    She Helps Elite Athletes Fuel Their Bodies. Her Advice for the Rest of Us May Surprise You | Julia Furlipa

    What if feeling stronger, having more energy, and getting healthier didn’t start with eating less—but with eating more of the right foods? Today’s guest helps fuel elite athletes, and her approach might change the way you think about taking care of yourself. Julia Furlipa, plant-based nutritionist, wellness coach, author of The 7+ Lifestyle, and founder of Best Life By You, joins Dr. Tara Perry to challenge the most common assumption people make about getting healthy: that it requires eating less, cutting things out, and white-knuckling through willpower. Julia is the nutritionist to two NBA championship-winning Knicks players, a plant-based power athlete known as the Pull-Up Princess, and a coach who has helped clients lose over 40 pounds, reverse infertility diagnoses, and reclaim energy they thought was gone forever — all by adding, never subtracting. She turned a deeply personal experience with illness and loss at 15 into a career dedicated to helping others find the version of health that actually works for their real life. KEY TAKEAWAYS 04:31 At 15, Julia watched her mother survive colon cancer and walk away with no nutritional guidance — doctors said she was fine and sent her home unchanged. That gap is what drove Julia into this work. 08:45 Most people stay stuck in learned eating behaviors from childhood not because they don’t want to change, but because no one has invited them to unlearn them. 16:28 Two books — Crazy Sexy Diet by Kris Carr and How Not to Die by Dr. Michael Greger — read back to back in December 2019 turned Julia fully plant-based overnight. She says her energy went from here to somewhere entirely different. 21:34 Julia’s first NBA client came to her through a series of four interviews — with the team dietician, the sports department, the chef, and the player’s family. Her passion for plant-based nutrition is what sealed it. They’ve since won a championship. 27:09 Every coaching engagement starts with a why that’s strong enough to hold up in court, then a foundation: sleep, morning and evening routines, and water. Fix the foundation first, then address the food. 28:52 Julia never tells clients what to cut. She adds in a green smoothie, some carrots — and lets them arrive at their own conclusions. They quit the Oreos themselves, and that decision sticks. 32:08 The biggest lie in health and wellness is that it’s not possible for you. Julia has seen clients who ate 800 calories a day and couldn’t lose a pound transform completely — not by eating less, but by eating more of the right things. 40:06 One client came in over 300 pounds and said she didn’t want to lose weight — she just wanted to cross her legs. They added food, water, herbal teas, and outdoor playtime with her kids. She dropped 44 pounds and went from a size 24 to a 16. 43:20 A 35-year-old client was told she would never conceive. Four months of mindset work, whole food plant-based eating, and reconnecting with her faith later, she got pregnant at 38 and wrote Julia a book-length thank-you note. 44:40 Three things anyone can do in the next seven days to feel a difference: get seven to nine hours of sleep, drink at least half your body weight in ounces of water, and add one cup of berries plus two to three handfuls of dark leafy greens daily.

    He Built a $500M Empire — and Almost Missed the Most Important Appointment of His Life | Dr. Michael Burcham

    Dr. Michael Burcham, serial entrepreneur, Vanderbilt professor, investor, and founder of the Nashville Entrepreneur Center, joins Dr. Tara Perry to explore what it actually takes to turn potential into reality — and what happens when the pursuit of success collides with life’s most irreversible moments. Dr. Burcham grew up in rural Mississippi in a Medicaid household, built and sold businesses worth hundreds of millions of dollars, and has spent decades coaching the next generation of entrepreneurs at Vanderbilt. He has also walked some of the hardest roads a person can walk — losing his son Ryan at 25, surviving sepsis after a month in the ICU — and emerged with a radically different understanding of what success is actually for. KEY TAKEAWAYS 03:38 The ticket price for entrepreneurship is walking through adversity without being rescued from it — and that resilience can be learned, but only by living it. 09:42 Entrepreneurs must be willing to live five to ten years like no one else would in order to have the rest of their life the way they want it. 11:53 Success means having meaning, being present, and sending the elevator back down — the most important measure is how many other leaders you create. 13:15 People facing end of life count backwards from their final moment and make decisions accordingly. Entrepreneurs would lead better if they thought the same way. 16:28 After losing Ryan and surviving sepsis, Dr. Burcham never once thought about his bank account — only the unfinished conversations and things he hadn’t yet said. 17:31 The most valuable thing a leader can do is get to know their people beyond their resume. In the absence of that knowledge, empathy is almost impossible. 21:56 Safety is not the absence of pressure — it’s the absence of fear. In the absence of fear, people take risks they never would otherwise. 28:08 Grief is not a single emotion. It is a cauldron — and no two people grieve the same way, even when they’ve lost the same person. 32:08 We have far greater capacity to achieve than we give ourselves credit for. We begin to believe stories other people tell about us instead of looking inside for what’s actually there. 39:24 The last night of their trip to Venice Beach, Dr. Burcham and Ryan watched the sunrise on the Santa Monica Pier and talked. Ryan was dead two months later. That trip is now the most vivid memory he has.

    What If We've Been Thinking About Cancer All Wrong? | Dr. Michael Karlfeldt

    Dr. Michael Karlfeldt, naturopathic doctor, integrative oncologist, and author of the #1 Amazon bestseller A Better Way to Treat Cancer, joins Dr. Tara Perry to challenge the most fundamental assumption most of us carry about cancer: that it is the enemy. After nearly 40 years in clinical practice and tens of thousands of patients, Dr. Karlfeldt sees cancer as something far more nuanced — a survival signal from tissue under siege — and his approach to treating it reflects that entirely. In this conversation, he breaks down the Warburg effect, why fasting may be one of the most powerful tools in cancer care, what chronic stress is actually doing to your immune system, and why patients who stop fighting their cancer and start listening to it so often experience the most dramatic recoveries. KEY TAKEAWAYS 05:35 Cancer isn’t rogue tissue trying to destroy you — it’s a survival mechanism from cells under toxic, hypoxic, or emotionally burdened stress, shifting into a more primitive way of producing energy. 08:13 Otto Warburg won the Nobel Prize in 1931 for discovering cancer’s metabolic shift. Dr. Karlfeldt believes the medical establishment abandoned that research too quickly in favor of genetic manipulation — which ultimately couldn’t explain why two identical cancers behave so differently. 11:23 Cancer cells produce energy 16 times less efficiently than healthy cells, which makes them extremely hungry — and extremely vulnerable to fasting before treatment. 13:25 When you fast before chemo or oxidative therapy, cancer cells open up and try to absorb whatever comes their way while healthy cells go into a protective, conserving mode — creating the ideal treatment window. 19:22 Dr. Karlfeldt uses a “bucket effect” approach: address one root cause at a time, let the body respond, then peel back the next layer. A pituitary tumor disappeared with grapeseed extract alone. Three separate brain cancer patients recovered dramatically with targeted IV protocols. 24:07 Two people with identical diagnoses can have completely different root causes — trauma, chemical exposure, mold, pathogens — which is why a one-size-fits-all protocol will always miss the mark. 28:35 Chronic stress locks the body in a sympathetic state that down-regulates the immune system, prevents cellular detoxification, and creates the inflammatory environment cancer thrives in. 33:05 When patients stop treating cancer as the enemy and begin listening to what that tissue is trying to communicate, their immune markers improve, inflammation drops, and energy returns. Dr. Karlfeldt sees it again and again. 35:28 There are 7,000 known peptides — thymosin alpha-1, KPB, BPC-157, and microdosed GLP-3 are among his current favorites for immune regulation, inflammation, and tissue regeneration. 41:41 If Dr. Karlfeldt had a megaphone, he wouldn’t talk about nutrition or technology first. He’d talk about connection — to community, to nature, and to something greater than ourselves.

    40 Years Making People Beautiful. Her Superpower Has Nothing to Do With Looks | Gina Conway

    Gina Conway, multi-award-winning salon owner, sustainability ambassador, and founder of Gina Conway Aveda Salons & Spas in London, joins Dr. Tara Perry to explore what 38 years behind the salon chair has taught her about beauty, confidence, and the human need to be truly seen. Gina grew up in Lake Tahoe, built her salon business from the ground up in London, and — when menopause brought her to her knees at 51 — reinvented her entire approach to wellness. This conversation starts with hair and ends somewhere much deeper: what it means to find the flame in every person, and why the most powerful thing you can offer another human being is your full, undivided attention. KEY TAKEAWAYS 04:50 Gina listens with all her senses — not just her ears — and describes it as a full-body experience with every client. 05:35 What people are really seeking when they sit in a salon chair isn't a haircut. It's confidence and the experience of their inner light being brought out. 07:02 Gina built her business around a "guest journey" — replacing the word "client" with "guest" and redesigning every single touchpoint around positive energy and love. 09:28 At 51, menopause brought Gina to a breaking point — she was resting her head on the dinner table every night, too exhausted to be present with her family or her hundred employees. 14:01 Gina tracks beauty the way others track problems — deliberately following what delights her and lights her up, which has shaped every area of her life and work. 19:45 The first 30 seconds of a guest consultation are everything: connection, rapport, and trust — always eye to eye, never through a mirror. 21:20 People use their hair as armor — to hide, to disappear, to project strength. A hairdresser who understands that is doing something closer to therapy. 24:09 Gina's wellness ritual begins every appointment: 32 essential oils, three deep cleansing breaths, and a full head, neck, and shoulders massage done with deliberate healing intention. 31:40 Beauty is in everybody — not just the 3%. Gina says she would love the opportunity to help anyone who doesn't feel beautiful see what she already sees in them. 32:23 Attractiveness has nothing to do with how you look. Sexy is a state of mind — it's how you hold yourself, how you play, how you express.

    Your Intuition Is Talking. Here’s Why You Aren't Hearing It | Julie Ryan

    What if the answers you’ve been searching for… you already know? What if your intuition has been talking to you all along—and you’ve simply learned not to hear it? Medical intuitive Julie Ryan joins Dr. Tara Perry for a fascinating conversation about intuition, healing, and what may be possible when we start listening.KEY TAKEAWAYS 05:10 Julie raises her vibrational level to the frequency of spirit and watches a hologram of the body in her mind's eye — like an X-ray — to identify what needs healing. 10:15 Nobody ever heals anybody else. Healers facilitate the process, but the body always heals itself. 13:03 If you receive information that feels negative or abusive during spiritual practice, that's your brain — not spirit. Spirit is pure love. 15:59 Energetic healing happens instantly on the spiritual level, then integrates into the physical body — sometimes immediately, sometimes over days or weeks. 22:00 Everyone is already intuitive. Thinking of someone right before they call you? That's your intuition at work. 22:27 Julie's daily routine: legs-up-the-wall meditation, the rosary, and two minutes standing in the superwoman pose facing the sun. 26:43 We all come in with the same spiritual hardware. Children are naturally psychic until adults teach them not to trust it. 33:34 The faces people see during meditation are the multitudes of spirits that surround us always — ask them if they have a message. 40:43 The biggest way we get in our own way is using logic to override what spirit is already telling us. The antidote: ask "what if?" and take one step. 38:00 University research now shows that 90% of people at the end of life see and communicate with deceased loved ones and pets. Nobody dies alone.

    Lost Her Mother at 8. Buried the Pain. One Word Finally Broke It Open | Pegotty Cooper

    At eight years old, Peggotty Cooper lost her mother and learned to bury her grief. For more than 40 years she carried it silently, until a single word, abandonment, finally broke it open. In this episode of Next Level Healing, Dr. Tara Perry sits down with the co-founder of the Certified Divorce Coach Program and certified family mediator to talk about what happens when you stop burying the pain and start facing it. Peggotty shares how naming what she feared most changed everything, and how that same act of naming is the foundation of 'affect labeling,' the neuroscience-backed method popularized by Doug Noll that deactivates the brain's emotional circuitry and restores rational thinking. She explains how she uses these de-escalation skills to help clients through the high-stakes world of divorce, rebuild relationships with their children, and find their own humanity in moments of crisis. The conversation explores how facing buried emotions like abandonment can lead to a more resilient, mended life.

    For Decades, Doctors Couldn't Help His Wife. What He Discovered Changed Everything | Dr. David Jernigan

    Dr. David Jernigan, doctor, researcher, inventor, and founder of the Biologix Center for Optimum Health, joins Dr. Tara Perry to share how nearly 30 years in treatment-resistant chronic illness led him to invent a therapy that turns the body's own viruses into precision antibiotics — a search that began because no one could help his own wife. This isn't just a Lyme story. It's a story about a decade of bedridden Christmases, cookbook medicine, an epiphany scribbled in the margins of a magazine at 30,000 feet, and what happens when a doctor refuses to accept that his wife is a lost cause. Dr. Jernigan breaks down the circuitry, the testing, and the phage science behind his results — and why the goal was never to kill every pathogen, but to restore the body's range of adaptability. KEY TAKEAWAYS 05:33 A doctor is only as good as he's been taught. Dr. Jernigan estimates 99% of medicine is cookbook doctoring — and no matter how good a hammer is, you can't build a house with only a hammer. 08:27 His definition of optimum health: the point where body, mind, and spirit respond correctly and instantly to any change in the internal or external environment. A husband and wife can test positive for the exact same infections while only one is sick — the difference isn't the bugs, it's range of adaptability. 13:26 The body runs on semi-dedicated circuits. Your kidneys, your two front teeth, and your psoas muscle share one — and when that circuit blows, everything on it drops to roughly 40% power. 17:48 Flown to England to treat a girl who hadn't walked in six and a half months, Dr. Jernigan spent one hour turning her circuits back on. She sat up, stood, and walked across the room. Three days later they were playing lawn darts. 24:36 His wife fell on her face trying to get from the bathroom to her bed and prayed, "Either kill me or show me what to do." She opened her laptop, and within five minutes a stranger in a support group mentioned the Biologix Center. 27:44 The eureka moment came on a plane to a Lyme conference, scribbled into the margins of a Scientific American article on bacteriophages. When he called his wife to tell her, she said: "Well, you do it, and if you don't die, I'll think about it." 32:18 He eliminated infection after infection and her headache stayed. She asked him to test deeper. The culprit was candida auris — and once he built a formula to target that one organism, the headache was gone in 10 minutes. 35:41 What a phage actually is: you are born with up to 100 trillion of them. They're benevolent viruses that only infect microbes, never your own cells — and they kill roughly 40% of the bacteria in your body every single day. 40:55 In a study of 26 chronically infected Lyme patients begun one week before COVID hit, 24 of 26 (92%) showed complete elimination of the targeted infection — and 77% tested negative after only four days of treatment. 50:20 The formulas contain no phages at all. They induce the phages already living in you — which means they can cross the blood-brain barrier and break down mycotoxins where binders never could. 55:41 Every cell in your body is listening to everything you say and think, and takes it as a command to change its chemistry. Your mind doesn't cause the illness, but it does have to be in alignment for the body to work from the inside out.

    He Built a $100M Business by Learning to Get Out of the Way

    Robert Hartline, entrepreneur, EOS implementer, and founder of Music City Work Club, joins Dr. Tara Perry to share how he went from selling cell phones out of the trunk of his car to building a company with over $100 million in sales — and then walked away to live in Costa Rica while it kept running. This isn't just a business story. It's a story about breathwork, manifestation, sobriety, armed robberies, and what happens when an entrepreneur finally stops firefighting long enough to become the fire chief. Robert breaks down the frameworks, mindset shifts, and inner work that made sustainable success possible — and why love, not strategy, is the most important thing any entrepreneur can master. KEY TAKEAWAYS 02:22 Robert went from not thinking of himself as a salesperson to recognizing sales as the most lucrative learnable skill on the planet. 13:11 Reading Traction was the first time Robert understood that entrepreneurship, like selling, is a skill with a recipe — not a personality trait. 15:50 Watching a fire chief stand back and observe while others fought the fire was the moment Robert realized he had been a firefighter, not a leader. 19:56 Do the work you love, with the people you love — Robert calls this the formula for heaven, and its opposite the formula for unnecessary suffering. 28:54 Robert scaled fast by teaching his team one thing: that caring about people is a skill, and it's the only skill that actually drives sales. 34:13 The weekend Robert moved his family to Costa Rica, he was robbed of $80,000. His nervous system activated — and for the next year, he unconsciously manifested break-ins, fraud, and theft until breathwork helped him see what he was creating. 38:00 A life coach asked Robert what he did. He said, "I sell cell phones" — dismissively. Her reframe of his impact changed his energy and 10X'd his results. 39:04 Breathwork became Robert's primary tool for shifting state — fear, guilt, creative blocks, high-stakes meetings — all addressable in under 10 minutes. 49:55 Robert built Music City Work Club first in his mind during a breathwork session — two years before it existed as a building. 52:40 The number one tool for finding your why is a friend willing to ask you a real question: What do you want to do while you're here?
