In this episode, Nichole sits down with Dr. Robert Yu, a holistic-minded periodontist based in St. Petersburg, Florida, to explore how pregnancy, postpartum, and the seasons of motherhood can impact your teeth, gums, and overall oral health.Dr. Yu was the surgeon behind Nichole's year-long dental healing journey — removing old root canals, clearing infections, rebuilding bone with grafts and a sinus lift, and placing a ceramic dental implant. Together, they dive into the often-overlooked connection between motherhood, hormones, nutrient depletion, bone health, and gum disease — and what every woman should know about supporting her mouth and body through each stage of life.This conversation bridges holistic dentistry and conventional periodontal care, offering education, empowerment, and real-life insight for women who want to approach dental health from a whole-body perspective.What You'll Learn in This EpisodeHow pregnancy and postpartum nutrient depletion affect bone and gum healthThe link between periodontal disease and pregnancy outcomes like preterm or low-birth-weight babiesWhy many OB-GYNs and midwives don't emphasize gum exams — and why they shouldThe difference between traditional titanium implants and metal-free ceramic (zirconia) implantsThe mouth–body connection: how oral bacteria can influence heart health, inflammation, and systemic diseaseDr. Yu's preferred vitamin and mineral support for jawbone healing (vitamin D, calcium, potassium, and Metagenics Bone BuilderWhy informed consent matters in dentistry — and how to advocate for yourself as a patientThe truth about bone graft materials (human, animal, and synthetic) and how to make an informed choiceDr. Yu's thoughts on light therapy, microcirculation, and energy-based healing for post-surgical recoveryThe power of collaboration between dentists, functional medicine doctors, and holistic providersPregnancy and breastfeeding can deplete minerals and weaken bone structure, including the jawbone.Healthy gums support a healthy pregnancy — untreated gum disease has been linked to preterm birth.A gum exam (periodontal exam) is just as important as a dental cleaning for expecting or new moms.Bone and gum health are influenced by vitamin D, calcium, and hormonal shifts.Holistic dentistry bridges prevention and science, empowering women to make choices that align with both intuition and evidence.

In this episode I sit down with my former client Carrie whose story embodies what it means to hold onto hope even when life takes an unexpected turn.After six IUIs and one egg retrieval, Carrie was preparing for an embryo transfer when she received a life-changing diagnosis: breast cancer. Her fertility journey came to a sudden halt as she began two years of cancer treatments and surgeries, including 16 rounds of chemotherapy. Through it all, she held tightly to her dream of becoming a mom and seeing her husband become a dad.Once her treatments were complete, Carrie sought a new, more soulful path forward—working with Lisa as her fertility coach and connecting with a hypnotherapist I recommended for additional support. Together, they helped her process the heavy emotions, expand her circle of support, and find gratitude even in the hardest moments.Carrie's journey reminds us that hope and healing can coexist, and that opening your heart to new forms of support can create space for miracles. After another egg retrieval, she received one precious embryo — the embryo that became her daughter, Ella now 20 months old.This conversation is for anyone walking through fertility challenges, IVF, or life detours that test your strength. Carrie's story is proof that even when the path feels uncertain, your miracle may already be on its way.In this episode you'll hear:Carrie's honest and emotional journey through IUIs, IVF, and a cancer diagnosisHow she stayed hopeful during two years of treatment and recoveryThe power of mindset, gratitude, and community supportHow coaching and hypnotherapy helped her reconnect with peace and possibilityThe miracle of her one healthy embryo and the arrival of her daughter, EllaCarrie's message of hope for women still waiting for their own miracleI'm so grateful to Carrie for opening up and sharing her personal journey with you.

One in three adults now has fatty liver disease, and most don't even know it. It's become the most common form of liver dysfunction worldwide—even outpacing alcohol-related liver damage. And the real danger? It often progresses in silence, from fat to inflammation to fibrosis, with no symptoms until it's too late.In this episode of ReInvent Healthcare, Dr. Ritamarie exposes a quiet transformation that's becoming alarmingly common: the metabolic cascade behind fatty liver. It doesn't start with pain or obvious signs. It starts with subtle shifts in biochemistry that most protocols completely miss.Before the liver scars, there are clues. And if you know where to look, you can help reverse the damage long before it becomes permanent.What's Inside This Episode? Why liver damage is now driven more by food than by alcoholThe signals that mark the shift from fat accumulation to fibrosisWhat “normal” AST and ALT might be hiding, and how to interpret themA critical lab ratio that reveals what single values can'tEarly metabolic signs that point to liver inflammation before imaging shows a thingTherapeutic strategies to restore liver function, starting with the kitchenHow trauma and oxytocin tie into liver recoveryThe botanical allies that protect and regenerate hepatic tissueResources and Links:Download our FREE Metabolic Health Guide here.

In this profoundly moving episode of Metabolic Matters, Dr. Nasha Winters sits down with Dr. Christina Bjorndal, ND — a naturopathic doctor, best-selling author, and survivor of some of life's deepest challenges, including bipolar disorder type 1, psychosis, multiple suicide attempts, and cancer. Through her lived experience and decades of clinical work, Dr. Chris has become a guiding light in integrative mental health, showing that true healing is possible when we embrace every part of ourselves — body, mind, and spirit.Drawing from her book Beyond the Label and her decades of clinical practice, Dr. Chris reveals how she rebuilt her own “health house” from the ground up, weaving together physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual healing. Her story is one of resilience, radical self-compassion, and courage — a reminder that we are never too broken to heal.Together, Dr. Nasha and Dr. Chris explore:The truth behind mental health “labels” — and why they don't define who you areHow trauma, love, and self-acceptance shape the path to recoveryThe four pillars of whole-person health and how to strengthen your “health house”The role of surrender, intuition, and spirituality in the healing processHow to move from self-criticism to self-compassion and reclaim your vitalityConnect with Dr. Bjorndal: Website: drchristinabjorndal.comFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/drchrisbjorndal Twitter:@drbjorndalYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCNd12OYfBy6KNfnm_Eih31QInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/drchrisbjorndal/About Your HostI'm Dr. Nasha Winters, a global healthcare authority, best-selling author, and educator in the emerging field of integrative oncology and terrain-based cancer care.

In this deeply personal and insight-packed solo episode, Kristen shares a powerful reflection on what she calls “dumpster decisions”—those all-or-nothing moves we make when we're on the brink of burnout or buried in overwhelm. Drawing from her own journey of business pivots, personal healing, and rediscovery, Kristen opens up about how she threw away more than she needed to, only to later return and reclaim what still sparked joy.She walks listeners through the difference between rage cleaning your life and intentionally evaluating what still serves your evolving self. Along the way, she delivers relatable stories, thoughtful metaphors (hello, Marie Kondo and Harry Potter's phoenix!), and a massive announcement that longtime listeners will love.Spoiler alert: She's officially back in the weekly coaching chair—and you're invited.What You'll Hear in This Episode:What “dumpster decisions” are and why we make them during burnoutHow Kristen's business and personal life were shaped by burnout recoveryThe importance of honoring your evolution without shameHow your nervous system holds the key to better habits, performance, and joyThe birth of Sondera, Kristen's newest company helping people regulate, realign, and riseA sneak peek into the tools, coaching, and transformation waiting inside her new membershipThe full-circle moment: Kristen's return to live weekly coaching (and how you can join!)Key Takeaways:Burnout doesn't always mean burning everything down.Regulating your nervous system is the missing link between knowing what to do and actually doing it.Sometimes, the things you walked away from still belong with you—you just needed space to see it.Sustainable success is rooted in self-awareness, alignment, and nervous system integration.Special Announcement

She is passionate about helping young girls and women overcome an unhealthy relationship with food after spending years of her own life stuck in the mental prison that is disordered eating. Her education in the field began in her undergraduate years at Vanderbilt University, where she studied eating psychology and nutrition. During that time, she was also certified in the National Eating Disorder Awareness foundation's Body Project certification program to support women's relationships with their bodies.Her interests progressed into physique and performance evidence-based training and nutrition while maintaining a positive relationship with food and one's body (certifications through NASM). Her coaching centers on getting women out of the rut of under-fueling and over-training, out of the yo-yo cycle, and out of the mystery of how to fuel one's body (blocking out all the noise out there!) while building a positive outlook towards nutrition.Sophie also supports her clients who are interested in gut and hormone health. Her interest in this field started from her own experience with IBS, acne, and painful/irregular periods that she wanted to support holistically. Her approach to hormonal support and gut health focuses heavily on evidence-based lifestyle and nutrition approaches rather than excessive supplementation and overly restrictive methods. Some conditions Sophie works with include: IBS, IBD, bloating/indigestion, dysmenorrhea, PCOS, PMS, low thyroid, and chronic stress/fatigue. Please note, Sophie is not a medical professional and provides holistic support for these conditions within her scope of practice; please consult a medical professional for these conditions first.Outside of coaching, Sophie is an animal-lover and enjoys spending her free time riding her horse and hiking with her pup. She has traveled and lived abroad extensively and loves getting to enjoy cuisines from all over the world. She loves spending time getting stronger in the gym, giving it her all at trivia nights, and exploring her home base in Nashville.  See links below to follow Sophie and learn more about working with her:https://biolayne.com/coach/sophie-gervais/IG @asophiesticatedlife___Disclaimer: The content of this podcast is not intended to be a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.

This week on The Zac Clark Show, we sit down with Scott Strode — founder of The Phoenix, a free national sober active community that's approaching one million members and nearly 90,000 events strong. But behind those staggering numbers is a deeply personal story.Scott opens up about the childhood trauma that led him to substance use at age 11, the fractured worlds he navigated between his father's instability and his mother's high-powered career, and the early moments of sobriety that ultimately changed his life — not in a treatment center, but in a boxing gym.What started as one man waiting outside the gym looking for a way to stay sober has become one of the most impactful movements in recovery today. Through rock climbing, cycling, CrossFit, yoga, art, and even sober music festivals, The Phoenix offers people 48 hours sober a place to show up, be seen, and belong — no shame, no cost, no strings attached.Scott shares why inclusivity and accessibility are at the heart of The Phoenix's ethos, how volunteering became the rocket fuel behind its growth, and why healing doesn't have to look like sitting in a circle — sometimes it looks like 150 kettlebell swings and a high five.We also explore:Generational trauma and how to break the cycleThe launch of The Phoenix's free New Form app and its vision to redefine digital recoveryThe nonprofit's challenges with funding innovation in behavioral healthAnd Scott's new book, Rise, Recover, Thrive: How I Got Strong, Got Sober, and Built a Movement of Hope — a raw and inspiring look at the personal journey that sparked a national revolution in recoveryThe word “community” has become a cultural buzzword — but at its core, it reflects the shared connection humans deeply need and seek. What truly defines community, and why does it matter so much — especially in recovery? Scott Strode has spent his life answering that question, building a movement rooted in belonging, empathy, and hope. What he has to say is illuminating, insightful — and profoundly simple.Learn more at thephoenix.org, check out Rise, Recover, Thrive wherever books are sold, or download the New Form app to get involved.For information about Scott's new book: https://www.amazon.com/Rise-Recover-Thrive-Strong-Movement/dp/B0DGV641P1Connect with Zachttps://www.instagram.com/zwclark/https://www.linkedin.com/in/zac-c-746b96254/https://www.tiktok.com/@zacwclarkhttps://www.strava.com/athletes/55697553https://twitter.com/zacwclarkIf you or anyone you know is struggling, please do not hesitate to contact Release:(914) 588-6564releaserecovery.com@releaserecovery

Addiction is not a new problem in the workplace. In fact, about 70% of folks that are using illicit drugs are employed in the workplace, either full-time or part-time. However, this is not a comfortable topic for people to talk about obviously due to the stigma around it.
