In this episode, Dr. James Thompson, MD — a board-certified allergist, immunologist, author, and health educator — shares how a 21-day Daniel Fast sparked a life-changing shift toward plant-forward living. After 34 years in medicine, he realized that despite following what he believed was a “healthy” diet, he still required multiple long-term medications for blood pressure, cholesterol, and chronic inflammation. A plant-based lifestyle helped him eliminate medications, improve sleep and joint pain, and even restore vision.

Today, Dr. Thompson leads the Healthy Living With a Vision Foundation, delivering accessible nutrition and lifestyle medicine education to underserved communities. His FEARLESS Method (Food, Exercise, Avoid Toxins, Restorative Sleep, Less Stress, Engage Mind, Social Energy, Spirituality) is a practical roadmap for chronic disease prevention and sustainable health.

What You’ll Learn

• How to start a plant-forward lifestyle without going “all or nothing”

At just 16, Os Aponte was running a martial arts school in Puerto Rico with over a hundred students. Today, he’s a U.S. Army veteran, author, and strength coach known for blending martial arts discipline, neuroscience, and movement mastery into a philosophy of lifelong fitness.

In this conversation, Os shares how leading soldiers in the Army shaped his approach to strength, why “less is more” in training, and how neural efficiency—not just muscle size—creates real, lasting power. You’ll also hear how kettlebells, gait mechanics, and breathwork can rewire your body for performance at any age.

Whether you’re a coach, athlete, or weekend mover, Os’s story will challenge how you think about fitness and inspire you to see training as a lifelong pursuit of self-mastery.

We discuss:

• How Os became a martial arts instructor at 16

• What the military taught him about leadership and physical mastery

• The difference between strength, conditioning, and fitness

• Why neurological training beats burnout

• The power of the Turkish get-up and “leaving one in the tank”

Why do we eat when we’re not hungry—especially at night? Willpower isn’t the answer. In this episode, clinical psychologist Dr. Helen McCarthy reveals the Appetite Pendulum—a powerful framework that helps you understand hunger, fullness, and emotional eating without shame.

We dig into why evenings are the danger zone, how to tell the difference between hunger and emotion in your body, and how a 10-second Pause Technique can change your relationship with food starting tonight. You’ll also learn the four biggest saboteurs of healthy eating, why GLP-1 medications like Ozempic help some people but aren’t the full solution, and the one small habit change that makes the biggest difference.

If you’ve ever struggled with “food noise,” night-time grazing, or the cycle of willpower and regret, this conversation will give you practical, evidence-based tools you can use immediately.

About Dr. McCarthy:

Dr Helen McCarthy is a Clinical Psychologist, and is the "Appetite Doctor". She developed Appetite Retraining to help people lose weight by re-learning to eat in tune with their body's natural hunger and fullness signals.

Helen is an Associate Fellow of the British Psychological Society who has worked as a Clinical Psychologist since 1989. She has a B.Sc. Honours degree in Experimental Psychology from the University of Durham and a Doctorate in Psychology from the University of Oxford.

After leaving Oxford Helen trained as a Clinical Psychologist within the British National Health Service and worked as a Clinical Psychologist in the NHS and then in private practice.

She was a Visiting Research Fellow at the University of Bristol and served as a Faculty Member for the UK Royal College of General Practitioners Leadership in Obesity Programme. She has also served as a member of the Advisory Panel for the UK and International Health Coaches Association.

Helen has appeared on ITV and Channel 4 TV channels on programmes dealing with the psychology of weight loss.

She says, "What I love most of all, is putting psychology into practice to help people overcome what’s troubling them in their relationship with food".

“There is always a reason for illness. You may not have all your answers today, but that doesn’t mean answers don’t exist. Never give up.” – Dr. Diana Driscoll

In this episode, Dr. Diana Driscoll — optometrist, researcher, patient, and founder of POTS Care — takes us inside her groundbreaking journey to uncover the hidden mechanisms of Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS).

After years of worsening illness and dismissal by the medical system, Dr. Driscoll combined her medical expertise with relentless patient-driven research. What emerged is now known as the Driscoll Theory, a framework that explores:

• What drives POTS: high intracranial pressure, vagus nerve dysfunction, neurotransmitter disruption, and systemic vascular irregularities.

• How to intervene: restoring vagus nerve function, reducing inflammation, supporting acetylcholine activity, and managing oxidative stress.

• Practical tools: supplements like ParaSym Plus and NAC Max, targeted use of histamine blockers, and non-invasive approaches to improving quality of life.

• Emotional resilience: how she navigated years of invalidation, supported her sick child, and created POTS Rebels, a community for patients seeking hope and science-backed solutions.

This conversation is both deeply personal and highly practical, offering clarity for patients, practitioners, and caregivers searching for answers.

Are you running on autopilot… or carrying silent trauma?

Trauma isn’t always dramatic. Sometimes it hides in plain sight...numbness, autopilot living, or the body’s quiet tension. Psychologist and somatic trauma specialist Dr. Shahrzad Jalali calls this silent trauma—the unrecognized emotional wounds that high achievers carry into their careers, relationships, and even their gut health.

In this powerful conversation, Dr. Jalali shares:

• How to spot the difference between everyday stress and unconscious scripts steering your life

• The body’s biggest “holding zones” for trauma such as the gut, jaw, shoulders, and pelvis

• A 90-second nightly practice to reclaim emotional autonomy

• Why your fights aren’t about “the dishes” but about childhood wounds replaying in real time

• How to honor your family while still choosing yourself

Dr. Jalali’s upcoming book, The Fire That Makes Us, blends her personal story of loss with decades of clinical work to show how fire can both burn and forge resilience.

✨ Take a deep breath, press play, and discover how to stop outsourcing your worth—and finally belong to yourself.
