Learning To Say No Without Guilt (EP 114)

Thu, 23 Jul 2026 04:00:00 -0400

This conversation picks up right where part one left off, but now we zoom in on Barb’s actual work helping overwhelmed professional women who say yes when they want to say no. She breaks down “internal safety” as the ability to have your own back when someone is upset with you or when that old guilt and negative self-talk shows up, instead of caving or beating yourself up for weeks. Barb drives home that boundaries aren’t about controlling other people, they’re about deciding what you will do and following through, even when it’s uncomfortable.

We also get into people‑pleasing, codependency, perfectionism, and the burnout that shows up when you’re constantly pouring from an empty cup. Barb shares how she built self‑worth, self‑love, and self‑trust one decision and one boundary at a time, plus how reparenting work helped her “backfill” the love she didn’t get as a kid. She lays out practical first steps: starting with a boundary on your own self‑talk, practicing with easygoing people, and learning that discomfort doesn’t automatically mean danger. By the end, we’re talking Hallmark movies, Pellegrino with lemon, and how recovery even changes your taste buds.

When “Being Nice” Turns Toxic (EP 113)

Wed, 22 Jul 2026 04:00:00 -0400

When Barb Nangle talks about boundaries, she’s not talking about controlling other people, she’s talking about finally realizing you have standards for your own life and you’re allowed to live by them. She shares how she went from “just dealing with whatever came at her” to saying no to things that drained her, limiting time with people who couldn’t respect her needs, and choosing sleep, health, and sanity over people-pleasing.

We walk through her codependent bottom, inviting a homeless friend to stay “just to be nice” until she felt trapped in her own home, and how that moment pushed her into therapy, Al‑Anon, Codependents Anonymous, Adult Children of Alcoholics, and ultimately a trauma‑recovery path through ACA and Overeaters Anonymous. Barb opens up about losing over 100 pounds, ending one‑sided friendships, changing the way her team functioned at Yale, and finally ending up in the first truly healthy romantic relationship of her life because she learned to know herself, tell the truth, and hold boundaries even when it was scary.

Make Anything Possible, Even Healing (EP 112)

Tue, 21 Jul 2026 04:00:00 -0400

Dr. Noushin Hart’s story is a raw one. She talks about living with hidden trauma for decades, trying to push through with therapy and medication, and eventually hitting a wall where she felt like the usual medical answers had run out. That moment changed how she saw herself, how she saw patients, and how she looked at healing.

What makes this conversation hit hard is that it is not just about cancer care, it is about what happens when people feel dismissed, boxed in, or told their story is already written. Dr. Hart explains why she stopped leading with statistics, why she believes language can shape outcomes, and why trauma, sleep, food, stress, and environment all matter when you are trying to get better.

From Sugar Cravings To Real Recovery (EP 111)

Mon, 29 Jun 2026 13:17:10 -0400

Paige comes back on Unhealthy and basically dismantles the idea that we can “fix” ourselves with another diet, a GLP‑1 prescription, or sheer willpower. We talk about dopamine with a memory, why you end up back in the cookie jar at night, and how using food for comfort is giving it a job it was never designed to do. She walks through the deeper stuff we usually dodge: trauma, grief, loneliness, boredom, lack of purpose, and why weight gain is just the visible byproduct of what’s really going on.

We also get practical. Paige breaks down her own recovery routine, from planning six breakfasts ahead to food prep that kills decision fatigue so she doesn’t have to “be strong” at 9 p.m. We dig into single‑ingredient foods, cleaning out the junk in your house, navigating family members who still want their cookies, and her simple rule that if it’s in your house, it’s in your mouth. By the end, this isn’t a doom‑and‑gloom food talk, it’s about feeling good, reclaiming your brain, and making recovery something you actually look forward to.

Are You Really Addicted To Sugar (EP 110)

Thu, 25 Jun 2026 04:00:00 -0400

Most of us joke about having a sweet tooth, but Paige Alexander has lived through the darker side of sugar, where “just one cookie” turns into a full-on binge you hide from everyone. She walks me through her journey from living on a dessert diet and out-exercising the calories to hitting that point in midlife where the weight crept up, the binges got worse, and the old tricks stopped working. Hearing the word “addiction” for the first time wasn’t shameful for her; it was a massive relief, because it finally explained why her brain would push her toward sugar even when her body was begging her to stop.

Paige also shares the science in plain language: how cravings pull blood flow away from your frontal lobe, shut off your brakes, and light up the addiction centers in your brain so hard that digging a donut out of the trash can feel like a genuine emergency. She talks about secret wedding-cake runs, progressive cravings that demand more and more for less and less payoff, and how food addiction is actually one of the hardest addictions to treat because you still have to eat and the triggers are everywhere. Out of that mess, she built Real Food Recovery, a community built around real food, sleep, movement, and some kind of higher power, where people get compassion, structure, and a soft place to land while they learn to live without sugar running the show.

Are You Handing AI Your Life? (EP 109)

Tue, 23 Jun 2026 04:00:00 -0400

I brought Catherine back for a third round because we both felt something was still unfinished, and it landed in a place I didn’t expect: how much we’re letting AI and tech speak, feel, and even relate for us. We start with her process of trusting zero prep, trusting intuition, and even helping a 77–year–old finally drop a lifetime of jealousy, then swing hard into this strange new world where people let chatbots write texts to their spouse and apps raise their kids.

Stop Ignoring Your Gut, Start Living (EP 108)

Fri, 19 Jun 2026 04:00:00 -0400

Catherine Creestani is back to talk about what life really looks like after you walk away from the job, the title, and the version of “success” everyone else applauds but your soul can’t stand. She shares how her days now revolve around mom duties, homeschooling, writing, podcasting, and clients, and why she actually schedules empty days on purpose so her nervous system can come down out of permanent hustle mode. We talk about the difference between feeling productive and actually being in flow, and what happens when your calendar is packed but your life feels empty.

Catherine walks us through how Willow Healing evolved from early channeling work and a psychic hotline to something much deeper: helping people rebuild the relationship they have with themselves. She explains inner authority as that quiet, grounded voice in you that already knows what’s right, even while your mind is busy spinning stories and checking the weather app instead of grabbing the umbrella your gut told you to take. We dig into how easily we hand our power to social media, technology, and other people’s opinions, and why so many folks can tell you what their partner is doing wrong but can’t answer a simple question: “What do you actually want?”

If you’re stuck in “I can’t” or terrified of making the wrong move, this conversation is a gentle call-out and a real invitation. Catherine shares practical starter steps like doing a life audit, bringing one joyful thing back into your day, reframing “have to” tasks, and using your body’s signals as green lights and hard no’s. We also talk discernment, failure as feedback, music that magically shows up on her playlist at the exact right time, and her belief that you’re never too old or too young to be reacquainted with your soul. This one is for anyone who knows something has to change but needs help taking that first honest step.

Letting Go Of The Life You Built (EP 107)

Tue, 16 Jun 2026 04:00:00 -0400

If you’ve ever convinced yourself, “I just need to push a little harder,” this episode might hit a little too close to home. Catherine walks us through the arc from ambitious young speech pathologist to co‑owner of a booming clinic, pulling six figures a month while quietly abandoning her own needs, values, and even her love of music to keep the peace at home and at work. We talk about how over‑functioning becomes a habit: micromanaging staff, answering 100 emails every morning, never getting sick because you’re too wired to stop, and then waking up one day realizing you don’t actually want the life you built.

Circadian Rhythm Saved My Life (EP 106)

Fri, 05 Jun 2026 04:00:00 -0400

If you’ve ever done all the “right” health things and still felt awful, Jason Yun’s story is going to sound uncomfortably familiar. He was the textbook gym owner: 4:30 am alarms, 5:15 am classes, late‑night sessions, massive smoothies, and bodybuilding nutrition that looked impressive on paper but quietly wrecked his hormones, sleep, and mental health. Behind the scenes, he went from chasing muscle and performance to dealing with a popped back on a deadlift, losing about 70 pounds, spiraling into severe depression, and battling weekly suicidal thoughts while still being “the health guy” for his clients.

In our conversation, Jason opens up about napping in his car just to survive the next class, living on expert diet rules and supplements, and still ending up with upside‑down cortisol, wrecked melatonin, and a body that couldn’t keep up. That’s the line where he finally said, “enough” and went all in on circadian rhythm, light, and what he calls Mito hacking. We dig into why late‑night eating crushed his sleep, how sunrise with naked eyes started normalizing his hormones in weeks, and why timing, light, and simple daily rhythms might matter more than your macro spreadsheet or the latest stack.

Stop Giving Your Health Away (EP 105)

Wed, 27 May 2026 04:00:00 -0400

Magic Barclay spent more than 40 years being the “good patient” who did what she was told, took the pills, and tried to push through the pain, only to be told it was all in her head. In this conversation, she shares how chronic illness, cancer, medical gaslighting, and being quietly dropped from social invitations finally forced her to ask a hard question: what if my body has been right all along and nobody bothered to listen.

We dig into how functional medicine helped her stop playing whack‑a‑mole with symptoms and start looking at root causes, including trauma, hormones, and a powerful pathway called PNEI that links your thoughts, nervous system, hormones, and immune system. Magic explains why autoimmune issues are not “your body attacking itself,” why even a paper cut counts as trauma, and how fear keeps us handing our health over to people who never teach us what’s actually happening.

It’s Not Lyme, It’s Something Else (EP 104)

Mon, 25 May 2026 18:00:00 -0400

If you’ve ever walked out of a doctor’s office with “normal” labs but a body that feels like it’s falling apart, this episode is for you. Greg Lee and I dig into the tech he uses in his Lyme Research and Healing Center, a scanner that works kind of like Star Trek medicine to pick up hidden infections, toxins, brain issues, and gut problems that standard tests miss. We get into why some folks do “everything right” with antibiotics and still crash, and why so many end up asking Google and AI for answers after the medical system shrugs.

Greg shares real stories you will not forget. There’s the UK school leader who spent five years treating Lyme, only to find out her biggest problem was candida overgrowth from all those antibiotics, and the woman whose chronic symptoms traced back to tarantula toxins after a beach trip in Florida. We even talk about the college kid with genius-level brains whose memory came back after snorting bee venom under supervision, plus some intense Herxheimer reactions that will make you think twice about “more meds, more often” as a strategy.

From NASA Robots To Root Cause (EP 103)

Mon, 25 May 2026 17:10:43 -0400

Greg Lee didn’t leave NASA because he got bored playing with robots in space. He left because his gut was exploding, his brain felt like dial‑up internet, and the meds that were supposed to “fix” him made it worse. Picture running high‑stakes experiments at 2:30 in the morning while wondering if you’re going to sprint out of a meeting to the bathroom again. His doctors told him it was irritable bowel syndrome, gave him a prescription, and sent him on his way… even as the brain fog and anxiety started tanking his work and his sleep.

Out of options, Greg followed a colleague’s suggestion and tried acupuncture. Not only did an acupuncturist help calm his gut and change his diet, it cracked open a completely different way of looking at health, energy, and what “root cause” actually means. That path led him out of engineering and into Chinese medicine, subtle energy work, and eventually to running the Lyme Research and Healing Center in Maryland, where he helps people with Lyme, mold, autoimmune issues, and long‑term “what is wrong with me?” symptoms that everyone else shrugs off.

Rethinking “Good” And “Bad” Foods (EP 102)

This episode is for anyone who has ever counted calories, tried the next “miracle” diet, or gone to bed mad at themselves because of what they ate… or didn’t eat. I talk with registered dietitian and eating disorder specialist Jessica Setnick, who has spent decades in the trenches of those hard conversations, about why so many of us feel like food is running the show and why “I’m fine” usually translates to “feelings I’m not expressing.” We start with that little word fine, move into the awkward “so what do you do” conversations about being a dietitian, and quickly land in the uncomfortable truth that a lot of what we call “healthy” is shaped by culture, social media, government, and marketing long before we ever sit down to eat.

Jessica breaks down why there isn’t one “normal” way to eat and why those neat little plate diagrams and public health messages can actually make us feel more broken, not less. She explains how the same tools used to help people with full-blown eating disorders can help the rest of us who are “just trying to eat better” but keep getting stuck in the same cycles of rules, rebellion, and regret. We get into intermittent fasting, processed food fear, and the way people brag about their diets as if food has become their whole personality, and she doesn’t hold back on what’s actually harmful versus what just sounds good on TikTok.

Brain Surgery, Setbacks, And Second Chances (EP 101)

Wed, 20 May 2026 04:00:00 -0400

In this episode, Dan and I walk through the messy middle that most comeback stories skip: the fear under the jokes, the “get me out of here” note he wrote from his hospital bed, the boredom and grind of rehab, and the second “you’ve got to be kidding me” brain setback that dragged him even lower than the first. He talks openly about fatigue, living with a 75 percent battery, and why he let himself “lay in the suck” for a while before deciding to go all‑in on recovery instead of living like a victim.

Dan also shares the simple mindset shifts and routines that keep him going now: his mantra “it’s not what happens to you, but how you respond that matters,” his “chop wood, carry water” daily rhythm, and the four horsemen of motivation that helped him out‑work self‑doubt. We connect his story back to the rest of us who are just wrestling with burnout, health scares, life changes, or one more rough season at work, and Dan lays out a practical, stoic‑inspired way to handle change when the waves keep coming.

I Bought a RingConn - not the Oura (EP 100)

Mon, 18 May 2026 04:00:00 -0400

I’ve talked about it before, but this time I actually followed through and bought a smart ring: the RingConn, not the Oura Ring. Oura has the stronger peer-reviewed validation story and a big reputation, and I’m not arguing with that at all, but when it came time to swipe my own card, RingConn made the more practical argument for where I am right now.

05:56 What is Ancestral Eating - Paleo vs Primal Explained
11:04 The Cholesterol Myth and Agricultural Revolution
18:24 Beverly's Personal Health Story and Science Background

46:51 Wrap-Up and Resources

Beverly Meyer is a certified clinical nutritionist who's been in the game since the '80s. She's also a self-diagnosed wellness warrior who figured out her own sleep apnea, celiac disease, and rare immune disorder through relentless research and trial-and-error.

We dove into what ancestral (or primal, or paleo) eating actually means. It's not some trendy influencer thing—it's eating the way humans did for hundreds of thousands of years before agriculture came along and convinced us that grass seeds (aka grains) were food. Spoiler: they're not great for us.

Sleep Apnea Warning Signs (EP 98)

Wed, 06 May 2026 04:10:00 -0400

Beverly Meyer is not your typical nutritionist. She's a certified clinical nutritionist and functional health practitioner who's been in the health game since the 1970s. Her whole approach is built around getting to root causes instead of slapping a Band-Aid on symptoms, and she's been preaching blackout bedrooms and mouth taping for 20+ years before it was trendy.

We started with sleep apnea because Beverly has it herself, and she's become somewhat of an expert on living with it. The stats are wild: sleep apnea is the number one undiagnosed medical disorder in the United States. One in five adults have it and don't know it. The scary part? You can be a thin, non-snoring person like Beverly and still stop breathing 50 to 100 times a night. Your blood oxygen levels can drop into the 70s, which is absolutely not okay.

Mind Hunger Versus Real Hunger (EP 97)

Wed, 06 May 2026 04:00:00 -0400

This episode is part two of my conversation with anti‑diet health and life coach Sherry Shaban, and yes, we’re still poking holes in everything diet culture has been screaming at us for years. Sherry recaps her journey from a brutal back injury at 16, to hard partying, to obsessive fitness, and finally to building a much healthier relationship with food and her body.

Make Peace With Food, Finally (EP 96)

Fri, 01 May 2026 04:00:00 -0400

This conversation with Sherry Shaban is for anyone who has ever stared at an empty pizza box thinking, “How did we get here again?” while also knowing way too much about carbs, macros, and whatever diet is trending this month. Sherry is an osteopath, strength coach, and self-described science nerd who used to live in what she calls a self-made food prison: counting grams, tracking every bite, and stressing out her family and friends with constantly changing rules about what she would or wouldn’t eat.

Fat Loss for Busy Men (EP 95)

Thu, 30 Apr 2026 04:00:00 -0400

What I liked about Brian is he's not out here selling some magic diet or begging you to join CrossFit. He's talking about real systems that fit into your actual chaotic life. One of his clients lost 38 pounds in 100 days by walking 10,000 steps a day. That's it. No vegetables. No meal prep Sundays. Just walked and managed his calories. Another guy dropped 13 pounds, got his confidence back, went job hunting, and landed the same position at a different company for 65 grand more a year.

The Real Reason Your Kid Can’t Lose Weight (EP 94)

Wed, 29 Apr 2026 04:00:00 -0400

We dug into one of the most emotional topics out there: kids, weight, and the mess of shame, blame, and bad advice wrapped around childhood obesity. Dr. Evan Nadler breaks down why obesity is a chronic disease driven heavily by genetics and epigenetics, why kids are not “choosing” this, and why telling them to just move more and eat less is lazy, outdated nonsense that doesn’t work for most adults either.

We also got real about BMI as a screening tool, how parental health and pregnancy weight gain affect a child’s long-term risk, and why the body fights to defend its weight even when you’re doing “all the right things.” From GLP‑1 meds like semaglutide to bariatric surgery in teens, Dr. Nadler walks through what’s actually available, what’s approved for kids, why it’s not the “easy way out,” and how early treatment can prevent a lifetime of metabolic damage.

Chronic Pain’s Muscle Connection (EP 93)

Tue, 28 Apr 2026 04:00:00 -0400

Julie has been hunting down chronic pain for almost four decades, and she is not buying the lazy “nothing’s wrong” answer when your scans look fine but you can barely stand up straight. She walks me through how tight muscles pull on joints like someone yanking your hair, why sitting wrecks your lower back, and how she stumbled into this whole thing by accidentally knocking out a woman’s three-week headache on a cruise ship. We also get into her Jules Stroke method, why she ditched traditional sliding-oil massage, and how she ended up treating everyone from bodybuilders and marathoners to symphony musicians and regular office chair warriors.

We talk practical stuff too: why your iliacus and other hip flexors might be the real jerks behind your low back pain, how plantar fasciitis is usually a lower leg muscle tantrum, and why rolling a tennis ball under your foot is basically massaging the wrong part of the problem. Julie lays out how her books Treat Yourself to Pain-Free Living and The 15-Minute Back Pain Solution teach you to chase pain back to the actual source, and she explains how she coaches people over Zoom around the world to fix this stuff themselves.

Living with Long COVID (EP 92)

Fri, 24 Apr 2026 04:00:00 -0400

This conversation is for anyone who “never bounced back” after COVID and has been told it’s just stress, burnout, or all in their head. Dr. Zeest walks me through how a high-performing physician ended up collapsing in a hospital parking lot, what long COVID actually is, and why fatigue, brain fog, and “just not feeling like yourself” aren’t character flaws or laziness. We talk about the medical side, the emotional crash, and the identity free-fall of going from everyday superhero to someone who has to rest before and after a simple conversation.

She also breaks down how she used her critical-care brain on herself: thinking in organ systems, prioritizing symptoms, and building a step-by-step approach when doctors didn’t have answers or treatments. We get into the grief, the guilt of stepping away from work and family roles, the hard conversations at home, and how she rebuilt a different version of her life that’s smaller on paper, but still meaningful, connected, and honest.

Homeless Pothead To Health CEO (EP 91)

Wed, 22 Apr 2026 04:00:00 -0400

This part of the conversation dives into the messy, human side of health — not just lab reports and buzzwords. Len explains why he avoided pharmaceuticals after watching his grandfather suffer through stroke after stroke while his family juggled bags of meds and side effects. That early distrust pushed him toward cannabis as his own medicine for ADHD, which later evolved into deep work in genetics, epigenetics, and the endocannabinoid system. Today, his EndoDNA platform lets doctors swab patients, pull blood work, and use an AI called BIOS to generate treatment plans that include pharmaceuticals, supplements, and lifestyle changes tailored to that specific person.

We cover hormone testing for women dealing with early perimenopause and rough menopause, men quietly going through andropause, and how personalized dosing can change everything from pellets to GLP‑1 drugs. Len shares how their clinical trials are exploring personalized approaches for conditions like Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, and autism, and why the real magic is the feedback loop: epigenetic data, bloodwork, and outcomes feeding the AI so treatment gets more and more individualized. We also zoom back out to regular life: the junk we call food, how fake “healthy” processed stuff speeds up aging, why movement and resistance training matter as we get older, and how cutting loose the “energy vampires” in your life might be as important as changing your diet.

I sit down with Len May, co‑founder and CEO of EndoDNA, to unpack what our genetics are really telling us about how we eat, handle stress, and respond to our environment. Len explains DNA as an “encoding” that sets up predispositions, while epigenetics, lifestyle, and neurochemistry decide which switches actually get turned on—impacting everything from inflammation and gut issues to cognitive decline.

We also touch on how AI is now helping doctors interpret this data, moving from our current “sick care” model to something closer to true preventive healthcare. Len shares examples like the APOE4 gene and Alzheimer’s risk, cortisol’s impact on pain and gut health, and how simple choices around food, supplementation, and therapies can help keep your body closer to balance. This first part ends with a teaser into Len’s personal story—immigrating from Lithuania, getting labeled with ADD, discovering cannabis, and eventually building EndoDNA as a bridge between plant medicine and precision genetics.

Own Your Health Story (EP 89)

Sat, 11 Apr 2026 04:00:00 -0400

In Part 2 of my conversation with Carlijn Krigjer, we shift from the struggle to the solutions. Carlijn picks up where we left off and walks me through how she completely turned her health around—by tuning into her body, aligning with natural rhythms, and questioning a lot of what we’re told about “healthy living.”

We get into everything from sunlight and circadian health to diet, water quality, and gut health—and she doesn’t hold back on challenging conventional wisdom. Whether it’s wearable tech, probiotics, or even how we drink water, this episode is all about rethinking what it really means to be healthy and finding what actually works for you.

Losing Your Period, Finding Yourself (EP 87)

Sun, 05 Apr 2026 04:00:00 -0400

I brought Carlijn on because her story is the kind of “I did everything right and still got sick” tale that so many of us can relate to. She was fit, clean-eating, and crushing school, yet her body quietly broke down to the point of no period, brain fog, and emotional chaos. If you’ve ever felt crazy because your body says something is wrong while your doctor shrugs, this one’s for you.

Functional Medicine vs “There’s a Pill for That” (85)

Tue, 31 Mar 2026 04:00:00 -0400

This episode starts with a question I’ve been asking myself for a while: what if the real problem isn’t just your symptoms, but the way they’re being treated? I sit down with Dr. Kevin Smith, a chiropractor and functional medicine practitioner from the Pittsburgh area, to talk about what happens when you stop settling for “here’s a pill” and start digging into why your body is breaking down.

Dr. Smith walks me through how he went from treating back and neck pain to dealing with “weird, mysterious problems” that chiropractic alone couldn’t solve, which pushed him into clinical nutrition, functional blood chemistry, and deeper lab work. He explains, in very straightforward terms, the difference between allopathic care that manages symptoms and functional medicine that looks for hidden root causes behind high blood pressure, thyroid disease, gut issues, chronic fatigue, and more. We also talk about the reality of short primary care visits, the constant “come back later” cycle, and why managing is not the same as curing.

GLP-1 Warning: What Telehealth Isn’t Telling You (EP 77)

Sun, 08 Mar 2026 05:00:00 -0400

Tired of trying to decode health headlines and influencer advice on your own? In this Straight Shooting Health Newscast, Uncle Marv walks you through the latest stories shaping your health—from FDA warning letters about compounded GLP‑1 weight loss drugs sold through telehealth, to a new HHS‑backed push for more nutrition education in medical schools. He digs into falling public trust in agencies like the CDC, FDA, and NIH, explains why people still lean on their personal doctors, and shares how to find credible medical information when the noise gets loud. You’ll also hear why AI chatbots can backfire for people with serious mental health conditions, what a GRAS loophole means for hidden food chemicals, and how biological age, keto, and exercise tie into brain health and blood sugar.

Right Where You’re Supposed To Be

Fri, 13 Feb 2026 05:00:00 -0400

Nancy shares how her marriage, subsequent divorce, and her grandmother’s final days in hospice forced her to confront unhealthy coping, heavy drinking, and the fear of repeating childhood patterns in front of her kids. She talks about her grandmother’s journey from an unschooled girl in El Salvador to a beloved businesswoman and community anchor, and how those roots inspired Nancy to use her voice and multiply the blessings she was given. They also touch on the power of being still (with a nod to Psalms 46:10), the mental side of letting loved ones go, and the quiet suffering that comes from staying in situations just to protect the status quo.

Takeaways:

Painful seasons (like divorce and grief) can position you to show up more fully for the people who need you most.
You may only recognize you were “right where you were supposed to be” after the storm has passed.
Staying in a relationship, job, or role just to protect others’ feelings can lead to silent suffering for everyone involved.
Unhealthy coping—like heavy drinking—can be a signal that your life feels out of control and something deeper needs to change.
Asking “What am I avoiding?” can reveal the exact things keeping you stuck in the wrong situation.
Families sometimes need to give loved ones permission to let go at the end of life so they don’t suffer longer than necessary.
Being still—rather than constantly distracting yourself—creates space to see what’s really important now.

Running From Grief to Healing

Wed, 11 Feb 2026 05:00:00 -0400

Nancy shares how being a single mom, starting a business, and caring for her sick grandmother forced her to ask, “What matters most right now?” and to choose capacity over hustle for the sake of her mental health and nervous system. Marv offers his own framework from a Lou Holtz story—WIN: “What’s Important Now”—and explains how that guides his choices when work collides with caring for his mom and other family responsibilities. The conversation becomes a real-time example of prioritizing stress management, emotional health, and boundaries over non-stop productivity.

Takeaways

You can’t take care of everyone else if you never put your own “oxygen mask” on first.
It’s okay—and sometimes necessary—to step back from business growth and focus on survival and capacity.
“What’s Important Now” is a powerful filter for making decisions when work and family collide.
Listening to your body when it demands rest is a crucial health habit.
Unresolved grief and fear of loss can keep you stuck in unhealthy partnerships and coping strategies.
It’s possible to look back on hard decisions without regret, recognizing that you did the best you could with what you knew.
Part of healing is growing your capacity to hold more without collapsing—emotionally, mentally, and spiritually.

Struggling to Feel at Home? Build Your Own Community

Tue, 03 Feb 2026 05:00:00 -0400

This episode centers on how connection and community shape both workplace culture and personal wellbeing. Lori Saitz shares how she helps companies use internal podcasts to improve communication and build culture, while also telling her story of moving from digital nomad life to creating a grounded, community-focused life in Charlotte. Gratitude, intentional relationships, and honest storytelling run through the whole conversation, from leadership communication to personal health.

Top Takeaways

Internal podcasts act as a modern replacement for company newsletters and sporadic town halls, giving leaders a direct, human way to communicate with employees.
Lori’s “core four” focus—culture, communication, connection, and community—guides short, weekly 15‑minute internal episodes that employees can easily consume.
These internal shows are especially powerful for midsize companies and distributed teams (remote workers, people in trucks, manufacturing staff) who can’t always attend live meetings.
Gratitude and grounding practices can be woven into workplace content, helping people reset before or after stressful meetings and stay more centered.
Lori’s own shift from nomading to settling in Charlotte highlights the importance of intentionally building community and creating a “nest” for emotional health.
Relationships change as people grow; part of staying healthy and authentic is accepting when certain friendships are no longer aligned.
Social connection and a sense of purpose are major contributors to longevity and wellbeing, often outweighing purely nutritional or medical factors.

Your Gut, Your Age, Your Health (66)

Fri, 23 Jan 2026 05:00:00 -0400

Mon, 12 Jan 2026 05:00:00 -0400

Hear why happiness should come before diets, macros, or gym memberships.
Understand the difference between pleasure and purpose, and why purpose drives long-term well-being.
Learn seven research-backed happiness habits, from relationships to mindfulness.
Discover how small interactions beat doom scrolling for your mood and stress levels.

Debunking 5 Health Myths You Still Believe

Sat, 07 Jun 2025 18:46:22 -0400

Uncle Marv is back after a whirlwind of tech conferences and client moves, and he’s got a bone to pick with the most persistent health myths out there. In this episode, Marv takes on five big misconceptions that keep us from enjoying food and life—starting with the idea that you have to stop eating certain foods to lose weight. Spoiler: elimination diets are not the answer, and moderation is the real key. He also tackles the myth that organic foods are always healthier, referencing the “Dirty Dozen” and “Clean 15” lists to show that sometimes, organic is just more expensive, not more nutritious.

But wait—there’s more. Marv busts the myth that detoxes and cleanses are necessary for health, reminding us that our bodies are already expert detoxers. He challenges the notion that thin equals healthy, emphasizing that well-being is about so much more than body weight. And for anyone who’s ever felt guilty about late-night snacking, Marv sets the record straight: it’s what and how much you eat, not the time of day, that matters most. As a bonus, he touches on gluten-free diets, explaining why they’re only necessary for people with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity.

Uncle Marv's Health Update & Yuka App Review

Sun, 30 Jun 2024 22:28:09 -0400

Uncle Marv updates listeners on his weight loss journey, revealing he had gained more weight than his previous high of 234 lbs in March. However, he has since lost 10 lbs without major exercise or a specific program, likely due to changes in his eating habits.

He discusses the Yuka app, which he has been using to evaluate food choices for the past month. The app provides a rating system from 0-100, with green being good, orange being poor, and red being bad. The app also provides information on additives and nutrients in scanned foods.

Cauliflower Pizza: A Healthy Alternative?

Wed, 19 Jun 2024 12:00:00 -0400

Diana Feinstein, the founder of Max Pact Health, joins Uncle Marv to discuss his experience trying a cauliflower pizza crust. Marv admits he was initially skeptical but decided to give it a try after Diana sent him the recipe.

Instead of making the crust from scratch, Marv and his wife found a pre-made cauliflower crust at the store. They topped it with their favorite toppings, and Marv found it to be a tasty and healthier alternative to regular pizza.

Diana explains that cauliflower pizza crust is a staple in her clients' diets as it allows them to enjoy a beloved food like pizza while making a healthier choice. She emphasizes the importance of not restricting foods entirely but rather making gradual shifts towards better options.

Using the example of chips, Diana suggests replacing half the bag with a healthier option like hummus and carrots. This approach, known as the "science of behavioral change," involves creating new habits by slowly crowding out unhealthy behaviors with positive reinforcement.

Diana also mentions that cauliflower crust can be used for various bread-like products, such as calzones, flatbreads, and pita chips, providing versatility in incorporating healthier alternatives.

Key Takeaways

Cauliflower pizza crust is a healthier alternative to regular pizza crust.
Making small, sustainable dietary changes is more effective than complete restriction.
Gradually crowding out unhealthy behaviors with healthier options can lead to lasting change.
Cauliflower crust can be used for various bread-like products, adding versatility to healthier eating.

Microdosing 101: What is Microdosing and How Does it Work?

Thu, 30 May 2024 12:00:00 -0400

Uncle Marv kicks off by acknowledging his lack of knowledge about microdosing but openness to learn. Julie explains microdosing means taking tiny amounts of substances like psilocybin, cannabis or LSD - enough to provide benefits without cognitive impairment or losing control.

She shares how she initially tried microdosing psilocybin out of curiosity from a trusted friend who was investing in a microdosing company. After researching and combining it with her coaching skills, Julie started offering microdosing mentorship when she saw interest from sharing her experience online.

Julie differentiates microdosing from a full psychedelic dose, which causes cognitive distortion and an inability to operate machinery safely. With microdosing, you remain grounded in reality while experiencing reduced mental burdens like anxiety, depression and PTSD.

Key Takeaways:

Microdosing involves taking tiny, sub-perceptual amounts of psychedelics for benefits without impairment
It can help with mental health issues like anxiety, depression, PTSD and addiction
Combining microdosing with coaching/therapy can provide additional benefits
Start slow and have an intention/goal for your microdosing practice

What is Clean Eating?

Sat, 25 May 2024 18:01:40 -0400

Clean Eating Explained

Clean eating focuses on whole, minimally processed foods while avoiding artificial ingredients, preservatives, and refined sugars. The goal is to eat nutrient-dense foods as close to their natural form as possible. This could involve cutting out entire food groups like dairy or grains, but Marv plans to take a more balanced approach.

While some promote extreme versions, clean eating doesn't necessarily require eliminating entire food groups or only eating "pure" foods for significant health benefits. A balanced diet with a variety of whole and minimally processed foods can be sufficient.

Marv's Clean Eating Plan

Marv won't go to extremes but will choose foods he understands, with pronounceable ingredients. His plan includes:

Loading up on fruits, veggies, lean proteins, healthy fats
Choosing complex carbs like whole grains over refined grains
Avoiding sugars, sodium, unhealthy fats
Drinking more water, unsweetened tea instead of sugary beverages

He'll make simple swaps like veggie stir-fries over brown rice, baked salmon with roasted veggies, and turkey chili. For snacks, he'll have fresh fruits, veggies, hummus, and homemade trail mix.

Key Takeaways:

Clean eating focuses on whole, minimally processed foods
Avoid artificial ingredients, preservatives, refined sugars
Marv plans a balanced approach without cutting out food groups
Simple swaps like lean proteins, complex carbs, healthy fats
Potential benefits: better digestion, mood, weight, disease risk

Debunking Coffee Weight Loss Myths

Sun, 19 May 2024 20:38:31 -0400

Uncle Marv provides an update on his efforts to adopt a healthier lifestyle, including cutting out soda, incorporating organic foods, and trying to reduce sugar and creamer in his coffee.

He shares his experience with adding cacao powder to his coffee as a healthier alternative. However, after seeing numerous ads promoting "coffee tricks" and supplements for weight loss, Uncle Marv did extensive research but could not find any peer-reviewed scientific studies to back up these claims. He emphasizes that while coffee can provide a modest, temporary metabolism boost due to caffeine, sustainable weight loss requires a balanced diet and regular exercise. The cacao powder may have some benefits due to its antioxidants and fiber, but Uncle Marv is unsure if he will continue using it due to the taste.

Key Takeaways

Uncle Marv is making lifestyle changes like cutting out soda, eating more organic foods, and reducing sugar intake.
He has started grinding his own organic coffee beans and adding cacao powder instead of sugar and creamer.
Despite claims of "coffee tricks" for weight loss advertised online, Uncle Marv found no peer-reviewed scientific studies supporting these claims.
While coffee can provide a modest, temporary metabolism boost due to caffeine, sustainable weight loss requires a balanced diet and regular exercise.

Overcoming Imposter Syndrome: Nancy's Tattoo Transformation

Sat, 27 Apr 2024 18:29:21 -0400

Nancy shares that she got her first tattoo at the young age of 15, in a friend's garage, and continued getting more tattoos over the years, eventually covering around 40-50% of her body. She explains that the tattoos were a way for her to rebel against her parents' disapproval and to assert her identity, especially as a female business owner in a male-dominated industry.

As Nancy's career progressed, the tattoos became a defining part of her image and reputation, with Uncle Marv even dubbing her "the girl with a thousand tattoos." However, Nancy reveals that this was also a way to overcompensate for the imposter syndrome she felt, as she was often talked down to or made to feel like an outsider in the tech world. It was during a particularly difficult conference that Nancy decided to seek therapy, which helped her unpack the deeper roots of these feelings and work towards greater self-acceptance.

Key Takeaways:

Tattoos can be a form of self-expression and identity, but can also be a way to overcompensate for deeper insecurities
Imposter syndrome is a common challenge for underrepresented groups in male-dominated industries
Therapy can be a valuable tool in addressing the root causes of imposter syndrome and building self-esteem

Five Elements of a Successful Relationship Strategy - Part 2

Tue, 16 Apr 2024 01:54:11 -0400

In the previous episode, Emma and Uncle Marv discussed the first two elements of a successful relationship strategy: context/mindset and communication/alignment. In this continuation, they explore the remaining three elements.

The third element is Clarity and Dynamics, which addresses the repeating patterns and unresolved issues that couples often struggle with. Emma explains that these patterns are often rooted in past wounds and unfinished emotional business that get triggered in the present. By gaining clarity on the underlying drivers of these dynamics, couples can start to break the cycle and make lasting changes.

The fourth element is Connection and Intimacy. Emma emphasizes the importance of finding the right balance between togetherness and individuality in a relationship. Couples need to nurture their connection while also maintaining their own sense of self and independence. This can involve creating shared rituals, activities, and quality time together, as well as respecting each other's need for space and autonomy.

The fifth element is Collaboration and Partnership, where the couple actively collaborates to design the relationship they want. This involves setting shared goals, mapping out responsibilities, and regularly checking in to ensure both partners' needs are being met. Emma stresses that this process needs to be tailored to the unique preferences and lifestyles of each couple.

Key Takeaways:

Unresolved past wounds and emotional baggage often drive repeating negative patterns in relationships
Balancing connection and separateness is crucial for a healthy, thriving relationship
Couples should actively co-create the relationship they want through shared goal-setting and regular check-ins

Embracing the Nomadic Life with Lori Saitz

Sun, 07 Apr 2024 17:28:11 -0400

When Lori Seitz decided to swap her stable life for one on the road, she wasn't just shaking up her routine; she was completely reinventing her existence.

Uncle Marv and Lori begin by discussing Lori's podcast, "Fine is a Four-Letter Word," where they explore the idea that people often say they're "fine" when they're not. Lori explains that she decided to give up her apartment in Northern Virginia and embrace a nomadic lifestyle, primarily house-sitting for others, particularly cat owners. She cites the rising rent in her area and the recent loss of her own cats as the main factors that inspired this change.

Lori describes the fluidity of her schedule, as she books house-sitting gigs in different locations, often with gaps in between that require her to stay in hotels or Airbnbs. She acknowledges that this uncertainty can be challenging, as she has to research each potential accommodation to ensure it is clean, safe, and affordable. However, Lori views this as an adventure and an opportunity for growth, trusting that everything will work out as it's supposed to.

The conversation takes an interesting turn when Lori recounts a recent incident where her car experienced brake issues while she was driving in Wilmington, North Carolina. Despite the unexpected $1,900 repair bill, Lori maintains a positive outlook, focusing on the fact that the situation could have been much worse and that she was able to get the car fixed in time to make it to her next house-sitting gig. This leads to a discussion about the importance of cultivating gratitude, even in the face of challenges.

Key Takeaways:

Five Elements of a Successful Relationship Strategy - Part 1

Thu, 04 Apr 2024 03:28:03 -0400

Communication and Alignment in Relationships

Join me on a journey through the intricacies of relationship health and wellness with my esteemed guest, Emma Viglucci from Metropolitan Marriage and Family Therapy.

We open the conversation by acknowledging that even long-term relationships can experience challenges as the initial "honeymoon phase" fades and daily life takes over. Emma agrees, explaining that it's common for couples to stop investing the same level of effort into their relationship as they did early on. This can lead to a sense of disconnection and increased conflict if the relationship is not actively nurtured.

Emma shares that she started her private practice, Metropolitan Marriage and Family Therapy, in 2000 with a focus on working with busy professionals. She found that these individuals often struggle to maintain a healthy work-life balance, leading to strained relationships and neglect of personal needs.

Emma and I dissect the habits that can deteriorate a bond, emphasizing the transformative shift from 'me' to 'we' thinking and the indispensable roles of grace and understanding. Emma's goal is to help her clients re-prioritize their relationships and personal well-being amidst the demands of their careers.

When couples first seek Emma's help, they often report feeling disconnected, fighting frequently, and unsure if their relationship can be saved. Emma explains that her Successful Relationship Strategy addresses five key areas: communication, alignment, clarity and dynamics, connection and intimacy, and collaboration and partnership. By working through these elements, Emma helps her clients develop the tools and mindset to sustain a healthy, thriving relationship.

Gluten Free Living with Elikqitie - Part 1

Sat, 07 Oct 2023 23:17:53 -0400

Elikqitie has also written a book called "The Guide to Traveling Gluten Free". The book provides information on how to find safe, gluten-free food options while traveling. Elikqitie has traveled to over 18 countries with Celiac disease and shares her experiences on her Instagram page and podcast.

Gluten is a protein found in wheat, triticale, barley, spelt, and a few other grains. To be gluten-free means not eating anything that has the gluten protein in it. The wheat we eat today contains 20 times more gluten than the wheat we used to eat, which can trigger autoimmune diseases like celiac disease.

The Travel Gluten Free Podcast is a podcast that provides practical information on how to travel gluten-free safely and enjoyably.

Preparing for Love (Calling in the One, Week 1)

Sun, 01 Oct 2023 21:32:56 -0400

Calling in "The One" is a 7-week program that helps individuals manifest the life they truly want and desire. The program includes seven lessons in week one, starting with expanding capacity and ending with preparing your home or space for love. One of the exercises in week one is to imagine being with your beloved and how it feels like, tastes like, and all the emotions that come with it. The program is focused on self-discovery and understanding oneself to attract the right partner.

The first lesson that we explore in this episode is about expanding your capacity to love and be loved. It's mainly understanding what the intimate relationship means to you today. We highlight the importance of understanding our needs for companionship and creating authentic relationships by embracing our beauty, failures, and flaws. Coach Elle shares her insights on how to complete your past, providing advice and exercises to create meaningful relationships based on trust and understanding.

We also explore the importance of self-reflection to create a balanced, fulfilling relationship. Understanding our own needs and emotions is key. We discuss how to be honest with ourselves when exploring our needs and how to set intentions for our ideal partner. We also explore the idea that while we may not need somebody else, we still should recognize the importance of honoring our needs for others.
