    Your Gut Is Talking To You!

    What if your gut is influencing far more than your digestion? Your microbiome may play an important role in the complex relationship between the gut, brain, mood, energy, and overall wellness—and in this fascinating episode of The Raw Vibe, Chuck Tuck sits down with holistic health educator Karen “ZuZu” Armas for an energetic conversation about gut health, natural wellness, nutrition, and the human body. ZuZu shares insights from her personal health journey and decades of educating others about holistic health, cellular health, nutrition, and natural approaches to wellness. She explores why microbiome diversity matters, how diet can interact with neurotransmitters, and why the gut-brain connection has become such an important area of health discussion. The conversation also explores processed foods, antibiotics, minerals, iodine, sunlight, healthy fats, candida, and the importance of understanding how the body functions. ZuZu's work centers on education and helping people better understand their bodies. She is the founder of ZuZu Unleashed, co-founder of Holistic Health Educators, and co-founder of Lilly Fields Wellness Center in Georgia. 🦠 Gut health and microbiome diversity🧠 The gut-brain connection and mental wellness🥗 How nutrition and diet affect the body🧬 Microbiome diversity and chronic health⚡ Neurotransmitters and the digestive system🧂 The role of minerals and iodine in cellular function☀️ Sunlight, vitality, and the body's relationship with nature🍬 Processed foods, sugar, and modern dietary habits🧫 Candida and questions surrounding gut health🌿 Natural and holistic approaches to wellness💡 Why health education can change the way we think about our bodiesZuZu also discusses her own experiences with epilepsy, scoliosis, and arthritis and how those experiences shaped her approach to holistic health education.

    You’re Not Stuck—Your Survival Skills May Be Holding You Back

    Life doesn't always follow the plan. Relationships end. Careers change. Children grow up. Grief arrives. Retirement forces a new identity. Sometimes the person you thought you were—and the life you thought you were building—no longer exists. So what do you do next? On this episode of The Raw Vibe Podcast, I sit down with Chanda Coston, U.S. Navy veteran, business strategist, published author, mother of five, grandmother, and self-described “professional pivoter.” Chanda has lived through military service, entrepreneurship, career transitions, four divorces, grief, retirement at 50, and multiple seasons of rebuilding. Her experiences have given her a unique perspective on something many people struggle with: How do you stop simply surviving your life and start intentionally creating it? Our conversation goes far beyond motivation. We explore the hidden ways survival skills can become self-sabotaging patterns, why highly capable people often feel compelled to carry everything themselves, and why being needed can sometimes become tied to our sense of self-worth. We also get into the difficult questions: 👉 How do you know when resilience has turned into unnecessary endurance?👉 Why do we stay in situations that no longer serve us?👉 What happens when divorce, grief, retirement, or major life changes disrupt your identity?👉 How do you rebuild self-trust after making choices you regret?👉 Is changing your mind really failure—or can it be a sign of growth?👉 How do you let go of the version of yourself that everyone else expects you to be?👉 And perhaps most importantly, how do you start over without believing you're starting from scratch? Chanda brings both professional expertise and deeply personal experience to the conversation, offering practical insight for anyone navigating life transitions, personal growth, career change, relationships, burnout, identity shifts, or the challenge of figuring out what comes next. Because sometimes the biggest breakthrough isn't becoming someone new. It's finally giving yourself permission to become who you were meant to be.

    What Keeps You Going When Life Falls Apart? Part 2

    What keeps you going when the cameras are off, the lights go down, and you're alone with your thoughts? That's the question at the heart of Part 2 of my conversation with Jeff Johnston of Living Undeterred. This episode takes our conversation into some unexpectedly deep territory—exploring resilience, grief, self-compassion, spirituality, human connection, mindfulness, music, mental health, and finding hope during life's darkest moments. Jeff opens up about how his psychedelic experiences changed the way he viewed himself and helped him confront the person he had been hardest on for much of his life: himself. He describes learning to step outside his own ego, develop greater self-compassion, and recognize that he had been carrying enormous expectations and judgment. Then comes one of the most powerful stories of the conversation. Jeff recalls a night scuba diving with his son Seth in Saint Lucia. During a safety stop, the divers turned off their lights—and in the darkness, Jeff suddenly heard the distant calls of whales. The experience became a profound metaphor for life. What if we're so focused on where we're pointing our own spotlight that we're missing everything happening around us? Jeff realized that he had spent portions of his life focused on achievement, money, expectations and his own internal struggles while potentially missing the things that mattered most. He now encourages people to occasionally “turn off the flashlight” and simply listen—to the world, to other people, and to themselves. We also talk about the surprising power of music, why certain sounds can instantly change our emotional state, the importance of allowing ourselves to be who we are without constantly worrying about how other people perceive us, and why Jeff believes lived experience and human connection can be incredibly powerful. But eventually, our conversation comes back to the question that matters most: When you're alone and nobody is watching, what keeps you going? Jeff's answer is simple but incredibly powerful: he reminds himself that he has survived 100% of every worst thing that has ever happened to him. He talks about hope, faith, journaling, resilience, impermanence, and believing that his best days can still be ahead of him. This episode isn't about pretending that life doesn't hurt. It's about recognizing that the hard moments don't last forever—and neither do the good ones. It's about learning to be kinder to ourselves. It's about paying attention. It's about human connection. And sometimes, it's simply about waiting long enough for the darkness to pass. If you've ever struggled with grief, loss, loneliness, mental health, self-doubt, or simply wondered how you're going to get through the next difficult chapter of your life, there's something in this conversation for you. Because sometimes the most important thing you can do is keep going. 🎙️ The Raw Vibe PodcastReal People. Real Stories. Real Conversations.

    When Life Changes Everything: Finding Strength When You Need It Most

    Better, Not Bitter: Jeff Johnston on Loss, Addiction, Grief & Finding Purpose Part 1 of 2 What happens when life takes someone you love—and then asks you to keep going? In Part 1 of this deeply personal two-part conversation, I sit down with Jeff Johnston, founder of Living Undeterred, for a conversation that goes far beyond addiction and mental health. Jeff knows devastating loss firsthand. After losing his 23-year-old son, Seth, to fentanyl poisoning, his life changed forever. Years later, he would experience another devastating loss with the death of his wife, Prudence, from alcoholism. It would be understandable for grief, anger, and bitterness to take over. But Jeff made a different choice. He chose “Better, Not Bitter.” In this episode, Jeff opens up about what that choice really means—and what it looks like when you're dealing with grief that doesn't simply disappear. We talk about addiction, fentanyl, mental health, the stigma surrounding substance abuse, the importance of asking for help, and the difficult question many people eventually face: How do you find a reason to keep moving forward when your world has been turned upside down? This isn't a conversation about having all the answers. It's about being honest about the questions. Jeff shares the experiences that ultimately led him to create Living Undeterred, a mission dedicated to helping people and communities confront addiction, mental health challenges, grief, and the human cost of silence. If you have ever experienced profound loss—or know someone who has—this conversation may hit differently. And this is only Part 1. Part 2 takes the conversation even deeper. 🎙️ The Raw Vibe PodcastReal people. Real stories. Real conversations.

    How Chronic Stress Is Damaging Your Skin

    What if your skin is telling you a story about what’s happening inside your body?I’m joined by Natalie Novak-Bauss, Co-Founder, celebrity aesthetician, certified aesthetician, master organic gardener, and clean beauty pioneer, and Ron Webb, Co-Founder, aerospace engineer, and formulation scientist behind KPS Essentials.Natalie’s journey into clean beauty began with a startling question. In 1987, while working for a high-end skincare brand, she witnessed a product dissolve carpet after an earthquake. It made her wonder: if these chemicals can damage fabric, what are they doing to our skin? That moment sparked more than 30 years of work developing skincare designed to nourish rather than disrupt the skin.Ron came to skincare from a completely different world. With a background in aerospace engineering at The Boeing Company, Ron brought his experience with precision science into plant-drug research and holistic animal wound care. That unique combination of engineering and botanical science ultimately led to the development of DermaNū Technology®, KPS Essentials’ proprietary approach to nutrient delivery.Together, Natalie and Ron challenge the idea that skincare is simply about looking good.We explore the fascinating connection between chronic stress, the nervous system, inflammation, lymphatic health, environmental toxins, aging, and the condition of our skin. We also discuss how systemic health and lifestyle choices can influence what we see on the outside—and whether the future of skincare may be less about covering up problems and more about understanding what the body is communicating.In This Episode, We Explore:• How chronic stress can affect skin health and contribute to visible changes• The connection between the nervous system, inflammation, and skin• Why your skin can provide clues about your internal health• How environmental factors and potentially irritating ingredients can affect the skin• The role of the lymphatic system and lymphatic drainage in overall wellness• What makes organic, nutrient-focused skincare different• The science and development behind DermaNū Technology®• How nutrient micronization may influence topical delivery• The relationship between skin health, systemic wellness, and healthy aging• Why addressing what's happening inside the body may be an important part of caring for what's happening on the outsideThis conversation goes far beyond beauty. It's about understanding the relationship between skin health and overall wellness, and asking a bigger question:Is your skin simply something you see—or is it communicating something you need to hear?If you're interested in skin health, chronic stress, inflammation, organic skincare, holistic health, functional wellness, healthy aging, skincare technology, lymphatic health, or the connection between the nervous system and the skin, this episode is for you.🎧 Subscribe to The Raw Vibe Podcast for more conversations, and explore the ideas that can change the way we see ourselves and the world around us.About Our GuestsNatalie Novak-BaussCo-Founder • Celebrity Aesthetician • Clean Beauty PioneerWith more than three decades in the aesthetics and skincare industry, Natalie has dedicated her career to developing clean, effective skincare while making professional-level results more accessible.
