In the first half, Johns Hopkins School of Medicine professor Dr. Marty Makary discussed the alarming failures within the healthcare system. Expressing frustration over the focus on "billing and coding" over patient care, he was also critical of the medical establishment for ignoring the root causes of diseases, such as diet and gut health, which he believes are crucial to understanding rising conditions like obesity and diabetes. "Obesity has gone up by 500% in the last several decades...[and] we have poisoned our food supply," he asserted, attributing the crisis to ultra-processed foods and harmful chemicals. Makary called for a more holistic view of health, advocating for education over medication. He warned about the rise of chronic diseases, particularly in children, attributing this to lifestyle factors, including excessive screen time and poor dietary habits. Additionally, autoimmune diseases have skyrocketed and now affect one in five women, he cited.

Dr. Makary criticized the over-prescribing of medications, pointing out that "66% of our society now are taking regular or prescription medications, and 20% of children." Some patients, he noted, are so over-medicated, they don't even know what specific prescriptions are for. He addressed the importance of patient education, urging individuals to be proactive about their health, stating, "It's good for people to do some research, to get some different opinions." He also touched on the peanut allergy epidemic, attributing the crisis to misguided medical advice, explaining that a small group of doctors pushed the idea that avoiding peanuts would prevent peanut allergies, "but they got it perfectly backwards."

Paul Selig, often referred to as the Psychic Professor, experienced an awakening in 1987 that left him clairvoyant and able to channel guides from a higher level of consciousness. In the latter half, he shared the latest insights from his spirit guides, a collective he sometimes refers to as "Melchizedek." One of the primary messages from the guides, who have dictated a series of books through him, is that we are not who we think we are and "that who we are is infinitely greater," he detailed. But we've been operating through "a veil of separation, or belief that we're separate from source, and consequently, from one another," he continued, adding that when you "reclaim a relationship with source" it changes your perceptions.

Selig's guides say we're living in an octave of vibration with low tones and high tones, with the low tones what we might think of as evil or hatred, and high tones as love, and yet there are other octaves beyond these. The guides talk about the concept of the "Upper Room"-- that is the place where they teach from, the next level of consciousness or the "octave above the common field (the reality we know)." Speaking of the transformative nature of higher vibrational realities and their impact on human perception, he revealed that when we're operating at a higher vibration level, we might, for example, see colors we've never seen before. The guides, Selig said, believe it will take a few generations for humanity to come into its own in a new way. During the last hour, he offered callers psychic readings and direct channeling.
