In this episode, Jost and Leon delve into the intriguing shifts in human health perspectives, focusing on how viral invaders challenge our body's defenses and the role of the digestive tract in this dynamic.

Jost and Leon also discuss the boundaries of mental clarity and the unsettling shifts in reality perception, and share Chinese medicine insights into maintaining mental peace and physical health amid the chaos of the modern world.

Ep 67: Yin & Yang - Fire, Water, Duty & Feelings, Oceans of Memory, and the Dao of Diplomacy
What a time to be alive! Things are really heating up and in this episode Jost and Leon talk the topsy turvy topic of war and diplomacy, the observable - and rapid - increase in anger and outrage, and how these things link back to the mother of yin and yang: the Kidneys. The world is going through a massive shift, and navigating the rough seas of emotionality requires sure footing and a steadfast hold on reality (whatever that means).
Jost and Leon also discuss memories stored in the oceans, underwater UFOs, Godzilla, moving to Mars, and the repercussions of the 'yindemic'. Leon tries to explain exothermic core-mantle decoupling (perhaps not completely successfully) and why the Great Pyramid of Giza has water damage. As always our health is at the core of everything, and our Kidneys are responsible for stabilising our true nature. In a time when so many are losing their grip, it is now imperative to stick to our guns and be true to ourselves.

Ep 66: The Great Divide - Good vs Bad Health, Vigilance, Selfishness, the Shaolin Spirit, and Fighting without Fighting
In this episode, Jost and Leon navigate the great divide - the phenomenon that not only separates us politically, but that splinters us even further based on every issue imaginable. The biggest loser is our health, and this is where the battle is being fought whether we realise it or not.
Jost gets into the Taoist and Chinese medicine perspective on division and transformation, how they are inseparable from current events, and the organ that allows us to distinguish relevant issues with clarity before making decisions. Jost and Leon also discuss Bobby Kennedy Jr’s confirmation hearings and his face-off with Bernie Sanders, and what this confrontation represents in the bigger picture. Leon talks about a serendipitous discovery of JFK’s affinity for design and the symbol of hope his legacy left behind. Jost and Leon also chat about the dead internet theory, bomb-proof suits, the Shaolin way, and what happens when you mention the “T” word.
While it feels like we’re in a battle of good vs evil, it’s really a battle between good and ill health, so we now have to cultivate our personal health as a form of resistance against divisive forces. The great divide isn’t about picking sides, it’s about finding clarity in chaos.
