Ep 923: What If Autism Isn’t What We Thought? with Joseph P. Infranco


In this powerful episode, we dive into the story behind Decoding Cody, where a non-speaking autistic young man begins communicating through letter-board spelling—revealing intelligence, awareness, and insight that stunned everyone around him.

As his voice emerges, he describes not just thoughts—but a deeper reality, including spiritual experiences that are being echoed by others across the country.

What makes this story different?

  • A trial lawyer’s approach to evidence and credibility
  • Consistent accounts across unrelated individuals
  • A tension between skepticism and faith
  • A call to “always assume competence”

This episode explores:

  • What AAC (Augmentative and Alternative Communication) really is
  • How to evaluate extraordinary claims responsibly
  • The mystery of “the hill”
  • The intersection of faith, disability, and purpose
  • Why this conversation is happening right now

This is not just a story.
It’s a conversation starter for believers, skeptics, and truth-seekers alike.

Ep 920: The Hidden Tissue Controlling Your Pain, Aging & Anxiety with Deanna Hansen


What if the root cause of your pain, anxiety, brain fog, and even visible aging wasn’t your muscles… but your fascia?

In this powerful episode, we sit down with fascia expert and Block Therapy® founder Deanna Hansen to explore the hidden system in your body that stores trauma, restricts healing, and influences everything from posture to nervous system regulation.

With over 20 years of clinical experience, Deanna shares how fascia acts as the body’s communication highway — and how releasing it can unlock deep physical, emotional, and cellular transformation.

If you’ve been chasing symptoms without real relief, this conversation will completely shift how you think about healing.


🔥 What You’ll Learn

  • Why fascia is the missing link in chronic pain, inflammation, and aging
  • The connection between fascia, brain health, and nervous system regulation
  • How trauma gets stored in the body — and how to release it
  • Why your feet may be the key to full-body healing (and even facial aging)
  • The truth about stretching, foam rolling, and why they often don’t work
  • How just 15 minutes a day can create real, lasting change
  • The surprising link between posture, circulation, and cellular health

🎯 About the Guest
