In this high-energy episode, I sit down with Carl Daikeler, co-founder and CEO of BODi (formerly BeachBody), to uncover what it truly takes to stay fit, healthy, and motivated at any age—especially after 40. Carl shares the honest truth about hating workouts, why consistency trumps complexity, and how his own struggles inspired the creation of Shakeology and countless effective fitness programs. From breaking the myth of “more is better” to championing the power of 25-minute workouts, Carl explains how to build muscle, lose fat, and achieve longevity without perfection. He reveals how accountability, community, and mindset drive real transformation—and how the best way to help yourself might be by helping someone else. Whether you're looking to get shredded, manage weight over 40, or just finally stick to a routine, this episode is packed with practical, sustainable advice.

In this episode of Ever Forward Radio, I sit down with renowned Los Angeles plastic surgeon Dr. Susan Chobanian, MD—widely known as the Queen of Rhinoplasty—to uncover the truth behind nose jobs, revision surgery, and the emotional impact of plastic surgery. We explore everything from teen rhinoplasty and ethnic considerations to botched procedures, non-surgical nose jobs, and the crucial connection between aesthetic surgery and mental health. Dr. Chobanian shares what truly makes a great rhinoplasty candidate, why she champions the often-overlooked “closed” technique, and how the nose—more than any other feature—can define identity, confidence, and success.

Today we sit down with hormone expert and bestselling author Dr. Mariza Snyder, DC to unpack the misunderstood phase of perimenopause—a time of powerful transition that affects every woman but is rarely talked about with clarity and compassion. Mariza defines what perimenopause really is (and how early it can begin), while highlighting symptoms like brain fog, mood shifts, energy crashes, and stubborn weight gain that are too often misdiagnosed or ignored. Drawing from both science and personal experience, she explains how estrogen impacts everything from mental clarity to metabolism, and why muscle mass and metabolic health are non-negotiables after 40. If you're a woman navigating this stage—or someone who loves one—this episode will leave you feeling informed, validated, and ready to thrive in your next chapter.

In this powerful and timely episode of Ever Forward Radio, Chase sits down with Louisiana State Senator Patrick McMath, Chairman of the Senate Health and Welfare Committee, to discuss a growing national movement around children’s health, school nutrition, and public policy reform. Senator McMath dives deep into his groundbreaking Senate Bill 14 (Act 463)—a first-of-its-kind initiative to limit artificial dyes, additives, and sweeteners in school meals, introduce QR code ingredient transparency, and improve the overall nutritional standards in Louisiana schools.

What began as a personal journey to restore his family’s health evolved into a statewide wellness movement—and a national example of how policy can reshape public health from the ground up. Together, Chase and Patrick explore the intersection of wellness, politics, and personal responsibility, how chaos can lead to reform, and why the Make America Healthy Again (MAHA) movement is transforming how we think about food and children’s well-being.
