In this episode of The Unknown Tribe, Alex Ferri sits down with Dr. Olivia Pompa to explore what wellness can look like when it’s rooted in curiosity, personal experimentation, and common ground not extremes.

Their conversation moves from the sun-soaked rhythm of Tulum and the power of fresh local foods, into deeper territory: environmental stressors we don’t always see, the modern realities of EMFs and sleep, and why so many health conversations become unnecessarily polarized.

Together, they dive into:
– Why Mexico’s fresh ingredients (and tropical fruits) can feel so different in the body
– Practical ways to reduce nighttime exposure at home and support deeper rest
– Seed oils, nuance, and the difference between “industrialized” vs. properly extracted oils
– Mold, heavy metals, and the hidden sources that can quietly drive inflammation
– The mouth-body connection: biological dentistry, cavitations, and systemic impact
– How emotional stress can show up physically and why healing is rarely just one thing

Along the way, Dr. Olivia shares parts of her personal story and the approach behind the Pompa Program a lens focused on removing interference so the body can do what it was designed to do.

A grounded conversation about health without fear, learning without labels, and meeting yourself where you are: one change at a time.

What happens when you leave a rising Hollywood career, give away your belongings, and follow an inner call into the unknown?​

In this episode of The Unknown Tribe, Alex Ferri sits down with Dan Horton, an actor-turned-spiritual facilitator and guide at Shasta Vortex Adventures, to explore how grief, nature, and trust led him from Los Angeles to the mystical landscapes of Mount Shasta and beyond.​

Dan shares:​
- How the “call” showed up in his life, and why most of us resist it at first​
- The moment loss and intuition pushed him to leave LA and head north with no fixed destination.
- A powerful encounter with a mountain lion in Sequoia that reshaped his relationship with fear and protection​
- What it means to live in complete trust of the unknown, guided by signs, synchronicities, and "hot springs as waypoints"
-How Mount Shasta’s energy, Lemurian lore, and vortex sites inform the spiritual journeys he now guides​

From hero’s journey teachings and archetype work, to violet flame activations and fifth-dimensional explorations, Dan reflects on how the same frequencies he works with in Shasta are now woven into his time as a visiting guide at Palmaïa – The House of AïA.​

This is a conversation about listening when life calls, honoring the land, and allowing yourself to be reshaped by places that hold deep spiritual resonance, from the mountains of the north to the mangroves and sea of the Riviera Maya.​
