Fear blocks healing, and the dental chair makes it obvious.

We sit down with Dr. DeSanti, a biological dentist in Arizona, to explore how a calm nervous system improves outcomes—from extractions and root canals to daily care. He shares a slower, relationship-focused approach that listens first and treats second.

Learn how biological dentistry works in plain terms: CBCT 3D imaging for hidden infections and airway issues, oral microbiome testing for targeted care, and bone readings that reveal unhealed sites. 

Discover when a ceramic implant, ozone therapy, or careful root canal evaluation matters, and why immune resilience drives better decisions than X-rays alone.

We cover tools to shift fight-or-flight into rest-and-repair: guided breathwork, weighted blankets, soothing sounds, essential oils, and faith or gratitude practices. 

Parents will also hear how birth trauma, tongue ties, and airway health influence kids’ behavior and development.

If dental visits feel stressful, rushed, or dismissive, this conversation gives an evidence-informed, patient-centered path to safer, calmer care.

One word surfaced during breathwork and shifted everything – Boundaries.

This episode traces the move from people pleasing to calm, loving limits that protect your energy and change how you show up with your kids and partner. When access to your time changes, others may react. 

That response reveals old patterns. It does not mean you are wrong.

We share practical ways to create an evening buffer so you return regulated and present. Quiet time, prayer, light, movement, breath. 

We break down co-regulation, why some kids seek conflict, and how faith keeps you steady when guilt shows up. 

Boundaries are love in action. They protect your capacity so you can lead with patience and care.

What if your body is not working against you, but trying to tell you the truth?

In this episode, healer and author Joyce Brinton explains how stored stress, negative self-talk, and limiting labels can shape physical symptoms over time.

She reframes illness as feedback, not failure, and introduces energy as the space around the body that absorbs emotional and mental patterns. When fear and shame repeat, the body carries the load.

When language and awareness change, healing can begin.

Joyce shares practical tools you can use right away. She walks through ABC therapy to separate what happened from the meaning you assigned to it, forgiveness as a way to calm the nervous system, and daily energy hygiene to clear emotional residue. 

The conversation also explores muscle testing as a fast way to access truth, cut through mental loops, and reconnect with purpose.

Whether you come from faith, curiosity, or skepticism, this episode meets you where you are. You do not need a belief system to heal, only a reason that matters to you. 

If you feel stuck, drained, or disconnected from your body, this conversation offers a grounded path back to clarity, energy, and health.

In this deeply honest and powerful episode, I sit down with Steve Polski to explore what happens when life keeps knocking — and we finally answer.

Steve shares his personal journey through alcohol addiction, divorce, and the moment everything changed. He opens up about how God kept calling him back to alignment — and how faith, family, and fitness became the foundation that rebuilt his life from the inside out.

We also dive into Steve’s work in regenerative agriculture and the beef industry, uncovering how healing doesn’t just happen in the body — it begins in the soil. We talk about why nutrient-dense food matters, how healthy soil produces food that truly nourishes us, and how regenerative farming can restore land, ecosystems, and human health.

This episode weaves together faith, resilience, stewardship, and responsibility — reminding us that regeneration is possible in our lives, our families, and the systems that feed us.

If you care about healing at the root, living by Faith–Family–Fitness values, and understanding how the food we eat connects to the land beneath our feet, this conversation is for you.

Your body speaks before your mind catches up.

Melissa also explores how suppressed emotions impact energy and how breathwork, observation, and faith help release tension and restore calm.

In this powerful episode, we explore the fascinating intersection between science, sound healing, and the frequencies that influence the health of our cells. Sound healer Katie Jo joins me to break down what many people think is “woo woo,” and shows us how sound is actually one of the most ancient — and now scientifically studied — tools for restoring balance in the body.

Together, we talk about how vibration, frequency, and resonance affect the nervous system, why hospitals around the world are integrating sound therapies, and how the sounds we can’t hear may still be impacting our cellular health. From everyday noise pollution to intentional healing frequencies, we uncover what the body is responding to beneath the surface.

We also explore the sacred role of prayer, breath, and intention, and how these practices — without making medical claims — can create measurable shifts in the body’s stress response. Whether through sound bowls, spoken prayer, humming, or simply tuning into silence, we discuss how these practices help your system return to peace, clarity, and coherence.

If you’ve ever wondered:

“Is sound healing real? Why does it feel so calming? Can frequencies actually shift my body? — This episode is for you.

This conversation is the bridge between faith and physics, ancient wisdom and modern research, and the seen and unseen energies that shape our well-being.

✨ Come with an open mind and an open heart — because what you learn here might be exactly what your body has been needing to feel more grounded, peaceful, and alive.
