67: These Secrets Hidden in Mainstream History Reveal A Dark Pattern May 05, 2026

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 in that same time period, I couldn't unsee it. Cities were burning down one after another. Insane asylums were being built in places that didn't have the population to fill them. World fairs were putting up massive Roman-style buildings in empty fields and tearing them back down a year later. Baby incubators were a paid public attraction with real infants on display.

I walk you through the orphan trains, the fires, the fairs, the asylums, the Cabbage Patch Kids, and a passage from the Book of Jasher that I genuinely could not stop thinking about. If a reset of history was happening, this is what it would look like.

You’ll Learn:

[00:00] Introduction

[02:03] Over 200,000 children were relocated with no real oversight, and many weren't even orphans

[04:42] The orphan trains weren't just an American phenomenon; it was happening worldwide

[07:02] The great city fires of the 1800s and the dynamite theory nobody talks about

[09:16] The world fair buildings that appeared overnight and were never supposed to exist

[13:12] Why live infants were displayed alongside machinery at world fairs

[19:17] Who were the insane asylums actually built for, and what happened to the people inside

[22:16] The Cabbage Patch Kids origin story might not be as innocent as it seems

[23:15] The ancient text that was left out of the Bible and what it says about children in fields

[28:05] What a global reset would actually look like, and whether we already lived through one

66: 5 Things Women Aren’t Told About Healthcare Products & Screening Tests Apr 28, 2026

Show notes

Check out my natural skincare products at Arvoti.com.

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 word "fragrance" legally conceals dozens of undisclosed toxic ingredients on a single label.

This is not about fear. It's about giving women the information to make real decisions. Understanding false positive rates, reading ingredient labels, and reducing chemical burden are practical steps anyone can take today.

Whether you're rethinking your skincare shelf, questioning a screening recommendation, or learning what "fragrance" actually means, this episode fills in what the system leaves out.

You’ll Learn:

[00:00] Introduction

[04:32] Ethylene oxide on pap smear instruments and what consent forms leave out

[07:24] How abnormal pap results can trigger a cascade of follow-up procedures

[12:13] Mammogram compression, cumulative radiation, and the overdiagnosis problem

[19:58] Why screening campaigns emphasize urgency over diagnostic nuance

[23:14] Endocrine-disrupting chemicals hiding in everyday skincare products

[29:20] Chlorine bleaching and the case for cleaner feminine hygiene products

[35:45] What the word "fragrance" legally conceals on ingredient labels

65: The Hidden Benefits of Dandelions & Why No One Knows About Them Apr 21, 2026

Show notes

Try my all-natural skincare, Arvoti.

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.

Reconnecting with homesteading practices has a way of challenging modern norms around lawns, food, and what we consider useful. Every part of the dandelion serves a purpose, from leaves that support digestion to roots and flowers that have been used traditionally in everyday life.

The deeper you dig, the harder it is to ignore how much we’ve been pulled away from our bodies, our food, and the natural systems around us. Simple practices like grounding, spending time outside, and paying attention to what naturally grows start to bring that connection back and reshape how you think about natural medicine.

Something as simple as a plant in your yard can change the way you see food, health, and the systems around you.

You’ll Learn:

[00:00] Introduction

[01:02] Who benefits from teaching us to hate dandelions

[07:26] Dandelions as essential bee forage, and the link to colony collapse

[10:24] Leaves, root, and flowers: what every part of the dandelion actually does for your body

[22:39] How the dandelion was rebranded as a weed, glyphosate's health concerns, and the delay-and-replace playbook

[29:05] The systemic pattern behind it all, and why questioning the dandelion leads to questioning everything

64: How & Why I Stopped Depending on Conventional Systems - My Homesteading Journey Apr 14, 2026

Show notes

Try my all-natural skincare, Arvoti.

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 is helping you see that you’re more capable than you’ve been led to believe. You don’t need to grow up this way to step into self-sufficiency.

It can start in your kitchen, with small shifts like cooking your own food and learning how to analyze ingredients. As you begin to question where your food comes from, it naturally expands into food independence, self-reliance, and even deeper curiosity about the systems around you.

That curiosity becomes a foundational part of your life. It’s the motivating factor to start prepping, thinking critically, and building a life that can actually support you when things shift.

Homesteading isn’t about perfection. It’s about starting, staying curious, and realizing you have more control than you’ve been led to believe.

You’ll Learn:

[00:00] Introduction

[02:08] Why Gubba homesteads and who this lifestyle is suitable for

[08:56] How the school system kills independent thinking and where that rabbit hole leads

[16:04] The Dr. Phil appearance that made people question everything about her

[19:39] Why Gubba stopped trusting big pharma, and started making her own skincare products

[24:03] The waking-up story she hadn't fully told yet, starting with raw milk

[32:56] How questioning everything led her to a truth she'll never un-see

63: Natural Flea and Tick Prevention for Dogs: The Terrain Approach Without Toxic Pesticides Mar 16, 2026

Show notes

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 based on a high-dose extract study, and how small, thoughtful amounts may support natural deterrence.

We also discuss how brewer’s yeast may help repel fleas, how to properly garlic for flea control, and how to apply apple cider vinegar and coconut oil for dogs to support healthy skin and coat resilience.

Finally, we take a clear look at conventional flea and tick medications, what their product inserts actually say, and why many of them are classified as pesticides. If you’re concerned about systemic flea treatments, oral tick medications, or chemical spot-ons, this episode gives you a grounded, informed perspective on natural alternatives.

If you’re searching for:

• Natural flea prevention for dogs

• Natural tick repellent for pets

• Raw feeding for parasite resistance

• Garlic and brewer’s yeast for fleas

• Pesticide-free flea and tick control

This episode walks you through it in detail.

Build the terrain. Strengthen the host. Reduce chemical load. That’s the Gubba Homestead way.

62: Homesteading as Medicine: How Traditional Living Restores Calm, Resilience, and Health Mar 02, 2026

Show notes

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 sense of safety and orientation that many people feel they’ve lost.

This episode also explores why self-sufficiency resurges during uncertain economic times, how convenience culture quietly weakens resilience, and why skills, food storage, and tangible resources reduce fear at a biological level—not just a mental one. Homesteading isn’t about going backward. It’s about restoring what the body still needs to function well.

This episode is sponsored by Arvoti, Gubba’s natural, clean skincare brand built on the same philosophy discussed here: supporting the body instead of forcing it. Simple, intentional ingredients that work with your skin, not against it. Learn more at arvoti.com.

Homesteading isn’t nostalgia. It’s remembrance. The body has not forgotten what it needs to feel steady, capable, and at peace.

61: Root Canals, Meridians, and Chronic Illness: What Dentistry Isn’t Telling You About Whole-Body Health Feb 16, 2026

Show notes

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.

Explore why a root canal creates a "dead" structure in a living body, learn how these hidden, low-grade infections may evade standard X-rays and contribute to chronic stress on the immune system, potentially manifesting as unexplained fatigue, inflammation, hormonal imbalances, autoimmune issues, or other persistent health challenges far from the mouth.

We will dive into the fascinating concept of meridians from traditional systems like Chinese medicine, where each tooth aligns with specific organs and energetic pathways.

Whether you're dealing with chronic mysteries, curious about whole-body connections, or simply want to make more informed choices about dental care, this thought-provoking discussion encourages curiosity over convention.

Tune in to the Gubba Homestead Podcast for practical insights on homesteading, natural health, and living in alignment with your body and the land.

60: Regenerative Homesteading Anywhere: How To Build a Self-Sustaining Food System Without Acreage Feb 02, 2026

Show notes

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 animals fit into regenerative homesteading. From rotating chickens through gardens to using goats for brush control and sheep for pasture improvement, we explain how livestock can heal land, build fertility, and reduce labor when managed properly.

We also discuss simple, effective water management, including slowing runoff, improving soil water retention, and using rain collection to support gardens naturally. Finally, we cover food preservation methods like canning, fermenting, drying, freezing, and root storage, and why preservation is essential for a truly resilient homestead.

This episode is for anyone interested in homesteading, self-sufficiency, regenerative living, food independence, and building systems that last, no matter where you live.

59: Dragons vs Dinosaurs: Memory, Myth, and the Story We Were Taught to Believe Jan 19, 2026

Show notes

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 alongside humans.

We examine documented dragon bones in Chinese tradition, known as longgu, and how these physical remains were later reclassified under modern paleontology. We also break down how the word dinosaur was coined in the 1800s, how fossil interpretation depends on reconstruction and assumptions, and why museums often present models that feel like memory rather than interpretation.

This episode goes deeper than bones. We discuss how narratives shape what we are allowed to imagine, why questioning dinosaurs triggers such strong reactions, and how the dinosaur framework places death and extinction before humans ever appear. Dragons, by contrast, exist within moral and spiritual frameworks, warnings, and human history itself.

Ultimately, this is a conversation about memory versus model, testimony versus reconstruction, and whether human history preserves truths that modern frameworks have tried to relabel out of existence.

If you have ever wondered why this conversation feels off limits, this episode will change how you see history.

Once you see it, you cannot unsee it.

58: Traditional Remedies That Work: What Our Grandmas Used (And Why Modern Medicine Replaced Them) Jan 12, 2026

Show notes

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 role of mineral depletion and nervous system support, and how simple practices like herbal teas, magnesium, broth, and barrier focused skincare supported families for generations.

This episode also dives into traditional skin care, including why tallow was historically used to protect the skin barrier and how simplifying modern routines can dramatically improve dryness and irritation. If you are interested in homesteading, self reliance, traditional living, or reclaiming practical health skills, this episode offers a grounded and educational look at remedies that stood the test of time.

Perfect for anyone curious about natural medicine, homesteading skills, traditional health practices, or understanding how we moved from kitchen remedies to prescription first care.
