The pandemic may be “over,” but let’s be real—our brains are still recovering. From constant anxiety to burnout, brain fog, and awkward social interactions, we’re all feeling a little (or a lot) off. In this episode, we break down the mental and emotional fallout of the past few years—why we’re struggling, how society has shifted, and, most importantly, what we can do to feel normal (ish) again. If you've been wondering why small talk feels exhausting, why your memory is shot, or why burnout still haunts you even after quitting your toxic job, this episode is for you. Let’s talk healing, real solutions, and why moving to a remote cabin in the woodsprobably isn’t the answer.

In this episode, I sit down with the incredible Heather Munson, whose resume is basically a mic drop in the world of health and wellness. From her days as a scholar-athlete at the University of Oregon (*hello, double major in Psychology and Biology!*) to her 20+ years as a personal trainer, Heather brings a wealth of knowledge and passion to the table. We dive into her journey as a nationally ranked competitive bodybuilder (now thriving in the wellness division), and how she’s managed it all as a single mom of two working full time!

But this isn’t just a highlight reel. Heather shares her holistic approach to coaching—mind, body, and spirit—and we get into the nitty-gritty of building sustainable health. Whether you're curious about the realities of bodybuilding, tips for navigating wellness as a busy parent, or simply looking for inspiration to level up your fitness journey, this episode is for you.

Grab a notebook (and maybe some dumbbells), because Heather is about to drop some serious knowledge bombs!

Ever feel like you’re throwing back vitamins like it’s a buffet, but your body’s still acting like, “Nah, I’m good”? Well, it turns out your cells might be ghosting your nutrients, thanks to some sneaky genetic mutations. This week, I’m chatting with Dr. Lipman again and he has the inside scoop on lab tests that reveal why your cells are basically swiping left on all the good stuff you’re sending their way.

We’re talking about lab results that tell you exactly *why* your body’s acting like a picky eater at a salad bar and how you can use that info to build a supplement plan that actually works. Think of it as couples therapy for your cells and nutrients—they finally start working together and stop fighting over who gets to absorb what. Your body will thank you by, you know, actually functioning.

But that’s not all! While you wait for your lab results to drop the tea, here are 4 ridiculously easy things you can do at home (or anywhere) to reset your body and fight disease:

1. **Sunlight** – Here’s a wild fact: you’re supposed to spend 85% of your life outside, but instead, you’re bingeing Netflix in the dark 97% of the time or trapped in a office with neon lights...Go outside and let the sun work its magic. You might even remember what fresh air smells like!

2. **Grounding** – Take off your shoes, touch the earth, and let your body detox by literally dumping all its bad vibes into the ground. Grounding also helps your red blood cells declump—yup, they’ve been clumped up like an awkward family photo, and this helps them chill out and get back to work detoxing and regenerating.

3. **Breathwork** – Wim Hof your way to better health by, you know, *actually* breathing. Get oxygen deep into your lungs because where there’s oxygen, disease can’t crash the party. Bonus: you’ll sound zen AF.

4. **Cold Showers** – Look, no one likes them, but cold showers are the cellular version of a cold hard slap in the face. Your cells will wake up, reboot, and run at full capacity while you scream through the pain. Totally worth it, right?

Join us as we explore ways to continue to heal and live our best lives...no matter what age!

What’s bio-optimization? Think of it like turning your body into the latest iPhone, minus the glitches and battery issues. In this episode, we’re breaking down what bio-optimization actually is and how it can help you upgrade your health, fix genetic hiccups (methylation, anyone?), and heal trauma from military service, sports injuries, or, let’s be real, life itself.

Tired of hearing about opioids as the only solution for chronic pain? We’ve got you covered with *actual* alternatives that don’t involve addiction or brain fog. Oh, and if you’re thinking this sounds like something only the rich and famous can afford—guess again! We’ll drop some DIY tips for optimizing your health right from your couch. Yup, you can bio-hack yourself while binge-watching Netflix (maybe not the best idea, but it is a possibility)!

We’ll discuss the role of diet and lifestyle (hint: they’re pretty important), and give you the lowdown on how to find a legit bio-optimization doc without getting scammed. Plus, we’ll talk about the cost—because we all need to know how many avocado toasts we’ll need to skip to afford it. (Spoiler: it’s more affordable than you think!)

If you want to learn how to supercharge your health, manage pain, and maybe even become a superhero (no promises), this episode is for you!
