  • "They Told Us To Trust The Science’—But Whose Science?" - Dr. Michael J. Schwartz

    "They Told Us To Trust The Science’—But Whose Science?" - Dr. Michael J. Schwartz
    2025/03/17
    COVID changed everything—our freedoms, our beliefs, and even how we think about science itself. But in the aftermath of lockdowns, mandates, and mass fear, one question remains: Did we actually follow science, or just a carefully crafted narrative? In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Michael J. Schwartz, a medical expert specializing in genetics, respiratory pathogens, and immunology, who has analyzed over 19,000 patients and 44,000 test results throughout the COVID-19 pandemic. As a clinic owner, laboratory director, and author of “Fauci’s Fiction” and “Vaccine Fiction,” Dr. Schwartz has firsthand knowledge of how government policies, media narratives, and flawed data shaped the pandemic response. We dig into the real numbers behind COVID testing and vaccines, the impact of lockdowns on public health, and the politicization of science. Did we follow the best medical practices, or did government agencies manipulate the narrative? Were vaccine mandates based on solid science, or were key data points ignored? And what happens the next time the world faces a crisis like this? No matter where you stand on COVID, this episode will challenge you to rethink what we were told—and what we weren’t.

    2024/09/01
    Welcome to the Shifting Perceptions Podcast, hosted by Jay Alders with special guest Traver Boehm, founder of the Man Uncivilized Movement and author of ManUncivilized and 28 Days in Darkness. In this episode, we dive deep into the silent struggles that many men face, especially those in their 30s to 50s, who often carry the weight of the world on their shoulders while keeping their pain hidden. Are you feeling the pressure to be the provider, the strong one, the man who has it all together? Do you sometimes feel like you’re drowning in expectations—both self-imposed and from society—without a safe space to express your emotions? You’re not alone. ** NOTE: Adult language. Not for kids.

We’ll tackle how to navigate these unrealistic expectations and find a more balanced, fulfilling approach to life. • The Role of Vulnerability in True Masculinity: In a world where showing emotions is often seen as weakness, we redefine masculinity. Learn why vulnerability is a strength and how embracing it can lead to deeper relationships and personal growth. • Balancing Work, Fatherhood, and Self-Worth: Many men find themselves torn between the demands of their careers and the desire to be present fathers. We’ll discuss strategies for balancing these responsibilities without losing your sense of self-worth. • Healing from Childhood Wounds: Our childhood experiences shape who we are, but they don’t have to define us. Traver shares insights on how to heal from past trauma and break free from the patterns that hold us back. • Navigating Anxiety in a Chaotic World: With the world feeling more uncertain than ever, it’s easy to get overwhelmed by anxiety.
