Everyday Ancestral with James Barry

Content note: this episode discusses domestic abuse. If you need support in the US, the National Domestic Violence Hotline is 1-800-799-7233. Outside the US, findahelpline.com lists services by country. The advice for women arrives as a label. Trad wife, boss babe, soft girl era. Pick one and build a life around it. Tracey Martin says the labels are what leave women lost, because a woman who does not fit one starts to believe something is wrong with her. I asked her what the trad wife movement gets wrong about resilience, why so many women lack the confidence to make decisions for their own families, and what she tells women in their fifties who are exhausted from trying to do it all. Tracey is a transformational life coach who has spent more than 30 years working with families.

Losing muscle as you age gets treated as something that just happens to everybody. Dr. Thomas Hemingway calls that a big miss of Western medicine, and says the loss is common without being inevitable. He is a board certified physician who helps people become biologically 10 to 20 years younger, and he says he wants to still be surfing at 100. I asked him what keeps a body capable rather than just alive: why he calls muscle the organ of longevity, what a large metabolism study actually found about slowing down after 30, and why 10 minutes of walking after each meal may beat one longer walk. He also makes the case for community as the longevity factor the blue zones conversation underplays.

And what if the earliest signs of chronic disease show up in your mouth first? Dr. Sanda Moldovan is a periodontist, nutritionist, and leader in biological dentistry. We’re talking about how the mouth reflects the health of your whole body, hidden dangers in toothpaste, and how cavities can heal with the right foods. We also uncover the ancestral roots ( intended ) of true oral health. Dr. Sanda is the founder of Beverly Hills Dental Health and Wellness and creator of the Oral Microbiome Reset. Her work bridges the gap between dentistry and full-body healing. Key Takeaways Toothpaste Isn't Cleaning – Most brands contain glycerin that coats the teeth and blocks mineral absorption. Tooth Powder Works Better – Ancestral oral care used abrasive powders that support real cleaning and stronger enamel. Cavities Can Heal – Small cavities in the enamel can remineralize when the right nutrients and oral environment are in place. The Mouth Mirrors the Gut – Signs like bleeding gums and inflammation often point to gut dysfunction and poor nutrient absorption. Sticky Foods Feed Bacteria – Processed carbs like crackers and cookies cling to teeth and fuel cavity-causing bacteria. Ancestral Foods Strengthen Teeth – Organ meats, butter, fish liver oil, and leafy greens provide fat-soluble vitamins needed for mineralization.

What if the voice running your life wasn’t actually yours? In this episode, I sit down with Michael Bernoff, speaker, transformation expert, and a dear friend, for a conversation that gets under the surface of how modern life has quietly rewired our instincts. From the words we use to the thoughts we allow, we explore how our language, our devices, and our conditioning have shaped us and how to take our power back. Michael’s not here to motivate. He’s here to reveal the operating system we’ve all been running and teach us how to rewrite it. This one’s about reclaiming your mind, your language, and your sense of self so you can live with more clarity and purpose in a world that’s constantly trying to hijack your attention. Key Takeaways Modern Mind Hijack – Billions are spent to steal your focus and shape your behavior. Language as Programming – The words you use program your beliefs, emotions, and outcomes. Reclaiming the Unconscious – Many of your thoughts are installed, not chosen. Attention Is the Battleground – To stay grounded, you have to market to yourself first. Awakening vs. Avoidance – Living awake means being intentional, not off-grid. Ancestral Design for Modern Life – Your nervous system was built for meaning, not media.

We spend so much time trying to control food, manage weight, and fix our bodies, yet so many people still feel stuck. This episode is about why that happens. In this conversation, I sit down with Jennifer Powter to talk about the deeper patterns underneath weight struggles, emotional eating, and self-sabotage. Jennifer has spent decades working with women who feel exhausted by dieting and disconnected from their bodies. She’s also lived this journey herself, which brings a level of honesty and groundedness that’s hard to fake. We explore why weight is often a symptom rather than the root issue, how diet culture trains us to distrust ourselves, and what it actually takes to build emotional resilience in a modern world that constantly pulls us out of alignment. This episode is about responsibility, integrity, and learning how to support yourself in a way that lasts. Key Takeaways Weight Reflects the Deeper Story – Lasting change begins when we see weight gain as a signal of emotional or relational imbalance. Diet Culture Undermines Healing – Restriction and shame erode body trust and keep people stuck in cycles of control. Emotional Hunger Isn’t About Food – Cravings often point to unmet needs like stress, loneliness, or overwhelm. Radical Responsibility Reclaims Power – Health shifts when we stop outsourcing solutions and own our daily choices. Resilience Is Built Daily – Real health comes from consistent, small practices rather than dramatic resets. Proximity Shapes Identity – The people you surround yourself with influence your habits, beliefs, and self-trust.

I’ve spent years questioning food, farming, and the systems that feed us, but I had never once questioned the glass and the light I stare at every day. I thought it was just the apps trying to keep us hooked. I didn’t realize the hardware itself was engineered to do the same thing. Tristan Scott is an electrical engineer and the Head of Hardware and Marketing at Daylight Computer Co. He’s taken a deep dive into how blue light, flicker, and EMFs affect our biology, and this conversation changed how I see the tech around me. He helped me understand that our screens are designed, intentionally or not, to hijack our attention and stress our nervous systems. From the form factor to the light spectrum to how and where we use them, these devices are rewiring our brains. We talk about the Las Vegas effect, why your phone is like a slot machine, why natural light matters, and how hard it is to put the device down when the environment itself is engineered to keep you on it. But this isn’t about going back to the stone age. It’s about creating a new relationship with tech, one that works with our biology, not against it. Key Takeaways Screen Light Is Biological - Blue, flickering light disrupts dopamine and circadian rhythms. Hardware Matters - Device design itself drives addiction and overstimulation. Flicker Fatigue Is Real - Invisible screen flicker stresses the nervous system. EMFs Affect Physiology - Wireless signals impact cellular and mitochondrial health. Indoor Tech, Outdoor Body - Tech built for indoors clashes with outdoor-evolved biology. Designing Healthier Tools - The Daylight Computer supports natural light and focus.

I sat down with John A. Richardson Jr. for a conversation exploring alternate cancer perspectives, the history of Vitamin B17, also known as amygdalin, and how these ideas have been discussed over time. John shares his personal background, the work of his father, Dr. John A. Richardson MD, and how these experiences shaped his interest in nutrition, health, and non-mainstream approaches to wellness.What stood out to me most was how openly John speaks about his perspective on the “C word” and why he believes conversations around cancer, metabolism, immunity, and lifestyle deserve broader discussion. We talk about why some viewpoints are controversial, how certain ideas have been challenged or removed from public platforms, and why curiosity around root causes continues to spark debate.As always, this conversation is shared for educational and discussion purposes only and reflects personal experiences and viewpoints. It is not medical advice, and listeners should consult qualified healthcare professionals regarding any health-related decisions.Key Takeaways Cancer as Metabolic Dysfunction – Some practitioners explore cancer through the lens of metabolism and immune function. The B17 Conversation – Amygdalin and apricot seeds continue to spark interest in alternative healing spaces. Censorship in Wellness – Certain health topics face removal or moderation on major platforms. Root Cause Perspectives – Immunity, detox, and nutrition are central to ancestral-minded health approaches. The Power of Story – Personal health journeys shape belief and curiosity around healing paths. Ancestral Nutrition Revisited – Traditional foods are being reclaimed for their role in true nourishment. Links & ResourcesOperation World Without Cancer’s Website: https://www.owwc.org/🎁 Try Pluck Superfood SeasoningsGet 20% off your first order with code EA20 at https://www.eatpluck.com — real flavor, real nutrients, no junk.

2025 was a year of deep internal shifts. Margaret and I weren’t chasing big external milestones like the year before, yet something far more lasting took place. Margaret stepped away from her work for a full 10-week sabbatical and fully exited her professional life during that time. From there, everything began to change for her, for me, and for our whole family. We talked openly about burnout and what happens when you keep pushing past your own limits for too long. We shared the moment our daughter told Margaret she felt like she was never around, and how that landed with real weight. We also reflected on our experience with Shark Tank and how it surfaced deeper questions about purpose, pace, and why we are building what we are building. This year asked us to slow down, listen, and repattern from the inside out. As Margaret says, it was about becoming unrecognizable in a way that finally felt true. Key Takeaways Internal Rewiring Matters - 2025 was about deep, unseen transformation at the core level. Burnout Hides Well - You can look high-functioning and still be deeply depleted inside. Rest Isn’t Weak - A 10-week sabbatical revealed more strength than any achievement list. Identity Is Layered - Letting go of the “doer” created space for truer purpose to emerge. Traditional Roles Evolve - Our family rebalanced in a way that felt ancestral and modern. Kids Reflect Truth - When our daughter said “you’re not around,” it hit like a freight train.

You’ve heard me talk a lot about food. Nose-to-tail, organ meats, ancestral living. But the truth is, we’re now dealing with stuff our ancestors never had to face. Microplastics are in our water, in our food, even in our blood. And that means we need to bring in new tools. Dan Powers is the founder of Utzy Naturals. He’s a husband, a father of five, and someone who’s always believed in the power of whole foods, movement, sleep, and doing things right. But when he read a study in the New England Journal of Medicine linking microplastics in the blood to cardiovascular issues, something shifted. He went deep into the research and started building a product to help support the body’s detox process. We talk about what these tiny plastic particles are, how they’re getting into our systems, and what they’re doing once they’re in there. And more importantly, we talk about what we can actually do about it, without fear, stress, or chasing perfection. Key Takeaways Whole Foods Won’t Cut It Alone - Dan shares how clean eating was no longer enough once he understood how microplastics impact the body. Microplastics Are in the Blood - After reading new research on cardiovascular effects, Dan began taking this threat seriously. Toxins Are a Daily Exposure - These particles are in our food, water, air, and even sea salt, building up over time in the body. We Need Practical Detox Tools - Dan talks through how he approached building a supplement that could support the body’s natural detoxification process. You Can Take Action Without Perfectionism - It’s not about fear or doing everything right. It’s about being realistic and consistent. Resilience in a Toxic World - The focus isn’t just removal. It’s about strengthening our body’s capacity to handle what we’re exposed to every day.

There’s something about building from the floor up that changes a person. For Robert Sikes, that’s not a metaphor. He and his wife Crystal literally slept on the floor of a warehouse while starting their business. I remember meeting him early in Pluck’s journey, before this podcast even existed, and feeling the conviction behind everything he shared. He’s one of the first people who believed in what I was doing. The way he lives is focused, disciplined, and completely dialed in. It left a lasting impression. Robert is a lifetime natural bodybuilder and the founder of Keto Brick. He’s also someone who doesn’t do “cheat days”. Not just with food, but with life. He talks about keto the way other people talk about spirituality or craft. It’s not a tool for fat loss. It’s a foundation for clarity, discipline, and building something real. We talked about how fatherhood has shifted his priorities, what it means to truly grind with purpose, and why simplicity is one of the most overlooked superpowers. This conversation is not about macros or performance. It’s about doing what you say you’ll do, letting the hard things forge you, and showing up for the people who matter most. Key Takeaways No Cheat Days – For Robert, consistency around food is about mental clarity and alignment with purpose. Brick By Brick – Keto Brick was born from necessity and vision, developed on a warehouse floor with his wife by his side. Discipline Is A Practice – Removing distractions and limiting choices has allowed Robert to go all-in on the things that matter most. Fuel Like It Matters – Keto isn’t a short-term strategy. It’s how he unlocks focus, endurance, and presence every day. Legacy Mindset – Fatherhood didn’t slow Robert down. It gave every hustle a reason. Keep It Simple – Whether it’s business, food, or fitness, doing less and doing it with intention creates the space to do it better.

What happens when we start with kids, a chalkboard, and a Hot Pocket? For Ali Miller, the answer is empowerment. Ali Miller is a functional medicine dietitian with a deep passion for helping people reclaim their health through food. We talked about how ancestral food practices have been lost, particularly in communities where connection to the food system used to be the strongest. She shared what it was like working in underserved school districts, teaching kids how to caramelize onions, crush garlic, and taste real marinara. Those kids went home and changed the way their families ate, not because someone gave them access, but because they were given tools and knowledge. We also got into what it means when we subsidize soda and fund Ozempic prescriptions for 8-year-olds. These systems are keeping people dependent, while ancestral ways of living offered connection, nourishment, and resilience. Ali has spent her career showing people how to step out of that trap. Her message is clear: real food heals, and reclaiming your kitchen is one of the most powerful things you can do. Key Takeaways Food Sovereignty Starts at Home – We’ve outsourced nourishment for too long. Reclaiming health means cooking, connecting, and getting our hands back in the soil. Disempowerment Is a Lie – Telling people they don’t have access to real food often becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy. Education and exposure are powerful tools for change. Systems Are Failing Our Kids – When we’re subsidizing soda and prescribing Ozempic to 8-year-olds, it’s clear our priorities are backward. Education Is the Gateway – Teaching kids where food comes from and how to prepare it unlocks a new level of health, confidence, and agency. Convenience Is the New Oppression – We've been sold the myth that faster is better. But ancestral health thrives in the slow, intentional rhythms of the kitchen and garden. Food Is Medicine, Culture, and Connection – The ancestral plate isn’t just about nutrients. It’s about relationships, traditions, and the stories we pass down.

What Bren Smith is doing with the ocean is what we’ve been trying to do on land. He’s reanchoring our food system to something alive, something real. And the wild thing is, he’s growing food that doesn’t require any freshwater, fertilizer, or land. Bren’s a former commercial fisherman who’s now leading the way in regenerative ocean farming. He’s got this deep blue-collar wisdom and a whole lot of practical invention. We talk about what it means to make a living on a living planet, the connection between soil and sea, and why kelp just might be one of the most powerful tools we have to fight climate change. I loved this conversation. It’s a different kind of farming, but it’s the same fight. He’s on the water. I’m on the land. But we’re both trying to reconnect people to the systems that feed us and keep us alive. Key Takeaways Farming The Ocean Is Farming The Future - Regenerative ocean farming uses no land, no freshwater, and no fertilizer, but still provides real food and helps the climate. Kelp Builds Resilience - It pulls carbon from the air, filters nitrogen, and brings life back to the ocean. Blue Collar Innovation Matters - Fishermen and farmers carry deep ancestral knowledge and practical solutions. We just need to pay attention. The Food Movement Should Feel Like Home - Whether you work with soil or seaweed, there’s a place for you if you care about feeding people well. We Need Jobs Worth Singing About - Bren is focused on creating work that’s meaningful, rooted in place, and tied to something bigger. The Ocean Is An Ally - If we work with it the right way, the ocean can actually help heal the planet and feed us at the same time.

Do you ever feel overstimulated, disconnected, or out of sync? Debra Joy joins me for a powerful conversation about nervous system regulation, spiritual alignment, and the importance of honoring natural rhythms. We explore how media and modern noise disrupt our sense of safety, and how small, intentional shifts can help us reconnect, calm the body, and move through the world with more presence and peace. Debra is a Leadership and Performance Coach who helps entrepreneurs, executives, and creatives achieve success in a way that feels good—calm, confident, and deeply aligned. After co-founding three businesses and a non-profit, she learned firsthand that working harder isn’t the path to meaningful success. Over the past 17 years, she has supported leaders across industries using a unique blend of business strategy, nervous-system regulation, and somatic trauma healing. With a Master’s in Leadership & Training and certification as a Somatic Experiencing® Practitioner, her work empowers clients to break old patterns, access their true strengths, and create results with less stress and more joy. Deb shares her own story, how a lifetime of impact-driven work, fueled by love but unknowingly shaped by trauma, eventually led her body to say, “Nope, this isn’t working.” She got so ill she was told she might never work again. What changed everything wasn’t a quick fix. It was living at the pace of nature, tasting food that was truly alive, and feeling the ground beneath her feet. Her healing journey is a reminder that presence can be deeply pleasurable, and real success doesn’t require self-sacrifice. If your nervous system is craving a reset, this one’s for you. Key Takeaways Authentic Success Starts In The Body – If you’re hustling your way to burnout, you might be bypassing the real wisdom you need to thrive. Presence Is A Pleasure Practice – True presence doesn’t have to be serious or silent; it can be sensual, playful, and deeply nourishing. Trauma Hides In Achievement – Many of us overwork not because we love the grind, but because we don’t feel safe resting. Nature Sets The Pace – Reconnecting with slower, seasonal rhythms can help reset the nervous system and shift how we relate to time, success, and self-worth. Modern Life Is Overstimulating By Design – Learning to regulate your nervous system isn’t just self-care, it’s a radical act of reclamation. Success That Feels Good Is Possible – When you combine business strategy with body wisdom, you can create results that are sustainable, aligned, and joyful.

Seventy-six percent of Americans are living with chronic illness. That statistic alone tells us we’re facing something much bigger than personal health struggles. In this conversation with Dr. Chris Turnpaugh, we explore what’s broken in our current medical model and why so many people with complex symptoms are being overlooked. Dr. Turnpaugh brings decades of experience in functional neurology and systems-based medicine, with a track record of uncovering root causes where others only treat symptoms. We get into topics like mold toxicity, autoimmunity, long-haul infections, and the environmental factors that silently shape our health. Dr. Turnpaugh shares why symptom management isn't enough, and why taking ownership of your health journey is more important than ever. This is a grounded and eye-opening conversation that reconnects us to the deeper story our bodies are telling and gives us practical insight into how to finally move toward real healing. Key Takeaways Modern Medicine Misses the Roots – Most doctors are trained to treat symptoms, not to understand why those symptoms exist in the first place. Our System Wasn't Built for Chronic Illness – More than 76% of Americans have a chronic disease, but our medical system was only trained to handle acute care. The Body Is A System, Not A Set of Silos – True healing requires a whole-body lens; separating specialties by organ system breaks down in chronic illness. You Must Be Your Own Advocate – In today’s world, taking responsibility for your health journey isn’t optional. It’s essential. Ask Better Questions – Health starts with curiosity. “How did I get here?” and “How do I not end up here again?” Environment Is Medicine – From mold to mindset, the environments we live in and the inputs we consume are silently shaping our biology every day.

You’re a college student at UCLA, juggling five jobs, running an aerobics studio, and training clients before personal training was even a profession. Then one morning in Brentwood, someone follows you out of a coffee shop and pitches a shady modeling gig at the Hotel Bel Air. That moment could have gone sideways. But JJ Virgin had already learned how to set boundaries, read a room, and trust her gut. That instinct shaped everything she built after. JJ didn’t just survive in a male-dominated industry. She helped build it. Back when gyms didn’t even have trainers, she was dragging clients to Gold’s and lifting heavy right alongside them. She breaks down how strong boundaries are the most underrated biohack in women’s health, why female trainers often get better results with male clients, and how honoring your intuition can change everything. JJ shares what it means to be a powerful woman in an industry that wasn’t built for you. We talk through her early years training celebrities, the health myths still keeping women stuck, and what midlife wellness really looks like when you stop outsourcing your power. From ancestral nutrition to the most underrated biohack-of-all-boundaries, JJ offers up the kind of no-fluff wisdom that only comes from living it. If you’re navigating change, craving clarity, or ready to take charge of your health and identity, this conversation will light a fire under you. Key Takeaways Boundaries Build Power – JJ shares how strong, early boundaries helped her thrive in a male-dominated fitness industry and avoid common traps. Women Are Built for This Work – From her perspective, women are naturally suited to train both men and women, and often get better results because of it. Don’t Outsource Your Authority – JJ urges us to stop blindly trusting experts and instead step into our own discernment, especially around health. Energy Management Is a Skill – Drawing firm lines is not just a safety measure. It is a way to preserve energy for the work and people that matter. Resilience Is a Practice –  JJ shares how showing up to speak on stage just weeks after her son’s near-fatal accident helped her discover a deeper strength she didn’t know she had. Women in Wellness, Know Your Worth – JJ’s success came not just from talent but from refusing to play small. She wants every woman to claim that space too.

What if plant medicine isn't an escape, but a return? What if our modern fear of altered states says more about our trauma than it does about the medicine itself? I sat down with Sitaramaya Sita, someone who has spent decades walking the path between science and spirit. She’s deeply trained, trauma-informed, and rooted in multiple healing lineages. We explored the misuse of language around plant medicine, how ancestral traditions relate to altered states, and why the Western lens so often flattens the complexity of these experiences. Sitaramaya shares her experience guiding master plant dieta in the Amazon, her training in Vajrayana Buddhism and Traditional Tibetan Medicine, and what it means to honor healing as both sacred and deeply embodied. We also explore why so many of us struggle to trust slowness, integration, and our own inner knowing. This conversation is about more than entheogens. It’s about remembering how to be human. Key Takeaways Plant Medicine is Ceremony, Not a Shortcut – True healing is relational, reverent, and rooted in tradition. It is not transactional. Integration is Medicine – The most powerful part of the journey isn’t the ceremony itself but how you live after it. Trauma Disrupts Trust in Our Inner Knowing – Healing means reclaiming the ability to be with ourselves, slowly and safely. Language Shapes Reality – The way we talk about entheogens reveals our assumptions and our disconnect from ancestral wisdom. We Need Both Science and Spirit – Sitaramaya blends somatic therapy and Buddhist practice to honor the full spectrum of healing. Western Culture Fears Altered States – Many indigenous traditions see these states as essential for reconnecting with truth.

What if your body fat could be your fuel? What if food was the key to mental clarity, fertility, and real healing? Maria Emmerich is known around the world for her work in the keto and carnivore space. What makes her message powerful is how personal it is. She shares her own story of moving through depression, body image struggles, and infertility, guided by ancestral eating and a deep understanding of what the body actually needs. We talk about the myths in keto culture, why more butter isn’t always better, and how to eat in a way that aligns with your why. She also shares what she’s learned from parenting in a processed food world and how we’ve lost sight of what food is really for. Maria is a bestselling author, speaker, and passionate teacher who has helped thousands reconnect with food in a way that heals. Key Takeaways Know Your Why – Your reason for eating this way shapes the whole approach. Fat Isn’t Free Fuel – Too much dietary fat can stall weight loss and spike blood markers. Use Your Own Body Fat – Let your body burn what it’s already carrying. Go Beyond Ribeye – Ancestral eating means organ meats, lean game, and seasonal foods. Food Shapes Mood – Nutrition played a major role in Maria’s healing from depression. Raise Resilient Kids – We talk about feeding children well in a processed food world.

What if your path to healing is already built into your body? I sat down with Nathalie Niddam, a holistic nutritionist and longevity educator who knows how to walk the line between ancestral wisdom and cutting-edge science. Nathalie has this grounded, practical way of looking at things. She's been working with peptides, light therapies, and bioregulators long enough to see what actually works and how it all ties back to the way we’re built. We got into circadian rhythm, vitamin D, red light, UVB exposure, and how your skin still speaks the same language as your ancestors. We talked about how healing starts when you stop outsourcing your health and start listening to what your body is asking for. This conversation left me feeling hopeful, more connected, and more trusting in the deep intelligence of the body. Key Takeaways Your Body Remembers How to Heal – Peptides and bioregulators support natural repair processes already built into your biology. Red and Infrared Light Restore Balance – Using the right spectrum of light can help offset the stress of artificial blue light and improve energy. Vitamin D Depends on Ancestral Clues – Your skin type and ancestry shape how much sunlight you need to stay healthy year-round. Technology Should Support, Not Override – Modern tools are most powerful when they work with your body’s design, not against it. Healing Starts With Self-Awareness – Tracking your own patterns, energy, and symptoms builds the foundation for real change.

Forget trail mix. What if survival food wasn’t junk? That’s what my guest Phillip Meece set out to change. Phillip is a former combat medic who served in Afghanistan and when he got sick in the Army, it put him on a lifelong mission to figure out nutrition that actually supports health. Out of that experience came The Carnivore Bar, a shelf stable nutrient dense version of pemmican made from meat, fat, and salt. Phillip and I dig into how his childhood in Mongolia, his years in the Army, and even his time in theater shaped his vision for food that heals. We talk about what happens when access to real nutrition gets tied up in hierarchy, why health has to be for everyone, and how ancestral foods can point the way forward. Key Takeaways Food That Serves – Phillip created The Carnivore Bar so people would have access to real nutrition when they need it most. Ancestral Wisdom – Meat, fat, and salt come together in a modern take on pemmican that is both simple and powerful. Health for Everyone – Nutrition has to be accessible for all, not just for those with privilege or rank. Lessons From the Army – Getting sick as a combat medic gave Phillip clarity on how broken the food system really is. Unintended Consequences – From fridge space in hospitals to rations in the field, who gets access to good food often comes down to hierarchy. A New Standard for Convenience – The Carnivore Bar proves that shelf stable food can still be truly nourishing.

Have you ever heard of Microbiome Magic or thought about kids as the canaries in the coal mine? My guest today is Dr. Elisa Song, a Stanford, NYU, and UCSF trained integrative pediatrician and mom of two thriving kids. She’s on a mission to revolutionize children’s health and to bring a practical, whole-child approach to families everywhere. Dr. Song and I talk about the rise in chronic disease in kids, the role of the microbiome, and how resilience and daily choices in food, environment, and lifestyle shape lifelong health. She shares insights from her practice and the practical steps parents can take right now to give their kids a better chance at thriving. This conversation reminded me how many levers we actually have to support children today, and it left me feeling both urgent and hopeful about the path forward. Key Takeaways The Rise in Chronic Illness - More kids are facing long-term health challenges, and understanding why is the first step toward change. The Microbiome Matters - Gut health influences immunity, mood, and the foundation for lifelong wellness. Resilience is the Goal - Supporting children means nurturing their physical, emotional, and immune resilience so they can flourish. Everyday Choices Shape Health - Food, sleep, environment, and lifestyle create the terrain where kids either struggle or thrive. Parents Have Real Tools - Simple, actionable steps at home can lower toxic load and strengthen a child’s defenses. Hope is Possible - With the right approach, families can shift the trajectory of children’s health toward thriving.

What if the anxiety, burnout, or fatigue you are feeling is not in your head but in your biology? In this conversation, Dr. Aimie Apigian breaks down how trauma gets stored in the body and what it really takes to feel safe, energized and alive again. Aimie shares her own story of becoming a foster parent and later adopting during medical school, and how that experience opened her eyes to the limits of traditional approaches to trauma. She explains why talk therapy is not always enough and offers practical ways to start making changes in the body right away. Whether you have been in survival mode for years or just feel stuck, this episode is a reminder that healing does not have to be a mystery. It just has to start with the nervous system. Key Takeaways Trauma Lives in the Body – Unresolved experiences get stored in our biology, shaping patterns like anxiety, fatigue, or disconnection. Survival Mode Patterns – People-pleasing, perfectionism, and overachieving often reveal a nervous system stuck in trauma. Talk Therapy Isn’t Enough – True healing requires engaging the biology of trauma, not just the mind. Safety Is the Foundation – Healing starts when the nervous system experiences real cues of safety, not just intellectual understanding. Small Shifts Create Change – It can take just 30–60 seconds to calm the body and shift out of survival mode. Hope for Lasting Healing – By addressing the mind, body, and biology, it’s possible to break lifelong trauma patterns and step into vitality.

Alcohol has been with us since the dawn of civilization woven into ritual and community, yet today, it has become something else entirely. In this conversation with James Swanwick we look at the smiling assassins that keep us drinking and why an alcohol free lifestyle is gaining ground. James is a former ESPN SportsCenter anchor and the author of CLEAR. He is also the founder of Project 90, a neuroscience-based program that helps high achievers including entrepreneurs, executives, physicians, attorneys and athletes step away from alcohol. Together we talk about how culture shaped our relationship to alcohol, why younger generations are drinking less, and what freedom looks like when you choose to live alcohol free. Key Takeaways Alcohol as Cultural Conditioning – From childhood messaging to Hollywood films, drinking is framed as a rite of passage. The Power of Smiling Assassins – Friends, family, and coworkers who casually offer drinks reinforce the normalization of alcohol. Health Science is Clear – Even one drink a day can damage the brain, despite old myths about wine being heart-healthy. Generational Shift – Gen Z is drinking less, creating new alcohol-free spaces for community and celebration. Freedom Over Willpower – Living alcohol-free isn’t about deprivation, but about choosing clarity, energy, and connection. Reframing Identity – The movement is less about “sobriety” and more about embracing an alcohol-free lifestyle without stigma.
