Bechamp and Pasteur were rival scientists who disagreed about the nature of health.

Louis Pasteur's most significant contributions to modern medicine include his development of the germ theory of disease, the process of pasteurization, and the creation of vaccines for rabies and anthrax. These breakthroughs revolutionized disease prevention and treatment and laid the foundation for modern immunology. 

Bechamp is best known for terrain theory, much more akin to the microbiome theories of health that have gained an increasing amount of traction in current years. He essentially understood the balance of and the importance of the environments we create with foods that our internal systems either support or don't support disease. Béchamp challenged Pasteur's germ theory, arguing that bacteria do not cause disease independently but rather emerge from the breakdown of host tissue under unfavorable conditions. 

In this short episode, Deb touches upon how she stumbled across the work of this very under-represented scientific pioneer, and how we can have more agency by including his point of view as part of our design thinking.

Thermography exposes sensitive breast tissue to 1/1000th the amount of radiation that traditional mammography does. Not only is it safer and cheaper, it identifies inflammation in various parts of the body that are critical for building a systemic and preventative approach to resolving or avoiding chronic diseases like cancer and metabolic diseases. 

In host Deb Voisin’s case, starting at age 26, doctors always prescribed expensive, frequent, and often false positive mammography scans because her breasts were lumpy and her mom had breast cancer. Fortunately, she eventually discovered thermography and Debby De Martini! This game changing approach showed that her lumpy breasts were FINE but found a cracked tooth and early thyroid issues not yet showing up on traditional medical tests! 

Debby DeMartini is a licensed thermographer and in our interview shares how thermography can help anyone with a body build a more accurate map towards building lasting health.

Debby sees patients in Santa Cruz, California and in Texas. Her websites is debby@thermalsc.com and you can reach her at debby@thermalsc.com. If you don’t live in those areas, you can also look up other practitioners at thermologyonline.org.

Deb was shocked at the relief for head injuries and birth trauma that Cindy Bacon, a very experienced craniosacral therapist, was able to help facilitate for members of her family.

In this episode, Cindy shares how this therapy helped her recover from a traumatic brain injury and other experiences as a midwife and home-birth specialist that motivated her to practice this method.

Craniosacral therapy focuses on the bones, membranes, and fluid of the head, neck, and spine (craniosacral system). Practitioners work with the natural, rhythmic movement that can be disrupted by stress, trauma, or disease and aim to restore this rhythm by gently manipulating the bones, membranes, and fluid of the system. 

Cindy Bacon is in the Santa Cruz, California area and can be reached at US 831.462.6575.

In Deb’s healing journey, she was surprised at how impactful ions from grounding and ionic footbaths were to support healing from autoimmune and other “incurable” conditions.

Once she learned that they worked in great part because they decreased chronic inflammation, she finally found and started using alkalized hydrogen-rich water because it was much more powerful and easier to integrate into her everyday life! Decreasing chronic inflammation became effortless!

Reduced inflammation enhances the body’s ability to heal, promotes healthier tissues, and supports better organ function. Hydrogen-rich water increases antioxidant capacity and thereby decreases the inflammation response of the body in healthy adults.

In this interview, Thai Cabados from Life Ionizers explains some of the science behind alkalized hydrogen rich water and many practical tips for making the most of this as a part of your health protocol.

Deb Voisin, founder of Moving As Designed, has spent decades considering the physical and cultural aspects of sitting. She has intensely tested a variety of approaches to optimizing it as important part of her health freedom.

In fact, when Deb sat at her most as a sedentary technology professional with a daily 3-hour commute, she gained an inch in height from very intentional small changes in how she sat!

Whether or not sitting is really the new smoking, it is a critical part of our lifestyle design that merits its own episode!

In this interview, Heather Houston shares how cultivating our natural singing voices bring health in a surprising number of ways! 

Heather has been a professional singer for much of her life and only recently learned that she had a tongue-tie. Tongue ties can be so restrictive that they deform normal facial growth, but after decades of having one, she finally saw a natural orthodontist who told her that her singing practice is what preserved her healthy facial architecture! 

Heather gives us immediate first steps to take for harnessing this power more skillfully alone and in groups and together we get a better understanding of just how powerful the practice of mindfully cultivating enjoyment of the sound of our own voice can be. Above all else, singing is skillful and relaxed breathing.

Heather Houston is a community choir director, recording artist, and women’s vocal empowerment coach who is passionate about uplifting hearts, freeing voices, and building strong, loving communities through the power of singing. She spreads her magic through her 30+years experience writing and producing music, and offering life transforming singing experiences

Despite a variety of setbacks and injuries, Deb shares how she finally grew to love running at age 57!

After yet another horrible hip crash that left her limping and cawling to avoid stabbing pain, she regained her ability to sprint in a surprising way. Determined to keep that ability no matter what, she decided to start sprinting every day for at least 111 days in a row.

This tiny commitment over the 111 days transformed not only how she ran, but helped her authentically confront things that had prevented her from enjoying running. She called this experiment Project Run-Wave because she recorded her runs in slow motion and wore skirts as she ran that amplified healthy running's natural wave-like motions!

She shares what you might learn about yourself by AIMING LOW enough to make small habit changes that will last.

When my son was young, he had a variety of chemical sensitivies, food allergies, and crowded teeth. In the process of working with Dr.Ariana Ebrahimien, I learned how changing oral posture and guiding facial growth could double airway size...and as he grew, his face and oral posture changed and he eventually lost ALL food and chemical sensitivies...and has a gorgeous jawline to boot!

In this interview, Dr. Ebrahimien and I discuss various aspects of how holistic dentistry and oral posture are powerful tools for optimizing our overall health. Breathing, chewing, and swallowing are the most important movements that humans make!!! Walking is not even as important!

We discuss a variety of factors beyond simply brushing and flossing affect our mouth's ecology and briefly touch on topics like fluoride alternatives, jaw strengthening, and lip taping to train nasal breathing.

Dr. Ariana Ebrahimien treats patients out of her office in Scott's Valley, California. She has a Bachelor of Arts degree in Philosophy from Boston College and a degree in Doctor of Dental Surgery at the University of the Pacific Arthur A. Dugoni School of Dentistry.

This week's episode is with Nicholas Simpson, Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology (BScKin), NSCA Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist (CSCS). Nic has coached multiple medal-winning athletes and teams at the international & Olympic levels.

In this interview, we discuss how important healthy feet are for our agility and athleticism. They are our primary interface with our environment and integrated foot strengthening is not commonly emphasized despite being a weak spot for most people who wear shoes all the time!The few foot strengthening protocols that are commonly practiced are ineffective because they look at the foot as separate from the integrated, whole body tensegrity system.

In this interview, we cover surprising aspects of our foot design and its impact on movement health, including how the biodynamic architecture of our foot arches act as trampolines that are meant to recycle bounce in every step...and simple things to restore it!

Hannah of Hannah Presence Yoga is a successful yoga teacher in the UK who has taught a lot of different types of yoga classes to a wide variety of people.

At one point in her career, her yoga practice stopped progressing. She visited a personal trainer and was shocked at not only how weak certain muscles were but how much more "flexible" she became once she got stronger!

She realized that part of what she and other yoga teachers characterized as muscle "tightness" was often a sign of muscle weakness and overstretching... So she redesigned her classes and her students also started to have breakthroughs.

We chat about how Hannah navigated these and other lifestyle changes.

I once received a $350,000 medical bill for misdiagnosis, surgery, and medication that DIDN'T WORK to resolve a problem that a simple elimination diet mostly corrected a few months later for free.

Although I had insurance, I still had to pay a $20,000 copay for the useless and damaging interventions.

This unexpected experience catalyzed me to start a 17-year journey down a deep rabbit hole of root-cause health research to find practical alternatives to invasive, expensive, and often inappropriate medical procedures...and many were not only free but simple, enjoyable, and unexpected!

I used research and design thinking skills from my 25-year-long design research career to help my son heal from several "incurable" conditions. This show is to share this way of thinking so that more people can find unexpected, effective, enjoyable, and affordable ways to create health.

She has been teaching in public and private schools since 2001, including teaching children and teenagers with special needs, teaching reading intervention, 2nd grade, teaching art to students in grades K-12, and being a consultant at a public school home-based independent study program.  She is also the co-founder of the homeschool program Acton Academy Santa Cruz.

Carol was homeschooled for a time herself as a child, and when traditional school wasn't working for her own three children, she began homeschooling them as well.  It's been 12 years since she began her journey as a homeschool parent, and she has never looked back.  She wants families to experience the freedom and benefits of home-education, living and learning in a way that is meaningful and engaging to them, without having to fit into a prescribed box of someone else's choosing.

Jeremy R. Hammond is an independent journalist who exposes state propaganda designed to manufacture consent for criminal government policies. He provides deeply researched analyses on critical issues—including US foreign policy, economic policy, and health freedom—to empower readers to think critically, take action, and make an impact.

His work has been cited and recognized for its literary and scholarly excellence by prominent thought leaders including Noam Chomsky, Tom Woods, Max Blumenthal, Paul Craig Roberts, Dr. Jay Bhattacharya, and Dr. Joseph Mercola.

Jeremy’s book “The War on Informed Consent: The Persecution of Dr. Paul Thomas by the Oregon Medical Board” has a forward by Robert F. Kennedy Jr and is on sale at his website www.jeremyrhammond.com. His book exposes how the medical board suspended Dr. Thomas’s license on false pretexts, illuminating how the true reason for the order was that, by practicing informed consent, he posed a threat to public vaccine policy, which is itself the true threat to public health.

We hope you enjoy our conversation about various aspects of public health policy and medical freedom!

Sandy Gross is a "Regen Specialist"! She teaches her athletic clients the performance care skills they needed to learn to recover better in between practices and games.

Regeneration is a set of skills, that when combined with breath and the mind, are superlative to simple rest and time.

Since 2013, her work has filled a void in the sports performance space with tools, techniques and information that coaches, trainers, athletes, doctors and physical therapists value, but they weren't taught in their schooling. 

Tune in to our conversation about various gentle techniques that can help anyone improve the possibility of creating long-term, pain-free athleticism!

Sam Miller was told his extreme scoliosis was life-threatening and would require surgery. Instead, he rebuilt his posture using breathwork, nervous system retraining, and whole-body tensegrity principles.

In this episode, we explore how scoliosis can be approached as a pressure and alignment problem rather than a fixed structural defect. Sam explains how the body functions as a hydraulic system, why 80% of nervous system signals travel from body to brain, and how true posture change happens from the inside out.

We cover his practical 3-step process:

1. Unraveling – releasing interference and distortion
2. Alignment – restoring pressure and tensegrity
3. Fortification – strengthening the new pattern

This conversation challenges the belief that scoliosis is permanent and shows how natural methods can restore agency to the individual—when paired with patience, belief, and consistent practice.

Today’s guest is Dr. Cuan Wayne Coetzee, founder of MoveMedUK—a clinician and educator specializing in restoring pain-free, efficient movement through a neurological approach to the body.

We dive into the central idea that movement is neurology. Rather than viewing pain as only a tissue problem, Dr. Coetzee explains how pain often reflects the brain’s protective responses, how movement patterns become “wired in” over time, and how they can be retrained with the right inputs.

In this conversation, we explore:

- what it really means to say that movement is driven by the nervous system

- why pain is often a protective output, not simply “damage”

- the differences between mobility, flexibility, stability, and control

- the 10 levels to include in a pain-free movement plan

- the pillars of healthy movement he teaches clients and clinicians

- practical first steps if you feel “stuck” in your bodyYou’ll hear both science and story

—and plenty of practical wisdom you can apply immediately in your own movement practice.

BioGeometry is a modern design-based science rooted in ancient Egyptian principles that uses geometric forms to balance the subtle energy qualities of living systems, environments, and technologies. It centers on a unique “BG3” energy effect—said to create harmony and biological regulation—which practitioners apply through shapes, environmental design, and large-scale EMF harmonization projects, including the well-known Swiss town case studies. The field now spans architecture, agriculture, product design, and home energy balancing, supported by courses, research collaborations, and an expanding global community.Deb invited Diana onto The Architecture of Health because BioGeometry is, quite literally, the architecture of health—bridging space, energy, biology, and design in ways that directly affect human well-being. Diana has personally helped Deb navigate and mitigate the stressors in her own living environment, including dozens of WiFi signals, a nearby 5G tower, and the impacts of toxic mold.Diana Moll is an advanced student of BioGeometry with a deeply interdisciplinary background: she holds a BA in Art from UCSC with an emphasis in drawing and printmaking, an MA in Traditional Chinese Medicine, and has been a California-licensed acupuncturist since 1999.
