    41. What Your Skin Is Trying to Tell You

    In this episode, Lisa Garrett sits down with her longtime friend Lora Bush, the founder of Serena’s Soaps and Salves, for a conversation that goes far beyond skincare. What begins as a discussion about handmade goat milk soap opens into something much deeper: the connection between skin health, inflammation, ingredients, and the body’s internal balance. Lora shares how her daughter Serena’s complex skin challenges pushed her to question conventional advice and search for a more holistic path. Together, Lisa and Lora unpack why skin issues are rarely just surface-level problems. They talk about the gut-skin connection, the limits of quick-fix treatments, and the difference between truly nourishing products and the heavily processed options most people use every day. Lora also explains why goat milk, herbs, and simple ingredients can support the skin in a way commercial products often do not. At the heart of the episode is Serena’s story. Lora shares how building this business became a way to support her daughter, highlight her capabilities, and create something rooted in family, purpose, and real-life care. It is a conversation about advocacy, motherhood, resilience, and choosing a slower, more intentional way to care for ourselves. In this episode, you’ll learn: Why many skin conditions begin with inflammation inside the body How Serena’s health journey led Lora to a holistic approach What makes handmade goat milk soap different from commercial products How ingredient quality affects skin health and overall wellness How Serena’s Soaps and Salves became a business built on purpose and capability KEY MOMENTS 00:00 – Lisa introduces Lora Bush and the mission behind Serena’s Soaps and Salves 02:39 – Lora shares how Serena’s skin struggles led her to start researching natural solutions 07:02 – The conversation dives into HS, elimination diets, and the gut-skin connection 17:36 – Lora explains why goat milk is so nourishing and how handmade soap protects the skin differently 41:56 – Lora reflects on Serena’s role in the business and what capability really means FREE GUT ANALYSIS CALL 🎁 Schedule your free gut analysis call with me!

    40. Doing all the “healthy” things but still feeling exhausted and heavy? Listen to this.

    What if the disease is not random? What if it is dis-ease — a body that has lost its balance under stress, toxic load, poor sleep, and chronic inflammation? In this episode, Lisa breaks down the two most overlooked drivers of chronic disease: stress and detox. From environmental toxins and plastics to unprocessed trauma, poor sleep, and high-intensity overtraining, she connects the dots between daily habits and long-term illness. If you are doing all the “healthy” things but still not feeling well, this episode will challenge you to look deeper. Disease does not show up overnight. It builds quietly over years. And the good news is, you can. In this episode, you’ll learn: Disease is often years in the making, not sudden. Chronic stress raises cortisol and disrupts healing. Detox happens in two phases and depends heavily on sleep. Poor gut health blocks proper toxin elimination. Ultra-processed foods and plastics increase toxic load. Sleep is the most underrated weapon against disease. KEY MOMENTS 03:07 – Disease Is Dis-Ease Lisa reframes disease as a loss of ease in the body. 09:34 – The Hidden Toxic Load How plastics, cookware, fragrances, and food packaging add up. 16:48 – Stress Is Not the Problem, How You Handle It Is The cortisol response and why you must come down from it. 30:20 – Phase One and Phase Two Detox Explained A simple trash analogy for liver detox. 33:29 – Sleep Is Your Second Job Why deep sleep is essential for fighting disease.

    39. The Anti-Fat Movement, Adrenal Fatigue and Increasing Heart Health for Longer Life Expectancy

    Heart health is not just about cholesterol numbers and avoiding fat. In this episode, Lisa breaks down what she learned after performing hundreds of heart sound recordings and seeing firsthand how nutrition, stress, mineral deficiencies, and protein intake directly impact how the heart beats. From the teenage vegan athlete whose heart graph showed almost no peaks, to the executive whose dangerously low heart rate signaled deeper adrenal fatigue, this episode connects the dots between amino acids, B vitamins, minerals, stress, and real heart performance. If you have been told to avoid eggs, butter, and red meat for heart health, this conversation will challenge everything you thought you knew In this episode, you’ll learn: The heart is a muscle and requires complete amino acids to function properly. B vitamins drive electrical conduction and heartbeat strength. Mineral deficiencies can show up as fast or slow heart rhythms. Chronic stress directly impacts heart function through the adrenals. Fat free diets contributed to metabolic dysfunction, not heart protection. Real food supports heart health better than processed alternatives. KEY MOMENTS 02:23 – Why Your Heart Deserves Daily Attention Lisa explains why the heart is the first organ to appear and the last to shut down. 12:59 – The 16 Year Old Athlete’s Heart Graph Shock A vegan teenage soccer player’s heart graph shows almost no strength peaks. 16:57 – One Week of Eggs Changes Everything Her heart graph dramatically improves after adding egg whites. 28:55 – The CEO With a 34 Beat Heart Rate A dangerously low heart rate reveals severe adrenal fatigue. 38:26 – The Fat Free Myth and the Rise of Disease How the anti fat movement contributed to metabolic dysfunction.

    38. Your Dog Isn’t the Problem, You Are. Becoming the Leader Your Dog Needs with Larry Krohn

    If your dog pulls, lunges, ignores commands, or feels out of control, this episode may change the way you see everything. Lisa sits down with internationally respected dog trainer Larry Krohn to talk about the real reason dogs struggle. It is not stubbornness. It is not dominance. And it is not bad luck. It is confusion. From leash reactivity and overuse of food rewards to breed mismatches and overhumanizing dogs, Larry breaks down what most owners get wrong and how to turn chaos into calm through clarity, play, and leadership. This conversation is not about controlling your dog. It is about becoming the kind of person your dog can trust. In this episode, you’ll learn: Dogs need clarity, not structure for the sake of structure. Too much freedom too soon creates lifelong behavioral issues. Overusing food rewards weakens motivation. Play builds trust faster than constant obedience drills. Walking on tight leashes often creates the very reactivity owners hate. Gut health and overvaccination can impact behavior more than people realize KEY MOMENTS 04:22 – “We Completely Screwed It Up” Larry shares how he ruined his first dog and how that mistake shaped his career. 13:16 – The Two Biggest Mistakes Dog Owners Make Wrong breed and too much freedom too soon. 21:43 – Why Redirecting Reactivity Often Fails Larry explains the misunderstanding around punishment and reinforcement. 29:43 – How Leash Tension Creates Aggression The everyday walking mistake that teaches dogs to react harder. 47:47 – Play Is More Powerful Than Obedience Why building joy and trust changes behavior faster than constant commands.

    37. The Root Cause of Asthma, Eczema, and Inflammation ft. Sam Garrett

    Sam Garrett grew up in and out of emergency rooms with asthma and severe eczema. From ICU visits to hospital stays at National Jewish, his childhood revolved around medications, steroids, and trying to control symptoms that never fully went away. But what ultimately changed everything wasn’t another prescription. In this episode, Lisa sits down with her oldest son to unpack the turning points: the $100 elimination experiment, the moment milk triggered immediate wheezing, the law school years of dialing in nutrition for mental performance, and the surprising connection between food, inflammation, lung function, and focus. If you’ve ever wondered whether what you eat really affects your asthma, skin, sleep, or energy, this conversation is real-life proof that it does. In this episode, you’ll learn: Food directly impacts asthma, eczema, and inflammation. The itch-scratch cycle can be interrupted, but root cause matters. Elimination diets reveal more than you expect. Mental clarity and professional performance are deeply tied to nutrition. Sleep, stress, and food all compound, for better or worse. Listening to your body is a skill that must be learned. KEY MOMENTS 00:03:54 – The ER ScareSam recalls the kindergarten hospital visit when doctors said he was “lucky he’s alive.” 00:11:16 – The $100 Elimination Experiment. At age 12, three weeks without dairy and gluten dramatically changed his skin, sleep, and breathing. 00:13:42 – Milk Triggered Immediate Wheezing. Reintroducing dairy caused instant asthma symptoms. 00:31:58 – The Pasta Test as an Adult: One meal brought back eczema, congestion, and nighttime asthma. 00:48:44 – Best Lung Function of His Life FREE GUT ANALYSIS CALL 🎁 Schedule your free gut analysis call with me!

    36. Linda’s 10-Year Journey Back From Breast Cancer

    Linda Vetick was diagnosed with stage three bilateral breast cancer at 45 years old. What followed wasn’t just treatment — it was a decade-long battle with pain, exhaustion, lymphedema, hormone disruption, weight gain, and the physical aftermath of aggressive cancer care. In this episode, Linda shares what life really looks like after survival. From chemotherapy and radiation to working 12–15 hour days as a business owner and hairdresser, she opens up about the invisible toll cancer leaves behind — and how she finally reclaimed her body, clarity, and quality of life. This is a powerful conversation about resilience, long-term healing, and what’s possible when you refuse to accept “this is just how it’s going to be.” In this episode, you’ll learn: Cancer doesn’t end when treatment ends — healing can take years Chronic pain and inflammation are not “normal” after survival Food, sleep, and stress management play a massive role in recovery You don’t need extreme exercise to feel better — consistency matters It’s never too late to reclaim your health, energy, and clarity KEY MOMENTS 00:01:24 – Linda shares her bilateral stage three breast cancer diagnosis at age 45 04:59 – Reaching the 5-year, 10-year, and now 15-year survival milestones 08:59 – What chemotherapy and radiation really felt like and how long the effects lasted 19:57 – Realizing it took nearly 10 years to feel like herself again after cancer 38:17 – Living pain-free and reclaiming quality of life years after treatment FREE GUT ANALYSIS CALL 🎁 Schedule your free gut analysis call with me!

    35. Get the Life You Want: The Real Cost of Staying Stuck

    In this episode, Lisa Garrett pulls back the curtain on why so many people stay stuck—even when they say they want change. From health and money to relationships and identity, she challenges the stories we tell ourselves to avoid discomfort. Through deeply personal experiences, including risking everything to heal her body, Lisa explores how “money objections” often mask fear, safety, and resistance to growth. This is a candid conversation about listening to your gut, getting uncomfortable, and choosing yourself before rock bottom forces the decision. If you’ve ever felt wired and tired, overextended, or quietly unhappy while telling yourself “now’s not the right time,” this episode will hit close to home. In this episode, you’ll learn: Money is often the excuse—not the real reason—we avoid change Staying stuck always has a cost, even when it feels safer Growth requires discomfort and trusting yourself before it makes sense Saying yes to everyone else often means saying no to yourself You don’t need rock bottom to give yourself permission to change KEY MOMENTS 00:52 – Lisa explains why she was taught to stay quiet and how finding her voice shaped this podcast 03:17 – How life experiences, trauma, and labels quietly determine how we show up 06:53 – Feeling “wired and tired” and the warning signs of living on empty 11:24 – What happens when you remove your backup plans and fully commit to change 20:52 – Why you deserve the life you want now, not someday FREE GUT ANALYSIS CALL 🎁 Schedule your free gut analysis call with me!

    In this deeply moving episode, Lisa sits down with Angie Hanson to talk about grief in its rawest, most life-altering forms. Angie shares the devastating loss of her one-year-old son, followed by the terminal cancer and death of her husband, and then the loss of her brother—all within just a few years. Rather than shutting down, Angie chose to survive, rebuild, and eventually create meaning through grief. From journaling and sleep to parenting through unimaginable loss, this conversation explores what it truly looks like to live after tragedy—and how grief doesn’t end, but transforms. This episode is for anyone who has experienced loss of any kind or who wants to understand better how to show up for others when words feel inadequate.
