It's a very particular type of yogurt, replete in scientifically proven strains of probiotics that you can whip up right at home.

How can we reduce our exposure to toxins without driving ourselves absolutely out of our minds?

Our workplaces, homes and foods are contaminated with a mind-numbing mix of chemical toxins. And by default, there's a shocking lack of information available about what exactly is contained in the products we buy.

But instead of aiming for super sanitized perfection—which is totally impossible—it's better to learn how to reduce our toxic load by ridding our pantries and homes of the worst offenders.

And I'm pleased to say that joining us today is our friend, Gin Stephens, a New York Times and USA Today bestselling author of multiple books. Gin is also a retired teacher, wife, mother, and host of multiple top-ranked podcasts. Gin's intermittent fasting lifestyle shift back in 2014, led to her shedding over 80 pounds and then going on a success rampage with all that extra energy, so you're going to dig this one.

On this very special show with Gin Stephens, we're chatting about:

• How to reduce your toxic load without driving yourself bananas • What to do about food contact chemicals and cosmetics in particular • Why the precautionary principle actually matters in science • How and why intermittent fasting works so well • How to get family on board • And much more…

How do our finances affect our physical and mental health?

Anyone who's ever been in debt knows the toll it takes on our sleep, level of stress and quality of life.

And according to a recent report from CNBC, the average American is nearly $100,000 in debt right now.

So how can we get back above water?

If you're $100,000 in debt, that number is so high that it can be difficult to kind of chop down and make it achievable to pay it off. But if you're willing to really plan out your finances, change your mindset about how cash flow and investments look and work in your own life, then you can actually make some progress.

No matter where you are with your finances right now, there's a way to make it better.

And I’m pleased to say that joining us today is Lisa Easton, an entrepreneur, educator, and mother of 4. After 15+ years of working with multi-billionaires and managing projects for some of the most influential people in the world, Lisa started Millionaire Morning Mamas and 100K Activation Accelerator to teach people how to build a powerful morning routine and reprogram their subconscious mind to attract life changing abundance and master their financial outcomes.

I hope you enjoy this show. We're chatting about…

• How finances, and debt in particular, affect our health
• The non-negotiable daily habits of multi-billionaires
• How to pay off old debt and get off the hamster wheel
• Benefits of setting and celebrating milestones
• Attracting abundance by working on your mindset
• Tips on reprogramming your subconscious
• And even some bonus singing tips, and much, much more…

How can we build resilience in a pressure cooker society?

And equally important, when we're faced with disaster and uncertainty, how can we be better prepared for what's coming next?

Even in the best of circumstances, the curveballs in life catch up with you.

In my own personal case, some of you may remember that I lost everything in an apartment fire a little more than a decade ago, and then more recently fought back from almost dying from carbon monoxide poisoning. And I can tell you from experience that the way you get through this tough stuff in life is by focusing on your internal world, focusing on your small daily habits that add up to health and vitality and well-being over time.

That's the only way I’ve got through this stuff, and I know a lot of you out there have done the same. So today we're going to be focusing on those little non-negotiable habits that you can set up to make sure that you're improving no matter the state of the world around you, which is debatable right now.

So I'm happy to say that joining me on the show today is Dr. Tara Scott, a functional and integrative medicine doctor and hormone specialist with over 25 years of experience and 3 board certifications in OB/GYN.

After suffering from infertility and curing her own endometriosis, Dr. Scott now helps others achieve that same balance.

Onto the show. I hope you enjoy. We’re talking about…

• How to build resilience in a pressure cooker society • Tips on identifying and addressing underlying hormone imbalances and fertility issues • How health and eating choices are actually survival strategies • Fueling for long runs, and why Dr. Scott is running a half marathon in every state • The importance of non-negotiable daily habits • And tons more...

How can we separate truth from propaganda?

It surprises many to learn that in the United States, propaganda is perfectly legal.

It's not so subtle though if you look closely, and the endless drum beat of talking heads repeating the same sound bites over and over doesn't inform us or get us any closer to the truth.

Simply doing what we're told won't lead to long-term health or well-being—just look at the food pyramid—we have to take on that responsibility ourselves.

That's why it's more important than ever to do your homework and think for yourself, especially when your health is concerned.

And I realize that thinking for yourself has become very controversial as of late, but it certainly shouldn't be.

In a time when we’re swamped with shameless corporate propaganda, I'm honored to be here with an incredible woman who takes journalistic integrity seriously.

Joining us on the show is our friend La'Tasha Givens, a multiple Emmy Award-winning reporter, anchor and radio show host who has more than a decade of experience in news.

You may also remember La’Tasha from back in 2016 when we starred together on that ABC TV show, My Diet Is Better Than Yours. While filming for the show, La'Tasha dropped an impressive 45 pounds and 18.5% of her total body weight in just 14 weeks.

You're going to dig this one, we're talking about...

• What it's like to drop 45 pounds on ABC television in front of the whole world
• Getting results with different approaches to fat loss—there are different ways of getting there
• Why the past few years have been really tough on journalists
• Tips on time management from a busy mom and a reporter
• All-time favorite cheeses
• And much more...

What's with all the protein shaming lately?

When a staggering 75% to 80% of us are overweight and facing metabolic dysfunction, is eating less meat on Mondays really going to save us?

If you really want to know who is responsible for the destruction of our environment and our collective health, I'm happy to say it's definitely not our cow friends peacefully burping on pasture.

Eliminating a high-quality protein source like meat often backfires as meat substitutes and other processed vegan and vegetarian foods pollute our bodies and the planet with petrochemicals and low quality carbs shipped back and forth across the world.

So if you're looking to get rid of stubborn fat, like the majority of people, animal protein is often one of the most powerful tools to help you reach and maintain a healthy body composition for a lifetime.

And I'm pleased to say that joining us on the show today is Dr. Gabrielle Lyon, a functional medicine physician, speaker, founder of the Institute of Muscle-Centric Medicine, and creator of the The Lyon Protocol.

Dr. Lyon received her doctorate in osteopathic medicine from the Arizona College of Osteopathic Medicine and is board-certified in family medicine. In her private practice, she leverages evidence-based medicine and cutting-edge science to restore metabolism, balance hormones, and optimize body composition with the end goal of helping others discover lifelong vitality.

I hope you enjoy this one. We're chatting about…

• How much protein we should be eating
• Why focusing on protein first will help make everything easier
• Lifespan versus quality of life
• Time-tested secrets to aging gracefully
• The problems with fake meat
• And tons more...

What's the secret to aging gracefully?

When it comes to training, you don't need to punish yourself to achieve incredible results.

In fact, life-long fitness junkies often see physical movement not as punishment, but as a creative act.

Breaking a sweat sets off a hormonal cascade that increases mental alertness, boosts your energy and leads to long-term gains in quality of life. But none of this matters unless you actually do it. The key is making physical activity fun.

So today, I am honored to be here with the one and only Tony Horton, a world class fitness and lifestyle expert, motivational speaker, bestselling author, and of course, the creator of the P90X fitness series.

If you've struggled to set up an enjoyable and effective workout routine, this show is for you.

Tony is legit hilarious. We had a great time recording this episode, and I hope you enjoy listening. We’re chatting about…

• The secret to aging gracefully
• How to treat exercise as a creative outlet
• Why health is a critical survival skill
• Tips on building your own backyard gym or ninja course
• The importance of consistency and intensity
• The effects of physical fitness on the mind
• And tons more...
