Tom opens this week’s livestream with a fascinating reflection on a viral video featuring former Portland State professor Peter Boghossian, who—alongside James Lindsay and Helen Pluckrose—exposed corruption and ideological bias in academia by submitting intentionally absurd papers to top peer-reviewed journals. Tom draws a parallel between this famous academic hoax and the state of virology today, where peer-reviewed publishing often rewards conformity over truth.

Watch Peter Boghossian's video here.

Later, Tom dives deep into Strophanthus, also known as "The Gift from Paradise." Tom shares his thoughts on:
- The true observations behind Strophanthus' effects on the heart, nervous system, and more
- How modern biology misinterprets these effects using flawed theories like the sodium-potassium pump
- The fascinating history of cardiac glycosides like Wabain and why they fell out of use
- Why Strophanthus may support energy, relaxation, and vitality—not through “receptors” and “pathways,” but by improving the gel-like structure of our cells
- A humorous and insightful critique of peer-reviewed science (and an idea for a spoof paper on climate denialism viruses!)

In this episode of Conversations with Dr. Cowan & Friends, we introduce Dr. Becky Peebles—osteopath, sports medicine expert, and the newest member of New Biology Clinic.
Becky shares her journey from military medicine to corporate burnout—and how it led her back to nature, real healing, and the kind of care that asks why, not just what. Whether you're an athlete, a parent, or someone seeking answers beyond prescriptions, this conversation is full of insight, honesty, and hope.

Over the past few years, one of the most common challenges we hear about at the New Biology Clinic revolves around eye health. Time and again, patients share their concerns about declining vision, cataracts, glaucoma, and the feeling that nothing can be done except “wait and see.”

Frankly, modern eye care often leaves people feeling disempowered—told to watch their vision worsen until surgery is the only option. That’s why I’m so pleased to introduce the newest addition to the New Biology Clinic: Marc Grossman, OD, LAc.

Dr. Grossman is one of the most experienced and forward-thinking holistic eye doctors practicing today. With over 45 years of clinical experience, he has pioneered approaches to improve vision naturally, integrating nutrition, Chinese medicine, and mind-body work. He’s also the author of an 800-page book with 2,000 peer-reviewed references on natural eye care—making him uniquely qualified to guide us through the complexities of vision health.

Join us for this inspiring conversation to hear Dr. Grossman’s insights on why vision isn’t “stuck,” how neuroplasticity applies to the eyes, and what you can do now to protect and even improve your sight.
