Kwame Terra is on a mission to make movement a cultural norm and health an accessible part of everyday life. Through his community-based bEHR Health platform, the New Orleans athlete is reimagining wellness through walking, technology, and social connection. His mission: to make healthy choices desirable, accessible, and part of daily life, particularly within Black communities that have long faced systemic health gaps.Terra promotes walking as a low-cost, high-impact path to improved longevity and reduced health disparities. He's developed tools such as personal health scores and participation challenges that turn physical activity into an engaging, collective experience. Earlier this year, he walked more than two million steps in 30 days - a record-breaking endurance feat that underscored his message that modest, consistent movement can transform health outcomes. Now, with the launch of the bEHR Health app, he aims to deliver real-time health feedback and community-driven challenges directly to users' hands - turning wellness into a shared, sustainable habit.In this conversation with Peter Bowes, Terra discusses the role of culture, environment, and feedback in shaping lasting habits - and why small steps, taken together, can help close health gaps and extend healthspan.Related:  Check out our 20-part series, Move for Life-----This podcast is supported by affiliate arrangements with a select number of companies.

In this episode, we explore what happens when clinicians look beyond the prescription pad and begin listening more deeply to what their patients have lost. This isn't a conversation about rejecting medications but about expanding the tools we use to foster healing. We discuss the concept of disenfranchised grief—the often-unspoken losses that accompany chronic illness—the intricate links between depression and inflammation, and the transformative power of helping patients heal in ways that no pill alone can achieve.

“I've done everything right… so why do I still hurt?” If that question feels familiar, this episode is for you. We're joined by Dr. Sassy Weinstein, an osteopathic physician, sports medicine expert, and board-certified lifestyle medicine doc who has helped thousands of patients finally heal — not by doing more, but by seeing the body as a whole system.

It's about reclaiming your body's wisdom and getting back to what matters — with joy, clarity, and sustainable relief. ⸻ ✨ Dr. Sassy Weinstein's Work:

When cancer treatment ends, the world expects celebration. The bell is rung, and everyone around breathes a sigh of relief. But for many survivors, that moment marks not an ending, but a new, confusing beginning. The medical team steps back, the appointments stop, and a quiet question creeps in: now what? Survivorship is more than the absence of disease. It's the long, often lonely process of learning how to live again, in a body, mind, and identity forever changed. Fatigue lingers. Treatment dulls memory and focus. Sleep becomes elusive. And beneath it all is the fear: what if it comes back? But what if recovery after cancer isn't just about waiting for the next scan; it's about reclaiming control? Through lifestyle medicine, survivors can begin to rebuild their strength, calm their nervous system, and lower their risk of recurrence. What measures are important for the survivor phase of cancer care? Why is connection and community so important? In this episode, the Medical Director of the Mass General Cancer Center in Waltham, Dr. Amy Comander, returns. The pioneer in lifestyle medicine for survivorship joins us to share what true recovery looks like. She shares insights from her groundbreaking Paving the Path to Wellness program, and we talk about how to have a healthy life after the end of cancer treatment. Things You'll Learn In This Episode -Survivorship isn't just surviving Finishing treatment is only the beginning of recovery. How do survivors move from merely existing to truly thriving? -Movement as medicine Exercise doesn't just build strength; it improves outcomes and lowers recurrence risk. What type of movement makes the biggest impact after cancer? -Food over fear The right diet can reduce inflammation, support immunity, and ease anxiety about recurrence. What does the research actually say about the best foods for survivors, and which supplements to avoid? -The overlooked healing power of connection Support groups and social bonds can dramatically improve the quality of life and survival. Why is community one of the most potent yet underused forms of medicine? Guest Bio Dr. Amy Comander specializes in the care of women with breast cancer.

Diet has become one of the most polarizing topics in modern health. Whether it's carnivore, keto, or veganism, conversations around food can quickly become divisive. But beyond the noise and online debates — how do you actually determine the best way to eat for your health, longevity, and heart? In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Joel Kahn, an integrative cardiologist often referred to as “America's Healthy Heart Doc.” After decades practicing conventional cardiology, Dr. Kahn shifted his focus toward preventative medicine — emphasizing nutrition, early testing, and lifestyle strategies to help patients avoid heart disease altogether. Dr. Kahn shares his evidence-based approach to heart disease prevention, including how he helps patients identify and treat risk factors ten years before a potential heart attack. We dive into the science behind different diets, what research actually shows about plant-based nutrition, and why personalization — not dogma — is key when it comes to both food and medication. We also explore the connection between hormones and cardiovascular health, the role of post-menopausal hormone therapy in prevention, and what tests you should consider before ever starting statins. If you care about protecting your heart—and cutting through the confusion around diet and prevention—this is an episode you don't want to miss. Episode Highlights: Dr. Kahn's transition from traditional cardiology to preventive and integrative care His lifelong passion for nutrition and functional wellness The simple rule everyone should follow for a heart-healthy diet Research-backed benefits of plant-forward eating Why statin therapy should be personalized, not automatic The most important tests to request before taking statins How hormone therapy after menopause impacts heart health The vital link between hormonal balance and cardiovascular function Dr. Kahn's top testing recommendations for early heart disease detection Connect with Dr. Joel Kahn Dr. Joel Kahn's Website | DrJoelKahn.com Dr. Joel Kahn's Clinic | Kahn Longevity Center ​​Dr. Joel Kahn on Instagram | @DrJKahn Dr. Joel Kahn's Podcast | Heart Doc VIP with Dr. Joel Kahn Dr. Joel Kahn's Books | View Dr. Joel Kahn's Library Dr. Joel Kahn on The Joe Rogan Experience | Listen To The Full Episode Dr. Kahn's Joe Rogan Experience Podcast Reference Guide | View The Reference Guide Episode Resources: Dr. Shawn Tassone's Practice | Tassone Advanced Gynecology Dr. Shawn Tassone's Book | The Hormone Balance Bible Dr. Shawn Tassone's Integrative Hormonal Mapping System | Hormonal Archetype Quiz Medical Disclaimer This podcast and website represent the opinions of Dr. Shawn Tassone and his guests.

The words “diet and exercise” often feel like a trap door into diet culture and the diet mentality. Given that the theme for this year's World Menopause Day is lifestyle medicine, I wanted to explore lifestyle medicine through a behavior-first lens and share compassionate, doable choices that actually fit your life. Starting with real stories—a cholesterol scare that triggered a Google spiral and a breast cancer survivor who felt she “failed” exercise—we'll explore why language carries weight and how reframing goals can lift the pressure without losing the science. I reframe lifestyle medicine as behavior change medicine and share practical ways to support menopause with flexible food patterns, mindful eating for satisfaction, and low-capacity day forecasting. We'll cover:• Why words matter• Behavior change  vs chasing an outcome• Redefining healthy eating • A plant-forward and fiber focused approach• Persistence vs consistency as a food strategy• Mindful eating to boost satisfaction and awareness• Forecasting meals to reduce decision fatigue• Capsule menus and targeting tough meal times• Personalization over perfection in menopause care• Community resources and ongoing supportHead to menopause nutritionist.ca to learn more about my one-to-one and group coaching programs, free resources, and where to get your copy of Eat to Thrive during menopause.Please share this episode with a friend who needs to hear this and a review wherever you listen to podcasts is always appreciated!What did you think of this episode?

Today we are talking to Mason Branstrator in the second of a two-part series on supporting general wellness while living with a Spinal Cord Injury. Quinn Brett, U2FP's Development and fellow wellness pursuer is joining me for the discussion. Mason Branstrator is a dynamic and influential personality in the world of Spinal Cord Injury and his mission is to improve life for our community in any way that he can. Mason's social media presence is one platform that he uses to accomplish this goal. His reels grace my Instagram feed from time to time and I am consistently impressed with his content, especially as it pertains to health and wellness. In light of the wear and tear that full time advocacy can have on our population, it is important to remember to take care of ourselves so that we can keep showing up to the front lines and maintain our general quality of life. In these two episodes we discuss low-cost or free, accessible tools for self care that have been staples for myself, Quinn and Mason. We frame this discussion using the 6 Pillars of Lifestyle Medicine, which are: Nutrition, Exercise, Sleep, Stress Management, Substance Management and Relationships or Purpose. In this episode we cover the last three pillars.
