In this raw, revelatory episode, Kristin sits down with Army veteran and founder of Grey Team, Cary Reichbach, to expose the silent crisis affecting our nation's heroes—veteran suicide. The numbers are staggering—up to 44 veterans a day take their own lives. But behind the statistics are stories of suffering, silence, and survival. Cary shares his powerful journey from soldier to healer and how his pioneering wellness facility is transforming the lives of those who return from war only to face a different kind of battle at home. Through cutting-edge biohacking technologies, holistic healing, and deep community, Grey Team is a sanctuary of purpose, recovery, and reconnection. Cary and his team haven’t lost a single veteran to suicide since their doors opened—an extraordinary testament to the power of proactive care, not reactive treatment. This episode is a call to awareness, action, and compassion. Whether you’ve worn the uniform or not, this conversation will shift your perspective on mental health, resilience, and how we care for those who’ve sacrificed everything. Prepare to be moved, inspired, and ignited. If you’re looking for the insight and motivation to live a healthy, happy life, this episode is for you.
