Every once in a while, you come across a story so driven by purpose and heart that you can feel it in every word, and that's exactly how I felt talking to the co-founders of ByHeart. In this episode, Ron Belldegrun and Mia Funt, Co-founders of ByHeart, guide us through their remarkable journey to reinvent infant formula from the ground up, driven by science, transparency, and a deep conviction that parents deserve better options. From building their manufacturing facility to conducting one of the most extensive clinical trials in over 25 years, their story isn't just about disrupting a category; it's about raising the standard for an entire industry. If you're a founder, parent, or just someone passionate about what modern CPG brands can stand for, this conversation is packed with inspiration and actionable wisdom. Here are a few highlights from our conversation: * Why building their manufacturing was a necessity, not a strategy * The science and transparency behind their patented, breast milk-inspired formula * How community, parent feedback, and clinical trials fueled meaningful innovation * What it takes to challenge 100 years of industry status quo * Why ByHeart believes the future of infant nutrition is about access, evidence, and trust Join me, Ramon Vela, in listening to the episode to learn how this team built one of the most important—and personal—brands in modern consumer health.

In Junes solo episode you'll discover: I reflect on the spiritual energy of the solstice as a portal for healing, nourishment, and celebration of how far we've come. I share my thoughts on a sustainable summer and redefining summer as a season of self-care, joy, and intentional pacing rather than burnout and busyness. Exploring the importance of feminine wisdom, softness, and compassion in a world that often demands performance and reflecting from a podcast episode I recorded with Sophie Bashford. Shifting focus from what needs fixing to recognising and honouring inner progress and achievements. I share my journey of choosing joy and authenticity even in uncertainty and challenge. The power of small, consistent acts of self-love and how they ground us through life's ups and downs. Life will knock us down, but our strength lies in how we return to ourselves and care for our inner world. The power of the comeback. From fresh air to stillness, I remind listeners to return to the basics for grounding and clarity. Navigating a full life with the energy of the Two of Pentacles, holding celebration and challenge with grace. The importance of balancing the load.

Send us a textCaffeine is something that is integrated into most people's lives, but do you ever take a step back to really look at your relationship with caffeine? In this episode I discuss the effects of caffeine on the body and mind from both personal and Ayurvedic perspectives, comparing caffeine consumption to using an energy credit card. I explain how different Ayurvedic constitutions (Vata, Pitta, Kapha) react to caffeine, and I share my personal journey with and eventual break-up from caffeine. I explore the scientific and Ayurvedic views on caffeine's impact on the nervous system and emphasize the importance of self-awareness and moderation. I encourage listeners to track their caffeine consumption and its effects to better understand their relationship with the stimulant. My aim is to provide insight and guidance on maintaining a balanced and healthy approach to caffeine.In this episode:Today's Topic: CaffeinePersonal Perspective on CaffeineAyurvedic Perspective on CaffeineCaffeine and the MindPersonal Journey with CaffeineTips for Managing Caffeine ConsumptionResources mentioned in today's episode:The Nourished for Resilience PathNourished for Resilience WorkbookThe Weekend Nervous System ResetMy resources:Weekend Nervous System Reset Deep Rest MeditationNourished For Resilience Workbook Book a free Exploratory CallFind me at www.nourishednervoussystem.comand @nourishednervoussytem on Instagram
I had an absolute blast chatting with Erica Groussman, the bold and fearless founder of TRUBAR. Erica's energy is infectious, and her story is a masterclass in trusting your gut, listening to your body, and never settling for the status quo. What started as a personal journey to clean up her own nutrition turned into a full-on movement—and a fast-growing brand that's flipping the protein bar category on its head. TRUBAR isn't just another snack—it's a delicious, clean-label product with a powerful “no BS” message at the center. In our conversation, Erica opens up about the highs and lows of building a better-for-you brand, how she broke into mass retail on her own terms, and what it really takes to stand out on shelf and online in a crowded CPG space. Here are a few highlights from our conversation: * Why Erica believes "permissionless entry" is the key to innovation * How she went from her kitchen to national retail distribution * The truth about navigating manufacturing, scaling, and keeping your standards * Why brand voice and bold packaging are non-negotiables in today's market * The importance of staying raw, real, and mission-driven—no matter the pressure Join me, Ramon Vela, in listening to the episode and hear how Erica turned a personal health need into a fearless brand that's changing the snack game—one unapologetically clean bite at a time.

This interview left me feeling inspired and grounded. I sat down with Hayley and Stephanie Painter, the passionate co-owners behind Painterland Sisters, a family-run brand that's redefining what it means to bring food from farm to spoon. Raised on a fourth-generation regenerative farm in Pennsylvania, they've taken their roots and turned them into a vibrant, values-driven business that's nourishing people and the planet. In our conversation, we dive into how their Icelandic-style yogurt is not just a product, but a platform for connection, connecting consumers to farming, sustainability, and rural America. We talk about the highs and lows of building a CPG brand with family, the grit it takes to stay mission-aligned, and how they're navigating retail with boldness and heart. It's a story of sisterhood, soil, and serious entrepreneurial spirit. Here are some highlights from the episode: * How a regenerative farm upbringing shaped their business philosophy * The decision to launch with Icelandic-style yogurt—and why that mattered * What it takes to scale from local markets to national retail chains * Why storytelling and transparency are central to their brand DNA * Lessons learned from staying rooted in values while growing fast Join me, Ramon Vela, in listening to the episode and discover how two sisters are turning rural pride and regenerative farming into a standout CPG brand with heart.

Today, Pastor Lloyd resumes his expositional study of First Peter. We'll be considering chapter one and the first three verses of chapter two, where we receive encouragement not only turn to God and His word in times if trial, but also to understand why God allows those trials in our lives. Look, no one likes to suffer hardship, but God has a wonderful plan to grow our faith through them.

When your product is born out of love, necessity, and a mission to help others, it shows. In this episode, I sit down with Jesslyn Rollins, CEO of BIOLYTE, the first medical-grade hydration drink formulated to deliver the benefits of an IV bag in a bottle. What started as a way to help her mom during cancer treatment has grown into a mission-driven brand helping people stay hydrated across healthcare, athletic, and everyday wellness settings. We dive into Jesslyn's inspiring entrepreneurial journey, how she leaned on her background in theater to sell products from the ground up, and how BIOLYTE's science-backed formula is shaking up a legacy category.

As someone who's had the pleasure of working closely with Sachi Singh, the Founder & CEO of Rootless, I knew this episode would be special. Sachi isn't just building a product. She's building a movement rooted in impact, education, and transformation. In this conversation, we explore Rootless's origin story, how seaweed became the brand's "hero ingredient," and the systems thinking that underpins her entire approach to food, wellness, and the planet. We also discuss how Rootless is bridging the gap between food and medicine, creating a daily ritual that empowers women to feel better. Starting with iodine-rich, whole-food bites that taste as good as they are good for you, Sachi shares her philosophy on customer-led product development, the importance of regenerative sourcing, and why the future of women's health is personal, accessible, and community-driven. Here are some highlights from the episode: * Why seaweed could be the future of food and farming, and why your thyroid needs it * How Sachi used systems thinking to turn complex climate and nutrition issues into consumer action * The simple but powerful way Rootless collects feedback from its community * How she's balancing DTC-first growth with a scalable, retention-focused model * Her lessons on gut instinct, building from wholeness, and designing a brand with purpose Join me, Rose Hamilton, Founder of Compass Rose Ventures, in listening to the episode and learning what it really takes to launch a mission-driven brand that will change how we nourish ourselves and the planet.

Why do so many of us struggle with fat gain, blood sugar spikes, and insulin resistance—even when we think we're eating healthy? In this episode, Dr. Andreas Eenfeldt sits down with Dr. Mario Kratz, PhD, the nutrition scientist behind the popular YouTube channel *Nourished by Science*, to expose the food environment that's setting us up to fail. They dig deep into: - How fat storage breaks down and fuels disease - The myths surrounding CGMs and “normal” blood sugar - Why insulin resistance starts earlier than we think - And what actually works for long-term health and weight loss.

Send us a textYour body, mind and spirit want to heal. It is a matter of getting situated in the self and connecting to your life force and creating the conditions for thriving. But this is easier said than done. What gets in the way of healing? There could be so many answers to these questions but there are a few barriers that seem universal.In this episode , emphasizing Ayurvedic and somatic principles, I explore common barriers such as perceived lack of money and time, and offer practical strategies to overcome them. I also delve into deeper psychological barriers, encouraging you to adopt a mindset of honesty and self-compassion. The session highlights the value of small, sustainable steps and the need to prioritize self-care in accessible ways.

When it comes to fueling ambition, some stories are just unforgettable. In this episode, Rose Hamilton, founder of Compass Rose Venture, sits down with Scott Turner and Nick Lagonia, the powerhouse duo behind Misery & Mayhem, a new protein-packed oatmeal brand that's redefining what "fuel" really means for athletes and everyday warriors alike. We dive deep into how two former Peloton team members turned their personal fitness journeys and frustrations into a brand that's all about perseverance, grit, and getting after it — one bowl at a time. I loved this conversation because Scott and Nick embody the heart of entrepreneurship: bootstrapping their way forward, listening closely to their customers, and creating a product that isn't just high-quality, but also emotional, bold, and stands for something. Whether you're an entrepreneur, a fitness enthusiast, or love a good founder story, you'll walk away inspired. Here are just a few highlights from this episode:
In this episode of the Joyful Health Show Kasey interviews dietitian and eating disorder specialist Anna Marie Long together with her co-author of Nourished to Flourish Stephanie Brown, a personal trainer and soon to be dietitian about wellness culture's misuse of the scriptural phase “the temple of the Holy Spirit.” In This Episode We Discuss: The ways in which wellness culture negatively twists “your body is a temple” and why it matters How to recognize when scripture is being twisted to fit wellness culture's narrative What does it mean to care for our bodies as a temple without making it an idol 1 Corinthians 6:19-20 encourages us, “Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, whom you have from God? You are not your own, for you were bought with a price. So glorify God in your body.” As you meditate on this and listen to this episode, we pray you will discover what is truly means to glorify God in your body, not allowing the temple of God which is your body to become a place where wellness culture can buy and sell influence, but a house of prayer (Matthew 21:12), and a conduit of love and joy!

Content note: This episode includes discussions around intentional weight loss and diet culture, and therefore contains some swearing.This episode is part of a podcast series called The Body Stories. I'm joined by my beloved friend and fellow coach, Ali Shapiro. Over the next year, Ali and I will have an occasional and ongoing conversation about the nuanced relationship with our bodies.

On today's episode of The Story of a Brand Show, I'm joined by Lauren Picasso, the founder and CEO of Cure Hydration. What started as a personal struggle with staying hydrated as an endurance athlete led Lauren to launch a science-backed, clean-label hydration brand that is now available in thousands of retail stores. We talked about how she identified the gap in the hydration category, built Cure from the ground up (including mixing formulas at home), and the strategic choices that helped the brand scale across DTC and retail. Lauren didn't come from the CPG world, but her background in e-commerce and performance marketing helped her build a brand that's both mission-driven and data-informed. She shares how DTC insights led to major pivots in product format and packaging, why launching in CVS was a game-changer early on, and how Cure's clean ingredients and powder format offer a better, more sustainable alternative to traditional sports drinks. Here's what we cover in this episode: * Why coconut water powder + salt = hydration magic * The moment CVS expanded Cure to 3,000+ stores—and what it unlocked * The value of launching DTC before going retail * The surprising reason most customers buy Cure (hint: it's not just for athletes) * Expanding into a kids' line (with flavors kid-tested and approved) Join me, Ramon Vela, as we listen to the episode and get inspired by how one founder turned a personal need into a rapidly growing wellness brand, redefining what it means to stay truly hydrated.

In this episode, I chat with Charlie Weisman, the creative force behind Staff, a brand that's reimagining the most overlooked items in your home such as plungers, lint rollers, and oven mitts with joy, color, and a whole lot of personality. What started as a quirky side project during the COVID lockdown turned into a design-forward brand now making waves with retailers, collaborators, and even celebrities like Drew Barrymore. Charlie opens up about building Staff from scratch, why he didn't tell anyone what he was working on, and how trusting his instincts (plus a little naivete in the beginning) helped him take a bold, playful idea and turn it into something unforgettable. From early retail wins to lessons in manufacturing and shipping, this one's packed with insights and good vibes.
In this episode, I had the honor of sitting down with Julie Smolyansky, President, CEO, and Chairwoman of Lifeway Foods, a pioneering brand behind the kefir movement in the U.S. We dive deep into Julie's incredible family story, from escaping the Soviet Union with just $116 to building a nearly $200M company that now owns 95% of the global kefir category. Julie shares how her father's dream, her mother's entrepreneurial spirit, and her own grit helped turn a probiotic-rich dairy drink into a wellness staple for millions. We also discuss the science behind kefir, staying innovative while running a public company, and how Julie is standing strong in the face of a hostile takeover attempt. This isn't just a conversation about dairy; it's about resilience, passion, legacy, and the powerful connection between gut health and life. Key Moments in This Episode: *

Aneta, thanks for sharing your many gifts with the people you serve, for having the courage to share your story, and for being our guest on Life's Essential Ingredients – welcome to the show!TOTD – "Nietzsche was the one who did the job for me. At a certain moment in his life, the idea came to him of what he called "the love of your fate." Whatever your fate is, whatever the hell happens, you say, "This is what I need." It may look like a wreck, but go at it as though it were an opportunity, a challenge. If you bring love to that moment — not discouragement — you will find the strength is there. Any disaster you can survive is an improvement in your character, your stature, and your life. What a privilege! Then, when looking back at your life, you will see that the moments which seemed to be great failures followed by wreckage were the incidents that shaped the life you have now. The crisis throws you back, and when you are required to exhibit strength, it comes."Joseph Campbell – Writer and Professor Build a habit - to create intention - to live your purpose!In this episode:What was life like growing up?What are your life's essential ingredients?Originally from Chicago… was working as a hairstylist… but wanted something more…The Power of Your StoryThe importance of self-awareness and self-love…Congrats on your podcast – Nourished Inside Out – how many seasons… focuses on health relationships…Define healing…You mention neuroscience often… what aspect of it are you speaking of?Let's talk about forgiveness…Congrats on your book – Blooming with Self-Love… let the listeners know about it,Decision making – how has that process changed for you as you have matured and learned more about life…Legacy
What does it take to build a premium wellness brand in one of the world's most regulated, misunderstood, and competitive industries? In this episode, I sit down with David Hartigan, Founder and CEO of Hemp Heros, to talk about the real story behind his mission-driven CBD and functional mushroom company. From managing MMA fighters to becoming one of the few B Corp-certified hemp brands, David shares how a single moment of belief changed his life and how he's paying it forward through his business. David takes us behind the scenes of launching into the U.S. market, setting up U.S.-based manufacturing, creating pet products that win hearts (and tails), and building multiple brands with integrity. He's also inspired by his mother's health journey with a new mushroom line. He's proof that success follows when you lead with quality and purpose.
Send us a textWhat does it really take to break free from toxic relationship patterns and transform your pain into purpose? Aneta Waclaw's journey offers a roadmap for anyone stuck in cycles of unhealthy connections.From the outside, Aneta's life in Chicago looked perfect—pursuing her dream career as a hairstylist. But beneath the surface, she struggled with poor self-image and found herself in a marriage that slowly dismantled her sense of self. "He hated how I looked, how I dressed, how I talked, who I hung out with—everything," she reveals about her ex-husband. "I truly had to lose myself to find myself again."Her healing journey wasn't instant. Even after divorce at 23, she continued attracting toxic patterns until making the radical decision to move abroad where nobody knew her. This brave step became the foundation for profound inner work that eventually led to her creating the "Nourished from Inside Out" podcast and writing "Blooming with Self-Love," a positive affirmations and gratitude journal.Aneta shares practical wisdom on rebuilding self-confidence through daily mirror work, setting boundaries to protect your peace, and recognizing relationship red flags. Perhaps most powerfully, she reframes personal struggles as purposeful stepping stones: "Your challenges, there's purpose in them. You just have to look a little deeper to see the positive side." Her final advice? "Always date yourself. Be your best friend, be your best date." This conversation offers hope that no matter how broken you feel, healing and finding your purpose are always possible.Want to be a guest on Living the Dream with Curveball?
