Known for blending edgy style with timeless refinement, Berlin has served a diverse, high-end clientele that includes celebrities, executives, politicians, and media personalities. *Connect with the Guest* Website: https://www.outlawbarberandbeauty.com/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/berlin-fisher-96ab39111 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/berlinsf/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/badboyofbeauty/ *Chapters* 00:00 Introduction 02:22 Meet Berlin Fisher 04:43 From Beauty Expert to Television 07:46 Work Ethic Behind Success 09:32 Building a Life by Saying Yes 10:53 Berlin’s Sobriety Journey 15:30 Identity, Openness, and Representation 17:07 The Heart Attack Wake-Up Call 22:42 Grief, Recovery, and Resilience 24:29 Letting Go of Blame and Worry 26:14 Advice for Making a Difficult Change 30:05 How Sobriety Changed His Friendships 33:11 What Live Television Really Takes 37:10 Moving Beyond Ego and Failure 44:00 Why Authenticity Works on Camera 49:26 Helping Others Rise 55:12 Favorite California Live Memories 01:01:40 Beauty, Confidence, and Facial Tattoos 01:05:54 The Problem With Viral Beauty Advice 01:07:32 What Berlin Would Tell His Younger Self 01:08:25 Rapid-Fire Questions 01:09:35 Self-Care and Meaningful Work 01:17:01 Living a Life You Love 01:17:36 Why Berlin Chose Christina 01:24:07 Final Reflections *About the Host: Christina Flach* Christina Flach is the host of I’m Too Busy!, where she leads inspiring conversations about personal growth, beauty, wellness, balance, creativity, and navigating a busy life. *Connect with Christina:* Instagram: @christinaflachmakeup Website: http://www.christinaflach.com *About I’m Too Busy!* I’m Too Busy! features inspiring interviews with entrepreneurs, beauty and wellness experts, and changemakers who share meaningful lessons about balance, personal growth, success, and living well in a busy world. *Podcast Links* Podcast website: http://www.imtoobusytv.com YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@imtoobusypodcast *Watch More Episodes* https://youtu.be/Z1At4hQblK4 https://youtu.be/mKNCw9GgLzs https://youtu.be/A1yGZQCT3vE https://youtu.be/3ciX0S2ZIPM https://youtu.be/OLqU1HJHgOc https://youtu.be/7UJT6hhJWxE Explore more conversations from I’m Too Busy!: https://www.youtube.com/@imtoobusypodcast *Subscribe* Subscribe to I’m Too Busy! for honest conversations about personal growth, wellness, creativity, beauty, and building a meaningful life: https://www.youtube.com/@imtoobusypodcast *Disclaimer* This episode shares personal experiences and opinions for informational and inspirational purposes only.

    Gut Health Myths: Why Probiotics and Cleanses Can Backfire

    Are probiotics, parasite cleanses, and popular wellness routines actually supporting your gut health, or could some approaches be making you feel worse? In this episode of I’m Too Busy!, Christina Flach sits down with Ryan Carter to explore common gut health myths and why digestive wellness involves more than taking a supplement or following the latest cleanse. Ryan shares his personal journey through disordered eating, exercise addiction, digestive challenges, mold exposure, and repeated wellness “dead ends.” The conversation examines probiotics, cleansing protocols, the gut-brain connection, circadian rhythm, sleep, stress, metabolism, ancestral nutrition, and the importance of viewing the body as an interconnected system. *WHAT YOU’LL LEARN* • Why a generic probiotic may not address an individual’s needs • How prolonged cleanses and aggressive antimicrobial routines may backfire • Why sleep, stress, sunlight, and circadian rhythm may influence digestion • How the brain, hormones, metabolism, and digestive system interact • Why Ryan prefers a gradual, food-first approach over drastic interventions • How ancestral nutrition and nose-to-tail eating fit into his health philosophy *CHAPTERS* 00:00 Introduction 01:48 Ryan’s Personal Health Journey 03:30 Gut Health and Whole-Body Wellness 08:39 Probiotics and Common Misconceptions 12:40 Ryan’s Approach to Gut Healing 18:35 Grounding, Sunlight and Circadian Rhythm 22:31 From Disordered Eating to Nutritional Therapy 34:28 Health Lessons From High Performers 38:31 Ancestral Nutrition and Nose-to-Tail Eating 41:27 The Gut-Brain and Emotional Connection 44:19 Rapid-Fire Wellness Questions 53:23 Ryan’s Surprising Past 54:26 Supplements, Sunlight and Magnesium 56:01 Christina’s Sleep and Wellness Routine 1:00:48 Final Takeaways 1:01:21 Athletes, Tennis and Modern Performance *ABOUT THE GUEST* Ryan Carter is a UK-registered Nutritional Therapist, personal trainer, certified health coach, and founder of the health optimization platform Live Vitae.
