Terrain Theory
Terrain Theory is hosted by childhood friends Ben Hardy and Mike Merenda, two seekers on a mission to dismantle the fear-based germ-theory paradigm and illuminate how the body’s terrain—its environment, balance, and intelligence—shapes true wellness. Through insightful conversations with pioneering guests, we reveal how nature’s intelligence, ancient wisdom, and modern science converge in the art of true health and healing. Every episode invites you to reclaim your agency, recognize that you are your primary healthcare provider, and transform your own terrain into a sanctuary of resilience and vitality.
