Episode 100 of the Fit Mother Project Podcast is all about surviving trauma and how to make sense of your traumas so you can heal from them.

In this episode, you’ll meet Sara Miley, an IFS-informed, advanced-certified trauma recovery coach and an experienced crisis advocate. 

Through her own learned and lived experiences, she is passionate about helping survivors find the roots of their suffering.

Episode 97 of the Fit Mother Project Podcast is all about healthy aging and how you can look and feel great at any age!

In this episode, you’ll meet Dr. Jannine Krause, a naturopathic doctor, acupuncturist, and the host of The Health Fix Podcast. 

She believes women's health shouldn't be a mystery with age and that there is no such thing as ‘normal’ aging!

She's on a mission to change how women access healthcare as they reach their 40s and beyond with sound advice on hormones, weight loss, energy, and aging.

Along the way, she’s uncovered five common aging accelerators - inflammation, stress, metabolic dysfunction, microbiome imbalance, and insulin resistance.

While things like exercise, restful sleep, and a wholesome diet protect you from accelerated aging, the five aging accelerators do the opposite: they add fuel to the aging wildfire, wreaking havoc on your hormones, energy levels, and quality of life. 

This is a fantastic conversation where we discuss how all of us can live healthier lives with a body that's more free and open, working better, producing energy, and aging well!

In this episode, you’ll learn about: 

• Looking at the body as the integrated whole that it actually is.
• Getting to the root cause of what ails you, and not just popping another pill.
• The inflammation process and healthy versus unhealthy inflammation.
• How to create more resilience in your nervous system.
• How to reduce mental and emotional stress.
• And so much more!

Episode 95 of the Fit Mother Project Podcast is all about cold plunges and the many benefits of cold exposure.

In this episode, you’ll meet Matt and Brie Kuiper of Desert Plunge, an Arizona-based company specializing in handcrafted, high quality cold plunge tubs.

In 2019, Matt and Brie were traveling through Ecuador, when Matt faced a sudden onset of severe insomnia, anxiety, and depression that turned his world upside down. 

For the next seven months, he tried multiple healing modalities with little relief, including antidepressants, talk therapy, natural remedies, and more. 

Then, Matt found a cold plunge wellness center and started going every day religiously. Daily ice baths, exercise, breathwork, prayer, and mindfulness are what turned things around for him and brought relief and healing. 

Matt quickly realized that cold therapy is vital to managing your mental health, and realized how many people this could help. 

And that’s where Desert Plunge was born!

Episode 94 of the Fit Mother Project Podcast is all about Carbon 60 (C60) and how it’s one of the most potent antioxidants you can take.

In this episode, you’ll meet Ken Swartz, a biogeochemist, economist, mathematician, and inventor who is making significant contributions to the field of health and wellness. 

Known as "Ken the Scientist," he is the founder and chief science officer of C60 Purple Power, a company dedicated to providing top-quality C60 products. 

C60 is a naturally occurring molecule, and it has an antioxidant efficacy that’s much higher than conventional antioxidants. C60 helps maximize the efficiency of the cells in producing energy, and it may also provide cellular protection against many toxic environmental factors.

Over the course of his professional career, Ken has successfully managed multiple research science laboratories. It was during his work on the Metal Oxide (MOXY) Fusion Reactor that he stumbled upon an intriguing discovery — the remarkable free radical neutralizing properties of C60. 

Driven by scientific curiosity, Ken delved deeper into the study and experimentation of C60. He initially used it as a radiation protectant on his fusion research projects and noticed unexpected improvements in his overall health. 

Astonishingly, after approximately eight months of incorporating C60 into his routine, Ken's dry Macular Degeneration vanished, leaving his optometrist amazed by the unprecedented outcome. 

Motivated by this transformative personal experience, Ken dedicated himself to researching, studying,  and producing C60 Buckminsterfullerene products. 

We’ve all heard about antioxidants and their benefits, but we often don’t know how they work and which ones are really the best.

Ken breaks it down and teaches us what we need to know about Carbon 60, antioxidants, free radicals, and so much more!

In this episode, you’ll learn about: 

• What Carbon 60 is and why it’s so powerful.
• How Ken discovered it, and what it has meant to his health and wellness. 
• How antioxidants really work and why you need to pay attention to them.
• The various free radicals you need to know about.
• Simple ways to understand your body’s chemistry. 
• And so much more!
