What if the worst moment of your life played back to you on global TV—and it became the exact catalyst you needed to change? That’s the turning point Ashton shares with us, tracing his jump from a Johannesburg cubicle to Below Deck’s spotlight, the night that spiraled in a van, and the sober rebuild that followed. Join us for a clear-eyed look at how alcohol masks deeper problems, why logic can break its spell, and how presence, purpose, and real connection return when the noise drops.
We get specific about the work. Ashton explains how he paired mindset with physiology to heal faster: advanced blood work, gut testing, and genetics to target the right nutrition, training, and supplements. He opens up about discovering stress vulnerabilities in his genes, the active B vitamins that lifted a “depression” misdiagnosis, and the post-alcohol blood sugar swings that fuel sugar cravings. When chemistry aligns, identity shifts stick. The result isn’t stricter, it’s smarter—less punishment, more precision, and a life that no longer needs anesthesia.
We also dive into a vital segment of our audience: women 45-plus navigating perimenopause and menopause. Ashton shares why generic lab ranges miss dysfunction, how HRT needs careful retesting, and why too many are told they’re “fine” when they know they’re not. This is a conversation about agency, empathy, and data—about taking ownership of your health and building a life that feels good without the crutch of alcohol.
