Today on the podcast, Erica sits down with Lulu Ge, a first-generation Chinese-American founder and former fashion executive who built Elix a modern wellness brand rooted in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and backed by over 240 clinical studies. What started as her personal healing journey after coming off birth control has become a growing wellness movement—one that asks you to look at your health differently.

At Elix, users complete a digital health assessment—and yes, they upload a photo of their tongue. Why? Because in TCM, the tongue is a map of internal health—showing signs of stress, poor sleep, digestive imbalances, and more. The brand is truly doing incredible things, revolutionizing women's health care and allowing them to take their care into their own hands. Elix focuses on providing options to people who have not had access to care, and invests in studies on conditions ignored by traditional healthcare, like fibroids and PCOS. What is most impressive is the over 500,000 cycles they have supported with personalized, proven herbal formulas that target the root cause of menstrual symptoms – at accessible pricing.

Breaking Free of “The Good Daughter Syndrome” with Author and Therapist, Katherine Fabrizio

Wed, 28 May 2025 05:00:00 -0000

Today, we have a conversation with KATHERINE FABRIZIO, psychotherapist and author of ‘ THE GOOD DAUGHTER SYNDROME: Help for Empathic Daughters of Narcissistic, Borderline, or Difficult Mothers Trapped in the Role of the Good Daughter,’ a book about generational trauma that lies at the intersection of good girl conditioning and difficult mothers. Drawing from over 30 years of clinical practice and her own deeply personal journey, Katherine is dedicated to helping daughters reclaim their identity and live their lives free from the invisible chains of their mother’s expectations.

For many women, the mother-daughter bond is complicated by feelings of guilt, shame, and an intrinsic sense of duty. Katherine’s expertise reveals how these dynamics often force daughters into the “Good Daughter” role, in which they’re always focused on pleasing and never prioritize their own needs. This role, while seemingly noble, can lead to anxiety, depression, and a profound loss of self-regard. By blending clinical knowledge with her own story of breaking free from the expectations of a difficult mother, Katherine offers a unique blend of empathy, expertise, and empowerment that emboldens good daughters to reclaim their lost sense of self and become their own woman.

Eamon Dolan Talks “The Power of Parting,” The False Idol of Family, and The Spectrum in Estrangement

Wed, 21 May 2025 05:00:00 -0000

Today, we sit down with Eamon Dolan, author of the new book: THE POWER OF PARTING released in April, to demonstrate why adults choosing to break up with toxic relatives may be the only moral solution for those enmeshed in unhealthy or abusive family dynamics. It’s a deeply personal, poignant piece that debunks cultural messages and social taboos informing our collective bias towards reconciliation; speaks to the phenomenon’s growing prevalence in society (estimated to affect up to 50% of the population) and destigmatizes estrangement for abuse survivors seeking to break the cycle of abuse.

The Power of Parting has already racked up impressive acclaim as a well-researched, practical guidebook that positions estrangement as an empowering solution for abuse survivors seeking to escape cycles of trauma. On this episode, we discuss the four types of abuse, the spectrum of estrangement, the myth of the false idol of family, Eamon’s powerful own personal journey to parting with his own mother, his beautiful life now with his wife and child, and leave listeners with feelings of hope for anyone who may be in a similar cycle.

Banning takes readers through his fraught relationship with his family, the mistreatment he suffered at the hospital, the lawsuit against the owners of the facility, and his desire to make sense of what happened to him. We witness Banning navigate the difficult landscape of trauma and his daily battle to live a normal life. After years of highs and lows that include being adopted by his attorney and mentor, falling in love, grieving the death of his fiancée, and being sued by the same doctors who mistreated him, Banning decides to take control of his life and finds hope in the backcountry of Yosemite National Park, where he discovers new purpose in being a backpacking guide. Through friendship, nature, and eventually giving therapy another chance, Banning summons the courage to keep moving forward. This was a really powerful conversation and is a must-listen — and we hope you enjoy this conversation as much as we did.

Today we have a fascinating conversation with Dr. Cate Shanahan, author of the new book DARK CALORIES: How Vegetable Oils Destroy Our Health and How We Get It Back, released on June 11th.

Elaine Lin Hering Discusses Unlearning Silence and How Silence Effects Our Bodies, Our Workplaces and Our Society

Wed, 29 May 2024 08:00:00 -0000

Today we welcome Elaine Lin Hering to the podcast. In her new book, UNLEARNING SILENCE: How to Speak Your Mind, Unleash Talent, and Live More Fully, Elaine takes our culture of silence to task. Each of us has a unique gift to offer our community: our voice. But despite our distinct and valuable perspectives, many of us choose to stay silent. Family norms, workplace hierarchies, and biased cultures can make us think twice about expressing ourselves, sharing new ideas, and even speaking out when we know something is wrong. Elaine Lin Hering has worked with mental health professionals, political officials, religious communities, and leaders at companies including American Express, Google, Nike, Pixar, and the Red Cross to build skills in communication, collaboration, and conflict management. In her work, she’s seen the pervasive influence of silence in many forms. Elaine has developed strategies to recognize and unlearn unconscious patterns so we can make intentional choices about how we want to show up at home and at work.

Abigail Rose Clarke Discusses Practices for Connecting Somatics, Nature, and Social Change

Wed, 10 Apr 2024 08:00:00 -0000

Today on the podcast we welcome Abigail Rose Clarke. She is the creator of The Somatic Tarot, The Body Oracle deck, and The Embodied Life Method, which she has been teaching throughout the United States and internationally since 2014. The Embodied Life Method aims to help people return to their bodies to find ease and comfort, even when life is difficult and the changes are extreme and fast approaching.

Today she joins us to discuss her new book, titled Returning Home to Our Bodies. Connecting somatics, nature, and social change, Abigail shows us how to return to a deep relationship with our bodies, the natural world, and each other—especially when we've been taught to think of our bodies in specific narratives designed to serve domination systems. Resisting these narratives, readers are reminded of how we can reconnect to our bodies with awe and curiosity in order to dismantle oppressive systems and work toward healing. We have a great conversation with Abigail, and we hope you enjoy the episode as much as we did.

May Lindstrom Talks Highly Sensitive Skin, Non-Linear Journeys, and Her Personal Skincare Story

Wed, 20 Mar 2024 08:00:00 -0000

Today on the podcast we have a conversation with May Lindstrom, who grew up with highly sensitive and reactive skin that would erupt in blisters, rashes, spots of eczema, and various forms of dermatitis when out of balance. Her parents eventually discovered she had a sensitivity to glues, dyes, synthetic fragrance, preservatives, and a long list of irritants.

Traditional skincare would wreak total havoc on her complexion, and even many "natural" ingredients would irritate her skin. As she grew older, her chemical sensitivities continued to increase and she became more aware of how much her environment affected her well-being. Her solution was to immerse herself in the study of plant medicine and ultimately create formulas targeted to her own challenges and goals. Today we have a conversation on May’s really incredible and beautiful journey that spans many different versions of herself, and talk about her truly luxurious, clean, and beautiful skincare line. We loved this conversation, and love these products.

If you are new to the very special world of May Lindstrom Skin, this welcome offer is especially for you. Get an $80 gift of their Hero hydrator, The Jasmine Garden, when you shop $150 or more of their fresh, skin food formulas.

Wed, 13 Mar 2024 14:56:00 -0000

Today we welcome best-selling author Annabel Abbs-Streets to discuss her new book SLEEPLESS: Unleashing the Subversive Power of the Night Self, a remarkable blend of memoir, science and history that traces women's relationship with the darkness, grief, insomnia and the productive, creative opportunities waiting in wakefulness.

In this episode we discuss the latest science of how circadian rhythms—especially in women—change the awake-at-night brain, discuss the idea of a Night Self, and listen as Annabel presents a new way of seeing one’s wakeful nights—not as doom and gloom, but as an opportunity for reflection and creativity.

Dr. Judson Brewer Discusses His Book, "The Hunger Habit", and How Curiosity and Kindness Can Transform Habitual Behavior

Wed, 28 Feb 2024 08:00:00 -0000

Today we welcome, Dr. Jud Brewer to the podcast, who joins us to discuss his new book: “The Hunger Habit.” Dr. Jud is a New York Times best-selling author and thought leader in the field of habit change and the “science of self-mastery,” who blends over 20 years of experience with mindfulness training and a career in scientific research. He is passionate about understanding how our brains work, and how to use that knowledge to help people make deep, permanent change in their lives — with the goal of reducing suffering in the world at large.

His New Book, released on January 30th, is titled: The Hunger Habit: Why We Eat When We're Not Hungry and How to Stop. The Hunger Habit is based on his deeply researched plan proven to help us understand what is going on in our brains so that we can heal the guilt and frustration many individuals experience around eating. The step-by-step program focuses on training our brains to tap into awareness to change our relationship with food and eating—shifting it from fighting with ourselves to befriending our minds and bodies. There is no willpower, calorie-counting, or restricted eating. The key is to learn how to work with our brains rather than resisting our impulses, and to adopt an attitude of self-kindness rather than self-judgment. Grounded in cutting-edge neuroscience and Dr. Jud’s several decades of clinical practice as a psychiatrist, The Hunger Habit is both accessible and compassionate. It will finally help you break out of food jail and reclaim your life.

Lindsey Wilson Talks Bone Broth, Vegan Alternatives, and Why Bone Broth Supports our Gut Health

Wed, 24 Jan 2024 08:00:00 -0000

Today on the show we welcome, One Whole Life, (OWL) Venice Founder, Lindsey Erin back to the show! In 2010, Lindsey committed to living in a way that would minimize the risk of disease, after dealing with a host of gut issues and allergies. Initially, Lindsey began experimenting with an organic, plant-based diet that limited meat and processed foods, and found that she was still experiencing constant allergy symptoms, digestive issues, and acne. In an attempt to resolve these issues, Lindsey began a diet geared to treat GAPS (Gut and Psychology Syndrome) which incorporated bone broth as a healing agent. After struggling to find pre-made broth that was void of common allergens, Lindsey began making her own bone broth with locally-sourced bones and an array of herbs and veggies. Through months of testing and development, she created a broth recipe that tasted more like a tea than a traditional stock, OWL’s signature flagship product. OWL currently offers chicken, turkey, beef, bison, and vegan mineral Broth Elixirs that are sold in stores throughout LA county, and shipped nation wide. Today we discuss Lindsey’s journey, the evolution of OWL Venice, and talk about the benefits of bone broth. To learn more about OWL Venice you can visit www.owlvenice.com

Brandon Mizrahie Founder of Drink Renude Talks Functional Mushrooms and “Chagaccino”

Wed, 20 Dec 2023 08:00:00 -0000

Today we have a conversation with Brandon Mizrahie. Growing up in Los Angeles, Brandon graduated from UCLA and built a successful IT company before diving into the health and wellness space. Despite his success, he was struggling with stomach pain, brain fog, low energy and asthma. After trying various diets, herbs and pharmaceutical products, he discovered the benefits of chaga mushroom tea, leading him to create Renude. He'd make his Chaga the old-fashioned way, with a forty-eight-hour steep and mixing it with coffee. Friends kept drinking his supply, so he spent a year lab testing, formulating, and creating the cleanest, healthiest, most delicious version of the drink: The Chagaccino. We have a discussion on mushrooms as medicine, the popularity of mushroom coffee, Chaga as the most nutrient-dense superfood on the planet, and starting a company and getting his coffee into the best coffee shops in LA!

Chelsie Hodge, CEO of Blender Bites, Discusses How She Created and Grew an Accessible, Affordable, and Nutritious Smoothie Company

Wed, 13 Dec 2023 08:00:00 -0000

Blender Bites is the Vancouver-based company that innovated the at-home smoothie market with their 1-Step organic pre-portioned smoothie pucks. Chelsie Hodge, Founder & CEO of Blender Bites, has been an entrepreneur for as long as she can remember and bootstrapped to get the brand off the ground. Blender Bites was born in 2017 after Chelsie had an aha moment to make a healthy and nutritious smoothie in the morning that would simplify the process yet contain the healthy ingredients she wanted. She felt guilty for throwing away kale that had gone bad in the fridge and grew frustrated with having a freezer full of random frozen fruits, so she froze them all together in a muffin tray. The result – superfood smoothie “pucks” made with clean ingredients and a strong focus on functionality and simplicity. Each smoothie puck is made with a variety of delicious organic fruits, organic greens and a blend of essential plant-based vitamins and minerals derived from whole fruits and vegetables. Blender Bites also recently partnered with actress, performer and entrepreneur Julianne Hough as a brand partner, shareholder and strategic advisor. We have a great conversation today on Chelsie’s personal wellness and entrepreneur journey and hope you enjoy the episode!

Nutrition with Nicole Talks Breaking Up with Diet Culture

Wed, 22 Nov 2023 08:00:00 -0000

Today we welcome online Nutrition Coach and podcast host, Nicole Hagen. For years, Nicole was stuck on the diet culture roller coaster ride, trying to earn worthiness by following rigid food rules, counting calories, eating less, and exercising more. Only to end up exhausted, unhappy, and the farthest from healthy she had ever been. A few wake up calls later, she has now committed her life to helping women live full and vibrant lives without food fear, rules, or restriction. She works to help individuals create eating habits in a healthy and sustainable way.

We have a really wonderful and fun, food positive conversation on nutrition, diet culture, and Nicole’s journey. We also had the pleasure of joining Nicole on her podcast, Health, Wellth & Wisdom Podcast, where we discussed Body Dysmorphia, Medical Discrimination, and our own wellness journeys. You can find that episode from September 12th, everywhere podcasts are available. Listen on Apple Podcasts by clicking here!

Wed, 25 Oct 2023 08:00:00 -0000

Today we welcome, Kemi Nekvapil to the show.

POWER guides us on how to practice, build, and feel your power and is a deeply moving, inspiring, and radically empowering book that doesn’t shy away from the ways power has been used as a tool to keep women, especially women of color, small, and at the same time invites everyone to tap into their inner power and transform the way they live and lead.

Rachel Montez Minor Talks Love, Intuition, and Her New Children’s Book: “See You On the Other Side”

Wed, 11 Oct 2023 08:00:00 -0000

Today we had the absolute pleasure of speaking to and learning from Rachel Montez Minor, who just released her second children’s book “See You on The Other Side,” on September 26th. Rachel is best known for her work on Broadway, TV, and film but is now focusing on writing and her other passions, including yoga instruction and meditation. These calm, mindful sensibilities are reflected in the new book – and they came to her in the most beautiful and almost magical way – which she shares with us today!

Her new book is a comforting, lyrical story about loss and the reassurance that no one leaves us forever because we always carry their love with us. An emotional topic, Rachel handles it with incredible care and we hope this book will serve as a real resource to kids coping with loss. We had a poignant conversation today on love, loss, and learning how to listen to and trust yourself. We hope you enjoy the episode!

Shea works to normalize and glamorize an alcohol free life and create community around booze free living. Today on the podcast, Shea shares her journey with alcohol and her decision to give up alcohol entirely. She classifies her previous drinking as “gray area drinking,” that so many young women can relate to.

The Bad Ass Vegan, John Lewis, Talks Nutrition, Social Media Noise, and How to Live a Vegan Lifestyle

Wed, 19 Apr 2023 08:00:00 -0000

Today on the podcast we speak with John Lewis aka the badass vegan. John is an incredible advocate for promoting wellness and plant-forward eating in underserved communities. Born in Ferguson, Missouri, he didn’t start his wellness journey until he started playing Division 1 basketball and as he got stronger, many of his friends and family got sicker (suffering from Type 2 Diabetes, chronic pain, heart disease, etc). John has made it his mission to burst stereotypes of what a plant-forward/plant-based diet looks like. Lewis became a plant-based eater when he saw how the conventional American diet was utterly failing his community.

His new book “Badass Vegan” is a wake you up” manifesto and plant-based lifestyle plan to buck the system that keeps us sick, and tired. The book offers an irreverent and eye-opening four-part master plan to help readers shift their mindset and enjoy the massive health benefits and pure pleasures of a plant-based lifestyle.

We have a great conversation on plant based eating, John’s life mottos, social media, haters, and so much more than just plant foods. John is a wonderfully inspiring human and we hope you enjoy the conversation as much as we did!

Whitney Hanson is a poet and tiktok phenomenon with over 1.6 million followers. Her best-selling book of poetry, “home” is being re-released on May 9th through Penguin Random House, with a new introduction and more than a dozen new poems.

Through Whitney’s vulnerability and authenticity, she has connected with thousands of readers and adamantly believes that poetry is not a dead language; rather it is the key to unlocking true vulnerability which leads to deeper connection with one another. Whitney grew up in rural Montana and she now attends university in South Carolina. In this conversation, we get to know Whitney and her journey as a poet, college student and college athlete.

Monica Parker Talks ”The Power of Wonder,” Being Curious, and How to Create More Wonder in Our Lives

Wed, 05 Apr 2023 08:00:00 -0000

Today we have a really fascinating conversation with Monica Parker, Author of the new book: The Power of Wonder: The Extraordinary Emotion That Will Change the Way You Live, Learn, and Lead.” Monica is a behavior nerd and founder of HATCH, a world-renowned consultant agency whose corporate clients include Google, Lego, and other Fortune 500 companies. Parker has been an author, speaker, designer, CEO, activist, clown, opera singer. But it was her early career as a homicide investigator defending death row that solidified a deeply profound respect for the power of wonder. There she observed the implications of a life devoid of nature, music, the vastness of the sky, the feel of the wind on your face – the things that bring one wonder.

This learning has been a center point for her work since and in The Power of Wonder, she takes readers on a multidisciplinary journey through psychology, neuroscience, philosophy, literature, and business to share some of the surprising secrets behind the mechanics of wonder and guides readers in bringing more of it into their lives. Parker’s goal is to ignite the wonder-prone part of all us …. And maybe that offer a moment to reconnect and inspire as only moments of wonder can. We have a really detailed conversation with tangible tips on how to bring more wonder into all of our lives. Enjoy the episode!

Wed, 12 Oct 2022 08:00:00 -0000

Have you ever felt uncomfortable or not “at home” in your body? In the new book, Reclaiming Body Trust, the founders of Body Trust, licensed therapist Hilary Kinavey and registered dietician Dana Sturtevant invite readers to break free from the status quo and reject a diet culture that has taken advantage and profited from trauma, stigma, and disembodiment, and fully reclaim and embrace their bodies. Informed by the personal body stories of the hundreds of people they have worked with, RECLAIMING BODY TRUST delineates an intersectional, social justice−oriented path to healing in three phases: The Rupture, The Reckoning, and The Reclamation. Throughout, readers will be anchored by the authors’ innovative and revolutionary Body Trust framework to discover a pathway out of a rigid, mechanistic way of thinking about the body and into a more authentic, sustainable way to occupy and nurture our bodies. We have the most powerful conversation today and hope you enjoy the episode!

Dr. JB Talks Life As an Emergency Medicine Physician, How Covid Has Intensified It, & How She is Leading the Way In Helping Medical Professionals Care for Themselves

Wed, 01 Dec 2021 08:00:00 -0000

Today we have a wonderful and informative conversation with Dr. JB, a board-certified emergency medicine physician. As a frontline worker, she has collaborated with a wide variety of dedicated healthcare professionals daily and has borne witness to some of the most heartwarming and heart-breaking experiences in life. In the emergency department, she works to be your advocate and has created a YouTube channel to help families navigate the emergency room experience.

Dr. JB is also a mental wellness advocate who works to tackle the stigma associated with mental wellness in healthcare professionals that prevents them from seeking and receiving the care that they need. This led her to create “Hope4Med with Dr. JB” a podcast created to shift the paradigm in medicine and to make addressing the mental wellness needs of healthcare workers a core value. On this podcast Dr. JB delves deep into sensitive topics that are not often addressed such as burnout, the second victim syndrome, grief and bereavement, among others. We had a wonderful conversation today about emergency medicine, mental health, and Dr. JB’s own journey. Enjoy the episode!

Elinor Cleghorn Author of "Unwell Women: Misdiagnosis and Myth in a Man-Made World" Discusses Her Own Health Journey and Transforming a Culture of “Unwell Women.”

Wed, 21 Jul 2021 08:00:00 -0000

Today on the podcast we have a wonderful conversation with Elinor Cleghorn, Author of Unwell Women: Misdiagnosis and Myth in a Man-Made World. This book discusses the history of misdiagnosis and myth in women’s health. Elin’s story began 10 years ago when she was diagnosed with an autoimmune disease after a long period of being told her symptoms were anything from psychosomatic to a possible pregnancy. As Elinor learned to live with her unpredictable disease she turned to history for answers, and found an enraging legacy of suffering, mystification, and misdiagnosis. In her book, Elinor, traces the almost unbelievable history of how medicine has failed women by treating their bodies as alien and other, often to perilous effect.

Elinor has a background in feminist culture and history, and her critical writing has been published in several academic journals, including Screen. After receiving her PhD in humanities and cultural studies in 2012, Elinor worked for three years as a postdoctoral researcher at the Ruskin School of Art at the University of Oxford on an interdisciplinary arts and medical humanities project. She has given talks and lectures at the British Film Institute, where she has been a regular contributor to the education program and she has appeared on the BBC Radio 4 discussion show: The Forum. She now works as a freelance writer and researcher and lives in Sussex. We have the most incredible conversation on women’s health, advocacy, and Elinor’s own personal journey!

Wed, 23 Jun 2021 08:00:00 -0000

Today on the show we welcome Alex Caspero, co- founder, of Plant Based Juniors. Alex and her co-founder Whitney are both registered dietitians with a passion for making childhood nutrition as effortless as possible. On this episode Alex talks all about their new book, The Plant Based Baby and Toddler, which offers easy-to-digest nutritional facts and guidelines that aren't available elsewhere, with a special focus on the most important period of a child's life when it comes to developing good eating habits: infancy and toddlerhood.

On this episode we unpack myths about childhood nutrition, and discuss everything from establishing a healthy microbiome from early childhood, meeting nutrition needs through food and supplementation, and how all children, whether plant based or omnivores, can get more nutrient dense food options on their plates. This episode, although very educational for parents, has something for everyone. Even if you don’t have children, you can learn a lot from Alex’s expertise. She has a wealth of knowledge and an easy and non-dogmatic style in her approach to plant based eating. We even talk about the best way to navigate the social components of food for developing children.

Michael Rubino, Author of “The Mold Medic” Shares Tips, Tricks, and What You Should Know about Mold in Your Home

Wed, 09 Jun 2021 08:00:00 -0000

Today we sit down with Michael Rubino, an innovative expert in mold contamination and remediation and author of the book Mold Medic. Rubino and his company All American Restoration have been featured in USA Today, Reader’s Digest, New Jersey Monthly and Digital Trends. He was also selected as a speaker for the Spring 2020 Indoor Air Quality Association Meeting and Expo.

Michael has a real passion for helping people truly understand how to create a non-toxic living environment to thrive and feel their best. In this episode he provides so many good, practical tips for creating spaces with healthy air to breath, regardless of whether you are a renter, a buyer and no matter your budget.

We learned from Michael that millions of Americans struggle with the effects of mold exposure on their health and many seek out mold remediation companies but still suffer after the jobs are done due to incomplete removal of the mold.

While Michael does do mold remediation, his procedure removes all traces of mold including the spores they leave behind and the toxins produced by the mold. A person suffering from hypersensitivity to mold needs all three types of decontamination to regain their health. This episode enlightened both of us and if you breathe air everyday - you won’t want to miss this conversation! Enjoy the episode.

Wed, 14 Apr 2021 08:00:00 -0000

We got vaccinated and we recorded a podcast all about our experience! We share why we decided to get the vaccine, what made us feel safe, and how we both felt after the first + second dose.

We understand that vaccines are personal and we respect everyone’s choice to do what is best for their own body. We made our choice to vaccinate, not only for ourselves, but because we felt a responsibility to be a part of the collective public health initiative. Since we host a podcast where we discuss all things courageous wellness — we wanted to share our own personal experience with getting the vaccine!

Ashley Marie of BTR Shares How She Was Bold Tenacious and Resilient in the Face of Grief and How it Led to Delicious Whole Food Snack Bars

Wed, 07 Apr 2021 08:00:00 -0000

Today on the podcast we have an incredible conversation with Ashley Marie, founder of BTR Bar. Ashley found inspiration in an unlikely place at an unlikely time: at the hospital cafeteria. When both of her parents were diagnosed with cancer, her life turned upside down as she became their caretaker, and her own nutrition began to suffer. Ashley was devouring protein bars when she could, as many of us do, to fit in a meal or a snack. Most of the bars, she quickly discovered, were filled with sugar. After her parents passed away, she founded a bar brand based on their family mantra: Be Bold, Tenacious and Resilient. B.T.R. Bars are adaptogen-packed protein bars with the cleanest label in the category. They are plant-powered, keto-approved, paleo-friendly and free of gluten/dairy/junk. Available in Cherry Chocolate Chip, Cinnamon Cookie Dough, and Dark Chocolate Brownie, each bar boasts adaptogens that take you from AM to PM and help you either stay sharp, chill out or provide a pick-me-up.

We have been lucky enough to try BTR and they are healthy, full of clean ingredients, and absolutely delicious. My personal favorite is the dark chocolate brownie! B.T.R. is on a mission to end mindless snacking with their protein bars with a purpose. With ingredients like Lion’s Mane, cordyceps + reishi mushrooms and MCT oil, they are tasty bars that you can feel good about. Ashley has a background in food science & nutrition, and we learned so much from her in this conversation. She shares her experience with overcoming her grief and starting a company. We also have a discount code for our listeners who want to try BTR bars! You can visit: eatbtrbar.com and use code: COURAGEOUS to save 10% on your first order. You can also find the link in our show notes. Enjoy the episode.

Sydney Weiss Talks Deep Personal Transformation, Self Worth, and How to “Seek the Joy.”

Wed, 31 Mar 2021 08:00:00 -0000

Today on the podcast we sit down with Sydney Weiss, creator, host and producer of Seek The Joy Podcast. We get to explore Sydney's personal story of how she herself became a joy seeker and what led her to create her beautiful platform and community.

After dealing with a slew of health issues from shingles to appendicitis, having graduated from Law School, and failing the bar exam the first time she sat for it -- Sydney found herself in a messy hole and just didn't feel like herself.

She shares that she was in a space of shame, anger, and embarrassment, had gone through months of not listening to her body, running herself ragged, and being down right mean to herself.

This experience took a toll on Sydney, but after a moment of great inspiration she knew she wanted to create a community based on conversation where folks could share their stories, feel less alone and explore what brought them joy. Thus, Seek the Joy Podcast was born. Now, a practicing lawyer, Sydney balances her joy with the demands of her profession and explores with us how her daily rituals and routines cultivate joy for her. We thoroughly enjoyed connecting with Sydney and you can even check us out on her podcast this week by clicking here for apple podcasts and here for Spotify

Sydney is also hosting "The Joy Summit" on Saturday April 10th. Visit: www.seekthejoypodcast.com/seekthejoysummit to learn more & register for free.

Melissa Bernstein, Co-Founder of Melissa + Doug, Discusses Transforming Existential Depression, Living a Creative Life, and Her New Book (and community!) LifeLines

Wed, 17 Mar 2021 08:00:00 -0000

On Today’s episode of the podcast we have the most inspiring conversation with Melissa Bernstein. Melissa along with her husband Doug, is the Co-Founder of the toy company Melissa & Doug, which has created over 5,000 children’s products and sold billions of dollars of toys since its inception. Raised by educators, Melissa and Doug started the business in their garage in 1988, and they’ve been on a mission ever since to provide open-ended, inventive, and non-technologically driven playthings for young children. Today, we have a different conversation with Melissa about her personal lifelong battle with severe depression and anxiety, which she is chronicling in her first book, Lifelines out this month

Throughout Melissa’s remarkable career, she had kept her lifelong debilitating battle with existential depression a secret. In LIFELINES, she hopes to help others who are suffering through her beautiful poetry, support, and her own transformation which we discuss today. Melissa’s book also heralds the launch of LifeLines.com, an online ecosystem she and Doug are underwriting to provide support and community anyone else struggling with their mental health. Melissa lives in Connecticut with Doug and their six children. We do want to share a trigger warning since we do discuss depression, anxiety, and briefly cover Melissa’s experience with suicidal thoughts -- all while running a massively successful business. We truly have a beautiful conversation with Melissa and appreciate her honesty, vulnerability, and courage to share her incredible wellness journey.

Tinamarie Clark Talks Dissecting Shame Responses and Her Shift Stirrer Method

Wed, 30 Dec 2020 08:00:00 -0000

On this episode of Courageous Wellness, we sit down with Tinamarie Clark. Tinamarie is the author and creator of the Shift Stirrer Method ™ a five-step mindfulness method to get our sh*t together and shift our perception. Tina’s path as a Shift Stirrer™ traces back to her roots.

Raised in Section 8 housing by a single mother she felt branded by her circumstances and struggled with a persistent sense of shame and an all-consuming feeling of “other.” These thoughts and feeling were overwhelming, and at times debilitating. To the outside world, she presented an entirely different person: fierce, defensive, and combative. This was her family’s code of honor and most deeply-held belief: that if they were feared, no one could hurt them.

On this episode we have a deep discussion about Tinamarie's personal journey and how to apply the Shift Stirrer Method to create radical transformation in our own lives. Tinamarie also curates conversations for others to share their own stir stories™, leading them to deeper connections with self and the world around them. We are grateful to Tinamarie for sharing her beautiful and empowering story and hope it inspires you as we enter the New Year!

Sheron McFarlane, RN, Discusses Reversing a Diabetes Diagnosis and Connecting to Food, Self, and Community Through Gardening

Wed, 02 Dec 2020 08:00:00 -0000

Today on the podcast we welcome registered nurse and CW listener, Sheron MacFarlane. Sheron tells us her amazing story of how an inaccurate type one diabetes diagnosis at age 17 followed by years of up and down health issues inspired her to take her health (and blood sugar) into her own hands. Upon her own monitoring, she and her endocrinologist actually observed that she was a type 2 diabetic and that she had already begun reversing her diabetes holistically through the power of real food and small lifestyle changes. Sheron now has a business where she supports others to do the same.

One of the aspects of Sheron that is so inspirational is her connection to growing her own food. On this episode she shares with us all that she has learned from gardening, and the many ways in which her amazing garden serves herself, her family and even her community. At the end of this episode you are all going to want to go out and start your own gardens, and if you hop on over to her instagram feed @whatsheydid you will get all the inspiration you need!

Charlotte Martin Shares Breast Cancer Diagnosis, Recovery and The Importance of Early Detection

Wed, 28 Oct 2020 08:00:00 -0000

For Breast Cancer Awareness month, this week we sit down with Charlotte Martin, breast cancer survivor and advocate.

In October 2018, Charlotte was diagnosed with Stage 1 HER2 Breast Cancer at the age of 31. An extremely rare form of breast cancer, with a 1 in 10,000 chance of contraction at such a young age. Charlotte was able to detect it at an early stage, because she performed regular self breast exams. In the years leading up to her own diagnosis, her doctors had all declined to do mammogram checks, because she was quote “too young” and “healthy,” even though her own mother had suffered from Breast Cancer. What followed after her diagnosis was chemotherapy, IVF treatments, a double mastectomy -- and the large price tag and emotional toil that came with it all.

We are so grateful to Charlotte for sharing her own experience and fighting for women to have early checks, being your own health advocate, and honor breast cancer awareness month.

To learn more about Charlotte you can get in touch on Instagram at @liveloveandboobs

Stephanie is also the author of “The Best Girlfriends Ever,” inspired by Tiffanie’s own journey with Rett Syndrome.

Rett Syndrome (RS) is a debilitating neurological disorder that predominantly affects females. It is the leading genetic cause of severe impairment in girls, brought on by a single gene mutation that leads to underproduction of an important brain protein. October is also Rett Syndrome Month.

Scientist Dr. Que Collins Explains Deuterium and The Importance of Deuterium Depletion for the Prevention of Chronic Illness and Cancer

Wed, 05 Aug 2020 08:00:00 -0000

On today’s episode of Courageous Wellness, we have an incredible conversation with Dr. Que Collins, principal scientist of Deuterium Depletion Therapies and the co-founder and principal investigator, at Cignature Health Metabolic Clinic – the first clinic in the world to use deuterium and tracer technologies to describe and follow the health status of patients with metabolic disorders such as cancer, diabetes, and autoimmune disorders.

Now, if you are wondering what deuterium depletion is -- don’t worry, we had no idea either, before this conversation and our minds have been blown. Deuterium depletion is so crucial to our overall health and in this episode, Dr. Collins breaks down why we all need to be aware of this in order to prevent major diseases.

Dr. Collins shares his own personal journey and his background in cancer research, shares with us about facing the devastation of cancer in his immediate family, breaks down the science of deuterium, and enlightens us on eating for optimal health. Spoiler: Dr Collins is not dogmatic about defining or labeling what diet you follow as long as it depletes deuterium, and we don’t think listeners of this podcast will be surprised to learn what kind of diet that is. We learned so much from Dr. Collins and can’t wait for you to hear this episode.

Driven to make a difference through food, Richa launched Good Food for Good in late 2013. This was also how she found her true purpose, which she explains in this episode. She started Good Food For Good with a Buy One, Feed One Model and has proudly fed over 225,000 people to date and made a positive difference by donating over 225,000 meals.

Richa’s ardent belief in the power of real whole food and love for cooking delicious food made it easy for her to develop products -- loaded with nutrients, whole foods, and a delightful flavour making it easy for people to live healthier lives. She is actively working on reaching her goal of feeding 1 Million people by the end of 2020! Good Food for Good is a certified B Corps, and all products are made with organic ingredients free of gluten, soy, corn, refined sugars, and preservatives.

The mission of Turmeric Teas is to make it easy for everyone to enjoy the healing benefits of Turmeric. Drawing on the wisdom of Ayurveda, Turmeric Teas is inspired by the rhythms of nature and the therapeutic gifts of the extraordinary root which has been a fixture in Indian cooking.

We really loved this conversation, and hope you enjoy the episode.

Rachael Blumberg on PLATEFIT, The Health Benefits of Power Plate Technology, and Not Being Deterred by “No”

Wed, 01 Jul 2020 08:00:00 -0000

Today on the podcast we sit down with PLATEFIT creator and founder, Rachael Blumberg. On this episode we discuss Rachael’s inspiring journey in fitness, entrepreneurship, and the incredible technology of the medical grade vibrating plates that are used in the 27-minute PlateFit classes!

PLATEFIT classes are taken on medical grade devices that utilize rapid harmonic vibration — a unique means of destabilizing the body. This destabilization forces reflexive, subconscious neuromuscular action, in both muscular and connective tissue, in order to re-balance the body and maintain stability. The plates are always moving three directions at once: left to right, front to back, up and down. The vibration activates your muscle reflexes, and during the workout classes, muscles are contracting 30 to 50 times per second — roughly 900 – 1,500 contractions every 30 seconds

The benefits of the class include: increased muscle toning, serotonin, bone density, endurance, increased metabolism, lymphatic drainage and blood flow, and a decrease in cortisol levels, among many others. We are huge fans of PLATEFIT, which is fun, challenging, and allows you to break a sweat in just 27 minutes.

Rachael is widely regarded as one of the most innovative and knowledgeable Power Plate® instructors in the industry and her mission is to help individuals achieve their goals, while feeling good in their bodies and in their lives. We loved this conversation with Rachael, learned so much about the power plate technology, the ups and downs of entrepreneurship, and why you should never be deterred by "no!"

Several years ago, after dealing with a host of crippling and misdiagnosed symptoms, -- Kelly finally found a doctor who was able to properly diagnose her with Lyme disease. Even though Kelly was grateful to finally have a diagnosis, she was not prepared for the fact that there is no cure for Lyme. Eventually, she became so ill with the disease, that she had to quit her job and focus entirely on her health. On this episode, Kelly walks us through her journey with Lyme to where she is now. She also discusses alternative healing treatments, how they have helped her health drastically, and why they are so important.

Wed, 15 Apr 2020 08:00:00 -0000

Today on the podcast we welcome Catherine Arnston, CEO and founder of ENERGYbits. Catharine started ENERGYbits after her sister was diagnosed with breast cancer and advised by her oncologist that an alkaline diet would help her heal. Catharine immediately sprung into action to help her sister research alkaline foods and in the process she discovered algae.

In this episode Catharine gets down to the nitty gritty about the two types of edible algae: spirulina and chlorella, and all their incredible health benefits. We learn how algae is the most eco-friendly and sustainable crop in the world, on top of how the UN and NASA both endorsed it as the most nutrient dense food in the world. We both learned so much from Catharine - she really is a powerhouse of knowledge on algae -- and we both now incorporate ENERGYbits products into our own diets. We personally take the Vitality Bits regularly to keep our immune systems strong!

Angela Mavridis On Optimzing Her Health Through an Ancestral Eating Style and Creating TRIBALÍ Foods Through Sourcing Sustainable and Delicious Ingredients

Wed, 18 Mar 2020 08:00:00 -0000

Today on the podcast we sit down with Angela Mavridis founder of TRIBALÍ Foods! As a kid in her grandmother’s kitchen in Greece, Angela discovered the nurturing power of real foods. Angela saw her grandmother happily cooking, a naturally paleo diet, from scratch — using only real organic, local, and heirloom foods. Ironically, back in the states, Angela’s dad owned a fast-food hamburger drive-thru serving up burgers, fries, and shakes. With a busy schedule, the family ordered dinner from their restaurant more often than not. On her quest for healthier eating, Angela became a vegetarian at the age of 13.

As an adult, She was constantly bloated and tired -- and was suffering from a variety of unidentifiable health issues that were masked by modern medicine. She decided to go back to school and become a holistic nutritionist -- and after years of fueling her body with endless combinations of protein powders, shakes, supplements, and bars, she decided to return to her original way of eating when growing up in Greece.

After 35-years as a vegetarian, she came to realize that clean animal meats paired with real, ancestral ingredients made her feel better physically and emotionally. Within days, her gut and digestive issues subsided and her body started to heal. Making it her mission to capture the magic of her grandmother’s kitchen in a way that fits into today’s busy lifestyles, Angela got cooking -- and her business was born. Today, TRIBALÍ Foods seeks and sources 100% organic high-quality animal meats — from grass fed and grass finished pastured beef to free-range chicken, humanely raised pork, and wild-caught seafood — to create a flavorful, versatile, and nutrient-dense centerpieces for wholesome, satisfying meals. On this episode, Angela takes us through her incredible personal journey as we discuss all things food, diet, meat industry, and TRIBALÍ.

Grigore Madikians of Gaffer & Child on Skin Care, Self Care and Radiating In the World

Wed, 11 Mar 2020 08:00:00 -0000

On this episode we sit down with Grigore Madikians the founder and creator of Gaffer & Child, a company that uses clean skincare to inspire mindful living. Grigore shares his personal story of struggling with problem skin and the harsh chemical products he was given as treatment. Using these products ignored his own core beliefs around sustainability and how he wanted to treat his body, but was unable to find an alternative -- so he started to create his own natural skin care products!

In the last two decades of making his own natural skin-care products, he has learned so much about the farmers who sustainably grow the ingredients, the health and safety of people using the products, how we improve our local economies when we buy from businesses within our own communities, and how we show respect to the creatures we share this planet with by not using them in product testing.

In this conversation we discuss the unique Gaffer & Child products, his commitment to self care rituals through skincare and beyond, and so much more! We can’t wait for you to hear this conversation -- and also have a special discount code for our listeners.

Their hemp oils are rich in CBD and other synergistic hemp compounds which work in our body’s many systems to promote healing and natural vibrant states of being.

After a fast paced life in the boardroom and big cities, Adriaan found himself suffering with panic attacks at key high stress business moments. From there he began a two year journey of travel and self- exploration. This ultimately led him back to a life in Colorado, collaborating with his now business partner Ret, to create a company that focused on all areas of transparent business practices. Ned sources its full spectrum hemp from a local Colorado farmer, Farmer Curt — and even shares the coordinates on the bottle, so you know exactly where your Hemp is coming from. They have created Ned with a lot of love and their hope is that this natural product will be there first thing you reach for to "help you improve and feel better.” CBD does not get you high, for anyone that may still be wondering, it just provides a natural alternative to chemicals for dealing with pain and anxiety management. We had a great time chatting with Adriaan and hope you have as much fun listening as we did speaking with him!

Wed, 25 Sep 2019 08:00:00 -0000

Beauty Bar Chocolate is a sugar-free, raw chocolate bar that helps relieve stress, fights fatigue and balances hormones all while giving your skin that natural spa glow.

Living a life of in constant high stress, led to her experiencing inflammation, candida, thyroid issues, and anxiety. In order to heal, Candice left the fashion world and decided to change her life -- starting with her diet.

Her complete mind, body, and soul transformation -- which she details on this episode of the podcast -- not only healed her chronic ailments, but led her to create Beauty Bar.

Allison Evans of Branch Basics on Toxic Chemicals, Healing Chronic Illness, Endocrine Disrupters, and Green Cleaning

Wed, 31 Jul 2019 08:00:00 -0000

This week on Courageous Wellness we have an eye opening and incredible conversation with Allison Evans, the co-founder, of Branch Basics! On this episode we have a deep dialogue on toxic chemicals, endocrine disruptors, and the importance of green cleaning.

We also discuss Allison's personal journey to her work, starting from desperately seeking relief from sudden unexplained chronic pain and a loss of motor skills that over a dozen doctors could not diagnose. Fortunately, her Aunt Marilee, helped connect her physical breakdown to chemical exposure from the building materials in her newly-constructed apartment. After spending a summer living with Marilee - where everything Allison put in, on and around her body was truly clean - her symptoms disappeared and she experienced whole-body healing. She then went on to naturally reverse PCOS and, in 2016, conceive a beautiful baby girl, something doctors told her would never happen. This whole body transformation, inspired the women to create their company and spread their knowledge and mission to individuals everywhere!

Branch basics is human safe, plant and mineral based, free of harmful preservatives, biodegradable, non gmo and not tested on animals. They also minimize waste by providing refills for cleaning containers you only receive once and reuse over and over again. Branch Basics is dedicated to providing cleaning and laundry products to the public that create non-toxic home environments and cultivate good health.

Wed, 17 Jul 2019 08:00:00 -0000

This week on the Courageous Wellness podcast we sit down with Genevieve Riutort, the Chief Development Officer, of the Westside Food Bank. Westside Food Bank is an independent, non-governmental, 501(c)(3) non-profit corporation founded in 1981, which provides food to social service agencies on the Westside of Los Angeles County.

Better Booch Founders, Trey and Ashleigh, Discuss Kombucha and its Health Benefits, Career Transitions and Partnership in and out of the Work Place

Wed, 03 Jul 2019 08:00:00 -0000

Today on the podcast we sit down with Trey and Ashleigh the founders of the Kombucha company Better Booch! Better Booch was born to create a local alternative for kombucha connoisseurs who preferred the small batch approach. Better Booch has quickly grown into one of the most prominent kombucha breweries in Southern California.

Trey and Ashleigh's personal journey to kombucha began when both were enjoying successful careers as international touring musicians, but looking to make a change. Ashleigh spent the better part of 5 years backing up singers like Rihanna and Selena Gomez and Trey wrote and performed with artists such as Josh Kelley and Lady Antebellum.

Trey originally became interested in Kombucha due to its alkalizing benefits, from a recommendation by his sister, who religiously consumed the beverage through her extensive and victorious bout with cancer. Together, Ashleigh and Trey believed they could create the best tea based Kombucha on the market. This love for Kombucha, tea, and creativity also grew into a love for each other. They are now married and new parents. On today's episode we have a deep dialogue on all the health benefits of Kombucha, discuss the sugar content, and all the ways it can benefit your overall health. We also talk career transitions and partnership in and out of the work place.

Pallavi Sastry on Fibromyalgia, Living with Invisible Illness, and Destigmatizing the Dialogue

Wed, 24 Oct 2018 08:00:00 -0000

This week on Courageous Wellness, we welcome filmmaker, actress, and podcast host Pallavi Sastry!

Pallavi is the lead producer on the documentary film: INVISIBLE, which is currently in post-production. "Invisible," tells the often ignored stories of people suffering from Fibromyalgia, a syndrome that many still believe doesn’t exist. The film also exposes the fight with insurance and drug companies for proper treatment and how access to holistic health and education is determined by class and money. In this episode we go deep into Fibromyalgia, living with an invisible illness, and destigmatizing the dialogue around all physical and mental illness.

Pallavi studied musical theatre at the University of Oklahoma and is also an accomplished actress with credits on network television, film, off-broadway, national tours, and commercials. She thrives on collaborating with forward thinking filmmakers to portray the every woman regardless of race, religion, upbringing, preconceived beauty standards, or economic status.

Her own podcast "What are Friends For" (WAFF) was released yesterday! It is available everywhere podcasts can be found.
