There’s an ancient book left out of most Bibles that claims fallen angels fathered a race of giants before Noah’s flood, and most Christians have never read it. 

I grew up never hearing about Enoch, and once it fell into my lap, I couldn’t stop pulling at the thread. The tex...

Predictive programming: Has Hollywood been programming us by showing us “the future”?

Enemy of the State (1998) portrayed government surveillance. Fifteen years later, Edward Snowden’s disclosures revealed extensive real-world government surveillance programs.

That’s one of several examples I keep coming back to. They Live (1988) showed broadcast signals...

TikTok pulled my video on how American medicine was reshaped, and that reaction alone tells you this piece of history still makes somebody uncomfortable.

I'm a first-time homesteader, and the more I dug into old hospital photographs, the harder it was to ignore how much of an older approach to medicine was p...

The internet calls them grandma hobbies, but most of them were never hobbies at all.

Baking bread, canning, sewing, keeping chickens, making butter, drying herbs. These were everyday skills that stopped being passed down in the span of two generations, and now they're making a comeback at a time when people seem burned out by modern life.

I want to talk about why that's happening, and what we can actually learn from it instead of treating...

Old farmhouses were built to solve problems that new homes can’t handle… Is it a coincidence?

I live in a 75-year-old farmhouse with a root cellar, a giant pantry off the kitchen, and an old walk-in meat locker in the basement with all of its equipment still there. The more I learn about how older homes were designed, the more I realize how much the house itself used to do the work for the people inside.

A few years after Wilhelm Reich claimed he'd greened part of the Arizona desert, he was dead in a federal prison, and his publications were being destroyed under court order.

In late 1954, Wilhelm Reich took his cloudbuster into the Arizona desert to test whether it could reverse drought in the driest conditions he could find. What he claimed happened next is the part of the cloudbuster story that never gets told.

After building my own cloudbuster...

Seedless fruit is a scam, and we made it possible.

Seedless grapes, seedless watermelon, seedless citrus... almost every fruit at the grocery store has been bred to remove the one part that actually makes it a plant.

I only started noticing this when I went to buy grapevines for my garden and saw "seedless" listed as the top selling point on nearly every variety. Growing up, I would have picked seedless every time. Now I deliberately...

I've been making my house “dumb” again, and this episode is about why.

After bringing back an old television, building a physical DVD collection, and cutting off appliances that want an internet connection, I started looking more closely at what "smart home" actually means for your privacy.

In a 2017 FTC (Federal Trade Commission) case, Vizio's software was found to have tracked second-by-second viewing across roughly 11 million televisions. The tracking pulled information from cable boxes, external streaming devi...

The man who invented the cloudbuster died in a federal prison, and his research was burned, ordered by a US court.

His name was Wilhelm Reich, a physician and psychoanalyst who spent decades studying what he called orgone energy, a force he believed moved through living things and the atmosphere.

Reich designed arrays of hollow metal pipes connected to water and pointed them at the sky. He claimed they could shift atmospheric conditions, dissipate clouds, and...

Most people blame bad luck for infertility, but the research keeps pointing somewhere else entirely.

Let's explore what I’ve been reading about the modern fertility crisis, and why so many people around me are struggling to conceive. I'm not a doctor, and none of this is medical advice. It's a walk through the research in relation to what I'm observing in my own life.

Endocrine-disrupting chemicals like BPA and phthalates keep coming up in reproductive re...

Did dragons actually exist, or has history been rewritten to make sure you never ask?

In this episode, I share what I found in old books, Latin dictionaries, and dragon artwork, and outline why those sources contradict what we learned in school.

A 1946 dictionary defined dragons as "now rare". My 1700s Latin dictionary lists female dragons, water dragons, and baby dragons as if they were distinct animals. Medieval manuscripts placed dragons next to elephants and wolves...

Electroculture gardening sounds ridiculous… until you stick copper into your own garden bed and watch what happens next.

After five years of growing blackberries on the homestead, this year's harvest has been the most abundant I've ever had, and it lined up with the season I loaded that bed with copper wire and antennas.

Electroculture is the practice of placing copper stakes, wires, and antennas in the garden to interact with the natural electricity in the at...

Fear got a lot of people into homesteading, and it's the exact reason most of them are walking away.

Five years ago, homesteading felt like the beginning of a movement. Now Marketplace is full of chicken coops, freeze dryers, incubators, and canning supplies, and I've been noticing the shift.

People who once posted daily about their gardens haven't planted one this year. Some are openly saying they're done. Others have moved on without much explanation. That...

Your clothes and bed sheets touch your skin more than almost anything else, so why have we stopped asking what they're made of? 

For thousands of years, clothing came straight from nature: linen from flax, cotton from the plant, wool from sheep.

In the last century, synthetic fibers like polyester, spandex, and acrylic took over our closets, and most of us have never stopped to ask what that shift might be doing to us.

We’ve become so disconnected from our food that new generations don’t even know where it comes from. We need to do something about it.

I'm a first-time homesteader who spent most of my life buying tomatoes instead of growing them, and this episode is the honest reckoning I had once I started putting seeds in the ground.

Two generations ago, gardens weren't a hobby or a lifestyle. They were a basic household skill, right alon...

The most radical thing you can do in today's home isn't buying the newest device. It's refusing to.

Returning to a '90s household is about noticing how much ownership we've handed over to streaming services, smart devices, and cloud servers without realizing it.

As a first-time homesteader, I've spent years learning to stop depending on grocery stores. Lately, I've been applying that same thinking to the technology inside my home, and it started with one...

Butter sat at the center of nearly every kitchen for thousands of years. Then within a few decades, people were afraid to eat it.

I'm a first-time homesteader following in the footsteps of my great-grandparents, and butter is now a daily staple in my kitchen after years of believing it was unhealthy. The shift in how I see it didn't come from a study. It came from paying attention.

My great-grandmother milked her own cow and...

Most people will spend 20 minutes reading the back of a cracker box but have never once flipped over the shampoo bottle sitting in their shower.

That gap between how we treat food and how we treat everyday personal care products is what I want to dig into in this episode. Shampoo, body wash, lotion, deodorant, laundry detergent. These are products most of us use every single day for years without ever asking what's actually in them or why.

The version of milk most people grew up with is not the version nature made, and the difference matters more than people think.

I've been drinking raw milk for five or six years, starting with a weekly drop-off from a farm four hours away, then driving 90 minutes each week to get it, then raising my own Jersey cow, and now milking my own dairy goats and sheep.

Most people only know the gallon jug version of...

Are you sure sunscreen is the go-to solution for your body during the summer?

The sunscreen conversation has become so loud that most people never stop to ask what's actually happening to their skin in the summer. I think we've been pointing at the wrong target for years.

A couple of years ago, my research into sunscreen ingredients got me censored on social media and called a liar by a major outlet that later had to...

Starting the homestead lifestyle is easier than most people think.

Somewhere along the way, we got sold the idea that homesteading requires acres of land, a farmhouse, and cows at sunrise. It doesn't. The version most people never hear about starts in a kitchen, with a mason jar and a bag of scraps you were going to throw away.

So many of us feel a pull toward a slower way of living right now, and there...

Why has the tick population increased so much lately? And what does it have to do with diseases like Alpha-gal syndrome?

I keep getting messages asking what I do about ticks on my homestead, and the more I look into this topic, the stranger it gets. Farmers say tick pressure is worse than they've ever seen. Hunters are pulling shocking numbers off of deer. Families find them on their kids after a few minutes outside.

The more I tested what AI would and wouldn't answer, the more I realized something was being shaped on the other end of every question.

Artificial intelligence has woven itself into daily life so subtly that almost nobody stops to ask what they're actually paying with.

I started testing the limits of what these systems will answer, and the patterns I noticed shifted how I think about every interaction. Certain narratives get pushed, while others get...

Once you start hearing what former GATE students actually remember, the official explanation stops making sense.

The official story about the GATE program is that it identified academically gifted kids and gave them harder work. The accounts I'm hearing from people who actually went through it tell a different story.

Across decades and unrelated school districts, former GATE students keep describing the same details: Pattern recognition cards, headphones in closets, an older woman called "Grandma"...

Garlic is more powerful than most people think.

I use garlic across my homestead in ways that go against almost everything mainstream pet care, gardening advice, and livestock guidance recommend. I feed it to my dogs in measured amounts during tick season, spray it on my berries, ferment it in raw honey, and recently cleared mastitis in one of my goats in three days without antibiotics.

This episode covers the dog dosage chart by weight, the garlic spray ratio for gardens, the honey ferment process step by step, a...

Some historical events have been hiding dark secrets.

Between 1854 and 1929, more than 200,000 children were loaded onto trains and shipped across the United States. The deeper I went into the records, the less the official story held up. Many of these children were not orphans. Some had living parents; Some were taken because of poverty; Some just vanished into a system with almost no oversight at all.

Once I started looking at what else was happening...

Women trust pap smears, mammograms, skincare labels, and feminine hygiene products without question. The full risk and ingredient information rarely makes it into the conversation.

I uncover five areas of women's health where transparency is seriously lacking. Gynecological tools are sterilized with a known carcinogen. Cumulative mammogram radiation is seldom mentioned by doctors. Skincare routines layer over a hundred synthetic compounds onto your skin before breakfast. Chlorine-bleached fibers sit against permeable tissue for days each month during menstruation. And the...

What if the plant you’ve been taught to destroy is actually one of the most useful things growing in your yard?

I’ve started looking at dandelions in a completely different way since living closer to the land, and that shift has changed how I think about natural medicine and self-sufficiency. When something grows this abundantly without intervention, it raises a real question about whether the issue is the plant or how we’ve been taught to see it.

Not believing in conventional systems led me to homesteading.

I’ve been thinking about what it means to live a life that isn’t fragile, and why so many of us feel pulled toward self-sufficiency right now. This is me slowing things down and reintroducing myself in a way that actually reflects where I’m at, because this space has grown and I’ve grown with it.

I’ve spent nearly a decade learning homesteading, and what matters most to me now...

Are you looking for natural flea and tick prevention for dogs without relying on toxic pesticides? In this episode of the Gubba Homestead Podcast, we break down the “terrain” approach to naturally repelling fleas and ticks by strengthening your dog from the inside out.

Instead of focusing only on killing parasites, we dive into how a raw diet for dogs, immune health, skin barrier support, and environmental management can make your pet less attractive to fleas and ticks in the first place. You’ll learn how to use garlic for dogs safely, why the fear around garlic is bas...

In this episode of the Gubba Podcast, Gubba explores homesteading not as a trend or aesthetic, but as a deeply regulating way of life that restores calm, resilience, and health at a nervous-system level. If modern life has left you anxious, overstimulated, or disconnected, this conversation explains why working with your hands, tending animals, growing food, and living seasonally can feel grounding almost immediately.

We dive into how traditional living provides the body with signals it recognizes instinctively—rhythm, effort, completion, and rest. These cues help calm chronic stress, improve sleep and digestion, stabilize emotions, and restore a...

Discover the hidden connections between your mouth and your overall health in this eye-opening episode of the Gubba Podcast: Root Canals, Meridians, and Chronic Illness: What Dentistry Isn’t Telling You About Whole-Body Health.

Join me as we explore natural living, prepping, and self-reliance, and dive deep into a topic I have pondered for years: the potential long-term effects of root canals on systemic wellness. This isn't about fear, it's about awareness, asking better questions, and recognizing how conventional dentistry often treats teeth as isolated parts rather than integral to the body's interconnected systems.

What does regenerative homesteading actually look like when you don’t have acres of land? In this episode, we break down how to build a regenerative homestead anywhere you live, whether you’re in an apartment, rental, suburban yard, or on acreage.

We cover how to build living soil without tilling, cycle nutrients instead of throwing them away, and create food systems that improve year after year. You’ll learn practical ways to work with the land you have using compost, fermented kitchen scraps, mulch, perennials, and intentional garden design.

This episode also dives into how an...

In this episode of the Gubba Podcast, we explore one of the most controversial conversations on the internet: dragons versus dinosaurs. This topic is often dismissed or mocked, not because it lacks evidence, but because it challenges long held assumptions about history, creation, and how we interpret the past.

We walk through why ancient civilizations across the world recorded dragons with striking consistency, while no ancient culture ever recorded dinosaurs. From Europe and China to Africa and the Americas, dragons appear in historical records, religious texts, and early natural history writings as real, dangerous creatures that existed...

For generations, families relied on traditional remedies to care for everyday health long before prescriptions became the first response. From coughs and sleep issues to digestion and skin care, these natural approaches were not trends. They were practical tools passed down because they worked.

In this episode of the Gubba Podcast, we explore why natural remedies gradually disappeared from everyday life, how modern medicine became centralized and pharmaceutical driven, and why so many people are now returning to the knowledge their grandmas once trusted. We talk about the historical shift that labeled home remedies as quackery, the...

In this episode of the Gubba Podcast, we explore a controversial and rarely examined theory: that key biblical events may have taken place in what we now call Utah, and that modern maps may not tell the full story of ancient history. By looking closely at geography, water systems, place names, and historical patterns, we compare biblical descriptions of Judea, Jerusalem, and the Jordan River with striking similarities found in the Utah landscape.

This episode examines why certain biblical place names cluster in the American West, how sacred geography may have been relocated over time, and why...

In this episode, we dive into one of the most natural ways to nourish your health: eating seasonally. Our ancestors didn’t count calories or track macros — they simply ate what the land provided, when it provided it. Modern science now confirms that our gut microbiome, hormones, and immune system thrive when we follow nature’s rhythm.

You’ll learn how seasonal foods cleanse in spring, hydrate in summer, ground in fall, and restore in winter — and why eating locally strengthens both your gut and your connection to the land.

When we eat this way, digestion...

In this episode of the Gubba Podcast, we dive deep into the hidden history of bells, cathedrals, and organs, not as simple instruments of worship, but as powerful tools of healing and resonance. 

Were bells tuned to frequencies that harmonized the human body? Did Gothic cathedrals serve as massive energy chambers, amplifying sound for public health? And why, during the world wars, were countless bells dismantled and melted down under the guise of “ammunition”?

From the lost frequencies of 432 Hz to the destruction of monumental pipe organs and the silencing of towers that once rang acros...
