From Chronic Illness to Quantum Health Practitioner: Chris Voutsas' (aka the MitoPapi) Healing Journey Through Faith, Light, and Biology 11/11/2025

From Chronic Illness to Quantum Health Practitioner: Chris Voutsas' (aka the MitoPapi) Healing Journey Through Faith, Light, and Biology From medical system failure to functional health success—MitoPapi’s blueprint for healing and serving others with quantum-informed care and unwavering Faith In today’s episode, we sit down with Chris Voutsas (aka MitoPapi) — father, practitioner, and leading voice in circadian health and mitochondrial biology. We explore why modern healing must go beyond productivity and symptom management and into the deeper restoration of light, metabolism, nervous system regulation, cellular energy, and embodied resilience. This conversation bridges biology and spirit, unpacking how healing happens at the level of the cell, the nervous system, and the identity — especially for those who have walked through burnout, spiritual searching, or chronic survival states. In this episode you’ll hear about: Why mitochondria are the control center of energy, inflammation, mood, and adaptation The role of light, electrons, and circadian rhythms in cellular healing How stress patterns get stored in the body — even after belief systems change Why real restoration requires nervous system repair, not just mindset shifts The missing piece in most healing conversations: metabolic and cellular terrain How mothers, in particular, need nervous system capacity before they need “optimization” This is a science-backed, soul-aware conversation for anyone sensing that healing has to go deeper than protocols, productivity, or behavioral change.

After the Interview: Revisiting Gender Ideology & the Rise of Detransitioners 10/18/2025

Digital Indoctrination: Why Screens in Schools are the Frontline of a 40 Year Agenda (Untouchable Series) 10/17/2025

Digital Indoctrination: Why Screens in Schools are the Frontline of a 40 Year Agenda (Untouchable Series) In this powerful episode of The Rising Sovereign Podcast, veteran educators Andy Libson and John Klyczek (aka the Taoist Professor) expose the hidden agenda behind EdTech, AI in classrooms, and the increasing use of screens in schools. This isn’t just about education reform—it’s about decades of policy, profit, and psychological programming that parents were never meant to notice. If you’ve ever asked: Why is screen time exploding in schools? Why does “personalized learning” feel like surveillance? Where did all of this start? …this episode will answer those questions—and raise new ones. In This Episode, We Cover: The 40-year agenda behind digital education—from Project BEST to AI bots How Charlotte Iserbyt predicted today’s EdTech takeover Why teachers and students are now training the machines that will replace them The real purpose of standardized learning and digital compliance How AI, behavioral conditioning, and school-issued tech are reshaping childhood What we lose when children stop learning with their bodies, hands, and community Why the public education system isn’t broken—it’s functioning exactly as designed What parents can do to opt out and reclaim their child’s humanity What You’ll Unlock as a Paid Member The second half of this conversation is members-only, and it’s where the conversation goes from urgent… to transformational. We dig into the deep ideological roots of the EdTech movement—beyond political parties, past the culture wars, and straight into the philosophical reprogramming of childhood itself. 👇 Here’s a full preview of what’s behind the paywall: 👇 The Ideological Engine Behind EdTech John Klyczek peels back the layers behind today’s “progressive” education tools—revealing how both corporate technocrats and Marxist theorists helped create a system designed for behavioral compliance and central control. “The same psychological tools used for advertising and propaganda are now built into the classroom — only now they’re wrapped in social justice language.” He explains how critical pedagogy was co-opted, where equity now means automation, and liberation becomes algorithmic supervision. Cultural Division as a Feature, Not a Bug Andy and John show how identity politics are being used to splinter school communities—pitting parents and teachers against each other while the real agenda rolls forward: “These aren’t grassroots fights. They’re engineered distractions while the tech gets installed.” — Andy Libson The endless debates over curriculum language and policy are a smokescreen for deeper infrastructure of compliance. What’s Really at Stake: Human Will This isn’t just about EdTech—it’s about whether your child will grow up with the capacity to think at all. As AI anticipates every answer and every need, children stop developing the muscle of uncertainty. They are trained to consume truth, not discern it. “Once you surrender your will to a system, the system will gladly replace it.” — John Klyczek Building the Alternative: Reclaiming Childhood The episode closes with a clear call: don’t just opt out—reclaim what’s ancient and real. Nature-based learning Embodied play and exploration Storytelling and intergenerational wisdom Decision-making rooted in sovereignty and spirit “The alternative isn’t complicated. It’s ancient.” — John Klyczek “Sovereignty begins with the parent’s will—not the district’s policy.” — Andy Libson Listen to the Full Episode (Members Only) Unlock this full, uncensored conversation and get access to our full members archive. 👉 Want to Go Deeper?

Detransitioners, Parental Rights & Gender Ideology (Untouchable Series) Lawyer Martha Shoultz on the Ethics Crisis in Gender Medicine In this compelling and eye-opening conversation, Jay and J.D. Azovari sit down with Martha Shoultz, a lawyer, parent, and fierce advocate for families impacted by gender ideology and pediatric medical transition. As the Director of Transition Justice and Co-founder of Partners for Ethical Care, Martha brings an unfiltered, deeply experienced perspective to a subject many are too afraid to touch. Together, they explore the hidden costs of affirm-only care, the rise in detransitioners, and how parents are often sidelined in some of the most critical decisions of their child’s life. Martha shares real-world stories from her legal work—stories of families blindsided by school policies, medical professionals who operate without true informed consent, and young people who have been irrevocably harmed by rushed, unregulated gender interventions.

Whether you're a parent, teacher, healthcare provider, or just someone seeking truth in an age of confusion, this conversation offers clarity, courage, and direction. What You'll Learn in This Episode: Why rapid-onset gender dysphoria (ROGD) is often misunderstood—and how it's showing up in families across the U.S. How comorbid conditions like autism, trauma, anxiety, and chronic illness are frequently overlooked in youth with gender confusion. Why current “gender-affirming” models often bypass true mental health care and root-cause exploration. First-hand stories of detransitioners—and the shocking lack of medical accountability behind many of their experiences. How pornography, social media, and algorithms are weaponized against vulnerable kids, often without parental awareness. The role of nonprofits, school clinics, and pharma in pushing this ideology—even at the expense of children’s health and consent. Why legal accountability matters—and how Transition Justice is helping to set precedent through lawsuits. What you can do as a parent to protect your children, find support, and challenge harmful policies at the local level.

Listen Up- Freedom Finds Itself in 2025 07/04/2025

Listen Up- Freedom Finds Itself in 2025 From COVID-era hospitals to empowered parenting, one personal story of conscious resistance What happens when freedom is quietly taken, not forced away? In this episode, Jaydee dives deep into the nuanced world of health politics, sovereignty, and holistic parenting—especially in the wake of 2020’s shifting systems. She shares a personal story about interfacing with the hospital system during the intensity of COVID, revealing how insidious control can show up in moments of parental vulnerability. As we move through the 4th of July holiday, this conversation offers a timely invitation to reflect on what true freedom means—and how we can access and embody it in our lives and communities. We explore: 🌱 What sovereignty really means in today’s world 🧠 How medical systems can subtly undermine parental choices 👣 The importance of community support in reclaiming autonomy ❤️ Why love must come from conscious choice, not compliance Whether you're navigating health freedom, questioning authority, or simply seeking grounded support on your path to holistic parenting, this episode is for you. Key Takeaways from This Episode: Freedom isn’t static—it must be reclaimed again and again. Sovereignty can be subtly undermined by systems we’re taught to trust. Health politics post-2020 have revealed deep cracks in medical and governmental control. Parental choices in healthcare are often pressured and shaped by hidden hierarchies. Insidious rank shows up in everyday interactions—especially in institutional systems. Love must come from free will, not fear-based compliance. Community support is essential to navigate complex, often coercive systems. Trust in leadership has eroded, making self-trust and shared wisdom more vital than ever. Shared stories empower others to stand in their own sovereignty.
