Backed by his experience as a functional health practitioner and a father to a child with autism, Paolo challenges listeners to stop blindly trusting mainstream advice and start asking the critical question: Do I know this? Or do I just believe it?

Expect contrarian takes, candid reflections and practical insights aimed at helping you protect your health- and your family’s future.

Is balance even real? Paolo and Tara dismantle the myth of work-life balance and introduce the idea of work-life harmony - where flow, flexibility and intentionality matter more than perfection.

They break down why "shoulds" are dangerous, how to protect your priorities and how to stop apologizing for working hard when it fuels you.
