  • Why does it feel like no matter how well we eat, exercise, or manage stress, something still isn’t quite right?

    In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Scott Sherr, an expert in integrative medicine and hyperbaric oxygen therapy, to explore the missing links in modern health: oxygen, mitochondria, and nervous system regulation.

    We dive into the science of energy production, the impact of chronic stress on the body, and why so many of us are operating in survival mode without even realizing it. Dr. Sherr also breaks down cutting-edge therapies like hyperbaric oxygen, methylene blue, and low-dose nicotine—how they work, who they’re for, and why they’re often misunderstood.

    Whether you're struggling with brain fog, fatigue, or burnout, or simply want to optimize your health on a deeper level, this episode is packed with insights that could change the way you think about healing and longevity.

    Dr. Scott Sherr is a board-certified internal medicine physician specializing in integrative health, hyperbaric oxygen therapy, and cutting-edge longevity treatments. He is the founder of OneBase Health, a company focused on optimizing health through advanced technologies, and a leader in the field of Health Optimization Medicine & Practice (HOMe/HOPe). His approach merges Western science with holistic strategies, helping people restore energy, resilience, and overall well-being.

  • Have you ever wondered why so many of us feel like we’re running on empty—despite eating clean, exercising, and prioritizing our wellness? It’s that frustrating gap between doing "all the right things" and still feeling off, with brain fog, low energy, or restless sleep creeping in.

    In today’s episode, I’m joined by Dr. Stephanie Venn-Watson, a veterinary epidemiologist and co-founder of Fatty15, to explore a groundbreaking discovery that’s reshaping how we think about fats and cellular health. What if one specific nutrient—C15:0—could strengthen our cells, slow down aging, and restore balance in ways we never imagined? And here’s the wild part: this research started with dolphins and led to one of the most exciting longevity breakthroughs in decades.

    We’ll unpack how C15:0 became known as the "missing piece" in modern nutrition, why it’s essential for everything from gut health to brain function, and how small shifts—like adding the right type of fat back into your routine—can have a huge impact on how you feel.

    If you’ve been feeling stuck in the cycle of fatigue and “quick-fix” health trends, this conversation is your invitation to break free, simplify, and tune into what your body really needs.

    Let’s dive in!

  • Healing is often presented as a straightforward path: visit the doctor, take the prescribed medication, follow the treatment plan. But what if true healing is far more complex—deeply rooted in both the mind and body?

    In this episode, I sit down with Payton Nyquvest, founder and CEO of Numinus, to explore the intersection of psychedelic therapy, trauma healing, and the ancient wisdom that modern medicine often overlooks.

    We’ll discuss how psychedelics influence neuroplasticity and memory processing, why they are not a shortcut to healing but rather a tool for deeper self-awareness, and the crucial distinction between therapeutic and recreational use. Payton also breaks down the mechanisms behind trauma storage in the body and how intentional psychedelic-assisted therapy may help unlock profound healing.

    As a leader in the integration of psychedelics into healthcare, Payton brings a grounded, evidence-based perspective to a topic that is often misunderstood. Whether you're curious about the science behind these therapies or simply seeking a deeper understanding of how to reconnect with yourself, this conversation offers invaluable insights.

  • We’ve been told that healing is all about diet, exercise, and supplements. But what if true healing goes beyond the physical?

    In this episode, I sit down with Jim Curtis, a healer, hypnotherapist, and NLP expert, to explore how emotional inflammation, subconscious programming, and unprocessed trauma impact our health more than we realize.

    We break down how unresolved emotions can manifest as chronic pain, illness, and anxiety, why food and supplements alone aren’t enough, and how hypnotherapy, NLP, and somatic practices can help rewire the subconscious for deep healing. Jim also reveals the most common limiting beliefs keeping people stuck and how shifting your frequency—not just your habits—can lead to real transformation.

    Jim Curtis is a leader in mind-body healing, NLP, and hypnotherapy, specializing in how subconscious beliefs shape physical health. With a background in nutrition, functional medicine, and behavioral psychology, he bridges the gap between scientific research and holistic healing.

  • We’re always looking for the next big thing in wellness—the latest supplement, the perfect skincare routine, the breakthrough treatment that promises to turn back the clock. But what if the real secret to aging well isn’t found in a lab but in the wisdom of nature?

    Today, I’m sitting down with Dr. Carolina Reis Oliveira, PhD scientist and co-founder of OneSkin, to talk about the future of skincare and how we can move beyond surface-level beauty to true skin longevity. She’s here to challenge everything we think we know about aging, starting with the idea that most skincare products don’t actually target the root cause of aging at all.

    In this episode, we’re breaking down the science of peptides, why collagen supplements might not be doing what you think, and the biggest mistakes people make when it comes to their skin. We also talk about something I think about a lot—how our modern lifestyle, from stress to social media to environmental toxins, is accelerating the aging process and what we can do to slow it down.

    Carolina’s journey from stem cell research to pioneering a new approach to skincare is fascinating, and trust me, you’re going to walk away from this conversation seeing beauty and longevity in a whole new way.

    Dr. Carolina Reis Oliveira is a PhD scientist in stem cell biology, co-founder, and CEO of OneSkin. With years of research in skin aging and cellular health, she’s redefining skincare with a science-first approach that actually targets aging at the molecular level.

  • We’re constantly searching for the next wellness breakthrough, the latest supplement, the perfect diet, the ultimate “hack” to feel our best. But what if true healing isn’t about adding more? What if the most powerful medicine has been right in front of us all along?

    Today, I’m joined by Carly Kremer, founder of Beekeeper’s Naturals, to explore how ancient healing meets modern science, and why bee products like propolis, royal jelly, and bee pollen might be the missing piece in your wellness routine.

    In this episode, we break down why most honey isn’t what you think and how to find the real thing, the hidden power of bee products for immunity, brain health, and hormones, and how pesticides in our food are affecting both human health and the environment, plus, what we can do about it. We also talk about the biggest mistakes people make in wellness (spoiler: more isn’t always better) and the simple shifts that help us stay present in the chaos of motherhood, business, and life.

    Carly Kremer is the founder and CEO of Beekeeper’s Naturals, a company redefining wellness with clean, science-backed remedies from the hive. Today, Beekeeper’s Naturals is a leader in pesticide-free beekeeping and sustainable medicine, helping people heal, while protecting the planet.

  • Science tells us one thing. Spirituality tells us another. But what if they’ve been saying the same thing all along?

    We’ve been conditioned to think that healing is either clinical or mystical, either you follow the science, or you dive into ancient practices. But what if the missing piece in your healing journey isn’t a better diet, a stricter routine, or even more discipline, but a whole new way of seeing yourself?

    In this episode, Dr. Theresa Bullard-White joins me to break down what quantum science, epigenetics, and ancient wisdom all point to: your body isn’t just reacting to life, it’s creating it.

    Together, we’ll talk about why the way you think, feel, and exist in the world has a direct impact on your well-being, and when you learn to shift from linear, Newtonian thinking to a quantum, multidimensional perspective, everything changes.

    Dr. Theresa Bullard-White is a physicist, author, and world-renowned teacher. With a Ph.D. in physics and decades of experience studying consciousness. As the host of Mystery Teachings on Gaia TV and co-founder of the Quantum Learning Academy, she empowers people to move beyond linear thinking.

  • Have you ever woken up after a full night’s sleep and still felt completely drained? Or noticed how stress doesn’t just stay in your head—it shows up in your stomach, your heart, and even your energy levels? There’s a reason for that, and it all comes back to the vagus nerve. This incredible nerve is your body’s reset button, but for so many of us, it’s running on “low power mode.” That’s why stress lingers, digestion falters, and energy feels elusive.

    In this week's episode, we’re exploring how the vagus nerve connects your gut, brain, and heart—literally shaping how you respond to life’s challenges. From calming inflammation to boosting mental clarity and improving digestion, this nerve is the key to unlocking resilience. And the best part? Learning how to activate it doesn’t require fancy tools or time-consuming routines—just a few simple changes that fit into your life right now.

    Joining me is Dr. Navaz Habib, a Doctor of Chiropractic and Certified Functional Medicine Practitioner specializing in optimizing the body’s autonomic nervous system and its connection to overall health. Author of Activate Your Vagus Nerve, Dr. Habib has a background in clinical practice and a passion for empowering patients through science.

  • Have you ever wondered why so many children today are dealing with chronic health issues? From food sensitivities and ADHD to anxiety and autoimmune disorders, these conditions have become so common that we’ve almost normalized them. But here’s the truth: this isn’t normal—it’s a wake-up call. Our kids are showing us that something in our environment and lifestyle needs to change.

    In today’s episode, I’m joined by Beth Lambert, an integrative health expert and the founder of Documenting Hope, an initiative focused on reversing chronic illnesses in children. We’ll explore why conditions like autism, asthma, and autoimmune disorders are on the rise, how modern habits have disconnected us from natural rhythms, and how simple shifts—like removing common toxins and upgrading nutrition—can lead to profound healing.

    Beth also shares inspiring success stories of families who’ve seen life-changing improvements through small, mindful changes.

  • Have you ever wondered why so many women feel dismissed when they bring up hormonal symptoms? From unexplained fatigue to mood swings, weight gain, or feeling "off," these struggles are often labeled as “just part of being a woman.” But here’s the truth: your hormonal health is the foundation of your well-being, and ignoring it can ripple into every part of your life—your energy, your mood, even your relationships.

    Today, I’m sitting down with Dr. Sarah Daccarett, a physician who’s spent her career unearthing the hidden truths about women’s health. Together, we’re diving into the unspoken crisis happening in women’s hormonal wellness. We’re talking about why symptoms like brain fog, irritability, and low energy are too often dismissed, how environmental toxins and outdated medical practices are making it worse, and the small but powerful steps you can take to turn things around.

    This episode is all about reclaiming what’s been overlooked—your ability to thrive at every stage of life. We’ll break down the myths surrounding hormone therapy, the ripple effect of ignoring your body’s needs, and the tools you can use to feel more energized, more balanced, and truly connected to yourself.

    Dr. Sarah Daccarett is a board-certified physician specializing in women’s hormonal health, integrative medicine, and longevity. With extensive training in hormone optimization, autoimmunity, and metabolic health, Dr. Daccarett blends evidence-based medicine with holistic practices to help women regain balance and vitality at every stage of life.

  • Do you ever feel like you’re racing through life, ticking off every wellness “to-do,” but still feeling drained, disconnected, or just
 off? In a world obsessed with speed, the real magic might lie in learning to slow down. What if slowing down could actually make you healthier, more energized, and deeply fulfilled?

We talk about how ancient wisdom like Qigong and Chinese medicine can transform the way we approach stress, digestion, relationships, and even weight loss.

    We also discuss how simple, mindful practices can help us shift out of "fight or flight" mode and into a state of flow—where our bodies naturally heal and thrive. From rethinking your morning routine to creating rituals that connect you with nature, this conversation is packed with valuable insights.

    Lee Holden is a globally recognized Qigong expert and Chinese medicine practitioner whose programs on PBS have reached millions. With decades of experience, Lee’s teachings blend ancient traditions with modern science to help people find balance and vitality.

  • Feeling like brain fog, forgetfulness, and exhaustion are just things you have to live with? Imagine walking into a room and forgetting why you’re there, or struggling to stay focused when life demands so much from you.

    In this episode of Rooted in Wellness, I’m joined by Emma and Helen, founders of Make Time Wellness, to tackle this often-ignored topic. We talk about why brain health is crucial for women, the signs to watch out for, and the simple, everyday habits that can make a real difference.

    If you’ve been feeling mentally foggy, physically drained, or just want to protect your brain as you age, this episode is your wake-up call.

    Emma and Helen, founders of Make Time Wellness, bring expertise in women’s cognitive health through years of research and personal experience. Emma’s journey with brain fog and Helen’s focus on nutrition and lifestyle have shaped a science-backed approach to brain wellness. Together, they’re redefining how women care for their minds.

  • Have you ever felt like you’re doing everything “right” for your health but still not feeling your best? Maybe it’s the brain fog that won’t lift, the energy crash mid-afternoon, or the bloating that seems to happen no matter what you eat. It’s frustrating, right? But what if those symptoms weren’t “just normal” but rather signals your body is craving something deeper—like a reset?

    In this episode of Rooted in Wellness, I sit down with Dr. James DiNicolantonio, a cardiovascular research scientist, to explore the silent ways our diet and lifestyle might be holding us back. From the dangers of seed oils to the surprising impact of nutrient deficiencies, Dr. James and I dive into the science behind optimizing your energy, digestion, and mental clarity.

    We also discuss the critical role of salt in brain function, how to manage sugar cravings without complete restriction, and why your morning coffee might be draining your body more than fueling it.

    Dr. James DiNicolantonio is a leading expert in cardiovascular health and nutrition science, with over 300 publications in medical literature and bestselling books like The Salt Fix and Superfuel. He is also the Medical Advisor for IM8, and provides exclusive insights into the groundbreaking science driving IM8’s mission—a company dedicated to revolutionizing health and wellness through cutting-edge, evidence-based solutions designed to enhance vitality and longevity.
