In the first half, pharmacist Ben Fuchs discussed natural health remedies and the vitamins, nutrients, and minerals that our bodies need to maintain good health. He highlighted the alarming prevalence of chronic degenerative diseases in Americans over 45, noting that "60% are suffering from two or more chronic degenerative diseases," and criticized the fragmented medical approach that treats body parts in isolation rather than as an integrated system. Fuchs stressed the central role of the digestive system, explaining, "All cell disease is preceded by dirty blood," and linked blood toxicity to a "leaky gut" as the starting point of many health issues.
Addressing hypertension, Fuchs challenged conventional medicine's approach, describing most cases as "essential hypertension," where high blood pressure is the body's attempt to compensate for poor blood circulation. He argued that simply lowering blood pressure with medication ignores the root cause: "The blood is sticky and sluggish and dirty." Instead, he recommended improving blood fluidity through hydration, enzymes, magnesium, and avoiding processed foods. He also touched on the social dimension of health, linking loneliness to immune suppression and chronic disease.
Fuchs reported that 80% of the standard American diet comes from ultra-processed foods. He advocated for intermittent fasting to reduce inflammation and even alleviate cancer symptoms. During calls, he addressed topics such as the health benefits of seeds and nuts, and the value of butyrate supplements for energy and well-being. He advised smokers seeking to quit to gargle with vitamin C and B-complex solutions after each cigarette to neutralize toxins and suggested supplements like vitamin E and NAC to soothe lungs.

In the latter half, Tarot expert and deck creator Sasha Graham spoke about the different uses of Tarot and why the cards have such an active hold on the world's imagination. She attributed the resurgence of their popularity to the pandemic and social media platforms like TikTok. "People sequestered in their homes…had an opportunity and free time on their hands to explore alternative spiritualities," she explained. Detailing Tarot's mysterious origins, she noted that the oldest known decks date back to 14th-century Italy, originally commissioned by wealthy families. Initially used as a card game, Tarot eventually evolved into a tool for divination.
Graham emphasized the importance of ethical Tarot reading, warning against intrusive or manipulative uses. She cautioned about the limitations of predictions, advocating for questions that empower rather than restrict, so that one could ask "What should I pay attention to to come into alignment with my highest romantic potential?" rather than "When am I going to fall in love?"
She highlighted Tarot's dual role in both predicting and creating realities, stating, "You can also pull cards intentionally, draw on that card's energy, and actively bring things into your life." She described Tarot as a "visual medium" where symbols speak directly to the soul, making it a powerful tool for magic and self-transformation. Speaking of her Tarot deck designs, she announced that she is working on a new project-- a "shadow deck" that would encourage people to look at the darker sides of their personality, which can be a springboard for potential and creativity. During the last hour, she gave Tarot readings for callers.
