This 4-in-1 compilation episode focuses on a persistent disconnect between capital and capability: women are founding businesses at record rates and leading high-performing funds, yet the capital rarely follows.In other words, women are underrepresented both in receiving and managing capital.Today's episode is about those pushing back against that trend – women-led investment managers and those intentionally channeling capital into women-led businesses.Here are the featured guests:Sharon Vosmek, CEO of Astia & Managing Partner of the Astia FundSharon Vosmek doesn't see gender equity in venture as a social goal – she sees it as a market inefficiency. With just 2–3% of VC funding going to women CEOs, she argues the system consistently overlooks high-potential founders. At Astia, she's investing in women-led startups with strong early traction, particularly in underserved sectors like women's health. She also challenges the informal, male-dominated networks – boardrooms, golf courses – where most deals are still made.Full episode Dr. Tara Bishop, Founder and Managing Director of Black Opal VenturesTara co-founded Black Opal Ventures to invest where healthcare and technology collide – and where traditional VC often misses.She and her partner, Eileen Tanghal, raised $63 million from institutional investors like Eli Lilly and JP Morgan, becoming one of the rare female- and minority-led funds in venture. Their portfolio reflects that identity: women-led companies, underserved markets, and problems overlooked by legacy capital.Full episode Tammy Newmark, CEO and Managing Partner of EcoEnterprises FundTammy leads EcoEnterprises Fund, a women-run investment firm focused on nature-positive businesses across Latin America. For over two decades, she's backed companies in sustainable agriculture, ecotourism, and agroforestry – many led by women and rooted in rural or Indigenous communities.Gender equity isn't the fund's focus, but it runs through the portfolio: in leadership teams, supply chains, and daily operations. About half of their investments meet 2X Challenge criteria – not because it's the mandate, but because that's who's doing the work.With $150 million under management, the fund combines financial discipline with long-term environmental and social goals.Full episode Stephanie Cohn Rupp, CEO of Veris Wealth PartnersStephanie runs Veris Wealth Partners, one of the few wealth management firms built from the ground up to do just one thing: impact. With $2.3 billion under management and offices across the U.S., Veris has been majority women-led and women-owned since its founding in 2007.It's built entirely around impact – certified B Corp, net zero, and intentionally conflict-free – and applies that lens across every asset class, with a deep focus on racial equity, climate, gender, and community wealth.For Stephanie, this isn't about doing impact. It's about being built for it.Full episode—The SRI 360° Podcast is focused exclusively on sustainable & responsible investing.—Connect with SRI360°:Sign up for the free weekly email update.Visit the SRI360° PODCAST.Visit the SRI360° WEBSITE.Follow SRI360° on X.Follow SRI360° on FACEBOOK.

In this Quack Asylum episode, Danny and Alan critically examine the claims surrounding “detoxification protocols” – specialized diets, cleanses, or supplements marketed to eliminate toxins from the body for better health. The central theme is whether these detox plans actually improve health outcomes or if they're built on pseudoscience and fear. Many alternative health proponents argue that modern life exposes us to countless toxins that accumulate in our bodies, causing chronic diseases, and thus we must undergo periodic detox regimens to cleanse ourselves. There is genuine concern about environmental pollutants and chemicals – indeed, numerous substances in our food, water, and air can be harmful at sufficient doses. Nutritional science also recognizes that certain nutrients (e.g. vitamins, antioxidants) play roles in the body's natural detox pathways. However, there's a large gap between acknowledging real toxic exposures versus endorsing commercial “detox” diets or products. Many people, including health professionals, encounter patients or clients interested in detox plans, so understanding the science (or lack thereof) behind these claims is important.

Renowned expert in environmental medicine, mold, and mast cell activation syndrome (MCAS), Dr. Kelly McCann, joins Tick Boot Camp live from the ILADS Conference to discuss the growing problem of environmental toxicant exposures and their role in chronic illnesses like Lyme disease. She also sheds light on the impact of mold exposure, challenges in diagnosing and treating MCAS, and practical strategies for improving health. This conversation is packed with valuable insights for anyone affected by chronic illness. Key Takeaways: Toxicant Overload: Individuals are exposed to up to 85,000 chemicals in the environment, which can disrupt immune function and contribute to chronic disease. Total Load Concept: Many people struggle with illness due to a limited detoxification capacity, making them more vulnerable to environmental exposures. Mold and Lyme Disease: Poorly constructed buildings often harbor mold, which can worsen chronic infections like Lyme and contribute to severe health issues. Understanding MCAS: Mast cell activation syndrome presents with varied and individualized symptoms, making diagnosis and treatment complex. Personal Experience: Dr. McCann shares her journey of developing chronic illness after exposure to a mold-contaminated clinic, emphasizing the need to address environmental and infectious triggers together. Healing Strategies: Practical steps to reduce toxicant exposure, improve detox pathways, and manage immune dysfunction.

Autoimmune Rehab: Autoimmune Healing, Support for Autoimmune Disorders, Autoimmune Pain Relief
In this eye-opening episode, we dive deep into Toxic Mold Syndrome—an often overlooked root cause of chronic illness. If you're dealing with unexplained fatigue, brain fog, sinus issues, or persistent inflammation, mold exposure could be the missing link. Learn the key signs and symptoms of mold toxicity, how to get a proper diagnosis, and holistic strategies to detox and support your immune system. Whether you're newly diagnosed or suspect mold may be impacting your health, this episode offers practical tips and expert insight to help you reclaim your wellness naturally. Bonnie K. Brown is a Board-Certified Patient Advocate and CellCore Biosciences Practitioner who has been dedicated to helping others uncover the root causes of their chronic illness since the year 2000. As the founder of A Better Life – Health & Wellness, she empowers individuals to reclaim their health by bridging the gap between traditional healthcare and foundational & functional medicine. Bonnie's mission is to simplify the healing journey for those who feel lost, scared, and overwhelmed - offering practical solutions and hope to those who've tried everything without success. Bonnie's expertise is not just professional - it's deeply personal. Her 40-year health journey began in college and unfolded into a decades-long medical mystery that nearly cost her life. A former Jet Ski Champion who won the World Cup Champtionship, and National Championship - and was the only female member of the 1988 U.S. Olympic Jet Ski Team in Seoul, South Korea - Bonnie unknowingly set herself on a collision course with environmental illness. Living on the water and near mold-infested buildings led to severe health issues that spiraled out of control. Despite graduating summa cum laude with a Master's Degree in Human Development and having a brother who was a Physician's Assistant and a sister who was a Medical Lab Technician, Bonnie endured 17 major surgeries (most unnecessary), spent over $400,000 in out-of-pocket costs, and was misdiagnosed for decades. Twice, she received last rites due to preventable medical events & medical malpractice. Her experiences taught her that intelligence, credentials, and even the best connections in the world aren't enough to navigate a broken healthcare system - unless you have someone who's lived it themselves and learned how to beat it. Today, Bonnie is that guide for others. She helps clients to fast-track their healing with her proven “3 Steps to Success” framework: 1. Get you out of the toxins 2. Get the toxins out of you 3. Keep your home and workspace safe Her clients, many of whom have seen top specialists and spent tens of thousands of dollars searching for solutions, and other medical professionals who are unable to fix their own body, or help their patients get better, finally find clarity, direction, and effective results through her support & guidance. Bonnie jokes that working with someone who's survived it all means that they get all of the wisdom without any of the scars. With deep empathy, unwavering resilience, and a roadmap to health forged through personal experience, Bonnie helps others turn their worst health setbacks into powerful comebacks. She's not just a survivor - she's a thriver, a healthcare navigator, and a lifeline for those ready to reclaim their health and hope. Her mission is simple yet profound: to help others live A Better Life by offering real solutions, actionable strategies, and the belief that healing is always possible.

This conversation highlights how histamine intolerance and mast cell activation syndrome can be the hidden drivers behind a wide range of chronic conditions, and why they're often overlooked in conventional medicine. From the role of gut health, food triggers, and environmental toxins to deeper root causes like Lyme disease or mold exposure, it's clear that personalized, Functional Medicine is key to uncovering real answers. Understanding the immune system's role in histamine reactions—and how even “healthy” foods can be inflammatory for some—is a critical step toward healing. In this episode, I talk with Dr. Todd LePine, Dr. Elizabeth Boham, and Dr. Mark Pimentel about what histamine intolerance is, how it can be related to gut health, and why it's important to address it.

Dr. LePine enjoys skiing, kayaking, hiking, camping, and golfing in the beautiful Berkshires, and is a fitness enthusiast. Dr. Elizabeth Boham is Board Certified in Family Medicine from Albany Medical School, and she is an Institute for Functional Medicine Certified Practitioner and the Medical Director of The UltraWellness Center.

Doctor's Farmacy with Mark Hyman, MD Key Takeaways Histamine intolerance and mast cell activation syndrome (MCAS) can be the hidden drivers behind a wide range of chronic conditions, such as fatigue, brain fog, food sensitivities, and skin issues – yet, histamine intolerance is often overlooked by conventional medicineMCAS is a condition where certain immune cells – called mast cells – release too many chemicals (like histamine) at the wrong timesUsing diet as a short-term therapeutic tool: A low-histamine diet or Low-FODMAP Dietis not a lifelong diet because tons of healthy foods have histamine in them Consume the freshest foods possible and avoid leftovers, as histamine levels in food rise over time after preparationFoods that are traditionally categorized as “healthy” may be contributing to your histamine issues; these include: aged meats, cheeses, fermented foods, and dairy Even though they are generally healthy, consuming them is like throwing gas on your histamine fire Implementing a low-histamine diet in three phases Phase 1 – remove alcohol, especially beer, wine, and champagne Phase 2 – remove canned and smoke fish (examples: anchovies), processed and fermented meats, aged cheese, pickled and fermented foods (sauerkraut, kimchi, yogurts, kefir, mustard, ketchups, vinegar, soy sauce) Phase 3 – remove plant foods such as spinach, avocado, tomatoes, pineapples, citrus foods Treat IBS with a low-FODMAP diet, which is specifically designed to reduce the fermentable carbohydrates that gut bacteria feed on; this helps reduce: gas production, bloating, bacterial Foods to avoid: Garlic, onions, wheat, legumes, milk, soft cheeses, apples, honey, sorbitol, xylitol, stone fruits, artificial sweetenersFoods to consume: Carrots, spinach, bananas, chicken, rice, cheddar cheese, eggsSupplement to support healthy histamine levels:Quercetin – a natural plant compound that helps people with mast cell issues, histamine intolerance, and allergies (with additional benefits to metabolic function) Read the full notes @ podcastnotes.orgMany people struggle with mysterious symptoms like fatigue, brain fog, food sensitivities, and skin issues—only to be misdiagnosed or dismissed altogether. This conversation highlights how histamine intolerance and mast cell activation syndrome can be the hidden drivers behind a wide range of chronic conditions, and why they're often overlooked in conventional medicine. From the role of gut health, food triggers, and environmental toxins to deeper root causes like Lyme disease or mold exposure, it's clear that personalized, Functional Medicine is key to uncovering real answers. Understanding the immune system's role in histamine reactions—and how even “healthy” foods can be inflammatory for some—is a critical step toward healing. In this episode, I talk with Dr. Todd LePine, Dr. Elizabeth Boham, and Dr. Mark Pimentel about what histamine intolerance is, how it can be related to gut health, and why it's important to address it.

Dr. LePine enjoys skiing, kayaking, hiking, camping, and golfing in the beautiful Berkshires, and is a fitness enthusiast. Dr. Elizabeth Boham is Board Certified in Family Medicine from Albany Medical School, and she is an Institute for Functional Medicine Certified Practitioner and the Medical Director of The UltraWellness Center.

Today's episode is pure story time chaos. Picture this: you're walking in Miami Beach with me, birds chirping, wind blowing, and I'm dodging sewage leaks, spring breakers, and a mold-infested home… all while trying to get to the most important facelift consultation of my life. This one starts as a casual walk-and-talk and spirals into an Uber debacle that includes: ✅ A hotel in meltdown mode (sewage leak and spring break traffic) ✅ Our ongoing mold nightmare and the mental toll of having no home or our belongings ✅ Why losing your home is more disorienting than you'd think ✅ An Uber driver with a full-blown domestic crisis mid-ride ✅ Me… stranded on the freeway… looking like a high-end escort ✅ Why the universe will start working in my favor (yes, I've decided) ✅ A sneak peek at my facelift consult—and what kind of results I'm NOT going for Plus, I explain why I don't want people to whisper “has she had work done?” I want them to know… and ask for the number. And if you've ever had one of those months where literally everything goes wrong? This one's for you. You're gonna laugh, cringe, and feel a whole lot better about your own chaos. Let's walk.

Many people struggle with mysterious symptoms like fatigue, brain fog, food sensitivities, and skin issues—only to be misdiagnosed or dismissed altogether. This conversation highlights how histamine intolerance and mast cell activation syndrome can be the hidden drivers behind a wide range of chronic conditions, and why they're often overlooked in conventional medicine. From the role of gut health, food triggers, and environmental toxins to deeper root causes like Lyme disease or mold exposure, it's clear that personalized, Functional Medicine is key to uncovering real answers. Understanding the immune system's role in histamine reactions—and how even “healthy” foods can be inflammatory for some—is a critical step toward healing. In this episode, I talk with Dr. Todd LePine, Dr. Elizabeth Boham, and Dr. Mark Pimentel about what histamine intolerance is, how it can be related to gut health, and why it's important to address it. Dr. Todd LePine graduated from Dartmouth Medical School and is Board Certified in Internal Medicine, specializing in Integrative Functional Medicine. He is an Institute for Functional Medicine Certified Practitioner. Prior to joining The UltraWellness Center, he worked as a physician at Canyon Ranch in Lenox, MA, for 10 years. Dr. LePine's focus at The UltraWellness Center is to help his patients achieve optimal health and vitality by restoring the natural balance to both the mind and the body. His areas of interest include optimal aging, bio-detoxification, functional gastrointestinal health, systemic inflammation, autoimmune disorders, and the neurobiology of mood and cognitive disorders. Dr. LePine enjoys skiing, kayaking, hiking, camping, and golfing in the beautiful Berkshires, and is a fitness enthusiast. Dr. Elizabeth Boham is Board Certified in Family Medicine from Albany Medical School, and she is an Institute for Functional Medicine Certified Practitioner and the Medical Director of The UltraWellness Center. Dr. Boham lectures on a variety of topics, including Women's Health and Breast Cancer Prevention, insulin resistance, heart health, weight control and allergies. She is on the faculty for the Institute for Functional Medicine. Dr. Mark Pimentel is a Professor of Medicine and Gastroenterology through the Geffen School of Medicine and an Associate Professor of Medicine at Cedars-Sinai. Dr. Pimentel is also the Executive Director of the Medically Associated Science and Technology (MAST) program at Cedars-Sinai, an enterprise of physicians and researchers dedicated to the study of the gut microbiome in order to develop effective diagnostic tools and therapies to improve patient care. Dr. Pimentel has over 150 publications in many high-profile journals, and he is the author of the book, The Microbiome Connection: Your Guide to IBS, SIBO, and low fermentation eating.
