Skin to Soul: Redefining Health and Healing Through Fascia

What if the true key to vitality, healing, and resilience isn’t in your muscles or bones—but in the hidden network of connective tissue that holds everything together?

In this transformative episode of Beyond the Pills, we sit down with Anna Rahe, founder of GST Body, fascia-focused wellness innovator, and upcoming author of Skin to Soul. With over 25 years of experience and 10,000+ hours dedicated to studying the body’s connective tissue system, Anna has redefined how we approach healing and human potential.

Anna shares the groundbreaking discovery that fascia—the body’s dynamic, fluid network—is far more than “connective tissue.” It’s the missing link between our physical structure, emotional patterns, and long-term health outcomes. Traditional fitness often focuses on tightening and toning, but Anna’s proprietary GST system promotes fluid, dynamic movement, cellular reprogramming, and holistic vitality.

We explore Anna’s personal journey—how debilitating health issues at just 18 led her to reject conventional medical answers and pioneer a new path to self-healing. From founding GST Body to preparing for the release of her first book and launching the Vital Life Studio, Anna’s mission is clear: to empower people to move better, heal deeper, and live longer.

Plus, Anna gives listeners a sneak peek into her annual GST retreat in Estes Park, Colorado, a transformative event that combines somatic therapy, fascia healing, and holistic body care in one breathtaking setting.

Whether you're struggling with chronic pain, seeking peak performance, or looking to truly thrive as you age, this episode will completely change the way you view your body—and your potential.

Is It Time to Redefine Sexual Health? A Disruptive Conversation with Elliot Justin, MD



What if we told you that your sexual health is one of the most accurate indicators of your overall health—and that a wearable device might detect early signs of heart disease before your doctor does?

In this powerful episode of Beyond The Pills, we sit down with Dr. Justin, a pioneering physician, entrepreneur, and founder of FirmTech, a company on a mission to transform sexual wellness through science-backed technology. With over 25 years in emergency medicine, Dr. Justin has seen firsthand how overlooked signs in the bedroom can signal deeper issues in the body.

• Erectile dysfunction (ED) affects over 30 million men in the U.S. alone.
• Men with ED are up to 50% more likely to develop heart disease.
• ED often appears 3–5 years before more serious cardiovascular issues emerge.
• According to the Cleveland Clinic, 1 in 2 men over 40 has some form of ED—yet many go untreated.
• Studies now show a direct link between sexual performance and metabolic health, making ED a window into future diabetes risk.

🔍 Inside the Episode:

• What “erectile fitness” actually means—and why it matters far more than you think
• The truth about cock rings (and the problem FirmTech’s patented TechRing solves)
• How sexual health tech is advancing for women, including FirmTech’s new clitoral health monitor and RingMate vibrator
• Success stories from users who’ve regained confidence, pleasure, and deeper connection in their relationships
• The emotional, relational, and physiological benefits of tracking sexual health—not just for performance, but for prevention

Dr. Justin also breaks down the real story behind ED meds, the pros and cons of each, and why sextech might be a safer, smarter, and more sustainable solution.
