• David Watumull Reveals the One Antioxidant That Actually Extends Lifespan 01.06.2026 1h 17min

  You do the work. You train, you sleep, you eat well, you manage stress. And yet your joints still ache, recovery takes longer, and something just feels harder than it used to. I sit down with David Watumull, co-founder and CEO of AX3, to talk about astaxanthin, a naturally occurring antioxidant he has spent his entire career studying, one that most people have never heard of despite having more than 4,000 peer-reviewed papers and 100 human clinical trials behind it. This is not a conversation about the latest wellness trend. It's a deep look at the science of oxidative stress, chronic inflammation, and what actually happens inside your cells when the damage accumulates faster than your body can repair it. What we explore: - Why astaxanthin is categorically different from vitamins C and E, and how it works at every layer of the cell without ever becoming pro-oxidant. - How chronic inflammation starts with oxidative stress upstream, and why blocking it at the source is safer than suppressing the immune response after the fact. - Why this ingredient was one of only five agents in a 20-year NIH-funded program to extend mammalian lifespan by over 10 percent while also showing health span benefits. - How astaxanthin protects joints, muscles, and mitochondrial energy production, and what the data on competitive cyclists actually demonstrates. - What to look for in a supplement, why bioavailability determines whether you absorb anything at all, and how to build astaxanthin into a foundational daily stack. Chapters:  00:00 Intro 03:30 Why Astaxanthin Isn't Like Other Antioxidants 07:14 The Algae Origins of Astaxanthin 11:22 Salmon, the Food Chain, and Nature's Design 15:00 From Pharma Research to Supplement 18:21 The NIH Longevity Study Explained 23:15 mTOR, FOXO3, and the Aging Pathways 29:10 Safe Anti-Inflammatory for Joints and Athletes 35:15 Brain Protection and the Blood-Brain Barrier 38:02 Skin Health and Sun Damage from the Inside 45:00 Redox Balance and Liver Protection 48:35 Mitochondria, Energy, and Endurance Performance 53:00 How to Stack Astaxanthin with Other Supplements 57:10 Dosing, Bioavailability, and What Sets AX3 Apart 01:07:00 Why David Watumull Went All-In on One Ingredient About David Watumull: David Watumull is the co-founder and CEO of AX3, a supplement company built on more than two decades of astaxanthin research. He was introduced to the ingredient as a teenager working on algae ponds on the Big Island of Hawaii, and has spent his career advancing its science through pharmaceutical-grade manufacturing, NIH-funded longevity studies, and peer-reviewed cardiovascular research. His work sits at the intersection of rigorous science and practical supplementation, and it shows.

• The Kitchen Swaps That Cut Your Toxic Load by 70% | Chef Johanna Hellrigl 25.05.2026 1h 26min

  What's actually in your food, and who's protecting the companies that put it there? I sit down with Johanna Hellrigl, chef, restaurateur, board member of the Environmental Working Group, and founder of Ama, the mission-driven Northern Italian restaurant four blocks from the US Capitol, to talk about what's really happening in our food system, why your cookware matters as much as your ingredients, and how a woman who grew up in a Michelin-quality kitchen ended up fighting pesticide immunity bills and plastic migration in the same breath. This conversation goes deeper than clean eating. Johanna walks through the specific decisions she makes every day, from the containers in her kitchen to the farms that grow her tomatoes, and explains why the real model for healthy eating has been sitting in Italian kitchens for centuries. She is building a case study that nourishing food, done with integrity, can also be a viable business. If you have ever felt overwhelmed by the food system or paralyzed by conflicting information, this episode gives you a clear-headed, practical place to start. What we explore: - How heat, fat, acid, and time create the conditions for plastic and chemicals to migrate directly into your food. - Why 99% of food chemicals enter the US supply through a regulatory loophole that bypasses proper safety review. - What rebuilding your gut microbiome actually requires, and why what happens in your gut controls far more than most people realize. - How Johanna runs a restaurant rooted in love without sacrificing standards, consistency, or accountability. - Why voting with your dollars and contacting your representatives are two of the most direct actions you can take right now. About Johanna Hellrigl: Johanna Hellrigl is a chef, restaurateur, and culinary advocate redefining what restaurants can stand for. She is the chef-owner of Ama, an award-winning Northern Italian restaurant in Washington, DC, named a James Beard Foundation semifinalist for Best Chef Mid-Atlantic in 2026 and recognized by Gambero Rosso for authenticity. Before opening Ama, she spent years in international democracy-building work across 61 countries, an experience that deepened her belief that food is one of the most powerful tools for connection and change. She sits on the board of the Environmental Working Group and works with the Plastic Pollution Coalition, bringing the same rigor she applies in her kitchen to the fight for a safer, more transparent food system.

• Danny Morel: He Traced His Affair All the Way Back to His Grandmother 18.05.2026 1h 17min

  Most people spend their whole lives solving problems that aren't the actual problem. I sat down with Danny Morel, transformational coach, speaker, and author of Awaken, to talk about what it really takes to stop outsourcing your power and start doing the inner work that changes everything. Not the kind of change that looks good on paper. The kind that actually holds. What we explore: - Why grief can crack open the questions you've been avoiding for decades, and why that's actually the beginning of something good. - How overachieving quietly becomes its own form of hiding, and why society keeps handing out rewards for it. - What re-parenting actually means, and why the real healing work happens inside you, not in a conversation with your mom or dad. - How to shift from victim consciousness to creator consciousness so every person in your life becomes a teacher instead of a problem. - What the masculine and feminine actually are beneath the culture war noise, and why integrating both is the foundation for everything else. Chapters 00:00 Why Danny Morel Started Asking Hard Questions 02:39 3 Questions After His Mom Passed  04:43 Sitting Still as the Most Powerful Healing Tool  09:17 Being You Requires No Effort  14:14 How Your Mother's Wounds Became Yours  17:12 When Logic Fails: Plant Medicine and Ceremony 21:02 You Learned Pain So You Can Unlearn It  24:55 Re-Parenting Yourself From Within 30:58 From Victim to Creator Consciousness 36:35 What Ceremony Revealed About Divorce and Kids 39:02 How Danny Avoids Becoming a Guru 40:10 The Ladder of Consciousness Explained Simply 48:27 Breathwork, Cannabis, Mushrooms, and Ayahuasca 56:08 Why Religion Taught You to Outsource Your Power  57:29 Why Alcoholics Are Sensitive People in Pain 01:04:16 The Truth About Masculine and Feminine Energy 01:06:36 The Infinity Symbol and How Energy Really Works  01:10:54 Adam, Eve, and What the Bible Got Wrong 01:13:51 Healing Yourself Heals Your Whole Family About Danny Morel: Danny Morel is a transformational coach, speaker, and the author of Awaken, a book born from his own radical personal reckoning after the death of his mother, a marriage that fell apart, and years of building external success on an internal void. He hosts live immersive events that combine breathwork, somatic release, plant medicine ceremonies, and deep emotional excavation to help people break generational patterns and return to who they actually are.

• SPIRITUAL ACTIVATOR: The Hidden Energy Drain Wrecking High Performers | Oliver Nino 11.05.2026 1h 38min

  Sensitivity gets a bad reputation. We treat it like a liability, something to manage, suppress, or grow out of. Oliver Nino thinks that's exactly backwards. I sit down with Oliver Nino, energy healer, entrepreneur, and founder of Authentic Living, to talk about what it actually means to be energetically sensitive, how that sensitivity becomes a liability when you don't have the tools to manage it, and what it looks like to work with your energy instead of against it. This isn't a conversation about crystals or magic thinking. Oliver is 70-80% logical by his own admission. He ran businesses before he ran healing workshops. What he brings is a grounded, pattern-recognition approach to a topic most people either dismiss or over-mystify. Whether you're a high-output entrepreneur running on empty, a parent who absorbs everything your kids feel, or someone stuck in a loop you can't seem to break out of, this episode gives you a framework for understanding what's yours, what isn't, and how to stop carrying both. What we explore: - How growing up as an empath with no guardrails leads to adrenal fatigue, brain fog, and emotional depletion, and what to do about it. - Why your intuition processes information 30 times faster than your logical mind, and how to learn to trust it without abandoning analytical thinking. - What energy healing actually looks like in practice, from clearing generational blocks to group sessions of thousands, and why you don't need to know the source of a wound to heal it. - How to build an energetic shield using intention, color, and sacred geometry: a simple 5-to-10-minute practice that has helped people with debilitating anxiety finally function in public. - Why removing interference matters more than adding mindset hacks, and how signal-to-noise ratio is the real reason most people can't hear their own instincts. Chapters: 00:00 Intro 01:29 How Empaths Absorb Other People's Pain Without Knowing It 06:12 Why Caretakers Have Nobody to Turn To 10:40 Why Entrepreneurship Requires Serious Internal Fuel 19:03 How Intuition Saved His Life and Built His Business 26:00 Why Red Flags Feel Like Green Flags Before You Heal 28:32 How Shared Purpose Built His Marriage 31:23 From the Philippines to Healing 100,000 People Online 37:17 Generational Trauma: You Don't Need to Know the Source to Clear It 42:20 How to Build an Energy Shield in 5 Minutes 49:01 Why Empaths and Addicts Are Drawn to Each Other 59:41 Why Stacking Spiritual Practices Multiplies Your Results 01:07:39 Your Light Is Your Best Protection Against Negative Energy 01:16:19 Stop Adding Hacks and Start Removing the Interference 01:19:44 Why Manifestation Fails Without Massive Action 01:24:53 How to Parent From Love Instead of Generational Programming About Oliver Nino: Oliver Nino is an energy healer, entrepreneur, and the creator of Authentic Living. Known online as the Spiritual Activator, Oliver has conducted over 10,000 individual healing sessions and now works with groups of thousands at a time, including events that have drawn 100,000 people online. His approach blends energetic clearing with practical, action-oriented principles, making his work accessible to skeptics and believers alike.

• Dr. Vass on Stem Cells, Hormones, and Longevity: Here's Why Your Healing Is Failing 04.05.2026 1h 20min

  Most people assume the treatment is the problem when it doesn't work.Dr. Vassily Eliopoulos, MD, a Co-Founder & Chief Medical Officer of Longevity Health Clinic, says it's almost never the treatment. It's the body that wasn't ready for it. In this episode we get into stem cells, hormone panels, lab testing your doctor isn't running, and why so many people never actually feel good, not because the tools don't exist, but because the foundation was never built. What we explore: - Why tissue readiness determines whether stem cells and hormone therapy actually work. - How optimizing your physiology before any treatment is the step most people skip entirely. - Why the full hormone panel looks almost the same for men and women, and what most doctors get wrong about ordering it. - How sleep deprivation accumulates over a lifetime and why it is one of the most underestimated drivers of aging. - How chronic low-grade stress quietly erodes your hormones, your recovery, and your ability to think clearly. - Why training the parasympathetic nervous system is a skill, not a personality trait, and how to actually build it. - What morning sunlight and grounding do to your hormones, your circadian rhythm, and your energy for the rest of the day. - Why most athletes are underfueled, underrecovered, and headed for early injury despite doing everything their sport demands. - How early sport specialization is creating a generation of athletes whose bodies break down before they peak. - How physical healing opens the door to deeper personal change, even when people are not looking for it. - What microdosing psychedelics is showing in clinical practice and why it matters for people who feel stuck despite doing the work. Chapters 00:00 Intro 05:20 How Stem Cells Actually Work 10:08 Optimizing Your Body Before Any Treatment 15:00 Pleasure vs. Joy and Self-Love 19:22 How to Find Your Real Purpose 29:42 What Really Happens When You Sleep 35:27 His Personal Health Wake-Up Call 41:40 The Lab Tests Your Doctor Skips 53:44 Morning Sunlight and Grounding Basics 58:22 Stress, Cortisol, and Your Nervous System 01:04:22 Hormone Disruptors in Athletes 01:12:39 Psychedelics and Physical Healing 01:18:28 Stem Cells for Skin Regeneration About Dr. Vass, MD: Dr. Vassily Eliopoulos, or simply known as Dr. Vass, spent years as an ER physician before walking away from a system he felt was treating symptoms, not people. Today he is the Co-Founder and Chief Medical Officer of Longevity Health, where he combines functional, regenerative, and traditional medicine into one integrated approach. His work sits at the intersection of stem cell therapy, hormone optimization, and full-panel diagnostics, built around a simple premise: if the body isn't primed to heal, no treatment will perform the way it should.

• Dominique Sachse Gets Honest About Divorce, Identity, and Finding Love Again 27.04.2026 1h 3min

  Reinvention is a word that gets thrown around a lot. Dominique Sachse would call it a misread. I sit down with Dominique, Emmy Award-winning broadcast journalist, YouTube creator, author of Life Makeover, and host of Over 50 & Flourishing, to talk about what it actually takes to rebuild your identity in midlife, why letting go of control is not weakness, and how curiosity might be the most underrated tool any of us have. After 28 years anchoring the news in Houston, Dominique walked away from a pension, a 401k, and a career identity she built from scratch, all while navigating a divorce and building an entrepreneurial brand from the ground up. This conversation goes deep on the psychological cost of high achievement, why driven women often end up lonely in their relationships, and what it looks like to build a life that holds up over time. What We Explore: - Why "reinvention" is the wrong frame, and how thinking of life as an unfolding rather than a reset changes everything about how you make hard decisions. - How the same traits that make you exceptional at work will slowly hollow out your relationships, and what it looks like to finally course-correct without losing your edge. - Why curiosity is the skill that keeps midlife from becoming a holding pattern, in love, in identity, and in every conversation you are scared to start. - What the need for control actually costs you, and why the highest-performing women are often the ones who feel most invisible inside their own homes. - How to approach aging, appearance, and the "how much is too much" question without losing yourself in the process. Chapter: 00:00 Intro 03:00 Why Female Broadcasters Get Judged on Appearance First 09:05 Leaving Security Behind: Career, Divorce, and Starting Over 13:46 Midlife Women Are Craving Simplicity. Here Is Why. 18:38 Curiosity: The Skill That Keeps Midlife Moving Forward 25:00 Why High-Achieving Women Struggle in Relationships 29:40 Building a Faith-First Marriage That Actually Works 34:32 Why Too Much Polish Becomes Its Own Prison 39:43 How to Heal After Divorce: Journaling, Therapy, Patterns 46:09 What Minimum Wage Jobs Teach Kids About Life 49:09 Using Beauty and Style to Break Identity Attachments 52:42 Why Other People React When You Dare to Change 57:00 Aging Honestly: Lifestyle First, Then Decide What Else About Dominique Sachse: Dominique Sachse spent nearly three decades as an Emmy Award-winning broadcast journalist and anchor at KPRC in Houston, Texas. She launched her YouTube beauty and lifestyle channel in 2014 and built a community of nearly one million women who trust her to show up honestly about the real texture of midlife. She is the author of Life Makeover: Embrace the Bold, Beautiful and Blessed You and the host of the podcast Over 50 & Flourishing. Her work sits at the intersection of faith, identity, beauty, and honest self-examination, and she is one of the more grounded voices doing it at scale.

• TEAM USA OLYMPIAN: How Chari Hawkins Trained Her Mind to Reach Paris After Years of Falling Short 20.04.2026 2h 34min

  Most people watch the Olympics and see the result. Chari Hawkins lived two and a half decades of work to get there, and almost didn't make it. I sit down with US Olympian and world-class heptathlete Chari Hawkins for a wide-ranging conversation about what it actually takes to build mental toughness from scratch, compete at the highest level with a broken heart, and figure out who you are when the sport is no longer the whole answer. This is not a highlight reel conversation. Chari is honest about the panic attacks, the identity crises, the years of therapy, the breakdowns under a tent at track meets, and the visualization breakthrough that got her to the 2024 Paris Olympics. She's also sharp, curious, and deeply thoughtful about what sport teaches you about life, not the other way around. If you've ever had to do hard things while scared, this one is for you. What we explore:Why tying your identity to a single role, athlete, title, achievement, sets you up for a crisis the moment it ends.How Chari used a three-word visualization framework to silence the fear before the race that got her to Paris.Why mental toughness is not a personality trait, and what the actual work of building it looks like under pressure.What not winning a World Championship medal gave her that a podium finish never could have.How competition-day nutrition, breathwork, and sleep tools function as a performance system, and what happens when you get them wrong.Chapter: 00:00 Intro 01:35 Why Competing Can Disconnect You From Yourself 10:56 Why She Chose the Heptathlon 16:49 How to Learn New Skills Faster Than Everyone Else 21:31 Sports Psychology Tools That Actually Work 36:28 How to Support Someone After Failure 49:25 The “See, Feel, Trust” Performance Technique 01:00:10 Parenting, Discipline, and Mental Strength 01:12:41 Peak Performance and Age in the Olympics 01:24:05 Bouncing Back After a Devastating Moment 01:34:46 What Losing Teaches You That Winning Can’t 01:36:54 What Athletes Eat on Competition Day 01:47:08 Balancing Training, Recovery, and Performance 01:51:05 A 30-Day Plan to Build Mental Strength 02:00:22 Sprint Training Mindset and Workouts 02:11:17 Overcoming Injury Fear and Recovery 02:17:33 Sleep, Travel, and Mental Recovery Tools 02:28:46 Future Goals and Final Lessons  About Chari Hawkins Chari Hawkins is a US Olympic heptathlete who competed at the 2024 Paris Olympics. One of the most mentally transparent athletes in track and field, she has spent over 20 years competing at the world-class level across seven events, from the 100 hurdles to the 800m, and has become as well known for her openness about the mental side of sport as she has for her performance. She is based in Utah and trains alongside her husband CJ, who serves as both her training partner and one of her closest sources of perspective.

• The Doing, Not the Getting | Kris Gethin on True Motivation 13.04.2026 1h 26min

  There’s a difference between looking strong… and actually being resilient. In this conversation, I sat down with Kris Gethin—someone who has spent decades pushing the limits of performance, recovery, and discipline. But what stood out to me isn’t just how hard he trains. It’s how clearly he understands that real strength isn’t just physical. It’s mental. It’s behavioral. And it’s built through the small decisions we make every day. Kris didn’t come into this world through a perfect path. He found training through injury, through losing his identity, and through having to rebuild himself from the ground up. And that’s really what this conversation is about. Not optimization for the sake of looking better. But using discipline as a way to stabilize your life. In this episode, we cover: Why doing hard things first thing in the morning changes your entire day The difference between physical strength and mental capacity How community—not just programming—is what actually drives long-term change Why most people struggle to change even when they want to The role of identity in building (or breaking) consistency How nutrition, sleep, and environment shape your ability to perform The balance between intensity and recovery And what it really means to be “harder to kill” A bigger takeaway A lot of people are chasing performance, success, or some version of “better.” But if your system—your sleep, your stress, your habits—isn’t aligned… Everything feels harder than it should. Kris has a very direct way of saying it: Do the hard things first. Build resilience. And stop negotiating with yourself.

• Your Body Is Home to Millions of Bacterial Pilots | feat. Anders Corbett 06.04.2026 1h 41min

  In this episode, I talk with Anders Corbett, microbiome researcher and founder of Craft Microbiome, about how the bacteria living inside us may be influencing far more than we realize — from performance and recovery to cognition, mood, and long-term health. Anders’ journey into microbiome science started at Harvard Medical School, where he sequenced his own microbiome as a former elite rower. What he discovered sparked a much bigger question: do elite athletes carry different microbial patterns than the rest of us? That curiosity led him to study Olympic athletes, UFC fighters, NBA players, endurance competitors, and high-performing executives — identifying how certain bacterial strains correlate with inflammation control, lactate metabolism, testosterone signaling, VO₂ capacity, and stress resilience. In this conversation, we explore the rapidly evolving science of the microbiome and human performance, including: • How the microbiome shifts before and after elite competition • Inflammation-reducing bacteria found in endurance athletes • Growth-hormone–associated strains identified in sprinters • Gut changes after concussive and non-concussive hits • The gut-brain axis and its impact on mood and decision-making • How bacteria influence dopamine and serotonin production • Microbiome changes that tend to happen around 40 and again around 60 • Epigenetics and how microbes may turn genes on or off • Why sunlight, soil exposure, and environment matter for microbial health • How stress reshapes bacterial populations in the gut • The future of performance-focused probiotic formulations We also talk about something many of us overlook: how modern life — sterile environments, limited food diversity, chronic stress, antibiotics, travel, and poor sleep — may be reducing microbial diversity and resilience. Anders shares practical ways to begin supporting your microbiome even if you’re not a professional athlete — including simple shifts that may improve sleep, digestion, recovery, focus, and energy. This conversation bridges cutting-edge science with something more timeless: the idea that our bodies are ecosystems. And it raises a deeper question worth considering: Who’s really in charge — you or your gut?

• Why Arielle Lorre Finally Got Sober After Years of Struggling 30.03.2026 1h 20min

  In this episode, I sit down with Ariel Lorre to talk about something that I think a lot of people quietly wrestle with — how you rebuild your life when you realize the path you’re on isn’t working. Ariel shares her story of addiction, recovery, and what it actually takes to change—not just externally, but internally. From the outside, she had what most people would consider a stable, even ideal upbringing. But internally, she felt disconnected, uncomfortable in her own skin, and constantly searching for something to quiet that noise. What started as a way to feel more at ease eventually turned into a decade-long struggle with addiction. We talk about: Why addiction doesn’t always look the way people expect The role sensitivity plays in both struggle and healing How alcohol and drugs can become a form of self-regulation What it actually takes to get sober—and why timing matters The “gift of desperation” and hitting a true turning point Rebuilding trust with yourself and others The concept of living amends and earning your way forward through action How to begin discovering who you are when everything familiar is stripped away The difference between self-improvement and control Navigating beauty, aging, and identity in a world that constantly tells you to fix yourself Ariel also shares how meditation, curiosity, and learning to sit with herself became foundational in her recovery—and how that process continues to evolve. This conversation is really about identity, honesty, and permission. Permission to change. Permission to not have it all figured out. And permission to become someone new. Produced by Dear Media.

• What Chinese Medicine Understands About Health That We’ve Forgotten | feat. Jiaming Ju 23.03.2026 1h 21min

  In this episode, I talk with Jiaming Ju, a practitioner of Chinese medicine and a health economist whose work sits at the intersection of traditional medicine, modern health challenges, and the pressures of high-performance living. Jiaming works with a wide range of patients — from Olympic athletes and artists to CEOs and young women navigating hormonal health. What she sees in her practice is something we don’t talk about enough: the hidden cost of performance. From the outside, many of these people look like the healthiest in the room. They’re disciplined, driven, and successful. But internally, many of them are struggling with hormonal disruption, autoimmune issues, digestive problems, chronic stress, and burnout. In our conversation, we explore some of the patterns Jiaming sees again and again in her patients, and how Chinese medicine approaches health differently than the symptom-based model most of us are used to. Instead of looking at isolated diagnoses, Chinese medicine asks a bigger question: what patterns are happening in the body as a whole? Together we talk about: • Why elite athletes — especially female athletes — often struggle with hormonal disruption • The psychological pressure that comes with high performance and identity • The rise of autoimmune diseases and thyroid disorders • Why digestion and gut health are often at the center of chronic illness • The emotional patterns that can show up in physical symptoms • ADHD and how Chinese medicine interprets attention, energy, and focus • The connection between eating disorders and hormonal health • Fertility challenges and the growing reliance on IVF • How stress and modern life may be pushing many bodies out of balance • The relationship between emotional suppression and physical illness • Skin health, beauty, and what they may reveal about internal health We also talk about something that doesn’t get enough space in medical conversations: how people make decisions when facing serious diagnoses. Jiaming shares why she encourages patients to slow down when possible, ask deeper questions, and consider the broader picture of their health before rushing into fear-based decisions. This conversation is ultimately about something bigger than any single diagnosis. It’s about how we live, how we handle pressure, and how we listen — or don’t listen — to the signals our bodies are constantly sending us. For me, it was a reminder that health is rarely about one thing. It’s about the system we’re living in — physically, emotionally, and culturally.

• Forget Motivation, Do This Instead | feat. Light Watkins 16.03.2026 58min

  In this episode, I'm joined by best-selling author, kenote speaker, and presence expert, Light Watkins to discuss living more in the moment, releasing attachment to conventional goal setting, and defining success as presence and gratitude rather than comfort or material markers. Drawing from his book The Year You Transform and a yearlong program of seven-day challenges, he explains the “tortoise approach” to personal growth: small, consistent actions that fit real life, build self-trust, and reduce nervous-system strain. We explore choosing manageable discomfort, designing environments to avoid self-sabotage, and how radical accountability can provide ultimate motivation for self improvement to help you accomplish your goals.

• Your Microbiome, GLP-1 & Next-Generation Probiotics | Dr. Colleen Cutcliffe 09.03.2026 1h 16min

  What if your metabolism, cravings, immune system — even your hormones — are being shaped by your gut? In this episode of The Gabby Reece Show, Gabby sits down with microbiome scientist and Pendulum co-founder Dr. Colleen Cutcliffe to break down the real science behind gut health — beyond the buzzwords. From premature birth and early antibiotic exposure to GLP-1, estrogen, cravings, and perimenopause, this conversation connects the dots between your microbiome and nearly every major system in your body. If you’ve ever thought: “Why am I gaining weight when nothing changed?” “Why am I suddenly sensitive to foods?” “Is this just aging… or something else?” “Are GLP-1 drugs the only option?” This episode will shift how you think about your body. In This Episode, We Cover: Why the microbiome is connected to all 11 organ systems How early antibiotic use may affect long-term metabolic health The truth about GLP-1 — and how your body produces it naturally Why Akkermansia is considered a “keystone strain” Gut health and perimenopause: what’s really happening Estrogen, menopause, and emerging microbiome research Why cravings may not be about willpower How stress, aging, and travel deplete your gut Fecal microbiome transplants — what they are and why they matter How to rebuild a resilient gut (without extremes or shame) Key Takeaway The goal isn’t perfection. It’s resilience. A strong, diverse microbiome helps your body handle stress, hormonal shifts, aging, and even dietary slip-ups. And unlike your genetics — your gut can change. Start with food. Use tools wisely. Pay attention to your body.

• The Reecet Q&A: Real Questions. Real Women. Real Health. 02.03.2026 1h 2min

  This episode was recorded live at The Reecet, a three-day women’s retreat hosted by Gabby in Los Angeles. Thirty women gathered for an intimate, personalized health experience built around one goal: cutting through noise and focusing on what truly matters for women’s biology, strength, and long-term resilience. Each guest completed pre-event health testing and participated in expert-led sessions across hormones, genetics, root-cause medicine, strength training, recovery, and confidence-building. The weekend included: Hormone education with Dr. Sarah Hill DNA personalization with Kashif Khan Root-cause testing and 1:1 coaching with Dr. Ashley Beckman Confidence training through Jiu Jitsu with Cesalina Gracie Foundational health frameworks (“Basecamp”) with Juliet Starrett Recovery sessions with Dr. Jason (Therabody) HIGHX training, pool work, breathwork, fire and ice, and live discussion This particular episode captures a live Q&A session — where the women of The Reecet asked Gabby direct, unscripted questions. Topics explored in this conversation include: How to avoid overwhelm in the pursuit of health Why “doing less” can sometimes produce better outcomes The difference between discipline and rigidity How to stay consistent during busy seasons Training through injuries and life transitions Agency, intuition, and listening to your internal voice Mental resilience and friction as a growth tool Navigating self-doubt while building strength The tension between performance and presence How to build scaffolding around your life instead of chasing quick fixes Gabby also shares her biggest takeaways from hosting this first all-women retreat: Do Less. Adding more isn’t always the solution. Many women are over-supplemented, over-scheduled, and overstimulated. Removing friction — not stacking more protocols — often creates more progress. Conquer the Basics. Sleep. Strength training. Protein. Recovery. Movement. Before advanced interventions, master your foundation. Listen to Yourself. Confidence is built through self-trust. Learning to quiet outside noise — especially social media — and reconnect with your own internal signal is a lifelong skill. This episode is less about theory and more about application — what it actually looks like to build a sustainable, grounded practice as a woman balancing work, family, health, and ambition.

• Dr. Taz Unravels The Pediatrics & Nutrition Crisis Nobody's Talking About 23.02.2026 1h 24min

  This week, Gabby talks with Dr. Taz — traditionally trained physician, integrative medicine expert, and founder of Whole Plus — about what it really means to practice medicine in today’s world. They begin with the new U.S. health guidelines and unpack why Dr. Taz considers them a “win” — particularly the shift toward whole foods, protein, healthy fats, fiber, and the callout of ultra-processed foods. But the conversation quickly goes deeper. They discuss why food pairing and portion size matter more than food labels, how blood sugar and inflammation are driving modern disease, and why simple carbohydrates may be at the center of the chronic illness epidemic. From there, the episode moves into something bigger: shared decision-making in medicine. Dr. Taz explains why individualized care — especially in pediatrics — requires nuance, context, and trust between families and physicians. She shares her own journey through personal health struggles, how that experience reshaped her medical philosophy, and why healing requires more than just prescriptions and protocols. Gabby and Dr. Taz also explore: Micro habits that lower cortisol and improve metabolic health The impact of blue light and screens on inflammation Why 10-minute practices can shift your nervous system The difference between “data-driven” health and intuitive health Gender differences in how men and women approach wellness The importance of family systems in long-term healing Why medicine must move from authority to partnership At its core, this conversation isn’t about trends or controversy. It’s about reconnecting science with spirit — and empowering families to think critically, ask better questions, and practice health in ways that actually work for their lives. Chapters 00:00 – Why evidence-based holistic medicine matters 05:00 – The new U.S. health guidelines: what changed 10:00 – Simple carbs, insulin resistance, and inflammation 15:00 – Full-fat foods, meat, and food pairing nuance 22:00 – Why personalization beats rigid rules 30:00 – Gender differences in health blind spots 40:00 – Micro habits: 10-minute practices that shift cortisol 50:00 – Personalized medicine and micro-dosing prescriptions 58:00 – Pediatric care, shared decision-making, and gut health 1:08:00 – Trust in medicine and rebuilding relationships 1:18:00 – Medicine as a calling, not a business 1:24:00 – What keeps Dr. Taz grounded Key Takeaways • Pairing and portions matter more than labels. • Inflammation and blood sugar instability drive most chronic disease. • Micro habits can regulate cortisol without overwhelming change. • Health is contextual — environment, stress, and family systems all matter. • Personalized medicine isn’t alternative — it’s responsible. • Shared decision-making builds trust between doctors and families. • Nervous system regulation may be the foundation of long-term healing.

• Rejection in Hollywood Taught Me This About Success | feat. Luke Cook 16.02.2026 1h 26min

  Actor, creator, and entrepreneur Luke Cook joins Gabby Reece for an honest, funny, and deeply reflective conversation about creativity, rejection, faith, and building a meaningful life. Luke shares his unconventional journey from growing up in Australia as the youngest of five, to chasing comedy and acting in Hollywood — including seven years of near-constant auditions with little visible success. He speaks candidly about rejection, identity, and why loving the craft itself matters more than external validation. The conversation moves fluidly between creativity and discipline, faith and doubt, ego and humility. Luke reflects on fatherhood, marriage, and the grounding power of family — as well as the importance of play, presence, and not taking success (or failure) too seriously. They also explore Luke’s entrepreneurial ventures, including building a “no-weird-stuff” protein shake brand, creative coaching for founders, and using humor to communicate without shame. Throughout, Luke emphasizes curiosity, integrity, and joy as essential ingredients for longevity — in work and in life. This episode is about staying in the game, trusting the process, and remembering that success isn’t a destination — it’s how you live along the way. ⏱️ CHAPTERS - Intro & meeting Luke - Growing up the youngest of five - Early love of performance and comedy - Discipline, training, and loving the craft - Moving to LA & chasing the dream - Years of auditions and rejection - Ego, ambition, and humility - Faith, doubt, and finding a north star - Marriage, fatherhood, and family grounding - Creativity vs. external validation - Building a values-driven business - Content, comedy, and honest communication - Relationships, partnership, and play - What success really looks like - Staying joyful in uncertainty - Closing reflections  WHAT STAYED WITH ME Loving the work matters more than loving the outcome. Rejection doesn’t end careers — quitting does. Discipline follows passion. When you care deeply enough, showing up becomes natural. Ego needs humility to stay healthy. Confidence fuels performance; humility keeps you grounded. Family changes the definition of success. Responsibility, presence, and play become the real markers. Faith doesn’t eliminate doubt. It gives you somewhere to return when things feel unstable. Joy is a choice. Especially when the path forward isn’t clear. WHY IT’S WORTH SLOWING DOWN FOR THIS We live in a culture that celebrates instant success and overnight wins — often ignoring the long, invisible seasons of work that come before them. Luke’s story is a reminder that staying in the game matters. That creativity doesn’t expire. And that meaning is built through patience, integrity, and connection — not applause. If you’re navigating uncertainty, rejection, or a season of waiting, this conversation offers perspective worth sitting with.

• Laird Hamilton on Marriage, Partnership, and Building Love That Lasts 09.02.2026 1h 2min

  This week, Gabby sits down at home with her husband and partner of more than three decades, Laird Hamilton, for an honest conversation about love — not the romanticized version, but the lived-in, day-to-day kind. Together, they reflect on what has sustained their relationship through parenting, careers, loss, pressure, and growth. From small daily habits to hard conversations, they talk about why love is built through consistency, not intensity — and why partnership works best when you act like teammates, not competitors. They explore what it means to love through action, how independence actually strengthens intimacy, and why respect, service, and endurance matter more than grand declarations. They also share lessons on parenting daughters, staying playful, navigating conflict, and creating freedom inside commitment. It’s a raw, funny, and deeply human look at what it takes to stay connected — and why the strongest relationships are built slowly, deliberately, and with care. Chapters 00:00 — A Valentine’s conversation at home 03:10 — Teammates vs. competitors 07:40 — Love as action, not words 11:20 — Facing conflict instead of avoiding it 16:00 — Why you can’t “save” someone 19:30 — Stop searching, start becoming 23:00 — Service and showing up for each other 27:30 — Chemistry, passion, and partnership 31:15 — Repairing trust after hard seasons 35:00 — Pride, forgiveness, and endurance 40:20 — Need-to-know communication 45:10 — Parenting daughters & modeling respect 50:30 — Accountability, movement, and staying healthy together 55:00 — Community, friendships, and why people matter 59:30 — Freedom inside commitment 1:04:00 — Appreciation, daily habits, and the small things that last What Stayed With Me Love is built in small, repeatable moments. It’s the daily coffee, the airport ride, the quiet acts of care. Endurance matters more than intensity. Staying is often the bravest thing you can do. You can’t save someone. Two whole people make a stronger partnership than two halves. Respect fuels attraction. Trust grows when both people consistently hit the mark. Service is strength. Helping your partner win doesn’t make you smaller — it makes the team stronger. Freedom and commitment can coexist. The healthiest love gives both security and space. Community is medicine. Relationships — not achievements — sustain long-term happiness. Why This Matters We live in a culture that chases quick fixes and big gestures. But the research — and real life — show that long-term happiness comes from steady relationships, honest communication, and shared effort. This episode is a reminder that love isn’t something you find once. It’s something you practice — every day. Whether you’re partnered, single, married, or rebuilding, these principles apply to every relationship in your life.

• Why Muscle Is the Key to Longevity (and Most People Are Ignoring It) | feat. Dr. Gabrielle Lyon 02.02.2026 1h 2min

  Dr. Gabrielle Lyon—physician and leading voice in muscle-centric medicine— returns to talk with Gabby Reece about her new book, Forever Strong: The Playbook—a practical, tactical guide to building strength for life. They unpack why the health conversation went sideways into weight-loss obsession, why sarcopenia (loss of muscle and strength) may be the next major epidemic—especially in the era of GLP-1s—and how muscle impacts everything from blood sugar to long-term brain health. They also get into what “neutrality” looks like for high performers, why consistency is less about motivation and more about clarity, and how to simplify protein and training without making it complicated. Plus: recovery, minimum effective dose, intramuscular fat vs. body fat, blood flow restriction training, and why Dr. Lyon keeps her kids off screens. Produced by Dear Media.
