Number 1: Breast Cancer Screening Is Broken: What Every Woman Should Know w/ Dr. Jennifer Simmons
I love this conversation so much. At its core, it's about empowerment — education, knowing your options, and taking charge of your own health instead of waiting for someone else to hand you a plan. Dr. Jenn Simmons has spent her career cutting through mainstream noise around breast health, and I love how committed she is to creating something new instead of just accepting the way things have always been done. If you've ever felt confused or scared by the conversation around breast cancer risk, hormones, or screening, this episode will change the way you think about all of it. Here are a few of my biggest takeaways from our conversation: You need a health plan, not just a treatment plan. Conventional medicine is built to treat sickness — it's rarely built to help you build actual health. Dr. Jenn breaks down why so many women are missing this piece entirely. Mammograms miss more than you'd think. Standard mammograms miss up to 40% of breast cancers, and Dr. Jenn explains why the diagnostic difference between mammogram and non-mammogram screening isn't as clear-cut as we've been led to believe. Not every cancer cell becomes cancer. Roughly 25% of the time, cancer cells found in breast tissue never actually progress into cancer — a fact that changes how we should think about diagnosis and next steps. Screening needs to look at the whole picture. Dr. Jenn points out that similar numbers of women die from fractures as from breast cancer, yet our screening conversations rarely account for context like this. You can't make an informed decision without information. From dense breast tissue to hormone replacement therapy, Dr. Jenn walks through what women actually need to know — not just what they've been told — before making decisions about their own health. Send this to a women in your life who needs it! Bio of the guest: Dr. Jenn Simmons didn't just step away from breast cancer surgery — she walked out and sparked a revolution. As the founder of PerfeQTion™ Imaging, she's disrupting the fear, confusion, and medical dogma that have controlled women's breast health for generations. At PerfeQTion™ Imaging, she's transforming how women are screened for breast cancer with technology that's safer, smarter, and kinder to the body — no radiation, no compression, no trauma, because peace of mind shouldn't hurt. She's the author of The Smart Woman's Guide to Breast Cancer and host of the Keeping Abreast podcast, and she's on a mission to open PerfeQTion™ Imaging centers across the country and around the world — giving every woman access to safe, painless breast cancer screening, and the power to prevent a diagnosis instead of just reacting to one.

Number 2: The Neuroscience of Becoming Your Best Self w/ Craig Manning
This might genuinely be my favorite episode I've ever recorded! Dr. Craig Manning completely shifted how I think about stress, fear, and the stories we tell ourselves every single day. I walked away from this conversation seeing my own mind differently, and I think you will too — especially if you're a parent trying to raise kids who talk to themselves with kindness instead of criticism. Here are a few of my biggest takeaways from our conversation: Fear isn't real — we create it. Dr. Manning explained that fear doesn't exist in reality; it's something our brain manufactures. Once you understand that, you can start choosing a different response. Learning is the opposite of fear. The more we're in a state of genuine learning and curiosity, the less room fear has to take over — and chronic stress makes learning (and remembering) so much harder. Self-talk is neuroscience, not just a buzzword. We hear "self-talk" everywhere on social media, but Dr. Manning breaks down what's actually happening in the brain — and how inaccurate self-talk quietly reshapes our behavior. Discipline and self-criticism are not the same thing. One builds you up, one tears you down, and most of us have been mixing them up for years. Kids learn their self-talk from watching us. One small shift in how we speak to ourselves tonight could start rewiring how our kids talk to themselves for life. Everyone could benefit from listening to this podcast! Bio of the guest: Dr. Craig Manning is a Human Performance Consultant and bestselling author of The Fearless Mind: Five Essential Steps to Higher Performance. He's been an Adjunct Professor of Performance Psychology at Brigham Young University for over fifteen years and serves as a Mental Strength Coach for the university's athletic department. His clients include the Milwaukee Bucks, US Ski and Snowboarding teams, Red Bull High Performance, and organizations around the world. Dr. Manning's research shows that Cognitive Control — the ability to control one's own mind — predicts success better than IQ or family wealth. His formula: Potential + Training – Interference = High Performance. Through his methodology, he helps individuals, teams, and organizations acquire the mental performance skills that show up consistently in high performers, unlocking greater potential at the core.

Number 3: Constipated to Consistent: What Your Kid's Gut Is Trying to Tell You w/ Dr. Sheila Kilbane
I love episodes like this one, because they remind you that the answers we're looking for are usually simpler than we think. We talk to a lot of experts on this show, but what stood out most about this conversation with Dr. Sheila Kilbane is how practical it all is — real, everyday solutions for something so many parents deal with and rarely talk about. If your child struggles with constipation, mood swings, sleep issues, or just seems "off" and you can't quite figure out why, this episode connects the dots in a way that actually makes sense. No complicated fixes here, just real answers, rooted in simple everyday practices. Here are a few of my biggest takeaways from our conversation: Constipation is way more common than we think. It's not some rare issue, it's affecting a huge number of kids and adults, often quietly. The gut and the brain are constantly talking to each other. Backed-up digestion can show up as irritability, meltdowns, anxiety, or trouble focusing, long before there's an obvious tummy complaint. Most of our serotonin is made in the gut, not the brain. Which means gut health has a direct line to how our kids actually feel, day to day. Sleep, mood, and poop are more connected than you'd guess. Restless nights and rough moods often trace back to what's happening in the gut. The warning signs aren't always digestive. Things like dark circles or skin bumps can be early gut clues most parents never learn to connect. Tune in now and share this one with a friend who needs to hear it! About Dr. Sheila Kilbane Sheila Kilbane, MD, is a board-certified pediatrician, TEDx speaker, best-selling author, and founder of Infinite Health in Charlotte, NC. For more than two decades, she has been on the leading edge of transforming pediatric healthcare through an integrative medicine approach that addresses the root causes of eczema, asthma, allergies, and gut issues. Her book, Healthy Kids, Happy Moms, outlines her seven-step process, demonstrating that nutrition, combined with conventional medicine, offers a powerful tool to slow the epidemic of chronic illness in our children.

Number 4: JI ATHLETES: From a Mental Health Break to Fueling a Grand Slam Comeback w/ Amanda Anisimova
In the coming months, you're going to see some really exciting collaborations coming to Just Ingredients. We're partnering with world-class athletes who understand that when performance matters, ingredients matter — and there is no better place to start than with Amanda Anisimova. Amanda has been so open about her mental health journey, including her decision to step away from professional tennis in 2023 at the height of her career. That kind of vulnerability is rare in the professional athlete space, where the pressure to push through no matter what often runs so deep. I appreciate how honestly she talks about that season of her life, and I think this conversation is going to mean a lot to anyone who's ever felt like they needed permission to stop and take care of themselves first. This episode is coming out right before the US Open, and we are cheering Amanda on every step of the way! Here are a few of my biggest takeaways from our conversation: 1. Stepping away can be the strongest move you make. Amanda opens up about walking away from tennis in 2023 for her mental health, and what that journey looked like for her. 2. Rest looks different than we think. She shares what genuine rest looked like during her break, and the changes she made during that season that she still holds onto today. 3. Coming back on her own terms. Amanda talks about what made her feel ready to return to the court, and how she manages pressure differently now. 4. Fueling a body built for the world stage. From what "clean ingredients" means to her as a professional athlete to the routines she leans on most for training and recovery, Amanda gets real about what it actually takes behind the scenes. 5. Redefining success. She opens up about her support system, what she'd tell a young athlete, life on tour, and how her definition of success has changed since her comeback. Share this episode with your favorite tennis fan! Bio of the guest: Amanda Anisimova is a professional tennis player and one of the top-ranked women in the sport today. After stepping away from the tour in 2023 to prioritize her mental health, Amanda made a powerful return — reaching back-to-back Grand Slam finals at Wimbledon and the US Open in 2025 and climbing into the world's top 10. Known for her powerful, aggressive playing style, Amanda has become just as respected for her honesty about burnout, rest, and what it really takes to build a sustainable career at the highest level of professional sports.

Number 5: How to Keep Moving Forward Through Hard Times w/ Ashleigh & Kara
In this episode, I’m sitting down with my friends Ashley and Kara for an honest, lighthearted, and powerful conversation about healing, resilience, and what it actually looks like to move through hard seasons of life. We laughed, we got vulnerable, and we talked through the real-life tools that have supported us through mental health challenges, business pressures, and everything in between. I left this conversation feeling so grateful for their openness—and I think you will too. Here are a few key takeaways from our conversation: The power of being a problem solver: One thing that really stood out is the mindset of “we’ll figure it out.” Whether it’s in business, motherhood, or personal struggles, approaching challenges with curiosity instead of panic can completely shift the outcome. There’s something powerful about not getting stuck, and instead choosing to move forward one step at a time. Healing is not one-dimensional: We talked a lot about how healing rarely comes from just one thing. It’s often a combination of supports—nutrition, movement, therapy, rest, community, and more. When we think of health as “multiple hoses on a fire,” it removes the pressure of needing one perfect solution and instead opens the door to a more holistic approach. You are not alone: Both Ashley and Kara shared parts of their mental health journeys, including seasons of depression and the long process of finding what truly helps. One of the most important reminders from this conversation is that your struggle does not define you—and there is hope, support, and help available even when it feels far away. I’m so grateful for this conversation and the reminder that healing looks different for everyone, but no one has to walk it alone. I hope this episode meets you where you are and gives you encouragement for your own journey.
