Anti-science elitist new age garbage.

Your solutions for everything are supplements. What about life without supplements? What about the endocrine disruptors in essential oils? What in nature uses essential oils? Why the pro Trump stuff? The same warp speed guy who you think will be your “savior” I just don’t get it. How can you not see thru the political theater?

Both host and co-host are FANTASTIC! Love the topics!

Wonderful podcast with wealth of knowledge. Please consider a different cohost. So hard to listen to.

I love the information you get however I cannot listen to the females voice. She can’t help the pitch but she needs to slow down and stop saying “ummm”. We aren’t your college cheerleading friends, we are trying to gather information.

I love all the information in this podcast. For the love of everything Lauren, please stop saying "ummm" all the time. It's distracting from all the knowledge you have to share!! Thanks for this podcast, really appreciate the information!

Dr. Charlie and Nurse Lauren share their vast knowledge in such an easy to understand format. I have learned so much about all kinds of topics. They aren’t pushy or top heavy with what they share, they simply present the facts given by the data. Lauren’s training and experience as a nurse prior to her switch to a more wholistic viewpoint also plays into the information they share. She knows what it is like to listen to the “mainstream” and therefore is very forgiving in sharing with others who may also be in that stage of life and learning. You don’t know what you don’t know, until you know what you didn’t know is such a perfect summary to learning about health- and after listening to all the episodes I can say I now know a whole lot more and I feel more comfortable about each topic too.

forever a wealth of knowledge with these two! I always leave having learned so much and I'm so grateful for them sharing their knowledge with us.

I’ve learned some good information from the podcast and appreciate the education from these people, but they can be extremely out of touch sometimes and use terminology that your average lay person will absolutely not understand. Lauren seems sweet but she’s all over the place and disorganized when she speaks. She says people should take their own food to children’s birthday parties which is an absolutely ridiculous and rude piece of advice, unless you never want your kids to have friends again. These people seem to think everyone has millions of dollars just lying around to buy the copious amount of supplements and extremely fancy essential oils that they recommend, which are not at all cheap by the way. Overall, the podcast has some positive qualities but you should take everything they say with a very large grain of salt, unless you wanna be in debt forever from spending 100K on insanely expensive supplements and essential oils.

I think everyone would agree that it’s important to not blatantly lie on a public platform and state opinion as fact. This was shocking, particularly on the subject of vaccines. She does a great job of sounding reputable by citing red herrings where she will reference “studies” that are poorly conducted with severe limitations, low powered, and observational at best. This is no form of evidence and really discredits her. There are risks with everything, including recommended immunizations - albeit benefit outweighs risk significantly in this case. All in all, it comes from a place of extreme privilege to spew lies in the name of “health” and “wellness.” Infectious diseases are still the #1 cause of death WORLDWIDE, including infant mortality, and we are lucky enough to live in a developed country with the infrastructure and resources that have been able to nearly eradicate these. Business and “big pharma” has nothing to do with practicing medicine, and if you equate the two, it’s clear you have no basis or right to speak on the subject. Real providers hate the business of healthcare, again, she is just not reputable. Diet, exercise, and non-pharmacological approaches are extremely important and effective - I will give her that. Almost laughable, however, honestly more shameful to call herself a nurse practitioner, but I think she knows that :)

This is my go to for any questions I have about how to address my health or my child’s health in a natural way!

It has been so incredibly eye-opening to listen to Dr Charlie and nurse Lauren teach us about health and other options outside of pharmaceuticals. I appreciate their insight and the different topics that they review is so helpful to hear what can help and what they recommend especially not being close enough to go to see them in person.

I absolutely love this podcast! I listen in my car and am excited to drive places just to listen to more. I learn so much with each episode. I have started to keep a notebook with all that I learn and go back to the show notes constantly to add to my notes. I have been interested in holistic/functional/root-cause/etc health for a long time and Lauren and Charlie make it so easy to learn about and implement with their organization and real-life application. Thank you so much!

I wanted to update my review as my original one was pretty harsh, especially towards Nurse Lauren. I really appreciate her knowledge and experience, but my complaint was with the presentation of the information. However, I didn’t take into consideration that these were some of the first episodes and it can take time for podcast presenters to get their rhythm. In more recent podcasts I do feel like they’ve hit a great rhythm and I truly enjoy listening to them. I want to be a mom who lifts other moms up, and I was certainly not doing that in my previous review. So apologies to Lauren. She’s on a health journey that many of us are, who have been let down by conventional medicine and we’re looking for something better for ourselves and our family. Dr. Charlie and Nurse Lauren combined have a wealth of knowledge and experience, this podcast is a real gem if you are looking for something better for your health.

I would love to hear the studies and sources they get the recommendations from. Obviously they are learning from something they read as I don’t think there is much “holistic training”. I enjoy the info and it’s helpful! The quality of the podcast sound should be better and there should be more of a structure. Thank you for sharing this life changing information!

I can’t begin to describe how much practical information I have learned from this duo! I love the raw, honest and purposeful content they share.

I love listening to this podcast. I personally work in healthcare and I am in the middle of “waking up” it’s been extremely hard to realize everything you have been taught was Manipulated by big pharm ….. you meet incredible practitioners but they unfortunately are set up for failure and to confirm into the matrix. It’s been challenging to seek reliable info and trusting it’s not a sales pitch. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and expertise to help guide patients into REAL self reliance of their own health. Love listening to you both. I’d love to have some more 1:1 guidance on my own personal health one day. I need the help to continue my journey of health of within. Thank you for taking the time for us! ❤️‍🩹

I love your podcast! Thank you for all the great information, especially the herbs and supplements! My son recently fractured his wrist and he’s been through several rounds of X-rays. Is there a detox protocol for after X-rays. Other than the obvious immune boosting (Vit C and D ) supplements and calcium (with K2), is there anything else I can give him to promote bone healing? I have four boys and this is our first incident of bone issues. We are usually all about the stitches! Thanks - Emily

I always look forward to listening to the latest episode on this podcast. Great information and Dr Charlie explains things so well and honest. I really appreciate when they share what they are doing in their own lives with their families and what works for them. Definitely recommend listening if you are wanting to clean up your diet and lifestyle and better your life and your families.

How could detox from taking so many otc painkillers from autoimmune issues in the past? And how bad is it to take otc painkillers a couple times a week for joint/muscle pain? Thank you, this podcast is SO HELPFUL!!

Some of the content is really really great and I love those episodes and other parts are just cringe hyper conservative/conspiracy theorist vibes- which aren’t for me.

So much awesome information this podcast is a gem

So beneficial, thank you for all the great info!!!!!

Thank you so much for this information, please keep going!

Love what you bring to the table. As a Funct Health practitioner it’s good to hear more in depth correlation of body function, and your clinical pearls/ feedback. I learn more in every episode.

I’m so glad to have found a podcast of brave healthcare workers willing to speak on true wellness. I have binge listened since I found it :) Thank you for all you do!

I don’t always agree with your conclusions, but thank you for saying the hard and true things.

Some of the content is interesting and has some truth behind it, however, they lost me on the vaccines episode, particularly the 4th one. Guys, why do you think the numbers are so low now for measles and HIB? It’s because of vaccines! If we all stopped taking vaccines I guarantee numbers would go up. Also, suggesting home care for babies showing signs of illness like HIB is dangerous. Babies die from meningitis if you don’t get them critical care at a medical facility. As for COVID, it was really ridiculous to suggest that no one is having symptoms anymore. I know plenty of people who are still getting COVID and getting COVID symptoms. Have people died from the vaccine, yes. But they are inflating the incidence and risk of this.

I learned about this podcast from a holistic Facebook group that I’m in and I’m so glad that I did. I have learned so much and each podcast episode is full of valuable information to help improve overall health. Highly recommend!

I’ve loved every single episode until today…number 35. I just can’t with the f-bomb and all the foul language. I couldn’t finish the episode. I do hope this was a one time thing because I value your opinions and discussions on all the previous topics.

I love this podcast. They give reasons why something might be occurring in your body and then ways to fix it, links to products that have helped them, etc. They are not sponsored so there’s no pushy advertising or bias like some podcasts do. I would LOVE to see an episode on antibiotics and other options to try or if you absolutely have to go on an antibiotic treatment other things to do for the body while on the antibiotics. Thank you!

They fancy themselves skeptics but they lack the critical thinking ability to actually evaluate the evidence. Deleted.

Years of health issues that I was told I would just have to deal with or go on meds to manage. I’m finally starting to put the pieces together. Such great info.

I was looking for a podcast like this for years I’m glad these two came up with one! It’s taught me a ton and helped choose good brands! Thank you both so much!

Dr Charlie and Lauren- THANK you for your histamine episode. Well, all the episodes. I started Inspireacell 1 week ago and I can’t even begin to tell you how much it has helped. I was listening to this as I was mowing my lawn. Usually I am having to stop every few minutes to blow my nose, I have terrible allergies since moving to Texas. I haven’t taken my antishistamine for a few weeks. Today was the ultimate test - I didn’t have to stop to blow my nose once because of allergies. It all makes so much sense after listening to the histamine episode. Additionally , my cycles were so heavy x 4 months, painful ovulation- all signs of estrogen dominance. Not one provider checked my labs, but wanted to scope my uterus for cysts and I said no. After my cycle started this month with extremely heavy bleeding and clots , day 2 on Inspireacell- it all stopped! Normal period, no cramping, no clots. Nothing. I’m an CNP as well and y’all have changed my life for the better. Thank you thank you thank you!

I love both Lauren and Dr. Charlie!! They have opened my eyes to the holistic community and have truly made a difference in my life. They speak about the hard truths in todays world and offer steps into the right direction. Truly can’t say one bad thing about this podcast so disregard the negative comments because it isn’t easy talking about topics like these. Thank you Lauren and Dr. Charlie for all the hard work you have put into this podcast! God is lifting both of you up for speaking truth!!

I absolutely love dr Charlie. I agree with a lot of the other reviewers saying to stay on topic and especially that Lauren needs work. The ughhhhs and uuuuuummmmms are soooooooo annoying. Please take a public speaking class. The information provided from dr Charlie has literally changed my family’s life. I wish they had a few more options for free things to problem solving rather than spending so much on products. I subscribe to the membership and I think there’s even more information there. I love the lectures dr Charlie gives.

The information shared on this podcast empowers people to make changes in their life and provides answers to some long, standing health concerns which typical medicine has not been able to address. Thank you for sharing such important information and breaking it down for laypeople to understand!

I’ve been listening though all these and I appreciate real insight into issues my family and I deal with. Recommended supplements we’ve begun using are making a real difference too!!

I want to learn about this, but I cannot get past how unintelligent and what a horrible communicator Lauren is. I would disassociate.

She is unbearable. Adds zero useful information, just judgmental and preachy. I love all of the content but have to unfortunately unsubscribe.

I love this podcast! So grateful for them sharing this info. We’ve been making changes and have seen a difference.

I just started this journey of attempting to rid my home and family of all the junk and chemicals that have been normalized. My family has been struggling with different issues from gut health, mental health, physical health, etc. I’m fed up and decided it was time to do something about it. So through recommendations I found this podcast and have enjoyed all the episodes! I’m learning so much and feel better equipped to make changes for my families overall health! THANK YOU for taking the time to create these podcasts!!!

Listen & change your life!!! Cannot get enough of this!! Thank you so much! Dr Charlie is amazing, please stop interrupting him 🫶

I’ve been in the holistic health and wellness space for almost a decade, and I’ve still learned SO MUCH from Nurse Lauren and Dr. Charlie. I’ve listened to some of these multiple times because there is so much information. Thanks for all the work you do!

Dr Charlie starts making an excellent point with a good mic and good voice. Then the nurse interrupts him CONSTANTLY with a bad mic, bad manners and oftentimes irrelevant. 5 stars for Dr C and 0 stars for the NP. Divorce is God approved in this case.

Dr Charlie and Lauren talk a lot about “taboo” topics and bring them to light. I like that they provide resources into each topic. I feel like when I listen to them I actually have to think, as opposed to the other docs/ dentists just expect everyone to listen to them on blind faith. I do with the studies that are mentioned would be linked below or told where to find them so I could delve more into my research. But overall, love this podcast🔥

I really have learned so much from these 2. It’s a lot of information, so often I’ll listen to episodes over again. Took away a star for the cringey political comments. I’d really love if they could stick to factual medical information without muddying it with political opinion on social events. I would love to learn more about fertility and unexplained infertility and possible causes/ steps to take to work towards a healthy pregnancy.

I really enjoyed this podcast in the beginning. I feel like there is not a lot of knowledge in each episode, under researched, a lot of information repeated. Listening to other health podcasts with functional medicine doctors you can tell something is missing here. A lot of repeating the word ‘ugh’, interrupting, and generally annoying- mostly from Lauren. I think both had great intentions in the beginning and then just started throwing together weekly episodes without the time put in to developing them.

Thank you to Dr. Charlie and Lauren for the wealth of knowledge freely given to us. I have learned so much from this podcast. Incredible resource to start embarking on a true healing journey that doesn’t include big pharma. Western medicine goes where the money goes. Thankfully, there are people like the two behind this podcast who have done the extensive research to inform the general public on the healing behind herbs and Chinese medicine.
