Get ready to rethink everything you thought you knew about mental health. Today, licensed neuropsychotherapist and author Britt Frank, LSCSW, SEP joins us again to debunk the myth that mental stability means maintaining a constant calm. Our brains are designed for dynamic flux, and understanding the stories behind our symptoms can lead us to peak human experiences. We also criticize the notion of mental health disorders as mere chemical imbalances and highlight the importance of balancing truth and self-leadership in our wellness journey.

Can a simple protein revolutionize your health as you age? Sean Lake, co-founder of BUBS Naturals, joins us to share his invaluable insights into the transformative power of collagen. Sean explains how incorporating this essential protein into your daily routine can lead to remarkable improvements in hair, skin, nails, and joint health. Through personal anecdotes and scientific evidence, we uncover how small, sustainable habits and key supplementation can significantly enhance your quality of life, especially as our natural collagen production decreases over time.

We also delve into the broader implications of collagen, including its benefits for gut health and recovery from chronic illnesses like osteoarthritis and GERD. Sean's journey from skepticism to a strong advocate for collagen's health benefits offers listeners a relatable and inspiring narrative. Furthermore, we explore the history and mission behind Bubz Naturals, founded in memory of Glenn Doherty, a Navy SEAL who made the ultimate sacrifice in Benghazi. Sean recounts how Glenn's legacy of self-improvement and generosity permeates the brand's ethos and mission.

Finally, we tackle the importance of high-quality collagen sourcing and the rigorous standards that ensure product purity and effectiveness. From the challenges of advocating for veterans' rights to the triumph of securing benefits for fallen heroes, Sean's stories are both heart-wrenching and motivational. We discuss the meticulous process behind creating Bubz Naturals products, emphasizing their commitment to clean, high-integrity ingredients. Join us to learn how embracing adversity and prioritizing self-care can lead to a healthier, more fulfilling life.
