“The main health benefits of the Fasting Mimicking Diet are due to the metabolic and cellular effects of the diet. While most diets focus on weight loss, the Fasting Mimicking Diet not only induces weight loss but also maintains healthy levels of cholesterol, triglycerides, blood sugar and other important health markers. Due to these effects, the Fasting Mimicking Diet was granted the first patent in history on promoting tissue/organ regeneration, Longevity and Healthspan July 10th, 2018. The FMD holds multiple patents discovered and clinically tested by the laboratory of Valter Longo and Keck Hospital at the University of Southern California (USC). These patents are exclusively licensed to L-Nutra and include indications such as cancer, auto-immune diseases, diabetes, and cardiovascular diseases. USC and multiple research centers around the world are currently researching the impact of the FMD on these diseases.”

James brings both clinical and business experience to L-Nutra. His background is in the development of early stage medical and biotechnology, in addition to working with physicians, nurses and other healthcare professionals. James completed his M.D. at The Ohio State University, and was the inaugural Research Fellow at the Ohio Health Research and Innovation Institute. He finished his MBA at the University of Southern California Marshall School of Business. He has worked with the USC Alfred Mann Institute for Biomedical Engineering, the Lloyd Grief Center for Entrepreneurial Studies, and the Stevens Institute of Technology. He holds a Bachelor’s degree in Cell Biology from the University of Virginia, and completed his Neuroscience Masters coursework at Miami University. Prior to joining the L-Nutra team, he was the head of Inventor Services at The Innovation Institute, a partnership with the Cleveland Clinic Innovations group focused on developing and commercializing new and innovative healthcare solutions.

ProLon launched in the United States on September 21, 2016, and quickly expanded into 12 international countries. Today, ProLon has globally impacted the lives of 80,000 consumers in the United States and Europe. L-Nutra will be expanding into Canada, Mexico, Australia, New Zealand, Middle East, Japan and China. The company is on track to be one of the fastest growing nutri-technology companies with breakthrough scientific research and a rich pipeline of fasting mimicking diets.

ProLon has helped over 80,000 individuals to improve their wellbeing. More than 5,500 healthcare providers have recommended ProLon to their patients. “Our goal is to scientifically uncover all the health benefits of fasting and make them available to billions of individuals,” says Dr. Antoun. “We are aiming at enhancing human longevity by many years, and we believe it is within in our reach,” continued Dr. Antoun.<

Take note, Matt Maruca is going to blow up. At the age on 19, he’s crusading to shed light (no pun) on the health dangers of our incessant blue lightexposure (think phones, screens, etc). Matt is on a mission to expose how we are deeply disrupting our circadian rhythm and hormones by allowing blue light into our systems in such a profound way. Matt goes by The Light Diet on Instagram where you can find informative bite size riffs about the science behind all of it. He also created Ra Optics, the leading blue blocker glasses on the market.

Alexandra Roxo (real name! is a transformational mentor, healer, writer, and artist who is extremely passionate about empowering women. Her writing on personal growth and female empowerment, the divine feminine resurgence, moon ritual, and modern spirituality can be read on Girl Boss.com. Teen Vogue, Mind Body Green, and more. She has been featured in many publications for her deep, sensual, and raw approach to healing and transformation, and has also been named a "modern spiritual leader" by Well + Good. 

Ok, that’s the riff from her about page. She’s simply a bad ass. Alexandra is on a mission to make women feel good, as they are. Period. She is about embracing and celebrating self and if you don’t know it (said self!) her work will help you find her (you).

I simply ADORE her and we really just scratched the surface of her work (think snakes, rope work with Shibari, plant medicine, circling and way way more), in this episode. We for sure will do another. For now, enjoy a bit more about Alexandra (from her website) below and just PRESS PLAY!

She was called to find a way to share her spiritual work with women in places in the world where there is less access to workshops and classes and retreats so together with Ruby Warrington she created the online community Moon Club, which consists of hundreds of women worldwide who attend monthly online rituals, empowerment talks, and are guided by in journey and breathwork practices.

Alexandra has been called to help women find their voices, release limiting beliefs imposed by society, and come home to their true nature for as long as she can remember. She currently works with clients one on one and in groups, empowering and guiding them on their spiritual paths, leading events and retreats across the world, and writing daily empowering messages online. She has helped and inspired thousands of women to radically claim themselves and lead more passionate and conscious lives and it brings her great joy!

Prior to that she directed documentaries, a web show, and a feature film, wrote plays and created art along the same topics of what it means to be modern woman and what spiritual awakening feels like, which have been viewed by millions of people and featured in international press.

Her first spiritual mentorship began when she met her first teacher at age 12 whom she studied with annually until his passing in 2015. She began studying yoga and meditation at age 19 when she lived and studied with monastics abroad. Through her studies at NYU’s Tisch School of the Arts where she earned a BFA she learned how to use theatre, embodiment work, breath work, movement, and storytelling for healing and personal transformation. She went on to study shamanic journey practice, sacred intimacy work, Earth based spiritual practice, Reiki, and plant medicine ceremonial traditions with many teachers around the world. Her 15 years of meditation practice and moon ritual is what inspired her to create Moon Club as a place to gather for deep sharing and deep practice relating to the internal spiritual journey.

Her current studies include Vajrayana Tantric Buddhist practices with the renowned teacher and author, Lama Tsultrim Allione, and Kashmiri Shaivist Tantra practice with author and teacher, Sally Kempton, and alternative mental healthcare training.

She is working on her first book with the publisher Sounds True, out in early 2020 and will be leading retreats in 2019 at 1440 Multiversity, Kripalu Center, and Maha Rose Mexico and enjoying life between NYC and LA!

For as long as I can remember, I have had a deep connection to Divine Spirit. Growing up with my Grandmother as my first spiritual guide, she taught me about tarot, reading tea leaves, palms and communicating with spirits. 

When I got pregnant in 2015, I opened up a type of connection to the spirit world that I had never experienced before. I communicated with my daughter’s soul during pregnancy, I learned about her past-life experience, I communicated with spirit guides, and my intuitive abilities became stronger.

After Ivy was born, my abilities continued to strengthen. I experienced communicative and astral projection dreams, received messages from my husband’s late grandmother, officially met my spirit guides and began utilizing the Law of Attraction to manifest the kind of life I want to live.

Divinely guided, I launched my podcast Manifest This! in early 2018 and from that, connected with a woman who introduced me to the Akashic Records. I always knew I was designed to help others and reading the Records is how. Through reading my own Records, I learned that I have been working with the Akashic Records for years in past lives and that sharing the information they provide with others is part of my Divine soul journey.

Listening to Tal Rabinowitz’s map her journey to opening Den Meditation is a an exercise in tuning into intuition, listening to the call of true self, abolishing fear and simply just going for it. If you ever struggled between playing it safe and sticking with a good thing or taking a risk to follow your heart -then this podcast is for you. Tal is empowering and inspiring in every sense of the word. She left her life as a top tier Hollywood executive as VP of Comedy Development at NBC (think The Mindy Show, Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt (obsessed) and more) and did a full tilt pivot to opening the first of it’s kind - a home for meditation/mindfullness and more - in the heart of Hollywood (and also Studio City). As someone who used to perpetually question myself and my true career desires, my jaw was on the floor listening to Tal define what success means to her, moving through doubt into the unknown to fully embrace the path less travelled. Success comes from deep need and this town was desperate for a hub like Den to ground, center and congregate. Listen to the Den mama herself and head to DEN MEDITATION to see what Den has to offer (classes, workshops, retreats, community), if you don’t know it. You can find me there weekly at any and all sound baths! And even more exciting for you podcast lovers, Tal recently launched DEN TALKS! If anyone is going to call in incredible guests, it’s Tal and so far I am riveted. Too many goodies to list but we go over them in this podcast. So. Good.

Kara Erickson is a leading voice in the wellness scene. She is the co-creator, with Anna Lundgaard, of WITMA which I am obsessively in love with, after attending earlier this year. WITMA is: 

 "WELL-BEING IN THE MODERN AGE (WITMA) IS A LIVE POP-UP CONVERSATION SERIES  FOCUSED ON PRACTICAL METHODS FOR LIVING A HEALTHY AND CONNECTED LIFE.”

So, you can see how deeply I appreciate Kara’s mission. But my question is, what drives one to seek path out as a career? Kara and I break it all down together. What attracted her to wellness and healing and how her life leading up to this led her to creating this space for thinkers to come together and share their paths to healing, wellness and more. Check in for a fun, inspired chat and get to know Kara, follow her now so you can stay tuned and clued in to everything she’s up to. If you are on the path (you know the one I’m talking about!) then you for sure want to gather some stones from the one she’s tearing through and skip it along with her.
