The Elle Russ Show

In this episode, Elle Russ chats with Philip Blackledge - he was ordained a priest in the Scottish Episcopal church in 1999. As he was ordained, the heavens opened, there was a mighty thundering and a heavenly voice spoke out of the cloud saying “Bloody hell, we're really scraping the bottom of the barrel these days.”  Before ordination he was a classical music singer, appearing on a number of recordings and broadcasts, and is currently the Chair of the Borders Music Festival, which aims to bring music to younger people and celebrate amateur music making. He is the leader of the Melrose Vocal Ensemble, and still appears as soloist when the money is right.  As a priest he broadcasts regularly on BBC Radio 4 and takes part in discussion programes and “thought for the day” on BBC Scotland. He is a board member of the Scottish Advisory Council for Religion and Ethics. He has a wife, a son, and a dog, all of which have more control over his life than he does.   You can stream his sermons live at: https://www.youtube.com/@HolyTrinityMelrose     FREEBIES: Free Thyroid Guide + Video Series: https://www.elleruss.com/thyroid-guide Free Confidence eBook & Workbook: https://www.elleruss.com/7secrets Elle's newsletter: https://www.elleruss.com/newletter

In this episode, Elle Russ chats with Dr. Sam Graber - a health transformation expert who helps women business owners expand their health span so they can lead with purpose, clarity, and vitality—without sacrificing themselves in the process.   Drawing from her 30+ years in holistic healthcare, metabolic science, and mindset mastery, Dr. Sam guides high-achieving women to nourish their bodies, rewire their minds, and reclaim their energy.   As the creator of the Inner Revolution Framework, she offers a rebellious yet compassionate approach to health—one that goes beyond food and fitness to care for the woman behind the business. In this powerful conversation with Elle, Dr. Sam shares her own story of burnout and breakthrough, and how she now helps other women stop chasing the quick fix and start living in sync with their deeper wisdom.   Free Gift: Hormone Health After 40 Link:  https://drsamgraber.mykajabi.com/hormone-health-after-40   Connect with Dr. Sam Graber:  https://drsamgraber.com/    https://www.linkedin.com/in/dr-samantha-graber/     FREEBIES: Free Thyroid Guide + Video Series: https://www.elleruss.com/thyroid-guide Free Confidence eBook & Workbook: https://www.elleruss.com/7secrets Elle's newsletter: https://www.elleruss.com/newletter

In this episode, Elle Russ deconstructs cultural jealousy and how you can take lessons from it to enrich your success. In a world that claims to celebrate achievement, why do so many cultures secretly punish those who stand out? This episode pulls back the curtain on Tall Poppy Syndrome - that insidious social reflex that makes people attack anyone who rises too high. We trace this phenomenon from ancient tribal instincts to modern office politics, revealing how the fear of standing out shapes everything from career choices to national economies.  We expose the hidden costs of this mentality, from stifled innovation to brain drain, and spotlight the rare communities that have broken free from this self-sabotaging pattern. By the end, you'll never look at success - or your own reactions to others' achievements - the same way again. This is more than a cultural analysis; it's a wake-up call for anyone who's ever dimmed their light to make others comfortable.

In this episode, Elle Russ chats with Dr. Gary E. Foresman MD to unpack the science, hype, and controversy surrounding GLP-1-based weight loss medications like Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro, and peptides. Dr. Foresman explores how these drugs actually work—from appetite suppression to metabolic effects—and who's a good candidate (and who should avoid them). The conversation tackles the real benefits and the real risks beyond the headlines - breaks down the differences between peptides and FDA-approved medications, and examines the big question: Is the weight loss sustainable long-term? We also dive into practical concerns like cost, accessibility, and alternatives for those seeking options outside this class of drugs. Whether you're considering these medications, curious about the science, or just tired of the hype, this conversation cuts through the noise with an honest, no-industry-spin look at one of the biggest health trends of our time.

Elle Russ chats with Sarah Plowman - who after spending her 20s bartending in Philadelphia, got married, had two boys and fully embraced stay at home mom life - sourdough starter and all.  Six years later she found herself going through a divorce and back in the restaurant business when COVID shut the world down.  Sarah had recently hired a life coach to figure out her post-divorce life, and the impact this had on her was profound. For the first time she felt that her inner confidence matched how she appeared to the world.  Although starting a coaching business with no niche, no certification and no experience sounded crazy, Sarah knew she had to get the tools of life coaching in the hands of as many women as possible. So she started talking to people and offering to help them. She started an Instagram account. She brought hand written signs to the playground offering to coach strangers for free while the kids played.  People noticed. After nearly a year of general life coaching, other online coaches began asking Sarah for help magnetizing premium clients by creating authentic, organic content on Instagram. In 2024 Sarah founded the Magnetic Membership to bring her movement to a wider audience. Inside she teaches her simple yet effective formula to get rich while doing life-changing, heart-centered work.  Her goal is to help women turn their delusions into reality (because how fun is that) - and watch the cash roll in as a strategic byproduct. From divorced, single mom to CEO of a coaching brand set to cross $1m in 2025, Sarah is an example of what's possible. When she's not coaching Sarah is getting sushi with her kids, at ballet class, prepping for her first Latin dance competition, or parading the streets of Philadelphia in a fabulous hat.

Hypothyroid patients classically have low ferritin and other low iron levels - just another negative side effect of undiagnosed, untreated, or mistreated hypothyroidism. Iron provides life-affirming oxygen to organ systems through its role in red cell production. Iron is an essential protein component for metabolism (low iron levels often go hand in hand with low B12 results). Without adequate iron, muscles lose their tone and elasticity. Low iron can compromise brain function: oxygen supply in the blood is assisted by iron, and the brain uses approximately 20% of the blood oxygen. Proper flow of blood in the brain stimulates cognitive activity. Visit Elle Russ.com to learn more.   SELECTED LINKS: https://www.elleruss.com/
