October 13, 2025From Burnt-Out Pro Soccer Player to Peak Energy with Theo Bergmann
In this deeply honest conversation, Sebastian welcomes Theo Bergmann, former professional footballer turned health coach, to the Happiest CEO podcast. Theo walks us through his journey from the elite world of German soccer into a courageous inner quest to reclaim his health. Along the way he reveals what chronic fatigue and brain fog taught him about the interplay of mindset, biology, and purpose, and how he now helps others heal.
From early ambition on the pitch to a health breakdown that nearly ended his career, Theo’s story illustrates the fragility behind peak performance. When a simple flu spiralled into brain fog, dizziness, fatigue, and cognitive decline, conventional medicine failed him. His turning point came via alternative frameworks—especially connecting viral loads, heavy metals, and detox strategies—and combining these with mindset, resilience, and community. Theo now coaches executives and people with chronic health challenges to rebuild not just energy, but identity, alignment, and sustainable vitality.
He doesn’t promise magic cures. Instead, he offers a compass: how to untangle symptoms, design personalized protocols, and cultivate mental spaciousness so healing isn’t a straight line but a journey of refinement.
Topics Covered
Theo’s upbringing & soccer path: boarding sports school, early match at 18
When the body fails: flu turned into brain fog & chronic fatigue
Failures of conventional medicine (normal labs, antidepressants)
Heavy metals, viruses, detox, and autoimmune perspectives
The importance (and limits) of mindset
Risk and benefits of AI in health / information overload
Postpartum health and stress on the immune system
Dangers of stimulants (caffeine, etc.) in chronic illness

September 18, 2025 Your Body Knows. Are You Listening? with Tara Shields
Tara Shields joins Sebastian in this episode to share her journey from a high-pressure fashion career in Melbourne to becoming a kinesiologist based in Byron Bay. Through kinesiology, emotional work, and energy healing, Tara guides people to unlock deeper truths, clear old beliefs, and live with more alignment, vitality, and authenticity. Her story is a powerful example of how one can move from numbing pain to cultivating self-love, purpose, and resilience.

Topics Covered
What is kinesiology & how it works (tools, modalities, muscle testing)
The subconscious mind vs. conscious mind; how beliefs are stored & affect your life

Embodied Empowerment & Breath — with Benny Berry
In this deeply resonant episode of the Helsi Show, Sebastian welcomes Benny Berry, a former underground Search & Rescue team leader, firefighter, and lifeguard, who has transformed a life of service into a path of holistic healing and breath-led transformation. After chronic pain disrupted his career and way of life, Benny redirected his energy inward, uncovering the healing power of breathwork, movement, and cold exposure.

Through thousands of Breath and Ice workshop participants, Benny has shown how tools as simple as the breath and the cold can unlock deep physical healing, emotional release, and a profound sense of presence.
