Live Purely with Elizabeth

This week, Elizabeth is joined by Danielle Duboise, co-founder of Sakara and one of the most thoughtful voices shaping today’s wellness landscape. Danielle brings a human-centered, emotionally intelligent perspective to food, one rooted in nourishment, not restriction. Danielle shares her personal journey from pre-med studies to discovering food as medicine and building Sakara’s plant-based philosophy around joy, gut health, and cellular nourishment. She and Elizabeth chat about the difference between nutrition and nourishment, the overlooked role of emotional connection and joy in eating, and why focusing on individual nutrients misses the bigger picture. Danielle also reflects on building a mission-driven brand over more than a decade: scaling consciously, staying true to her values, and helping others unlearn shame-based food narratives.

Happy New Year! To kick off 2026, Elizabeth welcomes registered dietitian and integrative nutrition expert Ashley Koff, RD, founder of The Better Nutrition Program and author of the forthcoming Your Best Shot: The Personalized System for Optimal Weight Health - GLP-1 Shot or Not. With over 25 years in the field, Ashley offers a grounded, science-backed perspective on the “weight health era,” especially the growing conversation around GLP-1 medications and metabolic hormones.

In this episode, Ashley demystifies the hype around weight loss drugs and reveals why the real focus should be on your body’s own “switch”, the weight health hormones that regulate hunger, satisfaction, and metabolism. She breaks down the importance of looking beyond the number on the scale, explaining why bone, muscle, and visceral fat composition matter so much more.

This week, Elizabeth sits down with Brandon Epstein, a high-performance coach and author who works with elite athletes, UFC champions, and founders to unlock flow states and overcome subconscious limitations. In their chat, Brandon shares what happens when outward success no longer brings inner peace, and how the stories we inherit about worth, responsibility, and identity drive anxiety and burnout.

Brandon opens up about his own transformation: from college football player to serial entrepreneur, to healer and mindset coach. They talk about the power of visualization, gratitude, and stillness as tools for true transformation, and why self-acceptance, not more hustle, is often the missing piece in unlocking lasting clarity and energy.

Nourishing Traditions

Elizabeth’s flying solo for this one and sharing the real story behind Purely Elizabeth - the part with no business plan, a muffin mix made in her mom’s kitchen, and a triathlon that unexpectedly changed everything. From stumbling into the wellness world to figuring out CPG on the fly, she walks through the early days of building the brand without a roadmap. You’ll hear the wins, the missteps, and the decisions that could’ve gone either way, plus why staying mission-led (and a little weird) has always been worth it.

Elizabeth sits down with Gail Becker, the founder of Caulipower, for a fun and inspiring conversation about what led her to take the leap from corporate comms to cauliflower-based innovation. Gail shares the convergence of three life-altering moments, her father’s passing, her son’s celiac diagnosis, and a growing sense of dissatisfaction in her career, that pushed her toward entrepreneurship, despite having no food industry experience. Together, they talk about the magic and mayhem of the early Caulipower days, navigating massive growth, building a team, defining your personal success, and staying true to your “why.”
