Today's episode, I'm joined by the beautiful Tamara Renee, who is doing incredible work in the world of fascia, lymphatic health, and natural beauty. We dive into how your fascia and lymphatic system play a huge role in how your skin looks and ages. Tamara explains why supporting your lymphatic system is step one before working on fascia, and how everything in the body is deeply connected through this system. We talk about how fascia can hold physical and emotional trauma, and why releasing it can completely change how your body looks and feels. We also get into some of the tools and treatments she uses, from fascia blasting to vibrational plates, and how these can even support things like incontinence. We touch on endermology, detoxing, and how to properly support your body from the inside out. Tamara also shares how she works with women both in person and remotely, helping them restore their bodies naturally without relying on Botox or fillers. Because real beauty isn't just skin deep… it comes from what's happening underneath.

My beautiful friend Lynda Samphire joins me again for another fascinating conversation where we explore the deeper connections between mental health, sleep, and earth medicine. In this episode we talk about depression and anxiety and how natural approaches, grounding practices, and proper sleep can play an important role in healing. Lynda shares insights on why sleep is so essential for the brain, how the brain detoxifies during the night, and why protecting your sleep might be one of the most powerful things you can do for your health. We also venture into some more mysterious territory. I share a recent dream I had and Lynda helps unpack what it could mean. We discuss the vibrations some people feel just before falling asleep, what may be happening in the body during those moments, and touch briefly on topics like astral travel and altered states of consciousness. Lynda also explains the traditional use of Amanita and why many people believe it can support deeper sleep and healing. If you are curious about sleep, consciousness, earth medicine, and natural approaches to mental wellbeing, this is a conversation you won't want to miss. Lynda will also be launching a new 8-week course this fall, so if you want to learn more about her work you can reach out to her below.

Today I'm joined by Dr. Sarah Myhill, a British physician who has spent over 30 years working with chronic illness, particularly ME and chronic fatigue. Her work focuses on something most people completely overlook mitochondrial health You can find her here: Website: https://drmyhill.co.uk/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drmyhill/ She believes many chronic conditions are not random but come down to how well your cells produce energy One of the most interesting parts of our conversation was iodine Dr. Sarah's view is clear almost everyone is deficient and that deficiency can affect everything from thyroid function to mental health and long term disease risk Most people think of goiter as the sign of iodine deficiency but that's actually a late stage problem long before that, the body is already struggling Testing is not always reliable so her approach is to start low and go slowly building up carefully over time We also talk about the role of diet especially ketogenic and paleo approaches in helping rebalance the body, reduce bacterial overgrowth, and support metabolic health This is a fascinating conversation that challenges a lot of what we've been told about chronic illness and what the body actually needs to function well Have you ever looked into iodine or tested your levels? #Iodine #ThyroidHealth #MitochondrialHealth #ChronicFatigue #ME #DrSarahMyhill #FunctionalMedicine #OptimalHealth iodine deficiency, iodine health benefits, iodine and thyroid, iodine deficiency symptoms, thyroid health, Dr Sarah Myhill, Sarah Myhill, mitochondrial health, mitochondrial dysfunction, chronic fatigue, ME CFS, chronic illness, functional medicine, metabolic health, ketogenic diet, keto diet, paleo diet, iodine testing, iodine supplementation, thyroid function, optimal health, chronic fatigue syndrome, ME CFS treatment, cellular energy, bacterial overgrowth, iodine deficiency and mental health

One of the most inspiring women I've ever had on this podcast—and that's saying a lot because I've been fortunate to interview some truly incredible guests. At 74 years old, Renee Landers has just been crowned **Classic Universe Woman**, after entering her very first beauty pageant. But that's only the latest chapter in an extraordinary story. Following spinal fusion surgery, Renee didn't start lifting weights until she was 60. Then, at 69, during the COVID pandemic, she entered her first bodybuilding competition. Since then, she's competed on stages around the world, proving that it's never too late to reinvent yourself. Renee lives by one simple philosophy: **the power of saying yes**. She embraces new opportunities, takes chances, travels the world solo, surrounds herself with positive people, and refuses to let age define what's possible. In this inspiring conversation, we talk about: * Her daily routine, training, and nutrition * How she recovered from spinal fusion and built incredible strength * Her bodybuilding journey and competitions * Winning the Classic Universe Woman title * The freedom and confidence she's found through solo travel * Why saying "yes" has transformed her life If you've ever wondered whether it's too late to chase a dream, this episode is all the proof you'll ever need.

I had such a fascinating conversation with Nikolina Lauc, CEO and Co-Founder of GlycanAge. We explored what glycans actually are, what biological age really means, and why two people born on the same day can be aging at completely different rates. We also talked about how inflammation, exercise, diet, stress, PTSD, and trauma can all influence the speed at which we age—and, more importantly, what you can do to slow that process and even improve your biological age.

Today's podcast is with my friend Kaylan Gonzalez, whom I first met on the set of Magdalena's Land. He later worked with me on The Last Sun, and over time I came to learn about the extraordinary journey that completely transformed his life. Kaylan began his career as a firefighter in Gibraltar. Strong, disciplined, and dedicated, he seemed outwardly stable, yet internally he reached a point where he became mentally and physically stuck. There was a period when he could barely get out of bed for months. Before anything else changed, he attended a 10 day silent retreat in Madrid. That experience became a turning point, opening his eyes to a completely different way of understanding himself, his mind, and his purpose. Afterward, he stepped away from his former life and spent two years traveling through Central and South America. During this time, he immersed himself in learning from Indigenous communities, Mayan traditions, and shamans, exploring spiritual practices, healing rituals, and new ways of seeing the world. He also experienced a period where he spent time confined in a cell, an event that became another profound chapter in his personal transformation rather than the end of his story. In this episode, we talk about releasing trauma that the body can hold onto, whether personal, ancestral, or even rooted in birth experiences. We explore Latin American rituals, spiritual awakening, and the importance of living with joy, playfulness, and authenticity instead of staying stuck in fear or old patterns. Kaylan's message is powerful: you are never truly trapped. Even the darkest periods can become the doorway to purpose, healing, and a completely new life. This is a deeply human conversation about resilience, transformation, and rediscovering what it means to feel alive.

In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Kathleen Horstmeyer, healthcare educator and Director of Certification and Continuing Education at the Institute of Applied Quantum Biology. With a background that includes years working inside conventional medical systems, she shares the personal and professional journey that led her toward a deeper interest in natural health, environmental medicine, and the emerging field of quantum biology. We talk about how light, circadian rhythms, and our relationship with nature influence cellular function and overall well-being. Dr. Horstmeyer explains why she believes modern health challenges cannot be understood through chemistry alone, and how factors like sunlight exposure, biological rhythms, and environmental inputs play a crucial role in how our bodies regulate themselves. She also shares personal stories from her own life, including how she became interested in phototherapy technologies designed to interact with the body's natural signaling processes. Throughout the conversation, she reflects on the importance of supporting the body's innate capacity to restore balance rather than relying solely on symptom-based approaches.

In this episode, I sit down with Nat (@natthesunwhore) to talk about her incredible health transformation and the role sunlight played in changing her life. Nat shares how, after caring for her mother who suffered from Lewy body dementia, she went through a very difficult period following her mother's passing. The stress and grief eventually led to Hashimoto's, significant weight gain, and declining health, leaving her feeling exhausted and disconnected from her body. Everything began to change when she discovered the power of sunlight and circadian health. By consistently getting morning sun, afternoon sun, and doing her workouts outdoors, her body started responding in ways she never expected. Over time she lost 65 pounds, improved her energy, and began feeling better than she had in years. In this conversation we talk about: • Nat's journey through grief, autoimmune issues, and weight gain • How sunlight and circadian rhythms can influence metabolism and hormones • The role of melanin and why it matters for energy and skin health • Her supplement Sun Scoop, designed to support melanin production and help maintain a natural tan • Her 8-week group program focused on circadian health and sunlight practices • Why sunlight exposure to different areas of the body may support hormone balance Nat's story is a powerful reminder that sometimes the most fundamental elements of health — light, movement, and time outdoors — can have a profound impact on how we feel and function.

Today's podcast is a deeply personal and powerful conversation with Dr. Raluca Tiganila. She shares her story of growing up in Communist Romania with seriously ill parents, navigating hardship from a very young age, and the long journey that eventually brought her to Canada, where she fulfilled her dream of becoming a doctor. We talk about the profound loss of her mother, the pain of not being able to help her, and how that experience shaped her mission to support others facing complex health challenges. Now holding a doctorate in nutrition, Dr. Raluca focuses on digestive disorders and autoimmune conditions. In this episode, we also discuss a difficult C-Diff case and the philosophy behind her Autoimmune Reset Program.

The Science of Body Odor with Dr. Chris Callewaert What if body odor isn't something to mask… but something to understand? In this fascinating conversation, I sit down with Dr. Chris Callewaert, also known as Dr. Armpit, to explore the science behind body odor, what actually causes it, and how we can work with our biology instead of just covering it up. We dive into: • What really creates underarm odor • The role of bacteria and your unique skin microbiome • Why some people barely smell and others struggle • Natural ways to reduce odor without relying on heavy deodorants • Whether "detoxing" changes your scent • How diet, hormones, stress, and environment affect body smell We also explore something even more intriguing: disease detection through scent. Dogs have been trained to detect COVID and even certain cancers. We discuss the remarkable story of a nurse who identified her husband's Parkinson's disease years before diagnosis simply by noticing a distinct change in his scent. Different diseases can produce unique volatile compounds, and Dr. Chris explains the cutting edge research behind this. This episode goes far beyond hygiene. It's about biology, microbiomes, metabolism, and what your body might be communicating through scent. If you've ever wondered whether you really need deodorant, or if your body odor could be telling you something deeper, this one will change how you think about smell.

We dive deep into: ✨ Past lives — how reincarnation works, why we come back, and whether time is actually linear ✨ Soul contracts — are relationships pre-arranged? Do we meet the same souls over and over? ✨ Soulmates vs twin flames — what's the difference and how do these connections show up in our lives? ✨ Soul families — the idea of groups of souls meant to evolve together ✨ The mystery of time — can we come back from the future as well as the past? ✨ The ways we work through unfinished lessons and karmic patterns This conversation blends intuition with insight, and whether you're curious about spirituality, love, reincarnation, or the deeper meaning behind relationships, you'll find something in this discussion that shifts your perspective. 👉 Connect with Anne Bayford: 🌐 Website: https://www.annebayford.co.uk/ 📸 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/anne.bayford/ If you enjoyed this episode, please like, subscribe, and share it with someone who's ready to ask the big questions about life, love, and soul connections.

In this episode, I sit down with Ashlee Rowland from @simplholistic for a powerful conversation about healing, resilience, and working with the body rather than against it. We talk about mold toxicity, Hashimoto's, bone spurs, and how these conditions were addressed through a holistic, root-cause approach. Ashlee shares her personal healing journey, including how she recovered from multiple chronic health challenges and what ultimately made the biggest difference. We also dive into circadian health and circadian diets, why light, timing, and environment matter more than most people realize, and how these principles support long-term healing. We discuss stem cells, X39, and other LifeWave patches, along with Ashlee's real-world success stories using these tools. One of the most moving parts of this conversation is Ashlee's story of her son and a truly remarkable healing experience that changed everything for their family. This episode is for anyone navigating chronic illness, autoimmune conditions, or looking to understand how environment, circadian biology, and regenerative tools can support deep healing. 👉 Connect with Ashlee and Simpl Holistic: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/simplholistic/ Website: https://simplholistic.org/ If you found this conversation helpful, please like, subscribe, and share it with someone who needs hope and practical insight today.

In this episode, I share an incredible message from Jonas Böhlmark, known as the Last Viking, an extreme adventurer I met on a beach in Spain shortly after his arrival to Gibraltar. Jonas paddleboarded all the way from Norway to Gibraltar, a journey that took three and a half years. Along the way, he also took on adventure skiing challenges and ran a marathon every day. His story is extraordinary, but what makes it truly powerful is his openness about mental health. Jonas lives with bipolar disorder and uses his adventures to bring awareness to mental health and inspire others to keep going, even in their darkest moments. He has already published one book and is currently writing another to continue sharing his journey and message with the world. We also talk about the importance of nature, reconnecting with the natural world, and how time outdoors can be deeply healing for both body and mind. This is a conversation about resilience, purpose, and the quiet strength that comes from living close to nature. Follow him here: https://www.instagram.com/jonasbohlmark
