HEAL with Kelly

Could some of the symptoms you’ve learned to live with — brain fog, fatigue, headaches, hormonal changes, or simply not feeling like yourself — have less to do with what’s happening inside your body and more to do with the environment you’re living in? In this episode of the HEAL with Kelly Podcast, I sit down with Ariana Thacker, chemical engineer and founder and CEO of MoldCo, whose own unexpected health crisis led her to investigate one of the most overlooked environmental factors affecting our health: mold exposure. We talk about why mold-related illness can be so difficult to recognize, why conventional testing often completely misses it, and the surprising reason two people living in the exact same home can have completely different experiences. Ariana also challenges some of the biggest assumptions we have about where mold exists — including why newer homes aren’t necessarily in the clear. We explore the emerging connections researchers are seeing between our environments and everything from brain and immune health to hormones, metabolism, and chronic illness. And Ariana shares what she wishes she had known before getting sick, how to begin thinking differently about the health of your home, and why mold may only be one piece of a much bigger environmental conversation.   If you’ve ever had symptoms you couldn’t quite explain, wondered whether your home could be affecting how you feel, or simply want to know what may be hiding in the places you spend the most time, this conversation will change the way you look at your environment — and your health.

What if Alzheimer’s doesn’t begin when you start forgetting names or struggling with memory but decades earlier, when subtle changes are happening in your metabolism, inflammation, and brain?   With Alzheimer’s in my own family, this conversation with Dr. David Perlmutter felt especially personal. Dr. Perlmutter is a board-certified neurologist, six-time New York Times bestselling author, and one of the leading voices challenging how we think about brain health and cognitive decline. His new book, Brain Defenders, explores emerging research around microglia — the immune cells of the brain — and why they may hold an important key to protecting our brains as we age.   We dive into why Dr. Perlmutter believes we need to start thinking about Alzheimer’s prevention in our 30s and 40s, the surprising connection between metabolic health and the brain, and how our everyday choices may influence whether our brain’s immune cells protect us or work against us. We also get into the role of ultra-processed foods, blood sugar and insulin, the gut microbiome, environmental toxins, sleep, inflammation, mitochondria, vitamin D, and some of the biomarkers Dr. Perlmutter believes are worth knowing. And for women, we explore what happens to the brain during menopause, the latest conversation around estrogen and hormone replacement therapy, and why women face a greater risk of Alzheimer’s.   Dr. Perlmutter also shares fascinating new research that could change how we think about Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, MS, traumatic brain injury, and other neurological conditions — including why the future of brain health may look very different from the traditional “wait for symptoms, then treat” approach. This episode left me feeling incredibly hopeful about how much influence we may actually have over the future of our brains. If you’ve ever worried about your memory, your family history, or simply want to stay sharp and resilient as you age, this is a conversation you don’t want to miss.

Do you struggle to get good sleep? The reason you’re exhausted, waking up at 3 a.m., or struggling to feel like yourself might surprise you. And likely has to do with sneaky and quietly disruptive sleep habits. In this episode of the HEAL with Kelly Podcast, I sit down with world renowned sleep expert Dr. Michael Breus, PhD, a double board-certified Clinical Psychologist and Clinical Sleep Specialist known as The Sleep Doctor. After nearly 25 years in the field, he has a refreshingly simple message: we may be making wellness — and sleep — far more complicated than it needs to be. There is a ton of information jam packed in this episode. We explore the fascinating science of our individual sleep chronotypes (I’m a Lion, what are you?!) and how understanding your body’s natural rhythm could change the way you approach not only sleep, but your entire day. Dr. Breus shares some surprisingly simple sleep tips that challenge many of the things we’ve been taught about getting a good night’s rest. We tackle some of the biggest questions around sleep — from those frustrating middle-of-the-night wake-ups, to menopause, sleep apnea, melatonin, sleep trackers, caffeine, alcohol, and the everyday habits that may be affecting us more than we realize. And we go beyond sleep itself, exploring the fascinating world of dreams, the connection between sleep and emotional healing, and why the timing of everything from your morning routine to intimacy may matter more than you think. This conversation made me look at sleep in an entirely new way. Rather than chasing the perfect nighttime routine, what if better sleep actually begins with what you do the moment you wake up? If you’re ready to understand your sleep differently and discover simple ways to feel more rested and energized, this episode is for you.

Grief has a script that we’ve been handed: five stages, one after another, until time supposedly heals you. But what if that was never the full story? There isn't one right way to grieve, and your path might look different. In this episode, I sit down with Kate Doerge, certified grief coach, speaker, and author of Reimagining Grief, who has walked through more loss in one lifetime than most people can grasp. She lost her father unexpectedly to heart failure, then her mother to an accident, and then, most heart-breakingly, her 16-year-old daughter Penny. Out of this deep experience of loss, she's built a completely new way of moving through grief — one built on choice instead of waiting for it to pass.  We talk about what it actually means to feel grief in your body, the signs from her loved ones Kate can't explain away, and the choice that turned her family's indescribable loss into a way of helping thousands of others heal through loss. This conversation made me think differently about grief, healing, and what it really means to honor the people we love. Whether you're grieving today or simply want to better support someone who is, I hope this episode reminds you that healing doesn't mean leaving your loved one behind, it means learning to carry their love with you as you keep on living.

Could some of the biggest health challenges our kids are facing today — anxiety, emotional meltdowns, trouble focusing, allergies, even immune issues — are actually rooted in the gut? In this episode, I sit down with Tina Anderson, founder of Just Thrive, for a conversation about why the microbiome may be one of the most overlooked foundations of lifelong health. After leaving successful careers in the pharmaceutical industry, Tina and her husband set out to understand the root causes of chronic disease, and what they discovered completely changed the direction of their lives.  We explore the powerful connection between the gut and the brain, why so many children are struggling with gut imbalances today, and how everyday factors like antibiotics, ultra-processed foods, environmental toxins, and chronic stress may be impacting our health in ways most of us never realized. Tina also breaks down common myths about probiotics, explains what makes spore-based probiotics different, and offers a simple explanation of concepts like leaky gut and microbial diversity. I found this conversation to be extremely empowering — especially as I think about how to best support my daughter’s health. It's not about striving for perfection, which can be flat out exhausting. It's about understanding how small, intentional choices can help create a stronger foundation for us and our children.

I sat down with a woman who walked away from one of the most public marriages in music history — and I wanted to know what it actually takes to choose yourself when the whole world admires your partner. Deborah Santana spent over thirty years building a life, a business, and a family inside a marriage to one of the most famous musicians of our time, Carlos Santana. From the outside, it looked like the dream. But somewhere along the way, she started asking herself the question so many of us avoid: Am I actually living my purpose, or just managing everyone else's?  Deborah is an author, activist, philanthropist, filmmaker, and longtime advocate for equity and empowerment. Her new memoir, Loving the Fire, traces a journey of choosing truth over appearances, freedom over fear, and her own voice over quiet acceptance of what no longer serves her. In this conversation, we get into what it really takes to rebuild your identity after fame, motherhood, and decades of putting yourself last — the moment that finally gave her permission to leave, what she's learned about love the second time around, and why she now believes the world has lost something essential by turning away from matriarchal wisdom. We also talk about raising kids who feel truly seen and the intuitive flashes she trusts more than almost anything else in her life.  Deborah is 75 and more radiant than ever. She is living proof that reinvention can happen at any age. If you feel like you’ve abandoned yourself or your dreams to keep others happy, this one is for you.

Have you ever wondered how some people find the strength to keep going when life keeps knocking them down? In this conversation, I sit down with bestselling author and creator of the global phenomenon The Miracle Morning, Hal Elrod, to explore what it really means to heal, persevere, and choose hope in the face of overwhelming adversity. Millions know Hal for transforming their mornings — but fewer know the extraordinary journey that led him there. From a car accident that left him clinically dead for six minutes and being told he'd never walk again, to a rare cancer diagnosis with only a 20-30% survival rate, Hal has been forced to confront life's darkest moments over and over, and has found his way back every single time. What struck me most wasn't just his resilience — it was his perspective. We get into the five-minute rule, the difference between optimism and delusion, why he believes resistance — not circumstance — is the real source of emotional pain, the true origin of the Miracle Morning and the SAVERS practice, his approach to affirmations and visualization (and why most people get both wrong), the holistic modalities he pursued alongside conventional treatment, and what no one warns you about when medication starts changing who you are. If you've ever felt stuck, overwhelmed, or needed a reminder that difficult seasons don't last forever — this one's for you.

You all know that we are living in a toxic soup of seen and unseen chemicals. They're in our water, our food, our air, our furniture, and our clothing — everywhere we turn. It can feel overwhelming. But what if detoxification simply became a natural part of how we live, not something we need to fear or stress about? In this episode, I sit down with my good friend, vitality expert and detox architect Natalie Lefevre, for a fascinating conversation about what it really means to support the body's ability to heal. Like many of the guests I love bringing to you, Natalie's passion comes from her own healing journey. After being misdiagnosed, experiencing serious health challenges, and losing someone she loves, she was propelled into a lifelong search for answers that took her far beyond conventional medicine and around the world in pursuit of innovative healing modalities. Natalie works with advanced diagnostics and blood filtration technologies to uncover what conventional approaches often miss. But what I love most about her perspective is that she doesn't stop at the physical body. We explore the emotional and nervous system patterns that can silently keep us stuck, even when we're eating well, exercising, and doing all the "right" things. Together, we discuss environmental toxins, heavy metals, microplastics, inflammation, nervous system regulation, grief, emotional healing, subconscious programming, and the powerful connection between body, mind, and spirit. Natalie's philosophy is simple: detox isn't a protocol — it's a way of life. And true vitality becomes possible when we address all of who we are — the physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual aspects of healing. Whether you're just beginning your wellness journey or looking to go deeper into root-cause healing, this conversation will leave you thinking differently about what it means to detox, heal, and reclaim your health.

I truly feel that all healing is spiritual healing. And this is something Dr. Amy Robbins emphasizes it in this eye opening conversation. Amy is a clinical psychologist, spiritual teacher, psychic medium, and host of the podcast Life, Death, and the Space Between. She has spent 20 years quietly doing something quite radical — building a framework that refuses to separate what happens in the therapy room from what's happening in your soul. She calls it Spiritually Informed Therapy, and I really feel like it’s the missing piece in the mental health conversation. We get into the spiritual experiences therapists are increasingly hearing from their patients behind closed doors — but are often hesitant to address because it’s not acknowledged in the western psychology space. We talk about everything from felt presences of spirits, intuitive knowing, grief, communications from other realms, awakenings, and why traditional mental health spaces don't know how to hold them. Amy shares why she believes spirituality can no longer be treated as separate from mental health, and how she's training clinicians to ethically bring these conversations into their work. We also go deep on alignment, trauma, anxiety, nervous system regulation, breathwork, and the hidden cost of ignoring your intuition. And why chronic stress doesn't just exhaust you, it cuts you off from the quiet inner voice that's trying to guide you.  This one is part therapy session, part spiritual awakening, part reminder that every piece of being human, the joy, the heartbreak, the mystery, is sacred.

What if the way you’ve been trying to manage stress, anxiety, and emotional overwhelm is missing one essential piece… your heart? In this deeply fascinating conversation, I sit down with Dr. Deborah Rozman, behavioral psychologist, President and co-CEO of HeartMath, and one of the leading pioneers in the science of heart coherence and heart-brain communication.   We explore how our emotional states directly impact the body, why HRV may reveal far more than most people realize, and what actually happens when the heart and brain fall into sync. Deborah shares the research behind intuition, nervous system regulation, emotional resilience, and the measurable effects of coherence on our health, mental state, and overall well-being.  We also talk about anxiety, trauma, emotional patterns, meditation, wearable devices, performance states, and why practices like gratitude and heart-focused breathing may be far more powerful than we’ve been taught. One of my favorite moments in this episode is when Deborah guides us through a real-time heart coherence practice you can follow along with — a simple yet powerful exercise designed to help calm the nervous system, quiet the mind, and bring you back into balance within minutes.

Most of us are doing all the things — and still not feeling vital and energized. This episode might reveal the missing piece…   In this week’s episode, I sit down with Connie Zack, co-founder of Sunlighten Saunas, and her story alone is worth pressing play for. It starts with someone she loves, a health crisis that wouldn't budge, and a discovery that quietly changed the direction of her life.   We get into what infrared light actually is — and why it's so much more than just a hot room. We cover how it works at the cellular level, and what that actually means for detox, circulation, and the kind of deep rest most of us aren't getting. We also had a really honest conversation about the nervous system — why you genuinely cannot heal when you're stuck in fight-or-flight, and what it actually takes to come back into regulation.   It’s not about adding another step to your wellness routine. It's about understanding what your body needs to do what it is innately designed to do... to heal.   If you feel like you’ve been running on empty and can't quite figure out why… I think this conversation is going to open something up for you. If you follow me on Instagram, you know how obsessed I am with my infrared sauna. It’s my mini oasis where I go to replenish and reflect. If you’d like to learn more or create your own sauna tailored to your needs, visit Sunlighten.com/healwithkelly to receive a personalized quote. Infrared saunas can be pricey — so it’s a great time to remind you that the sun is the most abundant and free source of infrared light.

Do you feel like you've lost touch with yourself somewhere in the noise of modern life? Like you're doing all the things… but still feeling disconnected, drained, or out of rhythm with who you truly are? This conversation with Michael Trainer felt like medicine for my soul. Michael is the co-creator of the Global Citizen Festival, host of the Peak Mind podcast, and author of Resonance: The Art and Science of Human Connection — and in this episode, we explore what it really means to live in resonance with yourself, your relationships, your purpose, and the deeper "song" that wants to be expressed through your life. We talk about the epidemic of loneliness and disconnection… why some people energize us while others leave us depleted… and how our nervous systems are constantly being shaped by the environments, media, and relationships around us. Michael shares beautiful insights from Resonance on grief, heartbreak, healing, authenticity, creativity, and why pain itself can become the compost for a more meaningful life. We also dive into the power of music as a metaphor for life, the importance of finding your "root" relationships, the healing power of community, and why true wealth may actually be the quality of experiences we share with the people we love. This episode reminded me that healing isn't just about fixing ourselves — it's about coming back into tune. Back into connection. Back into the rhythm of who we really are.

Is the life you’re experiencing right now something you’ve been unconsciously creating — or are you creating from a place of purpose and intention?  Most of you know manifestation is one of my favorite topics to discuss! In this episode, I sit down with Papi DiNuzzo — wealth manager, manifestation coach, and author of Manifest Anything You Can Imagine — for a spontaneous, high-frequency conversation about what it really means to consciously create your life. We go beyond surface-level “law of attraction” ideas and into how your thoughts, emotions, and subconscious patterns may be shaping your reality in ways you may not even realize. We talk about why so many of us feel stuck in repeating patterns, how negative self-talk can influence what we attract, and why the first moments of your morning can be so important. Papi shares his perspective on the subconscious mind, energy, and why manifestation is not a quick fix but something you live and practice daily. We also explore gratitude, belief, and emotional alignment, along with how focusing on the past or worrying about the future can pull you out of the present moment where real change happens. We talk about the importance of getting clear on what you truly want and what it takes to begin creating from that place.  This conversation opens up a deeper look at purpose — why we’re here, what we’re here to create, and how much power we may actually have to shape our lives.

I didn’t know too much about the impressive Johanna Hellrigl before this conversation — a friend suggested I interview her and I intuitively said yes on the spot. And I’m so glad I did! Johanna is the chef and founder behind Ama, an award-winning Northern Italian restaurant in Washington, D.C., and a board member of the Environmental Working Group who is revolutionizing what it means to nourish people — from the way she sources whole ingredients to how she cares for her team to the deeper intention behind every decision she makes. She is building a model of hospitality where indulgence, vitality, sustainability, and community coexist — proving restaurants can drive cultural and systemic change. This woman is doing the work, and you can feel it. Johanna’s personal story also really moved me. As a chef, entrepreneur and mother, Johanna shares parts of her life that shaped the way she sees health, intuition, and what it means to truly take care of yourself in a world that can feel overwhelming and confusing. It’s a powerful reminder of how much we’re capable of when we start to question, listen, and trust ourselves more deeply. Many of us are aware of how to avoid toxins in and around our food at home, but I’ll admit eating out was more of a blind spot for me. We get into the hidden plastic crisis lurking in restaurant kitchens, the truth about what's really in your pasta and why it hits so differently in Europe, the seed oil conversation with actual nuance, food waste, and so. much. more. Johanna shares practical swaps you can make today in your own kitchen to reduce your toxic load — no overwhelm, just empowered steps forward. We really covered it all! I left this conversation feeling inspired, grounded, and confident that our bodies are incredibly intelligent — and when we start to listen, everything begins to shift.

What if the story you’ve been told about your diagnosis… isn’t the only one available to you? In this uplifting episode, I sit down with Mark Ruegg, a Stage IV pancreatic cancer thriver whose awe-inspiring journey reinforced what I know is possible when it comes to healing. I first heard about Mark after two different people told me I had to hear his story — and after listening for myself, I had to have him on the podcast. Incredibly, he credits the HEAL Documentary for inspiring a sense of hope and possibility after his diagnosis. It brings me so much JOY to know the film continues to inspire this community to take your healing and transformation into your own hands! After being told his cancer was inoperable and incurable, Mark found himself standing between two very different worlds—one rooted in fear, prognosis, and limitation… and another rooted in possibility, belief, and the body’s capacity to heal. What he chose changed everything.  We talk about the moment he came across the HEAL Documentary — and how that experience, along with others who had walked this path before him, helped him borrow belief when he didn’t yet have it on his own. This conversation explores the deeper layers of healing that often go unspoken — how fear can live beneath the surface even when life looks “good”… why belief may be the foundation everything else rests on… and how learning to get quiet, listen inward, and regulate the nervous system can open the door to guidance you didn’t know was available. Mark shares the shifts he made across every area of his life — from the way he moved his body, to how he nourished it, to the way he thought, felt, and related to his diagnosis. We explore the power of community, environment, and emotional energy — and why healing isn’t just physical, but deeply mental, emotional, and spiritual. This conversation isn’t about denying reality — it’s about expanding it. It’s about what can happen when you stop outsourcing your power… and start actively participating in your healing. If you or someone you love is navigating a diagnosis — or simply searching for a new way to approach health, resilience, and life — this episode will open your mind to what might be possible.

What if the reason you feel more tired, foggy, or just not like yourself anymore… isn’t just hormones or “getting older” — but something happening deeper in your body? In this episode, I sit down with Jen Scheinman, a registered dietitian with over 25 years of experience in nutrition and healthy aging and Director of Science Communications at Timeline Nutrition. Jen is one of the leading educators on Urolithin A — a postbiotic compound found in Mitopure — and its role in mitochondrial health, cellular renewal, and longevity. Beyond Timeline, she also runs her own practice, Next Jen Health, where she helps women optimize vitality through the menopause transition and beyond. We explore a part of our health that most of us have never really been taught to think about—our mitochondria, the energy centers inside our cells — and why so many women start to feel a shift in their 30s and 40s, when the things that used to work suddenly don’t. Jen breaks down the science in a way that actually makes sense, connecting fatigue, brain fog, and changes in your body to what’s happening at the cellular level. We talk about why diet and exercise can stop working the way they used to, how your gut and environment impact your energy, and what’s really going on beneath the surface as we age. We also explore the difference between living longer and actually feeling good while you do it — and what it looks like to support your body in a way that aligns with how it truly works. This conversation isn’t about quick fixes. It’s about understanding your body on a deeper level so you can start to feel like yourself again. Mitopure now starts at just $79.

Do you ever feel there might be more to your story than what’s happened in just this lifetime? In this perspective-shifting episode, we go beyond the ordinary and delve into the topic of past lives —  as a powerful lens for understanding the fears, patterns, gifts, and deeper themes that may be shaping our lives.  I sat down with past-life psychic and spiritual teacher Ainslie MacLeod, author of The Instruction and The Old Soul’s Guidebook, for a thought-provoking conversation about the deeper story of our souls, and where our fears, gifts, and purpose may truly come from.  Ainslie shares how he works with his spirit guides, what actually happens during a past-life reading, and how we can begin to trust our own intuition on a deeper level. He even does a live reading on one of my own past lives — revealing patterns that felt incredibly accurate and, honestly, shocking — even for me! Whether you interpret these patterns literally, symbolically, or simply as a doorway into self-reflection, the real invitation is to ask: does this help you understand yourself more deeply and let go of what no longer serves you?  We dive into Ainslie's perspective on soul age and soul types, and how our soul’s journey across lifetimes may be shaping our relationships, our fears, our sensitivity, and our drive to make a difference. Ainslie explains how past-life experiences can show up as self-worth struggles, perfectionism, people-pleasing, and emotional triggers — and how simply bringing awareness to these patterns can create profound shifts.  This episode is a powerful reminder that we may not be starting from scratch… and that your soul may be guiding you toward something far greater than you realize. My goal was to hold this conversation with curiosity and openness, not to convince you of anything, but to explore what becomes possible when we look at our lives through a new lens. If you’ve ever felt different, deeply sensitive, or called to something more — this conversation is for you.

What if all the mistakes you've made, the shame you’ve carried and the terrible way you have treated yourself, are all part of the journey back to who you truly are. My ex-husband always used to say, "Sometimes we have to go to the wrong place to get to the right place” and he was right. And no, the irony is not lost on me ;)  The newest episode of Heal with Kelly is near and dear to my heart because I sit down with my beautiful friend Jamie Lynn Sigler — beloved for her role as Meadow Soprano in HBO’s The Soprano’s.  We dive into her powerful new book out this week called  And So It Is... A Memoir of Acceptance and Hope. Jamie is incredibly brave and raw in her writing.  She shares with radical honesty and humility and her story rocked me to my core while lighting me up with hope and compassion.  Jamie has lived with Multiple Sclerosis (and Lyme) for 25 years. For most of that time, she hid it — from directors, from co-stars, from the world. Before her diagnosis, she hid an eating disorder and a suffocating shame that wasn’t even hers.  She shares what those years of silence cost her, and how finally telling the truth, the most courageous act one can do, actually set her free.  I cried so many times reading Jamie’s new book. I saw myself in so much of her story and her journey is truly gripping, heartbreaking, and full of miracles. I could not recommend this book more.   In this episode we go deep on the inner voice that intends to protect us but turns out to be far more harmful than any external enemy. We discuss the way shame cripples our sense of worth and what it actually looks like to stop performing and start living. Jamie opens up about her son Beau's near-death experience — and the message he brought back that became her lighthouse. She shares the moment she fell to her knees in a hospital hallway and felt, for the first time, that she was not alone. And she talks about what it means to finally walk into a room and say: this is how I move. This is who I am.   This conversation is about surrender and breakthrough, plant medicine and prayer, generational healing and the stories we carry in our bodies. It's a reminder that healing is never about fixing what’s broken — it's about remembering who you are beneath everything you've been told to hide.

What if the reason you still don’t feel your best… has nothing to do with willpower and everything to do with what’s happening deep inside your body? In this episode, I sit down with Jess Kane Berman of BodyBio, a family-founded company originally created by her grandfather and rooted in cellular health and science-backed solutions and this conversation completely reframed how I think about healing - from the cellular level to the emotional level.   We talk about what’s really driving symptoms so many of us are experiencing right now - hormonal shifts, fatigue, brain fog, gut issues and why the answers might not be where you’ve been looking. Jess shares her personal journey through health struggles, how she navigated a diagnosis that left her feeling overwhelmed, and what ultimately helped her take her power back - guided in part by the foundational principles her grandfather pioneered and that still shape BodyBio’s approach today.   We dive into the connection between stress, trauma, and the body - how what we carry emotionally can shape how we feel physically, and why slowing down is often where true healing begins. We also explore what it looks like to care for your body in today’s world - reducing toxic load, making intentional choices without fear, and nourishing yourself at a level that supports deep, cellular health.   This is one of those episodes that invites you to zoom out, reconnect with your body, and rethink what it really means to heal.

Have you ever felt like you should be more healed, more clear, more certain… and yet you’re not? If you’ve been overthinking, holding on, or trying to force your way into peace… this conversation will bring you back to the wisdom of your heart.  And give you a big ol' dose of counter intuitive power moves.    In this episode, I sit down with my dear friend Danielle LaPorte to explore what it really means to live from the heart, not as a concept, but as a daily, embodied practice. This conversation challenged me in the best way, especially around how we relate to our emotions, our patterns, and even the parts of ourselves we try to push away.   Danielle LaPorte is a heart-centered leader, author, and philanthropist whose work bridges emotional intelligence, spirituality, and practical devotion. She is the author of multiple bestselling books, and she joins me to share insights from her latest "sure to be bestseller", Bless & Release.   We unpack a powerful reframe on healing, one that isn’t about fixing yourself, but about learning how to work with your energy and meet your emotions with compassion and presence. We talk about acceptance and why it doesn’t mean condoning, how resistance keeps you stuck, and what begins to shift when you stop fighting reality.   We also dive into joy, trust, confusion, the pressure to know what’s next, and how softening into uncertainty can crack open a different kind of clarity.

What if the reason so many people struggle with chronic illness has less to do with the diagnosis and more to do with the health of their cells? In this episode of the HEAL with Kelly Podcast, I sit down with physician, bestselling author, and Founder of Vital Plan, Dr. Bill Rawls, to explore the deeper drivers of chronic illness and how to heal the real root – the cell.    After developing chronic Lyme disease in his 40s and experiencing his vitality disintegrate, Dr. Rawls began questioning the conventional approach to chronic illness. His search for answers led him beyond the traditional medical model and into the world of cellular health, herbal medicine, and lifestyle factors that influence the body’s ability to heal.   Dr. Rawls explains the role of cellular stress in chronic disease, why herbs and adaptogens may work differently but as (or more!) potently than pharmaceuticals, how lifestyle shifts can restore balance in the body, and why healing often begins by addressing the environment we live in and the habits we practice every day.   This hope-inducing episode offers a new way of thinking about chronic illness, not as a failing body, but as a signal that our cells need support. If you’ve ever wondered why symptoms persist or why diagnoses can feel incomplete, this may shift how you think about healing.

What if the worst thing imaginable happened… and instead of closing your heart, the spirit of the child you lost, inspired you to open it wider?   In this deeply moving episode, I sit down with Jenn Levi, mother, advocate, and co-founder of the Live Like Braun Foundation, to talk about what healing really looks like after unimaginable loss. Ten months after losing her 18-year-old son, Braun, Jenn shares how grief has reshaped her faith, her identity, and her sense of purpose. From losing their home in the Palisades fire to losing Braun just months later, she reflects on how back-to-back tragedy forced her to confront the question: How is grief going to shape you?   We talk about the reality that you don’t “get over” losing someone, especially a child. You learn to live with it.  Jenn shares how she’s building a life big enough to hold both love and pain, how giving her grief a job transformed it into service, and how the foundation is channeling heartbreak into scholarships, rebuilding public spaces, and fighting to reform DUI laws. We also explore how helping others can shift your own healing and the power of human connection in a disconnected world.  And finally, Jenn shares how her spiritual beliefs have evolved, not into easy answers, but into a deeper relationship with love, energy, and presence beyond the veil.   This conversation is raw, courageous, and honest. It’s about legacy. It’s about resilience. And it’s about choosing, every single day, to live with intention, even when your heart is shattered.

What if the patterns holding you back aren't a character flaw — but a survival response your nervous system learned before you even had words for it? In this episode of the HEAL with Kelly Podcast, Kelly sits down with #1 New York Times bestselling author Dr. Nicole LePera — known to millions as The Holistic Psychologist — to explore her groundbreaking new book, Reparenting the Inner Child. Dr. Nicole has redefined how we think about healing by weaving together psychology, nervous system science, and the kind of honest self-awareness that creates real, lasting change. Together, they unpack why so many of us keep repeating emotional patterns even when we fully understand them intellectually — and why understanding alone is not enough. Dr. Nicole reveals how our earliest experiences wire our nervous system, shape the roles we play in relationships, and form the deep-seated beliefs we carry through life about our worth, safety, and belonging. You'll learn why your reactions aren't overreactions — they're echoes. The inner child isn't a metaphor. It's emotional memory stored in the body, running protective programs formed long before you had the capacity to choose differently. This episode also explores the profound link between childhood experiences and adult physical health, how modern life quietly overtaxes an already-stressed nervous system, and what it actually looks like to begin reparenting yourself with practical tools. If you've ever felt like you're doing the work but something still isn't shifting, this conversation is your next step.

What if the discomfort you’re feeling right now isn’t a sign that something is wrong —but proof that something is unfolding?   In this episode of HEAL with Kelly, I’m joined by Jill Wintersteen, founder of Spirit Daughter and author of Spirit Daughter: Own Your Power, Change Your Life, for a deeply grounding and expansive conversation about intuition, healing, and what it really means to trust yourself through change.   We talk about the difference between intuition and anxiety, why suppressed emotions and unmet needs don’t disappear but instead live in the body — and how learning to feel fully is often the doorway to clarity, resilience, self-trust and true healing. Jill shares wisdom around manifestation, timing, and why nothing meant for you can ever miss you, even when the path doesn’t look the way you expected.   We also explore the larger collective moment we’re living in — from paradigm shifts and the Age of Aquarius to the role each of us plays in navigating uncertainty with heart, presence, and embodied wisdom. At the core of this conversation is a powerful reminder: owning your power isn’t about controlling life — it’s about trusting yourself to meet whatever life brings.   This episode is an invitation to come back into your body, reconnect with your inner guidance, and remember that you are far more capable than you’ve been taught to believe.   Key Moments You'll Love ✨: 🌲 [0:00] Self-Taught at 16 in the Woods (No ChatGPT Required) 📖 [3:15] Astrology Meets Psychology (Always Belonged Together) 💔 [5:06] The Chad/Brad Story: Red Flags & Bad Boys 📚 [8:20] Writing Two Books Smashed Into One 🔥 [11:40] Trial by Fire: Learning the Hard Way 🧠 [15:30] From Johns Hopkins to Federal Fugitive's Wife ✨ [25:15] What Feels Like Falling Apart Is Falling Into Alignment 🌙 [42:20] Moon Circles & Community Connection ♒ [1:05:25] The Age of Aquarius: 200-Year Transformation 🌊 [1:07:34] Neptune in Aries, Uranus in Gemini (AI Written All Over It) 🦋 [1:09:16] The Messy Cocoon: We're Not Going Backwards LINKS Jill Wintersteen / Spirit Daughter website: https://spiritdaughter.com/ Spirit Daughter on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/spiritdaughter/ Spirit Daughter: Own Your Power, Change Your Life book on Amazon: https://amzn.to/4aewL5M Learn more about your ad choices.

So many of us have been gaslit and told we are well even though we know we are not — the fatigue, the hormone chaos, the gut issues, the brain fog, the sense that something feels off even when our labs say we’re “normal.” In this conversation we wanted to explore a different possibility: what if your body actually knows how to heal when given the right support? In this episode of HEAL with Kelly, I’m joined by Dr. Robin Berzin, a Columbia-trained physician and the founder of Parsley Health, for a deeply eye-opening dialogue about what’s missing in modern healthcare — and how functional medicine fills the gaps. We talk about why so many people feel dismissed, why bouncing from specialist to specialist rarely brings real, whole picture answers, and how root-cause medicine looks at the whole human, not just isolated symptoms.  We also dive into some of the most talked-about (and misunderstood) topics in health right now — hormones,  perimenopause, and menopause, proactive lab testing, longevity medicine, peptides including GLP-1s, bone health, and why a prevention mindset matters far earlier than we’ve been taught. Dr. Berzin shares powerful patient stories, breaks down common myths, and explains why data alone isn’t enough — interpretation and action are everything. This conversation is honest, practical, and empowering. If you’ve ever felt like there has to be another way to approach your health — one that’s proactive, personalized, and rooted in trust, this episode will open the door to a new way of thinking.

We live in a social media, click bait world that tells us change has to be dramatic — but what if the profound transformation we’re seeking is actually much simpler? Think tortoise, not hare. In this episode of HEAL with Kelly, I’m joined by my longtime friend Light Watkins for a grounded conversation about presence, awareness, and the quiet power of doing less. Light is the person who introduced me to Transcendental Meditation in 2007, so this dialogue feels especially meaningful and full circle. Light shares insights from his latest book, The Year You Transform The Quickest Path to Changing Your Life for the Better, which offers a slower, more intentional approach to change — one rooted in daily devotion, simplicity, and awareness rather than force. We explore practical experiments like 7-day challenges, intentional discomfort, and longer resets that help break unconscious dependencies and build self-trust. Along the way, we unpack habits, complaining culture, energy, and why small, consistent shifts often lead to the most lasting transformation. We also talk about why lasting change rarely comes from doing something extreme, and why learning to work with the mind — rather than fighting it — can quietly reshape how you experience your life. If you are like me and overwhelmed with the intensity of life right now, this episode is for you.

If you’ve ever thought, “Why didn’t anyone prepare me for this?” — this episode is for you. So many women are doing all the “right” things, yet still feel exhausted, inflamed, foggy, or just off in ways they can’t quite explain. Too often, we’re told it’s simply part of aging.   In this episode of HEAL with Kelly, I’m joined by Dr. Amy Shah, whose work — and new book, Hormone Havoc — is helping change the conversation around women’s health. We talk about why women’s health has been historically overlooked, how nutrition has been left out of critical medical education, and why so many women feel dismissed when they seek real answers — especially during perimenopause and menopause.   Dr. Shah explains how hormonal shifts affect the brain, gut, metabolism, mood, and nervous system — and why symptoms like hot flashes, night sweats, brain fog, cravings, and poor sleep are signals, not failures. We explore simple, science-backed ways to support hormones through food, movement, and lifestyle, including walking, strength training, gut health, stress resilience, and why alcohol affects women differently in midlife.   We also talk about purpose, community, and connection, and why women are evolutionarily wired to thrive in this next phase of life.   If you’ve been searching for clarity, validation, or a more compassionate roadmap for this chapter, this episode offers exactly that.

Brain health is one of the most overlooked parts of women’s wellness — and that needs to change. In this episode of HEAL with Kelly, I sit down with Emma Heming Willis and Helen Christoni, co-founders of Make Time Wellness, to talk about brain health, caregiving, and the early signs of cognitive change that are so often overlooked or explained away. We also dive into Emma’s powerful book, The Unexpected Journey: Finding Strength, Hope, and Yourself on the Caregiving Path, which offers a deeply personal and practical guide for anyone navigating the caregiving path. Her reflections on love, resilience, and the invisible weight caregivers carry are both eye-opening and profoundly human. We explore how dementia can show up in unexpected ways, why women are disproportionately affected, and what happens when families are left without clear answers or guidance. Emma opens up about navigating her husband Bruce’s diagnosis, learning how to speak honestly with her children, and what caregiving really looks like behind the scenes. Helen shares what led them to create Make Time Wellness — and why women’s brain health has been missing from the wellness conversation for far too long. We also talk about emotional processing, burnout, community, and the power of making time for yourself in realistic, human ways. This is a conversation about listening sooner, advocating harder, and remembering that caring for your brain is not optional — it’s foundational.

What if the most powerful technology we’ll ever need is already within us?   In this episode of HEAL with Kelly, I’m joined by my good friend Gregg Braden—scientist, bestselling author, and a familiar face from the HEAL documentary—for a conversation that feels more important than ever.   Gregg joins me to explore themes from his latest book, Pure Human: The Hidden Truth of Our Divinity, Power, and Destiny, and to unpack what’s really at stake as we move deeper into an age of artificial intelligence, transhumanism, and rapid technological change. Together, we explore how our biology, emotions, and intuition are not flaws at all, but expressions of an extraordinary intelligence already living within us.   We touch on epigenetics, the regenerative capacity of the brain and heart, the science of coherence, and a fascinating genetic mystery—including the role of human chromosome 2 and how it may be tied to our capacity for empathy, creativity, and higher consciousness. We also explore why creativity, imagination, healing, and love are not outdated traits—but essential expressions of our humanness.   We reflect on what we lost during the pandemic, why so many of us never had the space to grieve, and how honoring our biology may be the path back to resilience, meaning, and wholeness.   This isn’t a conversation rooted in fear—it’s a remembering. A reminder of who we are, what we’re capable of, and what it truly means to stay human.

What if there are invisible forces affecting your health, emotions, and clarity that are more influential than anything you can see?   In this episode of HEAL with Kelly, I’m joined by Philipp Samor von Holtzendorff-Fehling, founder and CEO of Leela Quantum Tech, a company developing non-invasive quantum healing technologies designed to support vitality, energetic balance, and overall health.   Philipp’s path didn’t begin in wellness — it began in the corporate world, serving as a Vice President at T-Mobile, while privately navigating deep personal blocks that ultimately led him toward energy work and holistic healing. In this conversation, we explore the science behind the biofield, the quantum field, and the nervous system, and why nature holds the most powerful key to bringing us back into balance.   We also talk about potent scientific research, real-world experiments, and what happens when the internal “terrain” of the body begins to change — physically, emotionally, and energetically. From fertility and women’s health markers to physical recovery, brain function, EMFs, blue light, and the power of intention and subconscious patterning, this episode weaves science, lived experience, and timeless wisdom together in a grounded, thoughtful way. It’s an intriguing and inspiring conversation that invites a deeper understanding of how energy and frequency shape our lives, and opens us up to a world of infinite possibilities!  As a gift to our HEAL with Kelly community, use code KELLY10 for 10% off at Leela Quantum Tech.

Have you ever felt like something unseen is guiding you… even when life doesn’t make sense? In this episode, I’m joined by internationally renowned psychic medium, teacher, and New York Times bestselling author Laura Lynne Jackson for a heartfelt conversation about intuition, trust, and living what she calls an illuminated life. We talk about the signs we receive from our Team of Light, the inner knowing we often doubt, and what happens when we finally surrender control and allow life to unfold with more grace. Laura shares insights from her latest book, Guided: The Secret Path to an Illuminated Life, and we explore how guidance shows up through love, loss, healing, and even the moments that feel confusing or painful. This conversation touches on consciousness beyond the physical body, grief and continuing bonds, emotional release, forgiveness, boundaries, and divine timing—without trying to explain it all away. It’s not about bypassing the hard parts of life but learning how to walk through the darkness with more trust, awareness, and compassion. If you’ve been questioning your path, feeling disconnected from loved ones who’ve passed, or wondering whether you’re truly supported… This episode is an invitation to listen differently, and find alignment through intention and love.

What if the things we may tend to roll our eyes at—rituals, journaling, gratitude—are actually ancient technologies for healing? AND, they are now being backed by modern science!  In this episode, I’m joined by my new friend, bestselling author and former Comedy Central executive Tara Schuster, to talk about her new book, This Journal F*cking Works: The Science, Ritual, and Art of Journaling, and the practices that quietly but profoundly change lives. Our conversation bridges science and spirit, skepticism and surrender, as Tara shares how journaling—something she once completely dismissed—became a lifeline, a ritual, and the road back to herself. We talk about reparenting ourselves, inner-child healing, and why grief and gratitude aren’t opposites but companions. We explore how our culture’s loss of ritual has left us overstimulated, disconnected, and dis-eased and why creating sacred pauses in your day can fundamentally change the way you experience your life. Tara also shares how burnout, success, and self-abandonment led her back to the simplest tools—and why science now supports what intuition and our ancestors have always known.

If you’ve ever looked in the mirror and felt “not good enough,” questioned your worth based on your appearance, or worried about the messages we’re passing down to the next generation… this episode is for you. In this episode of HEAL with Kelly, I’m joined by the incredible Taryn Brumfitt — award-winning filmmaker, bestselling author, and the force behind the global Body Image Movement. Together, we explore the beliefs we inherit, the pressures we internalize, and the quiet, exhausting battles so many of us carry in our minds and bodies.  We talk about the subtle ways culture shapes our self-perception, how perfectionism shows up in unexpected places, why so many of us struggle to feel at home in our bodies, and what it truly means to choose compassion over criticism — for ourselves and for our kiddos. This conversation is honest, expansive, and deeply human. It’s an invitation to rethink the stories we’ve been told, reconnect with our own inner wisdom, and begin practicing a gentler, more grounded relationship with our bodies.

Have you ever felt terrified of change… not just because life is shifting, but because you feel like you’re shifting with it? I know that feeling well — and this week’s conversation opened my heart and mind in such a profound way. In this week’s episode of HEAL with Kelly, I sit down with Dr. Maya Shankar, a renowned cognitive scientist whose work sits at the intersection of identity, behavior, and human transformation. Maya is the Senior Director of Behavioral Economics at Google, the creator and host of the award-winning podcast A Slight Change of Plans, and the former Senior Policy Advisor in the Obama White House. She founded and chaired the White House Social and Behavioral Sciences Team and later became the first Behavioral Science Advisor to the United Nations. Maya’s new book, The Other Side of Change, is a stunning blend of research and storytelling. In our conversation, we explore why change can feel so destabilizing, how our brains are wired to resist uncertainty, and what happens when the identities we’ve clung to suddenly fall away. Maya shares vulnerably about losing the violin career she spent her childhood building, and later, facing the grief and identity questions that came with unexpected challenges around motherhood. We also dive into some of the most fascinating ideas from her work — like why we mistakenly believe we’re “done changing,” how awe and moral beauty can completely redirect our lives, and a simple 5-minute practice that can ground us when we feel unmoored. We talk about the stories we inherit, the ones we outgrow, and the courage it takes to imagine ourselves beyond old definitions.  In a world where CHANGE is the only constant, Maya's work is a lighthouse.  This conversation is honest, expansive, and full of insight. If you’re navigating transition, grieving a path that didn’t unfold, questioning your identity, or simply curious about who you’re becoming… this episode is for you.

If you’ve ever wondered why certain moments bring you to your knees before lifting you higher than you ever imagined, this conversation is one you won’t forget. Today, I sit down with my dear friend Rhonda Byrne, creator of The Secret, whose work has reshaped how millions of us understand our thoughts, emotions, and power to create. Rhonda’s work changed my life in the most profound ways, and I love welcoming her back for a refresher, especially as we kick off a new year and get ready to step into the abundant energy of the Fire Horse in February. In this episode, we discuss her brand-new book, Countdown to Riches, where Rhonda reveals the wealth practices that transformed her relationship with money. She shares the exact tools she relied on during periods of intense financial pressure — practices that helped her move from scarcity and survival into trust, flow, and unfathomable abundance. Throughout the episode, Rhonda opens up about the techniques that carried her through profound emotional challenges, including depression. She explains how she created a game that turned outgoing expenses into “incoming money,” and the miracles that followed. We also discuss how welcoming intense and all-consuming emotions can dissolve them, and why gratitude is one of the fastest ways to lift your frequency and change your life. This episode is filled with heart, humility, honesty, and practical magic. Rhonda brings clarity to concepts we’ve all heard but may not yet fully believe and embody — and reminds us who we truly are beneath fear, conditioning, and resistance.

Have you ever felt that your heart knows more than your mind, that quiet intuitive wisdom that guides you when logic can’t? In this week’s episode of HEAL with Kelly, I sit down with the incredible Estelle Bingham, a fourth-generation psychic, holistic healer, spiritual teacher, and author of Manifest Your True Essence, for a conversation that goes straight to the soul. Known as The Heart Whisperer, Estelle shares the deeper truth about the three hearts — the physical, emotional, and spiritual — and how reconnecting with them can unlock our innate power to heal. We talk about the courage it takes to truly feel, the shadow work that helps us meet the parts of ourselves we’ve long avoided, and why our next evolution as humans is a revolution of the heart. We explore everything from somatic healing and reparenting the inner child, to shame, grief, the Divine Feminine, and even AI, and how in the face of so much change, it’s our connection to love and source energy that keeps us grounded and whole. If you’ve ever wondered how to live more from your heart with discernment, compassion, and courage, this conversation will remind you that everything you need is already within.

Have you ever wondered why challenges seem to show up right when you're finally stepping into your power? Or why moments of anxiety feel so intense, it’s almost as if they’re blocking your path? In this week’s episode of HEAL with Kelly, I sit down with my longtime Kabbalah teacher and dear friend, Eitan Yardeni, to explore the deeper spiritual mechanics of life. Kabbalah is ancient wisdom that has always resonated deeply with my beliefs and faith.   Eitan, a globally respected Kabbalah teacher and Madonna’s longtime spiritual mentor, has over 30 years of experience and a gift for making ancient wisdom deeply practical. Together, we explore soul vs. ego, why discomfort is part of transformation, and how to trust the guidance that leads you into a bigger version of yourself. We also explore some of life’s hardest questions: Why do we experience suffering? What does Kabbalah say about anxiety, miracles, and the unseen 99% of reality? How do we navigate loss, trust the bigger picture, and stay connected to our purpose when everything feels uncertain? Throughout our conversation, Eitan shares powerful insights about expanding your vessel, cultivating true fulfillment, and embracing the light that’s hidden inside the very moments we tend to resist. This is one of my favorite conversations of the year, and I hope it will be as enlightening for you as it was for me! If you’re craving a deeper understanding of your path, if you’re navigating a challenge, or if you simply want to feel more connected to yourself and the world around you, this episode will meet you exactly where you are. It’s expansive, grounding, and filled with the kind of reminders that stay with you long after the conversation ends.

I’ve always believed that healing starts with awareness — but this conversation with Dr. Ellen Vora took that belief to a whole new level. In this illuminating conversation, I sit down with Dr. Vora, a board-certified psychiatrist, acupuncturist, yoga teacher, and author of The Anatomy of Anxiety — and she’s redefining what it means to truly care for our mental health. In this episode, she shares how her own health crisis and years in conventional psychiatry led her to a more holistic path — one that honors both science and soul. We explore the two types of anxiety she defines in her book — False (avoidable) and True (purposeful) — and how understanding the difference can completely transform your relationship with anxiety. Ellen explains how hormones shape our mood and perception, why modern life keeps us stuck in “all yang, no yin,” and how small shifts in sleep, nourishment, and nervous-system care can restore balance. This conversation bridges logic and magic, reminding us that true mental health isn’t about fixing symptoms — it’s about coming back into balance, reclaiming your wholeness, and trusting your inner wisdom.

We spend so much time trying not to age… but the real question isn’t how not to age — it’s how can we age well? In this heartfelt conversation of the HEAL with Kelly Podcast, I sit down with Dr. Kerry Burnight, leading Gerontologist and author of the bestselling book Joyspan: The Art and Science of Thriving in Life’s Second Half, to explore what it truly means to live a long, meaningful, and joy-filled life. We talk about how to expand not just your lifespan or healthspan, but your joyspan— the quality of your days, your relationships, and your inner life. Dr. Kerry shares inspiring insights on how joy differs from happiness, why internalized ageism keeps us from thriving, and how autonomy, purpose, and connection become essential nutrients as we grow older. We also talk about what really matters at the end of life — and how to start cultivating it right now, no matter your age. A beautiful reminder that aging isn’t something to fear—it’s a sacred invitation to grow, love, and live more fully.

Have you ever wondered what would happen if you stripped away every distraction —  your screens, your routines, and even your ability to see? What hidden thoughts would rise to the surface? What suppressed emotions would finally have room to move? And what would catch up to you that you have been running from, for potentially years. In this episode, I sit down with Scott Berman, the founder of Sky Cave Retreats, which is the first darkness retreat center in the United States. Scott has spent more than 70 days in total darkness and has guided over 600 people through this profound inner journey. And after doing a darkness retreat myself, I finally understand why Sky Caves is booked out for 3 years and has a 3000-person waitlist. Darkness itself is a threat to the nervous system. And Scott lets everyone know who signs up that their system will probably not react the way they anticipate. He shares that the only thing one needs to bring is HONESTY, and what happens to those who don’t.  I share my experience during 4 nights and 3 days in pitch blackness and the profound breakthroughs that occurred when I stopped running from, escaping, and numbing my deepest, rawest feelings. This episode is for anyone curious about nervous system healing, the addiction to the stories that hijack our minds, or what becomes possible when you meet yourself with honesty, zero distractions, and the primordial pressure of the dark. Scott is a beautiful human who leaves us with this question before we enter the cave and turn off the lights: “What would nurture do in this moment?” The answer is usually what we should follow to create the safety in our system we are all searching for.    This episode is for all those who are afraid of the dark and those who are afraid of the parts of themselves that may be trapped in the darkest recesses of their subconscious. Luckily, Scott has the compassion, calm, and skills to hold our hand through it all.  Key Moments You'll Love ✨: 🌑 [0:00] Introduction & Most Surprising Reactions in the Dark 🕯️ [4:49] Scott's Biggest Fear & The Journey to Solitude ⛰️ [8:17] How Sky Cave Retreats Was Born From Personal Experience 🧘 [12:57] Why Spiritual People Often Struggle More in Darkness 💡 [17:39] The Evolution: From Trauma to Three-Day Experiences 🌊 [25:13] Darkness vs Plant Medicine: Subtle vs Peak Experiences 💔 [39:52] Kelly's Experience: Anger, Armor & The Scared Little Girl 🔥 [45:44] Discharging Rage & Finding What's Underneath ❤️ [57:19] The Zero Gravity Chair Revelation: Internal Freedom 🙏 [1:23:44] Shame, Judgment & The Permission to Be Authentic LINKS Sky Caves Retreat website: https://www.skycaveretreats.com/ Sky Cave Retreat on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/skycaveretreats/ See where you can watch HEAL Documentary now by going to:⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠https://healwithkelly.co/documentary.html ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Read The HEAL Book with double the content of the movie:⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠https://healwithkelly.co/book.html⁠⁠⁠⁠ Join Our Email Community:⁠⁠⁠ ⁠https://www.healwithkelly.co/subscribe.html⁠⁠⁠ Join Our Substack: ⁠⁠⁠https://healwithkelly.substack.com/ Learn more about your ad choices.

This week’s episode is extra special because I’m joined by my precious and precocious six-year-old daughter, Riley Grace Gores — my favorite guest of all time. We sat down for a sweet and silly conversation about all the things that light her up — from fashion to Disneyland adventures, singing lessons, and what she dreams of being when she grows up.   We also talk about family memories, the fire that changed our lives, and what she’s learned about bravery, kindness, and joy along the way. Riley even shares her favorite and least favorite things about yours truly, her ideal superpower (it involves candy), and a favorite impersonation that she learned from a certain Dancing with the Stars host.    It’s a tender, funny, and endearing conversation that reminded me how much wisdom and innocence lives in a child’s heart — and how healing (and awakening!) it can be to see the world through their eyes. By the way, Riley made sure I treated her like an Amex and “DO NOT leave home without her” :) . I hope this episode brings a smile to your face and a little more light to your day.   👗 [0:55] Riley's Fashion Journey & Isabel Marant Obsession 🔥 [6:30] The Palisades Fire: A Kid's Perspective 💄 [8:48] Summer Fridays Lip Gloss & Sister Lauren's Success 🎤 [9:52] Singing Lessons, Crushes & School Adventures 🎢 [13:33] Disneyland vs Legoland: The Verdict 🚗 [17:42] The Car Lock-In Trauma Story 🩵 [20:00] Sports, Travel & Palm Beach Love 🍦 [24:39] Blue Dye Ice Cream Meltdown & Body Awareness 😂 [31:23] Favorite Ways to Relax & What Makes Riley Laugh 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 [33:12] What Kids Wish Adults Did Better SPONSORS:HONEYLOVE: Go to https://www.honeylove.com/HEAL and use our exclusive link to get 20% OFF.

The body is always speaking — through tension, emotion, intuition, and energy. The question is: are we listening? In this week’s episode, I sit down with my dear friend Dr. John Amaral — a world-renowned energy practitioner, chiropractor, and educator who has worked with thousands of people across more than 70 countries, including Oscar-winning actors, Grammy-winning musicians, Olympic athletes, and global leaders, including his decades-long collaboration with Tony Robbins. We explore how trauma and emotion get trapped in the body, why awareness is essential for growth, and how developing somatic and energetic sensitivity allows us to feel, truly feel, what’s happening beneath the surface.   We talk about the difference between releasing energy and avoiding emotion, how the body adapts when we lose choice, and why feeling deeply — rather than bypassing discomfort — is the key to genuine healing and embodiment. When you reconnect to your body and learn to really feel ALL of the feels, healing becomes not something you chase — but something that naturally unfolds.  Key Moments You'll Love ✨ 🌊 [0:00] Introduction 💫 [1:43] From Disconnection to Healing 🧠 [7:15] Understanding Somatic Awareness vs Physical Awareness ⭐ [9:20] The Subtle Body & Energy Fields Explained 🎯 [15:21] How Energy Fields Organize Matter & Disease ⚡ [22:47] Why We Somaticize Emotions Into Physical Pain 🔓 [31:05] Breaking Free From State-Changing Addictions 🌀 [46:35] The Adaptation Patterns & Losing Our Choice 💝 [52:56] Thawing Out Rigidity & Learning to Feel Again 🌟 [1:05:21] Somatic Energy Training & The Future of Medicine LINKS John Amaral website: https://johnamaral.com/ John Amaral on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drjohnamaral/ Dr. John Amaral's Somatic Energy Training: https://somaticenergy.com/ See where you can watch HEAL Documentary now by going to:⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠https://healwithkelly.co/documentary.html ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Read The HEAL Book with double the content of the movie:⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠https://healwithkelly.co/book.html⁠⁠⁠⁠ Join Our Email Community:⁠⁠⁠ ⁠https://www.healwithkelly.co/subscribe.html⁠⁠⁠ Join Our Substack: ⁠⁠⁠https://healwithkelly.substack.com/ Learn more about your ad choices.

What if the secret to living longer, happier, and healthier wasn’t found in a pill, a supplement, or a gym membership — but in the simple way we live our daily lives? In this week’s episode of HEAL with Kelly, I sit down with Dan Buettner — National Geographic Explorer, multiple New York Times bestselling author, and founder of the Blue Zones Project, which has helped over 10 million Americans live healthier, longer lives. Dan is the man who discovered the five places in the world where people live the longest — Okinawa, Sardinia, Ikaria, Nicoya, and Loma Linda — and he’s on a mission to help the rest of us do the same. His groundbreaking Netflix series Live to 100 brought these discoveries to life on screen, earning multiple Emmy Awards and inspiring millions to rethink what it means to truly thrive. We talk about what truly drives longevity — from the foods we eat and how we move, to purpose, community, and the environments that shape our choices without us even realizing it. Dan also shares insights from his newest book, Blue Zones Kitchen: One Pot Meals, and why the healthiest people on Earth aren’t dieting, exercising, or biohacking — they’re simply living in alignment with nature and one another. If you’ve ever wondered how to make healthy living effortless — or what really adds years (and joy) to your life — this conversation will completely shift the way you see health, purpose, and the power of environment.

What if everything you've been searching for is already inside you — just waiting to be remembered? What if the exhaustion, the blocks, the patterns that keep repeating aren't signs that something is wrong with you, but simply energy that needs to be cleared? You are not broken. You never were. You are your own best healer. In this extraordinary episode of HEAL with Kelly, I sit down with Oliver Niño — The Spiritual Activator, one of the most sought-after energy healers working today. Oliver didn’t choose this path. He was a serial entrepreneur building and scaling businesses when his gifts suddenly activated during a trip to Sedona. What followed was a complete life pivot, and eventually the discovery that he came from a long lineage of healers in the Philippines. Oliver helps others do what once seemed impossible — clear decades of pain and activate spiritual gifts they didn’t know they had. Together, we explore the energetic reality behind manifestation and why so many people struggle to create what they want despite doing all the “right” things. He reveals how unprocessed energy — from childhood trauma, environmental stress, and even generational patterns — blocks our natural creative power. When we remove these blocks, we stop forcing and start flowing. Life becomes easy, abundant, and aligned. We also dive into teachings from his book, Do This Before Bed: Simple 5-Minute Practices That Will Change Your Life, which offers practical ways to release the energy you’ve absorbed throughout the day, reset your vibration, and tap into your body’s innate ability to heal and restore while you sleep. This episode is an invitation to remember what’s always been true: that healing doesn’t come from outside of you — it begins within you.

Sometimes, advocating for your own health can save your life. In this inspiring conversation of HEAL with Kelly, I sit down with my good friend Cameron Mathison, Emmy-nominated actor, television host, and wellness advocate to talk about the journey that transformed not just his body, but his entire life. You may know Cameron from General Hospital, All My Children, or as a beloved host on Entertainment Tonight and Hallmark’s Home & Family, but behind the spotlight was a decade-long struggle with unexplained health issues that eventually led to a shocking diagnosis: kidney cancer. Cameron shares how this wake-up call became a powerful turning point, guiding him away from surface-level “health” and toward a deeper, more holistic approach rooted in functional medicine, mindfulness, and self-awareness. Today, Cameron feels and looks stronger and more vibrant than ever and he’s helping others do the same through Health360, a functional health coaching platform that empowers people to reset their bodies, optimize their energy, and truly thrive. We explore what it really means to take ownership of your health, why prevention is the most powerful medicine, and how practices like meditation and emotional awareness can be just as healing as food or fitness. Cameron’s story is a reminder that true healing begins when you start listening to your body and that it’s never too late to choose a new path.

What if a powerful and profound therapy session happened without saying a single word—just by standing in a field with a 1,200-pound mirror? In this deeply personal solo episode of HEAL with Kelly, I take you inside my transformative equine therapy session, where the horses became profound teachers of authenticity, protection, boundaries, and emotional release. You’ll hear how one horse reflected back my inner critic, how another embodied a protective masculine energy I had never fully experienced before, and how these encounters helped me release grief, regulate my nervous system, and reconnect with my essence of joy and awe. Beyond the corral, I guide you through my process of conscious creation — from gratitude journaling to visualization practices, to the simple yet powerful phrase “Just Imagine.” You’ll learn how imagination, elevated emotion, and gratitude combine to rewire the brain, shift your biochemistry, send new information into the invisible field around you, and open you up to new dimensions of infinite possibility. We’ll explore how frustration, control, and timelines can block manifestation and why the key is to trust the field, not the how. I also share personal stories of loss, alignment, and rediscovery, revealing how consistent healing work and faith in divine intelligence create space for true miracles. This episode is for anyone ready to reclaim their creative power, elevate their vibration, and remember that when we align with joy and truth, life shows up in the most miraculous and beautiful ways.  Key Moments You’ll Love ✨: 🐴 [0:00] Introduction & The Power of Equine Therapy 💫 [1:09] The Mind-Blowing Healing Session That Changed Everything 🧠 [3:50] How Horses Regulate Our Nervous System & Reflect Our Energy 💔 [6:27] Grief, Letting Go, and Emotional Release Through Equine Work 🤍 [12:15] The Moment I Finally Felt Safe in Masculine Energy 🪞 [20:29] The Bully Horse, Inner Critic & Learning to Set Boundaries 🌈 [25:14] My Daily Manifestation Practice for Miracles & Gratitude 🌿 [47:05] Alignment, Flow, and How Miracles Naturally Unfold LINKS Kelly Gores Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/kellygores/ HEAL with Kelly Website: https://healwithkelly.co/ HEAL with Kelly Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/healwithkelly/ Into the Magic Shop by James R.

We’re facing a fertility crisis that few people are truly talking about. Sperm counts have dropped by more than 50% in the last 50 years, infertility now affects 1 in 5 couples, and modern stress, toxins, and lifestyle shifts are making it harder than ever to conceive. But there is hope — and it starts with awareness. In this episode of HEAL with Kelly Podcast, I sit down with Ronit Menashe, co-founder of WeNatal, to explore the future of fertility and what every couple needs to know before trying to conceive. Ronit opens up about her personal journey of loss, discovery, and purpose that led her to create a company reshaping how we think about preconception health — for both women and men. Together we dive into the often-overlooked role of male fertility, the concept of “Trimester Zero” (the 100 days before conception that set the stage for pregnancy health), and why lifestyle factors like sleep, stress, toxins, and diet play such a powerful role in outcomes. We also touch on sensitive but necessary conversations around miscarriage, hormone health, birth control, and the emotional toll of the fertility journey. This episode is equal parts science, story, and soul — a guide to reclaiming hope, preparing your body, and reframing fertility as an opportunity for empowerment rather than fear. Whether you’re just beginning to think about starting a family, navigating infertility, or simply curious about the hidden links between environment, lifestyle, and reproductive health, this conversation will leave you with knowledge, tools, and inspiration to move forward with clarity.

What if everything you’ve been told about anxiety only scratches the surface? We’re taught to quiet our thoughts, reframe our worries, and “think positive.” But what if the real root of anxiety isn’t in your head at all, it’s in your body? In this transformative episode of the HEAL with Kelly Podcast, I sit down with Dr. Russell Kennedy - physician, neuroscientist, and best-selling author of Anxiety Rx, who has made it his life’s mission to uncover what truly heals anxiety. Drawing from his own decades-long struggle with crippling worry, psychedelic journeys, and breakthroughs in somatic healing, Dr. Kennedy reveals how anxiety is actually an alarm state stored in the body, often rooted in unresolved childhood trauma. Together, we explore why coping strategies and pharmaceuticals often fall short, and how practices like “sensation without explanation,” breathwork, and inner child connection open the door to real healing. Dr. Kennedy also shares why suppressed anger can turn children into adults locked in victimhood, how worry tricks the brain into false certainty, and why reclaiming a spiritual connection with yourself may be the missing piece in resolving anxiety. This episode is practical, eye-opening, and deeply human. If you’ve ever wrestled with anxiety or love someone who has, Dr. Kennedy’s wisdom will help you understand it in a whole new way, and guide you back to a place of calm, safety, and inner trust.

I wanted to share a special conversation with you this week — a bonus episode that’s very close to my heart. I recently joined my dear friend Aaron Lazar on his new podcast, Impossible Dreams. You may remember Aaron from his inspiring episode on HEAL with Kelly. He’s not only a Broadway star and a beautiful soul, but also someone courageously walking through one of life’s greatest challenges — living with ALS — with extraordinary heart, humor, and hope. Aaron’s perspective on healing and his unwavering spirit continue to move and inspire me deeply. I’m honored to help share his story and amplify his message.

What if the very tests your doctor says are “normal” are actually missing the real reason you feel exhausted, foggy, anxious, or out of balance? For millions of people, thyroid issues are at the heart of their symptoms — yet they’re often overlooked, misdiagnosed, or mistreated.   In this episode of the HEAL with Kelly Podcast, I sit down with McCall McPherson, PA-C — a physician associate, TEDx speaker, and founder of Modern Thyroid Clinic — to uncover the truth about thyroid health and the issues with how the conventional model addresses it. McCall shares both her medical expertise and her personal journey with hypothyroidism, shedding light on why so many patients aren’t getting the answers they need and what we can do differently.   Together, we explore the crucial differences between Hashimoto’s, Graves’, and hypothyroidism, why relying on TSH markers alone misses the bigger picture, and the labs that actually matter. We talk about the role of inflammation, toxins, and stress in autoimmune thyroid disease, as well as the hidden connections between thyroid health, heart disease, diabetes, and cognitive decline.   McCall also opens up about controversial topics many doctors don’t discuss — from the risks of birth control and misconceptions about hormone replacement therapy to the overuse of GLP-1 drugs. And she offers practical, empowering lifestyle shifts — from food to relationships to microdosing peptides — that can make a profound difference in daily health.   This is an eye-opening and life-changing conversation for anyone who has ever been told their labs are “normal” but still knows something isn’t right.
