  • Potatoes - Hidden Dangers Lurking in Your Favorite Comfort Food

    Potatoes - Hidden Dangers Lurking in Your Favorite Comfort Food
    Aug 19 2025
    “Welcome back to Chasing Eden, the podcast where we rediscover what it means to eat like humans were designed to. I’m your host, Caroline Thompson. And today, we’re talking about one of the world’s most beloved—and misunderstood—foods: the potato.

    are comfort food. They’re mashed at Thanksgiving, fried at fast food chains, and hidden in the crispy edges of potato chips. But according to food archaeologist, chef, and author Dr. Bill Schindler, we’ve strayed far from the way our ancestors prepared and ate them.

    So today, I’m going to take you on a journey through the history of potatoes, the surprising dangers of eating the wrong kind—yes, even that green potato chip you may have crunched without thinking—why French fries can be toxic landmines when fried in seed oils, and how you can reclaim potatoes in your diet the way nature intended.

    We’ll also talk about how to grow your own, and a powerful biohack: how freezing cooked potatoes can blunt their glucose spike, making them healthier than you might imagine.If you’ve ever loved French fries—or feared them—this episode will blow your mind. Let’s dig in.”

    Anxiety, Genes, and the Methylation Puzzle: How 40% of the World Carries a Hidden Mutation

    “Welcome back to Chasing Eden, the show where we rediscover health and harmony through a mix of ancient wisdom and modern science. I’m your host, Caroline Thompson. Today, we’re tackling a hidden cause of anxiety that may be affecting you—or someone you love—without you even knowing. According to human biologist Gary Brecka, up to 40% of the world’s population carries a genetic mutation that impairs how their body processes folate. It’s called the MTHFR mutation, and it can lead to a condition known as methylation deficiency.

    Why does that matter? Because methylation touches almost every system in the body—from how you make neurotransmitters like serotonin and dopamine, to how you detoxify, to how calm or anxious you feel every single day. If you’ve struggled with unexplained anxiety, depression, brain fog, or fatigue… this episode could shine a light on the missing piece.

    We’ll discuss the symptoms, how to test for it, and, most importantly, what difference the right supplementation can make. So stay tuned—because by the end of this episode, you’ll understand how a tiny genetic change could have massive effects on your mood, your mind, and your life.”

    Aug 11 2025
    Today, we’re talking about two invisible forces that shape our health — one that gives life, and one that slowly steals it. We’ve been told to fear the sun, to hide from it… But what if the shade is where the real danger lurks? And what if, in our escape from light, we’ve trapped ourselves in environments that can make us sick?

  • Foundations and Fault Lines: Reclaiming Natural Healing in the Age of Allopathy

    Foundations and Fault Lines: Reclaiming Natural Healing in the Age of Allopathy
    Aug 11 2025
    On today’s episode, we’re stepping into a long-forgotten crossroads in history.

    We’ll trace the roots of Western allopathic medicine—and what it replaced. We’ll meet healers whose names rarely make the textbooks, learn their protocols, and explore how philanthro-capitalism—led by some of the wealthiest families in history—shifted healthcare from soulful healing into a system built on symptom management.
