In the first half, pharmacist Ben Fuchs talked about natural health remedies and the vitamins, nutrients, and minerals that our bodies need to maintain good health. He argued that supplementation is necessary to get the complete nutrition we require because our food supply has been affected by depleted minerals in the soil. He noted that individuals are often dehydrated and tired when they first wake up, and that as an alternative to coffee, drinking a couple of glasses of cold water helps to hydrate and wake a person up. For combating skin problems, Fuchs recommended essential fatty acids (EFAs), zinc (accelerates healing), and collagen peptides.

For acid reflux, he suggested acidifying substances like apple cider vinegar, as the issue may be a person is not producing enough stomach acids, rather than the other way around. Regarding blood sugar, supplements like chromium, vanadium, and alpha-lipoic acid are beneficial for regulation, while drinking lots of water serves as a helpful dilution, he cited. To protect oneself from electromagnetic pollution or EMFs, he advised taking Vitamin C, while supplements such as MSM, NAC, and coenzyme Q10 can act as chelation agents to detoxify the body.

Through thousands of private and group sessions, spiritual medium Carole J. Obley has communicated with souls who have crossed into the spirit world. In the latter half, she discussed her contact with the spirit world and shared stories from her many years of helping clients reach loved ones on the Other Side. She observed that there are repeated themes that come through in her contacts, including the reality of the afterlife, the bond of love being eternal and indestructible, and that the power of our choices determines the quality of one's life both here and in the spirit realm. In her readings, she's found that some spirits do in fact, experience regrets about the choices they made while alive.

One of the most significant things she's learned about the Other Side is that there is nothing to be afraid of there. The spirit world is very similar in certain respects to the earthly plane, she continued, and in her direct glimpses through clairvoyance, the "mid-planes" where most people go upon death, are quite beautiful with very vibrant colors. "There are rivers, and trees, and flowers. There are temples, and schools, and healing places," she said, including the practicing of a diversity of religions, though none are mandatory. Guardian angels and ascended masters have quite a bit of interaction and collaboration with us in our physical lives, though we may not be consciously aware of it, she added. During the last hour, Obley offered readings for callers.
