You don't need more stimulants. You need better blood flow. In this episode, I'm joined by Ilan Sobel, CEO of BioHarvest Sciences, to talk about the future of plant-based medicine—and how VINIA®, their flagship red grape cell product, is helping people unlock what they call blood flow energy. VINIA works by increasing nitric oxide (NO) and reducing Endothelin-1 (ET-1)—a protein that causes blood vessels to constrict. The result? Relaxed arteries, improved circulation, and more oxygen and nutrients delivered to your cells. Backed by clinical trials, VINIA helps support: • Physical energy and endurance • Sharper mental alertness • Faster cellular detox • Better cardiovascular performance We discuss:

I'm joined by Krista Williams, co-host of the wildly successful Almost 30 podcast and co-author of the brand-new book Almost 30: A Definitive Guide to a Life You Love for the Next Decade and Beyond. Krista and her co-host Lindsey Simcik created the guide they wished they had during the confusing, transformative transition from their late 20s into their 30s—a time full of cosmic shake-ups, friendship shifts, body image reckoning, and purpose redefinition. This conversation goes deep into the heart of that transition. Krista opens up about how her relationship with her body has evolved after years of being steeped in diet culture and how turning 30 brought her a completely new lens on friendship, self-worth, and intuitive living. We talk about what it means to truly feel safe in your body, how to let go of relationships with compassion, and why growing older can be a deeply spiritual initiation—if you let it be. We explore: The emotional shifts that come with turning 30 Letting go of friendships that no longer align—and the grief that comes with it How to attract relationships that reflect your growth Healing from diet culture and embracing a softer, intuitive approach to wellness Rebuilding a sense of safety in your body after years of disconnection Self-worth, control, and learning to trust your body again Creating identity outside of old stories, labels, or roles Why the Saturn Return is more than an astrology trend—it's a spiritual doorway Whether you're navigating a friendship breakup, trying to heal your relationship with food, or simply wondering who you're becoming—this episode will meet you exactly where you are.

In this eye-opening episode, I sit down with Nora LaTorre, CEO and co-founder of Eat Real, to unpack the state of school food in America.

In this deeply personal and thought-provoking conversation, Claudia sits down with Kristan Hawkins, President of Students for Life of America, to explore abortion through a lens that isn't often discussed—the physical, emotional, and spiritual aftermath many women experience. This episode isn't about pushing an agenda. It's about asking questions that often go unanswered in mainstream conversations and inviting nuance into a topic that's usually black and white. Together, we explore: What women wish they knew before having an abortion Physical and hormonal side effects that are rarely talked about Why emotional and spiritual healing is just as important as physical recovery The growing role of abortion pills—and the concerns around their impact on young women How we can better support women and children in a society that often fails both How to have respectful, faith-informed conversations in a world that can feel hostile to differing views Whether you agree with Kristan's stance or not, this episode is an invitation to listen with curiosity and compassion. You may not walk away with all the answers—but you'll definitely walk away with a broader perspective.

If you've ever felt like your body is falling apart and no doctor can tell you why—this episode is for you. I'm joined by Dr. Jaban Moore, a functional medicine chiropractor who's made it his mission to help people heal from the real root causes of chronic illness—especially the ones most doctors overlook. We get into two things that are finally getting the attention they deserve: nervous system dysregulation and autoimmune overwhelm—specifically Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS) and histamine intolerance. These are major reasons so many people are struggling with fatigue, food sensitivities, inflammation, reactivated viruses, and mystery symptoms that get dismissed as “just anxiety.” Dr. Jaban shares his own health journey and breaks down: The difference between histamine intolerance and MCAS Why your anxiety, pain, or fatigue might be coming from emotional trauma or nervous system chaos How foundational habits (sunlight, sleep, slowing down) matter more than any supplement Whether elimination diets and food sensitivity tests are healing or just bandaids If you'll ever be able to eat an avocado or tomato again (hint: yes, but not overnight) How to know if you're actually herxing… or just making things worse If you've been told your symptoms are “all in your head,” this conversation will feel like a breath of fresh air. You're not crazy. You're not broken. And yes—healing is possible.

What if your illness isn't just physical—but also deeply tied to your thoughts, language, and identity? In this powerful episode, I sit down with Clinical Hypnotherapist Emily Cahill to explore the deeper layers of healing that most people overlook. Emily's journey began with a Lyme disease diagnosis at 19, followed by years of chronic fatigue, anxiety, and emotional burnout. Like me, she once searched outside herself for answers—clinging to protocols, experts, and “healing diets”—until she realized the true root of healing lies within. Together, we unpack the ways we unknowingly block our own healing through the words we use, the stories we repeat, and the communities we bond with over suffering. We dive into what Medical Support Hypnotherapy is, how it works, and why it may be the missing piece for those stuck in chronic illness or emotional stagnation. We also explore the surprising connection between personality traits and disease, the limitations of nervous system regulation, and how guided imagery can rewire the body for wellness.

What if the secret to longevity was hidden in your own cells? In this episode, I sit down with Leslie Kenny, founder of Oxford Healthspan, to explore spermidine—a fascinating compound that triggers autophagy, the body's cellular renewal process. Leslie's life took a dramatic turn in her 30s when she was diagnosed with Lupus, Rheumatoid Arthritis, and Hashimoto's Thyroiditis—told she had just five years to live and to give up on having children. Refusing to accept this prognosis, she transformed her health by eliminating inflammatory triggers and supporting her body's natural healing. Now 59, she has the biological age of 21, is autoimmune disease-free, and naturally conceived at 43.

Garret Kramer is the author of True Self, The Path of No Resistance, and Stillpower. For nearly three decades, he has provided consulting services for athletes, coaches, actors, and business leaders as well as conducted workshops, daylong symposiums, and retreats for teams, organizations, and schools. Having introduced the direct path of self-exploration to the high-performance community, Garret is now sharing with global audiences his unique take on the Consciousness-only model and its implications for a more harmonious world. He lives in New Jersey with his family. In this conversation, we explore how the understanding of non-duality shifts the approach to performance, success, and overall well-being. Diving deep into the fundamental question of "Who are you?", they discuss the limitations of traditional coaching and therapy, which often focus on feelings rather than helping individuals uncover their true selves. I share a bit of my personal journey of shedding labels and societal expectations, opening up about how 2020 forced me to let go of external definitions and confront my core identity. Together, we question why mainstream approaches often fall short in addressing the root causes of suffering and explore the nature of emotional triggers and personal responsibility. Garret emphasizes the distinction between feelings and identity, challenging the common belief that emotions like anxiety define who we are. They also touch on physical health, with Garret urging people to trust their intuition and resist outsourcing their well-being to so-called experts. In a world obsessed with individual achievement, Garret and I discuss how the illusion of separateness keeps people stuck in the cycle of self-betterment and external validation. Through the lens of non-duality, we explore the path to inner peace and moral behavior, highlighting the importance of thinking for oneself in a society that often follows the herd. Whether you're seeking to understand yourself on a deeper level or looking to break free from societal conditioning, this episode offers powerful insights into the nature of the self, healing, and the pursuit of happiness.

With a background in wildfire restoration and air quality consulting, Mike transformed his knowledge into creating one of the most advanced air purifiers on the market. We dive into his journey from a business school dropout to launching Jaspr, a company that's changing the game for indoor air quality.

I dive deep into the illusion of safety behind FDA approvals and doctor recommendations. I unpack the shocking reality that the FDA, the very agency tasked with protecting public health, is often funded by the same conglomerates it's supposed to regulate. From fast-tracked pharmaceuticals to harmful food additives like aspartame and glyphosate, I reveal how corporate interests and profit often overshadow genuine concern for our well-being. Exploring conflicts of interest embedded within the system, like the opioid crisis, I challenge the notion that “doctor-recommended” always means safe. I urge you to become your own health advocate, question the system, and reconnect with nature to truly reclaim your health. This episode is a must-listen for anyone ready to break free from blind trust in labels and take control of their wellness journey.

The conversation kicks off with how I met Darin at Expo West, where I was introduced to the superfood Barukas nuts, known for their low-water footprint, high antioxidant content, and virtually no heavy metals. Darin shares the incredible backstory behind his discovery of Barukas and how they're revolutionizing health and sustainability. We dive deep into Darin's perspective on staying hopeful amidst overwhelming health challenges like hidden toxins in everyday products and new pesticides in our food. We explore how people can protect themselves from these unseen dangers, even when harmful substances aren't listed on product labels.

Darin opens up about the principles he's reevaluated over the years and reflects on staying true to his values in an era where influencers are often tempted by financial incentives over integrity. The conversation touches on practical advice for those living in food deserts, the real impact of genetics on our health, and why humans seem to have lost their instinctive understanding of what to eat, unlike wild animals. Lastly, as fellow introverts, Darin and I reflect on the challenges of maintaining energy and empathy in a world filled with online negativity.
