Send us Fan Mail In this episode, Joel and Rose hit the road to interview the founders of Ordinary Pioneer in Whitehouse, Ohio: Halina Schriefer and Paul Narus.    If you'd like to browse their site while listening to their insights, please go to www.ordinarypioneer.com We talk about the origins of this healing facility and community, what it's like to lean into the unknown when stepping forward as healing facilitators, the challenges and realities of starting a healing center, and the gift model economy that is used for their community programs.  We also touch on what it's like to have a center that welcomes all belief systems and walks of life in the middle of a rural conservative, primarily Christian community.    Halina and Paul have lots of stories to share, and we hope you enjoy listening to their experiences bringing healing, connection, and spiritual awareness to this community for the last five years.   Support the show Click here to visit Golden Ratio Wellness's website and use the "Become a Client" button to explore ways to work with Dr. Rose and associates on metabolic and hormonal health.

Send us Fan Mail In this episode, we sit down and chat with Dr Brandon Drabek about Traditional Naturopathy, his story about how he got to where he is professionally, what's happening currently in Ohio that can affect the practice of naturopathy on a state and national level, what it's like to be a male practitioner in a female-dominated industry, and how men and women differ in how they approach care, the difficulty of insurance vs cash pay practices (and why clients benefit from paying out of pocket). Brandon Drabek, ND, is a ninth-generation Geauga County resident raised in Parkman, Ohio, where his connection to the land and to community-based care began early. He was first inspired by his grandmother’s knowledge of plants and trees, by a great-uncle who practiced medicine after establishing his office on the family farm, and by the D.O.s who served as his family physicians in childhood. Together, those influences shaped his respect for a model of care that values nature, prevention, clinical discernment, and the whole person.  ​As Clinical Director of Geauga Holistic Rehabilitation Institute (GHRI) in Chesterland, he oversees a holistic rehabilitation approach focused on restoring function, improving resilience, and helping patients move out of recurring cycles of fatigue, metabolic dysfunction, and stress-related decline. His clinical work combines detailed case review and lab-informed insight with personalized lifestyle strategy, nervous system regulation, appropriately scaled movement, and targeted natural therapeutics. ​With 15+ years of experience and more than 10,000 post-graduate clinical hours, Brandon is recognized for meeting patients where they are, clarifying complex clinical patterns, and creating practical care plans that can be implemented in real life.

Send us Fan Mail Content Warning! This episode digs into subject matter that isn't for the faint of heart (or young ears)!   Joel and Rose had a fun, explicit, and mind-blowing conversation with Jake Miner, from Onyx Coaching as he schooled us on the truth about how we can actually optimize our health based on real science as taught by Dr. Raymond Peat.  Even better- Jake has one of those health recovery stories that truly inspires those of us looking for answers.    In addition to having all sorts of coaching certifications, Jake studied Neuroscience at Copenhagen University.  Don't let his muscles fool you, he's a science nerd, too!   Jake's story:   "Years ago, I was dealing with a host of health problems: severe hypothyroidism, estrogen dominance, sleep issues, gut problems—you name it. I saw multiple doctors, but the only solutions they offered were antidepressants (SSRIs) and testosterone replacement therapy (TRT). Desperate for answers, I tried various diets—Keto, Carnivore, Vegan—along with countless supplements, but nothing worked. My health continued to decline, with my testosterone plummeting to 206 ng/dL. I was cold, had lumps in my chest, and felt completely lost. Over the next 8 years, I turned my life around. I raised my testosterone to 1323 ng/dL, balanced my hormones, and improved my overall health. Along the way, I discovered the work of Ray Peat, which profoundly influenced my approach to health and wellness. Now, I’ve coached over 5,000 people, helping them understand the importance of metabolic health. I believe that many of our modern health issues stem from our inability to convert food into energy, instead turning it into fat. By addressing these imbalances, we can achieve the vibrant health we all desire."

Send us Fan Mail In this episode, I sit down with Amy Coleman, Respiratory Therapist and Certified Revelation Wellness Instructor, to discuss how she overcame a myriad of mid-life health problems after attending a nine week life-changing discipleship course.  She found that trauma is a root cause of illness and that the spiritual piece is often missing for those who are trying to heal.  She also discovered that healing is not a linear process, that breath work is vital, identifying and managing stress is key, that movement is a form of worship, and that "shoulding all over ourselves" gets us nowhere.    Amy now works with clients who are on a holistic healing journey and helps them to "reveal things to heal things."

On this podcast episode, Heather and Rose sit down to chat about how "celebrating the average" becomes increasingly important in this world dominated by media that puts a spotlight on perfection. Heather transitioned from a high-stress career in broadcast journalism to a career in yoga.  She discusses how she was able to take her outer persona and work on transforming and healing her inner self to match, by learning to love and embrace her body and her struggles. Heather believes in "showing up as you are," plus-size acceptance, how any body, gender, or age can be a yoga body, how pranayama ( breathing) helped her tackle anxiety, and what "yin" yoga is all about and how it helped heal a serious injury.  She shares insights from working with students of all ages and body types, and how she is working to show people that yoga really is for anyone who has the desire to learn. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Thank you to all our listeners!   Our next episode will be in August, as Rose is taking some time off.  She hopes you will consider doing the same!   :-) Support the show Click here to visit Golden Ratio Wellness's website and use the "Become a Client" button to explore ways to work with Dr. Rose and associates on metabolic and hormonal health.
