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.

Jordan Gundersen MH (Part 1) - Develop Confidence Using Herbs to Balance Your Body & Build Health
Most people have a sense that herbs can have a significant role in healing, but few people know how to use them well.
With so many plants to try, so many ways to prepare herbal remedies, and so many supplements to consider, how does one know where to start?
Today Christian sat down with Jordan Gundersen (a Master Herbalist, Holistic Iridologist, and best-selling author,) to figure out how to make the wide world of herbs approachable and give you the confidence to try them yourself.
In this episode, they discuss,
- Jordan's fascinating story of how he got into herbalism
- Stories of how Jordan has helped his family and clients heal with herbs
- How so much of the industry is peddling products of little to no value.
- How to think like a competent herbalist and where to begin using them
- Specific herbs for acute and chronic conditions,
- Herbs for female-specific needs
- What questions to ask when looking for a good herbalist
- Herbalism books worth owning and who to learn from
It's a fascinating and empowering discussion.
