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.
Terrain Theory
Dr. Marizelle Arce and Jacob Diaz on "parasites", foodborne illness, and Terrainology
Dr. Marizelle Arce is a Naturopathic medical doctor who practices as a Naturopath, marrying her knowledge and understanding of ancient cultures and traditions with current biology, physiology and modern medicine. Jacob Diaz, aka the Undercover Virologist, is a student of the BioTerrain Model, a certified Naturopath, and a passionate researcher into the many contagion myths blamed on nonexistent pathogens.
In this conversation with Dr. Mari and Jacob we discuss:
- Why we can't eat poop (hint: it's not the "germs")
- Reframing foodborne illness
- Why parasites do NOT cause cancer
- Why "parasite" is a misnomer
- Why you should NOT do a parasite cleanse
- The limits of the Terrain Model
- Terrainology: a gathering that YOU should attend!
