invader, such as a virus or bacterium, but against the body itself. Autoimmune diseases put the body into a chronic inflammatory state, raising heart disease risk. The most common ones that can affect the heart include rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, lupus, psoriasis, inflammatory bowel disease, ulcerative colitis, and Crohn’s disease.

Belly fat just doesn’t sit there, making your belt too tight. It actually interacts with biological processes in the body — and in a very unhealthy way, releasing “inflammation mediators” into the bloodstream.

Chemotherapy and radiation can contribute to the development of heart disease. Cancer survivors who have undergone such treatments should be monitored for early signs of heart disease.

Have you ever discovered something that completely transformed how you see the world?
That’s exactly what happened when we sat down with the incredible Lucretia VanDyke on HerbMentor Radio.
Lucretia is a renowned herbalist and author of African American Herbalism: A Practical Guide to Healing Plants and Folk Traditions.
Her work is rooted in southern folk healing, plant spirit meditation, and ancestral wisdom, and in our latest episode, she shares stories that will inspire you to look at herbalism and life in a new light.
In this episode, Lucretia explores:
  • The deep cultural connections to plants and how food can be a powerful form of medicine.
  • Herbal rituals and spiritual practices passed down from her ancestors.
  • The magic of everyday plants like pokeweed and how we can reawaken the knowledge our elders have held for generations.
  • Grief work with plants and the importance of community and ceremony in the healing process.
Lucretia’s insights remind us that plants do more than just heal—they connect us to our roots, our stories, and each other.
If you’re curious about how to deepen your relationship with plants or want to learn how to bring sacred traditions into your herbal practice, this episode is for you. Tune in and discover a new perspective on herbalism that’s rich in history, culture, and heart.

There’s no time to sugarcoat this...

  • Over 1 billion people globally suffer from chronic diseases
  • 4 in 10 U.S. adults live with two or more conditions
  • 90% of healthcare costs go to managing it
From diabetes to heart disease, asthma, arthritis, and even depression – chronic diseases are everywhere, affecting people of all ages. But here’s the good news: these conditions can be prevented, reduced, and even reversed with the right approach.

The root cause? Lifestyle...
The solution? Lifestyle Medicine!

Thousands of doctors are already using this revolutionary, evidence-based practice to help patients take control of their health and stop managing chronic symptoms. As Dr. Dean Ornish said, "If Lifestyle Medicine were a drug, every doctor in the country would prescribe it." And the impact is undeniable: up to 80% of chronic diseases could be reversed if we apply what we already know.

You and your family deserve good health...

Hello Jimi,
In this episode, I speak with Dr. Achina Stein and Silvia Covelli about their soon-to-be-launched venture, The Healing Depression Project.
If you’re a long-time depression sufferer, this episode is for you. And if depression isn’t an issue you deal with, please consider passing this episode on to someone you love who lives with this disease. There are so many helpful steps we discuss…it might be what they need to finally feel a difference in their life and spark hope.
In this podcast, Dr. Stein, Silvia, and I discuss:
  • How Silvia had to be her own advocate and find alternatives to her pharmaceutically-treated depression because drugs simply weren’t working

  • How The Healing Depression Project offers a new approach to treating depression (that takes into account the entire person, not just the brain)

  • The fact that 60% of people who take depression medications get little to no benefit…where should people turn when nothing else has worked?

  • What depression actually is and how it’s viewed and diagnosed in the conventional medical model

  • Why is the serotonin theory still the dominant explanation for depression, even after being debunked for years?

  • The strong role of the placebo effect in depression treatment

  • The 2 primary focuses of The Healing Depression Project and why retreat-based treatment is the best way to heal this chronic illness

  • The biggest needle-movers for depression Dr. Stein has seen in her practice

Hi Jim,
As the crisp fall air sets in and the leaves start to change, it's the perfect time to think about a detox—not just for your home, but for your body too. After a long summer of indulgence, your body might be craving a reset.
But where do you start? Detox plans and trendy cleanses can be overwhelming and confusing. Luckily, there's a natural way to rejuvenate your body from the inside out:
Glutathione… a powerful antioxidant that works wonders to clear out toxins that can weigh you down. Think of it as your body's natural detox agent, targeting those hidden fat pockets and flushing away harmful substances that contribute to weight gain and sluggishness.
4 Reasons This is Your Fall Detox Hero?
  1. Powerful Antioxidant: Glutathione helps combat oxidative stress by neutralizing free radicals and protecting your cells from damage.
  2. Anti-Aging Properties: By protecting your cells from damage, glutathione helps reduce the signs of aging.
  3. Enhances Skin Health: Glutathione helps brighten skin and reduce wrinkles.
  4. DNA Repair and Immune Support: Glutathione plays a critical role in repairing damaged DNA and boosting your immune system. This means fewer colds, fewer health issues, and more days feeling your best.
So… what happens when your body doesn’t have enough glutathione?
Weight Gain:
When glutathione levels are low, oxidative stress runs rampant, which can lead to weight gain, especially in stubborn areas like your belly.
Increased Health Risks: Low levels of glutathione have been linked to serious health conditions like dementia, heart disease, and diabetes. In fact, those with lower glutathione levels have a 30% greater risk of heart attack.
Chronic Fatigue and Poor Mood: Feeling constantly tired or irritable? This could be due to depleted glutathione levels, which are crucial for maintaining energy and a positive mood.
A recent study on elderly individuals found that those with higher glutathione levels had fewer illnesses, lower cholesterol and blood pressure, and reported feeling healthier and happier.

Not too long ago, we called menopause “the change” and it was talked about only in hushed whispers.
Well, I’m on a mission to change that.
Because you deserve better, Jim
Sure, symptoms like hot flashes and stubborn weight gain are bothersome.
But did you know there’s a whole host of other (kinda scary) things that happen to women in menopause?
That’s right, shifting and declining hormones in menopause can lead to adverse metabolic changes.
In fact, 70% of women, by age 50, will struggle with poor metabolic health, the biggest risk factor for:
  • Prediabetes & diabetes
  • Cancer
  • Cognitive decline
  • Cardiovascular disease
The good news is that dialing in your metabolic and hormone health NOW can lead to much better outcomes in the future.
And that’s exactly why I’ve partnered with 40+ of the top menopause experts in the world to create the Thriving in Perimenopause and Menopause Summit.
To give you the blueprint you need to engineer a healthier, more resilient life — in menopause and beyond.
This summit is going to be like nothing you’ve ever seen or heard before because of it:

I can’t wait to see you inside!

Gut Bacteria Could Raise or Lower Alzheimer’s Risk
A study has pinpointed ten specific types of gut bacteria that are associated with the development of Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Six of these bacteria groups were identified as having protective effects against AD, while the remaining four were associated with an increased risk.
Of the four types of bacteria connected to an increased risk of AD, at least two are also linked to gut inflammation. One, Collinsella, is associated with rheumatoid arthritis, atherosclerosis, and type 2 diabetes as well as AD. The researchers were able to pinpoint these ten types of bacteria by analyzing a large set of genetic data from the MiBioGen consortium initiative.
In the study discussion, the authors noted that some of the protective bacteria were more likely to be found in populations with plant-based and high-carbohydrate diets (especially versions of the Mediterranean diet), while at least one risk-associated bacteria type was more abundant in those with a diet high in fat and protein.
Exercise May Be More Effective for Mental Health than Medication
Exercise may be 1.5 times more effective for managing depression than either counseling or the leading medications, a study has found. Specifically, exercise interventions that last for 12 weeks or less can effectively reduce mental health symptoms.
This recent research review examined the results of 1,039 trials and 97 reviews, which included a total of 128,119 participants. The best results of exercise for mental health were seen among individuals with depression, pregnant and postpartum women, healthy individuals, and those diagnosed with HIV or kidney disease. Higher-intensity exercise showed the greatest improvements for anxiety and depression, but all physical activity was found to be beneficial.
“Physical activity is known to help improve mental health. Yet despite the evidence, it has not been widely adopted as a first-choice treatment,” said Dr. Ben Singh, the lead researcher. “We hope this review will underscore the need for physical activity, including structured exercise interventions, as a mainstay approach for managing depression and anxiety.”​

The Definitive Guide to Dementia Prevention (free today!)
Research increasingly suggests that dementia may be largely preventable.
However, memory damage often starts decades before symptoms arise, which means it’s critical to start making changes to support your brain health as soon as possible. Unfortunately, this can be problematic, since there is limited and often conflicting information available about which specific changes you should focus on. That’s why Julia Lundstrom, Neuroscience and Brain Health Educator, created her free workshop: The Definitive Guide To Dementia Prevention. In it, you’ll discover what your current Alzheimer's risks are, how to boost a specific protein that is key to Alzheimer's prevention, and how to heal any past damage to your brain by stimulating stem cell rejuvenation.

5 Serious Health Risks of Common Cookware (+ Safer Alternatives)
Nonstick cookware is often hailed as a timesaving, frustration-reducing invention, but unfortunately, this convenience comes at a price. The same chemicals that keep food from sticking to the pan are also linked to several types of cancer, kidney and liver damage, immune problems, and reproductive issues. They also off-gas toxic fumes that can cause flu-like symptoms and even kill pet birds. These chemicals are even more harmful during manufacturing and can pollute drinking water. (More)
Potassium-Rich Foods Boost Heart Health, Offset Sodium Intake
Potassium is an essential mineral and electrolyte that is required for normal cell function. It can also help to lower blood pressure when consumed abundantly via potassium-rich foods, as documented by a recent study, and even helps negate the negative effects a high salt intake has on the heart. Overall, those who consumed the most potassium had the lowest risk of a cardiovascular event, but the effects on blood pressure were more significant for women than men. (More)
IBS + Other Digestive Disorders May Increase Risk of Parkinson’s
Parkinson’s disease is a disorder of the central nervous system, resulting in symptoms like slow movement, loss of balance, and tremors. However, some new research indicates that gastrointestinal health could play a role in the development of this disease. Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) without diarrhea, constipation, gastroparesis, and swallowing difficulties (dysphagia) were all associated with a higher risk of being diagnosed with Parkinson’s. (More)​
Compelling Health Fact
There are so many cells in the human body that it’s hard to count them all, but current estimates put the number at around 30 trillion cells (give or take a few). Cells are divided into about 200 different types that all perform unique functions and have a different structure, size, and shape.​

Hi Jimi,
Proponents of the alkaline diet claim that it can improve health by promoting an optimal body pH balance. This balance, they argue, helps reduce inflammation, boost energy, prevent chronic diseases, and support weight loss.
But is there evidence to back this up?
Here’s what you need to know about the alkaline diet.
Yours for separating fact from fiction,
Ocean Robbins
P.S. Fans of the alkaline diet tell us that certain foods (like fruits, vegetables, and nuts) create an alkaline environment in the body, which in turn prevents conditions such as cancer and osteoporosis, compared to acid-forming foods (like meat, dairy, and processed foods). But what does the science tell us? Get the whole story here.

The People's Reset UK
What started as a response to a push by governments around the world, has now evolved to be a movement which focuses on solutions – not because we live in fear, but because we know that we are here on this planet to effect real world change and leave behind a better world for the coming generations. The People's Reset UK is a movement dedicated to decentralization, localization, individual and collective healing, community, and liberty.

The Greater Reset Activation was our response to the World Economic Forum’s “Great Reset” initiative. In June 2020, the WEF called for using the COVID19 panic to reset the world and shift it towards a digital panopticon with facial recognition, social credit scores, censorship, and the Metaverse all powered by AI. This world would shame private ownership and travel all in the name of “collective good”.

In 2024, after 4 years and 5 successful events, John Bush, Derrick Broze and team announced that starting in January 2025, The Greater Reset in Mexico would be called “The People’s Reset”. The People’s Reset will stick to the same 5 core themes and continue to broadcast a free livestream for all 5 days of the Activation. Join us September 27-29.

In case you missed it (or didn’t have time to watch the full video), here’s why the Toxins Exposed webinar is something you really don’t want to skip…

For one, feeling constantly tired, foggy, or just not like yourself might be your body’s way of telling you it’s overloaded with toxic chemicals you encounter every day…

… and you need to know why that is and what you can do about it.

And then there’s the fact that you’re surrounded by over 140,000 toxins that could be silently putting your health (and even your life) at risk…

Risk of getting chronic diseases and even increasing your chances of getting cancer!

The good news is you can stop this toxic buildup once you know what to look for.


Get the full scoop on how to reduce this risk with our F.REE Toxins Exposed Webinar
Here’s why the webinar is worth your time:

  • The 9 silent toxins that are secretly increasing your cancer risk every day.
  • A simple 3-step detox process to help your body eliminate these toxins for good.
  • The truth about “healthy” products that are actually loaded with toxins, and how to avoid them.
  • Why most detoxes fail—and the strategy that actually works.
This is your chance to finally regain control over your health.

>> Watch the video now and see what’s at stake before it's too late!

Even though you may have a family history…

Or because you're getting older…

That doesn’t mean you're destined to have arthritis!

Specifically, osteoarthritis (OA).

This is also known as degenerative joint disease (DJD) and in the spinal discs, degenerative disc disease (DDD).

It’s typically thought of as "wear and tear" arthritis.

No matter what you call it, it’s NOT an inevitable part of aging.

If that was the case, then every joint in your body and spine would have the same level of arthritis, right?

Lifestyle factors play a huge role in preventing, slowing, and even reversing OA.

From diet and supplements to exercise and posture, there are so many natural ways to support and restore your joint health.

So in this video, I breakdown why…

Arthritis is NOT normal!

And what you can do about it.

Check it out right here.

And of course, Be Your Own Guarantee for your health and life.
