From crippling illness and psychiatric meds to discovering the hidden world of parasites, Joshua Macin has lived through a transformation few could imagine. After years of panic attacks, depression, and a desperate search through Western medicine and plant medicines, Joshua uncovered the link between toxicity, parasites, and chronic illness — and turned his suffering into a mission to help others reclaim sovereignty over their health.
In this episode, Joshua and Darin dive into the misunderstood role of parasites, the terrain theory of health, and the warrior's path of detox. They also explore protocols, from castor oil to coffee enemas, that can help clear the body and reset the nervous system, along with the deeper spiritual journey that comes when the body is no longer hijacked by hidden invaders.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
