    How to Keep Moving Forward Through Hard Times w/ Ashleigh & Kara

    In this episode, I’m sitting down with my friends Ashley and Kara for an honest, lighthearted, and powerful conversation about healing, resilience, and what it actually looks like to move through hard seasons of life. We laughed, we got vulnerable, and we talked through the real-life tools that have supported us through mental health challenges, business pressures, and everything in between. I left this conversation feeling so grateful for their openness—and I think you will too. Here are a few key takeaways from our conversation: The power of being a problem solver: One thing that really stood out is the mindset of “we’ll figure it out.” Whether it’s in business, motherhood, or personal struggles, approaching challenges with curiosity instead of panic can completely shift the outcome. There’s something powerful about not getting stuck, and instead choosing to move forward one step at a time. Healing is not one-dimensional: We talked a lot about how healing rarely comes from just one thing. It’s often a combination of supports—nutrition, movement, therapy, rest, community, and more. When we think of health as “multiple hoses on a fire,” it removes the pressure of needing one perfect solution and instead opens the door to a more holistic approach. You are not alone: Both Ashley and Kara shared parts of their mental health journeys, including seasons of depression and the long process of finding what truly helps. One of the most important reminders from this conversation is that your struggle does not define you—and there is hope, support, and help available even when it feels far away. I’m so grateful for this conversation and the reminder that healing looks different for everyone, but no one has to walk it alone. I hope this episode meets you where you are and gives you encouragement for your own journey.

    Are Seed Oils Really As Bad As They Say? w/ Liana Werner-Gray

    In this episode, I sit down with four-time bestselling author and natural health advocate Liana Warner-Gray to hear her powerful story of healing and transformation. Liana shares how being diagnosed with early-stage cancer at just 21 became a turning point that changed everything. Raised in the Australian outback on real, whole foods, she eventually drifted into years of binge eating and processed foods—until a serious health crisis brought her back to the foundations she grew up with. She walks us through the holistic steps she took to heal, including working with a naturopath, detoxing her body, and focusing on whole, nutrient-dense foods. One of the most impactful tools she shares is “Replacement Therapy,” where she recreated healthier versions of her favorite junk foods, helping her break cravings and support her healing journey. We also dive into her upcoming book The Truth About Seed Oils and talk about how industrial seed oils may contribute to inflammation, gut issues, hormonal imbalance, and chronic disease. Liana breaks down how to spot them on labels and why the type of fats we eat truly matters. Her story is a powerful reminder that healing is possible when we get back to real food and start paying attention to what’s in our everyday diet. Bio: Liana Werner-Gray is a certified nutritionist, natural food chef, and four-time best-selling author of The Earth Diet, Cancer-Free with Food, 10-Minute Recipes, and Anxiety-Free with Food.

  3. Chronic Symptoms That Don't Add Up? Start Here w/ Juanique Roney

    Chronic Symptoms That Don't Add Up? Start Here w/ Juanique Roney

    I’m so excited to share this conversation with you—this episode features Juanique, founder of Provo Health. We take a closer look at Chronic Inflammatory Response Syndrome (CIRS) and what so many people are still missing when it comes to chronic illness, unexplained symptoms, and underlying immune system dysfunction. Here are a few key takeaways from our conversation: 1. What CIRS actually is (and what triggers it) Juanique shares her personal story with CIRS and explains how it’s not just “mold illness.” It’s an immune system dysregulation that can be triggered by multiple stressors—viruses like COVID, environmental toxins like mold, and more. If you’re dealing with symptoms like chronic fatigue, brain fog, anxiety, or just feeling “off,” this conversation will help you better understand what might be happening underneath the surface. 2. Why proper testing matters so much One of the biggest issues with CIRS is that it’s often missed. Standard labs don’t typically look at the inflammatory markers needed for diagnosis, which means many people are left without answers. 3. Turning off the “faucets” Once you identify CIRS, the next step is finding what’s driving the inflammation—whether that’s mold exposure, chronic stress, or hidden infections. But healing doesn’t stop there. We also talk about the importance of actually repairing the body and calming the immune system through a more comprehensive approach. This episode is such an important one for anyone navigating chronic health challenges or trying to make sense of persistent symptoms that haven’t been explained elsewhere.

    In this week’s episode, I’m sitting down with Becky to talk about her incredible journey through cancer, mold exposure, infertility, and adoption. Becky was diagnosed with lymphoma at just 26 years old, and she shares how that experience completely changed the way she approached her health, healing, and life moving forward. We talk about the connection between diet and chronic illness, how discovering celiac disease helped her better understand her body, and why nutrition became such a huge part of her healing journey. Becky also opens up about navigating the healthcare system, advocating for herself after misdiagnoses, and learning to trust her intuition when something didn’t feel right. Another powerful part of this conversation is Becky’s experience with hidden mold exposure and how environmental toxins were impacting her health in ways she didn’t even realize. She shares what she learned through that process and why awareness around mold and toxins matters so much. We also dive into her beautiful journey to motherhood after infertility caused by cancer treatments. Becky shares the emotional story of adopting her daughter, Violet, and how that experience brought so much purpose and joy into her life. This episode is full of hope, resilience, and encouragement for anyone walking through health challenges or searching for answers. Becky’s story is a reminder that even in the hardest seasons, healing and purpose are possible.

  5. The Science Behind Our New Sports Nutrition Line w/ Dr. Ben Bikman

    The Science Behind Our New Sports Nutrition Line w/ Dr. Ben Bikman

    In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Ben Bikman to discuss the science behind our new sports line, focusing on ketones, creatine, and endurance nutrition. We break down how these ingredients support energy production, brain function, and athletic performance—grounded in real science, not hype. 1. Ketones as an alternative fuel source Ketones are naturally produced when the body burns fat for energy. Dr. Bikman explains how they can serve as a powerful alternative fuel for the brain, especially in situations where glucose metabolism is less efficient. Exogenous ketones may help support mental clarity and steady energy without requiring a strict ketogenic diet. 2. Creatine supports both brain and body energy Creatine plays a key role in recycling ATP, the body’s primary energy currency. While commonly associated with muscle performance, it also supports cognitive function. The combination of creatine and ketones is designed to support both physical output and mental performance. 3. Dual-fuel strategy for endurance performance Our new Endurance drink combines glucose and ketones to help sustain energy during prolonged activity. This approach may help spare glycogen stores while supporting consistent performance. Additional ingredients like S7 (for nitric oxide support) and PeakO2 (for mitochondrial efficiency) are included to further support endurance and recovery. Tune in now to learn more—this episode is perfect for anyone looking to improve their health and elevate their performance. Bio: Benjamin Bikman earned his Ph.D. in Bioenergetics and was a postdoctoral fellow with the Duke-National University of Singapore in metabolic disorders. Currently, his professional focus as a scientist and professor (Brigham Young University) is to better understand the role of elevated insulin and nutrient metabolism in regulating obesity, diabetes, and dementia. In addition to his academic pursuits, Dr. Bikman is the author of "Why We Get Sick” and "How Not to Get Sick" as well as the upcoming book “The Carb Crisis”.  Exciting news!

    From McNuggets to Mystery Ingredients: What's Really in Your Food w/ Itay Shechter

    In this episode, I’m sitting down with Itay—and we’re talking about what’s actually in the foods we’re eating every day. If you’ve ever picked up a product thinking it was a “better-for-you” option, this conversation might change the way you look at your pantry—in the best way. This isn’t about fear or perfection, it’s about becoming more aware and making more intentional choices. Here’s what we talk about: Ultra-processed foods aren’t always obvious So many foods that are marketed as “healthy” are still highly processed. Itay breaks down ingredients and helps us understand what’s really in these products—and why it matters. We talk about why I always encourage focusing on whole, real foods as much as possible. The truth about “natural flavors” Just because something says “natural flavors” doesn’t mean it’s simple or clean. Itay explains how vague that term can be and why it’s something to pay attention to when you’re reading labels. Learning to read labels without overwhelm It’s not about doing everything perfectly. It’s about starting somewhere. Itay shares how learning about ingredients completely changed his health journey, and I really think it will inspire you to start looking at labels a little differently too. My biggest takeaway: You don’t have to change everything overnight. Just start paying attention. Start asking questions. That’s where real change begins. I can’t wait for you to listen to this episode. It’s such a good one and I know you’ll walk away feeling more confident the next time you’re at the grocery store. If you loved this episode, it would mean so much if you shared it with a friend or left a review. It helps us keep bringing you these conversations each week.

    The Real Reason Gut Disease Keeps Getting Worse w/ Dane Johnson

    I’m excited to share our latest podcast episode featuring Dane Johnson, an expert in inflammatory bowel diseases like Crohn’s and ulcerative colitis. This conversation is filled with hope, practical tools, and insight for anyone dealing with chronic illness or wanting to better support their gut health. Here are a few of my biggest takeaways: 1. You can take ownership of your healing journeyDane shares his personal story of going from being housebound and severely ill to rebuilding his health and life. A major turning point for him was stepping into the mindset of becoming the “CEO of his health.”  2. Food philosophy plays a big role in gut healingWe talk about how important it is to think intentionally about food choices. Dane encourages a “food philosophy” approach—looking at the potential impact of every food and how it’s prepared. For those with IBD, this can mean starting with softer, easier-to-digest foods and being mindful with things like raw foods and alcohol, which can be harder on an already inflamed gut. 3. Managing stress is foundational for healingStress has a profound effect on gut health and overall inflammation. Dane talks about building your “shield” against stress by identifying triggers and taking real, practical steps to support your nervous system. This isn’t just about mindset—it’s about action: creating boundaries, making adjustments where needed, and intentionally adding in things that bring calm, joy, and regulation. I really loved this conversation and the hope it brings for anyone navigating chronic illness. There is so much more potential for healing when we start addressing the root pieces. Listen now and let us know your thoughts—we love hearing how these episodes resonate with you.

    What Do Peptides Do—Besides Help with Weight Loss? w/ Dr. Stuart Porter

    In this episode, I’m excited to bring you my conversation with Dr. Porter, an expert in peptides and Chronic Inflammatory Response Syndrome (CIRS). This is an eye-opening discussion, especially if you’ve been dealing with things like fatigue, brain fog, or just not feeling like yourself and haven’t been able to find clear answers. We talk about CIRS and how it comes back to chronic inflammation in the body. Dr. Porter explains how so many common symptoms we experience are actually connected to this ongoing inflammatory response and how our immune system, gut health, and overall wellness are all deeply linked. We also dive into peptides—what they are and how they work as signaling molecules in the body. I loved how he broke this down in a simple way. Peptides basically help cells communicate and regulate different functions in the body.  And something I really appreciated from this conversation is Dr. Porter’s reminder that foundations matter most. Before anything else, we have to focus on the basics—eating an anti-inflammatory diet, managing stress, and prioritizing good sleep. Peptides can be supportive, but they’re not a replacement for those core lifestyle pieces. I think you’re really going to love this episode. It’s practical, empowering, and gives a new way to look at chronic health challenges. Let me know what you think after you listen. Bio: Stuart B. Porter, D.O. is a distinguished leader in functional medicine and regenerative therapies. He is board certified in Family Medicine and a Fellow of the American Academy of Family Physicians. A graduate of Brigham Young University (B.S., Design Engineering, 1984) and Kirksville College of Osteopathic Medicine (D.O., 1988, graduating first in his class), Dr. Porter went on to complete his Family Medicine Residency at Madigan Army Medical Center in 1993. From 2003 to 2021, he served as Regional Dean for A.T. Still University’s Kirksville College of Osteopathic Medicine in the Utah Region, mentoring hundreds of medical students over decades of academic leadership. He is certified in peptide therapy through the Seeds Scientific Research & Performance (SSRP) Institute and has become a trusted voice in integrating advanced peptide science with functional and regenerative medicine. Dr. Porter is the founder of Integrative Medical Associates in Provo, Utah, and co-founder of Xage Medical Spa, a regenerative aesthetics practice.

His passions include backcountry skiing, mountain biking, boating with family and friends, and embracing the outdoors as part of a lifelong commitment to fitness and vitality. He loves serving in his religious community and spending time with his wife of 43 fabulous years, his 5 children and 9 (2 of those are on their way!) grandchildren.
