    #109: Seed Oils, Saturated Fat, and the Biggest Nutrition Lie We’ve Been Told With Brian Sanders

    Big Food, Bad Science, and the Metabolic Health Crisis No One Wants to Talk About What if the biggest threats to our health aren’t a lack of discipline or motivation—but decades of flawed science, industry influence, and nutrition dogma? In this eye-opening episode of Beyond The Pills, Josh Rimany sits down with Brian Sanders, health researcher, filmmaker, and founder of Sapien.org, for a bold conversation that challenges everything we’ve been told about food, fat, and human health. Brian is best known as the creator of the documentary Food Lies, where he investigates the origins of modern nutrition guidelines and exposes how weak science, corporate interests, and misinformation helped shape what we eat—and why chronic disease, obesity, and metabolic dysfunction are now widespread. His work pulls back the curtain on how seed oils, processed foods, and misguided dietary advice became normalized despite mounting evidence of harm. Through Sapien.org, Brian explores ancestral nutrition, metabolic health, circadian biology, and lifestyle design—helping people reconnect with the evolutionary principles that allowed humans to thrive for thousands of years. In this conversation, he and Josh examine how far modern life has drifted from our biological design, and why returning to real food and foundational lifestyle practices may be the key to restoring health. Together, they explore: The real science behind seed oils, saturated fat, and cholesterolHow nutrition research can be biased, misinterpreted, or driven by industryWhy metabolic disease continues to rise despite decades of “healthy” guidelinesThe disconnect between ancestral diets and modern food systemsHow aligning with our evolutionary biology can support long-term health This episode goes beyond trends, prescriptions, and quick fixes to address the root causes of chronic illness. If you’ve ever felt confused by conflicting nutrition advice or questioned mainstream health narratives, this conversation will give you the clarity and courage to think differently. This is not medical advice. It’s an invitation to question what you’ve been taught, reclaim personal responsibility, and pursue health beyond the pills.

    #108: Why Pills and Protocols Keep Failing And What Actually Creates Real Health With Kyle Emanuel Brown

    Beyond The Pills with Kyle Brown: Redefining Health, Leadership, and Personal ResponsibilityWhat happens when we stop searching for quick fixes and start taking responsibility for our health, our leadership, and our lives? In this powerful episode of Beyond The Pills, we sit down with Kyle Brown for an honest, grounded conversation about what it truly means to heal, lead, and live with intention in a world obsessed with surface-level solutions. Kyle challenges the cultural fixation on pills, protocols, and external answers, and instead invites listeners into a deeper exploration of personal responsibility, self-awareness, and sustainable transformation. Throughout the episode, Kyle emphasizes that real change doesn’t come from doing more, it comes from becoming more. “You can’t outsource responsibility for your health and expect long-term results. At some point, ownership has to come back to you.”Together, we unpack how modern healthcare often treats symptoms while ignoring root causes and how that same pattern shows up in leadership, business, and life. Kyle shares why slowing down, listening to the body, and developing discernment are essential skills for anyone seeking longevity, clarity, and alignment. “Most people are trying to optimize systems they don’t actually understand—starting with their own body.”This conversation goes beyond physical health into the inner work required for lasting growth. Kyle speaks candidly about identity, discipline, and the importance of building awareness before chasing performance. “If you don’t understand yourself, no protocol in the world is going to save you.” Listeners will walk away with a renewed perspective on what it means to lead from the inside out—recognizing that healing, leadership, and purpose are deeply interconnected. Whether you’re a healthcare professional, leader, entrepreneur, or someone who knows there’s more to wellness than prescriptions and productivity hacks, this episode will challenge you to think differently and more deeply. This episode is for you if you’re ready to: Move beyond symptom-based solutionsReclaim ownership of your health and leadershipUnderstand the connection between awareness, discipline, and transformationLead with clarity instead of controlBuild a life rooted in responsibility, not dependency Because true healing and true leadership has always been beyond the pills.

    #106: How Vitamin D Transforms Mood, Immunity & Energy

    Do you ever feel your mood dip as the days grow shorter? You’re not alone — millions experience Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) each year, often without realizing what’s behind it. In this episode of Beyond the Pills, we shed light on one of the most overlooked causes of seasonal mood changes — Vitamin D deficiency. I’m joined by our Chief Marketing Officer, Tara LaFon Gooch, who shares how a simple shift in her wellness routine helped her find joy and energy again during the darker months. Like many of us, Tara noticed that every fall her energy dropped, motivation faded, and anxiety crept in. When we ran her labs, the root cause became clear — her Vitamin D levels were critically low. Within weeks of supplementing consistently, she began to feel like herself again: “It was like the clouds lifted. My smile came back and it wasn’t forced anymore.” Vitamin D isn’t just a vitamin; it’s a hormone that regulates mood, sleep, and immune balance. Low levels can lead to depression, fatigue, and the winter blues — yet it’s one of the simplest things to restore. In this episode, we break down: The link between Vitamin D, serotonin, and seasonal mood shiftsHow to safely raise your levels (the D3 + K2 combo matters!)Simple daily habits to support sunlight, sleep, and emotional balance You’ll learn why mood issues often have metabolic roots and how aligning your biology can reignite your vitality. This is why Vitamin D3 will be featured in our new Wellness Made Simple Starter Kits. Each kit includes foundational supplements, at-home labs, and the Clean 14 reset to help you reduce inflammation, balance hormones, and reclaim your energy — even when the days grow dark. Because you don’t have to wait for spring to feel light again.

    #103: Feeling Anxious? Here’s Why Magnesium Might Be the Missing Piece

    What if true healing didn’t come from another prescription… but from restoring what your body’s been missing all along? In this episode of Beyond the Pills, I share a powerful real-life story from our very own Chief Marketing Officer, Tara LaFon Gooch — a story that reminds us healing doesn’t have to be complicated to be life-changing. A few weeks ago, Tara reached out and asked for my advice about anxiety. We talked about natural ways to support her nervous system and I suggested something simple: Magnesium Glycinate. Just a few short weeks later, Tara turned to her husband and said: “I want to go on a vacation… so I can actually enjoy it.”That single sentence said it all. Because sometimes the real victory isn’t found in doing more, it’s found in finally feeling peace. Magnesium glycinate is one of the most powerful yet overlooked tools for mental and physical balance. It calms the nervous system, supports better sleep, reduces anxiety, and helps your body adapt to stress — naturally. “You don’t have to wait to feel better. Small changes create big transformations.” It’s stories like Tara’s that inspire the mission behind our work — bridging science, simplicity, and soul. This is exactly why Magnesium Glycinate will be included in my soon-to-be-released Wellness Made Simple Starter Kits. Each kit is designed to help you restore balance from the inside out with foundational supplements, gut support, easy lab testing, and a guided 14-day reset program that helps you take back your wellness one simple step at a time.

    #102: With Love, Not Force: Rewriting Success from the Inside Out

    What if everything you’ve been chasing—success, performance, validation—was never the point? In this week’s episode of Beyond the Pills, we sit down with PJ Whitner, better known as PJ With Love—a creator, entrepreneur, and modern mystic redefining what it means to live fully awake. Once a nationally ranked tennis player and founder of a multimillion-dollar wellness brand, PJ mastered the outer game of achievement. But behind the wins, his nervous system was unraveling. Burnout didn’t destroy him—it initiated him. What followed was a profound shift from doing more to being more, from the pursuit of performance to the practice of presence. “Burnout isn’t failure—it’s the body’s invitation to remember who you really are.” – PJ With LoveIn this conversation, PJ opens up about his collapse and awakening, sharing how that breaking point revealed the deeper intelligence of the heart. Through fasting, breathwork, and meditation, he began rebuilding his life from the inside out—learning to lead, create, and love from coherence rather than chaos. We explore: The myth of high performance—why chasing optimization can separate you from your essence.The power of coherence—how aligning your mind, body, and spirit creates effortless flow.Nervous-system mastery—why calm isn’t withdrawal; it’s control, clarity, and creative power.Love as a strategy—what happens when devotion replaces discipline and presence becomes your edge. PJ’s wisdom bridges science and spirituality, grounding ancient practices in modern reality. Whether you’re a CEO, creator, or someone seeking peace in the noise, his message lands with calm conviction: performance without presence is just pressure. “You can’t think your way into peace—you have to feel your way there.” – PJ With Love Throughout this episode, PJ and host Josh Rimany, Pharmacist-turned-healer and founder of the Beyond the Pills movement, explore how true wellness isn’t another supplement or protocol—it’s the restoration of wholeness. They talk about nervous-system regulation as a form of leadership, and how slowing down can actually accelerate impact. PJ’s journey reminds us that every breakdown carries a sacred blueprint for breakthrough. His story isn’t about rejecting ambition—it’s about redeeming it through awareness. When you operate from love rather than fear, you don’t lose your edge—you refine it. “Presence is the new performance. The calmer you are, the clearer you see, the faster you grow.” – PJ With Love Stay tuned until the end as PJ introduces With Love, his upcoming movement dedicated to coherence and creative awakening. You’ll also hear about: The Return — a 7-day inner-practice immersion.Wingsday — his weekly YouTube ritual of presence and integration.Full-Moon Fasting Ascension — a monthly reset to restore body and spirit. If you’ve ever felt stuck in overdrive or disconnected from your own inner compass, this episode is your permission slip to pause—to breathe—to come home.
