What happens when the person you've always been no longer feels like the person you're becoming? In this deeply thoughtful coaching session, Christine works with Gihan, who is navigating the space between her cultural and familial identity and the life her soul feels called to create. Living with her mother in Cairo, Gihan has been on a healing journey that has challenged old patterns of people-pleasing and encouraged her to question what she truly wants. She feels drawn toward a simpler life—possibly living abroad, spending more time near the beach, and creating a life that feels authentic to her. But that desire brings up a difficult question: Does she genuinely want a different life, or is she simply trying to escape the discomfort of becoming a different version of herself? As Christine and Gihan explore that question, the conversation moves into belonging, identity, family, spirituality, and the tension that can arise when your soul seems to be pulling you in a direction that looks different from the life, culture, or expectations you were born into. Christine offers an important reframe: transformation doesn't always have to be an either/or decision. Sometimes the path forward is both/and—honoring where you came from while also remaining loyal to where your soul is leading you. If you've ever felt caught between who you've been and who you're becoming, questioned whether following your truth means leaving something—or someone—behind, or struggled to honor both your spirituality and your humanity, this conversation will resonate. Press play to discover how you can follow your soul without abandoning the human parts of you that still need belonging, compassion, and connection. Consider / Ask Yourself Do you feel caught between the identity you've always known and the person you're becoming? Are you questioning whether a desire for change is intuition—or an attempt to escape discomfort? Do you fear that choosing your own path could cost you belonging, connection, or approval? Where are you thinking in either/or terms when a both/and approach may be possible? Key Insights and A-Ha's Transformation often requires a period of not fully knowing who you're becoming. Choosing a different path can activate a primal fear of losing belonging. Your soul's desires and your human needs don't have to be mutually exclusive. Spiritual growth doesn't require bypassing difficult human emotions like judgment, fear, jealousy, or uncertainty. Authenticity isn't about becoming a perfect version of yourself—it's about becoming more genuine. Our judgments can become powerful teachers when we get curious about what they're reflecting back to us. How to Deepen the Work Notice when you're framing a decision as either/or and ask whether there's a both/and possibility. When judgment arises, practice acknowledging it without shame and asking what it may be showing you about yourself. Offer compassion to the human parts of you that feel afraid when your soul calls you toward something unfamiliar. Give yourself permission to be in the middle of transformation without needing to immediately define your new identity.

My testosterone is 312 ng/dL. By most standards, that's low. But instead of panicking, I sat down and asked myself a simple question: is it actually a problem? In this episode, I walk through my own testosterone journey from TRT and hCG to where I've landed today, and why I'm not rushing to fix a number just because it's low. I look at the tradeoffs I've noticed between higher and lower T: appetite, libido, resting heart rate, HRV, even risk-taking. I also lay out the honest self-assessment I think everyone should run before reaching for a prescription: are your energy, strength, body composition, and drive actually suffering, or are you just reacting to a lab result? This isn't a case against TRT. It's a case for knowing why you're doing it before you start. Thank you to this episode's sponsor, Peluva!

I'm 44, running multiple businesses, homeschooling my kids, and managing a 45-acre homestead. And I'm in better shape now than I was a decade ago. Not because I have more time. I don't. But because I stopped relying on motivation and built systems that work regardless of how I feel on any given day. In this episode, I walk you through the six pillars I use to stay in peak health during the busiest chapter of my life: nutrition anchored in animal protein, strength that comes from living and working on a farm, conditioning built into daily movement, sleep treated as the foundation rather than an afterthought, light exposure that keeps my circadian rhythm locked in, and nervous system regulation that emerges from lifestyle rather than added protocols. None of these are complicated. The power is in stacking them consistently until they require no decision-making at all. If you've been waiting for life to calm down before you get healthy — this episode is for you. Thank you to this episode's sponsor, Peluva!

How do you protect your child without living in constant fear? In this deeply compassionate coaching session, Christine works with Shelley, whose journey through chronic illness, mold toxicity, Lyme disease, fertility challenges, and becoming a new mother has left her feeling trapped in a cycle of hypervigilance around environmental toxins. What began as a genuine desire to keep her daughter safe has slowly become an exhausting mental prison. Every trip to the grocery store feels overwhelming. Every product label raises questions. Every social media post from health experts seems to introduce a new threat. Instead of enjoying motherhood, Shelley finds herself consumed by worry and worst-case scenarios. As Christine gently unpacks the deeper layers beneath the anxiety, a powerful truth emerges: Shelley's hypervigilance isn't the problem—it's a protective part of her that developed after years of trauma, illness, and uncertainty. Together they explore Parts Work (Internal Family Systems), nervous system regulation, motherhood, chronic illness recovery, intuition, and the difference between living from awareness versus living from fear. If you've ever found yourself obsessing over health, constantly researching the next thing to worry about, or feeling like your mind has become consumed by trying to control the uncontrollable, this episode offers a compassionate path back to peace. Press play to discover how trusting yourself—and allowing love to become louder than fear—can help you step out of survival mode and back into your life. Consider / Ask Yourself Do you spend so much time trying to protect yourself or your loved ones that it's difficult to enjoy the present moment? Has your search for health information become a source of anxiety instead of empowerment? Are you constantly scanning for what could go wrong instead of appreciating what is going well? What would change if you trusted your intuition more than your fear? Key Insights and A-Ha's Hypervigilance is often a protective response born from trauma—not a character flaw. Information becomes overwhelming when fear is driving the search for certainty. You don't need to eliminate your protective parts—you can simply give them a new role. Awareness is empowering; obsession is exhausting. Raising your inner sense of safety can be just as important as reducing external risks. How to Deepen the Work Notice when your protective part is taking over and gently thank it for trying to keep you safe. Limit exposure to fear-based content that keeps your nervous system activated. Spend intentional time strengthening the parts of yourself that feel creative, joyful, intuitive, and present. Practice speaking words of trust, health, and resilience over yourself and your loved ones.

If you've spent any time in a gym, you've heard it: you need carbs to build muscle. It's gospel. Every bro coach and most personal trainers will tell you the same thing. The problem is it's not actually true. And my guest this week is living proof. Robert Sikes is a pro natural bodybuilder who has been ketogenic for 11 years, eating fewer than 20 grams of carbs a day the entire time. No rice, no grains, no oatmeal, none of the stuff bodybuilders are supposed to live on. And he competes and wins on the world stage. In 2023 he got down to 3.9% body fat, making him the leanest man on earth at the time. He's also the founder of Keto Brick, a shelf-stable high-fat food he originally created for his own competition prep because nothing like it existed. In this episode, we get into the carb and muscle myth, what 11 years of keto has actually done to his blood work, and the tradeoffs nobody on social media wants to talk about. The argument for carbs usually comes down to insulin, which is a powerful anabolic agent. Everything grows in the presence of insulin, muscle included. But as Sikes lays out, you don't need excess insulin to build muscle. You need a caloric surplus, enough protein, enough training intensity, and enough recovery. The rest is just body fat you'll have to lose later, and the athletes chasing muscle through exogenous insulin often pay a steep price for it. The same myth applies to testosterone. People assume Sikes must be running sky-high levels to look the way he does, but he isn't. He competes in natural federations that don't allow TRT, and his testosterone typically sits between 400 and 600. When he was at 3.9% body fat, it dropped to 87. That's not a level anyone would call healthy, but it proves you don't need elevated testosterone to build and hold muscle. I've experimented with TRT myself and walked away from it, and we get into why the negative feedback loop made it not worth it for either of us. Where the conversation really opens up is the philosophical side. When do you intervene and when do you accept what nature gave you? We talk about genetics versus lifestyle, why he doesn't try to cheat death, and why an athlete's identity shouldn't be wrapped up in their physical abilities, because we're all biodegradable vessels of meat and bone that eventually deteriorate. His whole family eats this way too, including his kids, whose first real food was a beef knuckle bone rather than rice cereal. About Robert Sikes: Robert Sikes is a lifetime natural competitive bodybuilder and CEO of Keto Brick, who traded traditional bro-dieting for a strict ketogenic approach back in 2014 after developing disordered eating on a high-carb protocol. Since making the switch, he earned his WNBF pro status and became the leanest man in the world in 2023. He now dedicates his work to coaching others through his Savage System program and fueling performance through his Keto Brick — a 1,000-calorie ketogenic meal he originally created for his own contest prep.

Ric Scalzo began his exploration of herbal and naturopathic medicine in 1980, delving into fields such as Naturopathic Herbal Medicine, Eclectic Herbal Medicine, Ayurvedic Medicine, Traditional Chinese Medicine, and various diagnostic methods. He earned a master's degree in Herbal Medicine from the School of Herbal Medicine and was awarded an Honorary Doctorate of Naturopathic Medicine from Southwest College of Naturopathic Medicine. After several years of medical practice, Ric founded Gaia Herbs in 1987 and grew Gaia to the most respected and successful herbal company in the country. After selling Gaia in 2019, Ric established the Institute of Botanical Research in Arizona and established CR Medicinal Farms, a regenerative organic farm in Costa Rica. These became the stepping stones for his new adventure called Kokora, a herbal products company focused on regenerative organic cultivation with a mission to "create the finest herbal remedies that promote health and vitality for all". Celebrated for his pioneering work in Herbal Medicine and his dedication to preserving herbal integrity for over four decades, Ric continues to innovate in the field and plays a key role in integrating regenerative agriculture with herbal medicine. In this episode, Ric Scalzo explores how regenerative herbal farming, constitution‑based botanical formulas, and aligned sleep practices can radically upgrade immune resilience, metabolic health, and inner‑outer environment regeneration.

Have you ever felt like you've done all the inner work... yet one fear refuses to leave? In this compassionate and eye-opening coaching session, Christine works with Ilaria, who has spent years in therapy, practicing breathwork, nervous system regulation, and inner child healing. Yet one fear continues to consume her: the overwhelming fear of losing her parents. As she approaches her mid-thirties and begins thinking about creating a life of her own—finding a partner, becoming more independent, and stepping into her future—the fear grows even stronger. Why? Because underneath the anxiety isn't simply a fear of loss. It's a younger part of her that believes worrying is the only way to protect the people she loves. Christine introduces Ilaria to the powerful framework of Internal Family Systems (IFS) and Parts Work, helping her recognize that this fear isn't all of who she is—it's one protective part that's been trying to keep her safe since childhood. Together they explore acceptance, self-compassion, nervous system healing, and why sometimes the greatest breakthrough comes not from trying harder to fix ourselves, but from changing how we relate to the parts of us that are hurting. If you've ever felt trapped by anxiety, worried constantly about the people you love, or wondered why years of healing haven't made a particular fear disappear, this episode offers a deeply hopeful new perspective. Press play to discover how accepting your fear—rather than fighting it—may be the very thing that finally brings you peace. Consider / Ask Yourself Is there a fear you've been trying to eliminate for years without success? Do you constantly worry about losing the people you love? Have you confused your anxiety with your identity? Could one protective part of you be trying to keep you safe in the only way it knows how? Key Insights and A-Ha's Anxiety doesn't define you—it may simply be one protective part of your inner world. Healing isn't always about eliminating fear; sometimes it's about changing your relationship to it. Love and fear often become intertwined, making it difficult to experience one without the other. Parts Work (IFS) helps create compassion for protective patterns instead of fighting against them. Nothing truly heals through judgment—acceptance creates space for transformation. How to Deepen the Work Notice when fear shows up, and gently ask yourself, "Which part of me is speaking right now?" Practice separating your identity from your anxious thoughts: "This is a part of me, not all of me." Explore Parts Work or Internal Family Systems with a trained practitioner if this approach resonates. Allow yourself to fully experience love without assuming fear must always accompany it.

Most people treat sleep as a shopping problem — a new mattress, a supplement, a fancy tracker. But that's not what's broken. Your body is waiting for signals it evolved to read, and modern life stopped sending them. In this episode, I break down the three most common sleep problems — trouble falling asleep, staying asleep, and waking up exhausted — and walk you through how to identify which one you're actually dealing with. Then I give you a simple, free, week-by-week framework to start fixing it without buying anything. The one thing I'd do first? Get outside within an hour of waking up. No sunglasses, no phone. Just real daylight. That single habit sets the tone for everything that follows. Thank you to this episode's sponsor, Peluva! Peluva makes minimalist shoes to support optimal foot, back and joint health. I started wearing Peluvas several months ago, and I haven't worn regular shoes since.

Dr. Catharine Arnston is an expert on algae nutrition, a wellness thought leader, an experienced entrepreneur and sought after speaker. In 2008 Catharine left her corporate job to care for her sister who was diagnosed with breast cancer. When Catharine learned that algae's vast healing properties were documented in tens of thousands of scientific studies, but none of these studies or benefits were known outside of Asia, she knew she had to do something. And that's how ENERGYbits was born! In this episode, Dr. Catharine Arnston and Tara dive into how spirulina and chlorella microalgae power mitochondria, detox the body, support gut health, and plug into biohacking and women's longevity.

Trigger Warning: This episode includes discussions of suicide, the loss of a child, emotional abuse, and narcissistic relationship dynamics. Please care for yourself and listen only if it feels supportive. What do you do when you're grieving the unimaginable... and someone you once trusted continues to cause harm in the aftermath? In this profoundly moving coaching session, Christine sits down with Mary, whose teenage son died by suicide just nine months ago. As she navigates the heartbreaking reality of losing her child, Mary finds herself confronting another devastating challenge: discovering that her ex-husband has publicly misrepresented their son's cause of death while using his memory to promote a charitable foundation. For years, Mary lived in fear of speaking her truth during an emotionally abusive marriage. Now, she's faced with a painful question: Can she find the courage to use her voice—not from anger or revenge, but from love, integrity, and a desire to honor her son's legacy? Together, Christine and Mary explore grief, trauma, narcissistic abuse, reclaiming personal power, and the delicate balance between seeking justice and protecting your own peace. Their conversation is a powerful reminder that healing doesn't require silence—and that telling the truth can be an act of profound love. Whether you've experienced deep loss, struggled to find your voice after an abusive relationship, or wondered how to move forward when life feels unbearably unfair, this episode offers compassion, validation, and hope. Press play to hear a courageous conversation about honoring truth, reclaiming your voice, and allowing both grief and joy to coexist. Consider / Ask Yourself Have you ever stayed silent because you were afraid of someone else's reaction? Do you struggle to trust your own voice after experiencing manipulation or emotional abuse? Are you carrying grief while also trying to rebuild your life? Can you allow yourself to experience moments of joy without feeling guilty? Key Insights and A-Ha's Grief and joy are not opposites—they can exist together. Years of emotional abuse can disconnect you from your own inner knowing. Speaking your truth doesn't require anger; it can come from love and integrity. Healing often begins when we stop abandoning our own voice. You are not responsible for another person's choices, but you are responsible for honoring your own truth. How to Deepen the Work Notice where fear may still be preventing you from expressing your truth. Practice asking yourself, "What feels true for me?" before seeking external validation. Allow yourself to receive support from trusted friends, professionals, or your community. Remember that choosing joy does not diminish your love for someone you've lost.

There's a clip going around from a well-known homesteader implying that carrying heavy milk jugs is enough of a workout, and that you don't need to lift weights or do any structured training. I think that's worth pushing back on – not as body shaming or anything like that, but because the logic has a real flaw in it. There's an important distinction between maintaining your current level of fitness and actually improving it. If you're already in the shape you want to be in, manual labor can absolutely be enough to hold that ground. But if your body fat is high, your bone density is low, your inflammatory markers are elevated, or you're just not where you want to be metabolically, shoveling compost and hauling milk jugs isn't going to move the needle in any meaningful way. After all, you can find plenty of hardworking manual laborers who are overweight. Whatever they're doing all day clearly isn't enough stimulus on its own. In this episode, I explain why manual labor and structured resistance training are not the same thing, what it actually takes to cause muscle tissue to grow and bone density to improve, and why where you're starting from determines what kind of work you actually need to do. The key variable is stimulus. If you're 18 and weigh nothing, almost any physical activity provides enough stimulus to get stronger. If you're 40 or 50 and you've been sedentary, carrying 25 pounds overhead a few times a day isn't going to challenge your body the way it needs to be challenged. Case in point: I can farmer carry 200 pounds. I'm not saying everyone needs to be at that level, but if you are, there's a meaningful difference between that and a milk jug – and pretending otherwise doesn't serve anyone. I also want to be clear about what I'm not saying. Not all women want to look like they train for powerlifting meets, and most women have higher body fat (for legitimate biological reasons). But there's a lot of ground between a six-pack and poor bone density and metabolic dysfunction, and that ground is worth fighting for regardless of your sex. These days, I only get to the gym once or twice a week, and I rely on homestead work the rest of the time. And that's enough for me to maintain what I built over years of serious training. But I can only maintain that because I built it first. If I'd started with a shovel and never picked up a barbell, I wouldn't have gains worth maintaining.

Eric Perner spent most of his early life and career on horseback learning the craft and trade of equine athletic competitions at the highest level. After competing nationwide as a professional journeymen jockey for 10 years he retired and completed his Mechanical Engineering degree at the University of Tulsa, he has since received his Professional Engineering license and served in multiple executive roles in the O&G industry. Later he moved on from the extractive O&G industry and became a full time cattle rancher, Co-Founder/CEO of REP Provisions, a direct to consumer supplier of locally raised regenerative meats from local family farms, and COO of Rebellion Energy Solutions, a company focusing on the plugging of leaking O&G wells and the restoration of these lands to regenerative landscapes. He uses his diverse skill sets to develop unique environmental solutions in the Energy Industry and for various problems facing agriculture. Eric is an educator on the topic of regenerative agriculture and his unique insights show why cattle can be an intricate and necessary part of our grassland ecosystems; however, the improper management of cattle can lead to environmental degradation. Eric owns the Double P Ranch in Mounds, Oklahoma where they produce grass-fed beef, goat, lamb and pastured pork as part of the supply chain for REP Provisions. He operates his ranch as a Savory Global Business Hub to provide restoration grazing education and guidance for other local ranchers in the methods of holistic management to create the conditions that lead to the regeneration of our native grasslands. In this episode, Tara and regenerative rancher Eric Perner dive into how truly regenerative agriculture restores soil, water cycles, and biodiversity while improving human health and why voting with your food dollars really matters.

How do you know when it's time to let go of a dream… and when it's time to keep holding on? In this deeply moving coaching session, Christine works with Asa, who has spent the last 18 months wrestling with one of the biggest decisions of her life: whether to have a second child. Her heart longs for another baby—for the chance to experience motherhood again, to give her son a sibling, and to hold onto a season of life she isn't ready to say goodbye to. But her reality tells a different story. Between health challenges, stress in her marriage, financial concerns, aging parents, and feeling emotionally depleted, Asa wonders if the loving choice might actually be to let go of the dream. As the conversation unfolds, Christine gently uncovers something even deeper: perhaps the longing for another child isn't only about another baby. Perhaps it's also a longing to nurture the part of herself that never fully got to be a child. Together they explore emotional depletion, inner child healing, motherhood, grief, and why making major life decisions from exhaustion often leads us further away from ourselves. If you've ever felt stuck in indecision, struggled to trust your intuition, or wondered whether you're yearning for something external that's actually pointing you inward, this episode will offer clarity and compassion. Press play to discover why the most important life you may need to nurture right now is your own. Consider / Ask Yourself Is there a major life decision you've been avoiding because you're afraid of making the "wrong" choice? Are you making decisions from a place of depletion or from a place of wholeness? Do you feel responsible for taking care of everyone else while neglecting yourself? What part of you is asking to be nurtured before you take your next big step? Key Insights and A-Ha's Indecision often creates more emotional exhaustion than making a conscious choice. Sometimes the longing for something external points to an unmet need within. Self-mothering is an essential part of healing—especially for caregivers and parents. Emotional depletion makes it difficult to hear your intuition clearly. The most loving decision is often the one that honors your current capacity, not your expectations. How to Deepen the Work Notice where you're trying to force clarity instead of creating the conditions for clarity to emerge. Ask yourself what your inner child truly needs right now—not what you think you "should" be doing. Create space to replenish your physical, emotional, and relational well-being before making major life decisions. Practice offering yourself the same compassion and care you naturally give to others.

Most of us eat by the clock, not by hunger. In this episode, I break down the difference between real physiological hunger and the cravings, habits, and schedules that drive most of our eating decisions — and why that distinction matters more than any diet. I share what happened when I skipped breakfast before a photo shoot in Miami, how ghrelin trains itself to your schedule, and why fasting for a day might be the simplest recalibration tool you're not using. If you can't skip a meal without falling apart, your metabolic flexibility needs work. This episode is about fixing that — no supplements, no apps, no cost.

If you're dealing with foot pain, balance issues, knee discomfort, or aches that seem to appear out of nowhere, your footwear may be playing a bigger role than you think. Modern shoes can change the way your feet function and why strong, mobile feet are essential for staying active and independent as you age. You'll discover practical strategies to improve foot strength, support better movement, and make smarter footwear choices without giving up comfort. By the end, you may never look at your favorite pair the same way again—and you'll know exactly how to tell if they're among the shoes ruining your foot health. My Guest: Mark Sisson has been shaking up the world of health and fitness for over twenty years. He ignited the ancestral health movement in 2006 with his wildly successful blog, Mark's Daily Apple, and his best-selling book The Primal Blueprint. He helped popularize the ketogenic diet and the concept of intermittent fasting with his New York Times best-selling books, The Keto Reset Diet and Two Meals a Day. He gave millions of health-minded grocery shoppers access to healthier sauces and dressings with his Primal Kitchen Food company. He sold Primal Kitchen to Kraft Heinz for $200MM. And now he wants to change the way the world walks with his latest venture, a shoe company called Peluva and his latest book Born to Walk. Questions We Answer in This Episode: How did your journey from health entrepreneur to footwear innovator begin? Is it better to start walking in cushioned shoes or transition directly to minimalist footwear? What happens to your feet when you switch from traditional shoes to Peluva shoes? Why is the big toe considered one of the most important joints for movement, strength, and longevity? If you're overweight, out of shape, or new to exercise, what type of footwear should you start walking in? Are we seeing a shift toward healthier footwear choices for children and future generations? If you could go back to your athletic prime, how might stronger foot health have changed your future as an athlete? Do you miss distance running, and has your perspective on exercise changed with age? Is minimalist footwear right for everyone, and who benefits most from it? If this episode made you flip your workout routine — share it!
This may be one of the most important podcasts I've ever shared. Carl Lanore sits down with Dr. Anthony Samsel to break down his research on glyphosate, why he believes it's contaminating the food supply, rainwater, human tissue, and even products people never expect — and why he thinks banning it is the only real solution.I've been looking into this for a while, and after hearing this conversation, I believe people need to hear it, talk about it, challenge it, research it, and figure out what we can actually do next. Strength is never a weakness. Weakness is never a strength.Special perks for our listeners below!

What if keeping the peace is actually keeping you from being fully yourself? In this heartfelt and empowering coaching session, Christine works with Emily, who is preparing to release her first book—a deeply personal guide about becoming an intentional, loving grandparent called Don't Skip the Party. But instead of celebration, Emily is met with silence and defensiveness from her mother. As her mom reads the book through the lens of her own regrets and perceived shortcomings, Emily finds herself pulled back into a familiar role: making sure everyone else is okay, even at the expense of her own truth. Together, Christine and Emily unpack one of the most common generational patterns many women carry—the belief that love means managing other people's emotions. The conversation explores boundaries, codependency, family dynamics, and the difference between truth spoken with love versus sacrificing yourself to keep others comfortable. If you've ever felt responsible for a parent's happiness, struggled to set loving boundaries, or found yourself shrinking your truth to avoid upsetting others, this episode will resonate deeply. Press play to discover why letting people have their feelings may be one of the most loving things you can do—for them and for yourself. Consider / Ask Yourself Do you feel responsible for keeping peace within your family? Are you uncomfortable when people are upset with you? Do you soften your truth or hold yourself back to avoid disappointing others? Have you confused love with self-sacrifice? Key Insights and A-Ha's Love does not require managing another person's emotions. Boundaries are not rejection—they are an act of self-respect and honesty. Protecting people from discomfort can sometimes prevent their growth. Breaking generational patterns means changing your role in the family dynamic—not forcing others to change theirs. Truth and love belong together. One without the other creates imbalance. How to Deepen the Work Notice where you take responsibility for emotions that don't belong to you. Ask yourself: "Am I being loving—or am I people-pleasing?" Practice allowing others to have their own reactions without rushing to fix them. Reflect on where you can choose truth and love simultaneously.

Harry Massey is a Bioenergetics Pioneer, bestselling author, award-winning filmmaker, and Quantum Wellness Visionary whose life's work was forged through one of the most unlikely paths to healing imaginable. After a catastrophic mountaineering accident left him bedridden for nearly a decade, Harry discovered firsthand what happens when every health system fails you — Western, holistic, and functional alike. Determined to survive, he turned to physics. Through his research, Harry co-founded one of the world's first R&D companies in bioenergetics and spent two decades building technology that could measure, manage, and master the human energy field. Today, Harry is the Founder & CEO of Energy4Life and the visionary behind some of the most groundbreaking bioenergetic technologies in the world — including the miHealth Device, the Bioenergetic Voice Scan, and the GEM Wearable, an AI-powered device that detects and corrects emotional energy imbalances in real time. Beyond his work as an entrepreneur and inventor, Harry is a bestselling author and the writer, director, and producer of several documentaries, including the award-winning film The Living Matrix. His latest film is set to release Summer 2026 — a timely and powerful exploration of what it means to heal at the energetic level. In this episode, Tara and Harry Massey dive into bioenergetics, infoceuticals, and wearable tech that aim to restore "energy for life" by imprinting corrective information into the body's energy field.

Most people treat the recommended daily protein intake as a target. It's not; it's the bare minimum to avoid getting sick, and I've been eating well above it for years without gaining fat or damaging my kidneys. In this episode, I break down how much protein you actually need per day, why protein timing for muscle matters less than how you dose it, and the one variable almost nobody talks about: the leucine threshold. Hit it per meal and you trigger muscle protein synthesis. Miss it and nothing happens — no matter how much you eat across the day. I also get into why animal protein vs plant protein isn't even a close comparison when it comes to bioavailability and amino acid completeness, and why your protein intake for aging should go up, not down, as you get older. If you want to know how to maintain muscle mass without living in the gym or counting every gram, this one's for you. Thank you to this episode's sponsor, Peluva! Peluva makes minimalist shoes to support optimal foot, back and joint health. I started wearing Peluvas several months ago, and I haven't worn regular shoes since.

In this episode, Dr. Patrick Porter, Ashok Gupta, and Jack Savage explore with Tara how brain retraining, better sleep, targeted tech like BrainTap, and gentler stimulants with ingredients such as L‑theanine and medicinal mushrooms can calm an overstimulated nervous system and improve focus. Dr. Patrick K. Porter, PhD, is an award-winning author/speaker and the founder of BrainTap®, the leader in technology-enhanced meditation. Dr. Porter pioneered the use of brainwave entrainment to improve clarity, sleep & energy, and remains at the forefront of scientific research. He founded BrainTap with the goal of making this technology accessible to everyone. BrainTap offers over 1800 original audio sessions in 12 languages and serves a worldwide user base with its mobile app and headset. Ashok Gupta is the mind behind The Gupta Program and a leading expert in the field of neuroimmune conditioned syndromes (NICS). Ashok is an internationally renowned Speaker, Filmmaker & Health Practitioner who has dedicated his life to supporting people through chronic illness, and achieving their potential. As someone who's always had trouble focusing, Jack Savage was prescribed stimulants at the age of 5 until high blood pressure gave cause for serious concern. He quit cold turkey and started drinking lots of coffee. After 1-2 hours of ineffective energy, he'd crash or if he drank too much, he'd feel jittery and anxious. That's when he started researching biohacking, nutrition and functional mushrooms. Jack found that basically all mushrooms are magical, especially when combined with nootropics. This led him to the ingredients in Everyday Dose, which have allowed him to regain control of his life for the first time.

Mike Stratton from Marek Health joins Mark Bell's Power Project to break down the modern world of health optimization, including TRT, peptides, GLP-1s, blood work, diagnostics, performance medicine, fertility, risk mitigation, and why the best results usually come from a personalized plan instead of blindly chasing the next drug.Mike also shares his personal experience with Ibogaine, how it changed his life, and why true optimization is not just about hormones or medications, but movement, mindset, nervous system regulation, and becoming harder to kill.Follow Mike Stratton:Instagram: @mstratton13Follow Marek Health:Instagram: @marekhealthWebsite: https://marekhealth.com/Special perks for our listeners below!
Writer and ultrarunner Gaël Dutigny joins us to talk about his Ultra Running Magazine article, "Fear Isn't a Weakness," and why fear may be one of the most misunderstood tools in endurance sports. Gaël shares how, even after finishing UTMB four times and racing in deserts, jungles, mountains, and even Iraq during wartime, fear still shows up before and during big efforts. The conversation reframes fear not as something to suppress, but as information that can sharpen decision-making, expose your true "why," and help you respect the environment you're moving through. We also talk about the thin line between fear that freezes you and fear that helps you function, especially in long mountain races where fatigue, darkness, cutoffs, hallucinations, and self-doubt all start stirring the pot. One of the most useful takeaways for trail runners is that mental preparation deserves the same attention as physical training, because knowing yourself may be just as important as knowing your pace, gear, or nutrition plan.

Scott opens the conversation by asking whether fear on the trail is something to overcome or something that may actually guide us. 02:40 | Why Gaël Wrote About Fear Gaël explains how decades of running in mountains, deserts, jungles, and difficult environments shaped his view that fear is a deep part of the sport. 05:15 | Why Experience Doesn't Eliminate Fear Even after multiple UTMB finishes and other major races, Gaël shares why fear still shows up and why that may be healthy. 11:30 | Training Fear Before Race Day The discussion turns to how runners can practice facing fear in training, whether that means darkness, distance, terrain, isolation, or uncertainty. 21:20 | Fear as a Decision-Making Tool: How fear can sharpen awareness and help runners make better choices instead of simply pushing blindly forward. 27:15 | Mental Health as Performance Training Gaël makes the case that talking to a sports psychologist or therapist is not weakness, but another form of training for hard things. 44:20 | Fear, DNFs, and Knowing Your Why The group talks about how fear of failure, social pressure, and shallow motivation can unravel a race when things get hard.

Full Show Notes: https://bengreenfieldlife.com/sisson2026 In this episode with Mark Sisson, you'll discover why VO2 Max may be overrated as the gold standard for longevity, and why chasing it cost Mark 32 pounds of muscle and the real-world function that actually matters. You'll explore his "Old Man Olympics" framework: a decathlete's approach to fitness at 72, spanning strength, speed, balance, and endurance. You'll also get his take on cold plunging, alcohol, biohacking, AI, and find out why foot health may be the single most overlooked lever in your longevity toolkit, from bunions to glute activation to big toe function. Mark Sisson ignited the ancestral health movement with Mark's Daily Apple and The Primal Blueprint, popularized keto and intermittent fasting with The Keto Reset Diet and Two Meals a Day, and sold Primal Kitchen to Kraft Heinz for $200M. He now runs Peluva, a toe-separated shoe company built around restoring foot strength and healthy gait, and is the author of Born to Walk.

What if there was a clinically proven approach that could improve cancer survivability, support remission, and help protect healthy cells during treatment—yet most people have never heard about it? In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Valter Longo, one of the world's leading researchers in longevity and cancer science, to uncover the groundbreaking research behind fasting and fasting mimicking diets.

In the episode, we're going to dive deep into how strategic nutrition can influence cellular repair, metabolic health, inflammation, and even cancer outcomes. You're also going to discover how fasting impacts cancer cells differently than healthy cells, why metabolic flexibility matters for longevity, and how modern lifestyles are accelerating chronic disease.
