    S09E03 - Systemic Healing through Ecological, Nature and Art Therapy with Mor Keshet

    Today’s episode is one for the books! Seriously, if there’s one conversation you choose to listen to in my body of work, this is the one. My beautiful guest and I went deep into holistic healing in the truest sense of that term, through the lens of systems level change. We talked about what it takes to repair connection within ourselves, with one another, and with the more-than-human world, supporting pathways toward resilience, responsibility, and regenerative futures. Mor Keshet is an Integrative Eco-Art Therapist, systems thinker, and founder of TEVEL, a Nature-based healing platform advancing collective resilience in the face of ecological and societal disruption. Her work lives in the intersection of eco and trauma informed psychology, the science of awe, imagination and living systems. Mor’s framework origination has appeared in the journal Ecopsychology, Psychology Today and the Biomimicry Institute. Through TEVEL, Mor is building an ecosystem of regenerative care—developing programs, partnerships, and methodologies that position healing as relational, ecological, and culturally responsive. She works with individuals and institutions including The Nature Conservancy, University of Pennsylvania Weitzman School of Design, the American Art Therapy Association, Bard College and Smart City Expo USA. She is the creator of the Climate Emotions Mandala Project, developed in partnership with the Climate Mental Health Network,and holds leadership and teaching roles within the Climate Psychology Alliance – North America and the Climate Emotional Resilience Institute.

    S09E02 - The Three Pillars of Athletic Lifestyle Medicine with Jerzy Gregorek

    I had an absolute blast sitting down with today’s unique guest, chatting on everything from seeking refuge, to exercise, to cancer, to cabbage (stick around to the end to get his amazing raw vegan cabbage recipe, you & your gut will thank me later). Jerzy Gregorek is a four-time World Weightlifting Champion, poet, and co-author of The Happy Body. He helps people reverse aging, regain strength, and restore flexibility through a program that blends mindful exercise, micro progression, and emotional eating intelligence. Jerzy’s mission is to show that it’s never too late to live a quality life, build vitality, peace of mind, and longevity. Jerzy’s journey has been anything but ordinary. After falling into darkness as a teenager, he became an alcoholic from age 15 to 18. Escaping that path shaped his understanding of resilience and personal responsibility. From there, he rebuilt his life - becoming a political exile in the USA, then a world champion weightlifter, and later a mentor, poet, and PhD student. His philosophy - “Hard Choices, Easy Life; Easy Choices, Hard Life” - comes from lived experience and years of guiding people through transformation. What sets Jerzy apart is his ability to integrate physical training, creative expression, and psychological insight into a holistic approach to health and resilience. He emphasizes that emotional intelligence is a crucial element in overcoming life’s adversities, and that it can be practiced, cultivated, and mastered. His three books, titled The Happy Body: Mastering Food, Exercise, and Rest Choices, are designed to help people embrace this path of strength, wisdom, and balance. The poetry book The Happy Body: Food For Your Soul helps with emotional eating. The Happy Body Virtues: Daily Practices for the Modern Stoic helps with emotional eating and self-regulation, while I Got This: The Art of Getting Grit helps with integrating the stories that contribute to building the skill of living a good life. Jerzy has been featured on The Tim Ferriss Show, delivered a Google Talk, and spoken on numerous wellness and longevity podcasts. His work has helped thousands around the globe adopt a sustainable path to strength and wellbeing. Currently, Jerzy is pursuing a PhD in Humanistic Psychology at Saybrook University, focusing on creativity, innovation, and leadership.

    S09E01 - Healing Under Pressure with Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy with Nicole Garrett

    Welcome back to season 9! We’re kicking it off with my first powerhouse guest, whose mission is to bring clarity, safety, and evidence-based understanding to hyperbaric oxygen therapy and integrative wellness. There is a growing wave of interest in longevity and recovery therapies, but also a lot of confusion and misinformation. She breaks down the science (and safety) of one of the most powerful, foundational tools we have for reducing inflammation, accelerating healing, and supporting long-term health. Nicole Garrett is the CEO of Under Pressure Hyperbarics, a premier hyperbaric oxygen therapy center in Beverly Hills recognized for its clinical-grade safety standards and results-driven approach to wellness. With nearly two decades of experience in hyperbaric medicine, her career began as a commercial diver and dive medic, where she first learned the life-saving applications of pressure and oxygen in extreme environments. Since then, Nicole has helped open and operate HBOT centers across the country and has become a trusted leader in the field. Her work bridges the gap between medical-grade hyperbaric therapy and modern holistic wellness, offering patients a safe and effective path to healing, recovery, and long-term vitality. Nicole is especially passionate about educating clinicians, patients, and the wellness community on the science, indications, and proper protocols behind hyperbaric therapy. Today, she leads a multidisciplinary team at Under Pressure Hyperbarics that supports surgical recovery, sports performance, chronic inflammation, and overall health optimization using hospital-grade chambers and evidence-aligned treatment plans.

    S08E21 - Herbal Support for Chronic Lyme Disease with Richard Mandelbaum

    Today I am back with one of my herbal teachers to talk about herbal and holistic approaches to managing Lyme disease. It is a topic that is becoming ever more relevant as the medical community has been coming to the realization that there is such a thing as chronic Lyme, where acute measures such as antibiotics fall short. This is where herbal support can really shine in helping to peel back the layers that are causing disharmony and reestablish a healthy foundation for health. Richard Mandelbaum RH is a clinical herbalist with a private practice, offering personalized health consultations, online and in person in the southern Catskills, NY. Richard has been an avid student of our native flora for close to forty years, and in addition to seeing clients he teaches classes in clinical herbal medicine, field botany, and phytochemistry. He is a co-founder and core instructor at the ArborVitae School of Traditional Herbalism and is on the faculty at David Winston’s Center for Herbal Studies and the Won Institute of Graduate Studies.

    S08E20 - Reduce Inflammation w/ Science-Backed Natural Solutions w/ Samuel Shepherd - Part2

    I was blown away by today’s guest in his ability to educate on complex mechanisms of actions, as well as his innovation and humility. We touched on so many topics that I had to split this episode in two parts! It was truly reassuring and empowering to learn about healing with natural, science-backed tools to reduce inflammation, the hidden root cause of aging, chronic disease, and cancer. In these two episodes, you will learn how inflammation impacts health at a cellular level and how you can take proactive steps to restore vitality, strengthen immunity, and age with resilience. Samuel Shepherd is an award winning physicist, inventor, and engineer with 42 patents and over 50 years of breakthroughs across biochemical, environmental, and medical engineering. His career has taken him from developing technologies for NASA and the Beijing Olympics to pioneering solutions in alternative energy and environmental remediation. But it was a deeply personal health challenge that led him to his most life-changing discovery. In 2003, Samuel was diagnosed with a rare, untreatable bone marrow cancer. Conventional medicine offered no viable path forward, so he turned to his lifelong expertise in science and innovation. After years of research, he developed ValAsta, the only patented glycosidic form of astaxanthin designed specifically to target inflammation, the root cause of most chronic disease. His unique delivery system makes astaxanthin far more bioavailable than typical supplements, producing remarkable results for energy, mobility, sleep, and overall vitality in both people and pets. Today, Samuel is on a mission to educate others about how inflammation accelerates disease and diminishes quality of life, and how targeted natural solutions can restore health. Beyond his formidable credentials, his personal story of overcoming terminal illness fuels his passion for helping others age with strength, energy, and resilience.
