Let’s Talk Sh*t

Heart health is not just about cholesterol numbers and avoiding fat.

In this episode, Lisa breaks down what she learned after performing hundreds of heart sound recordings and seeing firsthand how nutrition, stress, mineral deficiencies, and protein intake directly impact how the heart beats.

From the teenage vegan athlete whose heart graph showed almost no peaks, to the executive whose dangerously low heart rate signaled deeper adrenal fatigue, this episode connects the dots between amino acids, B vitamins, minerals, stress, and real heart performance.

If you have been told to avoid eggs, butter, and red meat for heart health, this conversation will challenge everything you thought you knew

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• The heart is a muscle and requires complete amino acids to function properly.

• B vitamins drive electrical conduction and heartbeat strength.

• Mineral deficiencies can show up as fast or slow heart rhythms.

• Chronic stress directly impacts heart function through the adrenals.

• Fat free diets contributed to metabolic dysfunction, not heart protection.

• Real food supports heart health better than processed alternatives.

KEY MOMENTS

02:23 – Why Your Heart Deserves Daily Attention Lisa explains why the heart is the first organ to appear and the last to shut down.

12:59 – The 16 Year Old Athlete’s Heart Graph Shock A vegan teenage soccer player’s heart graph shows almost no strength peaks.

16:57 – One Week of Eggs Changes Everything Her heart graph dramatically improves after adding egg whites.

28:55 – The CEO With a 34 Beat Heart Rate A dangerously low heart rate reveals severe adrenal fatigue.

38:26 – The Fat Free Myth and the Rise of Disease How the anti fat movement contributed to metabolic dysfunction.

If your dog pulls, lunges, ignores commands, or feels out of control, this episode may change the way you see everything.

Lisa sits down with internationally respected dog trainer Larry Krohn to talk about the real reason dogs struggle. It is not stubbornness. It is not dominance. And it is not bad luck. It is confusion.

From leash reactivity and overuse of food rewards to breed mismatches and overhumanizing dogs, Larry breaks down what most owners get wrong and how to turn chaos into calm through clarity, play, and leadership.

This conversation is not about controlling your dog. It is about becoming the kind of person your dog can trust.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• Dogs need clarity, not structure for the sake of structure.

• Too much freedom too soon creates lifelong behavioral issues.

• Overusing food rewards weakens motivation.

• Play builds trust faster than constant obedience drills.

• Walking on tight leashes often creates the very reactivity owners hate.

• Gut health and overvaccination can impact behavior more than people realize

KEY MOMENTS

04:22 – “We Completely Screwed It Up” Larry shares how he ruined his first dog and how that mistake shaped his career.

13:16 – The Two Biggest Mistakes Dog Owners Make Wrong breed and too much freedom too soon.

21:43 – Why Redirecting Reactivity Often Fails Larry explains the misunderstanding around punishment and reinforcement.

29:43 – How Leash Tension Creates Aggression The everyday walking mistake that teaches dogs to react harder.

47:47 – Play Is More Powerful Than Obedience Why building joy and trust changes behavior faster than constant commands.

Sam Garrett grew up in and out of emergency rooms with asthma and severe eczema. From ICU visits to hospital stays at National Jewish, his childhood revolved around medications, steroids, and trying to control symptoms that never fully went away.

But what ultimately changed everything wasn’t another prescription.

In this episode, Lisa sits down with her oldest son to unpack the turning points: the $100 elimination experiment, the moment milk triggered immediate wheezing, the law school years of dialing in nutrition for mental performance, and the surprising connection between food, inflammation, lung function, and focus.

If you’ve ever wondered whether what you eat really affects your asthma, skin, sleep, or energy, this conversation is real-life proof that it does.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• Food directly impacts asthma, eczema, and inflammation.

• The itch-scratch cycle can be interrupted, but root cause matters.

• Elimination diets reveal more than you expect.

• Mental clarity and professional performance are deeply tied to nutrition.

• Sleep, stress, and food all compound, for better or worse.

• Listening to your body is a skill that must be learned.

KEY MOMENTS

00:03:54 – The ER ScareSam recalls the kindergarten hospital visit when doctors said he was “lucky he’s alive.”

00:11:16 – The $100 Elimination Experiment. At age 12, three weeks without dairy and gluten dramatically changed his skin, sleep, and breathing.

Linda Vetick was diagnosed with stage three bilateral breast cancer at 45 years old. What followed wasn’t just treatment — it was a decade-long battle with pain, exhaustion, lymphedema, hormone disruption, weight gain, and the physical aftermath of aggressive cancer care.

In this episode, Linda shares what life really looks like after survival. From chemotherapy and radiation to working 12–15 hour days as a business owner and hairdresser, she opens up about the invisible toll cancer leaves behind — and how she finally reclaimed her body, clarity, and quality of life.

• Cancer doesn’t end when treatment ends — healing can take years

• Chronic pain and inflammation are not “normal” after survival

• Food, sleep, and stress management play a massive role in recovery

In this episode, Lisa Garrett pulls back the curtain on why so many people stay stuck—even when they say they want change. From health and money to relationships and identity, she challenges the stories we tell ourselves to avoid discomfort.

Through deeply personal experiences, including risking everything to heal her body, Lisa explores how “money objections” often mask fear, safety, and resistance to growth. This is a candid conversation about listening to your gut, getting uncomfortable, and choosing yourself before rock bottom forces the decision.

If you’ve ever felt wired and tired, overextended, or quietly unhappy while telling yourself “now’s not the right time,” this episode will hit close to home.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• Money is often the excuse—not the real reason—we avoid change

• Staying stuck always has a cost, even when it feels safer

• Growth requires discomfort and trusting yourself before it makes sense

• Saying yes to everyone else often means saying no to yourself

• You don’t need rock bottom to give yourself permission to change

KEY MOMENTS

00:52 – Lisa explains why she was taught to stay quiet and how finding her voice shaped this podcast

03:17 – How life experiences, trauma, and labels quietly determine how we show up

06:53 – Feeling “wired and tired” and the warning signs of living on empty

11:24 – What happens when you remove your backup plans and fully commit to change

20:52 – Why you deserve the life you want now, not someday

In this deeply moving episode, Lisa sits down with Angie Hanson to talk about grief in its rawest, most life-altering forms. Angie shares the devastating loss of her one-year-old son, followed by the terminal cancer and death of her husband, and then the loss of her brother—all within just a few years.

Rather than shutting down, Angie chose to survive, rebuild, and eventually create meaning through grief. From journaling and sleep to parenting through unimaginable loss, this conversation explores what it truly looks like to live after tragedy—and how grief doesn’t end, but transforms.

This episode is for anyone who has experienced loss of any kind or who wants to understand better how to show up for others when words feel inadequate.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• Grief is not linear and never truly ends—it becomes part of who you are
• Children process loss differently and often carry unexpected resilience
• Survival after loss is a daily choice, sometimes made minute by minute
• Being seen and acknowledged in grief matters more than “the right words.”
• Loss can become purpose when pain is transformed into service and hope

Through personal stories, real-life examples, and decades of experience, Lisa shows how focusing on prevention, nourishment, and mindset creates resilience at every age.

In Episode 31 of Let’s Talk Sht*, Lisa Garrett shares a deeply personal story from the past eight weeks — navigating her dog Leo’s unexpected thyroid cancer diagnosis — and the powerful life lessons it uncovered along the way.

What started as a health scare for her beloved German Shepherd became a masterclass in intuition, advocacy, energy, and healing. Through observing Leo’s behavior, responses to treatment, and natural instincts, Lisa draws parallels to human health and reminds listeners why one opinion is never enough and why quality of life always matters.

In this episode, Lisa explores:

• Why you should never stop at a single diagnosis
• How animals teach us to read energy and intuition better than labs
• The danger of treatments that rob you of quality of life
• What hunger, sleep, and behavior changes are really telling you
• Why staying present — not future-focused — is healing in itself

04:54 – The first lesson: reading energy and body language

13:58 – Don’t stop at one diagnosis — be your own advocate
