This week Tee is excited to welcome Matthew Frederick the founder of Nobiesse Laboratories. His mission is to push the boundaries of what's possible in these fields, of skincare and he is committed to creating high-quality, personal care products and services designed to enhance and extend human life. Driven by a deep-seated passion for transformative change, Matthew founded Nobiesse to fill a significant gap in the consumer market: the need for authentic Do-No-Harm products that prioritize consumer well-being and metabolic health.  
After researching and testing hundreds of products Matthew discovered that just because a product has “natural” ingredients, is labeled “organic”, or is even FDA-approved doesn't mean it is safe for use. He decided to set out and create effective and truly clean products regardless of the ingredients' source. Now  Nobiesse develops and markets the highest quality, non-GMO, non-toxic personal care, skin care, and household care products available anywhere.
In this chat, Tee and Matthew also explore his journey into the world of health and wellness while giving listeners incredible advice on how to address their concerns about toxins and health among family and friends who may not be receptive to the science and realities of the growing toxic load on our environment and health.

This week Tee is excited to welcome Dr. Leona Allen, a licensed chiropractor and founder of Freedom Health Systems. In this episode, Dr. Allen and Tee discuss the often-overlooked relationship between toxins and weight issues. Dr. Leona also shares her journey from struggling with weight loss after the birth of her two boys and discovering the significant impact of toxins on overall health. 
Dr. Allen also emphasizes the importance of detoxifying on a cellular level to improve health and facilitate weight loss, highlighting that diet and exercise alone may not be sufficient for those facing weight loss resistance due to toxic overload. The conversation also covers the role of cellular inflammation in health, the major toxins to avoid, and practical steps toward detoxification and healthier living. This is an often overlooked subject for both men and women looking to lose weight in a healthy way and Dr. Leona’s insights will prove to be both encouraging and invaluable.

This week Tee is delighted to welcome Xenia Brandstetter who shares her transformative journey from battling multiple autoimmune diseases in her twenties to becoming a symptom-free wellness coach. Initially working in finance and living a seemingly dream life, Xenia’s health deteriorated, leading to a diagnosis of autoimmune hepatitis and Crohn's disease. She discusses the challenges of dealing with vague symptoms, the conventional medical system's focus on medication without exploring root causes, and the personal and professional impacts of her health struggles. 
Xenia also discusses how she eventually quit her job to focus on recovery, navigating through overwhelming information and various diets before finding balance and healing by adopting a holistic approach, focusing on mindset, diet, and lifestyle changes. Now, as a health coach, Xenia aims to support others with autoimmune conditions, emphasizing the importance of a personalized approach to diet, stress management, and self-identity beyond illness. 
In this enlightening talk, Xenia and Tee discuss the broader issues of environmental toxins, stress, and the modern lifestyle as contributing factors to autoimmune diseases, advocating for individual empowerment in your health and wellness journeys. Xenia also shares details of how she overcame her harrowing struggles and informs listeners of the three key things that you can start doing today to turn your health journey around!

This week, Tee is excited to welcome Kim Rahir live from Madrid, Spain for an empowering talk about the benefits of building muscle in your midlife and beyond. Kim is a 60-year-old mother of three who was diagnosed with MS 10 years ago and decided to ignore her doctor's advice and muscle her way back to a happy life. This year she became European Champion in Masters Weightlifting in her age and weight category. This journey inspired her to leave her career in journalism in her 50s and become a health coach for middle-aged women with a big focus on reactivating and rebuilding muscle. Today, she helps women tap into an abundant source of vitality by reactivating and maintaining their muscles while ditching diet culture to eat foods that nourish.
In this chat, Tee and ​​Kim discuss the importance of muscle mass for overall health and the benefits of strength training for both physical and mental wellness. Kim shares her approach to nutrition that is focused on strengthening the body. The conversation also addresses the challenges and rewards of starting a fitness journey at any age. Listeners will also hear about Kim's online coaching program 'Fabulous in 15', a holistic coaching approach that helps women implement lifestyle changes that are sustainable with a step-by-step process to build up small habits and mindset techniques that help them go the distance. 
Kim's program is tailored uniquely for each client. Women can also start safely strength training immediately and eat intentionally to improve their quality of life without getting derailed when life gets in the way. Her life-changing mission and message is that it's never too late to invest in one's health through intentional nutrition and exercise!

In addition, Tee and Mani also touch on the topic of skincare, discussing the impact of diet, sun protection, and potential supplements on skin health, also highlighting how Vitamin D plays a critical role in overall well-being.
