Welcome to the Health Interrupted Podcast.
Life is full of interruptions. Sometimes a health issue can stop you in your tracks.
The road to optimal health is a bumpy one – complete with children, partners, work, life. Even if you have the best intentions to take back your health, something inevitably gets in the way. You’ve decided, this is it! You’re getting your health plan back on track. You meal prepped, you downloaded your meditation app and you set your alarm an hour earlier to workout.

The reality of it is, there’s no food in the fridge, you overslept and there’s no time to workout. Sound familiar?

Every week, join Celebrity Fitness Trainer Gina Lombardi and Former Miss America Laura Kaeppeler, as they talk to real people who achieved wellness despite health setbacks big and small as well as experts who reveal their secrets to optimal health. If you’re struggling to get your health back on track or already have a solid health plan but are looking for tips and biohacks, this podcast is for you.

We get down to the grit of the matter and share usable information in all areas of wellness - nutrition, fitness, workouts, mental and spiritual health and of course, products we love that add value to your life!

    Episode 88: Ezra Frech: Teen Paralympic Athlete "Being Different is OK"

    Ezra Frech breaks down the disconnect between people about disabilities. Ezra Frech was born without most of his left leg (missing a knee & fibula) and missing fingers on his left hand. When he was two years old, Frech had surgery to remove his lower left leg & transplanted a toe from his amputated foot onto his left hand at @bostonchildrens. He received a prosthetic leg when he was eleven months old.  Today, Ezra is 17 & is already a US Paralympian who competes in the high jump, long jump & 100m. He is a double silver Parapan American Games medalist in 2019, a 2x US Champion & a 5th place finisher at the Tokyo Paralympics in 2021.  He is also a motivational speaker and disability rights advocate. He co-founded a nonprofit, Angel City Sports,  that provides sports equipment, training, and competition opportunities for people with physical disabilities.
