Liver Medic's Brendan Gaughran Launches 'UnconventionalMedicine' Podcast

In a bold move to address the growing disillusionment with conventional medical practices, Brendan Gaughran, the founder of Liver Medic, has launched a new podcast titled 'UnconventionalMedicine.' Co-hosted by Dr. Jason DuBois, a clinical pharmacist and immunologist, the podcast aims to empower listeners with evidence-based, non-pharmaceutical approaches to various health challenges, including insomnia, metabolic syndrome, cardiovascular disease, and Lyme disease. The podcast was officially launched on June 11, 2025, from Coral Springs, Florida.

Gaughran, a molecular cell biologist, stated, "We’re talking to the people who have done everything their doctors told them to do, but they’re still sick. They’ve gone from pill to pill, and they’re still not getting better." This sentiment resonates with many patients who feel overlooked by traditional healthcare systems. 'UnconventionalMedicine' seeks to be a trusted resource for those left behind, focusing on root causes rather than merely treating symptoms.

Each episode features interviews with thought leaders, researchers, and practitioners from the alternative medicine field. They provide practical, science-backed insights into health issues often ignored or simplified by conventional medicine. Gaughran emphasized the importance of filtering through the noise in the alternative health world, stating, "We’re here to highlight the people who are actually making a difference."

In a recent episode, Gaughran and DuBois interviewed Joel Salatin, a prominent figure in sustainable agriculture, who discussed how industrial farming practices have compromised soil health, contributing to the nutritional depletion of the food supply. This depletion, Salatin argues, is a hidden driver behind America’s chronic disease crisis, linking pesticide-laden crops and antibiotic-heavy meat to the nation’s struggles with obesity and metabolic health.

Unlike many health shows that cater to professionals, 'UnconventionalMedicine' is designed for patients, presenting complex medical information in an accessible manner. Gaughran remarked, "We know people are overwhelmed. That's why we do the homework for them, dig into the research, ask the hard questions, and give them tools they can use right away."

The podcast format is straightforward yet effective, featuring pre-recorded, interview-style discussions with experts across various fields, including pediatric care, cardiology, and nutrition. Each guest not only sheds light on their area of expertise but also offers actionable advice to listeners.

Gaughran is concurrently working on a book that will summarize his extensive research and lectures into a practical guide for patients. Over the past decade, he has engaged with thousands across the country, uncovering consistent patterns in patient struggles regarding thyroid issues, chronic fatigue, and digestive problems. He noted, "The core issues often trace back to the same systems: gut health, liver function, and mineral deficiencies."

Furthermore, Gaughran pointed out that many individuals are unwittingly nutrient deficient due to long-term prescription drug use, which can inhibit the absorption of essential minerals such as zinc, magnesium, and B vitamins. He stated, "What they think is a thyroid problem might actually be poor liver detox or gut dysbiosis. The key is to stop treating symptoms in isolation and look at the whole system."

Currently, 'UnconventionalMedicine' is available on YouTube, with plans to expand to popular platforms such as Apple Podcasts and Spotify in the near future. The show aims to release episodes regularly, inviting both patients and practitioners to engage in meaningful conversations about health and wellness.

Gaughran concluded, "We’re here to be a lifeline for people who’ve run out of options. We want to show that there are other paths to healing, grounded in science, compassion, and the determination to ask better questions."
