Hot Topics!

Welcome to Hot Topics! In this episode, host Gabrielle Crichlow engages with guest Axay Shah to challenge conventional eating habits. They investigate the compelling argument that if a food item does not originate from Mother Nature, it has no place on our plates. By intertwining ancient wisdom with modern nutritional insights, they provide a roadmap for cultivating a lifestyle that prioritizes living foods and actively avoids harmful substances.

Who is Axay Shah?
Axay Shah is a dedicated raw foodist and researcher with nearly two decades of experience studying the intersection of nature and human biology. His work, recognized by the Library of Congress and supported by leading medical professionals, including Dr. Shrenik Shah, is driven by his mission to help one million people reclaim their vitality. By bridging the gap between ancient dietary wisdom and modern nutritional science, Axay draws on 16 years of personal practice and research into raw foodism to provide a “biological backbone” for the plant-based community, demonstrating that living foods are the ultimate fuel for the human body.

Welcome to Hot Topics! In this episode, host Gabrielle Crichlow invites guest Zulma Williams, who affectionately calls herself "A Swearing Therapist." Together, they explore whether the use of profanity is a genuine form of self-expression, allowing individuals to convey their true emotions and experiences. They examine the emotional weight and societal perceptions of swearing, prompting viewers to reflect on how these words can reveal deeper aspects of authentic selves. Ultimately, they encourage embracing authenticity in language and expression. (Explicit content ahead!)

Who is Zulma Williams?
Zulma is the founder of Dragonfly Therapy Services and a licensed clinical social worker, widely known as "The Swearing Therapist." Specializing in trauma, anxiety, and depression, she empowers clients to tackle life’s challenges and embrace their true potential. Born and raised in Buenos Aires, Argentina, Zulma immigrated to the U.S. at 31. At 42, she began her journey in social work, and just weeks after graduating at 46, she faced a breast cancer diagnosis. After a lumpectomy and a transformative three-year stay in Argentina, she returned to the U.S. in 2015. By 50, she was pursuing her Master of Social Work, becoming fully licensed in 2018. Her motto? "I had cancer, cancer did not have ME!" In 2025, she celebrated her 60th birthday in Hawaii, which reignited her love for the ocean. After financial challenges, she moved to Panama in December 2025, waking up to the soothing sounds of waves. Zulma is witty, passionate, and unapologetically real. Join us as we explore her remarkable journey and insights as a mental health therapist, public speaker, and podcaster!
