What if your greatest transformation began with a pot of broth and a commitment to take full responsibility for your life?

In this episode, Zack Langlois sits down with Justin LaRue, a multidisciplinary holistic health practitioner and creator of a high-integrity bone broth line. But this conversation goes far beyond food—it’s a powerful exploration of emotional resilience, radical ownership, and the lifelong pursuit of personal truth.

Justin shares how his path through physical wellness opened the door to deeper self-inquiry, and how bone broth—simple, ancestral, nutrient-dense—became both a tool for healing and a metaphor for building something nourishing from life’s discarded parts.

Justin invites listeners to look beyond surface-level wellness and into the messy, rewarding work of becoming someone they can be proud of—moment by moment, meal by meal. Whether you’re just beginning your health journey or refining your path, this episode will meet you where you are.

This one is for anyone who’s ready to stop outsourcing their health, reclaim their narrative, and commit to a more intentional life.

What if healing wasn’t just physical—but energetic, emotional, and even vibrational? In this episode, Zack Langlois sits down with Nadeem Jiwani, founder of Float Valley and a passionate voice in the evolving world of biohacking and frequency-based healing.

This isn’t your typical wellness chat. Nadeem shares his personal path from psychedelic exploration to building Float Valley as a community hub for alternative healing.

They explore how practices like floating, scalar wave therapy, and the Energy Enhancement System are helping people reconnect with their intuition, shift perspective, and find deeper alignment. But Nadeem also keeps it grounded, emphasizing that healing isn’t about chasing every new gadget—it’s about building conviction, following joy, and using tools as support rather than crutches.

Whether you're skeptical or all-in on energy healing, this episode invites you to look deeper—into yourself, your beliefs, and the unseen forces that shape your well-being. Nadeem’s work isn’t just about building wellness centers; it’s about creating safe spaces for people to remember their power, reconnect to joy, and access healing on every level.

When it comes to health, most people are handed surface-level solutions: a new diet, another supplement, a five-step “fix.” But what happens when you start digging deeper—into the gut, the past, and the soil itself?

In this episode, Zack Langlois welcomes holistic health coach Brandon Moase for a wide-ranging conversation that challenges how we think about wellness. Brandon shares his story of growing up overweight, dependent on medications, and disconnected from his body. His transformation into a gut health expert is rooted not just in science, but in personal experience and deep environmental awareness.

They unpack how trauma shapes our biology, why antibiotics aren’t as harmless as we think, and how sustainable health means looking beyond calorie counts to consider the quality of our food, our air, and even our water.

This isn’t about fear-mongering or biohacking for the sake of trends—it’s about building foundational awareness and reconnecting with how our bodies and environments truly work.

If you’re looking to move beyond symptom management and into the root causes of wellness, this episode will help shift your perspective—and possibly your daily habits. From gut healing to mitochondrial care, Brandon makes a compelling case for looking at health through a wider, more grounded lens.

What if the key to feeling better isn’t more supplements, stricter routines, or trendier tools—but learning how to listen to your body again?

In this episode, Zack Langlois is joined by Dr. Emma Whelpton to unpack what it really means to live well. This isn’t another checklist of hacks—it’s a deep dive into the balance between freedom and discipline, structure and self-awareness, and how small, daily decisions shape our long-term health.

Dr. Emma brings clarity to the power of breathwork, not just as a calming practice, but as a physiological tool for managing stress, enhancing focus, and building resilience. Together, they explore how understanding your nervous system can help you make informed choices about when to push, when to rest, and how to return to a state of balance.

Dr. Emma shares the concept of having 23,000 opportunities a day—one for each breath—to reconnect with your body and recalibrate your health. With a background in both clinical practice and lived experience, she guides listeners toward the idea that feeling good in your body isn’t a luxury—it’s a gateway to happiness.

If you're someone who's tired of chasing perfection in your health routine, and ready to come back to what actually works, this conversation is a refreshing reset.
