Russell Carter, the founder of Heartland Elderberry Farms, shares the benefits of elderberry syrup and the dirty secrets of the industry.

Russell and his wife built Heartland from the ground up as a direct challenge to the billion-dollar industry—offering a pure, five-ingredient elderberry syrup with no added water or fillers, where 80% of every bottle is cold-pressed elderberry juice from their own Midwest farm, plus raw honey from their beehives.

Water is the most important nutrient and yet people tend to choose the worst source of it. Cydian Kauffman from Pure Water Northwest attacks this topic with laboratory analysis and logic to customize a treatment plant specific his customers needs. In this episode we discuss the various water challenges that we all have and what what can be done about it. Join us for the fun and even controversial discussion that covers everything from scams to medical freedom and even the fluoridated water debate.
