Time for a catch-up with Lianna and Claire! This week they dive into why Claire's eye looks like it exploded, finally feeling this "love" thing everyone has been talking about, the emotional snowball when you start sleeping, and how wellness goes down a lot easier with a side of dick jokes.

Dr Jack Kreindler joins Lianna this week to discuss how his approach to health and human behavior has lead to a research expedition to the South Pole, his own participation in a cage fight, and the founding and advising of many pioneering physiological and mental health ventures including his current, WellFounded. They also debunk the theory: "breakfast is the most important meal of the day."

Lianna chats with former client, Tialer Maxwell, about her journey from before joining the Mind Body Elevate program to living the dream life she manifested. Tialer was at a low point after a break-up and job change when she discovered Lianna but after a few weeks, the entire group noticed the switch in her when the tides started turning. She credits her work with Lianna for helping her find that confidence again which led to a loving fiancé and fulfilling life.

After being asked what her top 3 tips for wellness were at a recent party, Lianna decided it'd be fun to chat a little more in depth about the fundamentals of her coaching. In this episode, she is joined by producer, Claire to share the focus areas that can benefit everyone, explain how she plays detective with you to discover the best course of unique action, and say how she doesn't want you to wait another second not feeling your best.

Birds of a feather really do flock together. Even in Lisbon. This week's guest, Haley Knauer, and Lianna immediately bonded over their histories with autoimmune disease, studies while attending Institute of Integrative Nutrition, opinions on the use of data in health, and having buns of steel from walking the hills of Portugal.

What's the difference between confidence and self worth? What's the difference between like and love? And what's the difference between an open relationship and polyamory? They are just a few of the questions asked in this week's catch-up with Lianna and Claire.

Melissa Haywood is an inspiration. She started Lianna's Mind Body Elevate group this spring with hope to help her eating habits but found so much more. A healthy love for herself and understanding the why's behind her actions. She's now actually living the life she's been dreaming of.

Melissa is a Case Specialist/Consultant for the Department of Child Services. She has one child, an 18-year-old son, who has recently made her an empty-nester. As her son became an adult, Melissa found herself needing to find life outside of motherhood. After her son graduated high school, she moved to a major city and is finding the life she put on hold while raising a child. Melissa enjoys group fitness, reading for self-improvement, and new motorcycle adventures.

Enjoy this extra special episode of Lianna chatting with her dad, Dr. Paul "Howie" Nielsen. They reminisce about their family adventures with agitated hippos and curious gorillas, how Lianna was a headstrong child who loved to melt crayons, and how Howie's curiosity in maps and people led to such an enriching life.

Howie was raised in Chicago by loving, but overprotective parents — children of Scandinavian immigrants fresh from rural Minnesota. This forged his parenting philosophy of giving Lianna as much leeway as possible.

His mother chose the universities he applied to and picked the cheapest option. Howie stumbled his way through biology, chemistry, and public health before getting his doctor of dental surgery. He used his degree to travel the world, doing volunteer work in six different countries.

His wife Karen became pregnant with Lianna while they were working in a Philippine orphanage, forcing a lifestyle reassessment. The next 22 years were dedicated to a private practice in Maine where they raised their daughter.

Howie’s passion in life is natural history, especially birds. Once Lianna was fledged, Howie and Karen worked in wildlife conservation in Southeast Asia for 11 years where he contributed to the discovery of the Cambodian tailorbird.

He is now retired, pursuing birds locally in Maine and around the world, and tending to his flower garden with Karen.

Lianna chats with friend, client, theatrical talent, Laurie Schaefer Fenton about everything from their dog meet cute, how right and wrong Laurie was about the Mind Body Elevate program, discovering Human Design, and her old neighbor drilling into her kitchen.

She has been through Lianna’s Mind Body Elevate program three times and has seen remarkable changes utilizing many of her suggested dietary, mindset, and wellness techniques.
