Podcasts about living your best life

In Part 3 of my Living Your Best Life series, I'm breaking down an area that too many orthodontists avoid talking about: sales. Selling isn't about pressuring patients into treatment. It's about understanding why they came to you, uncovering what they actually want, and building a process that helps them confidently take the next step.Most importantly, none of this happens by accident. Your team shouldn't be practicing their sales skills in front of real patients. You have to train, role-play, evaluate your process, and continuously improve. Master mindset, teamwork, and sales, and you can build a practice that produces more while demanding less from you.

Send us Fan MailWhat if the emotional states we practice most often become patterns that influence the way we experience our lives—and our nervous system?In this episode of Good Is What Makes You Feel Well, Anna Resende speaks with Dr. Colette D. Sinclair about emotional regulation, nervous system health, emotional patterns, and the mind-body connection.Dr. Sinclair has spent twenty years working at the intersection of neuroscience, psychology, and contemplative science. She is the creator of Emotional Posture®, founder of Integrated Mental Wellness, and author of Emotional Postures.Together, we explore a different way of thinking about emotions—not simply as reactions that need to be controlled or managed, but as experiences that may shape our internal patterns and influence how we relate to ourselves and the world around us.Dr. Sinclair shares her framework of six emotional postures:✨ Gratitude ✨ Acceptance ✨ Ease ✨ Forgiveness ✨ Compassion ✨ LoveWe discuss emotional regulation, nervous system balance, intentional emotional practice, coherence, consciousness, and the relationship between neuroscience and integrative wellness.This conversation invites us to consider a powerful question:What emotional state are you practicing most often—and what might happen if you intentionally practiced something different?Listen in and discover another perspective on emotional wellbeing, nervous system regulation, and what it means to truly feel well.CONNECT WITH DR SINCLAIR: https://www.colettesinclair.com/If you enjoyed this episode, please FOLLOW, RATE, REVIEW & SHARE!! Rates and reviews help the message get to more people!

Part 2 of my Living Your Best Life series, I'm talking about one of the most important pieces of creating a practice — and a life — you actually enjoy: building the right team. You cannot do this alone, and in today's workforce, the way we hire, retain, motivate, and communicate with people has to evolve.I break down the EOS concept of getting the right person in the right seat, including why I hire around core values before experience and how I evaluate whether someone truly gets the job, wants the job, and has the capacity to do it. I also walk through a practical process for identifying your practice's core values and using them to make hiring and firing decisions with far more clarity.But hiring is only half the equation. Once great people are on your team, you have to understand how each individual wants to be appreciated. I explain why one-size-fits-all rewards don't work, why knowing your team's love languages can completely change communication and retention, and why consistent recognition in the way they value it can mean more than an expensive holiday party.

Why you should never waste your pain. Discover how adversity can teach you gratitude, sharpen your focus, deepen your purpose, and ultimately become your advantage.

Send us Fan MailWhat if there was a different definition of success? One related with being, more than doing?In this episode you'll learn why titles and financial success alone don't necessarily create a fulfilling life and why focusing on being a better person is the main drive for thriving.  My guest, Rand Selig, is an accomplished entrepreneur, lifelong investment banker, author, and public speaker who has spent more than four decades navigating the world of global finance.

My guest this week had a childhood nickname: Muscles. She wasn't the smallest kid on the block, but she could always outrun the boys and knock a softball clean out of the park. Somewhere along the way, that name got buried — and stayed that way for decades. Mary Ellen Loranger is a 56-year-old entrepreneur, author, and wellness leader who's spent the past eight years, alongside her husband Wayne, coaching thousands of women through nutrition, health, and lifestyle transformation. A former Ironman athlete, she's spent the last few years building Midlife Strong®, a strength training and mindset platform for women navigating midlife and menopause. I work with a lot of health coaches one-on-one, and right now they're going through a massive shift inside their industry because of GLP-1 medications — the wave of drugs like Ozempic and Wegovy. I think it's an incredible opportunity for entrepreneurs, you included, to understand how to pivot when the market changes on you. That's exactly what's happening with Mary Ellen — she's had no choice but to pivot her own business right along with it. In this episode, we get into what that shift means for muscle, for metabolic health, and for anyone whose industry is changing under them. This one isn't just for people who care about fitness. It's for any woman in midlife who's been told to shrink back, slow down, or settle, and for any entrepreneur trying to figure out what to do when the ground shifts under their business.   WHAT YOU'LL LEARN Why Mary Ellen's childhood nickname, "Muscles," disappeared for decades, and what finally brought it back to the surface What the GLP-1 boom is doing to muscle mass, and why protein and strength training matter more now than they used to The misconception about building muscle after 40 or 50 that the research says just isn't true What a "progressive overload" strength training program actually looks like, and how to start with nothing but a couple of dumbbells The simple three-part protocol Mary Ellen gives every client, whether they're on a GLP-1 or not Why she and her husband just invested in a gym instead of keeping all their eggs in one basket   SPECIAL GIFT FROM MARY ELLEN As her gift to Girlfriends, Mary Ellen is offering half of a four-week, customized progressive overload strength training plan through her Midlife Strong® app, for home or gym, at any level, for $25. She's also offering $50 off any nutrition plan — fat loss, calorie deficit, optimization, or GLP-1 nutrition plans.

Alongside her husband, Wayne, she has spent the past eight years coaching thousands of people in nutrition, health, and lifestyle transformation while building a nationwide team of health coaches. A former endurance athlete who completed multiple Ironman competitions, she now focuses on strength training and empowering women to build muscle, confidence, and resilience. She founded Midlife Strong®, a platform that supports women navigating midlife and menopause through nutrition, strength training, and mindset coaching. Mary Ellen is also the bestselling author of Win Today: A Jersey Girl's Guide to Living Your Best Life and Called to More: Stepping Boldly into God's Purpose in Midlife – A 30-Day Devotional. Through her work, she encourages women to see midlife not as a slowdown, but as an opportunity to step into strength, purpose, and possibility.   READY TO STOP SHRINKING BACK IN YOUR BUSINESS?  This episode might have you thinking about where you've been shrinking back in your own business instead of stepping into strength. If so, let's talk about it. As my gift to Girlfriends, I offer a 30-minute discovery call. We'll talk about where you are right now and what might be getting in the way.

Send us Fan MailThis episode is a beautiful reminder that wellness doesn't have to be complicated.

What if the thing we spend our lives avoiding—death—could actually become one of the most powerful tools for creating a more meaningful life? In this episode of The Story Engine Podcast, I sit down with behavioral change expert and bestselling author Karen Salmansohn to explore why so many ambitious, high-achieving people resist self-help, stay trapped in "beast mode," and keep telling themselves they'll finally live the life they want someday. Karen shares her philosophy of moving from the "den of pleasure" into the "laboratory of growth," embracing emotional diversity, and focusing less on success, money, and productivity and more on becoming the person you actually want to be. We also go deep into Karen's personal story. After her father's death forced her to confront how much of her own life she had been postponing, she wrote his eulogy—and then wrote one for herself. That exercise became a blueprint for the life she wanted to live. We explore how mortality awareness can create urgency, how identity-based habits can change behavior, why your core values can become the "puppet master" of your habits, and how a single message her father left behind—"Everything that is not given is lost"—continues to shape the work she does today. This is a conversation about death, but ultimately, it's about learning how to live with more courage, intention, meaning, and purpose.

What actually happens to a patient a year into real, supervised peptide therapy? In the final episode of our peptides series, Dr. Melissa Jones and host Jamie Preston close the loop on the story that opened this whole series — and get honest about what changed, what didn't, and what every provider and patient still needs to know. This episode goes beyond the science into the human side of the story: what it actually feels like when chronic pain resolves, when weight loss becomes life-changing rather than cosmetic, and when a skeptical clinician becomes one of the most passionate advocates in the building. Jamie also shares his own journey — turning 50, managing diabetes, and reaching his goal weight — as a real example of what supervised, responsible care can look like over time. In this episode, you'll hear: An update on the chronic pain patient from Episode 1 — where he is now, and what's kept his results sustainable What the actual clinical data shows about supervised BPC-157 therapy, and where its limits are Why GLP-1 success is about far more than the number on the scale — confidence, mobility, and mental health The advice Dr. Jones gives new providers who feel nervous bringing up peptides with patients The single biggest myth about peptides she wants to put to rest for good The three things every patient should understand before they ever start a peptide This is the episode that ties the whole series together — not as a sales pitch for peptides, but as a case for doing this the right way, with the right people, for the right reasons. It's the last episode in this run, but it won't be the last time we talk about this. www.YourHealth.Org

Send us Fan MailWhat happens when, despite doing everything you believe you're supposed to do, you realize that what your child needs most is something you were never taught how to offer?In this conversation, we talk about a journey of learning emotional regulation, why this skill is so important for both students and parents, and why supporting a child's emotional well-being may sometimes require us to look at—and regulate—ourselves first.My guest, Madhuri Garigipati, is a certified life coach founder of Path2Courage. She brings in more than two decades of experience in the IT industry and two master's degrees however, it was her own parenting journey that led her to discover the importance of emotional regulation and true connection. At Path2Courage, she uses her structured thinking, cultural sensitivity, and practical approach to help parents of high-achieving teens navigate stress, emotional overwhelm, motivation challenges, and disconnection while building calmer, stronger relationships at home.If you're a parent, educator, or simply someone who wants to better understand the connection between emotions, relationships, and learning, I think you'll find a lot to reflect on in this episode.CONNECT WITH MADHURI: http://www.path2courage.comIf you enjoyed this episode, please FOLLOW, RATE, REVIEW & SHARE!! Rates and reviews help the message get to more people!

Send us Fan MailWe all carry invisible wounds.Some were shaped by childhood experiences, some by relationships, and others by the expectations we've placed on ourselves. Left unexamined, these wounds can quietly influence the way we think, love, communicate, and move through life.But what if those wounds aren't meant to define us? What if they can become our greatest teachers?In this conversation, we explore the concept of our core wounds, how they influence our relationships and sense of self, and why self-forgiveness may be one of the most powerful steps toward lasting healing. My guest, Lisa Tahir, is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, certified EMDR therapist, Reiki practitioner, thought coach, the All Things Therapy Podcast host, and the author of The Chiron Effect: Healing Our Core Wounds through Astrology, Empathy, and Self-Forgiveness, a book endorsed by His Holiness the Dalai Lama.Whether you're on your own healing journey or simply curious about the intersection of psychology, spirituality, astrology, and personal transformation, I think you'll find this conversation both thought-provoking and inspiring.CONNECT WITH LISA: https://www.nolatherapy.comBook: The Chiron EffectDownload my FREE eBook: A Weekend of Feeling GreatIf you enjoyed this episode, please FOLLOW, RATE, REVIEW & SHARE!! Rates and reviews help the message get to more people!

Send us Fan MailGrief is one of the few experiences that every human being will encounter.Yet, despite how universal it is, many of us feel completely unprepared when loss enters our lives. We don't always know how to process it, how to support others through it, or how to find our way back to joy without feeling guilty.In this conversation, we talk about the baby blues and all other many shapes of grief—not only the loss of a loved one, but also the grief that accompanies major life transitions, changes in identity, illness, and the expectations we once held for our lives.My guest, Grace Tallman, has dedicated her life to changing that scene. She is a registered nurse, certified grief counselor, mental health advocate, and author whose work beautifully bridges clinical expertise with profound personal experience. After navigating her own journey through postpartum depression, she courageously shared her story in her memoir, The Birds Still Sing: My Journey of Resilience Through Postpartum Depression, helping break the silence surrounding maternal mental health.Her latest book, Stronger: Stories of Grief and Resilience, brings together the voices of 24 individuals who have experienced many different forms of loss, reminding us that while grief is deeply personal, none of us has to walk through it alone.This conversation is a gentle reminder that grief and joy are not opposites. They can coexist. And often, it is through our deepest pain that we discover our greatest capacity for compassion, connection, and purpose.Let's dive in, shall we?CONNECT TO GRACE: Find the Books @ www.gracetallman.comWebsite: https://www.astrongeryou.ca/Download my FREE eBook: A Weekend of Feeling GreatIf you enjoyed this episode, please FOLLOW, RATE, REVIEW & SHARE!! Rates and reviews help the message get to more people!

Send us Fan MailThere are moments in life when we realize that the harder we push, the more stuck we seem to be.What if the answer isn't more effort, but a different understanding of how life itself works?In this conversation, we explore what it really means to get out of our own way, the difference between effort and flow, why so many people feel stuck despite doing everything "right," and how understanding the deeper principles that govern life can transform the way we approach health, business, relationships, and purpose.My guest Jennifer Hough is a #1 international bestselling author of UNSTUCK: The Physics of Getting Out of Your Own Way, a TEDx speaker, CEO of The Wide Awakening, and an International award-winning trainer.Jennifer has spent decades helping doctors, educators, CEOs, and organizations understand what she calls the physics of flow — the principles that govern not only our health and well-being, but also our abundance, leadership, and fulfillment.If you've ever felt stuck in life, this conversation is for you.I absolutely loved it and I hope you will too!CONNECT WITH JENNIFER: Website: http://www.thewideawakening.com/Email: support@thewideawakening.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/thewideawakening/Book: UnstuckDownload my FREE eBook: A Weekend of Feeling GreatIf you enjoyed this episode, please FOLLOW, RATE, REVIEW & SHARE!! Rates and reviews help the message get to more people!

Send us Fan MailHealthy relationships don't happen by accident.They are built on trust, respect, honest communication, and the freedom for both people to be fully themselves.Unfortunately, not every relationship is built on those foundations. Sometimes, unhealthy dynamics develop so gradually that we don't recognize the warning signs until we're deeply entangled. And when children are involved, the stakes become even higher.In this conversation, we explore why communication is the foundation of every healthy relationship, the red flags that can signal emotional abuse or coercive control, and the green flags that create safety, trust, and mutual respect. We also talk about the importance of modeling healthy relationships for our children.My guest, Lisa Johnson, is a high-conflict divorce strategist, certified domestic violence advocate, and educator. Her own journey through a lengthy and emotionally exhausting divorce transformed her into a passionate advocate for others navigating similar circumstances as the co-founder of the platform Been There Got Out.But what struck me most about our conversation is Lisa's deep understanding of relationships.Whether you're in a relationship, supporting someone who is, or simply want to become a better communicator or a better partner, I believe you'll find wisdom, hope, and practical insights in this episode.Please enjoy my conversation with Lisa Johnson.CONNECT WITH LISA: Website: https://beentheregotout.com/Instagram: @been_there_got_out/YouTube: @BeenThereGotOutDownload my FREE eBook: A Weekend of Feeling GreatIf you enjoyed this episode, please FOLLOW, RATE, REVIEW & SHARE!! Rates and reviews help the message get to more people!

Send us Fan MailHave you ever noticed that understanding something intellectually doesn't always create change?We can read the books, listen to the podcasts, and know exactly what we "should" do, yet still find ourselves repeating the same patterns, reacting in the same ways, and feeling stuck in the same beliefs.What if the missing piece isn't in the mind at all?In our conversation, we explore what somatic healing actually is, the difference between who we are and the thoughts that pass through our minds, how limiting beliefs become embedded in our nervous systems, and practical ways to begin creating lasting change. We also discuss several somatic modalities and why healing often requires more than simply changing our mindset.My guest, Amanda Sproles, is a trauma-sensitive Somatic Coach who helps people reconnect with the wisdom of their bodies so they can release limiting patterns, heal from the past, and create lives rooted in greater presence, purpose, and self-trust. If you've ever felt trapped by old stories, recurring emotional patterns, or the belief that you're somehow not enough, this episode is for you.CONNECT WITH AMANDA: Book a Consultation: Select a Date & Time - Calendlyemail: harmonywithin4u@gmail.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/healthehearttothriveDownload my FREE eBook: A Weekend of Feeling GreatIf you enjoyed this episode, please FOLLOW, RATE, REVIEW & SHARE!! Rates and reviews help the message get to more people!

Epilepsy quickly disrupted everything she thought she knew about her body, her future, and the healthcare system she depended on for answers.What followed was not only a search for healing but also a deep investigation into the strengths and shortcomings of modern medicine in the United States. Determined to share what she learned, Holly transformed her experience into a powerful memoir, SEIZED: Searching for Health in the United States.

Send us Fan MailHave you ever noticed how easily we believe every thought that crosses our minds?A self-critical thought emerges, and we mistake it for our identity. But what if your power lies in realizing that you are not your thoughts?In this conversation, we explore what it means to detach from the stories our minds create, why resisting thoughts often gives them more power, and how acceptance can become a pathway out of the darkness. Today's guest is Ana Maria Jinga, a business and lifestyle identity coach and the founder of Becoming Abundant, a faith-rooted personal growth movement dedicated to helping women reclaim freedom in their minds and hearts.

Send us Fan MailTrue healing happens when we open ourselves to the beauty around us—the beauty in the silence, in the trees, in the animals, in poetry, and through the beauty of learning to be present with ourselves again.In this conversation, you'll learn tools for addiction recovery and for a creativity boost. You'll also hear how profoundly natural beauty can be to restore the human spirit.My guest, Aaron Poochigian, is a poet, classics scholar, translator, and author whose life and work beautifully bridge literature, philosophy, and the healing power of nature.Aaron has translated some of the world's most timeless voices, including Sappho and Marcus Aurelius, and his writing has appeared in publications such as *The Financial Times*, *The New York Review of Books*, and *Poetry Magazine*.But beyond his academic and literary accomplishments, Aaron's personal journey is one of transformation.A former cocaine addict, Aaron found himself, like many during the pandemic, craving peace, inspiration, and reconnection after a season of isolation. And unexpectedly, he found it in Central Park.What began as a simple contemplation of this iconic urban sanctuary became a way to reconnect with life itself. This experience inspired his beautiful new book, *Four Walks in Central Park*, a unique guidebook written entirely in verse.This episode is a reminder that creativity is sparked by activating our senses during idle time.CONNECT TO AARON: His new book: Four Walks in Central Park: A Poetic Guide to the Park. Stung with Love: Sappho's Poems and FragmentsWebsite: aaronpoochigian.com.Download my FREE eBook: A Weekend of Feeling GreatSchedule a FREE Discovery call Sign up for my free weekly newsletter: HEREBuy my book Living Your Best Life in CollegeTake the 2-minute Wellness QuizIf you enjoyed this episode, please FOLLOW, RATE, REVIEW & SHARE!! Rates and reviews help the message get to more people!

Send us Fan MailThere comes a moment in many people's healing journey when they realize that wellness is not only about fixing symptoms… but about remembering who we truly are beneath the noise, the conditioning, and the disconnection from ourselves and from nature.In this conversation, we explore what it means to “rewild” ourselves from the inside out, how disconnection from nature mirrors disconnection from self, and why healing may be less about becoming someone new… and more about returning home to who we've always been.Today's guest, Holly Copeland, has devoted her life to guiding people back to that remembrance.She is the creator of the Inner Rewilding process — a beautiful integration of science, spirituality, somatic healing, and deep connection with the natural world. A former ecologist turned healing practitioner, she now helps spiritual seekers, visionaries, and earth-conscious leaders reconnect with what she calls the “wild intelligence” within.Rooted in modern non-dual awareness and the wisdom of the body, Holly's work weaves together frequency, ceremony, meditation, breathwork, subtle energy healing, and presence to create profound spaces for healing and transformation.Holly also shares insights from her newly released book, Inner Rewilding: A Scientist's Journey into Being.This episode is an invitation to slow down, listen deeply, and remember the wisdom already living within you.CONNECT WITH HOLLY: Website: https://www.hollycopeland.coInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/rewildingholly/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/hollyerincopeland/Book: Inner Rewilding: A Scientist's Journey into Being.Download my FREE eBook: A Weekend of Feeling GreatSchedule a FREE Discovery call Sign up for my free weekly newsletter: HEREBuy my book Living Your Best Life in CollegeTake the 2-minute Wellness QuizIf you enjoyed this episode, please FOLLOW, RATE, REVIEW & SHARE!! Rates and reviews help the message get to more people!

In this episode of Noob School, I sit down with Jay Jackson—a former Major League pitcher who spent nearly two decades grinding it out across the MLB, minor leagues, and international baseball circuits. Jay's story isn't just about baseball—it's about resilience. From getting drafted later than expected to navigating the ups and downs of a global career that took him from the U.S. to Japan, Mexico, and beyond, he learned how to stay grounded, positive, and focused when most people would've quit. Over a 17+ year professional career, he played for multiple MLB organizations and built a reputation not just for performance—but for mindset. We talk about what it really takes to last that long in a high-pressure environment—and why success has less to do with talent and more to do with discipline, intentionality, and the people you surround yourself with. Jay also shares the philosophy behind his book, 9 Innings to Living Your Best Life—a framework for living with purpose, maintaining a positive mindset, and leading both on and off the field. The book breaks life into “innings,” each focused on habits like gratitude, accountability, and mental toughness. We get into: Why adversity is your biggest advantage (if you let it be) The power of starting your day with intention How elite performers stay mentally locked in Why “being where your feet are” might be the most important skill you can build The role of mentorship in long-term success Jay is now transitioning into his next chapter—focusing on coaching, mentorship, and helping the next generation develop both as athletes and as people. If you're trying to build something, lead a team, or just get better every day, this conversation will hit home.

Send us Fan MailWhat happens when a highly trained surgeon who spent decades inside conventional medicine… decides to follow a deeper calling into ancient healing wisdom?This conversation will shake your knowledge about food. It will give you the cue to explore health from a deeper perspective. You will learn about the mind-body connection and why, when humans gather with intention and goodwill, we can positively influence the collective consciousness.My guest, Dr. Bill Dean, is a former allopathic urologic surgeon who retired from western medicine to devote his life fully to Ayurveda, the ancient traditional system of medicine rooted in energy balance, which, translating from Sanskrit, means the science of life. Dr. Dean's journey into Ayurveda began in the 1990s through his studies with the Chopra organization, eventually leading him to integrate Ayurvedic principles into his medical practice and, later, to earn a certification as an Ayurvedic doctor.I had the pleasure of meeting Dr. Dean in person at the Printers Row Lit Fest in Chicago last year, where he was promoting his newest book, Foods Heal. He carries a bright, joyful presence that instantly put me at ease.This conversation invites us to remember that we do have agency over our health and that healing is not only personal—it ripples to the collective.CONNECT WITH DR.

Send us Fan MailIn this conversation, we explore religion, trauma, and how we can heal—not by fixing ourselves, but by learning to be with what is.Born into an Orthodox Jewish family in Montreal, Rachel Krentzman's early life was shaped by both devotion and deep disruption. The trauma of her rabbi father's arrest led her to question her beliefs, to shed old layers, and ultimately to rediscover herself through the body.Living with scoliosis and spinal injuries herself, Rachel developed a powerful, integrative approach that blends HAKOMI, a somatic psychotherapy, physical therapy, and yoga, supporting hundreds of people around the world in reconnecting with their bodies and rewriting their stories.She is also the author of several books, including Scoliosis, Yoga Therapy and the Art of Letting Go, and in her latest memoir, As Is, she shares her personal path of healing the past through yoga.New Book: As Is: A Memoir on Healing the Past Through Yoga. CONNECT WITH RACHEL:WEBSITE: happybackyoga.com.Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/rachelkrentzman/Download my FREE eBook: A Weekend of Feeling WellSchedule a FREE Discovery call with AnnaSign up for my free weekly newsletter: HEREBuy my book Living Your Best Life in CollegeTake the 2-minute Wellness QuizIf you enjoyed this episode, please FOLLOW, RATE, REVIEW & SHARE!! Rates and reviews help the message get to more people!

You might be closer to your best life than you think.In this episode, Laurie shares two powerful moments from a recent retreat with a cohort of high-achieving midlife women—moments that reveal two of the biggest mindset barriers keeping women from fully stepping into their next chapter.The first came from a woman who realized she was already 75% of the way to living her best life—a reminder that many women don't need to burn everything down to create change. Often, it's about small shifts, clearer alignment, and finally prioritizing what matters most.The second moment came from a question many women quietly carry: How can I go after my best life when so many people have it worse than I do?In this conversation, Laurie unpacks both of these ideas and challenges the conditioning that tells women to stay small, feel guilty for wanting more, or wait until “someday” to pursue the life they truly want.You'll hear why midlife isn't a crisis—it's a crossroads—and why living your best life doesn't require a dramatic reinvention. Sometimes it just requires clarity, courage, and the willingness to make intentional shifts toward what matters most.If you've ever wondered whether it's too late to pursue more happiness, fulfillment, or alignment in your life, this episode will remind you that the second half of your life might just be the best one yet.LINKS + MENTIONS:Upcoming Best Life Retreat

In this Your Health University episode, Jamie sits down with Nurse Practitioner, Brooke Howard, President of Clinical Operations, to talk about Biote, wellness, and bioidentical hormone optimization—and why it has been life-changing for both of them. Brooke shares how a trusted colleague pushed her to look deeper when she was exhausted, gaining weight, and “holding it together by a thread.” Jamie opens up about anxiety, ADD medication, and how feeling hormonally balanced gave him the confidence to step into a new chapter. This conversation is for anyone who feels “off,” has been told their labs are “normal,” and wants to explore a more complete picture of wellness. www.YourHealth.Org
