The Wellness Mama Podcast

Buckle your seatbelts… we’re going there! Today we talk in-depth about genetically modified organisms, better known as GMOs. This is not exactly my field of study and certainly a very controversial issue, so I’ve asked Jeffrey Smith, man behind the compelling new documentary Secret Ingredients, to shed some light on the topic for us. For more …

All of my years of health research have led me to one conclusion: there’s no one-size-fits-all prescription for good health. Each of us needs a personalized approach when it comes diet and the vitamins and minerals we need. The trouble is, how do we figure this out so we can act on it? Today I’m …

I’ve wanted to interview Dr. Valter Longo for years, and today I finally get to! In this episode, we explore all things fasting — one of my favorite health topics — and especially the fasting mimicking diet, a precise system of fasting that he invented. In fact, his diet was granted one of the only …

Today’s episode is a little different than normal as I’m here with Lauryn and Michael of The Skinny Confidential to talk business, entrepreneurship and navigating the dynamic of working together as a couple. Lauryn Evarts is a well-known lifestyle and beauty blogger at The Skinny Confidential and her husband Michael Bosstick is a serial entrepreneur and founder of the podcast network Dear Media.I met them in Finland with Four Sigmatic and wanted to have them on to talk business since I get a surprising amount of questions about that side of things and rarely talk about it. They also interviewed me on their podcast (see resources below) where I share about my own business strategies and some parts of my journey you may not have heard before.As I said, I know this is a departure from our normal health topics, but if you’re interested in the business side at all, I think you’ll enjoy this episode.Episode Highlights with the Skinny ConfidentialA recap of all of our lessons from FinlandWhat we all thought of the sauna/cold plunge situation thereThe benefit of pushing out of your comfort zone regularlyWhat our gratitude alarm is and why it started after FinlandHow The Skinny Confidential started and grew to a massive podcast and platformThe ways Lauryn and Michael navigate working together as a coupleHow they’ve grown multiple businessesLessons learned from real estate (and real estate failures)How they met when they were 12 and how long it took for them to eventually start datingThe powerful benefit of practice that they use in many aspects of lifeHow to handle the negative aspects of social media we all encounterWays to create community in daily lifeLauryn’s quote (that I’ve adopted): “What you think about me is none of my business”All of our morning routinesResources We MentionThe Skinny Confidential blogSkinny Confidential: Him and Her PodcastFour Sigmatic (use code WELLNESSMAMA to save 15%)Hydroflask water bottleSilk pillowcaseDry brush100% Copper Tongue ScraperBooks We Recommend

With advances in brain mapping and neurofeedback, there’s so much to learn about the brain. I feel like I’ve barely touched the tip of the iceberg on this topic, so I’ve invited Dr. Andrew Hill here today. He is one of the top brain performance coaches in the country and holds a PhD in cognitive …

I think today’s topic is a fun one and an unexpected twist on physical fitness and well-being. This episode is going to be all about foam rolling and why it should be part of our daily self-care. I’m here with Addie Conner, the co-founder of a company called 42 Birds. Rather than foam, her company …

You’ve probably heard of Poo~Pourri, a spray that traps unpleasant bathroom odors with natural oils (moms/wives everywhere owe her a debt of gratitude for it!). While you may not have heard though of Suzy Batiz, the amazing woman behind the product has an equally inspiring story.Since Suzy built an empire on the unlikely platform of bathroom stink, it shouldn’t come as a surprise that she’s known for her willingness to tackle taboo topics and challenge societal norms. She had to overcome huge challenges and multiple “failures” to reach success. In the end, Suzy credits her mindset and willingness to follow an “alive idea” as the reason she was able to create a company worth $500 million without borrowing a cent or enlisting a single investor.Episode Highlights With Suzy Batiz of Poo~PourriSuzy’s incredible story of overcoming childhood trauma and later business failure, bankruptcy, and personal breakdownHow Suzy turned everything around and went on to found a $500 million debt-free enterpriseThe four signs of resonance and how to recognize an “alive idea”How the idea for Poo~Pourri came aboutThe unique contributions women entrepreneurs have to offerWhat to do if you don’t like where you are in lifeAnd more!Episode QuotablesYou never change things by fighting against the existing reality.
