Leading Doctor Breaks Ranks on Food and Health

For decades, parents have been told a simple story about health:Follow the food pyramid.Trust the experts.Do what the doctor says.But what if some of those assumptions are wrong?In this powerful conversation, Adam Gibson sits down with Professor Ian Brighthope, one of Australia’s pioneers of nutritional and environmental medicine, to unpack a generational shift in how we think about food, immunity, and the role of doctors in our lives.Professor Brighthope helped establish the Australian College of Nutritional and Environmental Medicine (ACNEM) and has spent decades challenging conventional thinking about diet, chronic disease, and preventative health.In this interview, he shares why the next generation of parents may need to rethink what we put in our kids’ lunchboxes — and why nutrition may be the most powerful medicine we have.But the conversation goes deeper.Professor Brighthope was also one of the early medical voices who publicly questioned the rollout of COVID vaccines for children, advocating instead for a more cautious and evidence-based approach.That stance came at a personal and professional cost.Now approaching 80, he reflects on what it means to stand up against your own profession, how parents can navigate a medical system many no longer fully trust, and how families can reclaim responsibility for their own health.This is a thoughtful, practical and deeply honest conversation about raising healthy kids in a complicated world.In This Episode We Cover• Why many of our assumptions about “healthy food” are outdated• Simple ways to improve kids’ nutrition and immunity through diet• What actually belongs in a healthy school lunchbox• Why nutrient density matters more than calories• How modern food systems may be contributing to chronic illness• Why some doctors are beginning to rethink mainstream nutrition advice• Professor Brighthope’s controversial stance on COVID vaccines for children• Whether we can still trust the medical profession• A new way parents can interact with doctors and the health system• What it takes to speak truth when the pressure to stay silent is immense• Lessons from a lifetime spent challenging medical orthodoxyAbout Professor Ian BrighthopeProfessor Ian Brighthope is one of Australia’s pioneers in nutritional and environmental medicine.Originally trained in agricultural science before becoming a medical doctor, his work bridges human health, nutrition, and the environment.He is a founding figure behind the Australian College of Nutritional and Environmental Medicine (ACNEM) and has spent decades educating doctors about the role of nutrition in preventing disease.His work has helped shape a growing movement of practitioners focused on addressing the root causes of illness rather than simply treating symptoms.To learn more about Ian and his work, please visithttps://wowintl.org/

Ep 45Finding Your Superpower in Chaos - Jason Miles

E

In a world that feels increasingly unstable — politically, economically, socially — how do we not just survive… but thrive? In this episode, Adam Gibson sits down with Jason Miles to explore what uncertain times demand of us — and the hidden strength they can reveal. Before the conversation begins, Adam addresses the recent developments surrounding the Family Farm project. Of the four farms launched three years ago, three remain independently operational and producing food. One farm on the Sunshine Coast escalated into prolonged legal conflict and is now in liquidation. Rather than focusing on conflict, this episode looks at something deeper: • What setbacks teach us about leadership • Why freedom requires structure • How misalignment can quietly undermine vision • The danger of assuming reasonableness • How to rebuild wiser, not bitter The original vision behind the farms — regenerative food, fractional land ownership, community, kids connected to soil — worked. Families gathered. Food was produced. Ownership was real. But structure matters. Protection matters. Alignment matters. And in uncertain times, pressure doesn’t destroy character — it reveals it. This conversation is about discovering your superpower in chaos — the mindset, discipline and clarity that allow you to keep building when others retreat. Because uncertainty isn’t going away. The question is: who do we become in the midst of it?

Ep 41The Quiet Revolution No One Sees Coming

E

https://libertyspenders.com/ We all remember what it felt like during lockdowns — the masks, the mandates, the ridiculous rules that changed every week. But what hit me hardest was the day I stopped at a country bakery on my motorbike ride. I just wanted to grab a bite to eat, and a 15-year-old girl behind the counter told me I needed to wear a mask. Think about that — a teenager, paid a few bucks an hour to serve pies and coffee, suddenly forced to become the health police. She wasn’t paid to do that. She was coerced — just like every other small business in the country. During those years, local business became the gatekeepers for government policy — unpaid, unwilling, and often unknowingly enforcing something they didn’t believe in. And the threat of fines, shutdowns, and loss of income kept them silent. Let’s be honest: apart from the big corporates, most small businesses in Australia suffered terribly through that time. Many didn’t make it. But what if business could become the vehicle for change? What if those same small businesses that were coerced last time… became the united front that said, “Never again.” In this episode of The Uncoercible Family podcast, we’re talking with Liberty Spenders — a group out of the US who’ve identified a $5 trillion market of faith-based, conservative, freedom-loving consumers who are done supporting woke corporations. It’s the biggest niche market in modern history — and the greatest opportunity for small and medium businesses to align their values with their customers and prosper because of it. Imagine if, instead of being bullied into compliance, Aussie businesses banded together and became a powerful movement for freedom — a marketplace built on integrity, courage, and truth. Even if you’re not in business yourself, please share this episode. Because this — this could be the one line of defence that no one has talked about yet. The big shift we are all praying for in our country may not come from politics… it may come from business owners who choose to stand together.

Ep 40Turn Kid's Pocket Money into Precious Metal

E

What if your kids’ pocket money actually grew in value instead of disappearing on snacks and apps? That question hit me a few years ago — and led to a simple idea that’s now changing how Aussie families think about saving. I started paying my kids in real silver bullion coins for their chores and pocket money. Back then, silver was around $35–$40 an ounce. They tucked those coins into a money box… and a year later, those same coins were worth over $80 each — without lifting a finger. That’s when Silverstash was born — a simple way for families to help their kids start saving in real silver, not just numbers on a screen. In this episode, I sat down with PWQ parents James and Sarah Cervone who are now co-founders of Silverstash. They share - Why silver remains one of the most reliable forms of long-term value The pitfalls of buying silver in bulk (and how to avoid them) What it’s really like helping kids or grandkids build a monthly silver stash How Silverstash offers an easy, affordable way to have genuine 1oz silver coins delivered to your door each month and start your kids on their own wealth-building journey — for less than the cost of a coffee a day.

Ep 39mRNA in Meat? Glyphosate in Veggies? How One Aussie Farmer Is Helping Families Take Back Control

E

If you’ve ever looked at your grocery bill and thought, “Something’s not right here,” you’re not alone. Food prices have exploded, supermarket shelves are full of products we can’t pronounce, and the chemical load in our food system has quietly reached record levels. Now, with talk of mRNA vaccines entering the livestock supply, the need for families to reclaim their food sovereignty has never been greater. This week on the Parents With Questions / Uncoercible Family Podcast, I sit down with Jason Ryan, founder of Hillview Farms — a former corporate executive turned regenerative farmer — who’s proving that clean, ethical, local food is still possible when consumers and farmers reconnect. Before that, I share some difficult news in the podcast introduction about one of our Family Farm projects at Cambroon on the Sunshine Coast in Queensland. Despite being much loved by co-owners and well on the way to full production, the farm has been been undermined from within by a small group of individuals, resulting in its liquidation. It’s a heartbreaking loss, but also a wake-up call: the vision remains sound, the need remains urgent, and people like Jason are showing us a better way forward. In this powerful conversation, we unpack: - Why grass-fed beef is nutritionally and ethically superior to feedlot meat. - The hidden dangers of GMO crops, glyphosate, and synthetic farm chemicals. - The looming concern over mRNA technology in livestock — and how your family can avoid it. - How shorter supply chains mean fresher, safer, more affordable food. - The rise of local co-ops, farmers markets, and small-town grocers rebuilding real community resilience. Jason also reveals Hillview’s next big step — a community crowdfunding offer via Birchal.com to expand their retail hubs, delivery network, and even build eco-farm stays where families can see, touch, and taste where their food comes from. As Jason puts it: “Ditch the supermarkets. Buy from your local butcher, fruit and veg shop, or direct from the farm. It’s the simplest form of activism—and it might just save our health, our farmers, and our future.” Adam Gibson Founder — Parents With Questions Host - The Uncoercible Family podcast To learn more about ordering food through Hillview Farms, go to: www.hillviewfarms.com.au To learn more about the Hillview Farms investment offer, go to: https://www.birchal.com/company/hillview-farms

Ep 38Raising Emotionally Intelligent Kids in a Post-COVID, Digital World — Part 2 with Ros Nealon-Cook

E

This is Part Two of a deeply important conversation with Ros Nealon-Cook, ex-psychologist and fearless advocate for children’s mental health. In this wide-ranging episode, we dive into the foundations of emotional wellbeing — the stuff that’s so basic we often overlook it: sleep, movement, nutrition, play, laughter, and connection. Ros unpacks how these simple daily habits build true resilience and mental strength in our kids. She then introduces a practical emotional education framework known as the Zones of Regulation, helping parents and children alike tune into emotions, triggers, and stress in a language that’s simple, non-judgmental, and actually works at home. We also explore how families can begin healing the hidden trauma and division left over from the COVID years — a conversation that’s long overdue — and why processing collective shame and grief is key to moving forward. Other topics include: - How to raise courageous, emotionally literate kids in an age of fear and censorship - Ways to engage doctors and medical professionals and rebuild trust without blame or bitterness - The technology tsunami shaping our kids’ brains — plus real, workable family tech contracts to help your kids self-regulate their screen-time - The confronting reality of pornography’s impact on adolescent boys — and a surprising take on how to best address it positively Ros brings both compassion and clarity to one of the biggest issues facing parents today. This episode finishes on a note of hope, creativity, and practical optimism for rebuilding our kids’ emotional worlds — and our society — from the inside out.

Ep 37How to Build Wealth Without Losing Your Soul - Justin Pagotto

E

We all know that in times like these, financial sovereignty isn’t just a luxury — it’s survival. In a world that’s proven how easily we can be controlled through dependency — jobs, debt, the system — being truly Uncoercible starts with taking back control of your finances. But if you’re anything like me, you’ve probably found that most financial advisors don’t get it. They don’t see the bigger picture — the agendas, the manipulation, the risks ahead — and their advice often misses what really matters: your values, your purpose, your peace of mind. That’s why this week’s podcast is such a breath of fresh air. I sat down with Justin Pagotto from Jireh Financial, who is one of the few in the finance world who truly gets it. Justin combines practical financial wisdom with spiritual and emotional intelligence. He’s awake to what’s happening in the world, but he also knows that money is meant to serve your soul — not the other way around. In this episode, we dive deep into some of the global economic threats and how to prepare for them, plus explore some practical pathways to aligning your wealth plan with your values and life purpose. How debt = control. “The borrower is slave to the lender.” How to reduce coercion risk quickly. The bond market time-bomb. What a spike in bond yields could do to rates — and your mortgage. Gold & silver (the real stuff). Why central banks are hoarding, and how families can hold outside the system. Diversify like Solomon. “Spread your money to seven or eight” — the practical, modern version. 7 streams of income. Why relying on a single wage is the riskiest play in 2025. End self-sabotage. The five traps killing momentum: lack of vision, focus, discipline, execution, consistency — and how to beat them. True prosperity. The Hebrew meaning: peace, wholeness, and wellbeing in every area of life — not just a bigger bank balance. If you’ve ever felt alienated or disillusioned by the mainstream financial world — this conversation is for you. Justin's website and contact details: https://jirehfinancial.com.au/

Ep 35From fear to freedom: A psychologist’s take on our kids

E

In this powerful conversation, Adam Gibson sits down with Ros Nealon-Cook, the first Australian psychologist to publicly speak out against the COVID narrative back in 2020–21. Ros shares her personal story of losing her psychology registration for doing what every parent instinctively knows is right—speaking up to protect children from harm. Together, Adam and Ros unpack what really went on behind the fear campaigns, lockdowns and professional gag orders that silenced so many voices of reason. Drawing on decades of psychological insight, Ros explains how fear literally hijacks the human brain, shutting down critical thinking and driving good people to conform with the herd. She breaks down the mechanics of group psychology, attachment to authority, and how governments used behavioural “nudge units” to manipulate the public into compliance. Most powerfully, she reveals how this collective trauma has affected our children—the so-called “COVID kindies”—and why so many kids today are struggling to regulate their emotions, focus, and trust the world around them. Adam and Ros move the discussion toward healing—starting with psycho-education for parents and kids. From her simple “Red Beast / White Rabbit” model for teaching self-regulation, to the deeper work of raising emotionally whole boys and rebuilding community outside captured systems, this episode is full of practical tools and profound hope. It’s a must-listen for any parent determined to raise resilient, critically-thinking kids in a post-COVID world.

Ep 33The Final Call: What the TGA Reversal Really Means—and What We Must Do Now

E

To connect with our guest psychologist Lindsay Spencer-Mathews, go to https://greatchangemaker.com.au/ In this deeply reflective and emotionally charged episode, Adam Gibson reunites with psychologist and long-time ally Lindsay Spencer-Matthews to unpack a momentous but underreported shift: the TGA’s updated advice quietly walking back COVID vaccines for children under 18, stating that the risks now outweigh the benefitsFor those of us who fought, spoke out, and paid the price for questioning this agenda—this is the moment we’ve waited for. But it’s not the time for revenge. It’s the time to act strategically, compassionately, and effectively. We discuss: •The emotional toll of speaking truth during a time of mass delusion •Why doctors and pharmacists still don’t know the advice has changed •A practical final action: sending a respectful, curiosity-based letter to your GP or pharmacist •The psychology of belief, and how to truly reach people •Healing the dissident community and putting down the sword—for good This is the full stop we’ve been craving. But we have to deliver it wisely. Letters, not rage. Curiosity, not confrontation. Heres how you can take action with us: Step 1: Download and Print the Attached Letters Letter to Doctor Letter to Pharmacist They have been written by respected psychologist Lindsay Spencer-Matthews, and carefully worded to invite conversation, not conflict. Step 2: Mail It! (Yes, snail mail) Look up your local GP and/or pharmacist, then handwrite the envelope: Dr. [Name] Mark it "Private & Confidential" (this helps ensure it will get opened by the right person) Sign it in ink - no digital signatures. Remember, you are simply asking respectful questions about an official statement - so there is no risk of blowback on you. Step 3: Share the Mission If every PWQ supporter sends one letter? That’s 30,000 doctors and pharmacists who will think twice before jabbing another child (or even an adult) If you send five, that’s 150,000. And forward this to ask five friends to do the same? Considering there are only around 130,000 medical doctors and specialists in Australia, we’ll become a force that cannot be ignored. And finally, if you are part of a freedom based community group, a social media circle, or even a school P&F committee member, please ask them to help you circulate this message. 7 Big Takeaways From This Episode 1.The TGA Has Quietly Reversed Course on COVID Vaccines for Kids The official advice now states the risks outweigh the benefits for those under 18—but few doctors and pharmacists even know this. 2.The Fight Isn’t Over Until Action is Taken Without public visibility, kids may still be getting these injections daily. This is our opportunity to stop it cold. 3.Letters Can Be More Powerful Than Protests A printed, respectfully worded, hand-signed letter sent directly to a doctor or pharmacist can bypass defensiveness and open real dialogue. 4.Anger is Understandable—But Not Effective This is the time for grace and strategy, not vengeance. Letting rage lead now may cost us the final victory. 5.Most Professionals Still Haven’t Processed Their Own Cognitive Dissonance Doctors were trained for compliance, not curiosity. The TGA’s reversal gives them an “off-ramp” from the narrative, but we must offer it gently. 6.This May Be the Moment to Finally Heal Many in the dissident community are experiencing battle fatigue. This campaign offers closure—and a bridge to the next chapter. 7.Your Voice Still Matters Whether it’s one letter or ten, your action could protect a child, shift a professional’s mindset, or close this dark chapter with dignity.

Ep 32How to Use Your Super Fund to Save Tax (Post Election Update)

E

For your 30 min FREE consult with Chris Jahn to discuss SMSF and if its right for you, go to http://www.jahnsuper.com.au/ Here's what you will learn in this episode: The “Unrealised Gains” Tax is a Real Threat… But Not for Everyone (Yet) The new proposal to tax unrealised gains on super balances over $3 million has spooked many—especially farmers and landowners. But Chris clarifies that this only applies to individuals with $3M+ in super ($6M per couple), meaning most Aussies aren’t immediately affected. Still, the principle of changing the rules mid-game has created deep distrust in the system. 9 Out of 10 Aussies Are Missing Major Tax-Saving Strategies Chris sees firsthand that most Australians are leaving tens or even hundreds of thousands of dollars on the table by not using available super tax strategies. Examples include: Personal deductible contributions Catch-up concessional contributions from previous 5 years Recontribution strategies to reduce death benefits tax Financially Savvy Clients Are Exploiting These 7 Underused Strategies Chris outlined seven proven (but underutilized) tax strategies: Personal concessional contributions (17%–32% return via tax savings) Catch-up of unused concessional caps (up to 5 years back) Non-concessional contributions (up to $120K/year or $360K over 3 years) Starting a pension phase at 60 (to make super income tax-free) Re-contribution strategy (to minimize tax for beneficiaries) Splitting super contributions with a spouse (get earlier access) Transition to Retirement strategy (drawing tax-free while still working) Most Accountants Are Gagged from Giving Super Advice Due to over-regulation, accountants are banned from giving advice on super contributions—even basic tips like, “You should contribute $10K before EOFY.” With only ~15,000 financial advisors servicing 10 million working Australians (and many charging steep fees), the average Aussie is flying blind—disempowered by design. Self-Managed Super Funds (SMSFs) Offer a “Financial Lifeboat” for the Awake Chris confirms that SMSFs still provide the most control, flexibility, and sovereignty, especially for those who want to: Avoid investing in BlackRock/Vanguard-aligned managed funds Allocate into hard assets like gold, silver, crypto, or farmland Align their money with their values in a rapidly shifting world Even with regulatory red tape, Chris says SMSFs remain one of the last legal strongholds of financial freedom in Australia.

The advice is general in nature and people will have to seek there own advice or advisors to ascertain if the strategies maybe applicable to them. Being a Super Fund accountant, Chris Jahn has a birds eye view on a lot of financial strategies that are presented to his clients from their advisors. In some cases they are spending $10-$15k per year on advice and Chris’s team are instructed by advisors to assist with the implementation of those strategies.
