In this episode, host Jenn Payeur sits down with Bryan Paulhus of Genuine Essiac to trace the remarkable journey of Essiac tea — from its Ojibwe origins, to a Canadian nurse's clinic in the 1920s, to eight years of research led by President Kennedy's personal physician, Dr. Charles Brusch.

    Bryan shares powerful personal stories — including his own father's recovery from lung cancer and his brother's battle with ALS — and discusses research showing 33–50% reductions in DNA damage among X-ray technicians, along with findings from radiation-exposed mice.

    Whether you're dealing with a chronic illness or simply curious about natural approaches to gut health and longevity, this conversation explores a formula that has quietly changed thousands of lives — available for about a dollar a day, with a satisfaction guarantee.

    What if everything you've been told about your eyesight is only part of the story? In this episode, host Jenn Payeur sits down with Claudia Muehlenweg — holistic vision coach and founder of the Naturally Clear Vision Institute — to explore a different approach to eye health.

    Claudia shares her journey from getting her first pair of glasses at age three and watching her vision deteriorate under stress to becoming glasses-free for over 20 years.

    Together, they dive into:

    How vision works — the anatomy of the eye, central and peripheral vision, and why we "see" with our brain, not our eyes

    The emotional roots of vision problems — how nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism can reflect patterns like overwhelm, avoidance, and indecision

    The hidden costs of LASIK, progressive lenses, and cheap readers

    Practical habits for healthier eyes — from blinking and breaks to light exposure, screen ergonomics, and safely reducing glasses dependency

    Why children are facing a myopia epidemic and what stress, safety, and school environments may have to do with it

    Claudia's 12-week Naturally Clear Vision program

    Whether you wear glasses, contacts, or have had eye surgery, this episode explores the idea that vision is dynamic and may be improvable. You'll walk away with simple steps for caring for your eyes naturally.

    38:47 - Elizabeth's Books, Quiz & Podcast Resources

    In this episode, host Jenn Payeur sits down with naturopath, certified food sensitivity therapist (CLT), and TEDx speaker Elizabeth Yarnell to unpack the hidden, systemic inflammation that quietly drives most chronic illness — and why most people don't even know they have it.

    Elizabeth breaks down the three-factor framework (from Dr. Alessio Fasano's celiac research) behind nearly every autoimmune and inflammatory condition: an external trigger, genetic predisposition, and leaky gut. They dig into how "hidden" inflammation shows up differently for everyone — as headaches, brain fog, joint pain, digestive issues, and more — and why obesity and many chronic conditions are increasingly understood as inflammatory, not moral or willpower failures.

    The conversation also covers:

    • Why food sensitivity reactions can take up to 4 days to show symptoms
    • The truth behind "natural flavors," citric acid, and other misleading label terms
    • How US food regulation compares to Europe's stricter ingredient standards
    • Practical, budget-friendly tips for eating cleaner (including the Clean 15 / Dirty Dozen)
    • How diet transformed Elizabeth's own multiple sclerosis journey and her son's health
    • The historical roots of America's pharmaceutical-first medical system (Rockefeller, Carnegie, and the Flexner Report)
    • Why most medical research has historically excluded women

    Elizabeth also shares where to take her free inflammation quiz, explore her cookbook Glorious One Pot Meals, and tune into her podcast, The Inflammation Investigator.

    Dan opens up about his deeply personal journey: raising a daughter, Jane, who battled a rare primary immune deficiency from infancy. After years of hospital visits and conventional medicine falling short, Dan and his wife discovered the world of frequency healing — and it changed everything.

    • 🌿How to create a healing environment in your own home
    • ⚡Dan's Essential Energy devices — how resonant photonic harmonics technology works and why it helped his family heal
    • 🐄Surprising evidence from agriculture: what dairy farm fertility rates reveal about EMF and human health
    • 💡The lifestyle shift needed to truly reclaim your health in the digital age

    Are you running your business — or is your business running you?

    In this episode of The Wellness Sherpa, Jenn Payeur sits down with Jason Duncan — serial entrepreneur, TEDx speaker, bestselling author of Exit Without Exiting, and founder of the Exeter Club — to unpack why most entrepreneurs unknowingly trap themselves in their own companies, and what to do about it.

    Jason shares his proven XOS Method (Exeter Operating System), a 7-stage framework that helps owner-operators evolve into owner-investors — so they can work less, earn more, and actually build wealth instead of just a job.

    In this episode, you'll learn:

    The 3 tiers of entrepreneurial evolution (and why 80-90% never leave Tier 1)

    Why energy is the first freedom you must protect

    How to build trust in your team so you can step back without things falling apart

    What "Exit Without Exiting" really means — and why you don't have to sell to be free

    The lies we've been told about money (and the books that reveal the truth)

    Books mentioned:

    Exit Without Exiting — Jason Duncan

    Think and Grow Rich — Napoleon Hill

    Psycho-Cybernetics — Dr. Maxwell Maltz

    Profit First — Mike Michalowicz

    Measure What Matters — John Doerr
