I’m thrilled to welcome back to Love & Life, Jenna McCarthy. Her newest book was just released and is co-authored with Dr. Pierre Kory called: The War on Chlorine Dioxide: The Medicine That Could End Medicine. She’s also the author of Yankee Doodle Soup for the Fringy, Tin Foil Hat-Wearing Conspiracy Theorist’s Soul and The War on Ivermectin: The Medicine that Saved Millions and Could Have Ended the Pandemic with Dr. Pierre Kory. Picking up where we left off, we continue to process our parallel journeys navigating a country and world that we don’t even recognize anymore. How do you process everything that’s culturally and politically these last few years?How do you navigate the isolation you can feel from family and friends?What does moving forward look like? What can we do? What are practical ways we can push back and find trustworthy voices? And how does Substack play into all of this?We discuss this and so much on the show today! Jenna McCarthySubstack: https://jennasside.rocks/Dr. Karin & Pastor E

Today I’m speaking with Rob Pikula, who I met at the Indiana Children’s Health Defense. Rob is an advocate for medical freedom and shares his experience dealing with many personal trials and how he overcame those hardships through the power of shifting his mindset, understanding his triggers, and learning to live presently.  Rob shares how his health freedom advocacy began with a life-altering event—a heart attack that revealed to him the limitations of conventional medicine. After hitting various dead ends within the current medical system, Rob sought alternative treatments and started to question the medical protocols that had been imposed on him. This pivotal moment set him on a path of research and self-discovery, leading to a deeper understanding of health and wellness. Rob’s journey is a powerful testament to the importance of health freedom, personal empowerment, and the role of mindset in shaping our realities. May you be empowered by Rob’s story and encouraged to take control of your own mental, phys

Today I’m joined again by Dr. M. Nathaniel Mead and Dave Wayne as we continue the conversation Dr. Mead and I began in Ep. 391 Covid: Find out What REALLY Happened on The Covid Index. In this conversation, we dive into the ways censorship, corporate influence, and technological manipulation have distorted evidence-based medicine, suppressed free speech, and accelerated societal fragmentation. We also discuss the profound impact of mass formation and psychological manipulation during COVID — from the suppression of dissenting voices to the rapid artificialization of lifestyles, food, and even human identity. We break down:* The decline of genuine science and the rise of scientism during the pandemic* The dangers of centralized media, censorship, and reliance on AI for knowledge* How artificial environments, chemical exposure, and disconnection from nature are subtly rewiring human biology and psychology* The importance of reclaiming personal autonomy, free speech, and practices like mindfulness* Practical step

We are continuing to discuss what real change looks like in 2026. We start off in the middle of a Midwest snowstorm, which takes out Karin’s power mid-recording, but Elliott and Tim pick up the conversation and continue to discuss how Elliott’s clients have embraced his A.C.E. acronyms from Ep. 390.The conversation leads into what do we do when life happens? How do we stay present and grounded in the midst of chaos? How can we reframe difficult circumstances? How do we battle the internal dialogue we can all find ourselves struggling with? These patterns, beliefs, and habits that are ingrained into us. What does real transformation look like?Elliott gives practical application that gives us a framework for how to face these challenges and keep moving us forward! This is the time of the year when New Year’s Resolutions start to drop off. May this conversation help give you the tools and belief to keep going! You can take charge of your thoughts and take charge of your life in 2026!   Dr. Karin & Pastor Ell

Last November, I attended the Children's Health Defense Annual Conference in Austin, and I was able to connect with so many medical freedom activists and dissidents and so many people who are still concerned about COVID. Yes, even 6 years later - we need answers!At the conference, I got connected with The Covid Index, founded by researcher M. Nathaniel Mead, MSc, PhD.Since the late 1990s, Dr. Mead has authored over 55 peer-reviewed scientific papers, contributed to numerous books, served as an editor for two peer-reviewed scientific journals, and worked as an integrative-medicine research consultant. Mead is also the lead author on several peer-reviewed papers on the Covid-19 mRNA vaccines, co-authored with Drs. Peter McCullough, Stephanie Seneff, Jessica Rose, Paul Marik, William Makis, and other notable scientists.He joins me on the program today to discuss where we are today and the work that The Covid Index is doing to grow and build an expansive dictionary of evidence to the many falsehoods that were

On the heels of last week’s episode, we are continuing to discuss how to thrive in 2026! Today, Elliott and Karin dive into various modalities to help us strategize and take charge. They explore the importance of concrete planning in areas like sleep, nutrition, and personal habits, emphasizing the power of self-control and conscientiousness. Elliott takes us through two acronyms that he uses in his personality class he’s teaching this spring:A.C.E.Accept, Change, EngageAcknowledge, Consider, EmoteKarin then walks us through her practice this year, highlighting a fruit of the Spirit each month and the habits, practices, and mindset changes that can come from it. Finally, the conversation also touches on recent changes in health recommendations and their impact on current and future generations. Join them as they share personal insights, practical strategies, and the significance of aligning habits with values for a healthier, more intentional life in 2026!Dr. Karin & Pastor Elliott AndersonWebsite: http:/

Happy New Year!As we move into 2026, it’s that time of year where many of us take time to pause, reflect, and set goals for the upcoming year. Transformation is something that takes time. It’s change that comes from the inside out. But where do we start? At times, it can feel daunting and overwhelming to even know where to begin. So today, we want to discuss various ways we can grow personally, spiritually, and within our relationships.  What role does reflection play in setting goals for the new year?How do we build habits when our days already feel too full?What does it mean to be intentional in 2026?How do all of these areas impact not only ourselves but the relationships around us?Take charge of your new year and build habits, routines, and systems that will last! We pray that no matter how 2026 finds you, this year would be one of transformation for you. Thank you for listening. Dr. Karin & Pastor Elliott AndersonWebsite: http://loveandlifemedia.com/Empowered Dating Playbook: smarturl.it/EmpoweredDat

Estranged. Cut off. Disengaged.Whatever you want to call it—it’s trending! Going “no contact” has become so ubiquitous Oprah covered it in a recent podcast episode, Mel Robbins just wrote a NY Times article about it, and it’s the subject of several books and thousands of TikToks.What’s going on? Why are so many adult children cutting off their parents and families?Is Going No Contact a difficult, yet imperative, decision to protect oneself from a toxic family?Or, does it reflect an unwillingness to navigate the messiness of adult family relationships, because, of course, it’s way easier to solely interact with likeminded friends. Is it self care or self sabotage?Elliott and I delve into the myriad elements surrounding this phenomenon, including:1️⃣The increase of family disengagement Elliott has witnessed in his clinical practice. 2️⃣The Going No Contact debate—does it facilitate or impede our emotional development and maturity?3️⃣How “self-help culture” has introduced therapeutic terms into our everyday lexi

Today we have Liz James from Blessed By His Blood on the podcast to discuss the ways in which the blood donation industry isn’t everything most of us thought it was. As it turns out, there is a lot of money involved, and as with most things, everything is not as it seems.

I connected with React 19 at the Children’s Health Defense Conference in Austin earlier this month. I wanted to invite some of its members to share their stories of COVID shot injuries. To this day, most of the public is unaware of the horrific adverse events many people experienced when doing the “right thing” by taking the “vaccine” during COVID.Doctors ignored their conditions or claimed they were psychosomatic. Insurance companies often refused to cover their treatments, surgeries, and medications. Some victims’ lives have been forever altered. They’ve gone from healthy and vibrant to bedridden and wheelchair bound. Some have died. Will anyone acknowledge them? Acknowledge their suffering? Acknowledge they tried to do their part to stop the spread of the virus—only to endure lifelong suffering?Will they ever be heard?React 19’s mission is to support these victims and provide a platform through which they can share their story. At Love & Life we see them; we hear them; we walk arm and arm with them. Th

Karin got to attend the Children's Health Defense Conference in Texas last week and got to meet Love & Life favorite Dave Wayne for the first time IRL! On today's episode, Karin and Dave review the conference and the key takeaways from speakers— many of whom are fighting these issues on the front lines of our culture. They also discuss the concerns so many of us have regarding the physical, emotional, and mental health of future generations. Particularly the impact of environmental factors, the rise in autoimmune diseases, and many more issues we've seen increase in the United States among children in recent decades.

We are tackling a topic today that is currently revolutionizing every aspect of the world around us: A.I. Specifically, we are looking at how A.I. is impacting our most sacred connections as human beings in our relationships. How do we as human beings engage with this new artificial reality that we find ourselves in? What are the implications on our faith, relationships, and the very psychology of our humanity? What are we at risk of losing if A.I. goes unchecked?At this moment in time, many of us find ourselves asking these questions. Join us as we dive into and try to make sense of this complex topic! Dr. Karin & Pastor Elliott AndersonWebsite: http://loveandlifemedia.com/Empowered Dating Playbook: smarturl.it/EmpoweredDatingBookInstagram: @dr.karin | @pastorelliottanderson

Today’s episode was recorded just days before Charlie Kirk was murdered back in September. We decided not to post it after his death as we were all in shock and grieving after the events that took place. We are releasing it now as a bonus episode. Although it’s a few months old now, the topic seems more relevant than ever. How do we live authentically with integrity when it means we do so alone? How do we face isolation? What happens when that isolation comes from family and friends? How do we face trials and suffering?What does the Bible mean when it commands us to count it all joy when we face difficult circumstances?These are not easy questions, yet they are things we wrestle with in our journey through this life. We hope you’ll find peace and comfort in this episode no matter what difficulties you are facing. You are not alone. Please reach out with any questions or comments. We’d love to hear from you!Dr. Karin & Pastor Elliott AndersonWebsite: http://loveandlifemedia.com/Empowered Dating Playbook: s

Elliott recently shared some of psychiatrist Dr. William Glasser’s work with Karin. Karin hadn’t researched his work in a long time, and it immediately resonated with her and the times we are living in. Dr. Glasser developed Reality Therapy and Choice Theory and was very critical of traditional therapy modalities of his time.In this episode, we explore these themes and how we can see them through a Biblical lens. Elliott relates this to many of his clients who have recently felt stuck in their ability to make choices and move forward in life, making change. Karin also explores the ways in which modern-day therapy disempowers and dehumanizes so many people seeking help. What actions can we take to make real change? How do we get unstuck?What are the choices we make day to day that we have the power to change?We hope you are encouraged and empowered as you listen. Make it happen! Dr. Karin & Pastor Elliott AndersonWebsite: http://loveandlifemedia.com/Empowered Dating Playbook: smarturl.it/EmpoweredDatingBoo

After a variety of counseling sessions that revolved around similar themes Karin and Elliott dive into the topic of control. What do we do when our world around us feels chaotic and anxious? How do we deal with being misunderstood and mistreated? What’s the antidote to trying to control the people and situations in our lives? Where is God in the midst of anxiety and fears?Karin and Elliott share their strategies, re-frames, and wealth of experience on how to deal with these big questions we all face. Be empowered and encouraged as you listen! If you have any additional questions or comments feel free to reach out to us on our website or on social media. Dr. Karin & Pastor Elliott AndersonWebsite: http://loveandlifemedia.com/Empowered Dating Playbook: smarturl.it/EmpoweredDatingBookInstagram: @dr.karin | @pastorelliottanderson

Today we have the pleasure of hosting Love & Life favorite David Wayne to discuss the intersection of faith, mental health, and the devastating ways Big Pharma impacts those seeking help. We discuss the spiritual awakening that many have experienced over the last 5 years, the challenges of navigating the mental health system, and the importance of emotional connection and self-empowerment in recovery. * The mental health system often perpetuates harm rather than healing.* How labels dehumanize people seeking help.* How SSRIs numb our emotions. * The importance of our emotions as we heal.* How hope and self-empowerment are essential for recovery.* And much more!Enjoy the conversation and we pray that it meets you wherever you are on your journey towards wholeness and healing.
