Up to 80 to 90 percent of lip products may contain microplastics. Ingredients banned in food are legally present in products applied directly to the lips. And the fastest growing market for these products is girls between the ages of nine and seventeen.

In this conversation, I sit down with Laura D’Alamo, a clean beauty innovator and attorney who survived triple-negative breast cancer and then spent two years investigating what is actually in the lip products most people use without a second thought.

Laura shares what she uncovered, what the Lip Service Alliance is doing about it, and how the choices you make as a consumer are one of the most direct ways to drive real industry change.

A study published in Nature Medicine found microplastics in one hundred percent of healthy human brains tested.

The average brain contained roughly seven grams of plastic, about the equivalent of a plastic spoon. And in brains affected by dementia, the concentration was ten times higher.

The science is moving fast enough that the U.S. government just launched a $144 million initiative specifically to study the effects of microplastics on the human body.

In this solo episode, I break down what the research actually shows, how nanoplastics are crossing the blood-brain barrier, what endocrine-disrupting chemicals like BPA, PFAS, and phthalates are doing once they get inside your tissues, and the practical steps you can take right now to meaningfully reduce your exposure.

Knowing what to buy is one thing. Knowing how to navigate a real grocery store in real time is another.

That is exactly what this new Patreon series is about. I am taking you inside the grocery store with me, walking the aisles, and showing you exactly what I look for, what I avoid, and how to make smarter choices without overhauling your entire life or blowing your budget.

This series lives exclusively on Patreon where we can go deeper, get more specific, and build something genuinely useful together. Head to the link in my bio to join.

The body was built to move, to engage, to be challenged. Honoring that is not just about fitness. It is about showing up fully for your life.

I train with my friend, the surf god Laird Hamilton, who said something wise while we were working out: “Do what you can’t do, so you can do more of what you want to do.””

That stuck with me. It means we should try new, hard things, and movements that challenge our weaknesses. That’s the only way we’ll get stronger.

The ability to respond, to play, and to show up for life, are the reasons I challenge myself when I work out. I don’t want to be limited by what my body can and can’t do. I want a super life!

Healing does not always begin in a therapist’s office. Sometimes it begins in a coffee shop, in a grocery line, or in the moment you finally call someone who changed your life and tell them exactly what they meant to you. The small acts of genuine human connection that most of us swallow every single day.

In this solo episode, I talk about why vulnerability has become one of the rarest and most powerful things a person can offer in a world that has quietly trained us to keep our guard up and our phones in our hands.

Vulnerability is not about being fearless. It is about being willing. Willing to go first, to say the real thing, to see the person in front of you and let them know they were seen.

That is where connection begins. And connection, it turns out, might be the most underrated medicine we have.

Life doesn’t happen to you,it happens for you.
I didn’t want the injury. But it course-corrected me in a way nothing else could have. The struggle revealed more of who I am and what I actually wanted. That’s why I’m grateful for ALL of it, not just the good, but the hard stuff too. Especially the hard stuff. Grateful for David and Jules, and for Manna — born from a vision to help humans experience their bodies at the highest level. That mission hits different when you’ve had to fight your way back to yours.

The GLP-1 drug phenomenon is one of the fastest growing trends in modern medicine, and the conversation around it rarely goes deeper than before and after photos.

In this conversation, I sit down with physician and metabolic health expert Dr. Dan Reardon for an honest look at what is really going on. We talk about the hidden side effects that are not making headlines, why most GLP-1 users are simply eating less junk food rather than building genuinely healthier habits, and what happens to the body when people stop taking the injections.

We also get into the pharmaceutical incentives driving mass prescriptions and why so many experienced physicians are quietly refusing to prescribe these drugs.

The reactions that keep sabotaging your relationships, your peace, and your health are not character flaws. They are survival patterns that were written into your nervous system before you were old enough to have any say in the matter.

Between the ages of zero and eight, the brain operates in a state similar to hypnosis, absorbing everything in the emotional environment as fact. How safe love felt. Whether your needs were consistently met. How the adults around you handled stress, conflict, and emotion. All of it became code that your nervous system is still running today, often without you even realizing it.

In this solo episode, I go deep into the neuroscience behind childhood programming, what the ACE Study revealed about the connection between early adversity and chronic disease, how trauma lives in the body rather than just in memory, and why so many patterns we mistake for personality are actually adaptive responses created by a younger version of ourselves trying to survive.

Researchers noticed that dolphins with higher levels of a specific fatty acid were living longer, sleeping better, and showing stronger metabolic markers. That fatty acid was C15, the first essential fatty acid identified in over 90 years, and Dr. Stephanie Venn-Watson turned that discovery into one of the most rigorously researched supplements I have come across.

Better sleep, improved cellular health, and longevity markers backed by hundreds of peer-reviewed studies. Nature and science pointing in the same direction.

Common sense says that we will take actions that benefit us and avoid ones that hurt us. In most aspects of our lives, that’s how we operate. But not when it comes to the most important part of life, our health. It’s hard to figure.

The weird part is that while science keeps proving how exercise will help us live longer and healthier, we respond by getting less of it.

We’re too comfortable living our sedentary life.

Here’s what I recommend you do: find ways to make it uncomfortable for you to sit down and do nothing. Find incentives that make it easier for you to get up and get moving and harder to stay seated in front of your television.

In this conversation, I sit down with wellness educator and author Andi Lew to explore what it actually means to trust the innate intelligence of the body.

We talk about chiropractic philosophy, how emotional trauma shows up as physical illness, why symptoms are often signs of healing rather than dysfunction, and how disconnecting from our natural instincts as parents, patients, and human beings has created a generation of people who no longer know how to listen to themselves.
