Deconstructing Conventional
Welcome to Deconstructing Conventional, a show fascinated by one simple question: How did we get here? How did what we call “conventional” come to earn that title? Is there a better way, and if so, what would it look like? This show is about deconstructing two things: Our individual biases, and the systems that run (or attempt to run) our everyday lives.
We do this deconstruction with an eye for where we can reconstruct something better that leads to flourishing societies, and robust physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual health. In short, this show is about questioning our assumptions and practicing systems-level thinking.
I’m your host, Christian Elliot, I’ll do my best to stay curious and humble. You do the same and we’re both bound to learn something. Welcome to the show. Prepare to have your thinking stretched.

How to Find the Right Kind of Doctor
Have you ever had the experience at a doctor’s office where you left feeling like, "Uh…something feels off. This doesn’t feel right, but I can’t put my finger on it"?
Maybe you didn’t feel seen, but you kind of resigned yourself to thinking maybe you just need to trust the process because you're not the "expert."
If you've ever felt like that, we think you'll love this episode.
Christian discusses:
- Mindset ruts to avoid
- The echo-chamber problem
- Examples of informed vs. uninformed consent
- The checklist he uses to help him spot helpful doctors
- The types of disciplines he would use for the four main health situations
- 10 characteristics he looks for when interviewing someone who might be able to help him (or his clients) get well.
Here is the original blog post Christian wrote that inspired this episode.
