Health, Happiness, Planet

Today’s guest is Gary Te Roller, a DNA nutritionist who blends modern science, functional health, and ancestral practices.His whole approach is pretty different. Where most people add more supplements, more protocols, more “fixes”, Gary works the other way around. He looks at things like genetic analysis, blood chemistry, even Ayurvedic assessment, to strip away what’s actually getting in the way so the body can do what it’s designed to do.His path into this wasn’t straightforward. He went through a tough period in his life, including addiction, and that’s what pushed him to question everything around health and the way we approach it. That turned into over a decade of studying what actually works, not what’s trending or being sold, but what the research really says when you look a bit deeper.His philosophy is simple: stop fixing, start aligning.In this episode, we talk about his journey, what functional health really means, and why he thinks modern healthcare often misses the bigger picture. We also get into things likeenvironmental toxins, different types of stress, how to better align with your body day to day, and even things like personalized sleep and simple habits that actually move the needle.So, let’s get into it and welcome Gary Teroller. Timestamps: 02:15 Gary's Journey: From Corporate to Health Advocate.07:10 Overcoming Addiction: A Personal Transformation.09:00  The Start of a New Journey: Running and Health.12:05 Understanding DNA Nutrition: The Science Behind It.16:25 Defining Functional Health: A New Perspective.20:00 The Flaws in Modern Healthcare: A Critical Analysis.32:25 The Impact of Environmental Toxins on Health.34:00 Understanding Different Types of Stress.41:40 Aligning with Nature for Better Health.44:15 Three Daily Habits for Optimal Well-being.47:40 Personalized Sleep Approaches.49:55 Services Offered by Gary. 53:15 Defining Happiness in a Stressful World. Books mentioned in the conversation:“The Comfort Crisis” by Michael Easter Where to find Gary Teroller:Website: https://www.garyteroller.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/gary_teroller/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@garyteroller Where to find Claire Sharryn Roberto:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/clairesharrynroberto/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@clairesharrynroberto/ Where to find Juan and Wave Business Excellence Footprint:</

Today I’m really excited to welcome Rip Esselstyn to the Health, Happiness & Planet podcast.Rip is a former professional triathlete and firefighter who turned a simple idea inside his Texas firehouse into a global movement. What began as an effort to help his fellow firefighters improve their health grew into the Engine 2 lifestyle and eventually into PLANTSTRONG, his company dedicated to making whole-food, plant-based eating accessible, practical, and convenient for families everywhere.But Rip’s story is about more than food. It’s about leadership, consistency, and living what you believe. Plant-based living runs deep in the Esselstyn family. His father, Caldwell Esselstyn, is a pioneer in the prevention and reversal of heart disease and I had the pleasure of speaking with him on a previous episode number 37 of this podcast. Rip has been featured on national television, appeared in the documentary Forks Over Knives, and served as executive producer of The Game Changers, helping challenge long-held myths about meat, protein, and strength. Through his books, his podcast, retreats, coaching programs, and the PLANTSTRONG food line, he continues to make plant-based living practical and accessible.At the heart of it all, Rip’s message is simple: health doesn’t have to be complicated. When we align our daily habits with what our bodies are designed for: movement, real food, sunlight and connection-everything changes.And that’s exactly what we’re exploring in today’s conversation.Timestamps: 02:55 Introduction to Health, Happiness, and Planet.06:35 Rip's Journey into Plant-Based Living.09:40 Raising Plant-Based Kids.18:40 Budget-Friendly Plant-Based Lifestyle. 20:45 Top 5 Fatal Diseases Related to Lifestyle in US Today.23:25 Debunking Myths About Fish and Meat.28:40 Understanding Inflammation and Its Impact.33:45 Rip’s Morning Routine. 38:15 The Role of Sunlight and Circadian Rhythms.42:25 Should You Be Afraid of Fruit?46:30 Incorporating Variety in Plant-Based Eating.49:15 Understanding Processed vs. Ultra-Processed Foods.51:20 Engine 2 Movement.55:20 The Hanging with Rip Challenge.59:20 Navigating Fat Consumption in a Plant-Based Diet.01:06:05 Plan Strong: A Mission for Healthy Eating.01:06:50 Rip’s Definition of Happiness. Where to find Rip:Website: https://plantstrong.com/ & https://liveplantstrong.com/Instagram: @goplantstrong & @ripesselstynYouTube: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/results?s

What if luxury was not about what we own, but about how gently we move through the world?Welcome back to Health, Happiness & Planet, the podcast where we explore how to live well for ourselves, for others, and for the planet we share.Today, I’m joined by Emmanuelle Bonham, the founder of Kind Luxury, a lifestyle movement redefining what it truly means to live beautifully without causing harm.

Her mission is to prove that true luxury lies not in excess but in awareness, purpose, and kindness.In our conversation, we explore the philosophy of Kind Luxury and how compassion can become the new status symbol. We discuss what it means to shift from excess to fulfillment, why alignment leads to lasting happiness, and how to make sustainable and ethical choices in fashion, travel, and everyday life.Emmanuelle also shares her personal journey, her work in animal rescue and advocacy, and her vision for the future of conscious living. Together, we uncover why living beautifully and consciously is not about perfection but about progress, intention, and care.If you have ever wondered how to live with both elegance and ethics, this episode will invite you to see luxury through a new lens—one rooted in kindness, purpose, and true wellbeing.Time stamps:03:50 Introduction and Personal Journey.09:05 Understanding Kind Luxury.13:50 Compassion Over Consumption.14:30 Shifting from Excess to Fulfillment.19:45 Breaking Stereotypes in Veganism.37:50 Aesthetics and Ethics in Kind Luxury.40:20 Embracing Imperfection in Eco-Conscious Living.43:55 Navigating the Clothing Industry: Sustainable Choices.50:20 The Hidden Impact of Fashion on the Environment.52:10 Traveling Sustainably: Finding Joy in Eco-Friendly Experiences.58:25 The Journey of Animal Rescue and Advocacy.01:03:00 Services Offered by Emmanuelle and Her Future Projects.  01:06:50 Defining Happiness: A Personal Reflection.Where to find Emmanuelle:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/emmanuellebonham/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/search/top?q=emmanuelle%20bonhamYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/user/EmmanuelleB100Pinterest: <a href="https://www.pinterest.com/e

What if your doctor prescribed vegetables instead of pills?Today’s guest, Dr. Michael Klaper, is not only asking that question—he’s built his life’s work around answering it. A graduate of the University of Illinois College of Medicine, Dr. Klaper trained in surgery, anesthesiology, orthopedics, and obstetrics across top institutions in North America. But afteryears in clinical practice, he came to a life-changing realization: true healing doesn’t come from prescriptions alone—it comes from lifestyle, especially what we put on our plates.Now an internationally recognized teacher, clinician, and speaker, Dr. Klaper has become a leading voice in the movement to integrate nutrition into mainstream medicine. He teaches that a whole-food, plant-based diet can not only prevent but often reverse many chronic diseases that dominate our healthcare system today. Through his groundbreaking initiative, Moving Medicine Forward, he’s reaching medical students across the globe with a simple but revolutionary message: food is medicine, and nutrition belongs at the heart of medical education.In our conversation, we dive into his personal transformation, the systemic flaws in how physicians are trained, and the uphill battle to shift medicine toward prevention. We also discuss the dangers of modern diets, the influence of pharmaceutical interests, the importance of research integrity, and the growing health concerns in younger generations. Whether you're a doctor, a patient, or someone curious about the future of healthcare, this conversation will leave you inspired, informed, and empowered to take charge of your health. Timestamps: 03:50 Introduction to Dr. Klaper's Journey.07:40 The Shift to Plant-Based Medicine.10:0  0 The Importance of Nutrition in Medical Education.14:55 The Healing Power of Food.22:35 The Role of Education in Dietary Change.26:40 Moving Medicine Forward Initiative.29:50 Integrating Nutrition into Medical Curriculum.34:40 The Shift to Online Education.35:30 Moving Medicine Forward: A New Generation of Doctors.36:40 Navigating Pushback from Pharmaceutical Interests.38:45 Engaging Medical Students in Nutrition Education.41:30 The Importance of Research Integrity.43:15 The Consequences of a Meat-Based Diet.45:25 The Dangers of Modern Diets.46:55 Parenting and Nutrition Education.50:00 The Taste of Plant-Based Foods.51:30 The Dangers of Fish Consumption.52:15 The Impact of Microplastics on Health.55:00 Defining Happiness. Documentaries mentioned in the conversation:“Cowspiracy““Seaspiracy““What The Health““Forks Over Knives“ Where to find Dr. Klaper:Website: https://

What if I told you that the plastic cup you just tossed into a Starbucks recycling bin will never actually be recycled?Our guest is Susan Keefe. Susan founded a consulting business called Eco Forward, which is certified as a California Green Business and she also works as, the Southern California Director for Beyond Plastics. She’s, an environmental advocate fighting to reduce single-use plastics via education and the creation/enforcement of strong plastic policies. She also works to expose false recycling claims and demand honesty from corporations and local municipalities. Last year, Susan personally investigated Starbucks' so-called "recyclable" plastic cups alongside her colleague, retired chemical engineer,  Jan Dell. They brought the story to CBS television to prove that, despite the custom-labeled recycling bins found in many Starbucks stores, the plastic cups and lids aren’t being recycled at all.  The reason? It’s not economically or technically feasible, and there’s no market for them. The plastic waste ends up in landfill, or worst incinerated. Is It’s piling up, and consumers are being misled.But thanks to relentless advocacy and media investigations, Starbucks has finally begun transitioning away from plastic cups in certain states—a small but crucial first step.In this episode, we’ll dive into Susan’s groundbreaking investigation, why corporate accountability is critical, and what you can do to be part of the solution. If you’ve ever believed in the power of recycling, you need to hear this conversation. Timestamps: 03:20 Introduction to Sustainability and Personal Journey.07:45 Environmental Awakening.15:40 Investigating Corporate Responsibility: The Starbucks Case.20:00 The Reality of Plastic Recycling.24:15 The Economics of Plastic Waste.30:00 Recycling or Exporting Waste?31:40 Microplastics and Their Impact.33:15 Health Risks of Plastics.36:50 Corporate Responsibility: Starbucks' Shift.43:40 “We're All Plastic People Now”.47:45 Beyond Plastics Organization: Susan’s New Role.51:10 Government Accountability.53:45 The Reality of Plastic Waste and Greenwashing.59:00 Taking Action: Community Engagement for Sustainability.01:04:55 Empowering Consumers: Small Steps Towards Change.01:10:20 Innovations in Sustainability: Opportunities Ahead.01:13:30 Susan’s Definition of Happiness.Correction Note (29:20):At around the 29:20 mark, Susan Keefe misspoke when referring to a "material recycling facility." The correct term is "material recovery facility" (MRF). While the two are often confused, a material recovery facility is the accurate term used in the waste management industry. We appreciate Susan’s attention to detail and her dedication to providing clear, accurate information.

What if I told you that one of the most celebrated French chefs, trained in the art of rich sauces, foie gras, and fine meats, completely abandoned it all? That he turnedhis Michelin-starred restaurant into a 100% vegan dining experience—not because he had to, but because he believed it was the right thing to do? Well, that’s exactly what today’s guest, Alexis Gauthier, did.For years, Alexis thrived in the world of fine dining, mastering the traditions of French cuisine. But deep down, something didn’t sit right. He started questioning the use of animals in food and the ethics behind it. In 2014, he made a personaldecision to go vegan. But he didn’t stop there. In 2021, he shocked the culinary world by removing all animal products from his restaurant’s menu, turning Gauthier Soho in London into a groundbreaking, fully plant-based fine dining experience.This wasn’t just a career change—it was a statement. Alexis believes that French gastronomy doesn’t need meat to be indulgent, creative, or extraordinary. He’s proving that plant-based cuisine isn’t a limitation—it’s an unexplored frontier, full of possibilities.Today, we’ll dive into his journey, the challenges he faced, and why he believes the future of food is completely animal-free. We’ll also talk about the emotional side of his transformation, what it meant for him as a chef, a business owner, and a person who once built his career on dishes he can no longer stand behind.So, whether you’re a food lover, a chef, or just someone curious about where the future of dining is headed, you won’t want to miss this conversation.

What if the key to deep healing and transformation was hidden in the sound of a gong or the rhythm of your breath?Today, we’re exploring the powerful connection between breathwork and sound therapy, a combination that can reset the nervous system, release deep tension, and unlock new levels of relaxation and awareness.Joining me are two incredible experts who bring their unique disciplines together for profound healing experiences.First, we welcome back Tracey Howes, a Functional Breathwork Instructor and Advanced Oxygen Advantage Coach.

What if the brands we trust and the products we buy are actually contributing to the very crisis we are trying to solve?Today we are exploring this question with a guest who’s addressing consumerism, corporate power and the climate crisis directly. Maren Costa is a climate justice and workers’ rights advocate. Currently serving as a U.S. advisor at workforclimate.org where she empowers tech employees to push back against the growing influence of big tech. She is also featured in the Netflix documentary “Buy Now: The Shopping Conspiracy” where she highlights the role of companies in continuing unsustainable practices.

We’re often told to chase the light—focus on positivity, love, and good vibes only.

Burnout is a word we hear from time to time. What does it mean, how do we know if we are going towards that direction—and, more importantly, how do we overcome it? How does someone transform the pain of burnout and PTSD into a mission to help others thrive? Today, I’m joined by someone who has done just that. Meet Maria, a Resilience Coach for High Achievers. Maria’s journey is as remarkable as her expertise. With a background in global project management and advanced studies in Neuroscience, Consciousness, and Transformational Coaching, she definitely brings a unique perspective to her work. Having lived in seven different countries, Maria has developed a culturally aware approach that enables her to connect with clients from diverse backgrounds. Her personal story of overcoming severe burnout and PTSD has fueled her passion for helping others navigate challenges and prevent burnout before it happens. Maria’s credentials include a bachelor’s degree in business administration, certifications in resilience, life, and business coaching, and advanced studies in positive psychology. Her coaching philosophy combines progressive neuroscience with practical strategies, creating transformative experiences for her clients. In our conversation today, we’ll explore what burnout really looks like, why it’s so common among high achievers, and the small yet powerful steps you can take to build resilience and prevent burnout in your own life. Maria also shares her insights into the importance of self-care, mindfulness, and setting boundaries, as well as the role neuroscience plays in creating lasting change. I had the pleasure of meeting Maria through an online event called the 1-2-1 Tribe hosted by Darin Olien, who was in the Netflix show called Down to Earth. This event focused on offering a space for like-minded people to share, learn, and grow, which is exactly what led me to invite her to today’s conversation. I’m thrilled to welcome Maria to the show and explore her journey, insights, and the powerful tools she uses to guide high achievers toward a life of joy, purpose, and resilience. Let’s dive in!

What if stepping into an ice-cold bath could transform your physical and mental resilience? Today we’ll explore this intriguing idea with Dr. Thomas Seager, an associate professor at Arizona State University and a leading voice in sustainable engineering and resilience.

Today, I have the pleasure of introducing you to an incredible duo, Ange and Marty, the founders of The A Life in Australia. These two are truly passionate about movement and have spent over a decade exploring and sharing the wonders of what our bodies are capable of. From their early days traveling the world as freestyle dancers (where they first met!), to taking multiple yoga trainings in the U.S., mastering Pilates rehab techniques, and developing their own strength and mobility practice, Ange and Marty have turned mindful movement into a lifestyle. In 2017, Ange—an osteopath with over 10 years of experience—decided to shift her focus from "fixing people" to empowering them to move well and feel good in their own bodies. This is how The A Life was born, and today it’s a thriving community, both online and in person, where movement is accessible, fun, and most importantly, safe. Their philosophy emphasizes quality over quantity, encouraging a sustainable and injury-free approach to fitness. In Part 1 of our conversation, we cover some fascinating topics. We talk about the critical role of inflammation in the body, and why feeling good and being strong is more important than chasing superficial goals like looking younger. We dive into adrenal fatigue, thyroid burnout, and how certain types of exercise can either help or hinder your hormonal health. Ange and Marty also share their insights on the impact of movement on hormones and the difference between bad movement and high-quality movement. We finish Part 1 with a conversation on movement variability, creating a movement lifestyle, and how distributing movement throughout the day can positively transform your health. This is just the beginning—so be sure to tune in for Part 2, coming out in two weeks, where we’ll continue exploring more strategies for building a sustainable, movement-focused lifestyle.

In today's episode, I am thrilled to introduce our incredible guest, whom I admire, none other than Dr. Caldwell B.

Is sugar as addictive and harmful as some of the world’s most dangerous drugs? In this episode, we dive deep into the hidden dangers of sugar with Rich Holman, author of "Killing You Softly – How Sugar Is Killing Us." Rich's journey is truly remarkable. After a diverse career in real estate, mortgage banking, securities, publishing, and investment banking, and holding degrees in Chemical Engineering Management and an MBA, his life took an unexpected turn. At age 72, Rich was facing multiple health conditions and was on various medications. As he describes it, he was a "dead man walking." Everything changed when a holistic doctor suggested a 21-day sugar detox. Rich embraced the challenge, lost 22 pounds, reversed his health issues, and is now completely off medication. His experience led to years of research into the harmful effects of sugar and processed foods, culminating in his mission to expose the truth about sugar—something he believes is more addictive than cocaine and just as harmful. In this conversation, we explore the history of sugar, the disturbing cover-ups surrounding it, and the devastating effects of the Standard American Diet (SAD). Rich reveals how big food and big pharma influence public health and how government subsidies keep sugar and processed foods at the heart of our diets. We also dive into his experience meeting parents raising sugar-free kids and discuss the importance of ethical marketing and informed consent when making food choices. Rich's passion for educating others is evident, and as a man who’s truly transformed his life, his insights are not to be missed.
