    He Treated 14,000 Lyme Patients And Found A New Chronic Illness Model | Dr. Richard Horowitz | Ep. 162

    In this powerful episode of A Healthy Point of View, Sam Tejada sits down with Dr. Richard Horowitz, one of the world’s leading Lyme disease experts, to uncover what may be missing in the way chronic illness is diagnosed and treated. After treating more than 14,000 patients, Dr. Horowitz explains why Lyme disease is often misunderstood, how it can mimic conditions like chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia, autoimmune disease, mental health disorders, long COVID, and even cognitive decline, and why getting to the root cause matters more than simply naming symptoms. He also breaks down his 16-point MSIDS model, the role of inflammation, toxins, mold, co-infections, gut health, immune dysfunction, and the powerful connection between chronic Lyme and neuroinflammation. Dr. Horowitz shares why many patients are told “it’s all in your head,” how medical gaslighting affects hope, and what he believes could change the future of chronic illness care. This conversation is a must-watch for anyone dealing with unexplained fatigue, brain fog, pain, anxiety, sleep issues, or chronic symptoms that doctors have not been able to explain. Dr. Horowitz’s new book, Ending Chronic Illness, releases October 13.

    Why America Spends More on Healthcare but Stays Sicker | Dr. Camillo Ricordi | Ep. 160

    What if the biggest problem with America’s healthcare system is not how much we spend—but what we spend it on? In this episode of A Healthy Point of View, Sam Tejada sits down with world-renowned transplant surgeon, diabetes researcher, and regenerative medicine pioneer Dr. Camillo Ricordi for a powerful conversation about transforming healthcare from reactive sick care into a predictive, preventive, and proactive system. Dr. Ricordi shares his journey from studying neuroscience to developing the groundbreaking Ricordi Chamber, advancing pancreatic islet transplantation, and helping shape the future of cellular therapies for Type 1 diabetes. He explains why medical innovation must focus not only on treating advanced disease, but also on identifying hidden risk factors before they progress. Together, Sam and Dr. Ricordi explore the difference between lifespan and healthspan, insulin resistance, chronic inflammation, food quality, preventive testing, regenerative medicine, artificial intelligence, digital health data, affordability, informed consent, and the regulatory barriers slowing promising treatments in the United States. They also discuss why healthy aging requires more than one supplement, treatment, or diet. From nutrition and exercise to predictive diagnostics and personalized interventions, Dr. Ricordi outlines a four-level approach to preventing disease, treating it earlier, supporting those already affected, and reducing the risk of recurrence. This episode is an important reminder that the future of healthcare depends on innovation, transparency, accessibility, and empowering individuals to take a more active role in their health.

    The Childhood Trauma Most Parents Never Realize They’re Passing Down | Bryan Post | Ep. 158

    What if your child’s behavior is not defiance, but a stress response? In this powerful episode of A Healthy Point of View, Sam Tejada sits down with child behavior and trauma expert Bryan Post to explore how early experiences, family patterns, stress, and emotional disconnection can shape a child’s behavior for years. Bryan shares his personal adoption story, explains how trauma can begin before birth, and reveals why punishment, yelling, isolation, and excessive consequences often fail to create lasting change. He also breaks down how stress affects memory, emotional regulation, relationships, and the developing brain. Together, Sam and Bryan discuss childhood trauma, generational parenting patterns, emotional suppression, screen dependency, psychiatric medication, breathwork, mindfulness, nutrition, and the importance of parents regulating themselves before trying to correct their children. This conversation offers a healthier approach to parenting—one rooted in awareness, connection, communication, and love. When stress rises, we always have a choice: repeat the old pattern or pause, breathe, and respond differently.

    The Biohacking Mistake That Could Be Making You Less Healthy | Julia Smila Ep. 157

    What if the biggest breakthrough in your health is not another device, supplement, or data point, but learning how to bring your mind, body, emotions, and spirit back into alignment? In this episode of A Healthy Point of View, Sam Tejada sits down with Julia Smila, certified functional nutrition practitioner and founder of the Ultimate Wellness Conference, for a powerful conversation about conscious longevity, functional medicine, nervous system regulation, biohacking, and the deeper meaning of true wellness. Julia shares how her background in biotechnology, venture capital, natural healing, meditation, and energy practices inspired her to create an experience that brings modern science and ancient wisdom together. She and Sam explore why chronic stress can quietly break down the body, why feeling well requires more than impressive health data, and why the foundations of nutrition, sleep, movement, relationships, spiritual connection, and emotional balance must come before advanced optimization. They also discuss the dangers of becoming obsessed with wearables and biohacking, why expensive technologies cannot replace consistent daily habits, how young people are being affected by modern lifestyles, and why health should be built long before symptoms appear. Julia also gives an inside look at the upcoming Ultimate Wellness Conference, taking place September 24–26 at the Faena Forum in Miami Beach, featuring leading voices in functional medicine, regenerative health, biotechnology, meditation, breathwork, sound healing, and conscious longevity. This episode is a reminder that wellness is not about fearing aging or chasing perfection. It is about living fully, reducing the stressors that interfere with your body’s natural intelligence, and using science as a tool—not as a substitute for presence, purpose, and connection.

    Why Young People Are Getting Seriously Sick Earlier Than Ever | Corey Jacobs & Yello Pain | Ep. 156

    What happens when you finally decide that your health will count? In this powerful episode of A Healthy Point of View, Sam Tejada is joined by artist, activist, and storyteller Yello Pain, alongside Liquivida partner and Winnergy founder Corey Jacobs, for an honest conversation about health awareness, personal responsibility, community impact, and creating change before life forces you to. Yello Pain shares how losing weight and improving his fitness made him feel healthier than ever, until comprehensive testing revealed low vitamin D, abnormal cholesterol levels, and, more recently, prediabetes. His experience became a wake-up call: looking healthy does not always mean everything is healthy beneath the surface. Together, Sam, Yello, and Corey explore why young people must begin prioritizing prevention, how food deserts and unhealthy cultural norms shape daily choices, and why relatable voices are essential for making health education accessible. They also discuss Yello’s upcoming book, My Health Will Count, Corey’s 16 Principles of Winnergy, and their shared mission to turn complex health information into a movement that reaches communities often left out of the longevity conversation. This episode is a reminder that you cannot improve what you do not measure, and you should look under the hood before life forces you to.
