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.

Christian Elliot: Overcoming Fear - Embracing Power, Love, and Self-Discipline for a Life Free from Emotional Paralysis
Deconstructing Conventional
10/25/24 • 19 min
Have you ever wondered how fear can affect us? In today's episode, I unravel this complex emotion by exploring its impact on our mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual well-being. Drawing on my experiences as a health coach and minister, I share how understanding fear's role in our lives can be transformative. I look at fear as a warning signal, much like a check engine light, and discuss how it can disrupt rational thinking, leading to potentially irrational actions. Drawing insights from the Bible we highlight how overcoming fear is crucial for empowering physical and emotional healing.
I point out that God does not give us the spirit of fear, emphasizing instead the spirit of power, love, and self-discipline mentioned in 2 Timothy 1:7. I explore how scripture guides us from suffering to hope, teaching us to trust even in discomfort. Discover how this divine empowerment enables us to challenge falsehoods and embrace truth, offering practical tools to rise above fear. Join me on this bonus episode to harness a life grounded in power and fearlessness, embracing a spirit not defined by fear.

Jim Huntzicker: Becoming Unaddicted - The Unconventional Way to Beat Addiction
Deconstructing Conventional
08/18/23 • 55 min
What is an addictive personality? Are we born with it or nurtured into it?
How do we avoid the trap of breaking one bad habit by replacing it with another one?
How does one identify the REAL reasons behind addiction, and most importantly, how do we overcome them and replace them with good habits?
Jim Huntzicker is no stranger to addiction. He has successfully overcome NINE different addictive behaviors and now he helps people (men in particular) identify what's holding them back, address the root issue, and find freedom.
In this episode, Jim and Christian discuss:
- Jim's family of origin and how that led to his addictive tendencies.
- How swapping one addiction for another led Jim to gain over 60 lbs.
- The mental gymnastics and excuse loops people with addictions get stuck in.
- Why most conventional ways of overcoming addiction (like 12-step programs) don't work for the vast majority of people.
- Several stories of making men cry because they finally found someone who listened, understood, and asked questions.
- Abstinence vs moderation and how to know which is best for you.
- Why Jim had security called on him (and was thrown out of a doctor's office) for letting a doctor know what he REALLY thought?
- His recent journey to faith and how allowing God into his life changed everything.
Jim and Christian have a lot in common with their energy, passion, and perspective on coaching, and what it takes to create a breakthrough. That dynamic made for a fun and lively conversation we think you'll enjoy.
To learn more about Jim, visit his website, or follow him on Instagram.

Robert Yoho MD (Part 1): Stories and Lessons from His Book "Butchered by Healthcare"
Deconstructing Conventional
08/03/23 • 75 min
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 revelations behind his book Butchered by Healthcare.
In addition to his books, Robert is also a prolific writer at his Surviving Healthcare Substack. He writes about all things medical corruption and current events...and he pulls no punches in calling out his former profession.
In this episode, they discuss:
- The corporate capture of medical journals
- The scam that is the psychiatry industry
- The cancer industry and the shady way they make money
- Pharmas' little brother--the medical device industry
- The shocking motives behind routine screenings
- The nonsensical world of American dentistry and the poisonous dangers they inflict on about 100 million people every year.
- And much more
Christian asked Robert if he could turn back time would he still go into medicine, and if not, what route would he choose?
Finally, hear how all Robert has learned has simplified how he sees health now.

Robert GIVES AWAY his ebooks for free if you promise to send the download link to five or more others. Cassandra’s Memo ebook is HERE. Hormone Secrets and Butchered by "Healthcare" ebooks are HERE and HERE.
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. :)
“LEGAL” DISCLAIMER: Use this information at your own risk. It is general commentary and not medical advice. Robert Yoho is retired and no longer practices medicine. Make your healthcare decisions with the help
