World champion Olympic weightlifter, poet, and Happy Body co-creator Jerzy Gregorek joins Kelly Kessler on Rewiring Health for a conversation that will change how you think about aging, movement, and your own potential.After surviving political persecution in Poland, escaping as a refugee, and rebuilding his life from nothing, Jerzy developed a philosophy that is as simple as it is powerful: hard choices, easy life. In this episode, he shares why most people are exercising wrong, why you need far less movement than you think (and what elite sprinters know that you don't), and how just 30 minutes a day of intentional practice can restore flexibility, strength, and peace of mind — at any age.In this episode, you'll learn:Why the Happy Body program works for women in their 40s, 50s, and 60s — even if you've never exercised consistentlyHow to rebuild your body like hygiene: daily, simple, and sustainableThe truth about over-exercising and what Blue Zone elders teach us about longevityWhy creativity — not willpower — is the real key to lasting changeHow to fall in love with what's good for you, even when it's hardWhether you're burned out, in physical pain, or simply ready to stop shrinking and start growing — this episode is your reset.Connect with Jersy: https://thehappybody.com

 An important password:“Listen to Your Own Inner Wisdom. You are the Key to Your Own Life. Time to Speak the Truth”This powerful Full Moon in Sagittarius, May 31st/June 1st is really the illuminator of this “your re-storying"  your unique Dream”.  This lunar cycle presents  a dynamic opportunity to take a real look at the ideas, thoughts and experiences that came forth during the Full Moon in Scorpio that happened at the beginning of May.This Moon offers both inner focus, and the opportunity to experience worldly experiences through connection to Cosmic Source. Guidance through trusting intuitive insights from the well of personal inspiration is the key for moving toward greater and higher vibrational consciousness.During this lunar cycle, the awareness of growth, expansion, plenty, and abundance are under major consideration.  Even as we look out into the collective society, it's absolutely critical to dream one's own big dreams. What thoughts and dreams have been moving back and forward through your mind during this time?  The notable aspect of this lunar cycle emphasizes  concepts of greater self  expansion, exploration, new perspective through inner awareness and spiritual renewal.With this Full Moon, Jupiter  the planet of expansion, is having a conversation   somewhere in your “Star Map”.  Sagittarius is the sign of fiery and inspired direction. This sign brings a feeling of joy and adventure when you choose confidence, courage, and deep self-belief.  Taking the chance to step out, and “Lucky” Jupiter will pave your way.During this Full Moon you are gaining an energetic boost, and  being called upon to take action on something you've dreamed about during the Sun in Gemini idea generating stage.  With this  Full Moon as it illuminates the pathway.   Jupiter is calling for expansion in a particular area of your life, so it is time to activate and actualize those dreams.  Interestingly enough, this Moon really supports forward motion.  Sagittarius is not a sign for looking back into the past.  In some ways, this sign embodies the "Fool" card in the Tarot.  The character in the card is definitely looking ahead, and standing ready to see what's over the horizon and next mountain.With Sagittarius energy, you have deep support to step fully into taking your vision, intention, desire or dream. What's most important thing is to belief in what you are choosing, which will offer the momentum for moving forward in your life.  So, here it is Full Moon in Sagittarius, and all the planetary players are whispering that it's time for things to change  The combination of the Moon and Jupiter is release with the lunar cycle of the full moon,  and expansion through Jupiter signaling change and a focused on forward motion.I want to give recognition to the powerful supportive energies of Neptune and Saturn both being in the sign of Aries. The fiery energy of the other elemental fire sign is giving this rare "Blue Moon" added impetus. The air elemental of Gemini is important in providing a way for the ideas to be dispersed into the personal and collective consciousness. If you reflect on these signs (air, Gemini idea, with fire action of moving forward with Sagittarius), there is a completeness in understanding how thoughts become "things".So it's time to not only dream, the question is, how will your dream become reality and move your life in the direction you really want to go? Seeking new horizons through study and travelThe sign of Sagittarius represents the areas of life where the deepest beliefs about life are being questioned. The first stage in this questioning process is highlighted by what, and how much an individual believes in self?This lunar cycle is aligned with assessing the experience of inner self worth and how it is lived in daily life expression. Sagittarius  is the sign that is always on a quest to understand what can be called the “higher mind”.  Studies of a spiritual nature, through higher education, publishing, exploring other cultures are the ways in which the Sagittarian individual grows in Soul reconnection, emotional depth and life awareness. Trusting Your Own Voice of TruthAlong with Libra and Scorpio, Sagittarius is a relationship sign. It operates by seeing others as part of a collective consciousness. The impetus of this sign is to interact, to teach, to promote and to bring knowledge about truth, freedom, justice, equality, and spiritual insights to the group experience.  Wherever Sagittarius energy is positioned within a chart, there's a need to share knowledge and wisdom about the Universal Source that is supporting all aspects of life.  Sagittarius is a mutable sign, meaning that it thrives by interacting and communicating deep philosophical and spiritual topics. What is most important in understanding and using the wisdom of this sign, is the absolute requirement to embrace positive beliefs and values of integrity, truth, honesty and freedom for everyone. The Power and Path of Possibility Thinking with SagittariusEach of us carries a collection of inner subconscious programs that are associated with every experience we've ever encountered. Sagittarius is the sign that requires us to go into the significant areas of our lives, and examine the negative beliefs, “shadow” thoughts or low- level vibrational consciousness, where there's judgmentalness, prejudice, and narrow-mindedness about others.Sagittarius has the ability to see and operate from the “big picture experience''. An example of an individual with Moon in Sagittarius, is the cultural icon, Oprah.   By studying her life trajectory, she reveals how the Sagittarian energy is activated through the deep belief that what is invisible can become visible. Sagittarius is a sign that taps the “higher intelligence” through what is known as the “Third Eye”.  The symbol of this sign as half horse with a bow and arrow, deals with piercing the “veil” and seeing beyond the 3 D plane of matter and limitation. The Sagittarius Superpower is “Taking a Leap Of Faith”As a mutable sign, Sagittarius symbolizes the ability to trust,  take physical and emotional risks that life is always supported by Universal or Infinite Source. This sign specializes in searching for and moving toward greater horizons.Looking inward and gaining an understanding of what is meaningful and worthwhile is essential. In this sign the relating principle is seen in desiring to merge with the many experiences encountered on the archetypal “quest” and journeying through life.Mutable signs and planets are the Communicators and Seekers of the ZodiacSagittarius/Gemini depict the archetypes of the “Teacher and Student”.  These signs are associated with both adventure on the earth plane, as well as stepping into the inner and subjective experiences of life.Sagittarius is the sign that brings buoyancy, open hearted- optimism, confidence and courage to interactions and encounters with others. With this sign, there is much complexity because what appears to be obvious often has many layers of meaning, and has to be unraveled through intuitive reflections.Sagittarius is masculine fire sign, meaning that it inspires action, and has a need for direct experiencing of life. Wherever this sign is positioned in the chart is an indicator of the need for deep involvement in a specific area or arena of life.Even though Sagittarius is a fire sign, it has a kinship with the water sign Pisces.  They  both possess a shared awareness of what it means to have “faith” in living life from a deep Soul experience.   Let's have an Astrology Conversation.  I look forward to seeing you.  Now is the time.https://www.soulsoundinsights.com/light-reading.htmlhttps://www.soulsoundinsights.com/music-musings-meditation.htmlI am proud to announce my new offering as a Certified Creative Depth Coach.  As a Creative Depth Coach, I provide guidance, support and soul insights on how to discover, explore and navigate your life by  recognizing your magnificent "Creative Genius".

Living Better for Longer: Blue Zones, Longevity and the Places We Create Guest: Marcus Pearce What do a small Greek island, a mountain village in Sardinia, and a Californian faith-based community have in common? They are among the world's famous Blue Zones - places where people routinely live into their nineties and hundreds, not because of miracle diets or expensive health interventions, but because of the way their communities are structured and how people live their everyday lives. In this episode, Peter Jewell and Jess Noonan speak with Marcus Pearce, longevity educator, host of the 100 Not Outpodcast, and founder of wellbeing experiences to Blue Zone communities. Marcus shares his personal journey from sports journalist to one of Australia's leading voices on healthy ageing and wellbeing. The conversation explores what planners, designers and policymakers can learn from places where longevity is not the exception but the norm. In this episode we discuss: What Blue Zones are and how they were identified The six recognised Blue Zones, including the recent addition of Singapore Marcus's personal transformation from sports media to longevity advocacy Why attitudes towards ageing can significantly influence lifespan The role of social connection, purpose and community in healthy ageing What makes places such as Ikaria (Greece) and Sardinia (Italy) unique The importance of walkability and natural movement in daily life Why loneliness may be one of the greatest public health challenges of our time The relationship between urban design, wellbeing and longevity How modern technology and changing work patterns may be weakening social connections Lessons planners can draw from village-scale living and human-centred environments Whether Blue Zone principles can be applied in contemporary cities Marcus also reflects on the concept of an "ageing mentor" - someone whose approach to life and ageing inspires us to think differently about our own future. Key Takeaway The most powerful lesson from the Blue Zones may be that healthy ageing is less about individual optimisation and more about creating places where connection, movement, purpose and belonging occur naturally. In other words, the environment often shapes healthier behaviours without people consciously trying to pursue them. Guest Marcus Pearce Host of the 100 Not Out podcast and founder of Blue Zone-inspired wellbeing experiences. Marcus has spent more than a decade interviewing centenarians, longevity experts and wellbeing leaders, helping people rethink what it means to live a long and meaningful life. Podcast Extra In Culture Corner: Marcus reflects on David Attenborough's remarkable longevity and asks: Who is your ageing mentor? Jess discusses The Mushroom Tapes by Helen Garner, Sarah Krasnostein and Claire Hooper. Peter talks about rediscovering fountain pens following a recent trip to Japan. Podcast released 29 May 2026.

Hair loss is often treated as a surface-level issue—but what if the real cause runs much deeper? In this episode of the Story Engine Podcast, I sit down with Dr. Julie Olson to uncover the often-overlooked metabolic factors behind hair loss, along with the profound emotional and psychological toll it can take on women. This conversation goes beyond quick fixes, shining a light on the internal imbalances that may be at the root of the problem.

Australians are living longer and longer, which is on one hand a beautiful thing. But on the other, prolonged old age is wreaking havoc. So how might we respond to this new demographic situation we find ourselves in?Lucinda Holdforth is a writer who specialises in looking at what makes good societies flourish, everything from manners to politics and equality.Most recently, she's set her sights on the unintended negative consequences following the extraordinary increase in life span around the world, particularly in Australia.In the past 50 years, human life expectancy across the globe has jumped from 46 years old to 73, and in Australia that number is even higher -- an Australian born today is likely to live until they are 84 years old.On the surface, living longer is a very good thing. It means more time spent with our loved ones, looking at the stars, feeling the sun, living.But prolonged old age can also be very lonely and painful, and, as Lucinda argues, it is costing society as a whole in many ways.She has seen this firsthand, as a daughter who supported her own parents in their long old age, and has some surprising suggestions about how we could do things differently to ease the impact on our economy, our medical system, our elderly and our youth.GOING ON AND ON: Why our longevity threatens our future is published by Simon & Schuster.This episode was produced by Meggie Morris. Executive Producer is Eliza Kirsch.It explores the sandwich generation, carers, women caring for parents, the elderly, dementia, Alzheimer's, Bryan Johnson, biohackers, Blue Zone, how to live longer, Mediterranean diet, tech bros, longevity, muscle mass, aging, deterioration, aged care, death, grief, how to live well, writing, books, old age, diseases of the elderly, tax, taxation, ageism, voting rights, voting age, lower the voting age.To binge even more great episodes of the Conversations podcast with Richard Fidler and Sarah Kanowski go the ABC listen app (Australia) or wherever you get your podcasts.

Dr. Jeffrey Bland, Founder and President of the Personalized Lifestyle Medicine Institute and President of Big Bold Health, is described as the “godfather of functional medicine.” He details the origins of functional medicine as a systems-biology, root-cause approach emphasizing diet, lifestyle, and supplements alongside conventional allopathic care, especially for chronic disease. Bland contrasts medication “number needed to treat” examples (statins and TNF-alpha blockers) with personalized lifestyle interventions, noting adherence challenges. He discusses GLP-1 weight-loss drugs as a major pharmacologic advance but raises concerns about long-term effects, discontinuation rates, side effects, and inadequate nutrition if food intake drops. Bland describes research on bitter compounds and gut “taste” receptors influencing GLP-1 and related hormones, links to Blue Zone diets, and introduces Big Bold Health's Himalayan Tartary Buckwheat and minimally processed, sustainably sourced fish oil products, the Omega-3 index, and targeted formulations with lutein/astaxanthin, plus ongoing clinical trials on immune aging and gene expression.

And why I really wanted to have Dr. Frangopoulos on today is because he is a board certified anesthesiologist. He’s also a lifestyle medicine doctor and he’s a personal trainer. So, you know, those are all things if you’re a listener to this podcast that I am super excited about and that I love to chat about. take it from here and just introduce yourself and share with people what you’re all about and what you’re here to talk about today. Christo (00:35)Wonderful. Well, I just wanna say thank you so much for having me. This is an honor and I really hope we can reach at least a few people out there to make a difference with the information I’m going to be sharing with Cheryl. As Cheryl said, my name is Christof Rangaples. It’s much easier just to say Chris. I am an anesthesiologist for about a decade now. I have also got board certified in lifestyle medicine and a certified personal trainer and a lot of what I do is share information that’s evidence-based and science-backed that can optimize people’s lifestyle. As a physician, I travel the country, I’m certified in about 10 different states, and the problem of healthcare is it’s everywhere. And the state of our nation can really utilize a change in how we attack our health. And I think lifestyle medicine offers so many great tools and it’s super helpful. It’s not overly complicated and can make a huge difference. Cheryl McColgan (01:39)It’s so nice to have a doctor on that really appreciates that because I think so often, you we have more of a sick care system than health care system. And I’m sure that we’ll get into that a little bit more. But the fact that you are trained in lifestyle medicine, that you recognize the significance and the importance of it, I think is a huge step in the right direction for the medical field. So I’m so glad that you’re kind of promoting that and you have all that information on your website, all your good programs and continuing education. So I think that will be a huge benefit to the medical community. But one of the things that you’re Christo (01:49)Yes. Yeah. Yeah. Cheryl McColgan (02:09)particularly interested when your team reached out is around cancer. And some people that know me personally or know some of my work and some of my writing will know that I have a lot of cancer in my family. And it’s a big reason that I do a lot of the things that I do in my health and my life. So what what have you how did you become interested in cancer specifically? And then let’s start with like what your number one top lifestyle change people can do to prevent cancer. Christo (02:39)Sure. So as an anesthesiologist, you can imagine we see every sort of surgery from something simple to very complicated cancer cases. And over my years, I’ve seen a lot of cancer surgeries and how they’ve affected. their families, their communities, and it really is a, it’s something that every one of us have experience with, whether it’s yourself or a family member or a friend or a coworker, we are all affected by cancer and it is everywhere. But the truth of the matter is a lot of lifestyle change can actually make a huge difference in our cancer rates across the country. And most people probably don’t know this, but only about five to 10 % of cancers are from inherited gene mutations. Okay, so the other 90 % are often attributed to either a lifestyle or environmental exposures. So, you know, a lot of people think they’re destined to get cancer because their family member has a cancer or whatnot. That is a small chunk of cancer. It is actually our lifestyle and environmental exposures that can affect getting cancer, how we respond to cancer, and the aftermath of that, either being successful in treatment or not. And there’s a lot of things we can do for it. Cheryl McColgan (04:12)Yeah, just to drive that point home, share that we were talking before we started recording and Dr. Christo was just kindly asking me if there was any, you know, thing to avoid around cancer because I had said that it’s a lot in my family and it’s been a while and it’s always going to be hard. But my dad, when I was around, he was one of the first runners in the running boom, always going to the health food store, did all these super healthy lifestyle behaviors before this was really popular. And so was quite shocking, you know, when he ended up having these multiple cancer diagnosis later in But as a young man, he, we lived in the south, we live in Louisiana, and this is in the 70s before a lot of OSHA things and whatever, and he worked in chemical plants. And he was a chemist by trade. you know, so I’m pretty fully convinced that for him, it was those environmental factors that you spoke of. So in addition to being in an environment like that, that’s kind of an obvious situation. What are maybe some things that aren’t as obvious that people might be exposed to that they can limit in order to prevent cancer? Christo (05:10)Yeah, and not to scare anyone right now, but it’s kind of what we’re doing. We’re being sedentary, we’re sitting down right now. it is, sedentary behavior is ubiquitous in our culture, right? It’s how we do work every day. A lot of people sit at their desks in the office and there’s sometimes little movement. Well, we know a lot of things, what are causes of cancer and actually sedentary behavior. Even if you meet all of the activity guidelines, sedentary behavior itself is an independent risk factor for getting cancer. Of course, there’s a bunch of numbers with these, but it’s something that a lot of people don’t even think about. And an easy solution is trying to get up and get moving every so often. For myself, am I stuck at an office or in an operating room case, in their long cases, I make sure I’m getting up. every single hour on the hour, something I can remember just to get moving. And we’ll talk more in depth about this, but movement itself is as a prevention for not only cancer, but a number of other things. But yes, sedentary behavior is a big one that we really don’t think about very much. And a lot of us are exposed to that. Cheryl McColgan (06:27)Yeah, and I just want to I kind of want to build on something that you said just to make it super clear for people because I know this information, but if this is the first time somebody’s hearing it, they might not understand it. So I think the recommendation right now is correct me if I’m wrong, because I know you’ll know the right answer to this. It’s like 150 minutes per week of physical activity for most adults. Right. But you’re I think what you’re saying is, OK, say you do that. You go to the gym and you do your 150 minutes. That’s not the end. It’s actually been that eight hours that you’re sitting at your desk is still putting that on top Christo (06:45)Mm-hmm. Yeah. Yep. Yes. Yes, so you are correct. It is 100, so the physical activity guidelines is 150 to 300 minutes of moderate intensity activity per week. It could also be 75 to 150 minutes of vigorous intensity activity or a combination of both knowing that one minute of vigorous intensity activity is equal to two minutes of moderate intensity activity. All that being aside. 150 minutes of moderate activity per week is the goal. It’s something easy to remember. But yes, this sedentary behavior is independent of that. So if you’re going to the gym and you’re hitting all your marks, it doesn’t give you license so much to go home and be a cash potato the rest of the day. And that’s kind of the idea here. When we look at all of these different factors, it really comes down to getting your blood flowing. No, it’s more than that, that’s simplistic explanation. But the simple answer is get your butt up, get moving, get your blood flowing, and it’s something that we have to make it habitual. And again, we have such a sedentary lifestyle, it doesn’t mean we’re not doing anything, it just means that we’re sitting at a chair at the office, we’re at the desk all day, we’re typing on the computer. It’s just how our lives are built. So we therefore have to change the environment around us to make sure that we aren’t so sedentary. And there’s a number of things that we can do for that. Cheryl McColgan (08:30)So what would be some of your favorite tips for people? mean, I think you mentioned saying getting up on the hour, everybody has a cell phone nowadays, so setting alarms or using apps. What are some other things besides that that people might do to kind of combat this sedentary behavior? Christo (08:36)Yeah. Yeah. Sure, so that’s a big one for me. It’s something very easy to remember. On the hour, every hour, get up and get moving. Now if you’re at the office or if you’re somewhere where you’re not at home, make sure you are going to the restroom that’s farthest away from you, using the kitchen or water fountain that’s not close to you, walking up and down the stairs just to get moving. It doesn’t have to be difficult. It doesn’t have to be You know, I have to meet these marks. The simple answer is just get up, get moving, incorporate it into your day that’s seamless. That’s something that easy to remember for you. Maybe it’s you have a favorite coffee station at the office, whatever may be, just try to make it make sure that you’re able to incorporate as much movement as you can. Cheryl McColgan (09:37)I think that’s really clear. So we want people to go to the gym. We want them to be strength training so they can prevent sarcopenia, maintain their muscle mass. That’s all great for metabolic health, but we also just need people to just get out of the chair from their desk or away from the TV and just move Christo (09:44)Mm-hmm. Yeah. one of the most simple things that we can be doing to prevent cancer. And of course, there is more to exercise in cancer prevention. We’re talking about sedentary behavior, but it also can go from light to moderate activity, vagus activity, and then meeting the guidelines. They all have their unique benefits, and we can talk about that if you’d like. But the sedentary behavior I think is just one of the most more shocking ones that people just may not know about Cheryl McColgan (10:18)Yes, totally agree with that statement from just getting moving because I think like I said before, people think they go to the gym and that’s good enough. That’s not that’s not the end of the story. But you did touch on one I would like to maybe chat about a little bit more. And that was the use of exercise maybe in a different way. So I was very focused on fasting for a while when Dr. Urashimo I’m going to mess up his name. I’ll put it in the show notes. But you know, when they first kind of discovered a Toshi back in 2016, and I learned about fast. Christo (10:35)Yeah. You Cheryl McColgan (10:47)And I was very focused on that for a while. But now that I’ve gotten older, my bigger concern is maintaining muscle mass as I get over the age of 50. And so I’ve kind of stopped that because I also learned that exercise actually promotes autophagy really strongly. And maybe I’ll just have you actually talk about autophagy in a more scientific way so that people understand its relation to cancer. So maybe if you could talk about that with exercise, that would be awesome. Christo (11:13)Yeah, so I think how I relate this is something called myokines. When we exercise, you get our bodies moving and our muscles are contracting, they release something called myokines into the bloodstream. The simple answer is myokines are anti-cancer proteins. And the more we contract our muscles, the more these anti-cancer agents are moving around our bloodstream and not only are we able to more effectively kill cancer cells, it is something that’s going to promote, really just promote overall health in general, not just cancer, but everything else as well. There’s actually a recent study in 2025 about breast cancer, it’s out of Oxford, I believe, and they talk specifically about these myokines, and it was something Don’t quote me exactly on the number, but it was just one bout of vigorous intensity activity. It increased their blood circulating myokines by like up to 30 % and they exposed those myokines to breast cancer cells. And actually that number, the rate of growth was reduced by 30%. So it just goes to show how effective muscle contraction and movement is in the anti-cancer in our body’s ability to fight cancer off. Cheryl McColgan (12:35)Yeah, I will share. And I mean, again, not to bring it back to the but I think it’s really relevant to what you’re saying is I mentioned that my dad was kind of in the running boom and he had always lifted weight. He was like Jack Lilley basically, which was why it was such a shock that this but anyway, when he got this more serious diagnosis of cancer, I’m really convinced that the reason he did so well for so long was because every time he did a treatment, he got right back to his three days a week strength training, running, playing golf, super active, never let that go. Christo (12:45)⁓ wonderful. Yeah. Absolutely. Cheryl McColgan (13:04)for the longest Christo (13:04)Yeah. Cheryl McColgan (13:05)time. And so I think that that actually helped not only helped his quality of life while he was living with cancer, but also probably got him further down the road. I really think that’s true. Christo (13:11)Yeah. 100%, there is so much robust science about this. a lot of, you of course, after something gets a diagnosis of cancer, of course, your body’s going through changes and it is even more difficult to get up and get moving, going to gym and doing those things. So kudos to your father and anyone else who has gone through that to make sure they’re giving their body the exercise they need because it’s not only It’s exercise is not just a ⁓ healthy lifestyle modification. It’s an actual biological intervention that helps fight cancer. Like it is proven. It is not just, it’s not a replacement for your chemotherapies and your surgeries and whatnot, but it absolutely reduces your risk of getting cancer. It improves your survival if you do get cancer. and there is only benefits from this. So this is just a really hard point to make that exercise is proven to improve your survival in a number of different ways. We’re talking about cancer today, but there’s a number of other things as well. Cheryl McColgan (14:28)it’s pretty much the cure for everything, right? If you really want to look at it, it is. Yes. Christo (14:30)It is. It is. And it’s free. It’s free. We can all do it. You know? Yeah. Cheryl McColgan (14:36)I know it’s very exciting. Well, most of us, know, thankfully. So on that note, there is, I think I’d be remiss not to at least mention this and maybe get your thoughts on this. Because as you said, you’re in the operating rooms, you’ve seen all these different kinds of cancer. Have any of your colleagues or you yourself had any thoughts on the significant rise of colon cancer in young people? ⁓ Are we thinking processed food? Are we thinking other lifestyle factors? Kind of what’s your sense of it after being in the trenches with that? Christo (14:57)Yeah. Yeah, yeah, very astute question because that’s actually the statistic I believe is colorectal cancer is the only cancer that is rising in people under the age of 50. And more recently, you know, this is early 2026, James Vanderbeek passed away, which a lot of us know from like Dawson’s Creek and you know, other movies. and Chadwick Boseman, another big time actor, and they both passed away from colorectal cancer at young ages. And sometimes it’s a difficult pill to swallow when these people, you know, we don’t know them, but they’re part of our formative years. And the good thing about, and I don’t say good thing, but maybe the positive silver lining is it’s bringing awareness to people that this is something. Now, do we know why colorectal cancer is increasing in this specific age group? No. As you alluded to, could very well be what’s environmental exposures and I’m not saying this specifically to those gentlemen, but it can be a number of things. We don’t know the exact answer. We do know there’s a lot of different risk factors for colorectal cancer that a lot of people do have and it’s present in our nutrition system and how the United States is kind of set up. And it’s a lot of processed foods, it’s processed meats, it’s adiposity when you’re carrying some extra weight and obesity, being overweight, all of those things play a role into cancer. Real briefly, this is something that I think a lot of people may not know, but obesity itself is a chronic form of low-grade inflammation, okay? So your body is under this chronic inflammatory state when you have obesity. And the reason that’s important is because when we have bodily inflammation, that increases the risk for mutations in our DNA, in our cells, and that’s exactly how cancers can arise. Cheryl McColgan (17:11)So would that mean also, I think the most common marker that people probably get when they go to their annual checkup is an HSCRP, which is kind of a marker of general inflammation in the body. So would it be accurate to say that if you have a higher HSCRP that you are probably slightly more at risk for cancers and that would be a thing to maybe consider trying to actively lower? Christo (17:19)Mm-hmm. Yeah, so CRP is one of the, ⁓ C-reactive protein is one of the markers for inflammation. There are a number of other ones, cortisol being ⁓ another big one. I don’t wanna say, I don’t wanna say for certain that yes, that is, that’s true, because our body undergoes inflammation. Rewind a second. When you get a lab ⁓ test done, that is one point in time. Right, it’s that day. So it’s hard, you’re not gonna be testing your CRP every single day to know are you always under the same state of inflammation. That being said, your body undergoes inflammation for a number of reasons. And sometimes inflammation isn’t bad. Sometimes it’s reactive and appropriate for what we’re doing. But yes, in the general sense, if you have… maybe like dietary inflammation, if your body isn’t sleeping properly and your body’s in a general state that’s heightened for inflammation, then yes, those kinds of things on a long-term basis are more what we’re aiming for here. One lab test, it depends. It can be a number of different things. There’s also a lot of… different medical states and conditions that can increase your CRP. So it’s not always like a perfect marker. It may be a clue and your healthcare provider can kind of clue you in to like put the whole picture together, but every individual is very different. And as I said, it’s kind of a one marker in time. So lab tests can be helpful, but it’s just not the end all be all. Cheryl McColgan (19:06)Yeah, understood. Just kind of wondered if there was any association there. And you mentioned one of my favorite words when you were just answering that question, that is sleep. I think it’s one of the most underappreciated health. elixirs basically for people and that so many people struggle with it. ⁓ But how would you describe sleep’s relation to cancer? I know a lot of the stuff about sleep’s relation to possible Alzheimer’s prevention, but I haven’t necessarily heard as much about cancer, so I’d love to hear your views on that. Christo (19:18)Yes. yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, absolutely. So there’s a couple of things to know regarding sleep and cancer. And I’m gonna draw back a discussion I had with a patient where they were like, I’m exercising all the time, I’m eating well, I’m getting all my minute guidelines, my stress is well managed. And then you dive a little bit deeper and they’re like, oh, I only sleep four or five hours of night. And I’m like, oh, why are you doing that? Well, you know, they’re crazy busy. They’re always productive. And we kind of take a step back and get more of a clue of, you know, the whole picture of that patient. And it was telling because as you mentioned, sleep, a lot of people, we almost treat it as an afterthought. You know, it’s at the end of the day, we kind of get in our beds and go. However, sleep is so critical for our overall health that it really needs to get more of a bright light on it because it’s that important. And the relationship to cancer is actually, it’s very clear and I’ll tell you why. At night, throughout the day, 24 hours, your body is always undergoing maintenance. Your body’s always fixing damaged DNA, fixing cells that are damaged for whatever reason and we’re repairing them or we’re scheduling them for apoptosis and getting them out of our bodies. Now that happens all 24 hours, but it’s way more active when we’re sleeping. It’s when the maintenance workers of our body are going to work and that happens at night. So if you’re not getting enough sleep, we are, or quality sleep. We are not restoring, we’re not repairing those DNA in the cells and those mutations. It’s almost like a glitch in the system where these mutations occur and then they live on and they thrive. the more and more those mutations grow, that’s when you get a tumor. So when we don’t get that sleep at night, our maintenance workers aren’t working and those mutations kind of can grow into cancer more easily. Cheryl McColgan (21:43)Yeah, that makes perfect sense. And what would you what would your advice be to people? I mean, I’ve written about this a lot. So there’s some free resources on my website for better sleep. And I do all the things I am committed to sleep. You know, I have the cooling bed, the cooling bed, the dark room, the I like everything. So there’s all those kind of tips. But if somebody wants to do something without devices, and without drugs in particular, I think that people Christo (21:53)Awesome. Yeah. Yeah. Yes. Sure. Yeah. Cheryl McColgan (22:08)I’d love to hear your perspective on that and kind of what are some more natural ways people can approach doing this that aren’t devices that don’t cost a lot of extra money. Christo (22:11)Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah, we can talk a lot about this. think it’s actually, ironically, it’s sleep awareness week right now. So it’s, ⁓ yeah, it’s a big topic right now. So what can you do? So you mentioned a lot of things regarding sleep environment, where you’re sleeping in a cool, dark place, cool, dark and quiet place, not silent, but quiet. And a lot of people focus on that, which is really good. Cheryl McColgan (22:23)Nice. Christo (22:40)But something that people may not know is what we do during the day matters very much how good quality of sleep we get at night. And this is not going to be a shocker, but one of the best activities that you can do during the day to get more quality sleep, a higher level of deep sleep, is exercise. exercise really is just a panacea for everything. ⁓ But the reason being is when you exercise, your body’s obviously working a lot harder and its body temperature goes up. Well, a few hours after, your body temperature starts to cool down and that’s exactly what we would like for sleep. So it’s just something that every single day we wanna incorporate some sort of exercise for that. And there are a number of other things like the three two one zero rule if you’ve heard of that or we could talk about that. ⁓ Cheryl McColgan (23:39)Yeah, I’m not familiar with that one. So I’d love it if you’d share that Christo (23:41)Yes, yeah, yeah, the three, two, one, zero rule. It’s something easy to remember because of the numbers, but three hours before bed, you don’t have any more food. Are you able to do a light snack? Sure. But you don’t want to have your dinner too close to bedtime. You want to give your body enough time for digestion. If you’re eating too close to meals, excuse me, too close to bedtime, you can have indigestion. You can have a number of different things that can cause disruption to your sleep. Two hours before bed, no work or no stimulation. You really want to, yeah, I know, I’m a culprit of this. It is, it is. It’s one of those things where I’m like, what’s the phrase? ⁓ Don’t do as I say. Yes, that’s it. Yep, so I’m a bad one on that, because I’m a workaholic. But yes, no more work two hours before bed. And it’s really just trying to unwind and kind of decrease your stimulation. That’s the real reason. Cheryl McColgan (24:13)That’s a hard one. Do as I say, not as I do. Christo (24:38)One hour before bed, no screen time. And this is something where I say, mean it, no screen time. Blue, I talked to a sleep medicine doctor last year or so, and she’s a great friend of mine. And she just says, how many people are, we’re all so glued to our phones. And not only that, it’s like a fifth appendage where we’re sleeping, it’s right next to our beds. And the, one of the best tips that she gave me was, to use an actual alarm clock. Get that phone away from your bed. You don’t need it when you’re in the bedroom. It’s, know, emergencies happen and whatnot, so you can have it somewhere nearby, but it doesn’t need to be an arm’s length. anyway, no screen time after one hour before bed. And then the zero is a little bit different. It’s the number of snoozes were allowed, or ideally allowed, zero. Cheryl McColgan (25:34)you Christo (25:36)And that really focuses on having a consistent wake time. And that’s even something that we wanna do on our days off from work. And the reason being actually does relate to one of the risk factors for cancer is circadian rhythm disruption. If you have a consistent wake time, your body is just much happier. it works more efficiently. The nighttime maintenance things that we talked about are more, just work better. And you really, you keep that wake time and then if you have to adjust your bedtime, you adjust your bedtime to something earlier. But a consistent wake time is something that is a forever rule of thumb if we’re able to. Cheryl McColgan (26:21)Well good, I’ve got to work on the zero and the two probably a little bit for myself. ⁓ Christo (26:27)Yeah, yes, none of us are going to be perfect at this. An 80-20 rule, try to aim for 80 % of these, 20%, give yourself some grace. Cheryl McColgan (26:36)Yes, progress over perfection, one of my favorite things. So ⁓ one thing that we didn’t hit on yet that I think is fairly important for cancer stuff, and I think it’s, it’s good because there’s a trend, there’s a downward trend in alcohol consumption, I think since the pandemic, basically. And I think everyone has always known that alcohol consumption is related to cancer, but somehow it wasn’t being driven home as much as it has maybe the last Christo (26:39)Yes, exactly. Yeah. Yeah. Mm-hmm. Yeah. Cheryl McColgan (27:06)five to 10 years. So we’d just love to get your thoughts on that. mean, nobody wants to hear this if you like, you know, having a glass of wine with your steak or something like that. But, but I think, you know, minimizing these things, like we’re talking about minimizing environmental exposures, maximizing sleep, I mean, can we talk a little bit about it? Because it’s going to be unpopular, but it is a thing. Christo (27:08)Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So I try to tiptoe just to be gentle with this because people do have strong feelings like I want my red wine at night and you can’t convince me otherwise. There’s a lot of topics to talk about. There’s a lot of discussion points. The plain answer here is no amount of alcohol is Cheryl McColgan (27:28)you Christo (27:44)helpful for your health, okay? So there’s no benefit to it. Some people who drink red wine say there’s, you know, the, my God, nitro, it’s skipping my, yes, Reservatrol, yes, thank you so much. Is helpful for you, yes, it is, but so are having a handful of grapes and you don’t have to have it in a wine form. ⁓ So there’s, Cheryl McColgan (27:52)Reservitrol. I think I read that to get enough Reservatrol, you’d have to drink like 25 barrels of wine or something to get so it’s like, it’s not even a thing. Christo (28:08)Exactly. Yeah. It’s one of those reasons that Hawaiian connoisseurs are like, yeah, well, it’s fine. I’m one of those people where you have to enjoy life too. it’s, you know, take everything with a grain of salt. But yeah. And then a lot of people actually bring up like the blue zones. Have you heard of the blue zones before? Yeah. Perfect. So blue zones, one of the discussion points Cheryl McColgan (28:27)Absolutely. Yeah, we talked about it a little bit on the podcast. Christo (28:35)is having red wine in moderation during meals when you’re socializing. So when you’re watching Netflix having a bottle of red wine, it’s not the same as having a glass of wine slowly over a couple hours with dinner socializing, which is a protective factor for your health. So it’s a little bit different. It’s kind of a scenario. ⁓ but yeah, they used to kind of say two drinks for men, one drink for women per day. That’s, that’s changed. There’s another, the most recent administration came out with new dietary guidelines, for Americans just maybe a month ago or so. lots of talking points there. We won’t go too into that, but there is one regarding alcohol and they They kind of, I’m trying to word this correctly, they said enjoying some alcohol in moderation isn’t advised, but it’s it’s okay to do, which I think where they’re coming from with that is trying to have social connections, it’s a, because the reality is a lot of people do enjoy alcohol together and it brings people together and there are, health benefits to that. The alcohol standpoint, as I said, no organizations recommend any healthy amount of alcohol, but there is something to be said about enjoying your life and having social connections and bringing people together. And I think that is positive. I think they at least nailed that part for sure. Yeah. Cheryl McColgan (30:13)Yeah, and I would agree with you that I think that that having traveled extensively in the Mediterranean that that is where, you know, there’s a lot of issues with those Blue Zone studies, right? We don’t need to go into all that today. But I think that the one that probably everybody can agree on is the importance of community and support systems and the amount of movement that all of those zones get. They’re very active. They have this great support and connection and they have this community that a lot of other places in the world don’t have. So whatever you think about their diet or their wine consumption or Christo (30:24)Yes, yeah. Yeah. 100%. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Cheryl McColgan (30:43)of that I think that we can agree on the rest of it for sure. Christo (30:47)Yeah, you’re nailing it on the head because when we have these discussions, if you see these other very in-depth evidence-based discussions online, we’re really zooming in on one little thing. And the reality is it’s the totality of our lifestyle that affects our health outcomes. Having a glass of wine, I’m not gonna say don’t do it. But what’s the rest of your health look like? What’s rest of your lifestyle look like? We have to be reasonable about it and not getting a good night’s sleep here and there, no big deal. But if it’s a consistent chronic issue, sure, then you address something. But a lot of us have the idea of any 20 or progress over perfection. It’s just the idea of trying to do our best to improve and giving ourselves some grace. as we alluded to way back when, in the beginning of this conversation, what we’re doing right now for most people in this country, we’re not successful with our health. We just simply aren’t. And so we have to start addressing these issues more head on and figuring out what can we start changing? And that kind of brings up another point. A lot of us know what’s healthy. We know what’s healthy, but we’re not so good at how to make effective change and how to keep those change long, you know, as a sustainable habits for ourselves. And I think that’s something that we could all kind of work on, especially the health and fitness professionals teaching people how to do those things. Cheryl McColgan (32:26)Yeah, that’s that’s one of the huge focuses of my work is to have my background in psychology. So the whole habit change is something that’s been a very long time interest of mine. And so it’s Yeah. So since you brought Thank you. Yeah. Since you brought that up, I want to be respectful of your time. But I think just one final one final actionable thing that we could have here is in you. Like you said, you’ve been a personal trainer, your lifestyle, medicine, doctor, that probably is the biggest challenge for me. I think everybody at this point Christo (32:32)⁓ yes. Yeah, I saw the 30 day challenge too. Love it. Love it. No, it’s okay. Cheryl McColgan (32:56)they should be doing, they know they should be moving more, know they should be eating better, they know they shouldn’t be drinking too much, but at the execution of it. So what would be your best tips for people on how to actually make changes in your experience? Like what’s been the most successful? Christo (32:59)Yeah. Yeah. Mmm. Yeah, really good question. So I am a big proponent of utilizing the current routines you have and adding on to them. It’s a lot harder to start something brand new. So if you’re able to, so say in the morning you already, you you brush your teeth, you wash your face. Well, you know, start adding in healthy habits to that existing routine and do that. Most habits take a. The science says 66 days if you’re doing it every single day. It’s really about the repetition. And our brains, they’re neuroplastic. So we can learn to do these things. We can be successful in them. The idea is just making sure we do them repetitively enough that it sticks. Just like swinging a baseball bat and learning how to play baseball or work on the computer and getting better at typing or whatever analogy you wanna use. We can do that with our lifestyle as well. And I think most of us have some sort of routines already. So we wanna kinda zoom out, look at our routines. What can you add into that routine that’s going to improve your health? What are you trying to improve? And once you kinda get that awareness, you’re able to add something in. Do it every single day. I use the rule of twos. I kinda made this up, but for two months, do a new habit for two months. without missing two consecutive days. And that is something that kind of, again, points to the consistency repetition. And then once you get that, add onto it. Start small and build up, and over time, you’re gonna have this considerable change that’s gonna be really, make a big impact on your health. Yeah. Cheryl McColgan (34:51)Yeah, I love that two days rule because part of that you mentioned the 30 day challenge part of it was like not making people overly stressed about it like hey, if you miss a day, it’s fine. But the challenge with that is it’s okay to miss a day, but you don’t want to miss like two, three, four, then all of a sudden, it’s not a habit anymore. So I love that just don’t miss two days in a row. That’s very good. Christo (34:59)Yes. Yeah, exactly. Yeah, easy to remember. Cheryl McColgan (35:11)so we’ve covered some awesome information today. And I’m really excited for people to connect with you. Can you share your website, tell them about some of the programs we talked about before we have for professionals for regular folks, what are all the good things that people can learn from you? Christo (35:25)Yeah, absolutely. So atlasmd360.com, it has a bunch of resources, a of free resources as well. You can do a health audit assessment, you can take some quizzes, there’s a free 30 minute course, there are free resources on how to improve your ⁓ heart lab work, and a bunch of other things. And if you are a professional looking for continuing education, There are approved accredited programs for health and wellness coaches, personal trainers, and AMA category one credits for a bunch of physicians and NPs and PAs. And then if you are non-professional and you’re looking to improve any part of your lifestyle, there are programs for you as well. But overall, we have a lot of free resources and I just, hope when I these podcasts, I honestly just hope One person learned something good that they can take away from this and make some positive difference. Cheryl McColgan (36:23)Well, Dr. Frangopoulos, I have no doubt whatsoever that people learned way more than one thing in this conversation. And I just want to thank you for sharing your time and knowledge today. So I appreciate it. Christo (36:28)I hope so. I hope so. Thank you Cheryl for having me. I appreciate it and I’m loving what you’re doing so keep it up. It’s awesome. Cheryl McColgan (36:39)Thank you.

From Dream to Reality Winchester's dining scene welcomes a fresh voice as Bistro Sojo opens its doors, bringing Mediterranean and tropical flavors to downtown Winchester. Host of The Valley Today, Janet Michael and cohost Justin Kerns from VisitWinchesterVA.com sit down with owners Felix and Martha Addison to uncover the story behind Winchester's most talked-about new restaurant. The Addisons didn't rush into this venture. After moving to the area from Reston, Virginia in 2006, they harbored dreams of opening a restaurant but recognized the timing wasn't right. Instead, they built their reputation gradually, launching their first food truck, Roaming Bistro, in 2016. Two years later, they added Three Fires Pizza, a mobile wood-fired operation serving Neapolitan-style pizza. For years, loyal customers asked the inevitable question: "When are you getting a storefront?" "You don't get a storefront because people want to see a storefront," Felix explains. "You get a storefront when everything is sustainable." That moment finally arrived in late 2024. The Space That Feels Like Home Walking into Bistro Sojo reveals an immediate transformation from its previous incarnation as La Nicoise. Martha knew exactly what she wanted the moment she saw the space, though Felix admits he had no vision at first. Working with architect Kyle Hopkins of Four Square Architects, they turned Martha's dream into reality. The building's age dictated the design approach. "I couldn't make the ceilings higher," Martha notes. "So I couldn't do the modern stuff. But I could do the cozy." The result feels welcoming rather than imposing, with artwork playing a central role in the atmosphere. Local nonprofit Arte Libre created stunning murals throughout the space, while Zach Anderson painted the striking Royal Birds mural at the reception area and bar. The artwork serves a deeply personal purpose—the little girl in one mural reminds Martha of her daughter, while ocean scenes transport diners to distant shores. Meanwhile, vibrant orange flowers beneath the bar captivate visitors, with Janet confessing she's been contemplating recreating the design on a wall at home. Despite the spacious feel, the restaurant actually seats fewer guests than the previous establishment. The building's occupancy limit, which had been grandfathered in for years, came under scrutiny when the Addisons applied for permits. What was once zoned for 65 now accommodates about 50, including staff. Yet clever design makes the space feel larger and more open than before. A Name Rooted in Family The restaurant's name carries profound meaning. Sojo combines the first syllables of Sophia (Felix's mother) and Jonathan (his father), while also honoring the couple's two children, who bear those same names. "It's a hard J," Felix emphasizes. "It's not Soho. It's Sojo." This family connection extends beyond the name into every aspect of the operation, from the recipes tested at home on dinner guests to the warm hospitality that greets every visitor. The Menu: A Culinary Passport Bistro Sojo takes diners on what Felix calls "a culinary journey from the Mediterranean to the tropics." The menu draws inspiration from Southern Mediterranean and North African cuisines, incorporating warm spices that create depth without heat. Cardamom, nutmeg, star anise, and cloves meld together in unexpected combinations, each dish featuring three or four carefully selected spices that complement the main ingredients. The philosophy borrows from Blue Zone regions, areas where populations reportedly live the longest based on their diets. "We try to make sure we are cognizant of the food that we serve," Felix explains. The kitchen doesn't even have a microwave—everything arrives freshly cooked and freshly sauced. Seasonal ingredients drive the menu, with the Addisons partnering with Chilly Hollow Farm in Berryville for produce. "Whatever they have is what I would make sure I have in here," Martha says. This commitment to seasonality means the menu evolves, with hearty oxtail dishes giving way to spring peas and fresh greens as the weather warms. Current standouts include the surprisingly popular chicken and couscous, the beloved squash and burrata salad, and an unexpected hit—grilled romaine with house-made blue cheese dressing. Meanwhile, Martha's personal favorites lean toward the vegetable-forward dishes, particularly the fried plantains with beans. Remarkably, 98-99% of everything comes from scratch, made in-house. The commitment to quality and transparency stems from knowing exactly what goes into every dish. The Drink That Won Hearts Before even discussing the food, Justin finds himself captivated by a house specialty drink. What he initially assumes came from a container in the back turns out to be Sobolo, a popular West African beverage made from fresh ingredients. The recipe calls for dried hibiscus leaves, freshly grated ginger, freshly squeezed lemons, handfuls of cloves, and star anise. After steeping and straining, the mixture chills before being poured over ice. The result serves as both a palate cleanser and thirst quencher, while also forming the base for all house cocktails. One particular cocktail, the Muddy Waters, earned recognition at Winchester on the Rocks. Initially, the drink's sandy, grainy appearance seemed problematic, but attempts to refine it diminished the flavor Felix loved. The solution? Own it. The name became a tribute to blues icon Muddy Waters, who happened to be a bourbon drinker himself—the cocktail's key spirit. Welcoming Everyone to the Table Personal experience shapes the restaurant's inclusive approach to dining. When Martha's son was young, he had borderline celiac disease. Twenty years ago, finding restaurants that understood gluten-free needs proved nearly impossible. "Most people didn't even know they had allergies," Martha recalls. "They just lived sick." The family started cooking at home, making meals special despite the restrictions. That experience now informs every menu decision at Bistro Sojo. Guests can find gluten-free, dairy-free, and vegan options throughout the menu. "You can come with any of your sensitivities and intolerances and know that there's an option for you," Martha promises. Justin emphasizes the tourism significance of this commitment. Travelers with allergies often feel anxious about dining away from their safe home restaurants. When Winchester's tourism office works with travel writers and groups, dietary accommodations consistently rank as a top concern. Having restaurants that take sensitivities seriously makes Winchester a safer, more welcoming destination. Standing Out in Winchester's Dining Scene The Addisons deliberately chose a menu unlike anything else in Winchester. "We would not want to do what most of the restaurants were doing because they were doing it so well," Felix explains. "We weren't gonna compete with them doing what they do so well." Instead, they turned to what they naturally cooked at home—Mediterranean and tropical cuisines that reflected their heritage and passion. Most dishes on the menu underwent testing with dinner guests at home before ever reaching the restaurant, ensuring each one met their exacting standards. This uniqueness serves Winchester's tourism mission perfectly. Visitors seek locally owned establishments offering flavors they can't find at home. They want stories to share when they return—tales of discovering a restaurant named after the owner's parents, sipping an award-winning hibiscus cocktail, or experiencing cuisine inspired by the world's healthiest populations. "That's what people are looking for," Justin notes. "Unique stories. So they can go home and say, 'I went to this restaurant that was named after his mom and his dad, they have the best drink, this is a unique thing.'" Bistro Sojo delivers exactly that experience. The Brunch Experience Beyond dinner service Wednesday through Saturday (4:00 PM to 9:00 PM, last reservation at 8:30), Bistro Sojo offers Sunday brunch from 10:30 AM to 3:00 PM. While brunch is still building momentum since launching in late November, the Addisons welcome walk-ins during this time. Janet, admittedly not a morning person, celebrates the timing. "I don't believe that eight, nine o'clock should exist ever, especially not on a weekend," she jokes. "A brunch at 10 or 10:30, particularly on a Sunday, is right up my alley." Planning Your Visit The intimate 40-seat space means reservations become essential on busy nights. While two-person walk-ins usually find accommodation, larger parties should book ahead, especially on Fridays and Saturdays. Wednesday and Thursday evenings offer the best chance for spontaneous visits. When First Fridays returns to downtown Winchester's pedestrian mall, the restaurant expects even higher demand. Guests can make reservations online through bistrosojo.com or via Google, embracing the convenience modern diners appreciate. As for whether the restaurant welcomes families with children, Martha offers an honest assessment. While they've accommodated kids, the adventurous menu might challenge picky eaters. However, the kitchen keeps some "American-friendly" emergency backup options for children who won't eat anything on the regular menu. Janet appreciates this candor, noting she's reached the stage of life where dining without children appeals to her. The intimate setting naturally encourages conversation between neighboring tables, with guests sometimes exchanging phone numbers after bonding over the food and experience. A Labor of Love From food trucks to fine dining, the Addisons' journey spans nearly two decades of preparation. Their brick-and-mortar dream required patience, planning, and the help of skilled local partners—from architect Kyle Hopkins to the artists who brought the space to life, to the farmers who supply fresh ingredients. "We asked for this, we wanted this, and we've been waiting for this," Felix reflects.

Welcome back Heal Squad to our Part 2 with Dr. Jeffrey Bland, the Father of Functional Medicine. This episode is PACKED with revelations about how your immune system works and what actually helps your body heal. Dr. Bland breaks down the Systemic Immune Index (SII) … a simple calculation from your standard bloodwork that acts like a “dashboard light” for your immune resilience. It's something our physicians all have and if your number is off, he explains the importance of bringing it back into balance. Then he drops MAJOR nutritional truth bombs: why Tartary buckwheat, a forgotten crop may be the most powerful immune-supporting superfood in the world, why polyphenols are the secret sauce of Blue Zone longevity, and which supplements actually help versus which ones are just ultra-processed hype. This conversation is hopeful, empowering, and gives you real tools to build better immunity, better aging, and a better relationship with your health, starting today. Enjoy! HEALERS & HEAL-LINERS:  Tartary Buckwheat Is the Immune Superfood We've Been Missing It delivers up to 100x more polyphenols than regular buckwheat, boosts immune resilience, improves metabolic function, and offers powerful nutrient density — especially when sprouted. Polyphenols, Omega-3s & Probiotics Are the Real Supplement “Big 3 But quality matters: Choose minimally processed fish oils (like Alaskan fish liver oil), Add polyphenol-rich foods, Support gut immunity with pre + probiotics And skip the ultra-processed supplements pretending to be “anti-inflammatory.” HEAL SQUAD SOCIALS IG: https://www.instagram.com/healsquad/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@healsquadxmaria HEAL SQUAD RESOURCES: Heal Squad Website:https://www.healsquad.com/ Heal Squad x Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/HealSquad/membership Maria Menounos Website: https://www.mariamenounos.com My Curated Macy's Page: Shop My Macy's Storefront EMR-Tek Red Light: https://emr-tek.com/discount/Maria30 for 30% off Airbnb: https://www.airbnb.com/  Briotech: https://shopbriotech.com/ Use Code: HEALSQUAD for 20% off  GUEST RESOURCES: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drjeffreybland/?hl=en  Website: https://jeffreybland.com/ Big Bold Health: https://bigboldhealth.com The Systemic Inflammation Index ABOUT MARIA MENOUNOS: Emmy Award-winning journalist, TV personality, actress, 2x NYT best-selling author, former pro-wrestler and brain tumor survivor, Maria Menounos' passion is to see others heal and to get better in all areas of life.

Dr. Michael Greger reveals that the number one cause of death in America isn't cancer or heart disease alone, it's our diet, which kills more people than cigarette smoking every year. His grandmother was given a medical death sentence at 65, confined to a wheelchair with end stage heart disease, yet she lived another 31 years to age 96 simply by changing what she ate. This personal transformation inspired him to abandon traditional medicine's drug and surgery approach and dedicate his life to uncovering how food can prevent, arrest, and even reverse our leading killers. You'll walk away understanding that only 25% of your lifespan is determined by genetics, the rest is in your control through lifestyle choices you can start making today.Dr. Grerger's books:How Not to DieThe How Not to Die CookbookHow Not to DietHow to Survive a PandemicThe How Not to Diet CookbookHow Not to AgeThe How Not to Age CookbookLower LDL Cholesterol Naturally with FoodIn this episode you will:Discover why the American diet is deadlier than cigarette smoking and how simple food swaps can add 14 years to your lifeLearn the five core foods that Blue Zone populations credit for living to 100 with vitality and how to incorporate them into every mealUnderstand why eating breakfast and skipping dinner is more powerful for longevity than the reverse, based on your circadian biologyMaster the potassium salt switch that clinical trials show can reduce your risk of premature death by 40% with zero downsideBreak free from the confusion about supplements and processed foods by learning why whole plant foods contain thousands of compounds science hasn't even discovered yetFor more information go to https://lewishowes.com/1856For more Greatness text PODCAST to +1 (614) 350-3960More SOG episodes we think you'll love:Dr. Jessica Knurick – greatness.lnk.to/1845SCDr. William Li  – greatness.lnk.to/1410SCGlucose Goddess – greatness.lnk.to/1575SC Get more from Lewis!
