This epsiode is brought ot you by Quickbooks , Audible and Caldera Lab. What if the most important financial decision you ever make has nothing to do with investing, real estate, or your career—but who you choose as your partner? In this powerful episode of Ever Forward Radio , Chase sits down with attorney, financial expert, and author Pattie Ehsaie for a no-nonsense conversation about money, power, relationships, and financial independence—especially for women. Pattie breaks down why "never falling in love with potential" isn't cold, it's practical; why money remains the number one cause of relationship failure; and how financial independence is not about greed, but freedom. Drawing from her own journey as an immigrant, lawyer, and self-made financial authority, Pattie shares hard truths about hustle, mindset, modern dating dynamics, the "lonely male epidemic," stealth wealth, prenups, and why owning your financial future is the ultimate form of personal sovereignty.

This episode is brought to you by Joi & Blokes , Troscriptions , and Caldera Lab. In this episode of Ever Forward Radio, registered dietitian Ashley Koff, RD breaks down the truth behind GLP-1 medications like Ozempic and Wegovy, reframing them not as magic weight-loss shots but as hormone replacement therapies that reveal how dysfunctional most people's "weight-health hormones" have become. Ashley shares how digestion, nutrient status, genetics, and modern environmental pressures diminish the body's natural ability to regulate appetite, cravings, metabolism, and fat distribution — and why GLP-1 drugs can offer clarity but not a cure unless the underlying issues are addressed. She dives into muscle preservation, the limitations of BMI, the importance of fat-mass vs. scale weight, the root-cause approach to sustainable weight health, and what the future of GLP-1s means for generational wellness. This is a powerful conversation that blends science, personal insight, and actionable strategies to improve metabolic health — with or without medication.

This episode is brought to you by Comrad Socks , Legacy , and LMNT. What is the purpose of life? Does science have any claim to this question? For generations, many have concluded that evolution implies there is no overarching purpose to our existence. Life has no fundamental meaning. We are merely the accumulation of tens of thousands of intricate molecular accidents. Some scientists take this logic one step further: "The fact of evolution is … inherently atheistic… It goes against the notion that there is a God." But is this true? By integrating emerging principles from a variety of scientific disciplines—ranging from evolutionary biology to psychology—Yale Professor Samuel Wilkinson provides a framework of evolution that implies not only that there is an overarching purpose to our existence, but what this purpose is. Closely related to purpose is meaning . What is the meaning of life? Based on the scientific data, it would seem that one such meaning is to develop deep and abiding relationships. At least that's what most people report are the most meaningful aspects of their lives. And our relationships that are most meaningful are those with our families, those with whom we share our genes. This is a function of our evolution. It is how we were created. Follow Chase @chase_chewning ----- In this episode we discuss...

This episode is brought to you by BUBS Naturals and Audible . I sat down in-studio with Gina Moffa, LCSW, a grief and trauma therapist and author, to explore the tumultuous landscape of grief—a journey that tests the resilience of our nervous system and thrusts us into the survival mode of the 'grief fall.' Gina shares her insights on the physical and emotional upheavals that come with significant loss, from the shock of a terminal diagnosis to the sudden absence left by a loved one's death. As we peel back the layers of our grief responses, we touch upon the unpredictability of personal reactions, and the complex process of enduring a human wound that fundamentally alters the fabric of our existence. Gina and I also shed light on the societal pressures and myths surrounding grief, such as the notion of a 'normal' timeline for healing. She highlights the often overlooked aspect of grief's individuality, mentioning that the path to resilience is not paved with familiarity but with personal significance. We challenge the expectations placed on those grieving to quickly resume their roles in a productivity-driven world and emphasize the importance of honoring the unique rhythms of our emotional recovery. Wrapping up, we delve into the ongoing nature of grief and the importance of self-compassion as we navigate its enduring waves. Gina provides comfort and understanding for those who fear regression and reminds us that moments of overwhelming emotion are not setbacks but a natural part of the grieving process. Join us as we discuss the significance of self-care, the courage to face grief's unpredictability, and the recognition that healing is not linear but a continual evolution alongside our losses.

Join me and my esteemed guest, Dr. Charles Brenner, PhD for a fascinating journey through the science of aging and longevity, where we explore the complexities and truths behind what it really means to age gracefully. We challenge the notion that aging is a disease and instead discuss practical strategies for maintaining our vitality—physically, mentally, and emotionally. As we debunk myths like the exaggerated benefits of resveratrol, listen in as we emphasize evidence-based insights and dismantle the disparity between scientific facts and the marketing of anti-aging remedies. Venturing into the realm of genetics, our conversation turns to the role of sirtuins and other genes that have sparked interest in the longevity market. Both initial hype and subsequent rigorous research may temper expectations, but it reminds us of the nuanced relationship between genetic research and its implications on human aging. Moreover, we examine the essential role of NAD in metabolism and how factors like alcohol consumption can compromise this crucial coenzyme system, affecting our health and aging process. Wrapping up, we shift our focus to practical lifestyle choices that can optimize health, such as the balance of diet and exercise, and the role of GLP-1 drugs in weight management. We highlight the impact of NAD and its precursors like NR on cellular health and DNA repair, offering insights into their supplementation and clinical applications.

This episode is brought to you by Strong Coffee Company and LMNT. Navigating the world of health and fitness can be a daunting task, especially with the barrage of sensationalized social media content clouding our judgment. But here's the game-changer: it's all about going back to basics. Hydration, nutrition, and sleep – the triumvirate of good health. Join me and Adam Bornstein, author of "You Can't Screw This Up," as we discuss the importance of cultivating situational awareness and avoiding self-sabotage. You will hear Adam's unfiltered insights on building sustainable habits instead of chasing the next big thing or quick fixes. We'll also delve into the world of Adam's writings and his journey as an author and consultant to legends like LeBron James and Arnold Schwarzenegger! Get ready to prioritize practicality, sustainability, and balance on your health and fitness journey. Adam and I also discuss how mindset can power us through life's hurdles, how can we turn adversity into fuel for personal growth, and even share heartbreaking yet empowering stories of loss and resilience. Listen in and discover how a strong mindset can shape positive behaviors in health, nutrition, and fitness, helping individuals thrive in any circumstance. Follow Adam @bornfitness Follow Chase @chase_chewning ----- In this episode, you will learn... Why a strong mindset is essential for overcoming adversity and maintaining health, nutrition, and fitness habits. How our behaviors are often shaped by our mindset and self-perception, which are crucial for long-term health and success. Instead of focusing on extreme measures, prioritize practical and sustainable habits for a balanced lifestyle. Sleep, hydration, and nutrition are fundamental to maintaining good health, but often overlooked due to sensationalized social media content. Embracing failure can help us anticipate and navigate self-sabotage, leading to more successful health and fitness plans. The concept of inversion can help us build successful plans by starting from potential failures and working backwards. It's crucial to understand our individual preferences and lifestyles before choosing a health or fitness plan. Adherence to a plan is more important than the plan itself, emphasizing the importance of personalization in health and fitness. Building self-awareness and understanding where you might fail can help you identify plans that are more likely to work. Striving to be "so good they can't ignore you" is a powerful mindset that can lead to personal and professional success. ----- Episode resources: Learn more about Strong New York Watch and subscribe on YouTube Get your LMNT hot electrolyte drink mix at https://www.DrinkLMNT.com/everforward Save 15% on organic lattes and coffee with code CHASE at https://www.StrongCoffeeCompany.com

This episode introduces alternative methods for recovery, focusing on red light therapy, a.k.a. photobiomodulation. Guest Forrest Smith of Kineon Labs explains their benefits for athletic performance, reduction of recovery time, minimizing inflammation and even unique applications for gut health, brain health, and improving sleep. Follow Kineon @kineon_labs Follow Chase @chase_chewning ----- In this episode, you will learn... Over-the-counter drugs such as NSAIDs, often used in sports and fitness, can carry significant risks including cardiovascular disease, liver damage, stomach ulcers, and a decrease in neuroplasticity. Photobiomodulation devices can provide a safer and more effective alternative to pharmaceuticals for enhancing athletic performance and recovery, reducing inflammation, and improving metabolic health. Regular, deep sleep is vital in the recovery process and can protect the brain from the buildup of waste materials. Understanding the biochemical and physiological processes behind performance and recovery can help identify and address the root causes of issues. Nitric oxide plays a critical role in the body, helping with blood vessel dilation and delivering more blood to muscles. However, as people age, the production of nitric oxide decreases, making it important to find ways to stimulate its production. Chronic inflammation is highly damaging to the body, impacting everything from muscle performance to cardiovascular health. ----- Episode resources: Learn more about Kineon Labs Light therapy for bipolar disorder: a case series in women The impact of wavelengths of LED light-therapy on endothelial cells Red Light Therapy Improves Reaction Time in Athletes Watch and subscribe on YouTube

Prepare for a journey to a time when an ancient species co-existed with Homo sapiens. My esteemed guest, Dr. Lee Berger - one of Time Magazine's 100 most influential people of the year - and I will take you deep into the heart of this captivating past. We will navigate the uncharted waters of human evolution, guided by the discovery of Homo Naledi , a discovery that challenges our very notion of what it means to be human. Follow Lee @thefossilvault Follow Chase @chase_chewning ----- In this episode, you will learn... Dr. Lee Berger's discovery of Homo Naledi, a new species in human evolution, drastically challenges traditional understandings of human evolution. The species exhibited complex cultural practices such as mortuary rituals and engraving symbols, pushing the limits of our understanding of non-human culture. The Homo Naledi species co-existed with Homo sapiens hundreds of thousands of years ago. The discovery contradicts the previous narrative that Homo sapiens were the only species in Africa, leading to a reevaluation of our assumptions in the field of archaeology and human evolution. The Homo Naledi species was found in extremely difficult-to-reach caves, showcasing the complexity and extent of their behaviors. The very use of these caves for their cultural practices, combined with the discovery of symbols, fires, and tools, suggests a higher level of intelligence and complexity than previously assumed for non-human species. The discovery of Homo Naledi had a profound personal impact on Dr. Berger. Not only did it challenge his understanding of human evolution, but it also put his life at risk during the exploration process. ----- Episode resources: Enroll in the 2024 Ever Forward Mentorship Learn more about Cave of Bones book and the documentary-series on Netflix

Today, I sit down with psychologist Dr. Benjamin Hardy, PhD who challenges us to reimagine our perception of time and how it influences our growth. We cover everything from the power of psychological flexibility, goal setting, and productivity, to the intriguing theory of the future dictating the present and the present shaping our past. Follow Dr. Benjamin Hardy @drbenjaminhardy Follow Chase @chase_chewning ----- In this episode, you will learn... The Power of Perception: One of the key takeaways from the podcast is understanding how our perception of time influences our personal growth. Dr. Hardy suggests that our future should dictate our present and our present should shape our past.

Enter Mike Diamond, an inspiring recovering addict, is here to unearth the realities of addiction and the illusion of control it creates, even amidst an extraordinary performance. Mike's story is a true testament to the deceptive nature of addiction and the power of choice to take control of your life. Mike dives into themes of personal growth, self-discovery, and the significance of embracing the present. Even touching upon spiritual and philosophical tools like Buddhism and stoicism to find balance, and the impact of physical activities like deep stretching and yoga to channel the energy of trauma into healthier outlets.

With the insights from this episode, you will be better equipped to understand, empathize, and perhaps help someone who's battling their demons, or perhaps, fight your own. Follow Mike @themike_diamond Follow Chase @chase_chewning ---- In this episode, you will learn... Addiction can often be disguised behind high performance, leading to a dangerous illusion of control. Individuals struggling with addiction can often still perform at high levels, making it difficult to recognize. The importance of self-discovery and healing in overcoming addiction cannot be overstated. This process often involves facing uncomfortable past experiences and finding healthier ways to channel energy and cope with trauma. The power of small, meaningful interactions and acts of kindness can have a profound impact on your life and the lives of others. Creatives, artists, and entrepreneurs can be particularly prone to addiction. Understanding this can help in identifying potential issues and finding balance in life.

This episode is brought to you by Cured Nutrition and Legacy. What is consciousness? What is God? Who are we? What is our purpose? How do we truly heal? Prepare to navigate the mysteries of our minds and beyond with esteemed guest and personal friend, Dr. Randy Scharlach, MD. In this episode, we dissect the inner workings of our identities, emotions, and perception of life and death. Our conversation takes us from the modern science of consciousness to the ancient traditions and practices that allow us to access the divine. With Randy's unique medical experiences, we venture into the transformative world of psychedelic medicines, their profound influence on our understanding of the world, and quantum theory's significant implications on our perception of consciousness. Randy also shares his experiences as an oncologist and as a psychedelic practitioner in dealing with trauma and loss. Join us as we discuss the future of consciousness exploration! Follow Chase on Instagram @chase_chewning ----- In this episode, you will learn... Consciousness is a complex, multidimensional concept that is intricately linked to our identities, emotions, and perception of life and death. Understanding consciousness can be a lifelong journey, but can also lead to profound personal transformation. Quantum theories suggest that our perceived physical reality might be an illusion, with the true fundamental reality being a field of consciousness that permeates the universe. The exploration of consciousness through psychedelic medicines can provide unique insights and transformative experiences. These altered states of consciousness can help individuals connect with their inner selves and can even help in transforming trauma into spiritual growth. The division between science and religion, often referred to as the Cartesian split, has led to resistance in the scientific community to ideas of consciousness as a fundamental reality. The concept of God in the context of consciousness can be interpreted as the entirety of the universe, and our individual consciousness is a part of this universal consciousness, suggesting that our individual experiences are a way for this universal consciousness, or God , to experience the world. ----- Episode resources: Save 20% on my favorite functional mushroom, adaptogen, and CBD products with code EVERFORWARD at https://www.CuredNutrition.com Save $20 on the For Today at-home male fertility test kit with code EVERFORWARD at https://testlegacy.com/everforward Get The Immortality Key hardcopy book here or the audiobook for FREE at https://www.AudibleTrial.com/everforward After Skool video Watch and subscribe on YouTube

"How do I keep promises I make to myself?" This is a question I get asked a lot, and it's one that all of us can benefit from knowing the answer to. The ability to make and keep promises directly impacts our level of success in everything we do—whether it's a promise to go to the gym regularly or stick to a diet, to double down on a side hustle or a relationship, or to follow through on writing a book or starting a podcast. Listen in as I talk about the common reasons we don't stick to our own promises, and why we shouldn't beat ourselves up when we fail to meet our own standards. I also share four powerful tips for making better promises and seeing them through to fruition! Follow Chase @chase_chewning Key Highlights The word "promise" can be used as either a noun or a verb. As a noun, a promise is "a declaration or assurance that one will do a particular thing, or that a particular thing will happen." As a verb, when you promise something, you "undertake or declare that something will happen," or "give good grounds for expecting a particular occurrence or situation." Promises can quickly become too strict a commitment that holds too much emotionally-negative weight when not kept. If you're constantly beating yourself up over broken promises, try changing your definition of "promise" from that of a noun to a verb. That means committing to the path rather than the destination. It means committing to the pursuit of the goal: the process, baby steps, and small wins required to accomplish what you set out to do. We know that we can keep getting away with broken promises when the only person we're accountable to is ourselves. Take the pressure off of yourself by sharing your commitments with people you're comfortable confiding in. This not only helps you grow your sphere of accountability beyond yourself, but it also allows you to gain precious feedback from those you trust. Lean into positive reinforcement. Reward yourself only for promises you actually keep, and dismiss the promises you fail to keep. When you assign feelings of happiness, contentment, and fulfillment to small kept promises, you're more likely to follow through with larger promises.

Chase here! In this solo episode, I'm breaking down why I started testosterone replacement therapy a year ago. I share my results almost 15 months later and why I've decided to stop. If you've followed my TRT journey on social media, you've seen my dosages, you've seen how I've changed physically, and you've seen how my numbers have gone up at the gym. But there's a lot that I haven't shared yet. I haven't shared how I've administered my dosages, nor the side effects I've experienced. Listen in as I come clean about my testosterone replacement therapy journey, from why I started in the first place, to specifics regarding my labs and personal regimen, and why my journey is coming to an end. Follow me on Instagram @chase_chewning Key Highlights I was determined to enter my 37th birthday in October 2022 as the best me possible. I didn't just want to look at my best. I wanted to feel at my best. I was no slouch at 36. I was doing great physically, and I felt it. But I knew there was room for fine-tuning. I became more regimented, both inside and outside the gym, but being in my mid-30s, I began to struggle with keeping up that level of motivation. Not to mention it was tough to maintain my body composition despite my increased efforts. This was why I decided to explore TRT to provide that edge. If you're considering TRT, the very first thing you should do is check in with yourself. Do a head-to-toe scan and be as objective as you can, and even a little critical, about what you see and feel. Get clear on what you want out of your day and out of your training. Compare those ideals with your current day-to-day realities. Always keep in mind that TRT is not a quick fix—not that you should ever pursue anything because it's a quick fix anyway! I ultimately decided to stop testosterone replacement therapy for two reasons. The first was that I experienced skin issues that slightly impacted my social life. Secondly, even though TRT did not negatively impact my sexual activity, I've recently decided to prioritize my fertility health over my muscle mass. These two reasons are why, after 14 months, I've begun to titrate down and eventually go off TRT completely.

I recently sat down with Eli Weinstein to share my decades-long journey to discovering and embracing the real Chase Chewning! It's a journey that reached its critical point when I turned 35 during the COVID outbreak in 2020. Like everyone else, my world was flipped on its head, and I'd started questioning deep-seated beliefs I'd held all my life. My goal? To rid myself of the beliefs that didn't serve me and replace them with beliefs that do. The one question that I always asked myself, whether or not I was conscious of it, was: "Do I feel safe?" And ultimately, that boiled down to yet another question: "Am I loved?" And if I felt no safety or love at any moment—in holding onto a given belief, in interacting with a certain individual, in inhabiting a particular room—then I gained the clarity and the courage to climb over those walls that kept me in and found my freedom. Eli and I give our thoughts on the process of living an intentional life with a full commitment to oneself, from setting healthy boundaries, to avoiding a life lived in fear of other people's opinions, to the true meaning of living life ever forward. Follow me on Instagram @chase_chewning Follow me on TikTok @chase_chewning Key Highlights We take a lot of our beliefs for granted, mainly because we lived our whole lives up to this point assuming they were fundamental "truths". But if we really sit down and think about those beliefs, we can determine which of them serve us and which of them are nothing more than destructive forces that impede our growth. When we find ourselves needing to walk away from someone in our life who no longer supports our mental or emotional health, we need to fall back on our boundaries. It's easier said than done to create strong, healthy boundaries, but we need them in order to stay in a constant state of safety, security, and love. We fall into selfishness when we rely on others to dictate our moral compass. This can be as serious as having our values shaped by other people or as insignificant as wearing certain clothes to avoid being judged in a certain way by those around us. Living life "ever forward" comes down to sharing lessons learned from significant, often difficult, life experiences with others, whether through conversations or creating content or even monetizing those lessons through a product.

The one and only Sam Visnic is back to talk about using hypnotherapy to heal your physical health, gut health, and even IBS and chronic pain.

Sam Visnic is a Certified Massage Therapist specializing in neuromuscular and clinical massage, as well as a Certified Corrective Exercise Therapist. He's also the host of Who Knows This?? Podcast. Follow Sam Visnic @releasemuscletherapy Follow Chase on Instagram @chase_chewning Key Highlights What is hypnotherapy? Hypnotherapy is a therapeutic practice that uses guided hypnosis to help a client reach a transcendent-like state of focus, concentration, diminished peripheral awareness, and heightened suggestability. Sam explains how hypnotherapy and sensory-based focus can be used in therapeutic processes to reconstruct our internal experience. He notes the similarities and differences between hypnotherapy, meditation, and mindfulness. The world is so stimulating that many of us have realized we're not as relaxed as we think we are. That's why people feel loopy and out of it after their first hypnotherapy session - it's because they're actually relaxed and they've forgotten what that feels like. Once you build that awareness, you can begin cultivating more of that in your life. Sam describes how creating deep change isn't harder than creating simple change… it just requires a different set of skills. Resilience is one of the best skills you can develop to create change, maintain momentum, and accomplish your goals. People are using hypnotherapy to change the gut microbiome, improve gut health, and even heal IBS. How? Does hypnotherapy work just as well as the FODMAP diet? Tune in to find out! Lastly, Sam highlights the benefits of hypnotherapy in treating chronic pain.

Humble the Poet goes deep about all things self-love, romantic love, overcoming societal pressures, and the true value of self-awareness and vulnerability. He highlights a few concepts from his new book, "How to Be Love(d): Simple Truths for Going Easier on Yourself, Embracing Imperfection, & Loving Your Way to a Better Life". We all want a better, easier life, and we all want love. We all want to love and be loved… but what stops us from experiencing that and how can we create more pathways for love to enter our lives? That's what we're exploring in this episode. Humble the Poet (Kanwer Mahl) is a Canadian-born artist, rapper, spoken-word poet, international best-selling author, and former elementary school teacher with a wildly popular blog with over 100,000 monthly readers. He is the author of "Unlearn", "Things No One Else Can Teach Us", and most recently, "How to Be Love(d)". Follow Humble the Poet @humblethepoet Follow Chase on Instagram @chase_chewning Follow him on Twitter @chasechewning Key Highlights Humble the Poet sheds light on his upbringing as a child of immigrants, from the fomo of celebrating holidays to the subtle awards for Americanizing yourself. What is society? What is society trying to pressure you to do? When you reflect on that, you begin to see the distinction between reward and punishment, needs and wants, truth and falsehoods. Why is it so hard to find love or to keep love? If you find yourself thinking that in a relationship, ask yourself: is this actually love? Love should not be demanding anything of you, other than honesty and presence. Humble shares the meaning behind his quote: "Love is the breeze, the work that we have to do is to open the sail." Vulnerability is the key that unlocks love in all forms. If you don't have love in your life, maybe your sail is just closed. How is vulnerability different than honesty? Tune in to hear Humble's answer! Humble describes why we should abandon the concept of good and bad. We're more in control of our relationship with ourselves. If we were kinder on ourselves, it'd be easier to be kinder to others. One of the biggest mistakes we make with love is measuring its value through a timeline. Love doesn't have a timeline. To Humble, it's all about creating pathways of love.

Meet the Zenchronicity Sisters as they shine light on the power of psychedelic medicine, soul work, and the dire need for a mental health revolution in America. Together, they break down the benefits of using psychedelics and how you can achieve the same mental health benefits without them. Change is inevitable when we choose to work on ourselves. Whether it's through mind work, body work, emotional work, or soul work, you're never going to be the same person you went in as. Isn't that such a freeing concept?

Intention and integration are the keys to receiving and retaining the benefits of psychedelic experiences. Should everybody do psychedelics? Who shouldn't take psychedelics? If you don't immediately find meaning in your psychedelic experience, don't try to force meaning. It may come to you days, weeks, or even months later. "When you just surrender and let go, 99% of life shows up for you, and that's integration." Why is it so hard for us to surrender and let go? The answer lies in our divine masculine and feminine.

Stefan Falk shares his secrets to loving your work and succeeding like never before. He teaches you how to gain intrinsic motivation, overcome procrastination, and improve concentration so you can learn skills faster, sustain high levels of work satisfaction, and work towards any dream or goal you have. We've all experienced lack of motivation or dissatisfaction with work at some point in our life. It's common for people to feel like their work is boring, uninteresting, difficult, or uncomfortable, yet we continue to stay in those jobs. This begs the question: Do we need to love our work in order to have a good, successful life? If you're struggling to find motivation from within or find enjoyment in your work, this episode is for you.

Stefan Falk is an internationally-recognized performance coach who helps people achieve things they don't think they're capable of. He's also the author of "Intrinsic Motivation: How to Love Your Work and Succeed as Never Before".

Benjamin and Azrya Bequer shed light on how emotional intelligence, mirroring, and spiritual integration can help you elevate your relationships and co-create a healthier, more beautiful world. They offer sage advice on communicating to your partner during difficult times and their favorite tool for finding growth in the paradoxes of life. If you're ready to surrender to growth and self-love, this episode will help you do that. Benjamin "Bee" Bequer and Azrya Bequer are the co-founding stewards of BEQOMING, a platform dedicated to providing the future stewards of society with the emotional intelligence tools to elevate humanity and co-create a more beautiful world. Bee and Azrya are also the co-authors of "BEQOMING: Everything You Didn't Know You Wanted". Follow Bee and Azrya Bequer @beqoming Follow Chase on Instagram @chase_chewning Follow him on Twitter @chasechewning Key Highlights Our education system, and our society as a whole, lacks an emphasis on emotional intelligence. This boils down to an inability to be in relationship with ourselves. Bee and Azrya shed light on their use of plant medicine early into their relationship during a time of doubt, fear, and insecurity. They describe the powerful concept of mirroring in relationships - how mirroring shows us our true selves and what we need to work on within ourselves. If we are in an awakening, what are we awakening to? Are we headed in the right direction? Tune in to hear their thoughts! What does it take to truly "surrender"? Can plant medicine help me surrender? "I don't know if you can truly surrender if you don't have an established relationship with something greater than yourself," Azrya says. "What's important is that you can feel the relationship with it. It's not just a concept… it's actually a felt experience." Every version of ourselves, those that we love and those that we've hated, is still inside of us today. Loving all those versions and embracing the contrast within yourself and your partner is a practice of self-love and integration. How can I communicate to my partner that their pain/struggle is not serving me or our relationship? Listen in to hear Bee and Azrya's candid advice!

He explains how to reduce your anxiety and uncertainty around pain, so you can make conscious decisions for how to approach pain management and/or treatment.

This can hinder your adherence, quality of care, and outcomes. Listen in to learn how to best explain your experience and goals to your providers and ask the right questions so you can get the best outcomes and enjoy the process. Navigating the financial aspect of pain management: Should we rethink financial pain in order to alleviate another type of pain?

We can't manage pain, reach our health goals, or feel grateful for our progress all on our own. "The belief that we don't need help robs us of our ability to be grateful," Sean says.

Neurophysiologist and brain coach, Louisa Nicola, is back to talk about how to optimize brain health and performance with exercise. Louisa sheds light on why exercise is so important for brain function, the best form of exercise for the brain, and how to take control over your brain health to prevent stroke, cardiovascular disease, and Alzheimer's disease. If there's one episode that will persuade the most sedentary person to finally prioritize exercise in their life, it's this one. Louisa shares some incredible facts about the brain, disease, and exercise that will make you less scared of disease and more empowered to take care of your body. Louisa Nicola is a neurophysiologist, brain coach to elite athletes, and Founder of Neuro Athletics, a full-service neuroscience diagnostic testing company. Follow Louisa Nicola @louisanicola_ Follow Chase on Instagram @chase_chewning Follow him on Twitter @chasechewning Key Highlights To optimize your performance at work and consistently operate at your best, you need to think of yourself as an athlete. An athlete bases their life on the tactics of their sport (their job), the technical side, the sports psychology side, nutrition, and strength. "If you base your life on those pillars, the ROI is exponential," Louisa says. What does neuroscience currently say about the benefits of exercise on brain health? Louisa explains the difference between exercise and physical activity, noting why resistance training is better for the brain than aerobics. She details a study that shows a reversal in mild cognitive impairment (pre-dementia) from just six months of exercise alone. You are in control of your brain health. Lifestyle interventions give you the control over developing/preventing stroke, cardiovascular disease, and Alzheimer's disease. Start to assess yourself. The #1 thing that is controllable, yet can collapse the capillaries in your brain, is consistent high blood pressure (hypertension), which can decrease brain function. Do you check your blood pressure regularly? Louisa shares why she's so intrigued by vascular health right now and the crucial role your veins play in brain health.

Chase recently sat down with Michael Chernow on the Kreatures Of Habit Podcast to discuss the hidden benefits of walking, one thing that radically improves sleep health, and why you must make YOURSELF your number one priority. They speak on creating a foundation for your life built on discipline and fortified by daily habits, as a way to prevent your days from becoming aimless and filled with regret. He and Michael ended up diving so deep into the importance of forming healthy physical and mental habits, that they wound up having to split their conversation into two episodes! If you enjoyed this discussion, make sure you don't miss part 2, in which the pair give their thoughts on what it means to be a modern man. Follow Michael @michaelchernow Follow me @chase_chewning Key Highlights It's easy to take for granted the holistic impact of walking. Says Chase: "One can maintain a certain body weight, body composition, sanity, mental health [...] just from moving our two feet all day." Before adding on another new supplement in your morning routine, it's important to check in with yourself first and assess how you feel. If you're feeling sharp, energetic, and ready to tackle the day, you won't need anything extra. "If you're looking for one thing you can do right now to radically improve your sleep health," says Chase, "wear an eye mask!" It's not selfish to be your number one priority. In fact, it's actually selfless to ensure you grow to be the best person you can be. Without a strong foundation, you'll start your days without aim and end them with regret. The foundation you need is discipline, which can only be built through a series of daily habits that keep both the mind and body in shape.

Today we are joined by Dr. Mark Horowitz, a clinical research fellow in psychiatry and Co-Founder of Outro Health, an online clinic providing specialized support for those who want to safely stop using psychiatric drugs. Join us as we explore the deprescribing movement and discuss how to take charge of your mental health by making informed decisions with your healthcare providers. With Dr. Horowitz's expertise and personal experience, you'll learn about the benefits of deprescribing and gain valuable insights on how to feel empowered throughout your mental health journey. Tune in now to start your journey towards a happier, healthier you! Key Highlights "A part of medicine, not just psychiatry, should be using medications or interventions such that the benefits outweigh the harms, and if that changes, then the medication should be stopped," Mark says. Most people (even doctors) have been told and believe that depression is caused by a chemical imbalance in the brain. If you believe that, why would you stop a medication? Mark shares his research on depression and serotonin, and tells us why mental illness is not all about the chemicals in our brain, but about our lives as a whole. 95% of studies on drugs are funded by the manufacturers of those drugs. "They clearly have an interest in studies that show when to start drugs and much less of an interest in when to stop drugs," Mark says. How much of this is in our control as patients? How do we make sure we're receiving the best care from our healthcare providers? Tune in to hear Mark's candid answers! Surprisingly, the place Mark received the most useful advice on safely stopping/weaning off antidepressants was peer support websites. That was a big reason why Outro is inspired by peer support. Chase and Mark share tips and insights on how to better understand your mental health so you can be more educated, informed, and empowered to make decisions with your healthcare providers.

Andrew Herr, Founder & CEO of Fount, shares his first-of-its-kind jet lag protocol to maintain and even optimize health and wellness while traveling. Flying is rough on the body, and Andrew discovered why. He explains the inflammatory response that occurs due to the change in air pressure, which impairs how you think, feel, and perform. In combination with changing time zones, the effects on the body can be extreme. But, as Andrew explains, you can biohack jet lag.

Welcome to the podcast where we discuss groundbreaking theories and discoveries that change the way we view the world. Today, we're joined by Harvard Psychiatrist, Dr. Chris Palmer, who shares his groundbreaking Brain Energy Theory of Mental Illness. In this episode, Dr. Palmer helps us understand the root cause of mental illness, the connection between mental and physical health, and how we can actually get better. He explains that mental illness is actually metabolic dysfunction in the brain and shines a light on the current state of mental illness and mental healthcare in America. One of the biggest issues with the current mental healthcare system is that too many people are told they must sacrifice their physical health for mental stability. They're often prescribed medication with side effects and are left to hope that their mental health improves. Dr. Palmer believes that there's something wrong with this system and that the standard of care in the mental health field needs drastic improvement. As an academic physician and psychiatric researcher at Harvard Medical School, Dr. Palmer has a focus on helping people suffering from treatment-resistant mental illnesses, including mood disorders, psychotic disorders, and personality disorders. He is the author of Brain Energy: A Revolutionary Breakthrough in Understanding Mental Health--and Improving Treatment for Anxiety, Depression, OCD, PTSD, and More. Dr. Palmer's work is incredibly important, as far too many people do not get better with our current approaches to mental health treatment. If you or someone you know is struggling with mental illness, this episode is a must-listen.

Follow Mike "C-Roc" Ciorrocco @mikeycroc Visit his website Follow Chase on Instagram @chase_chewning Follow him on Twitter @chasechewning Connect with him on Facebook @chasechewningofficial Key Highlights Experiencing trauma or a loss comes with an influx of energy. "If you're not intentional about using that energy and using that circumstance to actually harness it and move it in a direction intentionally, you're drifting," Mike says. "You're just being moved in a direction by another force other than your self-determinism. Being intentional keeps you out of evil, out of destruction, and into something that can build success." Mike and Chase talk about what it feels like to "wake up", recognize your traumas, and start working to reach your potential. Mike tells the story of how a $100 bill being thrown at him became a defining moment in his life. He speaks on the impact of having divorced parents, enduring family conflict and abuse, and how he turned that $100 bill into millions. What is the root cause of being a high-achiever? Can we only tap into our limitless potential through a source of pain? Why can some people use pain to their advantage while others stay stuck in it? Listen in to hear Mike's candid thoughts! Mike speaks on how to build the habits needed to live the life of your dreams, even when people don't agree with you or support you along the way. With all the financial insecurity and a looming recession, is now the right time to buy a house? How do you navigate volatility in the market as a business owner?

The world is noisier than it's ever been. It is becoming increasingly difficult to focus our attention where we want to. As a culture where overwhelm is the norm and noise, both internal and external, is so prevalent, it can seem impossible to find moments of silence and time to be still. Leigh Marz and Justin Zorn, authors of " Golden: The Power of Silence in a World of Noise, " are on the podcast today to talk about the meaning and power of silence in a noisy world, how to find silence, why you need it, and how it can change your life. Their book discusses why silence is important for our personal and collective wellbeing and how to experience deep silence while living a full life. As well as exploring the concept of silence, the book also explores what goes on in nothingness and where silence truly exists. Leigh is a collaboration consultant and leadership coach to federal agencies and major companies. Justin has served as a meditation teacher and legislative director in the US Congress. Together Justin and Leigh cofounded Astrea Strategies, a consultancy that specializes in helping individuals and organizations develop solutions from a place of attention and centeredness. Connect with Leigh on LinkedIn Follow her on Twitter @LeighMarz Connect with Justin on LinkedIn Follow him on Twitter @JustinZorn Key Highlights Silence is less about finding a quiet place and more about being present. We experience silence in spaces that allow us to avoid interference with our perception and intention. Our everyday lives are full of opportunities to listen actively and stay present, but how often do we do this? The absence of sound does not always imply silence. What makes sound different from noise? How can we find quiet in a noisy environment? Are quiet and silence subjective experiences? What can we do to experience internal quiet and flow? Our fear of getting quiet and seeking silence can prevent us from experiencing silence. Why is that? How to avoid being overwhelmed by noise by tuning your senses to silence and being a discerning listener Is silence something you need to find? Justin explains that quiet can be accessed at all times and shares ways he has utilized micro-moments in his life to get quiet.

Welcome Dr. Julie Foucher, MD to talk about how precision medicine differs from conventional medicine and why mental and emotional health is often more important than your lifestyle. Chase then shares his own results and experience using Wild Health's genetics-based healthcare. Dr. Julie Foucher is a former CrossFit athlete, functional medicine expert, and physician at Wild Health, a precision medicine and primary care service offering holistic, personalized healthcare based on your genetics. They provide a comprehensive health analysis using advanced testing and create a custom care plan to help you decode your DNA and unlock better health. Could precision medicine save us from diseases like diabetes and cardiovascular disease? We think so! In fact, it's been clinically proven… Follow Dr. Julie Foucher @juliefoucher Follow Chase on Instagram @chase_chewning Follow him on Twitter @chasechewning Key Highlights What does it mean to know your baseline? Why is it important to know your baselines and health markers? So many of us don't know our own health markers, but if we do, we'll be better able to sustain our health and prevent disease. Tune in to hear Julie describe this in more detail. What is the different between functional, traditional, and precision medicine? Julie breaks these down for us and explains why you should consider leaning into functional and precision medicine more. Julie speaks on the importance of having a relationship with your doctor as well as the best ways to advocate for yourself and strengthen your patient/provider relationship. She also talks about how to present your health concerns to your doctor to ensure they really hear you. Chase describes how Wild Health helped him discover his predisposition for cardiovascular disease and the subsequent choices he made to improve his baselines and prevent the disease. Julie details why she worked with a mindset coach as a CrossFit competitor and how mindset shifts can significantly improve your physiological health.

Jeff Byers is a former NFL player and the current CEO of Amp Human, which offers innovative products that help athletes push the limits on their performance, adaptation, and recovery. With an interest in both sports and entrepreneurship from an early age, Jeff always harbored an interest in finding creative ways to push his boundaries for growth as a human. "I was always thinking about the little things I could do to get better," he says. "I tried to use my brain to work smarter than always just work harder." After retiring from the NFL, Jeff worked for a few years in the finance space before joining an early-stage biotech startup in late 2015. This company had discovered a way to deliver pharmaceuticals through the skin, bypassing the GI system which often limits the body's ability to optimally absorb vitamins and minerals taken orally. Not long after joining the company, Jeff and one of his partners developed a broad vision for a business offering products specifically formulated to optimize human performance, a space in which they saw, at the time, a huge gap in the market. Listen in as Jeff talks all things human performance and optimization and why he refers to it as a "broad spectrum". He also discusses the benefits of Amp Human's flagship product, PR Lotion, and its newly released D+ Lotion. Key Highlights Jeff explains how to differentiate between human performance and biohacking, and how he optimizes his cognitive abilities. Routines are great for introducing discipline; but could they also be a limiting factor to evolving, adapting, and breaking past barriers with regard to human performance? What does Jeff mean by "broad spectrum human performance"? Jeff speaks on the relationship between mindset and human performance. How do Amp Human's products, particularly PR Lotion, help humans break their limits and achieve more?

What's the secret to putting together a perfectly imperfect formula to find success in our perfectly imperfect life? Award-winning researcher and health coach Michelle Segar sits down with Chase to talk about what it takes to achieve lasting changes in our health and fitness. She explains why it's so important to build a strong foundation of understanding around human behavior, and how these behaviors influence how we make decisions, big and small, in our day-to-day lives. Michelle discusses the role of goal-setting and motivation on our journey of growth, and how having a strong "why" drives us forward as we make our daily choices. She encourages us to always have self-compassion, and to see the path of lasting change as an opportunity to better not just ourselves, but those we care about as well! Michelle Segar is an award-winning, NIH-funded researcher at the University of Michigan with almost thirty years studying how to help people adopt self-care behaviors, like exercise and healthy eating, in ways that bring meaning and joy and can survive the complexity and unpredictability of the real world. Follow Chase @chase_chewning Key Highlights When is motivation the answer? Does it ever actually serve us or is it always going to be nothing more than a crutch? Getting clear on your "why" is, more often than not, the missing link between making lifestyle changes, and sustaining those changes Michelle explains why she prefers to use the term "daily choice making" instead of "behavior change" Not every big decision needs to be life-or-death. When we're on the verge of making choices related to our health and fitness, having compassion for ourselves is more motivational and effective than judging ourselves harshly. Michelle shares how we can create our own "self-care hierarchy" Episode resources: Save 15% on organic instant lattes and coffee with with code CHASE at https://www.StrongCoffeeCompany.com Save 15% on natural CBD products with code EVERFORWARD at https://www.CuredNutrition.com Watch and subscribe on YouTube

Sarah Fay is the author of the memoir, Pathological: The True Story of Six Misdiagnoses . Pathological explores the consequences of overidentifying with a psychiatric diagnosis and how doing so can lead to self-stigmatization and self-limitation. During this episode of Ever Forward, Sarah discusses mental health diagnoses, from what they are to where they come from, how she lived through six of them, and how we can embrace and understand them better as a society. The stigma that society places on mental illness is well known, but what about the stigma we place on ourselves? Could that actually be more harmful? In Sarah's opinion, yes. Sarah discusses candidly in this episode how being diagnosed with Anorexia as a child caused her to over identify with the diagnosis and attach her thoughts and feelings to it, which led her to believe that she wouldn't be capable of doing many things in life, such as maintain a long-term relationship or hold down a full-time job. Fortunately, Sarah's perspective on her mental health has evolved to where she doesn't feel this way anymore. Her ability to reframe her diagnoses and honor her experiences has been a result of good mental health practitioners, a supportive family, and her willingness to take charge of learning more about her diagnoses and where mental health diagnoses come from. Follow Sarah on Instagram @sarahfayauthor Follow Sarah on Twitter @sarahfayauthor Follow Chase on Instagram @chase_chewning Follow him on Twitter @chasechewning Key Highlights: Sarah discusses the experience of receiving her first psychiatric diagnosis at the age of 12 and what led to it. How Sarah views her diagnoses in hindsight after 25 years in the mental health system. Sarah discusses how a psychiatrist made her think differently about her diagnosis and how she began to investigate the history and origins of mental health diagnoses. How Sarah distanced herself from her diagnosis, freeing herself from self-inflicted limitations Sarah's views on the advantages and disadvantages of receiving a diagnosis, as well as how mental health practitioners can better communicate with patients about their symptoms and treatment options An evolutionary perspective on anxiety: How our brains keep us alive In what ways can a diagnosis empower us?

In today's episode, Chase and May talk about relationships, boundary setting, and healing. We will all encounter people in our lives that test our boundaries or share different values from us. On top of that, we are all constantly changing and healing, which can create friction in our relationships. You may love someone deeply, but if they cannot meet you where you are, it's hard to maintain a healthy dynamic. Ending relationships is not a failure, and it is okay to leave space in your heart for people while realizing they cannot be in your life right now. May shares how she took stock of her relationships in order to identify what wasn't working for her. Furthermore, she discusses how she developed boundaries to protect her wellbeing and maintain a positive attitude toward others. Additionally, Chase and May discuss how healing is a continuous process. The two will discuss how their foundation of radical honesty and communication has enabled them to communicate where they are emotionally in order to know what to do individually to support each other, and when to focus on themselves alone.

May talks about how she tends to view all people as innately good and how she had to look at her life through a different lens in order to establish the boundaries with people and not get taken advantage of. It is normal for people in your life to serve different purposes, and one person cannot meet all your needs. May talks about managing her expectations for people and how she categorizes people now. It is okay to let go of people who are not serving you in your life. Chase and May talk about their views on setting boundaries, moving on from some people, even family, and their thoughts on divorce as a solution to relationship problems.

They also detail how their company, Living Prana, is supporting the world-wide evolution of mental health and wellness. Stress is oftentimes all we know as humans. Many people are in a constant state of stress and their body is so used to it, they don't even know what it's like to be in a state of balance. Stress can be created in your home environment, your career, past traumas, an imbalance in the body, and countless other sources. Tune in to learn how you can reduce stress, eliminate brain fog, and bring your body and mind back to balance - all by eating pancakes! Ryan Seaman and Brian Murphy are the Co-Founders of Living Prana, a company pioneering functional foods and building a nutritional pyramid on three fundamental tenets: Food as Medicine, Body as Temple, and Earth as Essential. They're on a mission to make this world a better place, one pancake at a time.

Chase also shares his personal experience of how adaptogens changed the quality of his daily life. Why do we reach for foods as a quick fix, rather than a long-term health solution? How long does it take to see the effects of functional mushrooms? Functional mushrooms are the superfood of the future! Brian and Ryan speak on the mind-blowing benefits of consistently consuming functional mushrooms, like Cordyceps, Chaga, and Lion's Mane.

Britt Frank is a trauma therapist and the author of The Science of Stuck: Breaking Through Inertia to Find Your Path Forward . Today's conversation centers largely on the topic of emotional regression : that all-too-common anxiety-inducing feeling that you are younger than your chronological age. Britt says that this is an issue that needs to be talked about more, because it can affect anybody regardless of their mental health status—even the most successful men and women in society. Some signs of emotional regression? Indecisiveness , fear of making people angry , can't say "no" , emotional explosions , wanting to be the "favorite" child/employee/friend , imposter syndrome , and many more. Believing that "surviving childhood is trauma in and of itself," Britt asserts that, "if you don't grieve the fact that your childhood is over, you end up repeating it." At the same time, Britt notes that humans are a "sliding scale", constantly swinging from equilibrium to one extreme to another and back again. According to Britt, instead of trying to practice "self-regulation" all the time on one end, or being overly emotional and passionate on the other, we need to be willing to embrace a dynamic way of life. This way, we allow ourselves to consciously shift from one emotional state to each other, and from a state of high energy to a state of rest, acknowledging that how we feel is completely and utterly how our body wants us to feel in the moment. Britt reminds us that "our brain is on our side"—that anxiety is simply a sign telling us that something needs to be addressed. This means allowing ourselves to grieve, as opposed to suppressing that grief, is what will ultimately lead to our healing. Follow Britt @brittfrank Follow Chase @chase_chewning Key Highlights Britt breaks down the phenomenon of "emotional regression": those excruciating moments—usually taking place around one's parents—where one feels younger than their actual age, and why many of even the most successful individuals go through it. Like the titular character in Alice in Wonderland, emotional regression makes us feel too big one moment and too small the next: your "yes" was really a "no" ; you feel guilty when you fail and guilty when you succeed ; you feel like an imposter half the time and a narcissistic monster the other half . Britt describes emotional regression as a psychological longing for "home"—by extension defining home ostasis as feeling at home in your body, mind, and heart. Britt unpacks grief as it relates to emotional regression and lays out the four steps to healthy grieving. She also explains why she sees anxiety as a superpower that can help us get unstuck on our road to healing. You don't need to wait until you've hit rock-bottom to change. Britt shares how you can start taking those baby steps to turn your life around today, and explains why feeling "fine" is far from fine.

Society has changed, technology has changed, the way we work has changed, everything has changed! Change can feel overwhelming or confusing, but not if you know how to change with it. Allow us to introduce you to the one and only, Jason Feifer, editor in chief of Entrepreneur magazine, podcast host, author, startup advisor, keynote speaker, and "nonstop optimism machine". Jason believes that change is inevitable, but thriving is up to you… and he's here to tell you how. In this discussion, Chase and Jason talk about the present and future of work, what's changed in the workforce and entrepreneurship space over the past two years (since covid began), and how to create opportunities and innovation in your life and business. Follow Jason Feifer @heyfeifer Follow Chase on Instagram @chase_chewning Follow him on Twitter @chasechewning Key Highlights The pandemic has caused many companies to restructure their organization and work flows. If we focused less how much time people are spending working and instead focused more on what they produce, we can start to create more flexibility in how people work together. Efficiency is necessary, but it can be the death of innovation. Do you know what really killed Kodak? Facebook. Every company needs someone (or a team) whose job is to come up with new opportunities. The best type of opportunity you can pursue is the opportunity that is available to you that nobody is asking you to do. How do ensure we're moving forward in a direction of expansion? Tune in to hear a story from Jason that illustrates his answer. What is Jason's billion dollar question he wants entrepreneurs to ask themselves? He dedicated a whole blank page in his new book for this question: What is it for? "It's just so valuable for all of us if we can think about the cycle of change we're in right now as the conscious cycle," Jason says, "This is the one that you pay attention to, that you take notes on, that you have documented evidence… so that when you get through it… [and] the next time you go through it, you can look back and you can say… it's gonna work out again."

How do you find meaning and stillness in your daily life? That could sound like a loaded question, but if you take a step back and think about it, meaning and stillness are things we get to relish in every single day… if we're mindful about it! Eli Weinstein, a Licensed Clinical Social Work Therapist, is passionate about sharing tips and tools for no BS mental health, wellness, and everyday life. He's here to do just that. In this discussion, Chase and Eli talk about navigating parenthood, partnership, and your relationship with yourself. He shares his simple, yet powerful techniques for minimizing anxiety, stress, overwhelm, and the societal noise we're constantly exposed to. Then, he sheds light on three major mental health issues the world is facing right now and why we should be aware of them. Follow Eli Weinstein @eliweinstein_lcsw Follow Chase on Instagram @chase_chewning Follow him on Twitter @chasechewning Key Highlights Eli explains how to begin the process of "dating yourself", getting to know yourself, and developing a healthy relationship with the Self. Remember, start small. Choosing to not do things can be just as powerful as choosing to do things. He details the impact of stillness on everything from productivity to self-awareness and relaxation, touching on how he finds stillness with ADHD. The intensity of social media can cause our brain to go into survival mode, creating an internal stress system pumping adrenaline into your body. Turn off your push notifications, avoid mindless scrolling, and avoid picking up your phone the second you wake up. At the root, taking care of yourself and enhancing the quality of your life is about learning how to just BE with yourself, your thoughts, and your feelings, learning to enjoy your life where you're at (not through a screen). When we isolate ourselves, we get stuck in our thoughts and we feel alone. The pandemic caused a lot of isolation, whether we wanted it or not, and that's a slippery slope to mental illness. Embrace your whole self, your inner and outer worlds, and get help when you need it. It might just change your entire life.

What would happen if you approached both your relationships with yourself and your partner through a lens of curiosity instead of judgment and resentment? Chances are you'd experience more love, comfort, and happiness. In this episode, John Kim and Vanessa Bennett share their best insights on cultivating a quality relationship with yourself and your partner, the hard work it takes to "relationship better", and tips and tactics for overcoming the barriers to having a healthy relationship. Most importantly, John and Vanessa talk about the power of approaching relationships through a lens of curiosity instead of judgment.

Follow John @theangrytherapist Follow Vanessa @vanessabennett Follow Chase on Instagram @chase_chewning Follow him on Twitter @chasechewning Key Highlights John and Vanessa talk about how to constructively call your partner out. The trick? Trying to understand before trying to be understood. You'll learn how to open up in a relationship and build trusting communication with your partner instead of sweeping issues and conflicts under the rug. You don't know everything about your partner, which is exciting! John and Vanessa break down why it's important to get out of judgment and get into curiosity and how to go about doing that in your partnership. Fire needs air, meaning if you want passion, you need desire, space, and an understanding of and connection with the self. If you do things for yourself that excite you, you'll be more able to be excited by your partner. Is it okay to fantasize about and be attracted to other people when you're in a relationship?

As veterans, how do we push past the fear of getting mental health support and treatment?

Listen in to this month's chat with May Yazdi, Chase's wife, as the pair talks about burnout and relationships. In this discussion, Chase and May talk about how to manage burnout through nurturing your relationship with yourself and how to support your partner while they experience burnout. They share simple, yet powerful communication techniques for partners navigating burnout together along with tips and advice on gaining back your energy and inspiration after burning out.

Have a question? Email us at info@everforwardradio.com ! Key Highlights Burnout is a syndrome conceptualized as resulting from chronic workplace stress that has not been successfully managed. It is characterized by three dimensions: feelings of energy depletion or exhaustion, increased mental distance, or feelings of negativism or cynicism. Does any of this resonate with you? If so, you're likely burnt out! May sheds light on how burnout caused her to feel uninspired and unmotivated in her career and how burnout impacted her physical, mental, and emotional health. How do you effectively manage stress? May shares an analogy to illustrate the idea that when you react to and process your stress, the stress is able to be broken down and released without being stored in the body. If your partner is experiencing burnout, or if you're both experiencing burnout, how can you get through it? May and Chase speak on the importance of acknowledging the space that each of you are in, sharing about your work day at a time that feels right for you, and allowing yourself the time to fully process your stress before involving your partner. Always be willing to listen, ask your partner what they need/want, and be willing to give them space. When your partner doesn't want to talk about their day, be accepting of that and don't take it personally. Managing and recovering from burnout is a non-linear process. There may be waves of emotions and feelings, some days might be better than others, but there's always a way to overcome it.

What is a radically neutral approach to nutrition and health? It's an approach rooted in compassion and intuition and it's changing thousands of people's lives. Meet Michelle Shapiro, a Holistic Registered Dietician and Certified Functional Nutrition and Lifestyle Practitioner who helps people use functional nutrition to heal gut issues, reverse anxiety, and approach weight lovingly. At the root of her practice is, you guessed it, compassion and intuition. In this discussion, Chase and Michelle break down a few controversial health topics along with what we can do to empower ourselves to have greater health. Michelle shares her thoughts on the effects of diet culture and anti-diet culture, fasting, intuitive eating, and functional nutrition practices that actually work for human beings. She also speaks on the relationship between body positivity, body image, physical health, and mental health. This is a very insightful episode you certainly won't want to skip over! Follow Michelle Shapiro @michelleshapirord Visit her website Follow Chase on Instagram @chase_chewning Follow him on Twitter @chasechewning Key Highlights Michelle sheds light on the role of "new-ancient" health and wellness modalities and the rising anti-diet culture movement. "Overtime, as we've seen, chronic illness rates in America have consistently gone up, regardless of the fact that we're putting more and more [modern Western medicine] interventions into place," she says. How do you separate yourself from the noise of diet culture and find information that serves you and your needs? Michelle emphasizes the power of intuition and intuitive eating in developing your ideal diet, lifestyle, and wellness practices. Ask yourself questions, especially when making changes to your diet or lifestyle. "The way that I describe the body positivity movement is that it is an extreme knee jerk reaction to a tremendous amount of very real trauma after a really long time," Michelle says. She then details the principles of compassion and coddling she uses with her clients to make health changes as well as with her opinions on HAES (Health at Every Size). Michelle shares her unique opinion on the individualization of fasting, highlighting the types of people that would benefit or would not benefit from fasting. Is fasting right for you?

She is the founder of Storyplace, an empathy-driven digital platform where you can write and read stories from people all around the world. Tying all of Ivana's varied passions is the same mission: to promote empathy through the most basic and powerful form of education, storytelling . Listen in as Ivana breaks down the magic of stories in their power to learn more about not just other human beings, but ourselves as well. It was thanks to her strong belief in the ability of storytelling to unite people of disparate background and beliefs that she was inspired to create the Storyplace platform. In the latter half of our conversation, Ivana reflects on her experience with psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy, as well as her very first Ayahuasca ceremony, and how these sessions caused her to wake up to a truer version of herself for the first time in her life. Asked what story she is currently writing now that she is in her third decade of life, Ivana tells Chase: "I feel like I was just born again. I realized I had never, in 30 years, asked myself, 'What do I want?'" Follow Ivana @ivanamaria Follow Chase @chase_chewning Key Highlights If you open yourself up to hearing the stories of everyone around you, you level up your own life.

Ivana shares what inspired her to establish her unique platform built to bring people's stories together. Addressing the all-too-common reply of, "I don't have a story," Ivana explains that, instead of saying to someone, "Tell me your story," it's so much more powerful to say, "Tell me a story about…" Ivana talks about how her psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy experiences made her feel like she had "woken up from a 29-year-nap".

Louisa Nicola is a neurophysiologist, brain coach to elite athletes, and Founder of Neuro Athletics, a full-service neuroscience diagnostic testing company. Back in episode #436, Louisa Nicola gave us an introduction to the brain and nervous system, setting the foundation for us to understand how neuroscience can help us get more out of life. This week, Louisa is back to dive deeper into the science behind brain performance. In this discussion, Chase and Louisa talk about the three domains of peak brain performance: nutrition, physical exercise, and neurophysiology. Louisa breaks down how to utilize nutrients, exercise, and sleep, so you can better optimize your brain health. The pair also talk about keeping the blood-brain barrier strong, the benefits of using exogenous ketones, and why you need to be more mindful of maintaining your dopamine levels. Plus… Can our brain cells regenerate or are the connections just getting stronger? Stick around until the end to hear Louisa's shocking answer! Follow Louisa Nicola @louisanicola_ Learn more about NeuroAthletics Follow Chase on Instagram @chase_chewning Follow him on Twitter @chasechewning Key Highlights Sleep: "Sleep is probably the most underrated high performance tool we have," Louisa says. If you're an athlete who doesn't get enough quality sleep, it affects almost every aspect of your performance and increases risk for injury. Louisa goes on to describe the impacts of sleep on brain health, brain disorders, and brain aging. Nutrition: "When it comes to the brain, there are certain things that the brain favors, especially as it relates to nutrition and supplementation," Louisa says. Listen in to learn how stress, inflammation, and supplementation of key nutrients, like EPA and DHA, can play a role in longevity and cognitive performance. Plus, Louisa explains the benefits of going on a high fat diet immediately after a traumatic brain injury (TBI) or concussion). Hydration is a key indicator of brain functioning. If we are 2% dehydrated, we can have a decrease in our cognitive performance by 30%. Exercise: "You can grow the gray matter of your brain by physical activity alone," Louisa says. She then recaps various research studies that show the relationship between exercise, particularly resistance training, and cognitive performance as well as how exercise can prevent Alzheimer's disease. Your brain loves quality time with other humans, loving relationships, social interactions, and of course, self-love. How will you know these practices are actually improving your brain health?

Imagine a world where growing your own food is as nutritious and cost-effective as grocery shopping at your favorite store. Jacob Pechenik, the Founder and CEO of Lettuce Grow, is on a mission to make this happen now . Referring to the company as the answer to industrialized big agriculture, Jacob's mission through Lettuce Grow (and its parent company The Farm Project) is to "democratize the growing of food for all" by "providing families access to clean, unprocessed food, [...] decreasing transportation emissions, drastically reducing water usage, and recycling ocean-bound plastics from places that lack recycling initiatives." Having always had a passion for sustainable farming, Jacob began with a dream to transform the wasteful industrial food system. He started with the question, "How do I get more people to the farm?", but later on began to ask, "How do I get the farm to more people?" That question led to his mission to create a million farmers throughout the country and by extension empower consumers to choose healthier, locally-produced alternatives. In the process, he hopes more people can reclaim that age-old sense of pride that comes with preparing one's own meal. Follow Lettuce Grow @lettucegrow Follow Chase @chase_chewning Key Highlights People have become so disconnected from how their food is sourced, grown, and prepared. The fact that ever-changing fad diets exist makes this obvious. Jacob explains how conscious consumerism aims to help us rediscover our food heritage. Industrial food distribution typically wastes 52% of the plant before it gets to the consumer. Jacob breaks down The Farm Project's innovative "distributed farming" model, which ensures maximum freshness throughout the whole process. Jacob shares his journey to becoming empowered in choosing the healthiest food he could for his children. How much of an impact does Jacob hope Lettuce Grow and The Farm Project will have on the food distribution industry?

Food is what's killing us in this country. Did you know that living in the United States for 10 years increases your risk of developing food allergies? That's pretty nutty, but not as nutty as our guest, whom we have dubbed "Certified Nut Job," Sonia Hunt. Sonia Hunt is a Tedx Speaker, Integrative Nutrition Health Coach, and #1 Best-Selling Author of "NUT JOB: How I Crushed My Food Allergies to Thrive". Sonia is known for her journey of, after almost dying four times, becoming food allergy-free from 32+ foods. Horrific experiences with anaphylaxis led her to optimize her life and share the lessons she learned with the world and with you! In this discussion, Chase and Sonia talk about all things allergies – what's in our foods that may or may not be causing internal and external havoc and, more importantly, what to do about your food allergies. She details her holistic approach to finding the root cause of her severe food allergies and the mind-blowing realizations she had along the way. Follow Sonia @soniahunt Follow Chase on Instagram @chase_chewning Follow him on Twitter @chasechewning Key Highlights Sonia dissected every area of her life and worked with a variety of medical practitioners to get to the root cause of her suffering. A decade later, in 2020, she found out that she had eliminated all her food allergies and is still in remission today. How did she do it? Listen in to find out! "The very first step to change is changing your mindset," Sonia says. She didn't love herself and she had been living on autopilot based on how society was telling her to live. This realization was her catalyst to start pivoting her mindset, taking back her power, and healing her health issues. Sonia sheds light on how she manages the inner critic and the fear of "relapsing" and reacting to former allergens again. Gut health was a major part of what Sonia and her doctors investigated and worked to improve. More research is coming out showing the correlation between Leaky Gut Syndrome, which Sonia has, and food allergies. Exercise, Ayurveda, supplementation, and eliminating environmental toxins in the home also helped her eliminate her allergies. Sonia shares what she's excited for in the future, highlighting her recent health coach certification, Three to Be™ program, and the role of technology and the metaverse in improving our physical self holistically.

Maybe you have seen the new Netflix documentary "How to Change Your Mind" with Michael Pollen? Maybe you are becoming interested in learning more about psychedelic healing? May Yazdi, Chase's wife and psychedelic assisted psychotherapy Family Nurse Practitioner, is back for a summertime chat and recap of a very special trip they took to the desert of Southern California – one that involved lots of love, connection, grounding, and psilocybin. In this candid discussion, Chase and May talk about the incredibly healing power of downtime as well as intentional alternative medicine therapies such as psilocybin and ketamine assisted psychotherapy. Chase dives deep into what his recent six gram psilocybin experience was like and May reflects on what it's like to be a professional "trip sitter". Then, the duo sheds light on how to choose your trip sitter along with tips for holding space for someone in altered states of consciousness. Follow May @mayyazdi Follow Chase on Instagram @chase_chewning Follow him on Twitter @chasechewning Key Highlights Chase reflects on his decision to have a very high dose (6 grams) psilocybin experience and what he gained from the trip. May shares her experience as a professional "trip sitter", as well as her experience being present during Chase's big trip. She speaks on her strategy for holding space for people taking psychedelics and why it can be harmful to trip sit somebody when you're not trained. Next time you travel, when you get to your destination, try grounding yourself for a few minutes. Take your socks and shoes off, go to an area where you can stand on earth (if possible), and just soak in the presence. It's the first thing May does anytime she travels! Listen in as she describes the first time she ever did this. Set and Setting: May explains why it's so important to create a safe space and to be a neutral, unbiased trip sitter during someone else's psychedelic journey. Remember the phrase "your feelings are valid." Choosing your trip sitter is a very important, intentional decision and there are many benefits to working with a trained Psychotherapist. May also shares why your best friend, partner, or family member might not be the best person to trip sit for you.

Rachel Scheer shares how she came to discover her natural talent for weightlifting which, combined with an insatiable work ethic and trust and belief in herself, led her down an unexpected path that would challenge everything she knew about health and wellness. After a series of gut-related issues reared their heads at the beginning of her fitness career, it all came to a head when the motility in her gut completely halted. After being told that the only solution to her condition was the removal of her entire large intestine (an option she seriously considered for a while), Rachel eventually decided that there had to be another way. She threw herself into studying as much as she could about the gut, leading her to discover the power of the microbiome and a pathway to healing she never realized existed. She talks about how to identify and eliminate the stressors that contribute to gut-related problems—whether they be dietary, emotional, or environmental stressors. "Our body has an innate ability to heal," says Rachel, "once we can get out of our own way." Rachel reflects on the final piece of the puzzle she had to solve on her healing journey: addressing unresolved trauma. She shares how she forced herself to practice brutally honesty in order to evaluate the stories she told about herself and rewrite the ones that didn't serve her. Needless to say, Rachel's progress has completely surpassed all of her doctors' expectations. To her, healing and growth ultimately comes down to embracing our truth and choosing what brings joy and love into our lives. Rachel Scheer is a Certified Functional Medicine Nutritionist with her own private nutrition and counseling practice now in Southern California. Follow Rachel @rachelscheer Follow Chase @chase_chewning Key Highlights Rachel never grew up expecting to be the most talented person in the room. However, what has served her well in life is her trust and faith in her potential coupled with a lot of discipline to fully unlock that potential. The rock-bottom moment for Rachel was when she was told that the only solution to her condition was the removal of her entire large intestine. She talks about how she dealt with the weight of this life-altering decision and how it all led her to pursue functional medicine. Rachel breaks down the three main stressors that lead to disease (i.e. dis-ease) in the body: emotional stressors, dietary stressors, and environmental stressors. The less obvious healing work that Rachel had to do was address unresolved trauma to rekindle the link between her gut, her head, and her heart. She explains how she was able to do this, starting with forcing herself to embrace radical honesty .

Whether you're struggling to lose weight, burn fat, gain muscle, or improve your health in any way, there's one thing that's almost guaranteed to be in your way… your mind. Natalie Newhart is the Founder of Fit Addicted Nutrition, where she specializes in female-specific fat loss, as well as a mindset coach for those who want to master their mind and body. She believes that in order to master your body, you have to train your mind… but what does that mean and how do you start to train the mind? Natalie and Chase talk about what it means to train the mind while breaking down the 4-phase training approach she uses to maintain her health and create the life she wants to live. Natalie shares her thoughts on why mindset is more important than diet and exercise and how your mental health and mindset could be preventing you from losing excess fat. Follow Natalie Newhart @natalie.newhart Follow Chase on Instagram @chase_chewning Follow him on Twitter @chasechewning Key Highlights Natalie shares the meaning behind her motto/mindset: "Train your mind. Love your body. Become your best self." and how she has used that to overcome disordered eating and exercise habits. The 4 phases of training Natalie uses are focus (training thoughts), emotions (training the nervous system), vision (painting a picture of the life you want to create), and intuition (bridging the gap from where you are to where you want to be). Most people struggle to take the first step of retraining the mind because of fear of uncertainty. You've got to have faith and trust that this process can work. Once Nat saw other people living a healthy, free life, she started to shift her focus from the version of herself she thought she had to be to the version of herself she wanted to be. Ultimately, awareness is key in shifting thought and behavior patterns. The mind thinks there's some type of benefit to overeating, restricting, or whatever action that's not serving you. But when you become aware of that, you have the power to shift your thoughts and behaviors to healthier ones. Natalie sheds light on her relationship with gratitude, how gratitude and stillness play a major role in her health and wellness journey, and what she does when gratitude doesn't come easy to her. Natalie also talks about how she discovered the impact of mental and emotional stress on the body, specifically women's bodies, and the research she's done on stress, health, and weight gain/loss.

Being a human means you're going to experience difficult emotions, traumas, and hardships… but being a human also means that you have the ability to heal, connect with your Higher Self, and make an impact in the world. Meet Emily Duncan, CEO of Emily Duncan Fitness, a science-based and human-centric fitness coaching company. Emily is not only passionate about transforming bodies and minds through health and fitness, she's also passionate about the impacts of spirituality, mindfulness, and psychedelics on the human experience. In this discussion, Chase and Emily have a cozy conversation about psychedelics and microdosing, connecting with your Higher Self through Higher Self Behaviors, what it means to live on brand, and how she helps others find health and wholeness through fitness coaching. Follow Emily Duncan @em_dunc and @edfcoaching Follow Chase on Instagram @chase_chewning Follow him on Twitter @chasechewning Key Highlights Emily describes (for the first time publicly) her experience during a psychedelic trip that initiated healing from deeply rooted traumas. She speaks on the existential crisis that blossomed out of that experience, how she overcame that, and the lessons she learned along the way. Living on brand, having conviction in who you are now and how you might change tomorrow, is immensely powerful. "To really solidify who your people are, to become more aware of the growth you've had, just to really connect with other human beings in a totally different way happens so much more significantly when you can look at a person and it's just like, you are fully fucking you," Chase says. Can we experience life-changing realizations on our own volition, without psychedelics? Listen in as Emily and Chase share their candid thoughts on how to reach a psychedelic state of mind without taking psychedelics. One of the biggest joys Emily has experienced in life is the opportunity to learn about herself and understanding why she has functioned the way she has.

What do heart health and erectile dysfunction have in common? A tiny molecule called Nitric Oxide (NO)… but we'll let the "Father of Viagra" explain that. Today's guest, Dr. Louis Ignarro, PhD is a distinguished Professor Emeritus of Molecular & Medical Pharmacology at UCLA and has been a research scientist for over 40 years. Dr. Ignarro is known for his discovery of Nitric Oxide and its many life-critical biological actions in the human body, a discovery that led to winning a Nobel Prize and Viagra. In this discussion, Chase and Dr. Ignarro talk about his Nobel Prize-winning discovery and how Nitric Oxide plays a critical role in improving cardiovascular health, longevity, and even your sex life. He also shares a few simple and actionable insights on what you can do to naturally boost your heart health and prevent disease. This is truly a discussion you won't want to miss! Follow Dr. Louis Ignarro @dr.louisignarro Follow Chase on Instagram @chase_chewning Follow him on Twitter @chasechewning Key Highlights Dr. Ignarro first breaks down what the free radical Nitric Oxide is and how it affects the human body, particularly in terms of cardiovascular health. Our body produces tiny amounts of NO which has been found to lower blood pressure and prevent harmful blood clots, thus supporting heart health and preventing strokes. Why is the discovery of Nitric Oxide so important for the human race? Simply put, this enabled the scientific community to discover how we can naturally boost NO in the body to improve heart health: through nutrition and physical activity. Dr. Ignarro highlights the role of nutrition in NO production and how a quality, balanced diet contributes to heart health. "If you don't eat enough protein, you're not going to make enough NO," he says. Plus, Louis emphasizes the crucial role of antioxidants in heart health and what fruits and vegetables have the highest amounts of antioxidants. One of the keys to increasing longevity (and quality of life) is increasing cardiovascular health and mental health. Dr. Ignarro shares his thoughts on the obesity epidemic, the harmful relationship between Nitric Oxide and body fat, and how that's impacting the severity of cardiovascular disease in America. Why is Dr. Ignarro known as the "Father of Viagra"? How does NO impact erectile dysfunction? Listen in as he shares the story behind his discovery that made the development of Viagra possible.

True healing begins with your mindset. Health, wellness, and healing goes beyond the physical experience. There's an esoteric, or spiritual, branch of medicine that's little talked about but majorly impactful. Let's unpack that concept and explore how spirituality might help you heal. Dr. Trish Ferrer, ND is a Naturopathic Doctor by trade and a Healer by purpose. She is also a speaker, writer, activist and coach that combines healthcare, feminine energetics, and spirituality to sustain your health. Ultimately, she "specializes in people, who they are and the complexity of their humanity".

She also shares her top advice on men's health, divine intimacy and sexuality, and the benefits of embracing your masculine and feminine energies. Follow Dr. Trish Ferrer @dr.trishferrer Visit her website Follow Chase on Instagram @chase_chewning Follow him on Twitter @chasechewning Key Highlights Dr. Trish sheds light on how our physical health is connected to our spiritual and emotional health and wellness. So often, people come to Trish struggling with chronic conditions or health issues, having seen several doctors with no success or diagnosis. Trish helps treat their physical ailment, but also helps them look at other areas of their life, like childhood or relationships, to find the root cause of their issue. Once they do that, physical health will be restored. Trish breaks down her meaning behind spirituality and esoteric medicine and talks about how to develop the mindset that's needed to heal. Empowerment and education are critical in the healthcare system and medicinal space. The philosophy of healing is really about being present in the moment. Once we are aware, informed, and empowered, we're able to tackle the obstacles to health and wellness. Listen in to hear Trish describe the role of empowerment and education in her naturopathy practice and how this impacts her patients' outcomes. Trish shares her #1 tip for men's health (and smashing the patriarchy): Let go of "what a man should be". Embrace your masculine AND feminine energies.

Chase and Trish break down the role of "kingship" and "queenship", or the divine masculine and feminine, in sexual health. Plus, Trish shares how you can be strong AND tender at the same time as well as how to make your partner (or potential partner) feel safe around you.

Have you ever considered trying a trendy diet? Not sure if it's right for you? Are you turned off by the controversy surrounding it? What is the best diet for bodybuilding and transforming your body? Robert Sikes is a natural competitive bodybuilder and entrepreneur who attributes much of his health and wellness to adopting the ketogenic lifestyle. Although this diet isn't for everyone, Robert gives us a valuable perspective on how diet and lifestyle can create a ripple effect of benefits in one's life if done with intention, care, and commitment. In this discussion, Robert and Chase talk about how the ketogenic diet has transformed Robert's life in many ways, from bodybuilding to his relationships to entrepreneurship and more. He shares his candid thoughts on the controversy around the ketogenic diet, the psychology of eating and dieting, and important things you should know if you're considering adopting a keto diet and lifestyle. Robert also talks about his new book, "Ketogenic Bodybuilding", and where he thinks we have room to grow in the health and fitness industry. Follow Robert Sikes @ketosavage Follow Chase on Instagram @chase_chewning Follow him on Twitter @chasechewning Key Highlights Robert sheds light on his history with dieting and disordered eating and how that has affected his mental health and OCD. He also shares about his discovery of the ketogenic diet and how that had positive effects on his mental and physical health, productivity, and his relationship with food. Since there's immense controversy surrounding the keto diet, Robert talks about the various uses of the keto diet and how that has evolved over the years. "I think in 2017-2018 is when it really spiked… and since then, there's been a massive influx of products and just marketing around the ketogenic diet, paling it as this miracle weight loss diet. There's some truth to some of that marketing but a lot of it has been overly hyped for sure," Robert says. Robert details his improvements in various health markers after going keto, as well as the power of combining research on diets and health trends with personal experimentation to come to your own conclusion. Want to test out the keto diet for yourself? Robert gives you this advice: Get some baseline panels done, take initial progress photos and measurements, get a composition scan done, and then try the keto diet for 3-6 months before making any conclusions. He also highlights the importance of tracking your progress and details how he maintains the keto lifestyle year-round. When you find a diet/lifestyle that makes you feel great mentally and physically (and is sustainable), you're going to see tremendous changes in other areas of your life, like work/business and family life.

Animal protein, according to Dr. Gabrielle Lyon, is the key to preventing disease and promoting longevity. Plant protein can be one's alternative choice but it may be missing the mark for you in terms of total wellness potential. And what about body composition, chronic disease and illness? The common conception is that obesity is the root cause of most diseases. The reality is we don't have a body fat problem, we're just under-muscled… That's the concept that drives the work of this week's guest. Dr. Gabrielle Lyon, DO is a physician who founded the concept and the Institute of Muscle Centric Medicine®. In this discussion, Chase and Dr. Gabrielle Lyon have a transparent conversation about the history of food and nutritional science, the power of Muscle Centric Medicine®, and the non-negotiable science behind controversial health topics, including protein and RDAs.

Follow Dr. Gabrielle Lyon @drgabriellelyon Follow Chase on Instagram @chase_chewning Follow him on Twitter @chasechewning Key Highlights Dr. Gabrielle Lyon defines Muscle Centric Medicine® as the concept that muscle is the organ of longevity that determines everything about how we age. "If we are muscle centric, we can change the trajectory of how we age," Dr. Gabrielle says. The primary drivers of disease are insulin resistance and skeletal muscle. Listen in as Dr. Gabrielle breaks down the definition of insulin resistance and explains the role of glucose, blood sugar, and skeletal muscle in maintaining health and longevity. Humans' relationship with and understanding of food is rooted in religion and emotion, not just science. Many things have influenced what we eat and the way we eat it. Dr. Gabrielle details the history of food and nutritional science over the last 100+ years and what that means for us today. She shares the hard science you need to know behind controversial topics in nutrition including protein and the quality of protein, recommended dietary allowances (RDAs), and longevity. Should I go plant-based? What's the difference between animal protein and plant protein? How many grams of protein should I be eating in a meal/day? What supplements should I take as a vegetarian/vegan? Tune in to hear Dr. Gabrielle's science-backed answers!

So, you've gained a following on social media… now what? The answer isn't always clear and direct. What we have come to realize is that Instagram and TikTok are no longer (or perhaps, never were) places where you had to appear perfect to gain a following or appeal to a large audience. It's easier than ever to create content and connect to people through social media, but not many people aren't talking about how to handle the immense growth and exposure that comes with being an influencer. Sam Gwaz is a health coach and fitness influencer who, since growing her Instagram platform by 200,000+ new followers in the last 3 years, has had to grow along with her social media presence in many ways. In this discussion, Sam and Chase talk about her growth and evolution as a health and fitness content creator on social media. They speak on the power of vulnerability in building confidence, Sam's current struggle as a content creator, and how to reevaluate your social media presence to ensure you're creating authentic content that's aligned with your audience. Then, Sam shares her hopes for the future of social media along with a few pieces of advice for aspiring content creators.

In this solo episode, Chase reflects on his seasons of training , unpacking the things that have kept him motivated—and continue to keep him motivated—in and out of the gym. After over 17 years of purposefully and intentionally leading an active lifestyle, one of the most fundamental lessons Chase has learned is the cumulative power of consistency . You could say that just stepping foot in the gym when it's the last thing you feel like doing , is already half the battle. Many times, it really comes down to doing whatever it takes to simply show up, even if that means relying on external motivation to push you forward. Going through your personal seasons of fitness means that there will be weeks, months, or even a few years when that internal motivation that first got you going to the gym is no longer enough. As you "mature" on your fitness journey, you will need to find ways to reinvigorate your passion for training. Chase finds more purpose and excitement in his training today in large part because he found an amazing community of like-minded athletes. He also recently began testosterone replacement therapy (TRT), an ongoing experience which he speaks about at length in this episode. All that said, Chase reminds us to not neglect our mental and emotional health for the sake of our fitness goals. In his words, sometimes "motivation deserves a sit-down" so that we have the opportunity to check in with ourselves in a holistic sense. Chase is also a staunch advocate for tracking your training , because if you can't visually see your progress down to all of those minute wins that add up, it becomes so easy to lose motivation. Finally, throughout your seasons of training, always remember to embrace radical honesty not just to ensure you're really on the right path to growth, but also to assess whether you still have the same passion and excitement for the training modalities you're currently engaged in.

Austin Cohen, Founder and CEO of FlexIt Fitness , sits down with Chase to discuss how he was able to keep the momentum going for his "a-la-carte digital fitness solution" in spite of the many setbacks and distractions throughout the past two years. In fact, he says that it is the challenges themselves which incentivized him and his team at FlexIt to think up cutting-edge solutions that they never would have in the old, familiar normal. The company's focus, says Austin, has always been on "broadening access, of helping people understand that they can experience things that maybe they previously felt to be prohibitively costly, prohibitively inaccessible, or uncomfortable or intimidating." He says that one of the keys to being able to adapt to the situation at hand and adopt new ways of doing things is by staying determined to achieve the same goals one might have for their health and fitness, but being willing to consider options that may be outside one's comfort zone. Austin points to three major developments that the pandemic has spurred on within the fitness industry (and how FlexIt has capitalized on them): livestreaming , pre-recorded content , and hardwire . "None of those categories are new," he notes. "They just became more widely adopted, more widely marketed, and put in front of our faces more than they ever have been before." Finally, Austin talks about some of the unique opportunities that virtual training can offer to fitness professionals, and why conducting successful online sessions as a coach is a radically different beast from training clients in-person.

So, what is sleep fitness? Put simply, sleep fitness is a healthy state of sleep.

Michael Chernow believes that anyone can reinvent themselves. The New York-based restaurateur, TV host, and fitness personality came a long way, recalling a past defined by depression, unemployment, and crumbling relationships with his own family. "I hated myself, truly," Michael admits. Everything changed one day when he walked into a Muay Thai gym and was gently yet firmly led by his instructors to live a life of physical wellness (which included a daily bowl of oatmeal for breakfast) along with a heavy dose of self-respect. Asked about fear , Michael distinguishes between living in fear and living with fear and why he believes that the key to growth is through giving up the former and learning to deal with the latter. As for his own fears, Michael says that he has never had a fear of failure, particularly once he had gotten on the road to turning his life around. Michael dives deep into the power of habit, which he illustrates by talking about his meticulous early morning routine involving around 17 activities. Michael contends that each of these activities, when done, is a win , and so "by 6:00 in the morning, I've literally won 17 times," ensuring that his "ability to make great decisions throughout the day are far greater." His strong belief in positive rituals—and oatmeal—was the spark that led to the launch of the lifestyle and wellness brand Kreatures of Habit and its plant-based, gluten-free, superfood-laced oatmeal The PrOATagonist.

Niyc Pidgeon is a life coach and the author of the best-selling book, Now Is Your Chance , which talks about living a happy life by implementing positive psychology principles into your life. Starting her career as a personal trainer, helping people with their health and fitness goals, Niyc was often approached by her clients as a counsellor for their emotional and mental issues. Those interactions made her realize the intangible link – between the mind and the body, making her want to explore it in depth. Eventually, Niyc studied positive psychology and made it her mission to change the lives of humans using its principles. In today's discussion, Niyc and Chase unwind the core principles of positive psychology and how it drives noticeable change in the lives of humans. Niyc explains why positive psychology isn't only about happy things but instead involves finding the light in situations, however bad they may be. As research states, it's about finding 'three positive emotions for every negative emotion' (the ratio may vary depending on your situation and state, but the principle stays intact). It's about breaking away from rumination and focussing on the 'now'. You'll learn to differentiate a fixed mindset from a growth mindset and discover the huge importance of cultivating a growth mindset to stay positive.

Grief increases inflammation, which can worsen health problems you already have and cause new ones. It batters the immune system, leaving you depleted and vulnerable to infection. The heartbreak of grief can increase blood pressure and the risk of blood clots. Who knew an emotional response to a major life event had such physical consequences? If you're new here, the phrase and mantra "ever forward" came from his father. His father's death left such a significant and traumatic imprint on Chase's heart, mind, and really his entire life, so much so that it became his reason for living. In this discussion, Chase sheds light on his nearly two-decade long battle with grief and bereavement, sharing his personal story of the very significant trauma he has experienced. He also incorporates what science has to say about the relationship between grief and our physical and mental states. Chase then shares a few things he's done to bring a sense of awareness to his grief and work through it.

What does it mean to have a spiritual component to your relationship? How do I develop spirituality in my relationship? What's the difference between spirituality and religion? How do you have a healthy relationship with someone who's beliefs are different than your own? These are all powerful questions Chase and May reflect upon in this episode. In the last few years, Chase has become more spiritual, realizing that his spiritual Self has always been with him. Despite being grown up in the Southern Baptist Church, he ponders the reason why he hasn't made his own spirituality as much of a priority as he wants it to be. Through his spiritual exploration, Chase and May have been able to deepen their connection on a whole new level. In this discussion, May and Chase talk about the spiritual component of relationships and marriage.

For years, brain enthusiasts and performance coaches have been striving to find ways to assess human health with nothing more than their brain waves.

Personal trainer and author Mike Matthews returns to talk about his newest release, Muscle for Life: Get Lean, Strong, and Healthy at Any Age! . Best known for his book Bigger Leaner Stronger and its female-focused counterpart Thinner Leaner Stronger —both released in 2014—Mike has now trained his focus onto longevity for both men and women in their 40s and above who are relatively new to strength training. Mike is a staunch promoter of making fitness a lifestyle instead of a program. In his own words: "Instead of a 30-day plan, I want to show people how to create a 30-year plan." Creating that 30-year plan for yourself requires going back to basics. Mike invokes the 80/20 rule, in which 80% of outcomes come from 20% of causes. The rule certainly applies to fitness, where a few fundamental principles—four in particular—can be responsible for the majority of results. Those four fundamental principles, which he dives into in today's conversation, are controlling your calories , eating a high-protein diet , consuming relatively nutritious and unprocessed foods , and working out three-to-six hours a week . Asked for his overall view of the role of fitness in one's life, Mike says, "I try not to make fitness my life, an end unto itself." Instead, he looks at fitness as a tool that he uses in service of the things that really matter, such as relationships and career.

Maxx and Chase return to talk about their ten-plus year journey in the world of fitness. The younger Chewning kicks things off by reflecting on his love for fitness. He only started lifting after he was spurred on by his bros in college to hit the gym. It didn't take long for Maxx's total disinterest to turn into a daily non-negotiable. "It was something that I made fun of, then got into. It literally changed my entire life." Now over a decade into the game, Maxx looks back at the many accomplishments he's garnered as a powerlifter. He says he's just about ready to retire from powerlifting now that he's on the verge of hitting numbers that few at his age and in his weight class have matched. Overall, Maxx and Chase agree that community has become a stronger priority over hitting PR after PR. Maxx shares how he aims to approach his gym sessions moving forward.

Jonathan de Potter is the Founder of Behold Retreats, a health and wellness platform that provides holistic plant medicine programs in beautiful, conscious, and soulful locations. He advocates unlocking true human potential by tapping into the inner self using holistic practices and plant medicine, a journey that stemmed from his desire to find his own life's purpose. In 2016, as an atheist confined in the corporate web, Jonathan took a year off from his full-time job for his first-ever plant medicine retreat in Peru. Humbled by the experience, he started spending more time researching plant medicine, and in the process, realized its connection with the human subconscious and how it helps embody life with more purpose and meaning. Today, he imparts this learning and wisdom as a healing facilitator to help transform the lives of many more people, unlike popular practice that consolidates knowledge into a product or periodic program. In today's conversation, Jonathan explores what it takes to master the journey of a true healer, including profound connection and surrendering for deeper exploration of the subconscious and conscious realms. Moreover, he intertwines science, culture, and the community's power to explain energetic interactions (that exist beyond your physical body) and talks about using plant-based medicines to intentionally release inherent trauma or lower-level energies to live a more conscious, content life. But what if your life is already free of the said trauma and is as happy as you know it? Is there a higher level of self you could experience? As Jonathan explains, there's a level beyond your present state of consciousness that involves greater trust and confidence in the universe; a life that serves not only you but also inspires the world outside you. That's where energetic healing has the potential to take you.

Heart rate variability, or HRV, is an essential parameter to measure your heart health and stress levels at any point. While a higher variability of the metric signals that your body can push past strenuous exercises some more, a lower measure is an indication that it needs a break. Today we explore identified ways to improve your HRV – and all that they demand of you are simple, conscious changes in your everyday habits. Chase uses his personal story and backable science to teach you 10 simple tips that improve HRV. Referencing Mark Van Deusen's article on Heart Rate Variability (Whoop), he touches on its nervous system origination, significance, stress impact, and applications so you can know why the HRV is a breakthrough metric for wellness. In addition, you'll learn about the body's regulatory processes of homeostasis and allostasis that are responsible for maintaining equilibrium despite internal and external changes (both central to your brain's stress handling mechanism). For those of you new to the whole HRV study or seeking some of the best toolset, supplements, and product recommendations to start with, Chase also shares the products he personally uses and how they help him in his wellness journey – do not forget to tune in!

Challenges suck, but needless to say, they're an inevitable part of life. Whether they're personal or professional, they can strike when you least expect them and leave you feeling helpless and adrift… forcing you into situations you'd have never imagined before. What does it take to pull yourself from back there? How do you not fall apart? This week, Chase sits with Casey Adams on The Casey Adams Show podcast to revisit his journey as an ex-military man, health coach, and established podcaster, explaining how he reinvented himself continually to chase his passion despite the problems. Burdened by a queue of stressors post his father's death, Chase battled with himself for years after the tragedy – physically, mentally, and emotionally, including an injury that led to reconstructive surgery in both his hips. The experience had a profound impact on his personal and professional life, and unexpectedly enough, turned it around for the better. Despite the odds, per his father's advice, Chase lives and advocates a life ever forward, one that's led by passion and a desire to do better. In this discussion, Chase breaks down his journey, explaining the pile-up of challenges and the succession of events that led him to the world of podcasts. Chase explains his uncompromising principles in life and how they've shaped his life's trajectory, the most important being a willingness to continually chase the next big thing and always show up. You'll also hear him break down invaluable podcasting lessons from his own experience – priceless advice from a thriving genius.

Matthew Paetz returns on Ever Forward Radio to share how he has been navigating the seemingly endless period of uncertainty brought about by the pandemic—particularly around how he has been striving to shift from being what he calls an "unconscious consumer" to being a "conscious creator". "I'm creating a life I've never had by doing things I've never done," says Matthew, adding that his focus has been on building on himself over his achievements . One of the major ways he has been doing this over the past 18 months is by immersing himself in the world of psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy as a modality for addressing trauma. Matthew defines these guided sessions as "medicines for the soul "—contrasting it with alcohol which he calls "medicine for the ego ". He then breaks down the development of our ego and how these sessions allow you to detach from that ego and see your life from a completely different perspective. "These medicines, in a guided session, would be the greatest gift I could give the entire world," says Matthew. He believes that, should the public embrace this gift, Western medicine as it pertains to mental health would be "eradicated" in a matter of months.

Alongside the world's top experts in the aging field, NOVOS has developed a line of supplements that promote longevity. Chris explains that our chronological age is entirely distinct from our biological age . Determining our biological age, he says, can tell us how well our body is functioning. As we age biologically, we increase the likelihood of developing diseases such as heart disease, osteoporosis, glaucoma, Parkinson's, Alzheimer's, dementia, and most forms of cancer. He discusses how we can track our own biological age and offers actionable advice on extending our lifespan by leveraging synergistic effects of the nine hallmarks of aging.

Joe DiStefano is a global authority on how to optimize wellness and longevity on the path to improving fitness and sports performance. After over 17 years of professional experience in the fitness industry, Joe has had the opportunity to coach some of the world's top athletes, instructed over 100 live events in 15+ countries, and spoken on the TED stage. In today's multifaceted discussion, Joe gives his thoughts on crossing the threshold between a life of survival and a life of thriving , as he explores the emotions that come with survival (ex. shame, fear, guilt, etc.) and those virtues that allow one to thrive (ex. Love, humility, selflessness, etc.). In particular, Joe addresses the true nature of shame and how its destructive effects manifest themselves even before we engage in the thing that we perceive will bring us shame. "Whatever we think," he says, "we basically receive." He shares his personal rituals that have helped him break out of and steer clear of the trap of negativity, including ice baths and stream-of-consciousness writing. By rubbing up against the threshold of discomfort, says Joe, the mind and body develops a higher tolerance for pain. Finally, Joe explains why it's more important today than ever before to surround yourself with circles of influence and constellations of support .

Dr. Sara Gottfried, MD is the Director of Precision Medicine at the Marcus Institute of Integrative Health at Thomas Jefferson University. Her work in precision medicine involves tracking data flows via wearables for her patients, who range from corporate executives to professional athletes. Initially developed as a medical model for cancer research, precision medicine is now being used more broadly, beyond oncology, as a highly personalized approach to treating patients. The data streams that Dr. Gottfried pools include biomarkers such as blood, urine, hormones, and cellular micronutrients. She also relies on genomic testing, an important factor when it comes to performance, recovery, and determining risk of injury. Another reference is data sets from wearables themselves (ex. WHOOP , Apple Watch, Garmin, Oura Ring, etc.). "Precision medicine," says Dr. Gottfried, "is pulling together all those data streams so that we can personalize what is true for you."

In today's conversation, John Wolf shares a journey that saw him emerge from the depths of grief and loss to undergo a holistic transformation that ultimately led him to be the Chief Fitness Officer at Onnit. Having lost many of the people closest to him early in his life, John quickly found himself descending down a path of drug addiction. He talks about the years of inner work that he did (and continues to do) to maintain his self-worth, as well as the outer work he underwent to rebuild his body and indirectly build stronger belief systems as a result. John rediscovered his passion for fitness and martial arts down the road. Trading one "addiction" for another, John saw exercise as a way to continually reforge and optimize not only his body, but his entire being. In training his clients at Onnit, John uses an approach he calls "conscious coaching" that leads them into a state of flow "where skill and effort intersect." To John, "ever forward" is a matter of maintaining this flow , of staying laser-focused on your purpose while staying receptive to continuous learning and growth.

Studies show that, when performing any given task, we're giving our attention to that task only half the time. Yet, as our guest explains, this is by design . Because we are overwhelmed with information (i.e. senses) every time we make a decision, our brains pay attention to be able to home in on the most important information we need at that particular moment. Listen in as Dr. Amisha Jha does a deep dive into the nature of attention and the three factors that contribute to (and deplete) our "attentional gas tank". She explains how to cultivate a peak mind through mindfulness practices, and even shares the 12-minute daily exercise anybody can do to embody the same state of mindfulness as that of special operators in the military. Dr. Amishi Jha is a professor of psychology at the University of Miami and the author of Peak Mind . She serves as the Director of Contemplative Neuroscience for the Mindfulness Research and Practice Initiative, which she co-founded in 2010.

In this solo episode, Chase gives his thoughts on ketamine-assisted psychotherapy and his own life-changing sessions as Field Trip Health. It was through the various studies conducted through Field Trip Health that Chase was truly exposed to the world of ketamine and its enhancing benefits to the psychotherapeutic process. What was especially impactful for him was learning about the almost curative effects of psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy on servicemembers suffering from PTSD, severe anxiety, and depression. After sifting through the research as well as hearing from the actual healthcare professionals working at Field Trip Health, Chase came to the conclusion that psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy is the future of healthcare as a whole, considering the trajectory of your life is largely downstream from your mental health. Listen in as Chase offers his advice to those who, like himself, are exploring the world of psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy and why he believes so strongly in leaning into what feels right on your unique wellness journey. He reflects back on his two, incredibly profound ketamine sessions at Field Trip Health, and how those two sessions gave Chase "years of [therapy] work in about an hour."

Do you ever wonder why we exist here on planet Earth? With all the pressure and messaging from society and religion to be a certain way, have nice things, make more money, and reach a certain status, it's often hard for us to realize the essence of being human, which is that our worth and power lie within us. Best-selling author Doug Cartwright has learned that "if you're using something external to solve an internal problem, you're never going to get fulfilled." The truth is, you're worthy of infinite love, peace, and joy just because you're alive. Your worth is not dependent on anything but your existence. That's kind of a relief, isn't it? Though getting to a place where you're living a deep, rich, meaningful life isn't an easy journey, it's a journey worth embarking on. So… Holy Shit, We're Alive… Now What?

Ronan Levy is a pioneer in the therapeutic psychedelics industry. He is the Founder and Executive Chairman of Field Trip Health. With centres opening across North America, Field Trip Health helps people to heal and heighten their engagement with the world via the healing modality of psychedelics. "There's doubt about it. We are in a psychedelic renaissance," says Ronan, referring to the recent dramatic realignment of mainstream views around traditional medicine. Calling it "a massive change in the global zeitgeist", this paradigm shift goes beyond health and wellness, reflecting a change in how we view emotions and even spirituality. Contributing heavily to this revolution is the mental health crisis that had already been on the rise for years but was further aggravated by the pandemic for the past year-and-a-half. Citing "significant humanitarian and economic implications", Ronan says that "depression and anxiety disorders are going to become the leading global burden of disease, meaning they will cost the global economy more than any other disease out there, primarily from lost productivity." With these realities in mind, Ronan dives deep into the history, science, and psychological and pro-social benefits of psychedelic-assisted therapy . He speaks on the common, decades-long misconceptions surrounding this subject, and the groundbreaking research done on ketamine and psilocybin that, if rediscovered in the world of conventional medicine, may become a key factor in eradicating not just the current mental health crisis, but many of the social and environmental ills we face today as well.

With more and more research emerging around the long-term risks associated with traditional over-the-counter brands, says Nina Mullen, "we're at a specific moment where mainstream consumers are more aware of the risks and just want to find holistic solutions." She adds that not only naturopathic doctors, but even conventional medical professionals are starting to take notice of these disconcerting trends associated with Big Pharma. Nina is the Co-Founder of Hilma. The brand was launched in 2019 with three products, each of which covers its own unique category: 1) An immune support blend; 2) An upset stomach relief for occasional heartburn, antacid, and digestion; and 3) A head tension relief. Natural, clean label products have taken center-stage in virtually every consumer category, from consumables, beauty, household cleaners, and personal care. However, the medicine cabinet continues to be stuck in the past with most being stocked with the usual OTC legacy brands like Airborne, Emergen-C, or Tums. Hilma aims to disrupt this area by introducing preventative, long-term, and all-natural herbal options for everyday health needs to the mainstream consumer.

Our outer world is a direct reflection of our inner world, and optimal health is all about adopting the right habits that support those two worlds. It all starts with the self-awareness and openness to change embodied in Ayurvedic medicine. It's a healing system which teaches us that change is an intrinsic quality in nature, and so why shouldn't we see that reality of continuous change in ourselves? In other words, Ayurveda teaches us to turn to nature for wisdom on how we, as human beings, should discern what's best for our life. When we experience symptoms of any kind, whether internally or externally, it is an indicator that we are not in harmony with the world around us, or with ourselves. From how we've been eating and sleeping to how we've been managing our relationships and career—all of these things either support or weaken our health. Listen in and learn how we can adopt the principles of Ayurveda to take full control over our life and achieve optimal health. Dr. Avanti is an internationally recognized speaker and thought leader in Ayurveda. She works with women (and men) who are ready to take back their health and replenish their mental, physical, and emotional energy so they can live a vibrant life filled with more joy, meaning and purpose.

Today's conversation is a sobering deep dive into the highly controversial but crucial subject that is the COVID-19 vaccine, featuring Jonathan Baktari MD. Dr. Baktari is the CEO of e7 Health, a Las Vegas-based company focused on preventative health and wellness. He kicks off the conversation with a high-level explanation of exactly what a vaccine is . The goal of a vaccine, he says, is to take advantage of the immune system's strengths by "tricking" the body. The body is injected with a portion of a germ, whether that germ is a virus or bacteria. The dose is small enough to get the body to detect the germ, thereby training the immune system to become efficient at fighting it while minimizing the damage it could have done to the body if the germ were "whole". Dr. Baktari and Chase go on to unpack the trickiest questions the world is now faced with as in navigating the ever-evolving COVID-19 crisis—from how to interpret official data, to the issue of personal freedom versus the common good, to the under-addressed and overlooked public health issue that is a lack of education on prevention .

Science shows us that sex and intimacy are some of the most bonding human experiences of our lives. So… what happens when religion gets thrown into the mix? Kat Harris is here to have an eye-opening discussion about boundaries, consent, monogamy, infidelity, shame, and most prominently, waiting until marriage to have sex. After growing up in the south as a Christian in the peak of the purity movement, Kat moved to New York City and noticed that her thoughts about sex and singleness began to change. She began to question the word of God and why she'd been waiting until marriage to have sex. As more and more women of faith become burdened with sexual shame, feeling unequipped to confidently explore both the dating world and the world of singleness, Kat is on a mission to free them of their shackles and help them discover their own sexual freedom.

Having been diagnosed with Bipolar Disorder Type 2 at the age of 20, Scout Sobel dropped out of college, couldn't keep a job, and struggled to function as a part of society. It wasn't until she found entrepreneurship a few years later that she found a purpose and a drive to be productive, creative, and take control of her life. Now, Scout Sobel is the Author of The Emotional Entrepreneur , Host of the Okay Sis Podcast, and Founder of Scout's Agency.

Andrea Owen is a life-coach who helps high-achieving women let go of perfectionism, control, and isolation and choose courage and confidence instead. She is known for her signature platform, "Your Kick-Ass Life", which began in 2008 as a blog on all things women's empowerment, before expanding it into a suite of educational tools such as podcasts and books. Andrea is the author of 52 Ways to Live a Kick-Ass Life (2013), How to Stop Feeling Like Sh*t (2018), and, most recently, Make Some Noise: Speak Your Mind and Own Your Strength (2021). Listen in as Andrea talks about the anger that motivated her to write Make Some Noise —driven by her belief that there is still so much to do in the realm of women's empowerment in the 2020s, and that true change begins when women gain the courage to make some noise at the individual level. She also gives her thoughts on what men can do to contribute to this cultural shift and why different lived experiences between males and females can actually serve as a bridge rather than a divide towards equality.

When actress Noel Elie was diagnosed with Lyme disease, she decided not to rely on mainstream medicine but instead opted to utilize alternative treatment modalities, beginning with plant therapy. For Noel, her very first introduction to plant medicine through microdosing psilocybin and ayahuasca served as an amazing gateway into her journey toward holistic healing. "I don't look at it as being defiant ; I look at it as being curious ," says Noel, speaking on her decision to look the other way despite her doctors' advice at the outset of her diagnosis. Noel describes the painful letting-go process that followed when she realized that she and her husband had to find a new home after testing the house for mold, and how this process helped her become more intentional about her health and possessions. Finally, Noel touches on the power of intuition and how to surrender yourself to it when faced with a decision.

Joe Percoco is the Co-Founder and Co-CEO of Titan, which he refers to as "a premier investment firm, but for everyone." Titan is Joe's response to Wall Street's reputation for catering almost exclusively to the ultra-wealthy. His team is dedicated to the long-term growth of investors' capital by following their "time-tested investment philosophy: identifying the rare species of stocks known as "compounders" and holding on tight." Listen in as Joe offers some high-level wisdom on the world of finance and why it's crucial to think like an owner instead of a gambler in the investment world. Asked about the necessity of risk in the investment world, Joe refers to the well-known saying: "Ships weren't meant to stay in the harbor." Hard-earned cash is not meant to be stuffed under your bed. Anybody who wants to grow their wealth has to take risks in the market. In fact, adopting this attitude toward investing forges a mindset that sees opportunity even in a downturn in the economy. It is a mindset that gets you to say, "Let's deploy every ship we've got ashore, because this is an amazing time to buy and invest." Joe also explains Titan's unique vision-mission as an investment firm and his expectations for the future of the industry.

Ryan Kelley is the Founder and President of The Home Loan Expert, which he built from the ground-up, with zero capital, in the middle of the Great Recession in 2008. Today, the company is one of the fastest-growing direct mortgage lenders in the country. Asked how he did it, Ryan says that, from the very beginning he simply put his focus on anything but profit and never taking his foot off the gas, even as he began to experience growth. In an industry typically characterized by greed, The Home Loan Expert found tremendous success by running in the opposite direction and paying it forward. Ryan speaks on the initiatives that fuel his passion for what he does. His love for the outdoors inspired him to establish The Keep Climbing Foundation, which initially came from an idea between him and his friends to climb mountains to raise money for childhood cancer. Today, the foundation supports a variety of causes that are in need of financial support and awareness. Having missed out on the opportunity to serve in the military, Ryan was driven to create Hero Loan, a program that shortens the turnaround time to complete a VA home loan—from up to 60 days down to as little as 14 days.

For transgender activist Precious Brady-Davis, her turning point came when she realized that she had to love herself first before she would be able to open her heart and attract those who could truly love her. "People can't give you what you don't have.", she says. Having grown up in the Pentecostal faith, she recalls her seemingly endless struggle with being othered by her own religious circle for being a biracial, gender-nonconforming kid. But the same "neglect, instability, and abandonment" that she experienced daily as a child only fueled her determination to find acceptance—even if it meant stepping away from her faith community. Her journey led her to become what she is today: "A trans woman fully actualized, absolutely confident, and precious ." She lives with her husband Myles—who is transmasculine—and infant daughter Zayn. In July 2021, Precious released her memoir, I Have Always Been Me , in which she looks back on 35 years that began with immense trauma, and how she was able to turn it all around.

In this solo episode, Chase breaks down the exact protocol and the results he experienced after one whole month of using psilocybin. Chase's first experience with psychedelics began in the Fall of 2020. But medicinal mushrooms have been a vital part of his nutritional routine for half a decade prior dipping into the hallucinogenic variety. This is thanks in large part to Shawn Stevenson of The Model Health Show who promoted the scientifically proven wonders of lion's mane, reishi, and cordyceps, among other varieties of functional mushrooms. Listen in as Chase dives deep into his two-day-on, one-day-off microdosing schedule, the exact ingredients each dose consisted of, and the impact of this protocol to his physiological and mental faculties.

Cal Callahan is the host of The Great Unlearn podcast, on which he dives into unlearning and questioning what the world taught us, and—in the process—how to be the truest version of yourself, minus the bullshit. Chase and Cal kick things off with a discussion on parenting, with Cal disavowing the oft-quoted saying, "There's no such thing as a bad kid; just a bad parent." There was a time he believed it, but not anymore. He now insists that parenting is about showing up for your kids while allowing them to experience the fullness of life. It's about setting appropriate boundaries but never beating yourself up when your children stray on occasion. "I'm not doing this because I want to be a cool dad," says Cal. "I'm doing it because I want this kid to have his own experience. And I want to show him that I trust him and I trust his judgement." And just as Cal had to unlearn everything he thought he knew about raising kids, so too did he have to forgo many of his beliefs about how to live his own life. Listen in as Cal dares us to question our belief system, to figure out whether our beliefs are really ours or someone else's, or to simply discover whether or not we've been BSing ourselves all our lives. He invites us on a journey back into our body, where we're able to put our trust in our hearts over our minds. Finally, he challenges us to continue loving our wounded selves even as we unlearn our old paradigms and step into a new phase of knowing . Follow Cal @cal.callahan Follow Chase @chase_chewning Key Highlights Cal reflects on how he was forced to reevaluate his "picture-perfect" existence when he found himself fearing for his life during the 2017 Las Vegas shooting.

In 2012, Ken Cook, President of Environmental Working Group (EMG) presented a 22-minute talk called "10 Americans". In it, he shares EMG's research on ten individuals across the country to determine how dependent a person's toxic load was on where they lived. What they found was that these ten Americans had over 200 cancer-causing chemicals in them that could potentially lead to infertility, thyroid problems, and autoimmune conditions. Other than the toxins themselves, there was only one commonality shared by every individual in this study: All ten of these Americans were still in the womb. A decade later, we're being barraged by more harmful chemicals in our everyday lives than ever before. What can we do to start lowering our "toxic bucket" today? Dr. Mindy Pelz, DC is a holistic health and fasting expert. Her tips on fasting and alternative health can be found on her YouTube channel as well as the podcast she founded and hosts, The Resetter Podcast. Dr. Pelz is the author of three bestselling books The Menopause Reset , The Reset Factor , and The Reset Kitchen. Dr. Pelz is also the founder of Family Life Wellness (formerly Family Life Chiropractic), a biohacking center in the Bay Area focused on speeding up the healing process and maximizing performance. Listen in as Dr. Pelz shares how to lower your toxic bucket in the modern world, how fasting can nip chronic disease in the bud, why experiencing symptoms such as fever or mucus buildup is actually your body's innate healing mechanism in action, and why addressing immunocompromisation is far more important to ending the pandemic than vaccines and lockdowns. Follow Dr. Pelz @dr.mindypelz Follow Chase @chase_chewning Key Highlights Toxins are seeping into our environment and into our bodies, contributing to rising infertility. What exactly are the reasons for this alarming rise in infertility? What is our "toxic bucket" and how do we keep it low as we live our day-to-day lives? Dr. Pelz explains how fasting can overcome the toxins that barrage us daily and contribute to weight loss, mental energy, clarity, and sleep.

What makes collagen such a unique protein and why should you care? For starters, collagen is the most abundant protein in your body, making up about a third of your body's protein composition. It's known as the "glue" that holds everything together, and once you hit 25, your body's ability to create collagen begins to weaken; hence the "aches and pains" of old age. But it doesn't have to be this way. Today's guest, Charlie Bailes, says that he is in better shape at 34 than he was at 24, mainly thanks to incorporating more collagen into his diet. But what really opened his eyes to the power of collagen was its healing effect on his daughter Vivian, who at 1-and-a-half years old, routinely became sick. After introducing collagen into her diet (alongside other healthy lifestyle choices such as cutting out gluten, vegetable oils, and sugar), Vivian, who was told by multiple pulmonologists that she would be on an inhaler for the rest of her life, now only uses her inhaler about two times a year. Collagen had changed the lives of Charlie and his family, and he wanted to pay it forward. In 2018, Charlie started CB Supplements, founded on the three pillars of premium product , education , and customer appreciation .

"It all begins with creating a foundation of healthy habits which can lead to long-term wellness." Eric Champ is a Marine Corps veteran who currently owns and operates Champ City Holistic Fitness and a 14-by-7 mobile gym. He is living his passion, but it didn't come overnight. In fact, there was a point in his life when Eric didn't even know if he would live to see the day he turned 40 years old. While in the Marine Corps, holistic health and wellness was the last thing on Eric's list of priorities. He partied almost every night, loved his drink, and eventually ballooned up to over 250 pounds. He knew deep inside that something was horribly wrong with his lifestyle, but he never could never admit it just because he was too afraid to face himself. But the day inevitably came when Eric had to come to terms with what was happening, when he had to engage in "that showdown with myself". He made a fateful decision, while gazing at his deteriorating body in front of the mirror, that he would turn his life around. That decision, coupled with his wife Katie's determination to keep him accountable, drove Eric to keep his eyes firmly rooted on his new path. The next morning, Eric grabbed his shorts, headed to the YMCA down the road, and walked a mile on the treadmill. And so began a journey that would later inspire him to launch a fitness platform that would quickly grow into a thriving worldwide business.

With gyms and other fitness establishments finally opening up, how do we get back on track and move forward in an industry that has transformed in so many ways? Krysta is a certified personal trainer and nutrition coach who is the founder of The Fitness FYX brand and the FYX Studio platform.

She explains the double-edged sword that is the ease of becoming certified as a coach nowadays. She says that this means personal accountability has become one of the biggest keys to breaking through the noise as a trainer—especially boutique ones like herself. Krysta says that trainers now have the responsibility to perform a self-audit to ensure continuous improvement in their specialties.

One of the great attributes of masculine energy is that it pushes us forward—it drives us to advance in a positive direction. But without self-esteem backing up that masculine energy, we may still be able to move forward, but in a negative direction. In today's episode, Angelo Sisco of Alpha Hippie talks all things manhood and the oftentimes elusive road to unlocking the professional man within you. So many of us are obsessed with blazing a trail that, when we look back, we realize we've forgotten our heart. On the other hand, there are those of us who live in our hearts and their thoughts without ever taking action. Listen in as Angelo explains why the first step to embracing your masculinity is actually in nurturing your feminine energy (or what he calls "grace"). He tells us that the lack of understanding and, by extension, the inadequate integration of one's masculine and feminine energies is the cause for many of the issues we face in the world today.

"You can transition from just being aware of your chaotic and toxic thoughts to being empowered to catch these thoughts in their early stages, manage them. From there, you can improve your overall peace and wellbeing." Dr. Caroline Leaf is a communication pathologist and cognitive neuroscientist who for almost 40 years has been doing research into the mind-brain connection, the nature of mental health, and the formation of memory. Dr. Leaf is the host of the podcast Cleaning Up Your Mental Mess and the author of the book Cleaning Up Your Mental Mess: 5 Simple, Scientifically Proven Steps to Reduce Anxiety, Stress, and Toxic Thinking . We talk in-depth about the book in today's conversation. Her overall message? You are not your brain . Your mind, in fact, controls your neurophysiology. When you understand your mind, you can begin to drive change in your brain and in your body. It's all under your control. She says that, contrary to popular belief, emotional and even physiological symptoms that result from stress are not the result of an irreversibly "broken" brain. Rather, it's a question of your paradigms or the narrative lens that you see the world through. "Because our brain is neuroplastic and we make a million new cells every second, we have a lot of power to influence and change" the stories we tell ourselves.

Being grateful for the cards you were dealt from birth—whether you label them as "good" or "bad"—is the key to thriving in life despite the challenges (whether physical, mental, emotional, spiritual, etc.) unique to you. That gratitude allows you to contribute some good to the world because you're pouring from an overflowing reservoir. But if your perspective is that of lack and resentfulness, your reservoir is depleted; and then your chances of contributing any good to the world are nil . Today's guest, Courtney Turner, believes that everyone has the ability to shape their destiny, and it starts with discovering that potential in you. "A lot of the time," says Courtenay, "when people are filled with despair or depression or anxiety, it's a lack of hope . And lack of hope stems from feeling like you have no control over your future. But the truth is, we don't know what the future holds." By remembering the things that we have overcome or succeeded at in the past, we can pinpoint our strengths, be grateful for them, and then use those gifts to chart a brighter path going forward.

"Let's put less emphasis on losing 10, 20, 30 pounds and more on what hot , healthy , and confident mean to you." This is the motto that Lauren Hubert decided to embody as 2021 rolled out. But getting to the point where she could proclaim and live out this mindset for herself was a journey plagued with doubt and insecurity. After gaining nearly 20 pounds as a freshman at Florida State University, Lauren was determined to shed the weight and regain her self-confidence. Unfortunately, she ended up going down a destructive path defined by hours of running, an extreme calorie deficit, and closing herself off from all social events for fear of getting tempted to eat the "wrong" foods. It took a couple of years studying to become a registered dietician before Lauren realized just how toxic her mindset toward health and wellness was up till then.

Statistics show that the majority of Americans are now obese, in spite of the fact the fitness industry is bigger today than at any other point in time. Sal Di Stefano of Mind Pump Media dives deep into this alarming disconnect and goes through the laundry list of issues that emerge as a result of poor health both on an individual level and on a society level. In 2021, Sal published the book The Resistance Training Revolution , which details his observations and lessons learned after over 20 years in the fitness world. Frustrated at how the industry has failed to adequately address an obesity crisis that only continues to get worse, Sal wrote the book to tackle some of the common myths and misconceptions around health and fitness. In particular, he hopes to change the mainstream paradigm regarding resistance training, which he believes is "the best form of exercise to burn fat, boost metabolism, and achieve health benefits you cannot obtain from other forms of exercise." "I made the book to specifically focus on trying to get people to adopt a form of exercise that has now been proven through study, but also one that I've seen through experience to be the most effective form of exercise for all of the health problems that we tend to run into in modern society—everything from obesity to diabetes to dementia to Alzheimer's to loss of mobility to hormone issues. I'm trying to change the stigma that surrounds this form of exercise." Sal goes on to explain why cardio and tracking calories burned during exercise are two of the worst things to focus on when trying to lose weight. He then gives his thoughts on the dangers of the "self love" trend and why you should never conflate "self image" with "body image".

Chase and May are joined today by Kara and Caleb Campbell. Kara is a celebrity event planner and human connection facilitator, and Caleb is a West Point graduate, former US Army officer, former NFL player, and former US Olympic bobsled athlete. Today, Chase, May, Kara, and Caleb talk all things relationships and the importance and necessity of continuous growth and maintaining a space for you to thrive in. They speak on how this all allows for the introduction of deep, meaningful relationships into your life as well as the strengthening of the relationships you already have. They also dive deep into emotional honesty as being fundamental to progression (or regression, if you lack it). Emotional honesty, they say, serves as a guide that allows you to filter the friendships and other relationships that serve you from those that don't. That honesty also helps you accept the ease of falling in love and finding your person. Finally, they reflect on why your perspective of events, particularly challenging ones, is the key factor to your getting through them while taking away valuable lessons for growth. From the divine ambush , discover how you can turn the holy frustration which follows into radical acceptance and, at last, go from there into sacred flow .

Wendy McCallum is a burnout and balance coach, author, and speaker. In this conversation, she recounts her own struggles dealing with a high-stress lifestyle in the past, as well as the common signs and symptoms of burnout. She offers practical tools that anyone can use to both recover from burnout and prevent it from happening again in the future. She talks about unhealthy coping mechanisms such as alcohol, food, and social media and how we can learn to rely less on these crutches and become more present. Wendy also gives her thoughts on the unique challenges that many of us experienced in 2020 and continue to face in 2021. One of her observations at the tail-end of the pandemic has been the emergence of a "third shift" in the lives of working professionals. If our "first shift" represents our actual career and our "second shift" refers to the people under our care—whether our children or aging parents—our new "third shift" is helping to orchestrate or manage schooling from home. This, of course, is on top of the overall anxiety all of us have felt in the past year-and-a-half. The pandemic and the resulting lockdowns have led to a significantly higher stress load on the average human being. Burnout is one of the symptoms of this stress. Whether one came into 2020 physically, mentally, and emotionally healthy, or already overworked, almost everybody has had to deal with exhaustion. (On the other hand, a very small minority—mainly business owners and employers—have found opportunities to become flexible and even more productive in their work.) Wendy reflects on her own experience with burnout and how she learned to create a life that she no longer needed to escape from.

"If we have a platform that allows us to account for the physiological and psychological variables that impact our performance, then we can effectively choose our level of performance at any given moment." Kristen Holmes is the Vice President of Performance Science at WHOOP, a platform that delivers personalized insights on your fitness, sleep, and recovery to you in real-time, effectively facilitating the connection between you and your body. According to Kristen, WHOOP allows us to apply our behaviors , because once we can understand, in a quantifiable way, why our body is performing the way it currently is, we then gain the confidence to be intentional in everything we do—from the sports we play to the daily routines we live out day-to-day. Ultimately, we're all just trying to be as engaged, present, and available as we can be, no matter the task at hand. To be able to track performance changes through data in real-time is a powerful way to pinpoint weaknesses, fill gaps, and adapt to environmental stressors. Listen in as Kristen does a deep dive into how personalized insights by WHOOP can help anybody, athlete or otherwise, to live their lives with more energy and joy. She also shares why it's not just the physiological parameters that influence our adaptive capacity; that the research indicates that the psychological component impacts us more profoundly than anything we can do physiologically.

As with any journey of self-improvement, weight loss starts and ends with mindset. "Stop thinking of food as 'good' or 'bad'," says today's guest, Carter Good. "There's just food and the context in which it is eaten." The struggle to form healthy nutrition and lifestyle habits comes down to the stories that you tell yourself around every decision you make, big or small. Carter himself attributes his past obesity to "using food as an emotional suppressant." Carter goes on to say, "It's really about reframing things and getting people to a place where they don't feel like they have to make better choices and they have to exercise, but that they get to do these things." Carter Good is a weight loss coach and the founder of the Leaner for Life community. He shares the story of how he lost 100 pounds in eight months, and why the hardest part of his journey came only after he lost all that weight.

More often than not, out of our most challenging moments emerge our greatest opportunities. It took only 24 hours to turn young Logan Sneed's entire world upside down. A college athlete and aspiring entrepreneur, a stage-4 brain cancer diagnosis was the last thing Logan ever expected at that point in his life. But that's exactly what happened following a near-accident on the road when Logan blacked out while FaceTiming his girlfriend. Together with his strong-willed parents, Logan was able to connect with one of the most sought-after neurosurgeons in the world, who thankfully managed to extract the egg-sized tumor. But just when Logan thought he was in the clear, he was given ten years to live with no word of hope whatsoever. Even after receiving his "death sentence", Logan soldiered on, determined to find a solution. He found it when a long-time mentor encouraged him to take up the ketogenic diet, which at the time was still widely unheard of. Logan went all-in and not only found a new lease on life, but also decided to share his experiences with the world on social media. In spite of a barrage of haters who doubted his story and the legitimacy of his so-called "keto diet", there were enough people who were inspired by his journey for Logan to realize that he could monetize his growing brand. Even this wasn't the end of Logan's trials. Listen in as he describes the lowest point in his journey so far—even beyond the diagnosis—as well as his betrayal at the hands of a man he once called "mentor". But Logan also shares why, when all is said and done, cancer was the greatest thing that ever happened to him , having led him down the path to discovering his purpose and impacting thousands of lives (and rapidly counting) for the better.

Up till only a few years ago, Sean and Dala McDevitt never saw themselves leading a fast-growing community of wellness enthusiasts with 19 coaches on staff that has led to over 2800 people completely transforming their lives. The couple had always had a passion for health and fitness (they actually met at a gym) even back when they worked traditional jobs (Sean was in sales and marketing, and Dala was a labor and delivery nurse). In 2016, Dala set up her Instagram profile @dalalovesdumbbells to share how she found and healed herself through fitness, with the hope of inspiring and elevating others as well. Monetizing the brand was not on her radar; that is, until her budding community began referring to themselves with the hashtag #DLDNation. Two years later, Sean and Dala decided to quit full-time employment to fully dedicate themselves to #DLDNation. There was nothing easy about both Sean and Dala leaving their traditional career and plunging headfirst into the world of entrepreneurship; specifically in the health and wellness coaching space. What's more, neither Sean nor Dala were "certified" trainers or nutritionists. Listen in as the McDevitts go down memory lane and speak on lessons learned since their life-changing decision to become online trainers exclusively through the #DLDNation brand, including how they navigated the many challenges of running a coaching business brought on by the pandemic.

John Malanca was inspired to start United Patients Group in 2011 after a totally unexpected episode when his father-in-law Stan was diagnosed with Stage 4 lung cancer along with a brain tumor on his brain stem. The situation seemed hopeless, seeing their father going from being a seemingly healthy 77-year-old one day, to being given a mere two weeks to live the next. "When you're diagnosed," says John, recalling those moments of desperation, "you'll try anything." That "anything", as fate would have it, was cannabis . They started by giving Stan THC capsules infused with coconut oil in order to get him to start eating again. It worked. A day later, he was back at work on a computer. Nine months after the diagnosis, John's family got an email that simply stated " no evidence of recurrent disease. " That was in 2011. Today, Stan is alive and well. Listen in as John shares the exciting journey that emerged out of that harrowing experience. He describes the many benefits of the cannabis plant and, by extension, naturopathic modalities, and how these can help bring the body back to homeostasis.

"I don't know any guy who grew up dreaming of starting a male fertility company," says today's guest, Khaled Kteily, before proceeding to share the story of why he, in fact, decided to do just that. "There are moments in your life that sometimes take you down unexpected paths." Khaled's own unexpected path began with a freak accident in Tulsa, Oklahoma during his time as a health and life sciences consultant. One day, after a coffee run during a road trip with colleagues, the car was forced to do a sudden break, causing the scalding hot beverages to spill all over Khaled's lap. His skin was ripped clean off and he suffered second-degree burns that took a month-and-a-half to heal. Months later, a close friend of Khaled's found out he had cancer, and so he froze his sperm before beginning a chemotherapy process that would likely leave him infertile. Inspired, Khaled visited a sperm bank to do the same. Frustrated by the awkward and clinical process involved in sperm freezing, alongside the alarming lack of conversations around declining male fertility rates, Khaled sought to make a change. This was the spark that led to the founding of Legacy in 2018 and its release of the first product which allows men to test and freeze their sperm in the comfort of their own home, and obtain personalized recommendations based on their results.

Born from the aches and pains that come with the territory for every professional athlete, Beam was co-founded by Matt Lombardi and Kevin Moran.

In this conversation, Matt and Kevin go in-depth on what they call the "Beam 4"—the four pillars of health embodied by the Beam brand. These are balance , performance , recovery , and sleep . The Beam 4 was conceived out of the desire to cater to the needs of both professional athletes and the general wellness consumer. Listen in as Matt and Kevin explain how they developed Beam's current lineup of products. Some of the topics we cover include how they collect and interpret data, both quantitatively and qualitatively, to improve the efficacy of Beam's sleep product, dream ; how the focus , elevate , and clarity , products boost your energy without the crash; and why they decided to separate "recovery" and "sleep" into two different categories.

Every single one of our habits, good and bad, spring out of a thought process that has been (and continues to be) molded and shaped by how we interpret our day-to-day experiences. If we want to change any negative aspect of our lives, whether it be around our physical or mental health, how we communicate with others, or manage our time or money, it all starts with becoming self-aware of our own deep-seated beliefs and paradigms, then reframing our interpretation of the events that formed those beliefs and paradigms. Listen in as Taylor Ellis shares how to nip destructive habits in the bud by catching negative thoughts as they come, and how to establish habits that are in alignment with the identity of the person that we want to be. She talks about her previous struggles with an eating disorder and how she turned memories of her darkest days into inspiration for a brighter tomorrow.

There's been a rising trend in recent years of using technology to better understand and optimize the human body. Through these tools we track, tweak, and train not only our wellness but also our ability to perform, and even use these tools as a means to increase our lifespan. We can now do all these things through the lens of the "quantified self". Today's guest explains how his company, Hyperice, has taken the tools and technologies used by the world's most elite athletes and brought them to the masses to help them "warm up quicker, recover faster, and move better." Listen in as Jim Huether shares the approach Hyperice uses to continuously develop technology in order to more precisely meet the needs of the human body as we come to better understand how it functions. In particular, he touches on their new HyperSmart ecosystem which pulls activity data from their wearable devices and provides wholly personalized recommendations based on that data. He talks about how the technology guides users toward behavior change in the most natural, human way possible, as opposed to the overly restrictive, one-size-fits-all approach that many coaches take.

Relationships isn't normally the first word that pops to mind when we talk about food. Today's guest illustrates what it truly means to embody our relationship with food and defines "healthy eating" in terms that go way beyond calories, macros, and choosing so-called "good" foods. When we're in tune with what we're eating, food allows us to connect to ourselves, to other people, and to the world on a visceral and emotional level. Listen in as Kara Campbell shares how she came to embrace the connective power of food at an early age, just from sitting around the table with her family at dinner time every night. She explains how this evolved into the idea that dining with others and asking intentional questions leads to friends and strangers alike mirroring pieces of themselves back to one another through conversation. She then unpacks the topic of intuitive eating and why most people fail to reconnect to their bodies and simply trust that they know what they need . Kara then talks about how her upbringing within purity culture had a profoundly negative impact on her relationship with food and why women growing up in such an environment almost always have body image issues and destructive eating habits. Finally, Kara touches on why our body is our wisest teacher and the surprising benefits beyond the physical that one experiences once they are able to repair their relationship with food. Kara Elise Campbell is an embodiment coach who teaches women how to connect with their bodies and come back home to themselves.

What makes a good coach? How do you know how to pick the right one? What if you view success differently when it comes to your personal health and fitness? Coaches Alyssa and Christy are both very good at what they do and how they help their clients reach their goals but how they go about doing so is drastically different. Does that make one right and one wrong? In this episode, Chase mediates between the two online coaches using input from real, live human beings that are interested in coaching (some for a repeat experience) but have reservations about what will be expected of them, what the work will look like, and what goals are realistic based on their individual needs and unique backgrounds and lifestyles.

Savannah Lynx is a singer/songwriter and fitness model. In this conversation, she discusses how she successfully made the leap from the world of pageantry into music and entertainment. Savannah reflects on how singing and performance had always been her calling. She hearkens back to her college days at Fordham, remembering that "without music as the centerpoint of my life, I really lost it. I wasn't engaged in class. I wasn't excited. I wasn't working out. It was the keystone that put my life together and made me realize who I was and who I wanted to be." At the age of 21, she was inspired—to her parents' disappointment—to put her college education on hold, fly from New York to L.A., and pursue her music career seriously. Along the way, her ever-present passion for fitness helped her win the coveted titles of Miss Las Vegas International Model Search and Miss Swimsuit USA International. Listen in as Savannah dives deep into her mindset toward success in both her career and life as a whole. Aside from sharing what she loves about both listening to and making music, she also talks health, nutrition, and setting fitness goals not just for the sake of aesthetics, but for energy and longevity.

Niraj shares how he got into breathwork "by accident" after being diagnosed with a chronic illness in 2010 called ulcerative colitis that left him unable to leave his own home for almost a year. Determined to heal, he discovered Pranayama (breath) and the simple, basic breathing techniques that led to instant physiological changes in his own body. Listen in as Niraj explains how breathwork can "repattern the consciousness of the cells in your body" to distinguish stress and create a "thrive environment" within, bringing that reptilian part of your brain under your control.

Catharine is the founder and CEO of ENERGYbits , an algae-based nutrition snack company catering to both athletes and everyday health-conscious individuals who are looking for plant-based whole foods to fuel their brain and body with maximum nutrition, minimal processing, and zero sugar.

Like most former overweight kids, Phoebe Davis was initially motivated to lose weight for the sake of looking better; but along the way in her fitness journey, Phoebe discovered her calling to combine her passion for health and wellness with her growing career as a social media marketer.

For some time, she suffered through self-imposed extreme diet restrictions that inevitably led to binging episodes.

Barton Scott is a chemical engineer and nutritionist. In 2025, he founded Upgraded Formulas, a company offering a line of supplements "that are 100% bioavailable and are absorbed better by the body than any other brand on the market today." Our bodies, Barton claims, only "absorb about 25% or less" of most supplements on the market. This fact, he says, is less telling of what is and isn't in most of today's supplements and more of a reflection of how inefficient our bodies are at absorbing the nutrients in them. In fact, this inefficiency is only going to get worse for many as certain trends of modern living continue to wreak havoc on their gut health. From bad diets to excess drinking to living stressful lives, a variety of factors that too many people today are familiar with contribute to gut dysfunction. "Because of that," continues Barton, "I knew that trying to heal the gut was not going to be enough." Listen in as Barton reflects on the personal experiences which would lead to the founding of Upgraded Formulas. He also shares some hard-to-swallow pills regarding mineral deficiency and what we all need to focus on to fill common nutrient gaps.

Harvey Martin and Matt Arends of the MindStrong Project speak on the modalities used at the MindStrong Project, particularly heat and cold therapy, as tools that "bring you back to yourself faster", that help anybody recover and reach a refreshed state of consciousness in the most natural way possible. Their work, ultimately, is around helping a person, through their own physiology, take control. The MindStrong Project believes in "respecting the animal" in our humanity while exercising the power that puts us at the top of the food chain, namely "advancing our cognition". As Harvey and Matt explain, advancing our cognition tends to be prioritized at the expense of respecting the animal. Their team uses the modalities that they do in response to the environmental stressors of the modern world in an effort to prepare and allow the body to recover from those stressors. The MindStrong Project was founded in 2017 to shape the world of human performance by improving the physical, mental, and emotional capacities of top performers through tried-and-tested natural breath, movement, and mindset protocols. Their team of five combines foundational nature-based training with industry leading strength, movement, conditioning, and nutrition programs.

The secret to mindfulness, according to Yedda Stancil, is understanding that "beliefs are not who we are." She stresses the importance of self-awareness to be able to catch the thoughts that feed into our belief system, because our truths define neither us nor the people around us. Chase and Yedda look back on the evolution of their respective careers. They reflect on the various opportunities they've faced and the many challenges to their beliefs over time, and how these experiences gradually shaped their purpose and their truth—what Yedda calls "the awakening of my narrative." Yedda goes on to share how she works with clients looking to experience change by helping them bring to the surface those things that are already inside them—to help them realize that they are enough . Yedda Stancil is a consciousness coach and highly sought-after consultant for both individuals and organizations. She is the founder of Fantastically Fit!

Sam Visnic believes staying on the cutting edge is the key to FASTER results. Learning new techniques, research, & integrating the best approaches to both clinical massage therapy and movement re-education are essential to understanding pain. Sam is the founder of Release Muscle Therapy, where he provides pain relief through clinical massage and movement. He is also the owner of the Visnic Center For Integrated Health, whose focus is "on assisting clients with achieving the highest levels of health and vitality through an integrated approach." Sam began his career as a personal trainer at 19 during the fitness boom of the 1980s. He quickly found his niche in corrective exercise and decided to become a massage therapist subspecializing in neuromuscular therapist. He describes the trajectory of his career and his expertise in his field as ever-evolving as knowledge about the human body expands over time. He quips, "What happens is, the more you learn in this field, the more challenging your clients get." Sam explains how his approach progressed in the past two decades, from an initial perspective that was purely mechanistic in its view of the body to one that is entirely holistic—known as the Biopsychosocial model of pain assessment and treatment. His open-mindedness and relentless drive to learn as much as he can earned Sam the reputation of being the go-to guy for difficult cases among his peers. Listen in as Sam shares why developing the ability to build rapport with clients can be a game-changer for anyone in his field, why hypnotherapy is "the next thing", how your brain controls how you feel pain independent from what's actually happening to your body, and how to rewire your mind to dismantle unproductive beliefs.

How do we not just train harder, but also maximize everything around it including the mind, body, and soul? This is the question that drives Jeff Byers, a former NFL player and the current CEO of Amp Human, which offers innovative products that help athletes push the limits on their performance, adaptation, and recovery. With an interest in both sports and entrepreneurship from an early age, Jeff always harbored an interest in finding creative ways to push his boundaries for growth as a human. "I was always thinking about the little things I could do to get better," he says. "I tried to use my brain to work smarter than always just work harder." After retiring from the NFL, Jeff worked for a few years in the finance space before joining an early-stage biotech startup in late 2015. This company had discovered a way to deliver pharmaceuticals through the skin, bypassing the GI system which often limits the body's ability to optimally absorb vitamins and minerals taken orally. Not long after joining the company, Jeff and one of his partners developed a broad vision for a business offering products specifically formulated to optimize human performance, a space in which they saw, at the time, a huge gap in the market. Listen in as Jeff talks all things human performance and optimization and why he refers to it as a "broad spectrum". He also discusses the benefits of Amp Human's flagship product, PR Lotion, and its newly released D+ Lotion.
