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.

Dr. Jen VanDeWater - A Pharmacist's Rude Awakening and How to Not Be Rx Dependent
If you (or someone in your family) regularly take Rx medicine, you don’t want to miss this episode. Dr. VanDeWater is a licensed pharmacist.
We had a wide-ranging conversation about
- The history of Pharmacology.
- The shift she saw in the public psyche and patient behavior when drug advertising directly to consumers was legalized.
- How her belief in her profession started glitching in 2018 and 2019 when she realized she was a cog in an industrial money-making machine that wasn’t looking out for the customer
- The hairy conflicted world of pharmacies being pitted against doctors during covid.
- What she would do differently if she were looking to start a career in a health profession today
- Guidance on how people can work with their doctor or pharmacist to begin the work of de-prescribing so they can get off medications.
It’s not every day you can talk with someone who had a full-frontal crisis of conscience and chose to do the hard thing, walk away from her profession, and use her experience to help humanity find a better path.
