    Strength in Sobriety with Vicki Swift

    Six years ago, my guest made a decision that changed the course of her life—she chose sobriety. One day became a week, then a year, and what she discovered in that year reshaped her body, mind, and sense of purpose. In this episode, personal trainer and nutrition coach, Vicki Swift, shares how committing to 365 days of sobriety not only transformed her health but also helped her find strength, clarity, and confidence through movement. We talk about how strength training is truly for everyone, the mental and emotional benefits of exercise, and how showing up for your body can anchor your recovery and resilience.

    Aging Without Decline with Eileen Kopsaftis

    We’ve been taught to expect decline as we age—stiffness, pain, weakness, slower metabolism. But what if those changes aren’t caused by age at all, but by how we live? In this episode, we talk with physical therapist, applied functional science practitioner, and nutrition educator, Eileen Kopsaftis, about the powerful truth that aging is not a disease. Eileen explains how the body responds to movement far more than to age, and how many so-called “age-related” issues like joint pain, poor balance, limited mobility, even fatigue, are often the result of inactivity, chronic stress, dehydration, or lifestyle patterns, not the number of candles on a cake. If you’ve ever thought, “This is just what happens when you get older,” this conversation will completely change the narrative.

    Weight Loss Starts in the Mind with Iman Whyte

    Most people approach weight loss with rules, restriction, and willpower — only to end up back where they started. In this episode, personal trainer and functional nutrition coach Iman Whyte shares why lasting weight loss requires a mindset shift, not just a meal plan. We explore the psychology behind eating patterns, identity, self-trust, and the internal stories that keep us stuck. If you’ve ever felt like you “know what to do but can’t seem to do it,” this conversation will meet you right where you are.

    Beyond Calories: Sustainable Health Habits with Berny Bassett

    Most people don’t need another diet—they need a plan that fits their real life.  In this episode, we talk with Berny Bassett, nutrition coach and change psychology specialist, about what it truly takes to build healthy habits that last. Berny’s approach focuses on the whole picture: what we eat, why we eat, how we eat, and the in-between moments that influence choices more than we realize. Instead of restriction or rigid rules, she helps clients integrate mindful eating, strength-building habits, movement, sleep, and self-care into routines that feel doable—not overwhelming.
