Most relationships don’t break in one big moment — they drift through small, unspoken patterns.

Relationship mentor Peter Anderson shares how couples can reconnect by understanding the nervous system, practicing true listening, and bringing back play (without using humor in a way that cuts). We explore emotional safety, repair after conflict, and practical ways to communicate needs without blame.

What actually happens to the brain after trauma — and why do some people get stuck in PTSD while others grow stronger?

In this episode, I’m joined by Dr. Bhargav Patel, a child and adolescent psychiatry fellow at Brown, researcher on trauma and post-traumatic growth, former chief medical officer of a healthcare AI company, and founder of a vegan nutrition startup.

We explore how neuroplasticity, epigenetics, and neurogenesis shape the brain; how nutrition, sleep, and movementset the foundation for mental health; and how technology, blue light, and constant dopamine hits from our devices are changing attention, anxiety, and ADHD — especially in kids.

We also dig into:

• Why trauma doesn’t affect everyone the same way

• How trauma-focused therapies help people process horrific experiences

• The unique burden on first responders and veterans

• Where AI, chatbots, and telehealth can genuinely expand access to care

• How AI scribing and automation might finally give clinicians more time with patients

Bhargav’s upcoming book, Trauma Transformed (early 2026), pulls much of this work together — offering a hopeful view of what healing and post-traumatic growth can look like.

Biohacking isn’t supposed to be a personality trait or a toy box of gadgets. Done well, it’s a structured way to improve your healthspan – how well you live, not just how long.

In this conversation, Troy Laing, founder of Culture OC in Newport Beach, shares how he went from a childhood marked by trauma and addiction to building a biohacking and regenerative health center that blends psychology, technology and community.

We talk about:

• What “biohacking” actually means when you strip away the hype

• Healthspan vs lifespan and why living longer doesn’t mean living better

• How float therapy and sensory deprivation can unlock deep emotional releases

• The right way to use breathwork to control fight-or-flight and prepare for change

• Cold plunges: inflammation, immune benefits, mental resilience and testosterone

• Why timing your cold plunge matters if you care about muscle growth

• Infrared saunas vs traditional saunas and what “detox” really looks like

• Why hyperbaric oxygen is Troy’s “if I could only pick one” therapy

• How he coordinates care with physicians for clients dealing with cancer and chronic illness

• The difference between self-education and self-diagnosis – and how to ask better questions of your doctor

If you’re curious about biohacking but skeptical of trends, this episode will help you understand the science, the mindset and the practical ways to use these tools without losing the plot.

Midlife isn’t a diet. It’s a strategy. Dr. Christine Boev (PhD, RN, CPT) shares a women-specific plan for perimenopause and menopause: lift heavy to protect muscle and bones, prioritize protein, use creatine/collagen/whey intelligently, and talk with your provider about whether HRT fits you. We discuss why “cardio isn’t king,” how GLP-1s can accelerate muscle loss, why the scale is misleading, and better ways to measure progress (hello, DEXA).

You move, you try to eat well… and then you hit the supplement aisle and everything falls apart.

Every bottle looks the same. Every label promises “immune support” and “optimal wellness.” And somewhere between RDI, “doctor recommended,” and TikTok trends, it’s hard to know what actually matters.

In this episode, Artis sits down with James Garland, VP of Marketing for Pure TheraPro Rx and a veteran integrative nutritionist with 20+ years in the health and wellness world. James has spent his career helping people cut through supplement hype and understand the difference between bare-minimum nutrition and truly supporting long-term health. Go Slow To Go Fast Podcast+1

They dig into:

• Why movement + real food are the foundation—but usually aren’t enough anymore

• How soil depletion, industrial farming, and modern life changed the nutrient profile of our food

• The difference between RDI (recommended daily intake) and optimal daily intake—and why “within range” on your labs doesn’t always mean “optimal”

• What MTHFR and methylation actually are, and why the wrong B vitamins can make some people feel worse instead of better

• Simple ways to spot low-quality supplements: fillers, “other ingredients,” tablet vs capsule, and more

• Why trying to “min–max” your health can backfire—and how to aim for sustainable, real-life balance instead

• A practical starting stack James thinks almost everyone can benefit from (and why multivitamins are not all created equal)

This is not about chasing perfection. It’s about understanding the system you live in, asking better questions when you get your labs back, and choosing supplements that actually have a chance to move the needle for you.
