We can all agree: gut health is one of the most important aspects of wellness and well-being. An imbalanced gut is the precursor to an imbalanced life; whether that results in an increased prevalence of diseases and chronic health issues, or weakened immune systems and mental health resilience.

In today’s episode, we had the pleasure of sitting down with Dasha Agoulnik. As you’ll learn, Dasha’s road to her current position has been long, winding, and rich with experience. Her background in medicine and love for biochemistry sets her apart from standard Registered Dietitians, which is how she is currently making an impact in her clients’ and patients’ lives.

Dasha is also the founder of Core Perform, an evidence-based supplement company that offers products to lower bloat and inflammation. If you’re in the hunt for a delicious, gut-friendly protein powder, her Maple Banana Bread blend is a guaranteed hit!

Throughout this episode, Dasha shares her thoughts on the importance of balancing the gut-brain axis, gut microbiota and flora, and our stress levels. She also describes the catalyst that motivated her to pursue a career as a Registered Dietitian, as well as what she hopes to accomplish in her field. Her experience with sports and performance enriches this conversation, and those she has on her social platforms. Whether you’re an athlete or a mom of two, you’ll walk away from this conversation equipped to improve your gut health in 2023.

“I completely agree that you are what you eat. But even further than that, I like to say: you are not what you eat, you are what you absorb.” – Dasha Agoulnik

Welcome to another episode of The Cured Collective Podcast! In today’s episode, we sit down with CURED partner, Sam Miller, to discuss all things metabolism. Sam is a coach, podcast host, and the author of the recently released book, ‘Metabolism Made Simple.

During the conversation, Sam shares the foundational components of metabolism including: energy, the calorie in calorie out conundrum, creating sustainable approaches, and more!

While the book is titled ‘Metabolism Made Simple’, we’d reflect that this is one of the most comprehensive collections of information to get you kick-started on taking control of your own metabolism.

Join us to weed through the piles of information in our current world and get down to the most important factors.

 “I think we’re always in our journey, evolving and growing, to be able to help and serve the person that we were a decade ago or even prior to that. So when I first started my health and fitness journey, a lot of the concepts I talk about in the book were things that were argued about in social media or there was a lot of misinformation or misapplication of those concepts. It wasn’t necessarily something I was presented in a super digestible fashion.” – Sam Miller

Key Highlights

• Sam explains that the process of writing and sharing a book that contains a good amount of teachings is extremely rewarding for him and makes him feel he is doing something important for the industry;
• The book is for those desiring to transform their lives, for those who are wanting to help others, and for Sam himself, a decade ago;
• Sam highlights the foundation to understanding metabolism, and nutrition, and start making true changes daily. All of which are taught in the book
• Sam explains that changing body composition is not an easy task and every one is unique so not every strategy is going to work for everyone.
• Sam talks about how consistency and behavioral change are the key steps to starting a transformation and the pros and cons of popular diets.

Mark is a Human Connection Specialist, cofounder of the “Do You Mine’d” App, host of the Mark Groves Podcast, and prolific speaker, writer, and creator.

This episode was first recorded during the CURED Elevation Challenge when Mark sat down with the community to share his thoughts regarding conscious styles of communicating and cultivating relationships; however the material covered can be applied to every aspect of our lives.

Many of us have asked ourselves, “What does it actually take to build the life of our dreams?” Although every attempt to answer this question will certainly be nuanced and layered, Mark’s insights on meaningful connection, manifestation, and aligned action provide a roadmap.

In this episode of The Cured Collective Podcast, we chat with Emily Hayden. Emily is an IFBB Pro Bikini Athlete and mindset, nutrition, and training coach for elite athletes. She is the founder of Evolve, a 90-Day program that specializes in transforming her clients from self-judgment, overwhelm, and negativity to confidence, excellence, and daily success.

This episode was first recorded during the CURED Elevation Challenge when Emily sat down with the community to share her thoughts on the role of exercise and movement in maintaining mental health. During this conversation, she speaks to daily practices (like exercise and cold exposure) as a lifestyle treatment for depression and anxiety.

Although many individuals think of motivation as a prerequisite for working out, Emily explains that the opposite is actually true. Exercising is what fuels our motivation to move through our days with even greater clarity and productivity.

Putting our bodies into new (and uncomfortable) environments is one of the most critical keys to unlocking new mindsets. When we are able to move beyond our comfort zones, we tap into new levels of our potential.

Listen now!

“If you are struggling with anxiety or depression, or if you are feeling overwhelmed or feeling like there’s so much on your plate…get up, go for a walk, go outside. It can change your entire mental state.” – Emily Hayden

Key Highlights

• What Emily’s relationship with movement looks like, as well as how it has evolved over time;
• Why moving her body has always been an important aspect of her wellness and identity;
• What first prompted her career in bodybuilding;
• How (and why) you can begin to take advantage of daily cold exposure;
• How cold exposure has impacted Emily’s overall health, as well as her performance and recovery;
• What to know about cold plunges versus cryotherapy.

On today’s episode of the podcast, we’re lucky to sit down with Mike Millner. Mike is a high-level nutrition coach with over ten years of experience. He has a gift for understanding the psychological and physiological needs of his clients, and incorporates this expertise in his personality-based approach to coaching.

Given Mike’s colorful background and depth of understanding when it comes to human behavior, he’s able to answer our questions about fitness, well-being, and life in general. Today, he focuses on how we can all begin to create progress in our lives when we are equipped with the proper mindset.

Mike believes that implementing the various lessons from our day to day lives is fundamental for creating lasting change in our thoughts, habits, and actions. When we can identify what we truly want in life and take inventory of our current daily reality, we can move forward with ‘crossing the river’. 

“Once you start having conversations with people about what’s really holding them back, it often has nothing to do with the activity, or the training, or the nutrition, or anything like that. It’s what they think about themselves and their limiting beliefs.” – Mike Millner

Key Highlights

• Why one of the first steps toward making meaningful change is identifying what we want in life and which goals deserve our attention;
• What distinguishes internal accountability from external accountability, and why it matters;
• How to overcome limiting beliefs by asking ourselves difficult questions;
• Why the decisions we make, the people we connect with, and the beliefs we hold impact our capacity to change;
• How to make smart, aligned decisions;
• Why a deep relationship with self is an essential pillar of developing the lives we want most, and Mike’s experience with this.

In this episode of The Cured Collective Podcast, we sit down with Neil Markey, co-founder and CEO of Beckley Retreats, to discuss the healing power of psilocybin. The Beckley Foundation is a charitable organization set up by Amanda Feilding in 1998 to initiate and carry out pioneering research into the therapeutic potential of psychedelics, and to create a scientific base for global drug policy reform.

Their aim is to harness the power of science in order to integrate psychoactive substances into society as safe and effective tools, to treat a broad range of health conditions and enhance wellbeing. Beckley Retreats offers a comprehensive, eleven-week program, dedicated to providing individuals with the tools they need to cultivate meaningful change.

Neil is passionate about sharing the science-backed benefits of psychedelics in conjunction with the contemplative practices that support holistic wellbeing. As a former Captain in the US Army Special Operations 2nd Ranger Battalion, Neil is intimately familiar with the lasting (and far-reaching) effects of persistent depression and PTSD. His experience led him to alternative wellbeing practices and marked the start of a profound healing journey with mindfulness and psychedelics.

Today, he credits meditation and plant medicine with saving his life. In our conversation, we discuss Neil’s colorful journey to Beckley Retreats, as well as how Beckley Retreats is striving to making a lasting impact.

“Einstein said it best: The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious.” – Neil Markey

Key Highlights

• Why we may need to, at times, zoom out from our current circumstances and look at ‘the whole of a thing’ with a new perspective;
• How different levels of consciousness can aid us in resolving different levels of problems;
• Why a hyper focus on our problems can contribute to difficulty in finding (and embracing) an available solution;
• Why Neil is so passionate about aiding others in their journey toward change, healing, and peace;
• What is involved in the eleven-week immersion program offered by Beckley Retreats;
• What leads various individuals to enroll, and who this program may be ‘best’ for;
• Why integration and a return to ‘normal life’ is essential for implementing and maintaining the new perspectives that arise from plant therapy sessions.

In this new episode, we discuss the multifaceted, ever-nuanced concept of “creating our reality”. Our personal realities are the culmination of our daily thoughts, feelings, actions, and behaviors; or in one word, our habits. Bridging the gap between who we are and who we desire to be (or who we envision as our Higher Self) is a layered process.

First, we must notice if and where we are not currently showing up in our lives in the highest possible way. Second, we must take inventory of the daily changes required to embark on our own journey of self-transformation. We may find it helpful to ask, “How would my future self, or my Higher Self, show up in this situation?” Third, we must cultivate an unshakeable resolve in bringing our Higher Self into the current picture.

If we do this, we naturally become the person of our dreams and desires.

This process is influenced by where and with whom we spend our time; such as, our careers, our hobbies, our relationships, and so on.

In work and in business, our behavior is a direct reflection of our integrity and our inner life. The culture of the company we work for or manage influences how we show up in our personal lives; which inevitably impacts our family and friends, our communities, our cities, and on and on it goes. Professional and personal are truly indistinguishable.

It’s time to ask ourselves: Are we creating a reality that we are comfortable with, confident in, and proud of? Not only for ourselves, but fore the collective?

“Every time you say you’re going to do something, and you don’t do it, your trust in yourself diminishes ever so slightly.” – Joe Sheehey

Key Highlights

• Why our professional behaviors influence our personal lives;
• How our personality creates our personal reality;
• How to take responsibility for shifting our realities;
• Which changes are absolutely necessary on the path to self-transformation and self-realization;
• How to prioritize the daily habits that will ultimately propel you in the direction you are seeking.

It’s common to fall off track with our wellness practices, isn’t it? At times, our mental health can feel like a slippery slope. We may have periods during which we are checking off all of the boxes: journaling, meditating, walking outdoors, and practicing gratitude. However, we will also inevitably experience phases during which our emotions run haywire and our mind runs rampant. A few days, weeks, or months may pass before we pause long enough to realize, “Hmm, I don’t feel like myself anymore.”

In this episode of The Cured Collective Podcast, we discuss how common it is to find ourselves in difficult seasons of life; as well as how easy it is to slip down the mental health mountain. Life is unpredictable, and so breaks in our mental health practices will certainly happen from time to time. Your mental health practices may also evolve and shift, depending on who and where you are in your own life.

Wherever you find yourself now, we encourage you to take inventory of how you feel and how you want to feel. If these aren’t aligned, what practices can you return to; or perhaps, try for the first time? You have the power to change your current reality, and it can begin with one small step. Similarly to building physical strength and stamina, mental strength and resilience is a long-game rooted in patience, understanding, and perseverance.

We know you have it in you.

“The idea of creating the life that you want is founded in keeping the promises that you make to yourself.” – Joe Sheehey

Key Highlights

• Why changing your life requires patience and self-compassion;
• How to create changes that start from within;
• Why your self-beliefs and self-promises dictate how you feel, think, and behave;
• What to do when circumstances are tough;
• How to take responsibility for your response to the cards life deals you;
• How to own your reality.
