  1. The Dark Side of Supplements and the Amazon Prime Badge

    The Dark Side of Supplements and the Amazon Prime Badge

    Welcome to a solo soapbox moment that’s long overdue. Today, we pull back the curtain on the supplement industry—how it works, where it fails, and what you can do to protect your health (and wallet). With up to 60% of Amazon supplements failing label accuracy tests, we explore the darker side of mass-market wellness: review hijacking, counterfeit listings, and contaminated formulas hiding in plain sight. But this isn’t just fear-mongering. It’s about empowerment. I share simple, actionable steps to source better products, use independent testing tools, and navigate the system with clarity—not paranoia. You’ll also hear why no supplement can fix a body that’s out of balance, how genetic variations impact efficacy, and why foundational health still matters more than any magic pill.

    Cancer Isn’t the Enemy—Your Terrain Is | Dr. Elise Sulser ND

    Dr. Elise explains terrain therapy as a foundational approach: envision the body as a garden, and cancer as weeds thriving in poor soil. By excavating the terrain—balancing nutrients, reducing toxins, optimizing metabolism, and supporting detox pathways—she builds biological resilience and nurtures healthy cellular growth. We discuss trends she’s seeing in younger cancer clients and the detailed lab models she uses to assess angiogenesis, immune ratios, mitochondrial function, and inflammatory biomarkers. Elise also shares her personal journey caring for her mother through multiple cancer diagnoses, and how integrative modalities like fasting protocols, manual lymph drainage, meditation, and psychological insight work together with biology. Finally, we explore the role of mistletoe therapy in Germany and beyond, including how it may sensitize cells, reduce inflammation, and support long-term surveillance in an evidence-supported and cost-effective way. HIGHLIGHTS [00:00] - How mistletoe therapy supports immunity, inflammation, and cancer care [01:37] - Terrain coaching explained: treating the body like a garden, not a battlefield [02:50] - How toxic exposures and nutrient gaps disrupt your internal terrain [04:14] - Why stress, circadian rhythms, and environment matter more than genetics [06:17] - What we can learn from rising cancer rates in pets and younger humans [10:02] - Dr. Elise’s personal story: supporting her mother through seven diagnoses [13:36] - The hidden influence of environmental toxins on today’s cancer epidemic [15:03] - Key terrain lab markers: angiogenesis, mitochondrial function, immune ratios [18:48] - Why tracking your labs monthly reveals patterns medicine often misses [20:29] - The danger of DIY protocols without context or clinical oversight [23:36] - After oncology: how terrain coaching fills the post-treatment gap [24:02] - Building custom protocols: drainage, detox, breathwork, and more [25:49] - The supplement trap: why quality and sourcing are everything [29:18] - Individualized biohacking: when common supplements become counterproductive [31:30] - Nature’s medicine chest: sunlight, grounding, fasting, and movement [36:29] - The emotional terrain: somatic healing, journaling, psychedelics, and voice work [40:35] - Where terrain meets tech: fasting, LDN, methylene blue, and more [53:51] - Will mainstream hospitals ever embrace integrative oncology?

    This is not your average health conversation. Dr. Anil Bajnath joins me to decode the exposome—the totality of your lifelong exposures—and how it’s quietly shaping your energy, mood, resilience, and even your future disease risk. We explore how deep data from multi‑omics testing can translate into practical steps for healing, from detox pathways and mitochondrial support to the balance between rigorous science and joy-driven living. We talk through everything from electric grounding and photobiomodulation to parenting as a longevity stressor, and how the body's “biological 401(k)” can be optimized with personalized strategies. This episode bridges ancient wisdom, futuristic science, and the very human art of transformation.

    From Transplant to Trailblazer: Mark Durante’s Exosome Breakthrough in Regenerative Medicine

    Nine years ago, Mark Durante received a heart transplant that saved his life—but it was just the beginning of his healing journey. When post-transplant neuropathy nearly disabled him, he turned to a friend in stem cell research. What happened next changed everything. This episode dives deep into how exosomes work, what makes 3D manufacturing a breakthrough, and why regenerative medicine isn’t just for the rich and famous anymore.

    Fighting Through Trauma with UFC Champion Miesha Tate

    Miesha Tate is a fighter in every sense of the word—but the real victories didn’t happen in the octagon. In this intimate episode, we go behind the title belts to explore the deeper work: healing trauma, redefining success, and reconnecting with the self. Miesha opens up about being the only girl wrestling boys in high school, navigating a career in a male-dominated sport, and what happened when she hit a “false summit” of success that didn’t deliver the peace she was chasing. We talk about parenting with intention, recovery through movement and tech, and the spiritual and emotional work that brought her back to center. Whether you’re facing burnout, parenting challenges, or your own inner critic—this episode is a powerful reminder that our greatest breakthroughs often begin with breaking down. HIGHLIGHTS [00:00] - Winning a UFC title—and realizing it didn’t fix what was broken [05:32] - Miesha’s start in wrestling and early brushes with adversity [12:26] - Why MMA is more mindful art than chaotic violence [16:40] - The “false summit” of success and redefining identity [23:19] - Breaking generational patterns as a parent [27:34] - Plant medicine, prayer, and the road back to self [35:09] - Biohacking and clean living with intention [42:50] - Why RICE isn’t the recovery answer and what actually works [56:07] - Her message to young athletes (and her younger self) LINKS & RESOURCES Built For Growth Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/built-for-growth-by-miesha-tate/id1768061788 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/builtforgrowthpodcast/ Miesha's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mieshatate/ BEAM Minerals: http://beamminerals.com/beautifullybroken Use code beautifullybroken for 20% off Silver Biotics Wound Healing Gel: https://bit.ly/3JnxyDD (30% off) (Use Code: BEAUTIFULLYBROKEN for Discount) StemRegen: https://www.stemregen.co/products/stemregen?_ef_transaction_id=&oid=1&affid=52 Code: beautifullybroken LightPathLED: https://lightpathled.pxf.io/c/3438432/2059835/25794 CONNECT WITH FREDDIE Website and Store: (http://www.beautifullybroken.world)   Instagram: (https://www.instagram.com/beautifullybroken.world/)   YouTube: (https://www.youtube.com/@BeautifullyBrokenWorld)

    Dr. Melissa Sonners on the Pandemic of Loneliness and the Power of Connection

    In this soulful and timely episode, I sit down with Dr. Melissa Sonners—chiropractor, author, and mother of three—for a deep conversation on navigating chronic illness, rediscovering inner wisdom, and healing in community. We talk about how neurological Lyme disease and mold toxicity shook her life—and how it ultimately became the catalyst for transformation. Melissa shares why rest and stillness matter more than most of us admit, how brainwave rhythms can radically shape our state of being, and why connection (to ourselves and others) is the real medicine we all need. We also dive into her upcoming book The Connection Code, which provides tools to reclaim your voice, values, and vitality—especially in a world that often feels isolating. From power hours to playful rituals, this conversation is a heartfelt invitation to start listening to what your body’s been trying to say all along. HIGHLIGHTS [01:40] - How a wellness festival sparked reconnection and community [05:38] - Facing neurological Lyme, memory loss, and a full-body shutdown [12:14] - Why she ditched the "power hour" and built a nervous-system-friendly morning [22:08] - The two-minute practice that can reconnect you to your inner voice [33:58] - Creating true community by coming home to yourself [39:04] - The brainwave blueprint: Theta, Alpha, Beta—and how to live in flow [47:13] - The 3-part decision matrix: intuition, nervous system, and values [55:49] - Behind the book: how The Connection Code came to life [59:27] - Melissa’s one message to a divided world: come back to who you are Dr. Melissa's RESOURCES Best Friends Book Nook- an online book club for women: https://www.drmelissasonners.com/book-nook Regulate YOUR Rhythm: https://www.drmelissasonners.com/regulated-rhythm The Connection Code: https://www.drmelissasonners.com/resources/connection-code-bundle Morning Self-WITH challenge: https://www.drmelissasonners.com/resources/5-day-challenge-of-being-self-with How to Set the Tone for Your Day: Morning Sit Spot Ideas: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w7biHnjVFdk How To Turn Your iPhone Screen RED [Block Blue Light At Night]: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XZ3EFgs3CQg Upgrade Your Wellness: BEAM Minerals: http://beamminerals.com/beautifullybroken Use code beautifullybroken for 20% off StemRegen: https://www.stemregen.co/products/stemregen?_ef_transaction_id=&oid=1&affid=52 Code: beautifullybroken Silver Biotics Wound Healing Gel: https://bit.ly/3JnxyDD (30% off) (Use Code: BEAUTIFULLYBROKEN for Discount) CONNECT WITH DR.

    From the Fall of Rome to the Rise of Burnout: The Human Condition Revisited

    Welcome to the Beautifully Broken Podcast! In this solo episode, I open my heart and speak candidly about why I keep showing up to produce this show—and how it has become the greatest teacher in my life. I explore the eternal thread of human suffering that ties us to past civilizations, the modern epidemic of loneliness and chronic illness, and the quiet power of storytelling in igniting hope. From the fall of Rome to the rise of suicide in the age of supercomputers, this reflection journeys through history, psychology, and the challenges of being human in 2025. I dive into what it means to live with intention, to own your healing, and why investing in personal growth is the best ROI you’ll ever find. If you're feeling disconnected or overwhelmed, let this be your call to anchor in purpose and choose to rewrite your story. HIGHLIGHTS [0:44] - Why suffering isn’t a glitch, it’s part of the design [1:07] - Lessons from the fall of Rome and the resilience of civilizations [2:17] - We have supercomputers in our pockets—and yet, we’re still struggling [2:30] - Sobering stats: Suicide vs. homicide in modern history [3:18] - The pandemic of disconnection amid technological hyperconnectivity [3:44] - Why I invest in this podcast: The ripple effect of purpose and story [4:23] - My universal truth: Radical candor and rewriting your reality [5:08] - Foundational health starts with minerals: Beam Minerals promo [6:06] - Celebrating 6 years and 9 seasons—how you can support the show [6:29] - Explore curated wellness tools at BeautifullyBroken.World [7:30] - Closing message: Your healing is the heart of this podcast LINKS & RESOURCES BEAM Minerals: http://beamminerals.com/beautifullybroken Use code beautifullybroken for 20% off ::UPGRADE YOUR WELLNESS:: Silver Biotics Wound Healing Gel: https://bit.ly/3JnxyDD (30% off) (Use Code: BEAUTIFULLYBROKEN for Discount) StemRegen: https://www.stemregen.co/products/stemregen?_ef_transaction_id=&oid=1&affid=52 Code: beautifullybroken LightPathLED: https://lightpathled.pxf.io/c/3438432/2059835/25794 CONNECT WITH FREDDIE Website and Store: (http://www.beautifullybroken.world)   Instagram: (https://www.instagram.com/beautifullybroken.world/)   YouTube: (https://www.youtube.com/@BeautifullyBrokenWorld)
