In this episode of To The Root, Robyn Spangler tackles a widespread myth in the skin health world: that Candida is the root cause of acne and other chronic skin conditions. While Candida overgrowth may play a role in certain symptoms, Robyn explains why it's rarely the primary driver — and why simply following anti-Candida diets or supplement protocols often fails to deliver lasting results.Drawing on over a decade of clinical experience, Robyn walks through the deeper terrain issues that allow Candida to thrive: compromised digestion, heavy metal overload, mineral depletion, chronic stress, poor liver detoxification, and more. She shares how addressing these root factors — rather than targeting Candida in isolation — creates a stronger foundation for true skin healing.If you've struggled with recurring acne, eczema, or rashes and suspect Candida may be involved, this episode offers a clear, research-informed perspective on what it takes to support your body and restore balance long-term.Listen now!Highlights:Why Candida is typically a symptom — not the root cause — of chronic skin issuesKey internal factors that contribute to Candida overgrowth.The link between Candida and skin conditions such as fungal acne, eczema, dermatitis, and histamine-related flaresWhy temporary improvements from Candida protocols often don't lastThe importance of assessing nutrient status, hormone balance, and digestive healthHow functional testing and a whole-body approach can lead to sustainable skin healingConnect with Robyn:Instagram: @nutritionbyrobyn Website: https://www.theclearskinlab.com

Packaging is an undeniable part of daily life—from containers that store the food we eat and the products we use to the packages that arrive on our doorstep. This necessity plays a major role in one of the planet's most pressing challenges: pollution. Packaging waste is clogging ecosystems and contributing to a health crisis that affects both people and the planet. As consumer demand for sustainable solutions grows, the packaging industry stands at a crossroads—one that calls for innovation, long-term thinking, and moral responsibility.We invited Wes Carter, President of Atlantic Packaging, to explain how his family-owned company is creating a more sustainable future. Atlantic Packaging is proving that packaging, purpose, and profit can go hand in hand through initiatives like A New Earth Project and the company's state-of-the-art Packaging Solution Center, where the company partners with major brands to design custom sustainable packaging for products. Equally committed to employee wellbeing, Atlantic Packaging embeds health into its employee culture through biometric screenings and holistic wellness programs, recognizing that human and environmental health are deeply connected.In rethinking both packaging and purpose, Atlantic Packaging is building a legacy not just of innovation, but of stewardship, responsibility, and opportunity.Listen for key insights on:Building packaging solutions that are both brand-enhancing and planet-friendlyEmbedding sustainability into business strategy through innovation and educationCreating holistic employee wellness programs rooted in physical, mental, and emotional healthHow purpose, legacy, and personal values shape leadership and drive long-term impact Resources + Links:Wes Carter's LinkedInA New Earth ProjectPackaging Solution CenterFishbone Sustainable Wellness CarriersAtlantic Wellness (00:00) - Welcome to Purpose 360 (00:13) - Meet Wes Carter, Atlantic Packaging (02:38) - Atlantic Packaging (07:28) - Wes' Purpose (10:19) - Packaging Solution Center (13:10) - Fishbone C-Clip (14:22) - Health (17:14) - A New Earth Project (19:43) - Storytelling (21:12) - Connections (23:23) - Recommendations (25:16) - Last Thoughts (27:35) - Wrap Up

41. A powerful story about burnout, boundaries, and reclaiming your life. It's Mental Health Awareness Month—and let's be real: for moms, May might just be the most mentally exhausting month of the year. Talent shows. Awards ceremonies. Prom. Final projects. Finals. You name it—May has it. I'm in the thick of it. My daughter's graduating in mere weeks, and the calendar is jam-packed with celebration and emotion, stretching me very thin. That is exactly why we're revisiting this powerful conversation. In this episode, I sat down with Work Muse clients Mary Kaye Stuart and Sommer Hruska, whose job share was born from the toll of a demanding job on Mary Kaye's health and a deep need for change. Mary Kaye hit a wall, and instead of pushing through, she got honest about what she needed… and did something about it. Here's what you'll learn in this episode: Why burnout isn't just about stress—it's about unsustainable systemsHow Mary Kaye and Sommer created a job share arrangement that saved her career and wellbeingWhy job sharing is a practical AND powerful solution for long-term healthHow you can use job sharing to build in boundaries, breathing room, and balanceA doctor's sage advice for longevity and a young mother's determination to find more time for her children and homestead might have been the impetus. However, job sharing led both Mary Kaye and Sommer to enjoy other parts of life society "doesn't deem as worthy" like exploring passions such as writing and being truly present with one's children and self. If you're feeling the weight of it all—this one's for you. Especially if you've ever whispered to yourself, “There has to be a better way…” There is. And this episode shows you what it can look like. It may just be the wake-up call you need to consider sharing your job.Links mentioned:Work Muse Guide to Job Sharing (Free Guide)Job Share, Live Life + Slay Work Facebook GroupDM me on LinkedInEpisode Website: workmuse.com/41Transcript here.Send Melissa a Text Message.RATE, REVIEW & FOLLOW ON APPLE PODCASTS Thank you for supporting my bootstrapped social good business and mission! “I love Melissa and Jobshare Revolution.”

Who said too much TV isn't good for you? Hosts of the TV Doctor podcast are here to chat about why actually, TV can be the perfect prescription for your wellness.

In this episode, Dr. Cassandre Dunbar is joined by media experts Dr. Michele Foss and Ashley Johnson, the dynamic duo behind The TV Doc Podcast.
