Today's guest is a CrossFit Games athlete, business owner and mother of (very) soon to be three - MIRANDA ALCARAZ.

Miranda tells stories of competing, coaching, extreme recovery, and the start of her business and passion - Street Parking. Five years later, Street Parking has become so much more than she and  co-owner and husband Julian had ever dreamed. She explains why you don't need a gym or fancy equipment to get and stay fit for life - for YOUR life.

Oh yeah. She also apparently makes a killer cinnamon roll...

Most recently noted for his work on the NBC show Blindspot as , the Amazon Series Red Oaks, and his reoccurring role on the multi-Emmy winning show Schitt’s Creek, actor Ennis Esmer dishes up some great conversation.  Heidi had the opportunity to sit down (virtually) in July to chat with him about his life, food, and the importance of staying connected in a time when connections look far different than they used to. He also made Heidi blush…a lot...

On today's episode... you’ll hear the conclusion of this interview with Zoë Bell where we get into more of her crazy amazing career as a top Hollywood stuntwoman, stunt coordinator and actor as well as where her career is headed now - and of COURSE, we talk a bunch about FOOD.

This episode's guest got her big break in New Zealand when she stepped in to be the new stunt double for Lucy Lawless in the series Xena: Warrior Princess. With notoriety from the show, she got on a plane to the US to score her first major film role in the iconic Quintin Tarantino film KILL BILL, parts 1 and 2 as the stunt double for “THE BRIDE” played by Uma Thurman.

Her credits following that film include other Tarantino films such as the stuntwoman centric movie Deathproof - where she played her own namesake and was her own stunt double, followed by an avalanche of other major films and television shows including Alias, Inglorious Basterds, The Proposal, Final Destination, Thor: Ragnarok, and making her full stunt coordinating debut WHILE also acting in the Tarantino film Once Upon a Time in Hollywood where she (ironically) played the part of the stunt coordinator’s wife opposite Kurt Russell.

She has expanded her extremely successful career as one of Hollywoods top stuntwomen to include actress, producer and now director.  She recently spearheaded and directed the viral quarantine video “Boss Bitch Fight Challenge” and has stunt coordinated AND acted in the upcoming film “Haymaker.”

Not only is this person undoubtedly one of the most hard working, talented women I’ve ever met, she has a heart of gold, and stomach of steel. Her kindness and character know no bounds, and she continues to inspire and educate the next generation of women in this business with her candidness and desire to connect and collaborate.  She puts ketchup on her pizza, and beans on her toast. I am more than thrilled to introduce to you, my personal inspiration, Zoe Bell.

Dr. Charlie Miraglia MD is a Board Certified Clinical Pathologist, Transfusion Medicine Specialist, and healthcare executive.

He also serves as a Clinical Education Consultant for Obris Education. 

Heidi and Dr. Miraglia talk a bit about Covid-19 and how blood can be be the key to one form of treatment that he has seen work, how important it is (especially now) to donate blood, as well as his ideal diet and recommendations. There is definitely research that can be done to find information on how to safely live on a ketogenic diet, but Dr. Miraglia explains why he thinks we should be cautious when starting any sort of diet or fad diet.  One of the more sustainable diets he actually DOES recommend is the Mediterranean diet - which includes fish, other leaner proteins in moderate amounts, and tons of veggies and fats like extra virgin Olive Oil.
