• Elizabeth Vernon on Biologic Inserts, Human Hierarchy, and Kennedy as Controlled Opposition

  Elizabeth Vernon is a beekeeper-activist, herbalist, and founder of Queen Bees Farmacy, dedicated to bringing together the world of wild-crafted remedies, advocacy, and deep terrain insight.In this episode, we dive into the hidden dimensions of health and resistance — from how screen time is reshaping our bodies and nervous systems to the untested and unknown dangers of biologics. Elizabeth pulls no punches as we unpack how certain systems of “controlled opposition” (yes, we talk about RKF Jr., Elizabeth's experiences with him and his team, and what it means) muddy the waters of health freedom, and how reconnecting with nature’s rhythms — bees, herbs, terrain, community — is the original rebellious medicine.Look beyond the surface and discover what really supports your body, mind, and environment in a world of distraction and distraction’s design.

• Dr. Anna Sitkoff on Terrain-Supporting Mushrooms, Foundational Fungi, and The Ergothioneine Effect

  Dr. Anna Sitkoff is a naturopathic physician and herbalist whose clinical and personal journey has been guided by a deep relationship with medicinal mushrooms. In this episode, she shares how her early exposure to natural medicine—and a life-changing experience with her father’s cancer treatment—sparked a decade-long exploration into the world of fungi.Dr. Sitkoff unpacks the science and spirit of mushrooms: their role in restoring the body’s terrain through mitochondrial repair, gut balance, and nervous system regulation, how ergothioneine functions as a cellular protector, and why not all mushroom supplements are created equal. We also explore the intersection of psychedelics and healing, motherhood and mycology, and what it means to truly “become one with the mushroom.”If you’ve ever wondered how these ancient organisms support everything from detoxification to emotional resilience, this conversation offers a grounded, eye-opening look at the power of mushrooms to support the healing of both body and mind.Learn more about Dr. Anna at https://www.drannasitkoff.com/ and explore her line of medicinal mushrooms at https://lucidummedicinals.com/.Support Terrain Theory on Patreon!
