    Ep. 59: Your Home Has 300,000 Items In It. Here's What That's Doing to Your Health

    What if better health isn't about adding more—but removing what's getting in the way? In this episode of Grounded Wellness, Bethany sits down with Joshua Fields Millburn— New York Times bestselling author, speaker, and co-founder of The Minimalists— to explore the surprising connection between minimalism and health. While most wellness conversations focus on what to add— more supplements, more routines, more optimization— Joshua makes the case that true well-being often comes from doing less. Together, Bethany and Joshua unpack how physical clutter, busy schedules, endless consumerism, and constant digital stimulation can quietly contribute to stress, burnout, and disconnection from what matters most. Whether you're looking to simplify your home, reduce overwhelm, or rethink what wellness really means, you'll leave this episode with practical tools and a new perspective on living a healthier, more intentional life.

    What if protecting your family's health starts long before symptoms ever appear? In this episode of Grounded Wellness, Bethany sits down with nutritionist, educator, and Realfoodology founder Courtney Swan for a wide-ranging conversation on fertility, pregnancy, pesticides, mold exposure, and the everyday choices that shape lifelong health.

Together, Bethany and Courtney explore preparing your body for pregnancy, navigating fertility after 40, uncovering hidden mold exposure, understanding glyphosate and pesticides, choosing nutrient-dense foods, and raising children with a healthy foundation from day one. They also discuss regenerative farming, balancing intentional living with flexibility, and why real food should be accessible to every family.

    Ep. 55: BREAKING: FDA Fraud + The Raw Milk Recall That Shouldn’t Have Happened

    What happens when the biggest raw dairy farm in America goes head-to-head with the FDA? After Raw Farm was pressured into issuing a voluntary recall “under protest,” founder Mark McAfee is speaking out about what he says really happened behind the scenes — from 14,000 negative pathogen tests to shocking conversations with regulators about what qualifies as “raw” cheese. In this episode, Mark returns to Grounded Wellness for a deep dive into the recent FDA investigation involving Raw Farm’s raw cheese products, the growing movement around raw dairy, and why more people are beginning to question the modern food system. We also explore the bigger conversation around pasteurization, gut health, industrial agriculture, food transparency, and what Mark refers to as the growing epidemic of “pasteurization intolerance.” This episode is a powerful conversation about consumer choice, food freedom, ancestral nutrition, and the growing movement toward food as medicine.  If you loved this episode, be sure to subscribe, leave a review, and share this episode with someone who’s been questioning their health or looking for a new perspective.

    Ep 54: Alex Clark Unfiltered: Health, Relationships + The One Thing She’ll Never Do As A Mom

    In this candid conversation, Bethany sits down with her friend Alex Clark, host of Culture Apothecary and a leading voice in the modern health movement, for an unfiltered look at the journey that transformed her life. From her days living on a standard American diet to becoming deeply immersed in the world of non-toxic living, Alex shares the wake-up call that changed everything and why so many of us feel “off” without realizing it. Together, they explore what’s really behind the current health crisis, how modern culture is shaping the way we eat, parent, and live, and why questioning the status quo can feel both empowering and uncomfortable. Alex also opens up about dating, relationships, and the lessons she’s learned along the way. Plus, she shares her honest (and sometimes controversial) thoughts on motherhood— including the one thing she plans to do very differently. Let’s dig in.
