Today’s guest is Allie Mason Hoffberg. Allie is the founder of The Health Mason, a wellness and lifestyle blog and Instagram account. She launched her platform with the initial intention of sharing about nutrition and her favorite healthy recipes. Over the years however, her message has evolved to encompass all areas of what wellness means to her: both mental and physical health as well as lifestyle tips and clean beauty products.

Given that managing her anxiety was such an important part of her personal life, she felt called to share her journey. Her message naturally shifted to include this crucial topic. With health being holistic, it is relevant to her mission of empowering others to live healthier lives.

Today’s guest is Caroline Healy, an integrative health and wellness coach who focuses on gut and hormonal health, stress reduction, and overall feelings of balance. After struggling for years with digestive issues, she turned to a Functional Medicine practitioner who properly diagnosed her with Leaky Gut Syndrome. She incorporated both nutrition and lifestyle changes, and within months, witnessed her body heal. It is what inspired her to become a coach herself, so she could help others in the realm of wellness.

In our conversation, we discuss steps she took to heal her gut, which foods she incorporated, and those she had to eliminate. The role that stress management and meditation played (and continues to play) in her daily life, as well as the approach she takes with her clients.

What do you think of when you hear the question “are you living your best life?” Many people would immediately imagine things, events, and situations occurring in their outer world: their job, relationships, material possessions. But often external circumstances won’t improve or enhance happiness if one’s inner environment stays the same. When someone wants to feel better, or get happier, often taking a look inside is the missing piece to the puzzle.

Ellie Burke, a Martha Beck certified life coach, guides her clients to bring awareness to those stories, habits, behaviors, and patterns of thinking that may not be serving them. In other words, she helps her clients ask the important questions: not “who am I?” but “who can I be?” Or why is it that I want what I want, knowing that the thing that we want is tied to the way we want to feel.

In this conversation, Ellie and I (who is also my personal life coach!) get deep. Living a healthy life is holistic, and consciousness and mindfulness play a big part. We also discuss the physical side of things. When it comes to nutrition or fitness goals, what are those blocks that are preventing someone from eating right and exercise? And what can you do to empower yourself to move forward?

Tye Jensen has had his hand in the health and wellness industry for the past ten years. His journey started as a pre-med student in college, where he started to apply what he was using to his own physical wellbeing. Because the medical field traditionally lacks on the nutrition side of things, coupled with his entrepreneurial spirit, he decided to forgo going to medical school. Instead, he has founded companies rooted in the wellness space (Bare Nut Butter, Rootine).

He also has experimented with his own physical health, having tried various diets from veganism to keto, to testing his limits in fitness, and prioritizing good sleep. He eats for optimal “performance” (you’ll hear what he means by that term), but also believes in moderation and simplicity for sustainability. We discuss the four pillars of good health: nutrition, exercise, sleep, and stress management, and his philosophy and practices across each one. We also talk about “bio-hacking,” a buzz word in the wellness world, and how he no longer applies that to himself. Most importantly, he encourages being an advocate for your own health, and how genetic testing can provide you with powerful information about your body and needs.
