What if everything you’ve been told about anxiety only scratches the surface? We’re taught to quiet our thoughts, reframe our worries, and “think positive.” But what if the real root of anxiety isn’t in your head at all, it’s in your body?

In this transformative episode of the HEAL with Kelly Podcast, I sit down with Dr. Russell Kennedy - physician, neuroscientist, and best-selling author of Anxiety Rx, who has made it his life’s mission to uncover what truly heals anxiety. Drawing from his own decades-long struggle with crippling worry, psychedelic journeys, and breakthroughs in somatic healing, Dr. Kennedy reveals how anxiety is actually an alarm state stored in the body, often rooted in unresolved childhood trauma.

Together, we explore why coping strategies and pharmaceuticals often fall short, and how practices like “sensation without explanation,” breathwork, and inner child connection open the door to real healing. Dr. Kennedy also shares why suppressed anger can turn children into adults locked in victimhood, how worry tricks the brain into false certainty, and why reclaiming a spiritual connection with yourself may be the missing piece in resolving anxiety.

This episode is practical, eye-opening, and deeply human. If you’ve ever wrestled with anxiety or love someone who has, Dr. Kennedy’s wisdom will help you understand it in a whole new way, and guide you back to a place of calm, safety, and inner trust.

I wanted to share a special conversation with you this week — a bonus episode that’s very close to my heart.

I recently joined my dear friend Aaron Lazar on his new podcast, Impossible Dreams. You may remember Aaron from his inspiring episode on HEAL with Kelly. He’s not only a Broadway star and a beautiful soul, but also someone courageously walking through one of life’s greatest challenges — living with ALS — with extraordinary heart, humor, and hope.

Aaron’s perspective on healing and his unwavering spirit continue to move and inspire me deeply. I’m honored to help share his story and amplify his message.

What if the very tests your doctor says are “normal” are actually missing the real reason you feel exhausted, foggy, anxious, or out of balance? For millions of people, thyroid issues are at the heart of their symptoms — yet they’re often overlooked, misdiagnosed, or mistreated.

In this episode of the HEAL with Kelly Podcast, I sit down with McCall McPherson, PA-C — a physician associate, TEDx speaker, and founder of Modern Thyroid Clinic — to uncover the truth about thyroid health and the issues with how the conventional model addresses it. McCall shares both her medical expertise and her personal journey with hypothyroidism, shedding light on why so many patients aren’t getting the answers they need and what we can do differently.

Together, we explore the crucial differences between Hashimoto’s, Graves’, and hypothyroidism, why relying on TSH markers alone misses the bigger picture, and the labs that actually matter. We talk about the role of inflammation, toxins, and stress in autoimmune thyroid disease, as well as the hidden connections between thyroid health, heart disease, diabetes, and cognitive decline.

McCall also opens up about controversial topics many doctors don’t discuss — from the risks of birth control and misconceptions about hormone replacement therapy to the overuse of GLP-1 drugs. And she offers practical, empowering lifestyle shifts — from food to relationships to microdosing peptides — that can make a profound difference in daily health.

This is an eye-opening and life-changing conversation for anyone who has ever been told their labs are “normal” but still knows something isn’t right.

What if tuning into Spirit wasn’t complicated at all but as natural as asking for advice from someone who loves you? The truth is, your guides, angels, and loved ones are always near, ready to support you with signs, clarity, and encouragement.

In this illuminating episode of the HEAL with Kelly Podcast, I sit down with MaryAnn DiMarco, an internationally recognized spiritual teacher, motivational speaker, author, and psychic medium, widely known as The Medium Mentor. We talk about her latest book,The Guidebook: Mapping Out Life’s Journey with Spirit by Your Side, and the powerful ways we can all strengthen our relationship with Spirit.

Together, we dive into the distinct role’s angels, guides, and loved ones play, and how each can offer wisdom and comfort on our path. MaryAnn also shares practical ways to ask for signs, recognize synchronicities, and surrender to divine timing in manifestation. She opens up about her own journey through comparison, self-judgment, and menopause, and how embracing authenticity and forgiveness became catalysts for transformation.

This conversation is both grounding and inspiring - offering tools, insights, and gentle reminders that you are never alone, and that Spirit is always guiding you toward your highest good.

We live in the most distracted generation the world has ever seen. Our attention is constantly fractured — pulled between devices, endless notifications, and the pressure to always be “on.” The result? We feel scattered, disconnected, and lonelier than ever, even as we chase more ways to stay connected. But there is another way forward.

In this episode of HEAL with Kelly Podcast, I sit down with Dr. Zelana Montminy — renowned behavioral scientist, bestselling author, and one of Maria Shriver’s Architects of Change — for a powerful conversation on how to reclaim your attention in a world built to distract you. Drawing from her extensive work and upcoming book Finding Focus: Owning Your Attention in the Age of Distraction, she reveals the myths behind multitasking, the hidden toll of digital clutter, and why our constant chase for quick dopamine leaves us more depleted than fulfilled.

We also explore how distraction has become the pacifier we use to avoid discomfort, and why returning to the fundamentals — sleep, nutrition, presence, and intentional rest — creates the foundation for true resilience and growth. With her unique blend of science, psychology, and holistic wisdom, Dr. Zelana offers a practical roadmap for finding clarity in the noise and remembering what it feels like to be fully present.

Did you think Tantra was just about ecstatic sex and ritual like I did? It’s actually an ancient wisdom tradition of self-awareness, embodiment, and liberation — and in this episode of HEAL with Kelly, I sit down with seventh-generation Tantra teacher, author of Break the Norms, and host of The Leela Show, Chandresh Bhardwaj, to explore the deeper truth of this sacred

Together, we unravel the myth of “linear healing” and look at why true transformation isn’t about fixing yourself but remembering your innate wholeness. As part of that wholeness, we break down the rooted masculine

Chandresh beautifully articulates breaking free from fear-based teachings, trusting the unknown, and letting go of cultural and social scripts so you can live from your authentic self. We also break down the raw, unfiltered truth about Tantra’s goddesses and their power and gifts. This is not just a conversation about sex as a portal for awakening (in fact, we barely touch on it!), but rather a conversation about love as liberation, embracing your enoughness, and daring to play in life’s unfolding with curiosity, courage, and heart.

If you’ve ever wanted a breakthrough in love or life, this conversation is your invitation to explore the gap between where you are and where you want to be — and start creating the beliefs, boundaries, and connections that will close it. 

In this episode of HEAL with Kelly, I sit down with The Opposite of Settling author, creator, and mindfulness expert Case Kenny — best known for his viral red handwritten quotes on Instagram — to talk about how the language we use, the trust we extend, and the clarity we command can transform our relationships and our lives. We dive into why “settling down” might be the worst sales pitch for love, the hidden cost of breadcrumbing, and the power of high-maintenance love rooted in reciprocity.

Case shares how he turns prompts into powerful self-realizations, why leading with energy instead of matching it gives you clarity faster, and how visualizing your future like it’s already a memory can rewire your mindset. We also discuss making trust your default, using regret as a compass, and the simple but life-changing art of listening to yourself — then speaking to yourself with intention. 

This episode is packed with fresh perspectives, practical tools, and heart-opening AHA’s to help you stop settling and start living from your fullest, truest self.

What if your life is a dream, and you’re the one creating it? Whether you’re building a business, healing your body, or simply trying to live with more love, this conversation is packed with timeless wisdom, hard-won insight, and soul.

In this expansive and deeply personal episode, I sit down with Whole Foods Market Co-Founder and Conscious Capitalism pioneer John Mackey, who shares his next bold chapter: a transformational new venture called Love.Life. A 45,000-square-foot wellness center designed to help people become the healthiest version of themselves. And it happens to be 8 minutes from my new home! Am I a powerful manifestor or what!? :)  

Love.Life is designed to be a one-stop destination for holistic healing, integrating food, fitness, functional medicine, and leading-edge recovery modalities. John shares powerful insights on forgiveness, self-responsibility, and how tuning into your inner guidance system can shift your entire reality.

From business to spirituality, leadership to relationships, John opens up about the values that shaped his journey and the inner practices that keep him aligned. He reflects on decades of experience as a mission-driven entrepreneur, the spiritual insights, and the deep importance of building a life (and a business) fueled by love.

Together, we explore how to build a culture rooted in purpose and integrity, what most CEOs get wrong about leadership, and why happiness is the compass that can guide us toward our true path.
