Pharmaphobic ·

2025/10/21

In this week’s episode, we sit down with Dr. Ken Grey, Doctor of Oriental Medicine, to ask the big question we keep circling on this show. What would it look like if we truly put healing first? We get into why integrative care should not be an either or choice, how food sleep movement and mindset become pillars for real change, and why prevention and accountability matter more than ever.

Ep. 34 - Hidden in Plain Sight

Pharmaphobic ·

2025/10/14

Our anniversary started with dinner and music and somehow ended with a full conversation about the state of health in America. Janie breaks down the new rule requiring pharma ads to list every side effect again, something that should have never disappeared, while Dan calls out how billion-dollar marketing keeps people hooked on pills, processed foods, and promises that do not deliver. We pull back the curtain on the connection between big pharma and big food, why "healthy" labels rarely mean ...

Ep. 33 - Stronger From Within

Pharmaphobic ·

2025/10/07

We just moved into our new studio and we’re kicking things off by asking what it really means to be the strongest, healthiest, most capable versions of ourselves. We open up about our GI Map results and what they taught us about our guts, stress, and how our bodies are actually functioning. Dan shares why his liver and gallbladder need a little extra love and I talk about my late-day bloating and the supplements and lifestyle shifts I’m making to heal. We also get real about the GLP one conve...

Ep. 32 - Training Smarter in Our 40's

Pharmaphobic ·

2025/09/30

We start with a laugh about the DMV and reframe it into gratitude before diving into why we believe you have to know to grow. From CDC stats on chronic disease to our own shifts in training, we break down how fitness looks different in our 40s. We share how we still lift heavy with less volume, train full body three days a week, and pay attention to recovery and stress so we can keep feeling strong without burning out. We invite you to share your health wins with us—whether it’s better sleep,...

Ep. 31 - Choose Real Food

Pharmaphobic ·

2025/09/23

We hit record to remind ourselves why we are here and what we are building together. In this one we revisit our mission, laugh about Maggie Moo auditioning as our future gym doggo, and then get practical about what moves the needle for real health. We unpack an egg study in plain words, talk through nutrients like choline, lutein, K2 and why we eat the whole egg, and we call out study limitations so we all stay sharp. We share our own lesson on balancing protein and fat, how to pick cuts that...

Ep. 30 - Gut Check: What’s Your Body Telling You?

Pharmaphobic ·

2025/09/16

We switched up our routine and recorded on a Tuesday afternoon as we dug into two big experiments we are running on ourselves. We talk through why we both did GI MAP stool testing to see what our gut microbiome is really doing and how that can connect to mood, metabolism, parasites, and long term health. We also share why Dan finally did a sleep study after years of spotty nights and how we think about practical fixes like sleep hygiene, nasal breathing, mouth taping, magnesium glycinate and ...

Ep. 29 - Grounded in Real Food with Jake Engelen

Pharmaphobic ·

2025/09/09

We sit down with regenerative farmer Jake Engelen to get real about why health starts with soil. We talk about how sourcing shapes nutrition, why seasonal eating matters, and how rotational grazing with ruminants and chickens rebuilds land and nutrient density. We explore the biodiversity you can feel on a healthy farm, the difference you can taste in eggs, dairy, and produce, and the way convenience culture and chemicals creep into our kitchens and bodies. Jake shares his journey from the Ma...

Ep. 28 - Medically Broke

Pharmaphobic ·

2025/09/02

In this episode of Pharmaphobic we sit down for a health variety show Oprah style minus the Illuminati. We dig into the wild reality of medical debt, overpriced prescriptions and why our healthcare system feels more like sick care than true wellness. We talk about how healthcare has grown into the largest industry in America bigger than food bigger than defense and what that really means for us. We share our thoughts on why costs are so high, how the patent process keeps drug prices inflated ...

Ep. 27 - The Prescription Problem

Pharmaphobic ·

2025/08/26

In this episode of Pharmaphobic we dive into the reality that most Americans will spend nearly half their lives on prescription medications. We talk about how men are typically on prescriptions by age forty and women by age fifteen starting with birth control and antidepressants and how that often leads straight into polypharmacy. We share our perspective on the cycle of managing instead of solving health issues, the money driving Big Pharma and why side effects are really just effects that a...

2025/08/19

We are diving into one of the most common questions we get - how to naturally boost testosterone and when (or if) TRT makes sense. From military workouts and CrossFit burnout to overtraining, stress, poor sleep, and nutrition gaps, we share the habits that wreck your hormones and the smarter choices that can get them back on track. We also unpack fitness beliefs we once swore by but have since tossed out, the health habits that made the biggest difference in our lives, and the wellness trends...

Ep. 25 - The Food/Mood Connection

2025/08/12

In this episode of Pharmaphobic, we’re diving into something big—depression and how it connects to what we eat, how we move, who we’re around, and how we live. We’re not here to shame anyone for taking medication. We’ve both been there. But we are here to say that meds alone aren’t the only answer. We break down the serotonin myth, share real stories from our own lives including time in the military and during the chaos of COVID, and talk through research that challenges the whole chemical im...

Ep. 24 - Matching Outfits Matching Consequences

2025/08/05

In this episode of Pharmaphobic, we start with a peek behind the scenes at our morning wardrobe chaos. Apparently black camo is the new love language and Dan is convinced Janie is copying his fit. We laugh about our synchronized outfits and even our synchronized gut health but then we shift gears into a much more serious conversation. We talk about new CDC data showing one in three teenagers is prediabetic. That statistic shook us. We dive into how early these issues really begin, what our ki...

Ep. 23 - Eat Better, Feel Better

Pharmaphobic ·

2025/07/29

Hey guys, it’s Dan and Janie & we’re going down one of our favorite rabbit holes, nutrition. We’re unpacking why the gym is the easy part, and how what’s really holding people back from true health is happening in their kitchens, not their workouts. From strawberries that look like candy to seedless fruit, GMOs, food dye bans, and what we’re feeding our kids in school lunches, we’re talking about all of it. And yep, we’re getting into the connection between nutrition and ADHD too. If you’...

In this episode, we kick things off with a real convo about how social media messes with our dopamine, focus, and overall well-being. From no-social Sundays to falling down the doomscrolling rabbit hole, we talk about how tech overload chips away at our mental health - and why unplugging might be exactly what your brain needs. Then we dive into the rising obsession with GLP meds. We break down how they work, where the medical industry might be missing the mark, and why lifestyle changes still...

Pharmaphobic ·

2025/07/08

In this episode of Pharmaphobic, Dan and Janie discuss one of Hippocrates’ most powerful truths: “Everyone wants to heal until the medicine shows up in the form of discipline.” What starts as a quote quickly turns into a deeper look at why so many people chase hacks, aesthetics, and shortcuts—while avoiding the real work. They explore how extremes in fitness, food tracking, fasting, and even “clean eating” can spiral into dysfunction, and why sustainable health is about more than just motivat...

Pharmaphobic ·

What if the “healthy” food on your plate is actually fueling long-term illness? In this episode of Pharmaphobic, Dan and Janie unpack the dark history of glyphosate—better known as Roundup—and its shocking ties to rising cancer rates, autoimmune conditions, and even the turf under your kid’s soccer cleats. From Monsanto’s shady GMO game to Bayer’s billion-dollar buyout, this conversation exposes what’s really going on behind the “safe” labels we’ve been taught to trust. But it’s not all doom ...
