Ever wonder why, despite the buzz around natural health, herbs are still the underdogs in modern medicine? If you’re curious about the untapped potential of herbs or looking for ways to enhance your wellness routine, this episode of Hacked To Health is your guide.
We’re joined by Jason Ott, a certified herbal nutrition health consultant with over 15 years of experience. Jason’s journey with herbs is deeply personal—he lost his mother to brain cancer and faced his own health challenges, including pre-hypertension, ulcerative colitis, and adrenal fatigue. These experiences drove him to explore the medicinal power of plants, and he’s since helped thousands of clients regain their wellness through holistic, personalized strategies.
In this episode, Jason dives into the cultural and systemic reasons why herbs are often sidelined in today’s healthcare system, especially in the U.S. He’ll unpack common misconceptions about herbalism, explain how the pharmaceutical focus of modern medicine overshadows natural options, and share a hopeful vision for how herbs could transform preventative healthcare. But it’s not just big-picture stuff—Jason also brings it home with practical, safe ways you can start using herbs in your daily life to boost your health.
Tune in and unlock the power of smart, stress-free feeding!

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
