The Health Confidential with Simone Gisondi

In this powerful episode of Health Confidential, host Simone Gisondi speaks with Dr. Andrew Wakefield, a British gastroenterologist whose professional path shifted from respected medical researcher to one of the most controversial voices in vaccine safety. His early work at the Royal Free Hospital in London uncovered severe gastrointestinal issues in autistic children—conditions that had been largely ignored by mainstream medicine. By listening to parents and investigating the gut-brain connection, Dr. Wakefield found that treating gut inflammation could improve neurological symptoms, sparking a debate that would reshape his career.Challenging medical orthodoxy came at a steep personal and professional cost. Dr. Wakefield faced widespread persecution, the loss of his medical license, and ultimately, exile from the traditional medical establishment. Determined to continue raising awareness, he transitioned to filmmaking, producing documentaries like Vaxxed to highlight what he describes as systemic flaws in vaccine research and medical reporting.This candid conversation invites listeners to reflect on the meaning of true scientific integrity. Dr. Wakefield’s journey underscores the importance of putting patient health before professional reputation and raises pressing questions about how medicine approaches research, safety, and accountability in protecting public health.KEY TAKEAWAYSChildren with autism often had severe gut inflammation that was overlooked by doctorsTreating gut health showed improvements in neurological symptomsVaccine safety studies were inadequate, often conducted on institutionalized children without proper oversightAllegations of destroyed CDC data on vaccine risks raise questions about transparencyNew research suggests vaccinated children may face higher rates of chronic illnessBEST MOMENTS (direct quotes)“We have a professional and moral obligation to take that very, very seriously.”“They put themselves first. And it was very sad.”“There wasn’t one [proper controlled study]. What I found is that the early safety studies of these vaccines were conducted on children in institutions... without any regard to their health or well-being.”“If you don’t want to publish the truth, whether it supports your hypothesis or not, then you’re not a scientist.

Simone welcomes Dr. Nikos Apostolopoulos, to delve into a thought-provoking discussion about masculinity and its definition in today's society. Dr. Apostolopoulos challenges the traditional notions of masculinity, highlighting the importance of tapping into one's sensitive side and embracing a mosaic of emotions. They explore the impact of societal constructs, such as the Hollywood portrayal of masculinity, and how it has led to a disconnect between men and their true selves. The conversation also touches on the concept of toxic masculinity and the need for men to understand and connect with the feminine.  KEY TAKEAWAYS Society has created a construct of what it means to be masculine and feminine, leading to confusion and a lack of understanding of true masculinity. Masculinity should not be defined by societal expectations or Hollywood portrayals, but rather by being true to oneself and embracing emotions and sensitivity. The patriarchal society has suppressed the feminine and created a disconnect between men and women, hindering deep connections and understanding. The societal construct of success, such as the American dream, has influenced the definition of masculinity and created pressure for men to conform to certain roles and expectations. BEST MOMENTS "We have been conditioned, especially me coming from a Greek family, we have been conditioned to be the tough people, the heroes, the embodiment of sacrifice for the family."  "A real masculine person is a person that actually digs deep down inside and brings out the emotions which are a major part of our lives."  "We're too confused nowadays. We're too far gone to be able to sit back and say, this is a male role, this is a female role."  "I think it's great that women can go out in society and work and contribute and, you know, create the environment where they're able to earn for themselves because it makes you feel special."

In this episode of Health Confidential, host Simone Gisondi sits down with Nadine Artemis, founder of Living Libations, for a luminous and paradigm-shifting conversation about the true nature of beauty. Rather than approaching beauty as something to correct or improve, Nadine reframes it as a remembrance of the body’s innate coherence, vitality, and intelligence. Sharing her journey from a curious teenage “formulator” to a pioneer in botanical alchemy, she reveals how essential oils, true natural ingredients, and reverence for the skin as a living organ form the foundation of her philosophy.Together, Simone and Nadine unpack the hidden realities of the modern beauty and fragrance industries—petrochemical-based formulations, endocrine-disrupting synthetics, and widespread greenwashing masked by token “natural” ingredients. Nadine explains the extraordinary nature of essential oils: chemically complex, antimicrobial, non-rancid, and profoundly active both physiologically and energetically. The conversation expands beyond skincare into the emotional, spiritual, and even cosmic dimensions of beauty—how scent unlocks memory, how oils communicate with the nervous system, and how reconnecting with sun, air, earth, and intentional rituals can restore radiance from the inside out. This episode is an invitation to rethink beauty as a holistic, systemic expression of health and consciousness.KEY TAKEAWAYSBeauty is remembrance, not correction—true radiance reflects internal coherence and vitality.The skin is a detoxification organ; what we apply topically can enter the body, especially with heat and sun exposure.Essential oils are chemically dense, antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, and active both transdermally and neurologically.Botanical application is a dialogue between plant intelligence and the body’s own consciousness.Holistic beauty includes lifestyle elements—sunlight, fresh air, earth contact, scalp and oral care, and aligned daily rituals.BEST MOMENTS“Her work doesn’t treat beauty as something to be achieved, but rather as something to be remembered as coherence in the body, as vitality and aliveness.”“It’s the outpouring of the nectar from the plants… of our relationship to the cosmos.”“Most beauty… the ingredients in there are not even neutral to our health. They’re, you know, negative impact.”“Sometimes when you’re near someone who’s wearing one of those mainstream perfumes… your own ability to breathe just drops drastically. That’s your body telling you something.”“What kind of vibration and what kind of frequency do you bring into the body, even through one of the organs, which is the skin?”“To me, essential oils can be a part of that… that interface between what’s form and formless.”“They affect us transdermally, even if you had no sense of smell… and then it leaves the body, which is also what we want.”GUEST INFORMATIONNadine Artemis – Founder of Living LibationsA botanical formulator, aromatologist, and author dedicated to redefining beauty through pure essential oils, holistic skincare, and reverence for the body’s innate intelligence.Websites: livinglibations.comInstagram: nadineartemisofficial, livinglibationsofficialYouTube: www.youtube.com/@livinglibationsofficial Substack: substack.com/@nadineartemis HOST BIOMeet Simone Gisondi, a seasoned coach, published author, and the host of Health Confidential.

In this episode of Health Confidential, host Simone Gisondi sits down with Dr. Darrell Wolfe, famously known as the “Doc of Detox,” for a bold and unconventional conversation about the real roots of health and disease. Drawing on over four decades of experience in holistic health, Dr. Wolfe challenges mainstream medical paradigms and emphasizes “radical responsibility”—the necessity for individuals to reclaim accountability and power over their own well-being. The discussion covers the limitations of conventional medicine, the transformative potential of self-awareness, and the power of emotional and physical detoxification.Dr. Wolfe highlights the critical role of gut health, particularly the large intestine, in preventing and reversing chronic illnesses. He explains how unprocessed emotions, self-judgment, and societal conditioning can manifest as disease, and he shares compelling real-life examples that demonstrate the connection between emotional release and physical healing. Listeners are encouraged to embrace self-love, question limiting beliefs, and take an active role in their holistic wellness journey. This episode is both a wake-up call and a guide to living with empowered health, emotional clarity, and radical self-responsibility.KEY TAKEAWAYSRadical self-responsibility is essential for true healing.Gut health, especially the large intestine, is central to preventing chronic disease.Suppressed emotions and self-judgment directly impact physical health.Conventional medicine often disempowers individuals and pathologizes natural processes.Questioning societal and psychological conditioning is necessary to break free and heal.BEST MOMENTS“The greatest detox you'll ever do is when you have unconditional love for yourself and you never judge yourself or put yourself down again.”“What you cannot process, you will store, and that's all the way from a pimple to a boil to a cyst to a fibroid to a tumor.”“Psychological patterns actually shape biology. And that true transformation actually begins with self-responsibility and awareness.”“Anything that was created by you can be reversed. There's no such thing as genetic disease. There is no such thing. That's a lie.” “If you believe anything that medical doctors say, well, shame, shame on you. And God love them anyway.”GUEST INFORMATIONDr. Darrell Wolfe, Ac. PhD. DNM.

Simone opens with heartfelt gratitude, sharing how Dr. Morse’s teachings supported her recovery after a major stroke and reshaped her understanding of true wellness. With over 50 years of experience, Dr. Morse—board-certified naturopath, biochemist, Master Herbalist, and founder of the International School of Healing Arts—is widely known for his pioneering work in lymphatic detoxification and cellular regeneration.Throughout the discussion, Dr. Morse explains the vital role of the lymphatic system as the body’s primary detox pathway, highlighting how kidney weakness and protein-heavy diets contribute to chronic disease.

In this groundbreaking episode of Health Confidential, host Simone Gisondi sits down with Dr. Thomas Seyfried, a pioneering researcher and professor at Boston College, to challenge everything you think you know about cancer. Moving beyond the conventional genetic model, Dr. Seyfried presents compelling evidence that cancer is, in fact, a metabolic disease—a theory with powerful implications for prevention, treatment, and recovery.Through science-backed insights and decades of research, Dr. Seyfried explores how cancer cells thrive on glucose and how therapeutic strategies like the ketogenic diet, fasting, and metabolic therapies can starve cancer at its root.

In this episode, Simone welcomes Brandon Joe Williams, a legal expert and educator, who shares his insights on autonomy, freedom, and the often-overlooked laws that govern our lives. Brandon discusses his journey from a dental office worker to a thought leader in legal education, emphasizing the importance of understanding the definitions and implications of legal terms, particularly about driving and ownership. He elaborates on his book, "Don't Be a Slave to Your Clients," which advocates for setting boundaries in business and offers a unique approach to client education through free courses.  KEY TAKEAWAYS Once individuals learn how to effectively perform on negotiable instruments, the likelihood of being sued decreases significantly, although there may be restrictions on account usage or payment methods. The approach to selling and marketing can be transformed by creating valuable educational content, such as free courses, which can lead to higher client satisfaction and lower price resistance. The definitions of terms like "driver," "motor vehicle," and "operate" are crucial in legal contexts, particularly in traffic stops. Misunderstanding or assuming these definitions can lead to self-incrimination. Individuals have the right to remain silent and not provide information that could incriminate them. This right is essential in legal situations, especially during traffic stops. When individuals register their vehicles, they may unknowingly enter into a trust agreement with the state, which can complicate their perceived ownership and rights regarding the vehicle.   BEST MOMENTS "The chances of them coming after you once you start performing differently on a negotiable instrument is very, very low." "If you look on, let's say, for example, in California, if you look on the certificate of title, you'll see that your name is listed under a section called registered owner." "The officer is the one who has to prove that claim. Now, I don't see any hope in hell unless a fucking receipt or something flew out the window." "A lot of men don't even skim the surface of finding themselves, much less to try to understand the dance between the masculine and the feminine." "If the police officer or anybody else decides they want to charge you, let's say, for example, for speeding... the officer is the one who has to prove that."   VALUABLE RESOURCES https://www.SimoneGisondi.com HOST BIO Meet the remarkable Simone, a seasoned coach, published author, and the dynamic host of The Confidential.

In this episode, Simone sits down with Tom Cowan, a renowned medical director and researcher known for challenging mainstream medical narratives. They discuss Tom's controversial views on viruses, particularly in relation to COVID-19, as presented in his book "The Contagion Myth." Tom argues that viruses, including the coronavirus, are not the true causes of disease and critiques the widely accepted germ theory. He emphasizes the lack of scientific evidence supporting the existence of viruses and shares insights on how conventional virology fails to prove contagion.  KEY TAKEAWAYS The argument presented claims that no one has ever definitively shown the existence of a virus, challenging the conventional understanding of viruses as causative agents of disease. The discussion emphasizes that the principle of contagion, which suggests that sick individuals can make healthy individuals sick, has been disproven through various studies. It is argued that shared symptoms among individuals do not necessarily indicate transmission from one to another. The process by which virologists claim to isolate and identify viruses is critiqued as flawed. The methods described involve using contaminated samples and various chemicals, which do not provide conclusive evidence of a virus's existence or its role in causing disease. The conversation promotes a holistic view of health, suggesting that symptoms and diseases are often the body's responses to environmental toxins, poor nutrition, or emotional stress, rather than the result of viral infections. There is a call for skepticism regarding mainstream medical narratives, particularly concerning vaccinations and the perceived dangers of viruses. The discussion encourages individuals to question established beliefs and seek alternative explanations for health and illness. BEST MOMENTS "If you follow that understanding, that reasoning, you come to the conclusion very easily that nobody has ever shown the existence of a virus." "The thing that's really got my attention lately is we actually live in a profoundly scientifically illiterate culture." "If you want to prove that it's caused by a bacteria, and it's transmissible between people, the way you have to do that is isolate the bacteria." "You literally just dismantled the entire idea of what they've been pushing on us for since the beginning of medicine."
