Ep 103 | Kari Davis came on the show to talk essential oils and non-toxic living—and then got beautifully, wonderfully real about grief, faith, and rebuilding a life from scratch.In 2015, Kari's husband passed away suddenly. She was 38, with three kids ages 4, 9, and 11, and a life that had just changed completely. What she discovered in that season is something I think a lot of us need to hear—that the tools you've already built into your home, your faith, your essential oils, your commitment to living clean, those things don't just support your physical health. They hold you together when everything else falls apart.We talk about what it looks like to create a calm, safe home for kids who are grieving. We talk about the emotional side of essential oils that most people never explore. And we talk about how Kari found her way back—to herself, to joy, and eventually to love again.If you've ever felt like the non-toxic lifestyle you've worked so hard to build was somehow not enough when life got hard, this one is for you.

Start Being a Student of Your Health: Dr. Henry Ealy on Nutrition, Energy, and Healing Episode Description In this episode of Conversations with a Chiropractor, Dr. Stephanie Wautier sits down with Dr. Henry Ealy, also known as Dr. H, founder of the Energetic Health Institute. Dr. Ealy is a teacher, healer, curriculum developer, and natural health educator whose work centers on a powerful idea: people should not just be passive patients, they should become active students of their own health. This conversation moves through nutrition, energy, mitochondria, red light therapy, environmental stressors, EMFs, grounding, detoxification, and the importance of learning how the body is designed to heal. The conversation also touches on environmental health concerns, including air quality, chemtrails, infrared sauna use, sweating, and how Dr. Ealy thinks about reducing the body's toxic burden. Dr. Ealy shares why he believes the foundation of health education should begin with nutrition, and why understanding the body's energy production can change how people think about fatigue, symptoms, and long-term wellness. Stephanie and Dr. Ealy also talk about the confusion many people feel when trying to make healthier choices. From supplements and red light tools to grounding products and natural healing approaches, it can be difficult to know what is real, what is marketing, and what is worth trusting. This episode includes strong perspectives, challenging ideas, and a call for deeper curiosity. It is meant to inform, spark thought, and encourage personal responsibility, not replace individualized medical care. If you are making changes to your health, medications, supplements, detox practices, fasting, or treatment plan, work with a qualified healthcare professional who understands your personal situation. In This Episode, Discover Dr. Henry Ealy's early experiences with medicine and how they shaped his path Why he believes the word "doctor" should mean "teacher" The difference between being a passive patient and becoming a student of your health Why nutrition is central to Dr. Ealy's approach to healing and education How the Energetic Health Institute teaches holistic nutrition, detoxification, and natural medicine Why Dr. Ealy believes mitochondrial energy production is a key part of understanding health The role fatigue may play as a common thread in many health challenges How nutrition, chiropractic, bodywork, acupuncture, and exercise may work better when the body is properly supported Why consumers need help sorting through health products, supplement claims, and wellness marketing What Dr. Ealy looks for when evaluating companies and products he trusts How red light therapy, grounding, sleep, and daily routines fit into his larger health philosophy The conversation around EMFs, environmental toxins, air quality, chemtrails, and toxic burden Why Stephanie and Dr. Ealy emphasize doing your homework before trying intense cleanses, detoxes, or supplements The purpose of the Healing Made Easy membership Why small steps, repeated over time, may help people feel more confident and capable in their own health journey Stay Connected & Explore Learn More About Dr. Henry Ealy and the Energetic Health Institute: Energetic Health Institute: https://www.energetichealthinstitute.org/ Meet Dr. H: https://www.energetichealthinstitute.org/meet-dr-h/ Healing Made Easy: https://www.energetichealthinstitute.org/healing-made-easy/ Companies We Trust: https://www.energetichealthinstitute.org/companies-we-trust/ Books by Dr. Ealy / Dr. Henele: https://drhenele.com/ Connect with Conversations with a Chiropractor: Follow Us on YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/@ConversationswithaChiro Follow Dr. Stephanie on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/wautierwellness Email for show-related inquiries and sponsorships: drstephaniewautier@yahoo.com Want to be a guest on Conversations with a Chiropractor?

Ep 102 | What if your home was making you feel worse—and you didn't even realize it? This week's guest went from being bedridden and relying on a walker, service dog, and full-time caregiver to whitewater kayaking in the Northwoods. And along the way, she discovered something surprising: her environment may have been working against her healing instead of supporting it.Antoinette Lee shares one of the most powerful healing-home stories I've heard. We talk about toxic off-gassing, chronic stress, nervous system overload, intentional design, and the connection between our living spaces and whole-body wellbeing. If you've ever walked into your home and felt drained, restless, or like something just feels "off," this conversation offers a different lens.

Ep 101 | Some people step into the sauna and are sweating in five minutes flat. Others sit there wondering if their body got the memo. Either way—this one's for you.In this Ask Jen episode, she covers the heat therapy questions she gets asked most—supplements she actually uses and the ones she'd approach with real caution, how to raise your body temperature before you even step inside, dry brushing technique and why it belongs in your sauna routine, and a handful of grounding rituals for the days when a good sweat just isn't quite enough.

Ep 100 | What started as a passion for healing homes, infrared saunas, and intentional living has grown into a podcast rooted in wellness and human connection.In this milestone episode, Jen gets personal about the real reason Homes That Heal exists—from a health crisis that changed everything, to building a wellness home that became a lifeline for her whole family. She reflects on the journey, shares behind-the-scenes moments she's never talked about publicly, and looks ahead to some exciting announcements, including a Sauna 101 book, a new membership community, a Homes That Heal program, and an in-person wellness retreat.

Ep 99 | Most of us choose our home based on bedrooms, budget, and maybe the kitchen countertops. Turns out, there's a whole lot more worth thinking about.In this episode, Jen sits down with realtor, builder, and author Kim Costa to explore the powerful connection between your home environment and your health, happiness, and overall wellbeing.

This is why Andra helps busy people recharge their bodies and minds through relaxing in a full-spectrum infrared sauna and float suite—so they can show up better at work, at home, and in life.Floating is as close as adults come to returning to the womb. There's a deep sense of safety and being that enables the ability to let go, be free and experience the calming effects of being truly plugged into the present moment. Floating supports decision-making, confidence, and an easeful path forward.She also discovered that Infrared sauna is one of the most proactive ways to be healthy and stay healthy! Sweating is the body's natural and safe way to eliminate toxins, and Far infrared (FIR) wavelengths amplify this process by reaching deepest into the body, where toxins are stored, breaking them apart so they can be released through sweat.Find Andra at-IG- @pusesweatsouthjordanhttps://www.puresweatstudios.com/south-jordan-utahFind Boundless Body at-myboundlessbody.comBook a session with us here! 

Are infrared saunas as effective as traditional ones?If you've ever sat sweating on a wooden bench in a traditional ('Finnish') sauna wondering if there was an easier way, could infrared be the answer? Infrared saunas work at lower temperatures, ostensibly making it easier to stay in there for longer. Listener Paul got in touch after trying one and wants to know if infrared saunas give you the same purported benefits as traditional ones. Those claims include: improved cardiovascular health, weight loss, longevity and even benefits to mental health and depression. But what's the evidence and does it amount to a load of hot air?To get the answers, Greg Foot is joined by Professor Chris Minson, an expert in the effects of heat on the body who's carried out research on infrared saunas. All of our episodes start with YOUR suggestions.

Ep 97 | What if your home isn't just a backdrop to your life, but actively shaping how you feel every single day? In this episode, Jen sits down with designer and feng shui master Lisa Morton to talk about what it means to create a healing home, and why clearing clutter might be the most underrated wellness practice you're not doing.This one goes deep. From the emotional weight of "meaningful clutter" to the ancient feng shui principle that can change how your nervous system responds to a room. Lisa brings a grounded, practical approach to home energy that's anything but woo. Whether you've been curious about feng shui for a while or you just know something in your space feels off, this conversation will give you a whole new way to look at your home.

Ep 96 | What happens when you do everything “right” in the medical system and still have to figure out your own personalized path to healing? Freddie Kimmel knows that territory… and he lived to build a map for the rest of us.Freddie survived testicular cancer, Lyme disease, heavy metal toxicity, and years of chronic illness that left him bedridden, broke, and searching for answers Western medicine couldn't give him. In this episode, he walks us through his winding road of recovery—from Broadway stages and emergency surgeries to discovering tools like PEMF therapy, infrared saunas, lymphatic drainage, and oxygen therapy that actually moved the needle.This is personalized biohacking in the truest sense: not “here's the protocol,” but “here's how to ask better questions about your own body” especially when navigating cancer recovery, Lyme disease, and chronic illness.

Infrared saunas have gone mainstream, but most people still don't know how they work. In this episode, Jeff talks with Connie Zack, co-founder of Sunlighten, about the science behind infrared light therapy: why it penetrates the skin differently, what it does to your mitochondria, and how consistent use supports whole-body health.

In this episode, we explore how infrared sauna use and infrared light therapy can support hormonal balance and mental health. Unlike traditional saunas, infrared heat penetrates the body more deeply at lower temperatures, helping activate the parasympathetic nervous system and reduce cortisol levels. This stress-lowering effect plays a key role in supporting hormones, including thyroid function, insulin sensitivity, and overall endocrine balance.Infrared light therapy, particularly red and near-infrared wavelengths, works at the cellular level by boosting mitochondrial function and increasing energy production (ATP). This can enhance recovery, reduce inflammation, and support brain health. These cellular benefits may also contribute to improved mood, with research suggesting positive effects on anxiety, depression, and neurotransmitter balance.Both infrared sauna and light therapy can promote endorphin release, improve circulation, and support better sleep—key factors for mental clarity and emotional well-being. When used consistently and alongside healthy lifestyle habits, they can be powerful tools for managing stress, optimizing hormones, and enhancing overall resilience.Connie Zack is the co-founder of Sunlighten, the global leader in infrared sauna and light therapy. Inspired by her brother's health transformation, she and her husband, Aaron, left successful pharmaceutical careers to revolutionize the industry with science-backed innovations. Connie is a pioneer in infrared light technology, driving widespread education on its benefits through collaborative partnerships. A passionate advocate for holistic health, Connie integrates nutrition, exercise, mindfulness, and infrared therapy into her life. As a mother, wife, wellness enthusiast, entrepreneur, she brings light, hope and happiness to the world through her expertise in how infrared light and heat impacts healthy lifespan. Shop Sunlighten Saunas (mention me for a discount!)

Ep 94 | What does it take to come back from a life-altering injury—and not just recover, but rebuild stronger than before? This episode dives into grit, recovery, and mindset. It's a powerful reminder of what the human body and mind are capable of.In this conversation, we explore the reality of injury recovery, resilience, and endurance training when everything you thought defined you is suddenly gone. Sean Hackney shares how a catastrophic knee injury nearly led to amputation and how that moment became the catalyst for a completely new path.We also talk about how his mom's cancer battle became a deeper source of purpose, fueling his journey to complete 11 full Ironmans and over 20 half Ironmans. This isn't just about racing; it's about identity, discipline, and how grit and resilience shape long-term healing and transformation.

Jen Heller is a functional wellness consultant and infrared sauna expert who has spent nearly two decades helping people understand how to use healing tools — especially infrared saunas — safely and effectively. In this episode, she opens up about the health crisis that started it all: crushing fatigue, brain fog, and 100 pounds of unexplained weight gain in her mid-twenties that conventional medicine wanted to address with surgery. A chance introduction to Nutrition Response Testing revealed off-the-charts heavy metal toxicity — and an infrared sauna as her path forward. That single recommendation changed the trajectory of her life and eventually led to her platform, her podcast Homes That Heal, and her consulting practice. Freddie and Jen also get real about the mental health challenges facing so many people today — and why creating intentional, healing-centered spaces and communities matters more than ever. From Jen's "Heller Haven" retreat home to Freddie's backyard sauna gatherings, this conversation is a reminder that healing doesn't have to be clinical or solitary. Whether you're navigating a serious health protocol or simply trying to feel better in your own body, Jen's message is clear: no time like the present, and your health is your greatest wealth.   Episode Highlights [00:00] – Introducing Jen's story: stroke recovery, heavy metals, and rebuilding health [02:20] – Processing grief, mental health, and the importance of real conversations [07:52] – Early warning signs: fatigue, brain fog, weight gain in her 20s [11:20] – Discovering heavy metal toxicity through holistic testing [14:20] – The role of infrared sauna in detox and healing [18:30] – Detoxing the body, and realizing what else in life needed to change [19:38] – The stroke: paralysis, nervous system overload, and a perfect storm [21:06] – Why conventional medicine couldn't fully diagnose her condition [22:20] – Turning to Chinese medicine and acupuncture for real progress [24:04] – Living with paralysis, and slowly rebuilding function [25:50] – The recovery stack: oxygen therapy, PEMF, red light, stem cells [26:39] – Infrared vs traditional sauna: what actually makes them different [29:04] – Why infrared sauna became a daily ritual and emotional reset [34:22] – How to choose a safe sauna: EMFs, materials, and red flags [39:55] – What to look for in construction, wood, and long-term durability [46:34] – Why sauna is a lifetime investment, not a luxury [50:19] – Building a wellness home: light, temperature, oxygen, and lymph [55:00] – Why there is no universal protocol, only personalization [57:00] – Final takeaway: if it matters, bring it into your home and your life   Links & Resources Jen Heller's website: https://jenhellerlifestyle.com/ The Biological Blueprint Program: https://www.beautifullybroken.world/ Try CatchBio: https://www.catchbio.com/beautifullybroken — Code: BEAUTIFULLYBROKEN LightPathLED: https://lightpathled.pxf.io/c/3438432/2059835/25794 — Code: beautifullybroken Get Silver Biotics: bit.ly/3JnxyDD — 30% off with Code: BEAUTIFULLYBROKEN CONNECT WITH FREDDIEWork with Me: https://www.beautifullybroken.world/biological-blueprintWebsite and Store: (http://www.beautifullybroken.world) Instagram: (https://www.instagram.com/freddie.kimmelYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@beautifullybrokenworld Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Ep 93 | What happens when teen mental health reaches a breaking point—and what does real healing look like on the other side?In this first episode of Morgan's Corner, Jen sits down with her niece, Morgan, for an honest and emotional conversation about suicidal thoughts, severe mental health struggles, and the long road back to hope.Morgan shares her story—from standing on a bridge over the Wisconsin River one winter night believing there was no way forward, to a year of healing inside what the family now calls Heller Haven. Together, they talk about how environment, supportive relationships, and feeling truly safe and loved can make the difference between staying stuck in darkness and finding your way back to life.This conversation explores teen mental health, the power of asking for help, and the role a safe, supportive home can play in healing. It's raw, heartfelt, and deeply hopeful.This episode is for anyone struggling with mental health, for parents and families navigating a loved one's crisis, and for anyone who needs the reminder that even after rock bottom, healing is possible.

Ep 92 | Cuts, burns, bug bites, rashes—most of us have a different product for every problem in our medicine cabinet. But what if natural first aid worked better with fewer, more versatile solutions?In this episode of Homes That Heal, Jen sits down with Jodi Scott, co-founder of Green Goo, to talk about natural first aid, plant-based remedies, and why simplifying your first aid kit can support the body's natural healing process.Jodi shares how a moment during pregnancy—reading the ingredient label on a common first aid product—sparked a deeper search for herbal remedies and plant-based alternatives for everyday skin care. What began as herbs growing on a family farm eventually became Green Goo, a company focused on simple, multi-use products designed to support cuts, burns, bug bites, and other everyday skin concerns.If you've ever opened your medicine cabinet and felt overwhelmed by expired tubes, complicated ingredients, or products that only solve one small problem, this conversation offers a refreshing perspective on simplifying your first aid kit and working with your body's natural defenses.

This is a conversation about root canals, cavitations, mercury fillings, and why chronic inflammation or unexplained symptoms sometimes trace back to the oral environment.Dr. Blodgett shares his evolution from conventional dentistry to modern biological dentistry, and how his approach to holistic dentistry integrates psychology, advanced technology, and deep respect for biology. If you've ever wondered whether past dental procedures could be impacting your nervous system, immune response, or overall wellbeing, this episode offers clarity — without fear-based messaging or extremes.

Many people think of infrared saunas as a luxury wellness add-on. In reality, specific wavelengths of light can influence inflammation, circulation, detox pathways, and how the nervous system recovers from daily stress.I'm joined by Connie Zack, Co-Owner of Sunlighten, to break down how infrared actually works inside the body. We also talk about what makes infrared different from traditional saunas, why consistent heat exposure may support cortisol balance and sleep, and how to build a simple infrared routine at home.Connie Zack is the co-owner of Sunlighten and Sunlighten Day Spa.

Ep 89 | If you've ever felt like your body is talking to you, but you're not sure how to listen, this conversation offers a powerful reframe.In this episode of Homes That Heal, Jen sits down with Dr. Wendy Henrichs for a deep, grounded conversation about chiropractic care, the nervous system, and how the body responds to physical, emotional, and environmental stress. This isn't about chasing symptoms or quick fixes—it's about understanding how the spine, nervous system, mindset, and lifestyle all work together to support healing.Dr. Wendy shares why chiropractors aren't just “back doctors,” how stress and stored emotion can show up as physical pain, and why creating safety for the nervous system is foundational for healing. Together, they explore the intersection of science and what some call “the woo”—from energy, breath, and visualization to nutrition, movement, and daily rhythms that help the body adapt and restore balance.

Ep 87 | If you've been feeling anxious, burned out, or disconnected from your body, this episode is a gentle reminder that healing doesn't have to be complicated. Often, real healing begins by returning to the basics—supporting the nervous system with nourishment, nature, and simple daily rhythms.Jen sits down with Colleen Rathbun, board-certified wellness coach and registered nurse, to explore nervous system regulation, holistic mental health, and how food and environment impact anxiety, stress, and emotional well-being.

Ep 85 | If you're researching infrared saunas and keep running into mixed messages about non-toxic building materials, heater placement, heated benches and floors, or lifetime warranties, this Ask Jen episode is for you.

Ep 84 | Quality sleep is the foundation wellness is built on. Without it, everything else—nutrition, exercise, supplements, mental health, and longevity—has to work a whole lot harder.In this episode of Homes That Heal, Jen sits down with Jack Dell'Accio, certified Sleep Coach and CEO & Founder of Essentia, to talk about why better sleep starts with sleep quality, not sleep quantity. This is a grounded, science-backed conversation about restorative sleep, nervous system regulation, and why so many people are exhausted despite doing all the “right” wellness things.Jack explains how REM sleep and deep sleep drive recovery, emotional regulation, immune health, and long-term resilience—and why your sleep environment, mattress materials, and exposure to toxins and allergens play a far bigger role in sleep health than most people realize.

In this Ask Jen episode, we're diving into healthy habits, infrared saunas, and weight loss goals in a way that's grounded, doable, and actually sustainable. No extremes. No guilt. Just real-life wellness that works.This episode is part science, part lived experience, and part end-of-year heart-to-heart. Jen answers your most common questions about infrared sauna benefits, detox support, muscle recovery, and how to build a “wellness wheel” that supports your body instead of stressing it out. If weight loss, inflammation, or feeling stuck in your body has been on your mind, this one's for you.

Athletes using infrared saunas post-workout experience faster reductions in soreness, improved strength recovery, and better neuromuscular performance within 24 hours compared to passive rest Using infrared saunas immediately after exercise yields stronger results than delayed sessions, as it extends the body's natural repair window when circulation and metabolic signaling are elevated Consistent post-workout infrared sauna sessions over several weeks increase muscle thickness, explosive strength, and power output more effectively than training alone, especially for intermediate lifters Far-infrared saunas provide safer, more practical detoxification and circulation benefits, while near-infrared units risk burns and don't effectively deliver photobiomodulation benefits despite higher costs When using a sauna, begin at 120 degrees Fahrenheit three times weekly, gradually increasing temperature by two degrees weekly. Avoid overuse — start with daily sessions for 10 to 11 days initially, then every two to three days for maintenance

Stop treating aging as the aggressive pursuit of comfort and start mastering the biological truths behind the 30-30-30 method, nutrient density, and the metabolic importance of resistance training. In this Q&A session I break down how to eliminate processed foods, optimize your supplementation through blood testing, and leverage natural stressors like breathwork and grounding to reclaim your vitality.
