Toxic Free with KB

Tyler Wakstein is the founder of Eudēmonia, the biggest wellness summit in the world, and what he said about community, optimization, and what it actually means to live a good life? Yeah, I haven't stopped thinking about it.

We go deep on the loneliness epidemic, wellness without community, and the ancient Greek concept that Tyler built an entire movement around. 

This one hit differently.

What we cover:
●       Why wellness is a team sport, and what you're missing if you're doing it alone

●       The one mindset shift that sets you free (your disposition is a choice)

●       What "Eudēmonia" actually means, and why Tyler says most people are chasing the wrong thing

●       How to under-optimize on purpose (and why it's actually good for you)

●       His non-negotiables for a life well-lived

What if the invisible things in your home - the Wi-Fi, the Bluetooth, the devices you sleep next to every night - are quietly adding to your toxic load?

Ben Salem - inventor, innovator, and founder of WaveBlock - spent years testing every EMF-blocking product on the market, found that most of them actually amplified radiation, and then built something that worked. He had it tested at the same labs Apple and Samsung use. And now he's sharing something on this episode that has never been made public before.

This conversation goes way beyond EMFs. Ben and his entire family went through a devastating mold illness that went undiagnosed for years, until a mold-sniffing dog found a two-foot mold colony hidden under the HVAC condenser in their attic. His story will make you look at your own home very differently.

Here's what we get into:

• What EMFs actually are and why distance is your best friend. 
• The five antennas in your phone and what they're doing when the device touches your body. 
• Why FaceTime emits the highest radiation of any phone activity. 
• How Ben's family went years without a mold diagnosis, and what finally cracked it. 
• Why most EMF-blocking products on the market don't work, and some actually make it worse. 
• The whole-house air scrubber hack Ben built for under $1,000 that he and Dr. Pompa independently invented. 

The connection between leaky gut, glutathione, and toxic overload. And the world exclusive reveal of Ben's newest invention, the first wallpaper ever created that reduces up to 98-99% of radiation, is paintable, peel-and-stick, VOC-free, and works even in humid climates.

This one is for anyone who has ever wondered what's actually in the walls around them, and what they can do about it.

If you've ever felt stuck in the same patterns and can't figure out why, this episode is going to stop you cold.

Mastin Kipp built his entire life's work around one powerful reframe: stop asking why the addiction. Start asking why the pain. As a trauma-informed coach and nervous system expert who has worked alongside Tony Robbins and coached some of the world's most successful entrepreneurs and creators, he brings clarity to some of the most complex human experiences in a way that actually lands.

What you'll take away:
●       Why addiction is a regulation strategy, and what that reframe changes about how we approach healing.

●       How fear shows up in the body before your mind even catches up, and why that's not your fault.

●       The three-word framework.

●       Why the female brain's ability to hold everything at once is a superpower, not dysregulation.

●       The difference between being victimized and living as a victim at identity level, and why that distinction is everything.

●       How to navigate religious trauma and form a personal relationship with a higher power that's entirely your own.

●       Why your differences in a relationship don't have to pull you apart, they can actually grow you.

●       The one thing Mastin says to every single person who walks in carrying a trauma story.

This is not a fear-based conversation. It's a grounded, empowering reminder that you are so much more than what you've been through, and that healing is really just coming back to who you are underneath all of it.

Angel Martinez grew up with nothing. Adopted, raised in the Bronx, running laps around the block because that was the only competition available to him. What he built from that starting point changed the way women see themselves in sport forever, and created industries that didn't exist until he decided they should.

What you'll take away:
●       Why women were the most underestimated market in athletic footwear history, and how Angel saw it before anyone else did.

●       How Jane Fonda gave women permission to sweat, have muscles, and take up space, and why that single cultural shift built a billion-dollar industry.

●       The origin story of the Reebok aerobics shoe and how Reebok went from $1.3 million to $1.6 billion in just a few years.

●       The HOKA origin story and why ultramarathon runners were the unlikely heroes that made it credible.

●       What Angel learned about company culture at Deckers and why a shared "why" is worth more than any perk or paycheck.

●       Why leadership has nothing to do with having all the answers.

●       What three failed retirement attempts taught him about identity, purpose, and what it means to really be done.

This is not a business podcast episode. It's an honest, energizing conversation about drive, vision, and what it actually takes to build something that lasts, from someone who has done it, repeatedly, against the odds.

Dr. Shivani Gupta spent decades studying the ancient wisdom of Ayurveda, earning her PhD in turmeric, and traveling across India to learn from practitioners at their feet. What she discovered changed the way she sees health forever: most of what we blame on aging is actually inflammation. And inflammation has a root cause.

What you'll take away:

• Why chronic inflammation is behind the brain fog, fatigue, joint pain, and mood changes so many women experience. 
• The difference between physical inflammation and mental inflammation, and how they feed each other in a loop most of us don't even recognize. 
• What 5,000 years of Ayurveda knows that modern medicine is still catching up to.
• The ancient practice of panchakarma and why Dr. Gupta calls it the ultimate oil change for the body. 
• The shocking connection between toxic relationships, emotional stress, and physical symptoms, and what happened when one of her clients finally walked away.
• How to combine ancient healing practices with modern tools like HRT and peptides without choosing one over the other. 
• Why in a world of chaos and overstimulation, slow deliberate living might be the most rebellious thing you can do for your health.

This is not a fear-based conversation. It's an honest, empowering look at what it actually takes to reclaim your body, from someone who has lived it, studied it for decades, and built her life's work around making it accessible to everyone.

Dr. Christina Rahm’s story is one of resilience, survival, and radical honesty.

She was in her 20s, and just told she had cancer. What she did next changed everything.

Dr. Christina Rahm didn't wait for the medical system to save her. Diagnosed with a pituitary brain tumor, basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, and later melanoma - all while navigating a toxic relationship, single motherhood, and Lyme disease - she made a radical choice: clean up everything. Her body. Her environment. Her relationships.

In this episode of Toxic Free with KB, Kate sits down with scientist, nanobiotechnologist, and wellness entrepreneur Dr. Christina Rahm for one of the most raw, wide-ranging conversations the show has ever had. From shrinking a brain tumor through green shakes and lifestyle changes, to the undeniable link between mold, stress, parasites, and chronic illness, this episode goes deep.

What you'll take away:

• Why stress and unresolved trauma may be fueling illness in your body
• The connection between mold, fungus, and immune system breakdown
• How Dr. Rahm naturally treated multiple cancer diagnoses
• Why rotating your supplements matters more than most people realize
• The one toxic-free habit she says matters more than sleep, water, or nutrition

If you've ever looked in the mirror and felt disconnected from the person staring back… or found yourself using food, control, or restriction to cope with emotions you didn't know how to process, this episode is for you.

In this raw, unfiltered solo episode, KB opens up about something she's kept close for a long time: her complicated relationship with her body. From comparing herself to her gymnast sisters as a kid, to squeezing into a competition swimsuit that tore at a league meet, to running away to Thailand after an abusive relationship, this is the story of a girl who used food to cope, control, and survive.

This isn't a clinical conversation about eating disorders. It's a deeply personal account of disordered eating, body dysmorphia, and the slow, ongoing work of learning to respect yourself, not punish yourself.

You’ll discover:

• How childhood chaos and emotional dysregulation shaped KB's earliest relationship with food
• The difference between self-punishment and self-respect at the table
• Why restriction, bingeing, and over-exercising are all rooted in the same wound
• What it looks like to build structure around food and movement from a place of healing, not fear
• Why KB is done hiding, and why she's sharing this now

This one is for anyone who has ever looked in the mirror and not recognized the person looking back. You are not alone, and you are not bad.

She's known as Dr. Pimple Popper. But six months ago, she had a stroke on set, and almost missed it entirely.

KB sits down with Dr. Sandra Lee for one of the most honest conversations you'll hear this year. Beyond the TV show and the social media empire, Sandra opens up about the stroke she experienced while filming, the warning signs she ignored, and what she's learning - for the first time - about slowing down.

They also go deep on something most people overlook: skin conditions aren't just physical. Acne, psoriasis, and chronic skin issues can quietly reshape a person's confidence, relationships, and identity. Sandra reflects on the patients who changed her, the failures that shaped her career, and her own complicated relationship with aging in an industry that demands perfection.

We Talk About:

• The real story behind her stroke and the critical 4-hour window that could save your life
• Why dermatology is "just as much psychiatry as it is dermatology"
• The honest truth about aging, cosmetic procedures, and pushing back against the pressure to look younger
• What microneedling, exosomes, and peptides actually do to your skin
• The one toxic-free habit Dr. Lee says anyone can start today, and it costs nothin

This conversation is raw, honest, and deeply human.
