Robb Wolf is a legend in my book. We met at PaleoFX years ago, and we have stayed in touch. At that first meeting, I was a medical student increasingly disillusioned by the lack of nutritional or lifestyle medicine that I was being taught through my $400k education at Temple University (Go Owls?). That's when I found Robb's first book "The Paleo Solution", and his research and gift with words has lived in perpetuity in my own life and the care I bring to my patients and clients. His new book "Sacred Cow: The Case for (Better) Meat: Why Well-Raised Meat Is Good for You and Good for the Planet" is co-authored with another thoughtful food scientist, Diana Rodgers, RD. Robb continues to advocate for food system reform along with personal sovereignty. It was a huge pleasure to have one of my heroes on my podcast. Enjoy!

Women's healthcare is a mess because conventional OBGYNs only know how to use pharmaceuticals, hormonal contraception, and surgery to help their patients. On the contrary, Nathan Riley, MD, FACOG, a truly holistic OBGYN, starts with diet, hydration, sleep, movement, mindset, breath, "biohacking", soil, regenerative agriculture, biodynamics, cold immersion, sauna therapy, fertility awareness, pelvic steaming, meditation, Tai chi, and more. Each episode brings you one step closer to fixing the world, and this starts with how we care for women and birth.

Lynn Schulte is a Pelvic Health Physical Therapist for over 30 years and she is the principal instructor at the Institute for Birth Healing. She has been helping moms heal from all the issues women experience after birth and is now teaching courses to bodyworkers to help them do the same. She found a common birth pattern that shows up in the pelvis after birth and knows how to effectively release these patterns. Knowing we are more than just our bodies, Lynn works on all levels, physically, energetically, and spiritually with women to help them access their full potential. She also teaches bodyworkers how to work with the energy of the body and how to access and use your intuition in your bodywork sessions. She offers a certification process to help birth professionals become Birth Healing Practitioners. Lynn holds a Bachelor of Science in Physical Therapy from St. Louis University.

Yury is a certified Yoga teacher and a Holistic Coach with the CHEK institute. On his way to Poland to study with Wim Hoff in January of 2020, his journey of self-healing journey. Throughout the retreat he was in pain, but the experience of overcoming it was a cosmic gift. After returning from Poland, he healed himself using breathwork, visualization techniques, meditation, and restorative exercises. Throughout his life he has experimented with natural healing methods. Many years of plant medicine work helped him work through his fears, anxieties, and old belief systems that were limiting him in ways he would only realize much later. The biggest challenge for Yury was becoming free of religious beliefs, ideologies and social dogmas. It took many years of deep spiritual work and facing his fears to emerge free of all of that. He recognizes all human beings as unique expressions of themselves.
