Most people think about what they put in their bodies. Almost no one thinks about what they put on them.

In this episode, I'm joined by clothing safety advocate and policy reform leader Hannah Dunning, widely known as The Clean Clothing Chick. She's a leading voice in the clean clothing movement, helping consumers understand the hidden health risks in modern apparel and pushing for transparency in an industry with very little regulation.

We discuss how chemicals in clothing interact with the body, why women are disproportionately affected by toxic exposure, the truth behind synthetic fabrics and "sustainable" materials like bamboo, and what's happening behind the scenes in both fast fashion and luxury brands. We also explore corporate accountability, supply chains, and what the future of clean fashion could look like.

Alex Conley has lived every phase of the wellness journey, from surviving childhood cancer to chasing fitness perfection to realizing that health isn't something you buy, it's something you build through integrity and awareness.

In this episode, Alex shares how years in the fitness and supplement industries exposed the cracks in our modern health system — from FDA loopholes and overprocessed supplements to the corruption of Big Food and the destruction of our soil. He explains why simplicity is the real cure, what we get wrong about hydration, and how mental health, anger, and anxiety are symptoms of a deeper imbalance in the way we live.

We also cover:

• Why only 12% of second opinions confirm the original diagnosis
• How the supplement industry gets away with harmful ingredients
• What 98% of conventional farming means for your health
• The connection between soil quality, nutrition, and mental well-being
• Why the cure has always been simple — and how to return to it

This conversation will challenge what you think you know about "wellness" and remind you that healing doesn't have to be complicated.

We're in the middle of a fertility crisis — and much of it traces back to the food we eat, the toxins we're exposed to, and the outdated prenatal nutrition advice women are still being given.

In this powerful conversation, I sit down with Lily Nichols, RDN, CDE — bestselling author of Real Food for Pregnancy, Real Food for Gestational Diabetes, and Real Food for Fertility — to talk about what women really need before, during, and after pregnancy.

We cover:

• Why preconception nutrition matters long before you try to conceive
• The nutrients that actually move the needle for fertility and pregnancy outcomes
• How to support detox pathways safely (even during pregnancy)
• The truth about gestational diabetes and the flawed glucose test
• Why postpartum depletion is so common — and how to rebuild your nutrient stores
• The emotional side of nourishment: guilt, cravings, perfectionism, and self-trust
• How traditional cultures cared for new mothers — and what we can learn from them
• Why our fertility crisis is a reflection of deeper environmental and societal breakdowns

This episode isn't just for pregnant women — it's for anyone who wants to understand how we've drifted so far from real nourishment and what it looks like to return to it.

Founder Gina Lamanna is not only a fashion stylist and entrepreneur, but also a mother of two girls who triumphed over breast cancer. Her personal journey began at age 41 when, after encountering two false-negative mammograms and a misdiagnosis, she detected her own breast cancer through self-examination. This experience served as the inspiration behind her initiative, The Fondle Project.

Gina Lamanna's battle with breast cancer propelled her to channel her love for fashion into a meaningful cause for fellow women. She firmly believes that fashion can play a pivotal role in the recovery of breast cancer survivors. By embracing and celebrating their bodies, these survivors can rediscover their self-assurance, femininity, and sensuality.

Lamanna is committed to raising awareness about early detection methods such as regular self-examinations and advocating for oneself. Her goal is to empower younger women to establish a profound connection with their bodies and overall well-being. Within her community, she has brought together resilient women who lead vibrant lives, refusing to let cancer define them. Lamanna acknowledges that cancer's impact knows no bounds and forever alters its survivors. However, she views it as a single chapter in a broader life story that remains under their control.

2020 was a challenging period for all of us, particularly for those who felt marginalized, censored, or ostracized due to holding differing opinions. Fortunately, individuals like Jamie Arrigo emerged as beacons of rationality during those bleak times, advocating for not just our own rights, but also for the well-being of the younger generation.

Jamie, a photographer, mother, wife, creative consultant, and the founder of Wake Up High Five--an online social club for "rebellious creatives"--possesses an inquisitive mind and fearlessly expresses her thoughts. She's not afraid to pose difficult questions that others may shy away from and remains resolute in her moral convictions.

I found Jamie on Instagram and was deeply inspired by her passion and ability to find humor in trying times. This episode can be a cathartic experience for those who may have felt isolated in their feelings over the past three years. It was undoubtedly a cathartic experience for me!

Spencer Doman joins me to share the life-changing philosophy behind The Doman Method, a globally respected approach to child brain development that's helped thousands of children, including those with autism and developmental delays, reach their fullest potential.

We talk about the real science of early learning, why the first three years of life are the most important for brain growth, and how everyday parents can shape their child's cognitive, physical, and emotional foundation—no degree or fancy preschool required.

Spencer explains why movement is brain-building, how screens affect speech and social skills, and what parents can do to nurture strong language, balance, coordination, and curiosity from birth. He also opens up about his grandfather Glenn Doman's pioneering work, his family's legacy, and how The Doman Method continues to transform lives today.

Whether you're a new parent, a soon-to-be parent, or raising a neurodivergent child, this conversation will inspire you to rethink everything you've been told about learning—and rediscover your power as your child's first and most important teacher.

In this episode, we discuss:

• The six pillars of early development: vision, hearing, movement, manual skills, balance, and language
• The link between tummy time, crawling, and reading
• Why real human connection—not screens—builds the strongest brains
• How parents can naturally boost their child's learning in just 10 minutes a day

If you've ever felt trapped by the traditional health insurance system—high premiums, endless bureaucracy, and the frustration of fighting for coverage—you'll want to hear this.

In this episode, I sit down with Andy Schoonover, founder and CEO of CrowdHealth, a community-powered alternative to health insurance that uses crowdfunding to pay medical bills directly. I recently became a CrowdHealth member myself and, for the first time in my adult life, happily don't have health insurance anymore.

Andy breaks down exactly how CrowdHealth works, why he built it, and what makes it different from anything else out there. We talk about:

• Why paying doctors directly creates better healthcare
• How emergencies, pregnancies, and even cancer treatments are handled
• What happens when bills reach hundreds of thousands of dollars
• Whether preventative care like acupuncture is supported
• How CrowdHealth members are incentivized to stay healthy
• And what the future of healthcare could look like if people took power back from insurance companies

Andy Schoonover is founder and CEO of CrowdHealth, a community-powered alternative to health insurance that provides a revolutionary way of paying for healthcare bills through crowdfunding. Schoonover was previously CEO of VRI, a healthcare technology company focused on monitoring patients with chronic conditions out of their homes. He is a graduate of the University of Virginia and Stanford University's Graduate School of Business.

Austin Tarzan is known for living what he teaches. As the founder of Organic Jaguar, he's created a line of products — from hair care and deodorant to shower filters and organic cotton boxers — that prove clean living can actually be done right. But his impact extends far beyond products.

Austin has become a powerful voice for a generation of men ready to reclaim their health, their strength, and their sense of purpose. A former Marine, he blends discipline with holistic wisdom, challenging the noise in the wellness industry and reminding people that true health is both physical and emotional. He talks openly about inner work, therapy, and how emotional wellness is not about weakness — it's about becoming a more grounded, resilient man.

In this episode, we dive into:

• Why Austin is almost always barefoot, and what grounding does for the body
• How sunlight and circadian rhythm practices can radically shift energy, sleep, and hormones
• The testosterone crisis: why men are struggling and how to reverse it
• The impact of porn and dopamine on men's health and relationships
• Why emotional wellness and inner work are vital for men — and how it builds strength, not weakness
• The truth about toxins: fragrances, phthalates, synthetic fibers, and hidden disruptors
• How he approaches red light therapy and other biohacking tools — what works and what's just hype
• What "holistic living" really looks like beyond products
• His long-term mission with Organic Jaguar and the community he's building

This is a raw and honest conversation about health, discipline, masculinity, and the kind of grounded lifestyle that can change the trajectory of an entire generation.

What happens when a lifelong vegan and plant-based chef begins questioning everything she thought she knew about food, farming, and sustainability?

Mollie Engelhart's journey from Sage Vegan Bistro in Los Angeles to Sovereignty Ranch in Texas is as disruptive as it is inspiring. In this episode, Mollie opens up about leaving behind a lifetime of veganism, facing backlash from her own community, and embracing regenerative farming as a path back to nature's design.

We explore why humans are the keystone species in our ecosystem, how death and rebirth play a sacred role on a farm, and why sustainability doesn't mean what most of us think it does. Mollie also speaks candidly about the reproductive health crisis affecting both men and women, her advocacy for breastfeeding, and what it looks like to raise a family aligned with natural law. Together we question collapse narratives, discuss the traps of efficiency, and imagine a future rooted not in dystopia but in abundance.

If you've ever wrestled with cultural dogma, wondered how food and farming impact the bigger picture of human health, or wanted to know what it takes to truly live in sync with the land, this conversation is one you don't want to miss.

What if the "clean" protein powder in your pantry isn't so clean after all?

In this episode, I sit down with Oliver Amdrup, founder of Puori, to unpack the shocking results of the Clean Label Project's latest protein powder study. We get into the nitty-gritty of what was actually found — from heavy metals lurking in plant and even organic powders, to why chocolate-based proteins are some of the worst offenders.

Oliver breaks down how these contaminants impact your health, why most brands don't (or won't) test deeply enough, and what sets truly transparent companies apart. We also cover the real differences between whey, plant, and collagen proteins, what role certifications actually play, and whether you should give up foods like fish or chocolate when toxins feel unavoidable.

If you've ever felt overwhelmed by the idea that "everything is toxic," this conversation is the antidote. It's equal parts eye-opening and empowering — with practical steps to help you make smarter, safer choices without fear.

In this episode, Povilas shares the personal health struggles that sparked the idea, the challenges of bringing deep tech into the wellness space, and why he believes the vagus nerve is the next frontier in health tech.

Why do we keep choosing emotionally unavailable partners, striving for perfection, or pushing ourselves to the brink of burnout?

In this episode, I'm joined by Sarah Baldwin, Somatic Experiencing Practitioner and trauma-informed coach, to explore the nervous system patterns behind perfectionism, anxious overachieving, childhood imprinting, and why we're often drawn to partners who reflect our earliest wounds. Sarah unpacks the science of parts work, how trauma shapes our adult behaviors, and what it actually looks like to feel safe in your body—not just in theory, but in daily life.

We talk about:

• Why high-achievers often feel most unsafe in stillness

• How perfectionism can be a survival strategy

• What your nervous system really wants from a partner

• How to rewire your attraction patterns through somatic healing

• What it means to build a relationship with your inner parts

What does it mean to raise a child who trusts themselves while also healing the parts of you that were never given that chance?

In this conversation, I sit down with Sterna Suissa, parenting coach and trauma-informed educator, to explore how our own childhood experiences shape the way we show up as parents. We unpack the subtle ways control sneaks in, why respecting a child's "no" is the foundation for lifelong self-trust, and how to repair when we inevitably miss the mark.

And this isn't just for parents! Even if you don't have kids, this is a deeply healing conversation about being human. Every single one of us was once a child, raised by people who made mistakes. Sterna's insights on boundaries, emotional safety, and self-trust will help you reflect on your own upbringing and begin to reparent yourself with more compassion.

I'm talking about something we're rarely allowed to admit: I don't care about everything anymore, and choosing that has made me healthier.

We've been taught that being a "good person" means emotionally absorbing every crisis, headline, and injustice. The result is empathy fatigue, chronic stress, and nervous systems that never get a chance to reset.

I unpack why carrying the emotional weight of the world isn't empathy, it's ego. Why caring beyond your ability to act is psychologically irrational. How doomscrolling and outrage culture are draining our mental and physical health. And why boundaries are a form of humility, not apathy.

We also explore what real nervous system regulation looks like beyond meditation: sleep, blood sugar balance, relationships, attention hygiene, and building a life your body can relax inside.

If you're exhausted by the news cycle, overwhelmed by social media, or craving more peace and clarity, this episode is for you.

Mike Feldstein is back on on the podcast, but this time, we're not just talking air purifiers. Mike, founder of the Jaspr Air Scrubber (stronger than an air purifier!), is building a first-of-its-kind school that puts children's health, development, and connection to nature at the center of education.

We explore how traditional school systems may be working against kids' well-being and what can be done to change that—from aligning school schedules with natural circadian rhythms, to integrating values-based learning, clean air, and nature into the daily curriculum.

This conversation will open your eyes to how deeply our environment impacts children, and how a school designed for health first could transform not just learning, but life.

Topics we cover:

• How indoor air quality affects children's health, focus, and behavior

• The difference between an air scrubber and a traditional air purifier

• Ways healthier classroom environments can reduce illness and absenteeism

• The link between circadian rhythms and cognitive performance

• Why nature-based education is powerful for kids' growth and resilience

Most dog parents are doing their best—but what if the "normal" routines we've been told to follow are actually making our dogs sicker?

This week, I'm joined by Bre Drake, holistic pet health educator and founder of Tailswell Health, for a no-fluff conversation that challenges the modern pet care model. Bre breaks down how overvaccination, early spay/neuter, kibble, flea meds, and toxic environments are disrupting dogs' health at the root—and what it looks like to raise a truly resilient dog in today's world.

We talk about her own wake-up call after losing two dogs to cancer, and how that grief fueled her mission to educate and empower others. You'll walk away with a fresh lens on terrain theory, practical detox tools, and the confidence to ask better questions at the vet's office.

Whether you're new to holistic pet care or you've already started questioning the system, this episode will meet you where you are—and give you tools to move forward.

What We Cover:

• The spay/neuter debate: risks, myths, and hormone-sparing alternatives

• Rethinking the vaccine schedule: titers, immunity, and informed consent

• Why kibble is keeping dogs inflamed and undernourished

• The terrain theory approach to Lyme, cancer, and chronic disease

• Natural strategies for detox, hydration, and nervous system support

In this episode, I sit down with Christina O'Connor, RD, Senior Healthcare Account Manager at Pendulum Therapeutics, to explore one of the most fascinating—and overlooked—players in gut health: Akkermansia muciniphila.

Christina shares how Pendulum became the first company in the U.S. to commercialize live Akkermansia, a keystone probiotic strain with far-reaching effects on blood sugar, weight, mood, inflammation, and energy.

Topics we cover:

✅ How gut health is at the root of not just digestion, but metabolic health, immune resilience,
mood, energy, and longevity.
✅ Why live Akkermansia muciniphila — a next-generation probiotic strain Pendulum
pioneered — is transforming the way we approach gut and metabolic care.
✅ Why the question people should be asking isn't "What's the best probiotic?" — but rather
"What probiotic supports metabolic health? Because that's the best probiotic."
(Hint: the answer is Pendulum.)

✅ How Pendulum is bridging ancient wisdom around gut health with cutting-edge science,
backed by clinical studies and rigorous manufacturing.
✅ How caring for the gut can help people better navigate blood sugar balance, cravings,
healthy weight, energy, digestion, sleep, and mood.

Whether you're dealing with blood sugar imbalances, unexplained fatigue, emotional ups and downs, or weight plateaus, this episode will expand the way you think about gut health.

What if your home is the reason you're not healing?

In this episode of the Healing The Source Podcast, I'm joined by Brian Karr, co-founder of We Inspect and one of the nation's leading experts on mold inspection and environmental toxins. Brian breaks down the often-overlooked role that mold plays in chronic illness—from anxiety and fatigue to brain fog, asthma, and even behavioral issues in kids.

We talk about what conventional inspectors miss, how mold can hide in brand-new homes, why your HVAC might be spreading more than just cool air, and how to actually know if your remediation worked.

This episode is for anyone who's ever had "mystery symptoms" that doctors couldn't explain, for families trying to keep their kids healthy, and for anyone who just wants to make sure their home is a place of healing—not harm.

We cover:

• Neurological symptoms of mold exposure

• Why mold makes some people sick and not others

• Early signs of hidden mold in the home

• Why air testing often fails

• What to do if your landlord ignores the mold

• Fridge water, dust, and other unexpected sources

• How to test yourself for mold exposure

• The truth about bleach, duct cleaning, and air purifiers

You don't need more stimulants. You need better blood flow.

In this episode, I'm joined by Ilan Sobel, CEO of BioHarvest Sciences, to talk about the future of plant-based medicine—and how VINIA®, their flagship red grape cell product, is helping people unlock what they call blood flow energy.

VINIA works by increasing nitric oxide (NO) and reducing Endothelin-1 (ET-1)—a protein that causes blood vessels to constrict. The result? Relaxed arteries, improved circulation, and more oxygen and nutrients delivered to your cells. Backed by clinical trials, VINIA helps support:
• Physical energy and endurance
• Sharper mental alertness
• Faster cellular detox
• Better cardiovascular performance

We discuss:
🍇 The science behind piceid resveratrol—and why it's superior to traditional forms
🧬 How BioHarvest grows only the bioactive plant cells using Botanical Synthesis
🩸 Why blood flow is foundational to hormone health, detox, cognition, and longevity
☕ How their VINIA decaf coffee boosts mental clarity without caffeine
🌍 How this clean biotech approach is scaling plant medicine sustainably—without soil, pesticides, or GMOs
