In this episode, Tara talks with mold expert Ariana Thacker, indoor-living researcher Dr. John La Puma, and regenerative rancher Eric Perner about the hidden environmental exposures shaping modern health.

Ariana Thacker is a chemical engineer, venture capitalist, and the founder and CEO of MoldCo, a health-tech platform addressing mold toxicity. After co-founding Conscience VC to invest in science-driven startups, Ariana launched MoldCo, inspired by her own health journey.

Eric Perner spent most of his early life and career on horseback learning the craft and trade of equine athletic competitions at the highest level. Eric owns the Double P Ranch in Mounds, Oklahoma where they produce grass-fed beef, goat, lamb and pastured pork as part of the supply chain for REP Provisions. He operates his ranch as a Savory Global Business Hub to provide restoration grazing education and guidance for other local ranchers in the methods of holistic management to create the conditions that lead to the regeneration of our native grasslands.

John La Puma, MD, ChefMD™ is a two-time New York Times bestselling author, board-certified internist, and professionally trained chef who pioneered Culinary Medicine. He now pioneers EcoMedicine from his small regenerative teaching farm. His upcoming book, Indoor Epidemic, reveals how spending 93% of life indoors steals sleep, focus, and years, and how reclaiming just 7% outdoors can restore them using the evidence-based Outdoor Rx framework.

In this episode, three guests — NFL veteran Robert Gallery, nervous system coach Kristin Weitzel, and psychedelic therapist Dori Lewis — share how Ibogaine, 5-MeO-DMT, and mushroom medicine helped them reach trauma that talk therapy, willpower, and every tool they already had couldn't touch on their own.

Robert Gallery is a former professional football player and a 2023 College Football Hall of Fame inductee. Following his professional career, Gallery experienced mental health challenges associated with repeated head injuries and alcohol dependency. Ibogaine treatment was a significant part of his personal recovery. He co-founded Athletes for Care to support other athletes navigating similar post-career challenges and to advocate for research and awareness around athlete mental health.

Kristin Weitzel is a force of nature: a master of both strategic brilliance and soulful transformation. With two decades of experience building Fortune 500 brands—she's helmed multi-million-dollar campaigns and orchestrated world-class consumer experiences. But her deepest work began when she turned her experiential mastery inward, applying the same curiosity, drive, and devotion to the human experience. Now, as an expert who speaks on global stages, the founder of SHERPA Breath & Cold, and host of the WELLPOWER Podcast, Kristin has become a trusted leader in health optimization, nervous system regulation, and biohacking.

Dori Lewis is a licensed psychotherapist, clinical supervisor, and co-founder of Elemental Psychedelics. She is also the owner of Reflective Healing Center in Fort Collins, Colorado, a psychotherapy group practice and licensed healing center specializing in psychedelic-assisted therapy, including ketamine and psilocybin, as well as integration therapy and transpersonal psychotherapy. Dori is a licensed Natural Medicine Clinical Facilitator in Colorado and serves as a clinical consultant in mushroom medicine work.

Your blood sugar isn't just about sugar — it's tangled up with your gut, your immune system, and how your whole metabolism runs. This episode pulls together three conversations that build on each other, from one guy's simple fix to the bigger picture behind it all — meet your three experts below.

Most people with type 2 diabetes are told it's a forever sentence. Chris Reade was one of them. In 2017, his A1C hit 9.1 with zero warning. He refused medication, did the research, and built a food system around the science of soluble fiber. Six months later, his A1C was 5.5. Seven years later, it has never gone back up.

Danielle Hamilton is a Functional Nutritional Therapy Practitioner & Restorative Wellness Practitioner who specializes in blood sugar regulation & digestion. She became interested in blood sugar issues when she learned that Insulin Resistance was at the root of her PCOS. She was able to reverse her PCOS, cystic acne, PMS & weight loss resistance by reversing Insulin Resistance.

Joel Greene is the very first gut-health protocol teacher, the original biohacker that utilizes the immune system and the family of insulin hormones to create lasting health. Joel has spoken on other top podcasts such as Ben Greenfield's Life and Cynthia Thurlow's Everyday Wellness.

In this episode, you'll hear three experts connect the dots between blood sugar, gut health, and metabolism — starting with one guy's simple fix and ending with the bigger picture behind it all.

Dr. Christopher Cortman has facilitated over 80,000 hours of psychotherapy during his distinguished career spanning ​forty years. A Florida Licensed Psychologist, he maintains a thriving private practice while specializing in emotional trauma and anxiety disorders. ​

He's appeared nationwide on talk radio and television. The acclaimed author of ​f​ive previous books, his new book, The Guided Imagery Cure: The Best Proven Methods for Quickly Resolving and Healing Trauma, describes a profoundly impactful tool for addressing trauma, grief, and more.

In this episode, psychologist Dr. Christopher Cortman shares 40 years of guided imagery techniques for resolving trauma and grief, walking through real cases—from a suicidal police trainee to a WWII veteran's 80-year nightmare—to show how confronting and reframing unfinished pain, rather than just letting time pass, is what actually leads to healing.

Ric Scalzo began his exploration of herbal and naturopathic medicine in 1980, delving into fields such as Naturopathic Herbal Medicine, Eclectic Herbal Medicine, Ayurvedic Medicine, Traditional Chinese Medicine, and various diagnostic methods. He earned a master's degree in Herbal Medicine from the School of Herbal Medicine and was awarded an Honorary Doctorate of Naturopathic Medicine from Southwest College of Naturopathic Medicine.

After several years of medical practice, Ric founded Gaia Herbs in 1987 and grew Gaia to the most respected and successful herbal company in the country. After selling Gaia in 2019, Ric established the Institute of Botanical Research in Arizona and established CR Medicinal Farms, a regenerative organic farm in Costa Rica. These became the stepping stones for his new adventure called Kokora, a herbal products company focused on regenerative organic cultivation with a mission to "create the finest herbal remedies that promote health and vitality for all".

Celebrated for his pioneering work in Herbal Medicine and his dedication to preserving herbal integrity for over four decades, Ric continues to innovate in the field and plays a key role in integrating regenerative agriculture with herbal medicine.

In this episode, Ric Scalzo explores how regenerative herbal farming, constitution‑based botanical formulas, and aligned sleep practices can radically upgrade immune resilience, metabolic health, and inner‑outer environment regeneration.

Dr. Catharine Arnston is an expert on algae nutrition, a wellness thought leader, an experienced entrepreneur and sought after speaker.

In 2008 Catharine left her corporate job to care for her sister who was diagnosed with breast cancer. When Catharine learned that algae's vast healing properties were documented in tens of thousands of scientific studies, but none of these studies or benefits were known outside of Asia, she knew she had to do something. And that's how ENERGYbits was born!

In this episode, Dr. Catharine Arnston and Tara dive into how spirulina and chlorella microalgae power mitochondria, detox the body, support gut health, and plug into biohacking and women's longevity.

Eric Perner spent most of his early life and career on horseback learning the craft and trade of equine athletic competitions at the highest level.

After competing nationwide as a professional journeymen jockey for 10 years he retired and completed his Mechanical Engineering degree at the University of Tulsa, he has since received his Professional Engineering license and served in multiple executive roles in the O&G industry.

Later he moved on from the extractive O&G industry and became a full time cattle rancher, Co-Founder/CEO of REP Provisions, a direct to consumer supplier of locally raised regenerative meats from local family farms, and COO of Rebellion Energy Solutions, a company focusing on the plugging of leaking O&G wells and the restoration of these lands to regenerative landscapes.

He uses his diverse skill sets to develop unique environmental solutions in the Energy Industry and for various problems facing agriculture. Eric is an educator on the topic of regenerative agriculture and his unique insights show why cattle can be an intricate and necessary part of our grassland ecosystems; however, the improper management of cattle can lead to environmental degradation.

Eric owns the Double P Ranch in Mounds, Oklahoma where they produce grass-fed beef, goat, lamb and pastured pork as part of the supply chain for REP Provisions. He operates his ranch as a Savory Global Business Hub to provide restoration grazing education and guidance for other local ranchers in the methods of holistic management to create the conditions that lead to the regeneration of our native grasslands.

In this episode, Tara and regenerative rancher Eric Perner dive into how truly regenerative agriculture restores soil, water cycles, and biodiversity while improving human health and why voting with your food dollars really matters.

Harry Massey is a Bioenergetics Pioneer, bestselling author, award-winning filmmaker, and Quantum Wellness Visionary whose life's work was forged through one of the most unlikely paths to healing imaginable.

After a catastrophic mountaineering accident left him bedridden for nearly a decade, Harry discovered firsthand what happens when every health system fails you — Western, holistic, and functional alike. Determined to survive, he turned to physics.

Through his research, Harry co-founded one of the world's first R&D companies in bioenergetics and spent two decades building technology that could measure, manage, and master the human energy field.

Today, Harry is the Founder & CEO of Energy4Life and the visionary behind some of the most groundbreaking bioenergetic technologies in the world — including the miHealth Device, the Bioenergetic Voice Scan, and the GEM Wearable, an AI-powered device that detects and corrects emotional energy imbalances in real time.

Beyond his work as an entrepreneur and inventor, Harry is a bestselling author and the writer, director, and producer of several documentaries, including the award-winning film The Living Matrix. His latest film is set to release Summer 2026 — a timely and powerful exploration of what it means to heal at the energetic level.

In this episode, Tara and Harry Massey dive into bioenergetics, infoceuticals, and wearable tech that aim to restore "energy for life" by imprinting corrective information into the body's energy field.

Robert Gallery is a former professional football player and a 2023 College Football Hall of Fame inductee. He played collegiate football at the University of Iowa, earning unanimous All-American honors and the 2003 Outland Trophy. Gallery was selected second overall in the 2004 NFL Draft and played eight seasons in the NFL with the Oakland Raiders and Seattle Seahawks.

Following his professional career, Gallery experienced mental health challenges associated with repeated head injuries and alcohol dependency. Ibogaine treatment was a significant part of his personal recovery. He co-founded Athletes for Care to support other athletes navigating similar post-career challenges and to advocate for research and awareness around athlete mental health.

In this episode, former NFL star Robert Gallery shares how severe CTE symptoms, failed conventional treatments, and suicidal despair led him to medically supervised ibogaine and 5‑MeO‑DMT therapy in Mexico, catalyzing profound neurological, emotional, and spiritual healing and inspiring his Athletes for Care advocacy work.
