Deconstructing Conventional

Christian Elliot

Welcome to Deconstructing Conventional, a show fascinated by one simple question: How did we get here? How did what we call “conventional” come to earn that title? Is there a better way, and if so, what would it look like? This show is about deconstructing two things: Our individual biases, and the systems that run (or attempt to run) our everyday lives.
We do this deconstruction with an eye for where we can reconstruct something better that leads to flourishing societies, and robust physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual health. In short, this show is about questioning our assumptions and practicing systems-level thinking.
I’m your host, Christian Elliot, I’ll do my best to stay curious and humble. You do the same and we’re both bound to learn something. Welcome to the show. Prepare to have your thinking stretched.

Could mold be the hidden culprit behind your mysterious health symptoms? In this eye-opening conversation with Kim Rogers of Rogers Hood Apothecary, we dive deep into the often-overlooked world of mold illness and its devastating effects on health.
Kim shares her personal battle with black toxic mold (Aspergillus niger) poisoning that caused alarming symptoms including swollen eyes, severe brain fog, significant hair loss, and stubborn weight issues. After 18 years in the medical field, Kim discovered she was living in a mold-infested environment that was slowly destroying her health despite all her medical knowledge and training.
We explore the fascinating connection between our increasingly toxic modern environment and the body's vulnerability to mold colonization. As Kim explains, "We're all overly burdened," with environmental toxins creating the perfect storm for mold to thrive inside us. You'll discover why mold is part of nature's clean-up crew for toxicity and how an overburdened system becomes the perfect breeding ground for fungal overgrowth.
The conversation takes unexpected turns as we discuss how mold operates on a frequency level, creating what Kim calls a "mold hold" – a psychological attachment that can make people resistant to leaving moldy environments. "Parasites are controlling, and mold is brainwashing," she notes, describing how mold altered her husband's thinking despite clear evidence of contamination.
Beyond just identifying the problem, Kim shares her comprehensive protocol for overcoming mold illness, from testing methods and remediation techniques to her multi-layered approach to detoxification. You'll learn about powerful biohacking tools including red light therapy, vibration plates, infrared saunas, binding agents, and even advanced therapies like hyperbaric oxygen and therapeutic plasma exchange.
Perhaps most fascinating is our exploration of functional mushrooms as healing allies against toxic mold. Kim explains how medicinal mushrooms operate at different, healing frequencies compared to pathogenic fungi – providing a window into a more holistic understanding of health beyond just chemical interactions.
Whether you've struggled with unexplained symptoms, lived in humid environments, or simply want to understand the invisible factors affecting your health, this conversation offers practical wisdom and hope for recovery. Join us for this deep dive into the complex world of mold illness and discover how addressing this hidden enemy might be the missing piece in your health puzzle.

Robert Yoho is a retired medical doctor of 41 years with experience in emergency medicine, general practice, and cosmetic surgery.
In this episode, Robert Yoho discusses the story of being "kicked in the head" by Peter Breggin during a podcast interview, and how Peter's kind challenge led to Robert turning his skeptical mind beyond medical corruption and into the ideological forces behind the weaponization of the medical system during covid.
We discuss how that awakening led to Robert's most recent book Cassandra's Memo about what seems at first to be a fantastically unbelievable, coordinated effort by unseen hands to establish a one-world government.
He discusses a few key turning points in his thinking such as:

  • Researching the mentality of psychopaths, how they act, and their real goals. Hint: It's not pretty and you're not weird if it seems completely unrelatable.
  • How the medical system was turned into contract killers.
  • Realizing that ALL vaccines kill more people than they save.
  • How censorship tips us off to what the real story is and where to find uncensored information.
  • Why "Climatology is even more bogus than medicine."
  • The invisible hands of the banking system and in what ways that too has been weaponized against us.

Then we get practical. talk about reasons to be hopeful, and discuss how to find your backbone.

CHRISTIAN WAS WRONG: In this episode, Christian inaccurately corrected Robert about a date. Robert was correct. It was 1986, not 1984 when President Reagan signed the National Childhood Immunization Act. Christian is a little sleep-deprived due to the cute, little three-week-old son waking him up at night. :)
