Healing from the Inside Out: Nervous System-Based Care with Dr. Hamad Shirazi
What if the reason your body isn’t healing has nothing to do with effort, discipline, or doing more but everything to do with your nervous system?
In this episode of Beyond The Pills, we sit down with Dr. Hamad Shirazi, chiropractor, movement specialist, and nervous system educator, to explore why so many well-intentioned healing protocols fail and what actually creates lasting change in the body.
Dr. Shirazi shares how traditional approaches to fitness, chiropractic care, and even wellness can unintentionally keep people stuck in cycles of pain, burnout, and disconnection. When the nervous system is chronically dysregulated, the body prioritizes survival over healing—no matter how “healthy” your habits appear on the surface.
Through breathwork, embodiment, and nervous-system–first care, Dr. Shirazi introduces a radically compassionate model of healing—one that focuses less on fixing symptoms and more on restoring safety, presence, and connection within the body.
If you’ve tried “everything” and still feel disconnected, inflamed, exhausted, or stuck, this conversation offers a reframe that may finally make sense of your experience. You’ll learn why slowing down is not a setback, how listening to your body builds true resilience, and why healing isn’t something you force—but something you allow.
This episode is especially powerful for high performers, athletes, healthcare professionals, and anyone who has been conditioned to push through pain instead of understanding it.
Listen now to discover how nervous system regulation, intentional movement, and embodied awareness can transform the way you heal—physically, mentally, and emotionally.

Nature, Surrender, and the Medicine We Forgot We Had with Jared Pickard
What if the medicine we’re searching for isn’t found in a pill… but in nature, rhythm, and surrender?
In this powerful episode of Beyond The Pills, Josh Rimany sits down with Jared Pickard, co-founder of Be Here Farm & Nature, biodynamic farmer, wellness visionary, and creator of the Being Human self-mastery program. Together, they explore what it truly means to heal—body, mind, and spirit—by reconnecting with the natural rhythms of life.
Jared shares his extraordinary personal journey: from working on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange to walking away from Wall Street, immersing himself in biodynamic farming, and ultimately losing everything he had built in the devastating California wildfires of 2020. What emerged from the ashes wasn’t just loss—but clarity, purpose, and a completely unexpected calling.
Out of that fire was born Be Here Farm & Nature, a biodynamic skincare and wellness brand rooted in reverence for the land, seasonal rhythms, and energetic integrity. Jared recounts the surreal moment of evacuating with nothing but his family—and a single set of botanical oils that would later become the brand’s flagship product, the Summer Solstice Serum.
But this conversation goes far beyond skincare.
Josh and Jared dive deep into:
Why nature and connection may be the most powerful medicine of our time
How surrender—not force—often unlocks the next chapter of healing and purpose
The role of biorhythms, seasons, and coherence in physical and emotional health
Why modern life has pulled us out of alignment—and how to gently return
Rudolf Steiner’s teachings and the foundation of the Being Human program
Why clarity often comes after we stop trying to figure everything out

This episode is an invitation to slow down, listen more deeply, and remember what it means to be human in a world that has forgotten its rhythm.
If you’ve ever felt burned out, disconnected, or unsure why “doing all the right things” still isn’t working—this conversation may change the way you understand healing.
“Everyone has fires in their life. They’re just not always literal.”“You can’t heal what you’re disconnected from.”“Sometimes the most powerful choice is surrender.”

We’re living through a moment that many people can feel, but few can explain.
The world is shifting. Technology is accelerating. Old systems are cracking. And beneath it all, there’s a quiet question rising in the collective: What does it mean to be human now?
In Episode #110 of Beyond The Pills, Josh Rimany sits down with Oscar Di Montigny, founder of the Grateful Foundation, to explore the deeper layers of this global transition—through the lenses of consciousness, economy, healing, ethics, and human responsibility.
Oscar brings decades of experience from the worlds of finance, insurance, and executive leadership, paired with a rare ability to bridge science and spirituality, logic and intuition, innovation and soul. Together, they unpack why so many people feel disoriented today—and why that discomfort may actually be an invitation.
“Humans are not made for answers. Humans are made for questions.”This conversation moves beyond fear-based narratives about AI, disruption, and uncertainty and reframes the moment we’re in as a call for orientation over speed, meaning over information, and gratitude as a stabilizing force in an increasingly complex world.

“It’s not a matter of how fast we’re moving—it’s a matter of whether we know where we’re going.”

You’ll hear why:

Feeling the “shift” doesn’t mean something is wrong—it means you’re paying attention
True prosperity is not just economic, but human, relational, and ethical
Healing begins when we stop separating mind, body, spirit, and society
The future isn’t something to predict—it’s something to participate in consciously

“People may forget what we say and what we do—but they will never forget how we made them feel.”

If you’ve been sensing that something is changing—in healthcare, leadership, work, or life—this episode will help you name it, ground yourself in it, and move forward with clarity rather than fear.

This isn’t just a conversation. It’s an orientation.

Big Food, Bad Science, and the Metabolic Health Crisis No One Wants to Talk About
What if the biggest threats to our health aren’t a lack of discipline or motivation—but decades of flawed science, industry influence, and nutrition dogma?
In this eye-opening episode of Beyond The Pills, Josh Rimany sits down with Brian Sanders, health researcher, filmmaker, and founder of Sapien.org, for a bold conversation that challenges everything we’ve been told about food, fat, and human health.
Brian is best known as the creator of the documentary Food Lies, where he investigates the origins of modern nutrition guidelines and exposes how weak science, corporate interests, and misinformation helped shape what we eat—and why chronic disease, obesity, and metabolic dysfunction are now widespread. His work pulls back the curtain on how seed oils, processed foods, and misguided dietary advice became normalized despite mounting evidence of harm.
Through Sapien.org, Brian explores ancestral nutrition, metabolic health, circadian biology, and lifestyle design—helping people reconnect with the evolutionary principles that allowed humans to thrive for thousands of years. In this conversation, he and Josh examine how far modern life has drifted from our biological design, and why returning to real food and foundational lifestyle practices may be the key to restoring health.
Together, they explore:
The real science behind seed oils, saturated fat, and cholesterol
How nutrition research can be biased, misinterpreted, or driven by industry
Why metabolic disease continues to rise despite decades of “healthy” guidelines
The disconnect between ancestral diets and modern food systems
How aligning with our evolutionary biology can support long-term health

This episode goes beyond trends, prescriptions, and quick fixes to address the root causes of chronic illness. If you’ve ever felt confused by conflicting nutrition advice or questioned mainstream health narratives, this conversation will give you the clarity and courage to think differently.
This is not medical advice. It’s an invitation to question what you’ve been taught, reclaim personal responsibility, and pursue health beyond the pills.

Beyond The Pills with Kyle Brown: Redefining Health, Leadership, and Personal Responsibility
What happens when we stop searching for quick fixes and start taking responsibility for our health, our leadership, and our lives?
In this powerful episode of Beyond The Pills, we sit down with Kyle Brown for an honest, grounded conversation about what it truly means to heal, lead, and live with intention in a world obsessed with surface-level solutions. Kyle challenges the cultural fixation on pills, protocols, and external answers, and instead invites listeners into a deeper exploration of personal responsibility, self-awareness, and sustainable transformation.
Throughout the episode, Kyle emphasizes that real change doesn’t come from doing more, it comes from becoming more.
“You can’t outsource responsibility for your health and expect long-term results. At some point, ownership has to come back to you.”Together, we unpack how modern healthcare often treats symptoms while ignoring root causes and how that same pattern shows up in leadership, business, and life. Kyle shares why slowing down, listening to the body, and developing discernment are essential skills for anyone seeking longevity, clarity, and alignment.
“Most people are trying to optimize systems they don’t actually understand—starting with their own body.”This conversation goes beyond physical health into the inner work required for lasting growth. Kyle speaks candidly about identity, discipline, and the importance of building awareness before chasing performance.
“If you don’t understand yourself, no protocol in the world is going to save you.”

Listeners will walk away with a renewed perspective on what it means to lead from the inside out—recognizing that healing, leadership, and purpose are deeply interconnected.
Whether you’re a healthcare professional, leader, entrepreneur, or someone who knows there’s more to wellness than prescriptions and productivity hacks, this episode will challenge you to think differently and more deeply.

This episode is for you if you’re ready to:
Move beyond symptom-based solutions
Reclaim ownership of your health and leadership
Understand the connection between awareness, discipline, and transformation
Lead with clarity instead of control
Build a life rooted in responsibility, not dependency

Because true healing and true leadership has always been beyond the pills.
