ABOUT THIS PODCAST 🔗
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.

Cancer is one of the most feared words in modern life, but fear is a terrible guide when you’re trying to make clear decisions. We walk through a different model that reframes cancer as a last-ditch healing response to injury, not a random genetic glitch. That shift changes everyth…

As a sound engineer in the 1980s and 90s, Andreas Kalcker learned how frequencies move people emotionally, and that led to bigger questions: if vibration can change mood and perception, what else is the body responding to that we never measure? These questions eventually led Dr. Ka…

A 34-year-old, with “great numbers” and clean imaging, has a widowmaker heart attack, and then recovers without the usual long-term medication stack. That story alone forces us to question what we really know about the heart. I sat down with chiropractor and functional medicine pra…

The scariest thing about cancer isn’t just the diagnosis, it’s how quickly the conversation narrows into a menu of “approved” attacks. I sit down with author and lecturer G. Edward Griffin, author of World Without Cancer (and The Creature From Jekyll Island), to widen that lens and…

One "out or range" lab value can feel like a flashing red light, even when you feel fine. I wrote a short “bedtime story” to show how that moment often turns into a very real medical cascade: confusing PDFs, weeks of waiting, fear-fueled searching, a “super low dose” pres…

Imagine slashing your health costs, choosing any doctor you trust, and seeing exactly where your money goes—without fighting bots to overturn a denial. That’s the promise of nonprofit healthcare bill sharing, and today we unpack how it works, who it’s for, and why it’s quietly chan…

What if the story we inherited about contagion was a hoax, and the tests we trust most don’t actually measure what we think they do? We open that door with a clear, evidence-focused tour through virology’s origins, the rise of molecular diagnostics, and the incentives that keep the…

A hospital can be a lifeline—or a labyrinth. When Lori Simpson’s husband entered with aspiration pneumonia, she expected a sputum culture, targeted antibiotics, and home care within days. Instead, she faced locked doors, ICU isolation, heavy sedation, DNR orders added at 3 a.m., an…

What if the most human moment of your life has been outsourced to a system that profits when you’re afraid? I sat down with obstetrician Dr. Stuart Fischbein and midwife Blyss Young to pull back the curtain on how birth moved from a normal, physiological process to a hospital-cente…

A wave of new listeners arrived, so we pulled back the curtain to reintroduce what we do, why we do it, and where we’re steering the show next year. After two decades in holistic health, we’ve learned that most people don’t need more tests or bigger supplement stacks—they need a cl…
