In episode nine we are joined by Braden Brown. He is the Associate Athletic Director, specifically over Mental Health and Performance for Brigham Young University. Braden and host Robbie Harmon dive into the psychology of high performance—how resilience, confidence, and mental preparation shape success. Braden shares personal experiences and science-backed insights about handling setbacks, staying mindful under pressure, and developing routines that sustain long-term growth. Listeners walk away with both inspiration and practical strategies for building mental toughness.

Key Themes & Takeaways

1. Resilience as a Muscle – Failure isn’t final; it’s training for future wins.
2. Confidence Through Action – True confidence comes from preparation and consistent effort, not external validation.
3. Mindfulness in Performance – Staying present reduces anxiety and maximizes focus.
4. Redefining Failure – Viewing mistakes as feedback shifts your mindset from defeat to growth.
5. The Power of Daily Routines – Small, intentional habits compound into mental and emotional strength.
6. Self-Talk & Identity – The way you speak to yourself creates the narrative that drives performance.

7. Sustainable Success – Long-term achievement requires balance, not just constant grind.

In this solo episode of Core Conversations, host Robbie Harmon reflects on seven years of working to help people make meaningful, lasting changes. Drawing on personal stories—including a transformative family trip to Alaska—and professional insights, Robbie explores the "magnetic pull to the middle," or society’s tendency toward mediocrity, and how individuals can rise above it.

He introduces the concept of the time value of change—the idea that making positive changes today compounds into even greater benefits in the future. Robbie emphasizes visioning and self-awareness as the critical first steps toward change, grounding these practices in research and real-world examples. He outlines five principles of effective visualization: narrowing focus, anticipating barriers, conditioning through repetition, visualizing both process and outcomes, and focusing on becoming rather than just achieving.

Through stories about family, personal growth, and the work at Ampelis, Robbie challenges listeners to reject conformity, cultivate meaning (through self, relationships, and spirituality), and embrace their potential. He closes with inspiring quotes from Nelson Mandela and Maya Angelou, reminding listeners that daring to stand out and pursue purpose-driven change can liberate both themselves and others.

In this episode, host Robbie Harmon interviews Christapher Cogswell, a cultural anthropologist, entrepreneur, and author of the forthcoming book EpicGenetics: Unleashing Our Children’s Potential for Health, Intelligence, and Beauty. They explore the link between declining fertility rates, deteriorating children’s health, and modern nutrition, drawing from both historical research and Cogswell’s personal journey.

Key Themes & Takeaways:

Declining Fertility & Children’s Health Crisis

• Birth rates in developed nations are falling below replacement levels.
• Rising rates of chronic illnesses, allergies, mental health challenges, and developmental issues in children.
• This trend may reflect long-term nutritional and environmental degradation rather than just cultural shifts.

Influence of Traditional Diets & Ancestral Wisdom

• Historical research by Dr. Weston A. Price found traditional cultures with unprocessed, nutrient-rich diets enjoyed robust fertility, painless births, and excellent dental and skeletal health.
• Once these cultures adopted processed Western foods, health declined within a single generation.
• Traditional societies prepared for conception years in advance to ensure the health of future generations.

Epigenetics & Preconception Nutrition

• Epigenetics emphasizes how environmental factors—especially nutrition before conception—affect gene expression.
• Both mothers and fathers should improve nutrient density and reduce toxin exposure before conceiving.
• This preparation can influence not only children’s health but potentially the health of grandchildren.

Research & Case Studies

• Dr. Francis Pottenger’s cat studies demonstrated generational health decline from nutrient-deficient diets, culminating in infertility by the fourth generation.
• Modern parallels suggest we may be approaching a similar biological tipping point (“Omega Generation”).
• Parents who improve their diet and environment before conception often see significant differences in later-born children.

Systemic Challenges & Solutions

• Current agricultural subsidies, processed food prevalence, and synthetic supplementation undermine nutritional quality.
• Regenerative agriculture, whole-food diets, and public education are key levers for reversing these trends.
• Change requires cultural awareness, policy reform, and personal responsibility.

Projects & Call to Action

• Cogswell is producing Inconceivable, a documentary telling real stories of families who transformed fertility and child health through nutritional change.
• His upcoming book EpicGenetics will guide parents on applying ancestral wisdom in modern life.
• Listeners are encouraged to support regenerative farming, learn traditional food preparation, and share knowledge within their communities.

In this episode of Core Conversations, host Robbie Harmon is joined once again by international sports nutritionist Tanna Fox for a fascinating and practical deep dive into the gut-brain connection. Together, they unpack how the gut microbiome—the community of bacteria living in our digestive system—directly impacts mental health, emotional regulation, energy, and mood.

Tanna explains how the vagus nerve serves as a communication superhighway between the gut and the brain, and how things like serotonin, GABA, and other neurotransmitters actually originate in the gut. They explore how to strengthen this system through probiotics, prebiotics, and amino acids, and why consistency matters more than perfection.

Through simple analogies like “feeding the little guys” (villi in your intestines), and sharing practical tips from travel and daily life, Tanna provides actionable ways to reduce inflammation, support mood, and use nutrition as a tool for long-term wellness—both physical and emotional.

Key Themes & Takeaways

Gut-Brain Connection

• The gut microbiome is often referred to as our "second brain."
• 90% of serotonin (the “feel-good” neurotransmitter) is made in the gut, not the brain.
• The vagus nerve acts as a two-way superhighway for emotional and physical communication between the gut and the brain.

Food as Medicine

• Diet is a powerful tool for mental health—you literally are what you eat.
• Probiotics (like kefir, kombucha, sauerkraut) and prebiotics (fiber-rich fruits/vegetables) work together to improve gut health.
• These foods support mood regulation, better digestion, and energy.

Consistency Over Perfection

• Consistent intake of whole foods, fiber, and supplements is more impactful than temporary fixes.
• Small, sustainable changes matter—starting with one banana or a probiotic a day can spark meaningful shifts in energy and mood.

Inflammation & Modern Diet

• Ultra-processed foods and additives degrade the gut lining, leading to inflammation and emotional imbalance.
• Inflammation in the gut is tied to many chronic issues, including anxiety, depression, and IBS.

Amino Acids & Mental Recovery

• Tryptophan (from turkey, eggs, etc.) is a key amino acid precursor to serotonin.
• IV amino acid therapy has shown significant emotional improvement in addiction recovery patients.
• Amino acids are essential building blocks for neurotransmitters and brain function.

This episode dives deep into the nutritional supplement industry, demystifying how supplements are made, what to look for as a consumer, and how brands can create truly impactful, transparent products. Sarah Bega shares her expert insights from years of experience helping companies formulate high-quality supplements—most recently, with Core7, which is a whole-food-based, all-in-one supplement with 51 carefully sourced ingredients to improve your overall health and wellbeing. 

Key Themes & Takeaways

1. Transparency is Everything

• Consumers and brands should demand transparency—from sourcing to ingredient levels.
• Many companies use “proprietary blends” to hide underdosing or protect IP, but this often sacrifices consumer trust.

2. The Complex Journey of Supplement Creation

• Developing a supplement like Core 7 involves sourcing ingredients globally, navigating supply chains, testing for purity and potency, and ensuring bioavailability.
• Each ingredient must work both individually and synergistically within the broader formula.

3. Whole Food vs. Synthetic Supplements

• Whole food-based supplements often include important cofactors for absorption and are more bioavailable.
• Not all synthetics are bad; some are necessary or even better in specific cases (e.g., fermented versions).

4. Personalization & Root Cause Thinking

• The future of supplements lies in addressing root causes of health issues, not just symptoms.
• Bioindividuality matters—what works for one person may not work for another.

5. Third-Party Testing ≠ Quality Guarantee

• Testing confirms safety and label accuracy but doesn’t assure efficacy or ingredient superiority.
• Certifications like GMP, NSF, or ISO offer some assurance but must be paired with brand trust.

6. Consumer Education is Key

• Supplement facts panels can be confusing; brands need to educate their audiences clearly.
• Ask the hard questions: “What’s in this? Why is it there? How was it sourced?”

In this deeply reflective and wide-ranging episode, Robbie Harmon sits down with Lon Henderson, Founder and CEO of Ampelis, to explore the importance of meaning and purpose in life, particularly as it relates to physical and mental well-being. Drawing on decades of personal, professional, and spiritual experiences—from asset management to mission work—Lon shares how his journey has culminated in a life mission: helping others rediscover meaning.

Lon and Robbie introduce a framework for meaning built on three foundational pillars:

1. Self-development (personal growth, education, discipline)
2. Connection to others (relationships, service)
3. Spiritual connection (divine purpose, meditation, faith)

They discuss how this "tri-venn" model emerged from both deep research (reading over 180+ books) and lived experience. The episode touches on the societal challenges of prosperity without purpose, the pitfalls of unbalanced success, and the incredible healing potential of meaning in mental health contexts such as addiction recovery and depression.

Lon also shares how Ampelis has worked to apply this framework in therapy, business culture, and family coaching—and how the results have outperformed traditional models, especially in addiction recovery outcomes.

🧠 Key Themes & Takeaways:

• Meaning is the new currency. In an age of comfort and tech, what many lack is purpose.
• A life rich in meaning requires balance across personal growth, relationships, and spirituality.
• Overemphasis in any one pillar (e.g., fame, faith, or self-help) without the others can cause imbalance or narcissism.
• Stories matter. The Ampelis model was built not just from theory but from personal stories of when people felt the most meaning in their lives.
• Holistic health care that includes meaning, nutrition, spirituality, and movement can outperform traditional mental health models.
• Viktor Frankl’s legacy (from Man’s Search for Meaning) profoundly influenced this model—especially his decision to serve over self-advancement.
• Clarity and love are among the fruits of a life lived with meaning.

Our guest this week is Kim Stoddard. She is an entrepreneur, Positive Psychology Coach, and Mindfulness Instructor.

In this episode, we dive into how mindfulness, meditation, and positive psychology tools can foster resilience in a world of increasing stress. Kim shares personal stories from her transition to rural farm life and how that shift revealed the necessity of mental and emotional tools to navigate uncertainty and loss of control.

The conversation explores:

• The difference between mindfulness (present-moment awareness) and meditation (reflection and visualization for past or future).
• How journaling and breath work serve as foundational mindfulness tools.
• The concept of “pendulum thinking” — swinging mentally from worst-case to best-case scenarios to build cognitive flexibility.
• Dr. Martin Seligman’s five core resilience skills: emotional regulation, optimism, cognitive agility, self-compassion, and self-efficacy.
• Real-life examples with children, teens, and adults using mindfulness practices to overcome anxiety, stress, and negative thought spirals.
• Tips for beginners to start small with grounding and sensory awareness meditations.

Each episode closes with actionable takeaways: Kims takeaway is using the “pendulum of possibilities” and trying short, consistent breath or senses meditations to ground yourself daily.

How metabolic health—especially through food, movement, light, and sleep—directly influences energy levels, physical wellness, and even mental and spiritual health.

Key Highlights:

• Tanna’s Journey & Calling:
  Tanna Fox, a certified nutritionist and founder of Live Right Nutrition, shares how her passion for helping people feel energized and aligned in body and spirit is rooted in personal, even divine, inspiration.

• Understanding Energy & Metabolism:
  Metabolism isn’t something you're born with—it's malleable. Our mitochondria, the energy-producing structures inside our cells, thrive or weaken depending on how we fuel, move, and rest our bodies.

• Power of Whole Foods:
  Tanna emphasizes choosing whole, plant-based, sun-grown foods over processed ones. What you eat literally becomes your body in a few days—so your grocery cart becomes your health.

• Movement as Medicine:
  Regular walking and muscle movement are key to energy production and glucose disposal. Even light movement dramatically boosts metabolic function.

• Mental & Emotional Health Connection:
  There is a strong link between the gut and the brain. Poor nutrition contributes to brain fog, anxiety, and depression. Over 90% of serotonin (a feel-good neurotransmitter) is made in the gut.

• Spiritual Alignment:
  Living in alignment with personal purpose and divine calling contributes to sustained energy and fulfillment. Tanna notes that spiritual misalignment led to exhaustion in her own life.

• Young People & Energy:
  Teens and young adults are especially vulnerable due to processed diets and lack of sleep/light. Small shifts in food, movement, and sleep can unlock major improvements in mood and resilience.

• Success Story:
  A client dealing with infertility, depression, and fatigue improved dramatically—energy returned, mood lifted, and she eventually got pregnant—by simply focusing on whole foods and outdoor light exposure.

• Supplements:
  Tanna supports high-quality supplements like Core 7 when life makes eating perfectly difficult. Supplements should fill gaps—not replace whole foods.

Intro Music is entitled “Good Day” by Garon Brett - https://open.spotify.com/track/1C7JYb7mqL4CnEmOMVRSUm?si=6f1fb43e903444f6 

This inaugural episode introduces Core Conversations, a podcast by Ampelis, a company focused on unlocking human potential through integrative health—connecting body, mind, and spirit. Host Robbie Harmon (President of Ampelis) is joined by Lon Henderson (Ampelis Founder), Tana Fox (International Sports Certified Nutritionist), and Kim Stoddard (Positive Psychology Coach and Curriculum Designer) to explain the origin, mission, and future goals of the podcast and company. 

Key Themes:

• Ampelis' Origin & Mission: Began as a family legacy consultancy and evolved into a clinical and lifestyle health company aiming to reverse mental/emotional fragility.
• Behavioral Change: Emphasis on sustainable, simple, actionable changes—“little by little, a little becomes a lot.”
• Addiction Recovery to Outpatient Care: Insights from early success in hands-on addiction recovery and the shift to more scalable outpatient clinics.
• Nutrition as a Gateway: Discussion on the impact of poor nutrition on mental health, and how whole-food-based supplements and education can restore vitality.
• Core 7 Supplement: Development of a new, high-quality supplement that combines essential nutrients into a family-friendly, whole-food-based product.
• Empowerment Through Knowledge: The team promotes education over dependency—encouraging listeners to understand how and why their health habits matter.

Takeaways:

• Behavior change is possible for everyone—starting with small steps like drinking more water, moving your body, or spending 5 minutes outdoors.
• Nutrition plays a foundational role in healing, energy, and mental clarity.
• True wellness doesn’t come from shortcuts—it comes from understanding, applying, and sustaining simple truths.
