This episode titled, "R U Risk or Hazard?", challenges listeners to examine how their mindset influences health decisions, long-term wellbeing, and personal responsibility. Host Reade Hubert, DC, explores the difference between living as a "risk" person versus a "hazard" person and why that distinction matters more than most people realize.

The episode opens with reflections on current public health developments in the U.S., including the country's relationship with the World Health Organization, setting the stage for a broader discussion about how health decisions are made at both societal and individual levels. From there, Reade introduces the core concept: risk-based thinking, which relies on odds, comfort, and delayed action, versus hazard-based thinking, which prioritizes prevention, awareness, and proactive change. Drawing on decades of clinical experience, he explains how these patterns affect food choices, behavior, addiction, and overall health outcomes and why most people move between both categories throughout life.

The conversation then shifts to the "good things" within the Four T's framework. Reade highlights compelling research on gratitude, showing how simple, low-effort practices can measurably improve sleep, stress levels, heart health, and brain function. Practical examples make these findings accessible and easy to apply.

The episode also explores innovation through adversity, spotlighting breakthroughs in minimally invasive heart procedures and personalized CRISPR gene therapy using mRNA technology, demonstrating how trauma and challenge can drive medical progress.

The episode concludes by reframing what it truly means to be "natural," emphasizing adaptation, wholeness, and informed choice, and invites listeners to reflect on upcoming legal decisions around pesticides and herbicides.

This episode is designed to provoke thought, spark self-awareness, and encourage listeners to lean into discomfort for better health.

In this episode, Dr. Reade Hubert explores the uncomfortable but necessary distinction between hazard and risk in modern health, food, and agriculture debates, using L-aspartame, GMOs, and glyphosate as case studies. He traces the history of artificial sweeteners, explains how genetically modified seeds work and why they were developed, and unpacks the global scientific and political conflict surrounding herbicides like Roundup. Throughout the discussion, Dr. Hubert highlights how regulatory bodies such as the FDA, EPA, and WHO often reach different conclusions based on whether they assess theoretical hazard or real-world exposure risk, leaving the public "stuck in the middle." He concludes by grounding the conversation in his core framework: the four causes of sickness (thoughts, toxins, trauma, and traits) and challenges listeners to think more critically about what "natural" truly means in an increasingly complex world.

Key Points

• Explains the history of L-aspartame (NutraSweet), why public hysteria faded, and how newer research reframes concerns around long-term exposure rather than immediate toxicity.

• Clarifies the critical difference between hazard (can it ever cause harm?) and risk (does it cause harm at normal exposure levels?).

• Breaks down how GMOs are created, why seed modification has improved crop yields, and how nature rapidly adapts through resistant weeds and pests.

• Discusses glyphosate (Roundup), its classification differences between WHO and U.S. regulators, and why these disagreements have fueled massive litigation.

• Outlines the ongoing political, legal, and regulatory battles involving Bayer, the EPA, the Supreme Court, and federal farm policy.

• Emphasizes that science, economics, food security, and public health are deeply interconnected—and rarely simple.

• Reaffirms the "Four T's" framework (thoughts, toxins, trauma, traits) as a practical lens for understanding both sickness and healing.

• Leaves listeners with a final reframing: cancer is both a hazard to health and a risk to life, and clarity depends on how we choose to evaluate evidence.
