Healing The Source Podcast
Oliver Amdrup-Chamby is back for his third conversation on Healing The Source, and this time we're going deeper. As co-founder and CEO of Puori, Oliver has spent 15 years building the case that supplement transparency isn't a marketing strategy, it's a baseline obligation. Now, with California's SB 1033 moving through the legislature and two major category studies confirming what he's been saying for years, the rest of the industry is being forced to catch up. We get into the bill itself, what it actually requires, why the supplement industry's largest trade association is fighting it, and...

Your chronic sinusitis, brain fog, hormonal dysfunction, and fatigue may all have the same root cause — and your doctor has probably never mentioned it. Dr. Donald Dennis is a board-certified ENT surgeon who had his "mold epiphany" after a patient returned from a beach vacation with her nasal polyps completely resolved. He traced it to one thing: two weeks in a mold-free environment. What followed was decades of research connecting mold and mycotoxins to pituitary damage, cognitive decline, hormonal disruption, gut compromise, and chronic illness that the conventional medical system...

She’s a leading voice in the clean clothing movement, helping consumers understand the hidden health risks in modern apparel and pushing for transparency in an industry with very little regulation.

I’m talking about something we’re rarely allowed to admit: I don’t care about everything anymore, and choosing that has made me healthier. We’ve been taught that being a “good person” means emotionally absorbing every crisis, headline, and injustice. The result is empathy fatigue, chronic stress, and nervous systems that never get a chance to reset. I unpack why carrying the emotional weight of the world isn’t empathy, it’s ego. Why caring beyond your ability to act is psychologically irrational. How doomscrolling and outrage culture are draining our mental and physical health....

For a long time, I believed I was waking up and "exiting the matrix." I was involved in New Age spirituality, including astrology, human design, manifestation, psychics, and wellness spaces that promised healing, empowerment, and answers. When I was chronically ill, exhausted, anxious, and desperate for relief, these beliefs felt comforting. They made me feel seen. They made me feel in control. They made me feel powerful. But something was off. In this solo episode, I share my personal journey out of New Age spirituality, including my experience with Medical Medium, psychic culture,...
