#168 - Better Than Botox? 9 Science-Proven Ways to Slow Aging at the Mitochondrial Cellular Level   If your energy is tanked, your skin looks older, and your brain feels like it's buffering—don't blame age, blame your mitochondria. In fact, mitochondrial dysfunction is one of the 12 Hallmarks of Aging.    In this episode of Pretty Well, I'm breaking down how these tiny powerhouses inside your cells control everything from how you age to how well you think, move, and recover. We'll cover 9 evidence-based ways to protect your mitochondria and even boost mitochondrial biogenesis (fancy for “make more of the good stuff”) so that you can slow and even reverse signs of aging. From red light therapy and fasting options to targeted nutrients and why your mitochondria love colorful veggies more than you do—this is the anti-aging roadmap you actually want to follow. No gimmicks, no $400 serums. Just real tools to feel younger, stronger, and sharper from the inside out. Because aging is inevitable—but doing it tired, inflamed, and foggy is not.

If you want to grow on Instagram or TikTok, your content has to be shareable, and that starts with better storytelling. Today I'm sitting down with Britney Crossan, queen of scroll-stopping, story-first content. Britney grew her following by over 57,000 people in less than a year using the exact storytelling techniques we talk about in this episode.We break down how to structure your short-form videos, what kinds of stories hook people immediately, how to move past perfectionism, and the #1 shift that makes content more likely to be saved and shared.If you've ever felt stuck staring at the “Add Caption” screen or wondering why your video isn't landing, this one's for you.What You'll Learn:[02:23] The surprising way Britney grew her account by over 57K followers in under a year [05:08] Why storytelling is the missing link for most short-form content [06:19] How to come up with story-driven content even if you think your life is boring [08:31] Britney's 3-part storytelling formula that hooks people instantly [10:44] A common myth that's keeping you from sharing personal stories [12:06] The mindset shift that changed how Britney showed up online [14:18] Why your content needs to connect emotionally, not just educate [17:05] Tips for creating consistently, even when you feel like you've “run out” of stories [20:20] The difference between a personal brand and just “being online a lot” [23:34] What Britney does when a post flops [25:57] Why storytelling builds trust faster than educational posts alone [29:14] How to batch storytelling content so it doesn't take over your lifeKey Takeaways:Your content isn't boring, your storytelling just needs structure. Use Britney's 3-part framework to shape your stories: start with the moment of tension, reflect back, and end with a human truth or learning.You don't need a dramatic story to be memorable. The “small” stuff like feeling awkward on a Zoom call or forgetting to hit record can connect deeply when shared authentically.Storytelling content builds emotional connection faster than educational content. People might forget your tips, but they'll remember your stories.The most shareable content is usually the most specific. Don't water down your stories, lean in. The more detailed and emotionally resonant, the more people will share.Batching storytelling content is possible (and freeing).Use prompts, keep a story bank, and repurpose stories across platforms with slight tweaks.Links + Resources Mentioned:Get on the Social Success 2026 waitlistGrab this free download, 7 Values of Social Media for Business OwnersCONNECT WITH YOUR HOST, ELIZABETH MARBERRY:WORK WITH ELIZABETH Apply for your FREE Instagram Breakthrough Session with Elizabeth Free guide to Monetize Your IG: Seven Simple and Proven Ways to Finally Make Money on Instagram Follow Elizabeth Marberry on Instagram, TikTok, Facebook Please be sure to rate, review and follow the show on Apple podcasts (or wherever you find your podcasts) so we can get this free value to other people who need it.

If you're still telling people to “click the link in bio,” it's time to upgrade your Instagram strategy. I'm joined by Heston Roberts, a true wizard when it comes to building DM automations that actually move people from your Instagram content into your email list (and eventually, into paying clients).We go beyond the basics: how DM automation reduces friction, why it can outperform link-in-bio by 60% or more, how to keep things personal and scalable, and what common mistakes to avoid. Plus, Heston shares how to build direct DM-to-email funnels, so your followers never have to leave Instagram.What You'll Learn:[03:22] Why DM automation is a game changer for content that works while you sleep [08:34] The problem with “click the link in bio” (and why it lowers conversions) [13:41] How DM automations help grow your following through better engagement [16:57] Step-by-step: turning DMs into an email funnel without leaving Instagram [21:40] The truth about small accounts: why it still works with low engagement [26:17] Mistakes to avoid: over-general keywords, automations that feel spammy, and more [31:06] Using deep links to drive traffic directly into apps like YouTube [39:45] How to keep it personal (and still scalable) with voice notes and custom automations [45:58] Heston's subscription for creators who want to master ManyChat and chat funnelsKey Takeaways:DM automation reduces friction: instead of making followers stop scrolling, visit your profile, and figure out your links, it meets them right where they already are—your DMs.You can build email funnels inside Instagram: ask followers for their name & email in the DMs, sync to your email platform, and send them your freebie without them leaving the app.ManyChat (our favorite tool) is a Meta business partner, which means it's approved and safe to use directly with Instagram.Even small accounts can see ROI: you don't need thousands of comments—sometimes one new subscriber or client makes the whole system worth it.Use specific keywords like “getpod” or “hotguide” to trigger automations and avoid accidental triggers. And yes, keep it fun, like clickable buttons!Links + Resources Mentioned:Get a FREE MONTH of ManyChat Pro!

(1:04:21) #Quah question #3 – I keep seeing that taking Baking Soda before you work out will give you bigger pumps. Is there any truth to this?

You know those moments in business where things suddenly feel a little too quiet? Maybe the inquiries slow down, sales dip, or your calendar just isn't as packed as usual. It can feel unsettling, especially when you're not sure why it's happening or how long it's going to last.  The truth is, EVERY entrepreneur hits those slower seasons. In my business, summer tends to be our slow season. Depending on what you do, it may be around the holidays, or in the Fall. Having busy and slow seasons is a natural part of running a business. The most important thing is for us to make the most out of these ebbs and flows to prepare for when things pick back up again. That's why today I'm bringing back a conversation that originally aired a few years ago about four strategies I lean on when things slow down in my own business. They're timeless, practical, and focused on helping you use these quieter times to your advantage! So whether you're currently feeling the weight of a slower season or just want to be prepared for the next one, this episode is packed with four simple yet effective ways to reignite momentum and boost your sales.
