    96 Blakwater: Evidence Informed Traditional Medicine

    In this powerful episode, we sit down with Dr. Rufus “Blakwatter” Fuller, DAOM, L.Ac, a respected healer, endurance athlete, yoga instructor, community leader, and one of Long Beach’s most recognizable voices in wellness and movement. Known throughout Long Beach for his work in evidence-informed traditional medicine, Dr. Fuller blends acupuncture, herbal medicine, nutrition, movement, and lifestyle practices to help people heal at the root. But his work extends far beyond the clinic. A dedicated marathon runner and race organizer, Blakwatter has built a reputation for bringing people together through movement, discipline, and community. As the host of the beloved Yoga on the Bluff in Long Beach, he has helped create spaces where thousands have come to reconnect with breath, body, and presence against the backdrop of the Pacific. In this conversation, Dr. Fuller opens up about his upbringing in South Los Angeles and the challenges, adversity, and life experiences that shaped his path. He shares how those early environments forged resilience, sharpened his purpose, and ultimately guided him toward a life devoted to healing, service, and empowerment. Together, we explore the intersection of ancient medicine and modern science, the power of nervous system regulation, movement as medicine, and what it truly means to transform pain into purpose. This episode is about more than healing the body. It’s about reclaiming identity, honoring your story, and discovering how adversity can become the foundation for service, leadership, and lasting impact. Blakwater: https://linktr.ee/blakwatter

    90 Diamond Heart: Rewriting Your Reality from the Inside Out with Wolf Purnananda Jowers

    In this episode, we sit down with Wolf Purnananda Jowers—a transformation specialist, Master Kambo Practitioner, and ayahuasca facilitator—whose work lives at the intersection of ancient medicine and modern human evolution. This conversation dives deep into his Diamond Heart Project, a powerful framework for personal growth designed to realign your life around the intelligence of the heart. Not the poetic idea of the heart… but the operating system beneath identity, patterns, and perception. Wolf breaks down how most people are unknowingly living from conditioned loops—reacting, surviving, repeating—while the heart offers a different axis entirely: one of clarity, presence, and truth. Through his work with plant medicine and integration practices, he shares how individuals can begin to dissolve those patterns and reshape their internal world… which ultimately reshapes their external reality. We explore: What it actually means to live a heart-guided life How the “Diamond Heart” refracts pressure into purpose instead of pain The role of Kambo and ayahuasca in clearing emotional and energetic density Why transformation isn’t about becoming someone new… but remembering who you are beneath the noise How shifting your internal state can literally alter your experience of time, relationships, and identity This one isn’t surface-level. It’s about stepping out of autopilot and into authorship of your life.

    84 From Stress to Strong | Nathan Nussbaum on Rebuilding the Body, Nervous System, and Human Movement

    Returning guest Nathan Nussbaum, founder of MovMed and author of From Stress to Strong, is back on the GrabLives Podcast to go deeper into what it really takes to rebuild the body after injury, chronic stress, and nervous system overload. Raised in a family rooted in fitness, Nathan’s early life revolved around movement, strength, and performance. But injuries and life stress eventually took their toll, forcing him to confront the gap between traditional fitness and true healing. What followed was years of mentorship, self-experimentation, and hands-on application that reshaped his entire understanding of how the body adapts, compensates, and ultimately heals. In this conversation, Nathan breaks down how stress physically changes the body, how unresolved tension can keep people stuck in cycles of pain, and what it actually means to become strong again. He explains why strength isn’t just about muscles, but about restoring trust, coordination, and resilience within the nervous system. For first responders and anyone living under constant pressure, this episode offers a powerful perspective on recovery, adaptation, and long-term durability. Nathan shares lessons from his own journey and his work with others, showing how movement can become a tool not just for performance, but for reclaiming control over your health and your life. This is a conversation about transformation, ownership, and what becomes possible when you stop chasing symptoms and start rebuilding the system.
