Today we sit down with Michael Rubino, an innovative expert in mold contamination and remediation and author of the book Mold Medic. Rubino and his company All American Restoration have been featured in USA Today, Reader’s Digest, New Jersey Monthly and Digital Trends. He was also selected as a speaker for the Spring 2020 Indoor Air Quality Association Meeting and Expo. 

Michael has a real passion for helping people truly understand how to create a non-toxic living environment to thrive and feel their best. In this episode he provides so many good, practical tips for creating spaces with healthy air to breath, regardless of whether you are a renter, a buyer and no matter your budget. 

We learned from Michael that millions of Americans struggle with the effects of mold exposure on their health and many seek out mold remediation companies but still suffer after the jobs are done due to incomplete removal of the mold.

While Michael does do mold remediation, his procedure removes all traces of mold including the spores they leave behind and the toxins produced by the mold. A person suffering from hypersensitivity to mold needs all three types of decontamination to regain their health. This episode enlightened both of us and if you breathe air everyday - you won’t want to miss this conversation! Enjoy the episode.

Today on the podcast we have a lovely conversation with Lauren Montgomery. Lauren is a Certified Health Coach, Health Supportive Chef, and Founder of Monty’s, a plant-based brand dedicated to creating delicious, clean and craveable plant-based essentials, starting with cream cheese and butter. Lauren founded Monty’s on an overall wellness mission to create insanely delicious, plant-based alternatives to some of our favorite essential foods, without compromising outstanding taste.

After Lauren discovered her passion for plant-based nutrient-dense foods, she began to invest her time in working in restaurants, visiting nut farms, and testing out cashew cheese recipes on friends, family, and every dinner party she was invited to. In 2018, Lauren developed the perfectly delicious and creamy recipe of Monty’s cream cheese and butter that instantly became a favorite across New York City restaurants, health stores, and specialty retailers.

Monty’s recently launched their online shop  and now ships direct to consumers nationwide. We have been fortunate to try Lauren’s delicious cream cheese and butters and were so impressed with the taste and the ingredients. We are especially big fans of the butter!

Through Monty’s, Lauren continues spreading the message that indulging in our favorite essentials made from nutritious, clean, plant-based ingredients can lead to living a more healthful, vibrant and beautiful life. We have a wonderful conversation about Monty’s products and Lauren’s journey. hope you enjoy the episode!

This week on the show we have a conversation with Steph Hendel. Steph is a health and weight loss coach, but with a radical and innovative twist: her work is women-focused, coaching through spiritual weight release using the principles of inner work, mindset, manifestation, intuition, sacred feminine embodiment, self-love, and self-empowerment.  Steph has a number of courses where she aids women in releasing judgement, shame, and limiting beliefs to connect with their heart space in order to tap into and live out their soul purpose. 

Steph works to empower women to embody and nourish their true selves, as she believes that filling ourselves up and living out our purpose is the most nourishing and highest serving thing we can possibly do for ourselves, our loved ones, and the planet. We have a beautiful conversation about Steph’s journey, mission, and program.

Today on the podcast we have a wonderful conversation with Iris Felder. Iris is Fitness Enthusiast, Beauty Guru, Real Estate professional, and an all around Wellness Activist. Iris was inspired to embrace fitness and a healthy lifestyle as her saving grace from her life experiences. Instead of getting depressed about career and relationship, she turned that into a motivational tool to command change in her life. 

Iris’s life transformed after she was told she was at risk for high blood pressure. This prompted her to make a serious life change. Iris started to experiment with her own health and wellness, and went plant based for 3.5 years. This completely changed her relationship with food and nutrition and led her to discover and become passionate about fitness. After seeing her own positive changes, she began inspiring others and has now created the most effective workouts that women can do from the comfort of their homes. Iris works with women of all ages and empowers individuals to take their health into their own hands. Her fitness and coaching plans also include nutritional meal ideas that accommodates pescatarian, plant based recipes. We have an incredible conversation on Iris’s personal journey and small changes everyone can make to live a healthier lifestyle. We loved this conversation and hope you enjoy the episode!

We got vaccinated and we recorded a podcast all about our experience! We share why we decided to get the vaccine, what made us feel safe, and how we both felt after the first + second dose.

We understand that vaccines are personal and we respect everyone’s choice to do what is best for their own body. We made our choice to vaccinate, not only for ourselves, but because we felt a responsibility to be a part of the collective public health initiative. Since we host a podcast where we discuss all things courageous wellness — we wanted to share our own personal experience with getting the vaccine! We both feel an overwhelming sense of gratitude to science, doctors, nurses, and everyone who has been on the frontlines fighting this disease for the last year.
