Beth of Fresh Air: Episode 10 - De-Cult Natural Health (Part 2)

De-Cult Natural Health (Part 2) With Guest Dagmar Stansova!Conventional medicine is failing louder than ever — and when people are scared, sick, and searching for answers, natural health cults rush in to fill the void.In Episode 10 of Beth of Fresh Air, With Guest Dagmar Stansova joining again, we continue dismantling the cult dynamics embedded in modern natural health culture by walking through a wide range of popular diets — highlighting where they do have merit, why they ultimately fail, and how they quietly hijack people’s health, intuition, and autonomy.This episode isn’t about attacking individuals.
