  In this back-to-school episode of Grounded Wellness, Bethany sits down with Hilary Boynton— chef, author, GAPS Certified Coach, mom of five and the founder of School of Lunch — to unpack what's really being served to kids at school and how parents can build a stronger foundation for their children's health through real, nutrient-dense food.Hilary shares how her own family's health challenges led her to rethink everything she knew about nutrition and eventually transform a school lunch program from the ground up. Together, Bethany and Hilary explore the impact ultra-processed foods and blood sugar spikes can have on kids, why traditional and ancestral foods are disappearing from our diets, and what can happen when we return to simpler ways of nourishing our families.They also get practical on what to feed kids for more stable, sustained energy, Hilary's favorite foods for supporting kids during back-to-school season, what to do with picky eaters, and why family dinner doesn't need to be complicated to be nourishing.This conversation is a reminder that raising healthy kids doesn't require perfect meals or complicated recipes. It starts with rebuilding our connection to real food, teaching kids where their food comes from, and giving them a foundation they can return to for the rest of their lives.If you loved this episode, be sure to subscribe, leave a review, and share it with another parent heading into the back-to-school season.Resources:Follow Chef Hilary Boynton on Instagram: @chefhilaryboyntonSubscribe to Chef Hilary Boynton on Substack: substack.com/@chefhilaryboyntonVisit the Consultancy: www.consulting.schooloflunch.comDonate to SōL West Foundation: www.sol-west.orgSchool of Lunch Training Academy: www.schooloflunch.com/trainingacademyHilary’s book: The Heal Your Gut Cookbook Explore More from Primally Pure:Follow Bethany: https://www.instagram.com/bethanyjmcdaniel/Shop Primally Pure: https://bit.ly/4e1HzVvBlog: https://bit.ly/4gAeIsYInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/primallypureTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@primallypureMentioned in the Episode:Weston A.

  Ep 50: Circadian Biology Expert on The Missing Piece of Modern Wellness 18.03.2026 1時間 20分

  Is the sun actually medicine?Most of us have been taught to fear sunlight. At best, we think of it as a way to get vitamin D. At worst, we see it as something that damages our skin and accelerates aging.But what if the human body actually runs on light?In this episode of Grounded Wellness, we sit down with heliotherapy practitioner and circadian biology educator Zaid Dahhaj to explore the deeper science of sunlight and how it programs nearly every system in the body.From hormones and metabolism to skin repair, sleep, and mitochondrial function, light acts as one of the most powerful biological signals we receive every day.We discuss why modern life has disconnected us from the natural light cycles our bodies evolved around, how artificial blue light may be disrupting our health, and why the sun might be one of the most misunderstood forces in modern medicine.We also break down how different times of day affect the body differently. Morning sunlight, midday UV exposure, and sunset all play unique roles in regulating circadian rhythms, producing hormones, supporting mitochondrial energy, and even protecting the skin.If you’re eating clean, exercising, and doing “all the right things” but still feeling tired, inflamed, or out of sync, your light environment may be the missing piece.Use code GROUNDED20 at checkout for 20% off of Eucalyptus + Lavender Body Butter.

  Ep 49: Stem Cell Doctor on Aging Backwards and Full Body Rejuvenation 04.03.2026 1時間 19分

  So much of modern “anti-aging” is built on fear - fear of wrinkles, fear of decline, fear that your best years are behind you. But what if aging isn’t just something to fight, but something to understand?In this episode of Grounded Wellness, Bethany McDaniel sits down with Dr. Joy Kong (UCLA-trained, triple board-certified stem cell specialist) to demystify regenerative medicine and reframe what stem cells actually are: not magic, not science fiction - but part of the original intelligence of life itself.Dr. Joy takes us all the way back to the beginning - the single stem cell that became you - and explains how stem cells work in the body today, why they matter for repair, and what’s real versus hype in the rapidly growing stem cell world. From autoimmune conditions and neurological recovery to skin rejuvenation, hair health, and even fertility markers, she unpacks what she’s seen clinically, what research suggests, and where language matters when it comes to FDA-approved claims.Bethany also asks the questions most people are thinking (but don’t know how to ask): What’s the difference between autologous vs. allogeneic stem cells? How are umbilical cord-derived cells sourced and screened? What are the risks? How do critics misunderstand the research? And can supplements or therapies really “mobilize” your body’s own stem cells - or does that just burn through your supply faster?This conversation isn’t just about stem cells. It’s about what it means to heal, to repair, and to reclaim agency over your health with wisdom, discernment, and a long-term view of the body.In this episode, we cover: What stem cells actually are (and why the “hype” exists)The “gold standard” stem cells being used today: mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs)How MSCs “trace signals” and support the body’s repair processesAutologous vs. allogeneic cells - and why source matters as we ageWhat umbilical cord donor screening looks like (and what ethical sourcing means)Why stem cell claims are complicated in the U.S. (FDA language + approvals)What the research suggests stem cells may support across organ systemsExosomes vs. stem cells: what’s different, what lasts longer, what’s more targetedStem cell “mobilizers” (exercise, hyperbaric oxygen, supplements): helpful or risky?Skin, hair, and aesthetic regeneration - what actually works and whyPeptides, sauna, and other longevity tools Dr. Joy uses clinicallyExplore Primally Pure:Shop Clean Skincare: https://bit.ly/4e1HzVvLearn More from Dr. Joy Kong:Website: joykongmd.comBook: Tiger of Beijing: on AmazonYoutube: Joy Kong MD ChannelPodcast: The Dr Joy Kong PodcastInstagram: @dr_joy_kongFollow Primally Pure:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/primallypureTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@primallypureYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCHLEirBmkKP7jGx4vF05oRAPrimally Pure App: https://primallypure.onelink.me/jJun/et56748s

  Ep 48: The Hidden Switch Controlling Your Weight, Skin, and Energy w/ Candi Frazier 11.02.2026 1時間 32分

  Most women don’t want to lose weight just to hit a number on the scale. They want to feel confident, attractive, and comfortable in their own body again. And yet for so many women, even eating clean and working out feels like it’s not enough.In this episode of Grounded Wellness, Bethany McDaniel sits down with functional nutritionist and Primal Bod founder Candi Frazier - a woman whose own health journey led her to uncover what most weight-loss conversations completely miss: insulin, metabolism, and the hidden signals that decide whether your body stores fat or burns it.Candi shares how years of “doing everything right” - clean eating, calorie restriction, intense workouts, keto, paleo, fasting - still left her stuck in a body that wouldn’t respond. The breakthrough didn’t come from more discipline. It came from understanding insulin, blood sugar, and how women’s bodies actually work - especially under chronic stress.Together, Bethany and Candi unpack why so many women feel trapped in cycles of hypoglycemia, cravings, stubborn weight gain, hormonal chaos, and burnout-and how those symptoms often show up long before a lab test ever flags a problem. They explore why insulin resistance can exist even in women who look “healthy,” how visceral fat drives inflammation and aging, and why most mainstream nutrition advice unintentionally keeps women stuck.This conversation challenges nearly every modern wellness narrative - from constant snacking and “healthy” paleo treats to aggressive fasting, overtraining, and the belief that fat loss is about willpower. Instead, it reframes fat as information, hunger as a signal, and metabolism as something that can be rebuilt - not punished.If you’ve ever felt like your body is working against you, this episode will change how you think about food, movement, fasting, hormones, and what it actually means to be healthy.In this episode, we explore:Why insulin, not calories, is the master switch for fat lossHow hypoglycemia, cravings, and “hanger” signal deeper metabolic issuesWhy keto and paleo often fail women (even when done “right”)The difference between visceral fat vs. protective fat - and why it mattersHow insulin resistance shows up on the skin before labs catch itWhy more fasting isn’t always better (especially for women)Protein, muscle, and finding your personal “Goldilocks zone”Why meat-first eating stabilizes hormones, appetite, and energyHow movement, walking, and post-meal activity improve insulin sensitivityThe difference between pleasure, joy, and long-term healthThis is an honest, no-nonsense conversation about metabolism, modern food environments, and reclaiming agency over your body - without extremes, starvation, or shame.Episode Resources:Pottenger’s Cats: A Study in Nutrition by Francis M.

  Ep 47: Why Pain Doesn’t Go Away (Even After Your Body Heals) w/ Vinny Crispino 28.01.2026 1時間 19分

  Most of us only think about movement when something hurts. But what if the stiffness you’ve been ignoring is actually your body’s early warning system - not a life sentence, but information?In this episode of Grounded Wellness, Bethany McDaniel sits down with Vinny Crispino (Pain Academy) - an eight-time All-American athlete whose life changed after a surfing accident left him with a broken back and years of relentless, chronic pain. What followed wasn’t a simple “rehab protocol,” but decade-long unraveling of what pain really is - and why so many people stay stuck even after tissue heals.Vinny breaks down the missing link most pain conversations skip: the nervous system. He shares why chasing a “perfect” squat, the “right” posture, or the one miracle stretch can keep you trapped in an endless loop - and how healing often begins when we stop trying to outthink the body and start learning to feel safe inside it again.Together, Bethany and Vinny explore why pain isn’t always a structural problem, why rest and ice shouldn’t be the long-term strategy, and how tiny “micro-doses” of movement throughout the day can re-train your body far more effectively than heroic bursts of workouts followed by hours of sitting. They also dive into the mindset shift that changes everything: meeting sensation with curiosity instead of fear - because the meaning we attach to pain can be the very thing that keeps it alive.This conversation is equal parts practical and deeply human. Whether you’re rebuilding from injury, stuck in chronic pain, or simply trying to futureproof your body for a long, capable life - this one will change how you think about movement, healing, and your relationship with your body.In this episode, we explore:Why squatting is a “position of rest” - and what it reveals about mobility + balanceThe truth about knees over toes and why rigid movement rules can backfireHow pain can become chronic even after the body healsWhat’s happening in the brain when fear plus pain become a loopWhy “rest + ice” shouldn’t be the strategy (and what to do instead)The difference between stretching what’s tight vs. moving what’s tightMicro-dosing movement: simple ways to move more without overhauling your lifeVinny’s “minimum standard of movement” (and why it’s the key to consistency)Explore Primally Pure:Shop Clean Skincare: https://bit.ly/4e1HzVvLearn More from Vinny Crispino:Website: https://painacademy.net/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/painacademy/Follow Primally Pure:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/primallypureTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@primallypureYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCHLEirBmkKP7jGx4vF05oRA

  Ep. 46: Why Women Feel Off And What’s Really Causing It With Dr. Austin Lake 14.01.2026 1時間 5分

  So many women are doing all the “right” things - eating clean, working out, staying busy - and yet still feel tired, inflamed, foggy, and stuck in a body that doesn’t respond. The frustration isn’t laziness. It’s often a body that’s been running on stress for too long.In this episode of Grounded Wellness, Bethany McDaniel sits down with Dr. Austin Lake, a functional medicine practitioner who helps women uncover the quiet, compounding drivers behind fatigue, stubborn weight gain, hormone imbalance, and burnout. Instead of chasing quick fixes, Dr. Lake points us back to something both ancient and surprisingly overlooked: our daily rhythms - how we wake, eat, move, and rest in alignment with the sun.What starts as a conversation about circadian rhythm becomes a bigger invitation: to rebuild the body’s foundation through consistent sleep, morning light, steady nourishment, and a reduced toxic load - not as another “protocol,” but as a way to restore calm, clarity, and resilience from the inside out.Together, Bethany and Dr. Lake explore why modern wellness trends can sometimes backfire for women - like skipping breakfast, fasting too aggressively, overtraining, and leaning on caffeine to power through the day. They also discuss hidden stressors that can keep women feeling stuck (like mold exposure, hormone-disrupting toxins, and impaired thyroid conversion), and why true healing often requires consistency more than intensity.This conversation is a reminder that vitality isn’t built in extremes. It’s built in small, repeatable decisions - the kind that bring the nervous system back to safety and the body back to balance.In this episode, we explore:Why so many women feel burnt out even when they’re “healthy”How cortisol, meal timing, and circadian rhythm shape hormones + metabolismThe hidden reasons weight loss can feel impossible (even with effort)Why “first get healthy, then get fit” matters - especially for womenDetox, thyroid function, and reducing daily toxic burdenDr. Lake’s most practical first step for feeling better: set a bedtime alarmBiblical References (NIV translations):Genesis 1:29 Then God said, “I give you every seed-bearing plant on the face of the whole earth and every tree that has fruit with seed in it. They will be yours for food.Genesis 9:3 Everything that lives and moves about will be food for you. Just as I gave you the green plants, I now give you everything.Explore Primally Pure:Shop Clean Skincare: https://bit.ly/4e1HzVvLearn More from Dr. Austin Lake:Website: https://wholly.health/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/dr.austin.lake/?hl=enBook: https://wholly.health/bookFollow Primally Pure:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/primallypureTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@primallypureYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCHLEirBmkKP7jGx4vF05oRA

  Ep. 44: Amish Farmer Tells All: Food, Faith, Family & the Fight for Raw Milk 17.12.2025 1時間 7分

  In a culture obsessed with convenience, speed, and shelf life, we’ve quietly traded away something essential: real nourishment. Food today is engineered to last longer, travel farther, and cost less — but at what cost to our health, our families, and our connection to the land?On this episode of Grounded Wellness, Bethany McDaniel sits down with Amos Miller, an Amish farmer and steward of one of the most well-known raw dairy farms in the country. Amos doesn’t speak in trends or talking points — he speaks from generations of lived wisdom, faith, and direct relationship with the soil. His story is about more than raw milk; it’s about food freedom, community, and the responsibility of feeding the body what it was designed to thrive on.Learn More from Amos Miller:Website: https://amosmillerorganicfarm.comEmail: info@amosmillerorganicfarm.comPhone: 717-556-0672Explore Primally Pure:Shop Clean Skincare: https://bit.ly/4e1HzVvFollow Primally Pure:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/primallypureTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@primallypureYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCHLEirBmkKP7jGx4vF05oRA

  Ep 43: The Fertility Myths You Still Believe — with the Founders of We Natal 03.12.2025 1時間 6分

  For generations, we’ve been told a simple story: fertility just happens. Try hard enough, be patient, and eventually it will work. But for WeNatal founders Ronit Menashe and Vita Delrahim, that belief led to heartbreak — miscarriages just one week apart, each followed by the same vague explanation: “It’s just bad luck.”They didn’t accept that. Instead, they started asking deeper questions — and what they uncovered challenged everything they’d been taught about conception. From the global fertility crisis to sperm count decline, toxin overload, and the outdated notion that fertility is “a women’s issue,” their discoveries revealed a shocking truth: we’ve been approaching fertility all wrong.On this episode of Grounded Wellness, Bethany McDaniel sits down with the WeNatal co-founders to expose what’s really driving modern infertility, why men make up half the fertility equation, and how couples can reclaim their power long before the positive pregnancy test.Together, Bethany, Ronit, and Vita unpack the environmental, biological, and emotional forces shaping fertility today. They explore the dramatic 50-year decline in sperm counts; the rising rates of miscarriage, autoimmune conditions, and hormonal dysfunction; and why “trimester zero” — the 3–6 months before conception — is where the real magic happens.This episode is packed with practical insights for every couple: how to detox your environment, strengthen your mitochondria, choose the right prenatal, regulate stress, improve sleep, and understand the profound genetic impact of men’s health on future children.Above all, it’s a hopeful conversation. Because once you understand the factors influencing fertility, there is so much you can do to improve it.Explore Primally Pure:Shop Clean Skincare: https://bit.ly/4e1HzVvLearn More from WeNatal:Website: https://wenatal.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/we_natal/Ronit Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ronitmenashe_/Vida Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/vidadelrahim/Offer for Grounded Wellness ListenersWhen you subscribe to WeNatal using our link listeners will get a free Magnesium with their order!

  Ep 42: The True Cost of Fast Fashion with Cleobella Founder Angela O’Brien 19.11.2025 55分

  Fast fashion has a hidden price tag — one that isn’t printed on a receipt. Beyond the checkout counter lies a cost paid by artisans, ecosystems, and future generations. Yet, for many consumers, that reality remains unseen.In this episode of Grounded Wellness, Bethany McDaniel sits down with Angela O’Brien, founder of the globally celebrated sustainable fashion brand Cleobella. What began as a dream of freedom and creativity — and a $12,000 savings account — has evolved into a movement for mindful design and ethical production. From organic fibers and plant-based dyes to small-batch, artisan-made pieces, Angela’s approach to fashion redefines what it means to wear your values.Through her story, we’re reminded that conscious consumerism isn’t about perfection — it’s about progress. As Angela shares, “Every purchase is a vote for the kind of world we want to live in.”Together, Bethany and Angela explore the ripple effects of every clothing choice — how a single garment can support entire artisan communities, sustain generational craftsmanship, and protect the planet. They unpack the meaning of slow fashion, circular design, and natural fiber innovation, while discussing why mindful shopping and small-batch production matter more than ever.This conversation invites listeners to see fashion not as disposable, but as a living story of human hands, creativity, and connection. You’ll walk away inspired to rethink your closet — and to celebrate the beauty of buying less, but better.Explore Primally Pure:Shop Clean Skincare: https://bit.ly/4e1HzVvLearn More from Cleobella:Website: https://cleobella.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/cleobellaAngela's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/angieob/Follow Primally Pure:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/primallypureTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@primallypureYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCHLEirBmkKP7jGx4vF05oRA
