Every episode of the Heal Nourish Grow Podcast is designed to give you information you can put into practice right away. Topics rotate across several core areas that reflect the latest in health and wellness research.

Nutrition and Weight Loss: From keto and carnivore to high protein strategies and GLP-1 medications, the podcast breaks down what actually works for sustainable fat loss. I share my own experience maintaining a low carb lifestyle since 2017 along with insights from leading nutrition researchers.

Longevity and Healthy Aging: Episodes cover peptides like KPV and BPC-157, NMN vs NAD supplementation, functional health testing, biological age and practical longevity strategies. As someone who carries the ApoE 3/4 genotype, I take these topics personally.

Body Composition and Fitness: I have tracked my own body composition via DEXA scans since 2017 and competed as an NPC Fit Model at 52. Episodes cover protein intake, strength training, creatine and how to protect lean mass during weight loss.

Wearables and Health Technology: I simultaneously wear multiple wearable devices to compare their data head to head. The podcast features in-depth discussions about the Hume Band, Oura Ring, Whoop, continuous glucose monitors and the latest in sleep tracking technology.

Intermittent Fasting and Metabolic Health: From time-restricted eating protocols to fasting-mimicking approaches, the podcast explores how fasting strategies fit into a healthy lifestyle. I also cover metabolic flexibility, insulin resistance and blood sugar optimization.

Gut Health and Functional Medicine: Conversations with naturopathic doctors, functional health practitioners and researchers exploring the gut microbiome, food sensitivities and root-cause approaches to chronic health issues.
