Ric Scalzo began his exploration of herbal and naturopathic medicine in 1980, delving into fields such as Naturopathic Herbal Medicine, Eclectic Herbal Medicine, Ayurvedic Medicine, Traditional Chinese Medicine, and various diagnostic methods. He earned a master's degree in Herbal Medicine from the School of Herbal Medicine and was awarded an Honorary Doctorate of Naturopathic Medicine from Southwest College of Naturopathic Medicine.

After several years of medical practice, Ric founded Gaia Herbs in 1987 and grew Gaia to the most respected and successful herbal company in the country. After selling Gaia in 2019, Ric established the Institute of Botanical Research in Arizona and established CR Medicinal Farms, a regenerative organic farm in Costa Rica. These became the stepping stones for his new adventure called Kokora, a herbal products company focused on regenerative organic cultivation with a mission to "create the finest herbal remedies that promote health and vitality for all".

Celebrated for his pioneering work in Herbal Medicine and his dedication to preserving herbal integrity for over four decades, Ric continues to innovate in the field and plays a key role in integrating regenerative agriculture with herbal medicine.

In this episode, Ric Scalzo explores how regenerative herbal farming, constitution‑based botanical formulas, and aligned sleep practices can radically upgrade immune resilience, metabolic health, and inner‑outer environment regeneration.

Dr. Catharine Arnston is an expert on algae nutrition, a wellness thought leader, an experienced entrepreneur and sought after speaker.

In 2008 Catharine left her corporate job to care for her sister who was diagnosed with breast cancer. When Catharine learned that algae's vast healing properties were documented in tens of thousands of scientific studies, but none of these studies or benefits were known outside of Asia, she knew she had to do something. And that's how ENERGYbits was born!

In this episode, Dr. Catharine Arnston and Tara dive into how spirulina and chlorella microalgae power mitochondria, detox the body, support gut health, and plug into biohacking and women's longevity.

Eric Perner spent most of his early life and career on horseback learning the craft and trade of equine athletic competitions at the highest level.

After competing nationwide as a professional journeymen jockey for 10 years he retired and completed his Mechanical Engineering degree at the University of Tulsa, he has since received his Professional Engineering license and served in multiple executive roles in the O&G industry.

Later he moved on from the extractive O&G industry and became a full time cattle rancher, Co-Founder/CEO of REP Provisions, a direct to consumer supplier of locally raised regenerative meats from local family farms, and COO of Rebellion Energy Solutions, a company focusing on the plugging of leaking O&G wells and the restoration of these lands to regenerative landscapes.

He uses his diverse skill sets to develop unique environmental solutions in the Energy Industry and for various problems facing agriculture. Eric is an educator on the topic of regenerative agriculture and his unique insights show why cattle can be an intricate and necessary part of our grassland ecosystems; however, the improper management of cattle can lead to environmental degradation.

Eric owns the Double P Ranch in Mounds, Oklahoma where they produce grass-fed beef, goat, lamb and pastured pork as part of the supply chain for REP Provisions. He operates his ranch as a Savory Global Business Hub to provide restoration grazing education and guidance for other local ranchers in the methods of holistic management to create the conditions that lead to the regeneration of our native grasslands.

In this episode, Tara and regenerative rancher Eric Perner dive into how truly regenerative agriculture restores soil, water cycles, and biodiversity while improving human health and why voting with your food dollars really matters.

Harry Massey is a Bioenergetics Pioneer, bestselling author, award-winning filmmaker, and Quantum Wellness Visionary whose life's work was forged through one of the most unlikely paths to healing imaginable.

After a catastrophic mountaineering accident left him bedridden for nearly a decade, Harry discovered firsthand what happens when every health system fails you — Western, holistic, and functional alike. Determined to survive, he turned to physics.

Through his research, Harry co-founded one of the world's first R&D companies in bioenergetics and spent two decades building technology that could measure, manage, and master the human energy field.

Today, Harry is the Founder & CEO of Energy4Life and the visionary behind some of the most groundbreaking bioenergetic technologies in the world — including the miHealth Device, the Bioenergetic Voice Scan, and the GEM Wearable, an AI-powered device that detects and corrects emotional energy imbalances in real time.

Beyond his work as an entrepreneur and inventor, Harry is a bestselling author and the writer, director, and producer of several documentaries, including the award-winning film The Living Matrix. His latest film is set to release Summer 2026 — a timely and powerful exploration of what it means to heal at the energetic level.

In this episode, Tara and Harry Massey dive into bioenergetics, infoceuticals, and wearable tech that aim to restore "energy for life" by imprinting corrective information into the body's energy field.

Robert Gallery is a former professional football player and a 2023 College Football Hall of Fame inductee. He played collegiate football at the University of Iowa, earning unanimous All-American honors and the 2003 Outland Trophy. Gallery was selected second overall in the 2004 NFL Draft and played eight seasons in the NFL with the Oakland Raiders and Seattle Seahawks.

Following his professional career, Gallery experienced mental health challenges associated with repeated head injuries and alcohol dependency. Ibogaine treatment was a significant part of his personal recovery. He co-founded Athletes for Care to support other athletes navigating similar post-career challenges and to advocate for research and awareness around athlete mental health.

In this episode, former NFL star Robert Gallery shares how severe CTE symptoms, failed conventional treatments, and suicidal despair led him to medically supervised ibogaine and 5‑MeO‑DMT therapy in Mexico, catalyzing profound neurological, emotional, and spiritual healing and inspiring his Athletes for Care advocacy work.

In this episode, Dr. Patrick Porter, Ashok Gupta, and Jack Savage explore with Tara how brain retraining, better sleep, targeted tech like BrainTap, and gentler stimulants with ingredients such as L‑theanine and medicinal mushrooms can calm an overstimulated nervous system and improve focus.

Dr. Patrick K. Porter, PhD, is an award-winning author/speaker and the founder of BrainTap®, the leader in technology-enhanced meditation. Dr. Porter pioneered the use of brainwave entrainment to improve clarity, sleep & energy, and remains at the forefront of scientific research. He founded BrainTap with the goal of making this technology accessible to everyone. BrainTap offers over 1800 original audio sessions in 12 languages and serves a worldwide user base with its mobile app and headset.

Ashok Gupta is the mind behind The Gupta Program and a leading expert in the field of neuroimmune conditioned syndromes (NICS). Ashok is an internationally renowned Speaker, Filmmaker & Health Practitioner who has dedicated his life to supporting people through chronic illness, and achieving their potential.

As someone who's always had trouble focusing, Jack Savage was prescribed stimulants at the age of 5 until high blood pressure gave cause for serious concern. He quit cold turkey and started drinking lots of coffee. After 1-2 hours of ineffective energy, he'd crash or if he drank too much, he'd feel jittery and anxious. That's when he started researching biohacking, nutrition and functional mushrooms. Jack found that basically all mushrooms are magical, especially when combined with nootropics. This led him to the ingredients in Everyday Dose, which have allowed him to regain control of his life for the first time.
