Wellness Reimagined

Ever feel like you’re never really finished with work, because the inbox keeps filling long after the day ends? On Wellness Reimagined, host Swati and founder Dylan Bost look at what constant connection does to our wellbeing.

Dylan shares how replying instantly trained everyone to expect him always on, and the simple shifts that helped him take back his focus: a micro pause before reacting, set times for email, and kind but clear boundaries.

About the Guest:

Dylan Bost has been in business for over 30 years, from architecture to running a branding agency to co-founding Sunny HQ, a human-first WordPress company. He now also coaches and speaks, and is the author of The Seven Mirrors.

Key Takeaways:

• Treat every email as a chance to solve the problem, not pass it on.
• Take a micro pause before you react to a message.
• Replying instantly trains people to expect you always on.
• Close your inbox and check it at set times, not all day.
• Every interruption costs more focus than the moment it takes.
• Agree a “red flag” for urgent messages, then hold your boundary.

What if wellness isn’t something you chase, buy or optimize, but something you feel within? On Wellness Reimagined, Tamara Croes questions the trends and checklists and asks what it really takes to feel whole.

Tamara shares how noticing she was more away from home than with her family led her to change the way she lives, why breaking old patterns can feel isolating at first, and how to keep going when fear shows up.

About the Guest:

Tamara Croes lives in the Netherlands and is a mother of five. Together with her partner, she chose to step off the conventional path so her family could live, work and raise their children together, on their own terms.

Key Takeaways:

• Wellness starts with how you speak to yourself, not the latest trend.
• The people around you shape your patterns, so notice who’s in your circle.
• Breaking a pattern can feel isolating; start with the small circle you have.
• Fear will speak up; let it, then choose not to stay there.
• You don’t need every step mapped out; life isn’t meant to be fully known.
• When someone you love slips back, give them space and hold the vision.

Episode Chapters (approx.):

[00:00] Welcome to Wellness Reimagined: wellness beyond apps and checklists

[01:30] The Biggest Wellness Myth: why we search for it outside ourselves

[03:00] Start in the Mirror: how you speak to yourself

What if wellness isn't something you buy or achieve, but whatever truly helps you feel well? This episode of Wellness Reimagined questions the "shoulds" that turn self-care into another performance.

Rally News founder Sam Brooks shares why a practice that works for one person may drain another, how intentional media habits lower everyday anxiety, and why the goal matters more than the routine.

About the Guest:

Sam Brooks is the founder of Rally News, a positive news aggregator built as an alternative to social media algorithms. He is passionate about helping people be more intentional about the media they consume.

Key Takeaways:

• Wellness is anything that helps you feel at peace, not a checklist of trends.
• If you keep asking whether a practice serves you, it may not.
• Be intentional about media, especially in the first minutes of your day.
• Give a new routine a few weeks. If it feels like a chore, replace it with another.
• Hold on to the intention. The routine is only the path to it.

What if wellness isn't a destination you reach, but a way of living in line with who you really are? This episode of Wellness Reimagined is for anyone chasing a perfect routine or a life that looks good on paper but feels out of place.

Life coach Liz Coleman shares how to find your highest values, why molding yourself to others' expectations creates stress, and how asking "What would my highest self do?" helps you respond instead of react.

About the Guest

Liz Coleman is a New York-based transformational life coach. After a career that looked amazing from the outside but felt out of place, she learned to live as her true self.

Key Takeaways

• Find your highest values by asking what you'd do if no one asked.
• Perfection means something different to everyone, so chasing it keeps you stuck.
• Resisting who you are creates stress that tends to surface somewhere.
• When triggered, pause and ask how your highest self would respond.
• Swap "I have to" for "I get to" or "I'm choosing to."

Does self-care feel like one more checklist you're failing? This episode of Wellness Reimagined is for anyone tired of chasing routines and quick fixes that never quite deliver.

Dr. Maria Van Der Maaten explores how productivity culture reshaped wellness, and offers a gentler path: community care, experimentation, simple floors instead of perfect ceilings, and a focus on process over results.

About the Guest:

Dr. Maria Van Der Maaten holds a PhD, has taught at university, and completed a holistic wellness and fitness coaching certification. Originally from the US, she now lives in Argentina.

Key Takeaways:

• Wellness works best as a daily way of relating to yourself, not an occasional treat or performance.
• Much of modern self-care is sold to keep us productive. Ask what you actually want more time for.
• Do wellness with others. A walk with a neighbour covers movement, connection, and nature without feeling like work.
• Set a floor, not a ceiling. A small non-negotiable, like ten minutes of yoga, carries you through hard days.
• Treat setbacks as experiments. Each restart gets easier, and sustainable systems matter more than fast results.

What if wellness was never about a fixed standard, but about what actually makes you feel alive? Host Swati talks with Grand Prix dressage rider Silvia Rizzo about why wellness has to be personal, not performed for anyone watching.

Silvia shares why skipping a workout usually comes down to excuses rather than real limits, a lesson from working with 700 kilogram horses about staying clear headed under pressure, and why the only thing you can truly control is your own reaction.

About the Guest:

Silvia Rizzo is a professional Grand Prix dressage rider and life coach who helps people make better decisions under pressure. She draws lessons from working with large animals, where staying calm and clear headed is essential, into how she teaches wellness.

Key Takeaways:

• Skipping a workout is usually an excuse, not a real physical limit.
• Wellness should be for yourself, not a performance for anyone watching.
• Staying clear headed under real pressure is a skill you can actually train.
• The only thing you can fully control in life is your own reaction.
• A wellness practice needs flexibility, since life and your needs keep changing.

What if wellness is less about adding more habits and more about learning to stop? Host Naba talks with author Karen Bentley about the practice of becoming harmless, and why neutralizing a harmful thought takes ongoing attention, not one single decision.

Karen shares a personal story about neutralizing jealousy toward a family member over several weeks, why stopping a habit, even something small, builds the same skill you need for bigger changes, and why knowing what you actually want keeps you off autopilot.

About the Guest:

Karen Bentley is the author of more than 17 books, including her latest, The Warrior Strong Manifesto, about the conservation of life energy. She teaches three core skills for working with what she calls the ego robot, starting with the practice of stopping.

Key Takeaways:

• Wellness is often about doing less, not adding more habits, journaling, or affirmations.
• Neutralizing a harmful thought can take weeks of repeated, deliberate attention, not one decision.
• Practicing stopping with a small habit builds a skill useful in bigger moments too.
• Harm isn't only physical, guilt trips and raised voices count too.
• Knowing clearly what you want keeps you from running on autopilot.

What if looking healthy and actually being healthy are two completely different things? The host talks with Dr. Sean Altman about why true wellness lives beneath the surface, in both the body and the mind, not in how someone looks.

Sean shares the difference between internal and external motivation for healthier habits, why gradual changes tend to stick better than dramatic ones, and why sleep and exercise are the two highest-leverage places to start.

About the Guest:

Dr. Sean Altman is a functional medicine doctor specializing in orthopedic and regenerative medicine. He focuses on patient education, asking patients about their personal goals as part of building a wellness plan tailored to them.

Key Takeaways:

• Looking physically fit doesn't guarantee someone is actually healthy underneath the surface.
• Internally motivated habits, done for your own reasons, tend to last far longer.
• Gradual changes are usually easier to sustain than one dramatic overhaul.
• Sleep and exercise are the two highest-leverage places to start improving wellness.
• A supportive team, trainers, coaches, or clinicians, helps you recover from setbacks.

What if wellness isn't something you build alone, but something you create together? Host Niharika talks with Dr. Steve McGough about why social connection matters for health, and why knowing yourself comes before finding a partner.

Steve shares the biology behind why in-person connection beats texting or video calls, a simple weekly practice he and his wife use to stay close after 27 years together, and why going out into nature can offer a real sense of community too.

About the Guest:

Dr. Steve McGough is the founder of Human Innovations and inventor of the Hi Massager, a therapeutic device originally developed to help his wife. He has worked with couples and individuals on relationship health for over 16 years.

Key Takeaways:

• Social isolation can be as harmful to long-term health as smoking daily.
• Know who you are and what you want before looking for a partner.
• In-person presence carries emotional information, through facial cues, that texting simply can't.
• Setting aside weekly time to fully focus on your partner can deepen the relationship.
• Time in nature can offer a real sense of community, even without other people.

Most of us treat wellness like a checklist: water, steps, sleep. But what if it's not about getting it right, but about actually experiencing your life?

On this episode of Wellness Reimagined, longtime caregiver Geoff Grant shares what 25 years of caring for his mother and wife taught him about grief, vulnerability, and staying grounded.

About the Guest:

Geoff Grant has spent 25 years as a family caregiver, first for his mother, then for his wife. He joins the show on the one year anniversary of her passing, reflecting on presence, grief, and self-compassion.

Key Takeaways:

• Wellness is mind, body, and spirit, not a checklist to perfect.
• Vulnerability is strength. Revealing yourself is harder than hiding, and braver.
• You can go through grief, or grow through it. The choice matters.
• Stop measuring your life against someone else's idea of "perfect" wellness.
• Grounding can be free: a walk outside, a journal page, an honest talk.

What if the way we've been taught to chase wellness is part of what keeps us from feeling well? On Wellness Reimagined, host Navya talks with clinical herbalist Bonnie D'Arcangelo about diet, stress, and sustainable habits.

Bonnie shares why restriction backfires, how small consistent steps beat all-or-nothing goals, and why unresolved stress can undo even the healthiest diet.

About the Guest:

Bonnie D'Arcangelo is a clinical herbalist and holistic health consultant based in Michigan. She works with clients managing chronic conditions using herbal medicine, and explores the emotional root causes that often sit underneath physical health issues.

Key Takeaways:

• Consistency beats intensity: a daily 30-minute walk often outperforms occasional hard workouts
• Set small, realistic diet goals instead of banning foods completely
• Keep a simple food journal to build awareness without judging yourself
• Look for the emotional or stress-related root behind a physical health issue
• Pair a calming scent, like lavender, with deep breathing to reset
• Give yourself grace after a setback and simply start again

What if the wellness we've been chasing was never really about optimizing ourselves at all? In this episode of Wellness Reimagined, host Niharika talks with osteopath and body-centred stress coach Tom Meyers about the growing mismatch between our ancient biology and today's fast-changing culture, and why that mismatch, not laziness or willpower, is often the real reason we feel stuck.

Tom walks through why our stress response fires for the wrong things, why getting help is a strength rather than a failure, and how defining what he calls your "DNA for the future" can give you something stable to return to even as everything around you keeps shifting. It's a grounded, curious look at what it actually takes to flourish in a world that no longer looks anything like yesterday.

About the Guest:

Tom Meyers is an osteopath and manual therapist who teaches practitioners how to bring autonomic regulation into their work, traveling to India three times a year to teach. He is the author of Futurize Yourself: How to Flourish and Thrive in Your Fast-Changing World.

Key Takeaways:

• Health isn't automatic or given, it's earned through the choices, decisions, and actions you make today.
• The stress response that once kept us safe from real physical danger now fires for emails and everyday pressure, turning the response itself into a stressor.
• Start with introspection: describe what you're actually feeling and what you want instead, not just what you don't want.
• Seeking help, whether a coach, mentor, or professional, is a sign of strength, not a personal failure.
• Define what stays stable in you (what you want to feel, and your core aspirations) so you have something solid to build on even as everything else changes.

Anxiety usually gets talked about two ways: heavy clinical language or soft aesthetic wellness content. Psychotherapist Elke Scholz joins host Sana to explore what it feels like to live with anxiety and still function.

Elke shares her zero-to-ten awareness scale and the layers of anxiety she's mapped through years of practice and her own lived experience. You'll learn why the goal is noticing anxiety early, not eliminating it.

ABOUT THE GUEST:

Elke Scholz is a registered psychotherapist, internationally certified EMDR therapist, and expressive arts consultant based in Bracebridge, Ontario. She is the author of Loving Your Life Now and the Anxiety Warrior series, and manages her own generalized anxiety using the tools she teaches.

KEY TAKEAWAYS:

• Use a zero-to-ten scale to notice anxiety before it builds.
• Anxiety often stacks in layers: physiology, perfectionism, self-doubt, memory.
• Dehydration can trigger anxious symptoms; a glass of water helps.
• Trust your own numbers; what overwhelms one person may not overwhelm you.

Most people think wellness is either a perfect morning routine or something too hard to bother with. In this episode, Niharika talks with author and executive coach Chad Betz about why that "all or nothing" framing is exactly what keeps wellness feeling out of reach.

Chad walks through why stress leads to self-sabotage, why scheduling wellness like an actual meeting works better than hoping to find time for it, and why the goal is to change the plan, not the goal, when something isn't working. If wellness has always felt like one more thing you're failing at, this conversation offers a much gentler way in.

About the Guest:

Chad C. Betz is a financial services executive, certified executive coach, and author of "An Authentic Success: You Aren't Too Old and It's Not Too Late," "The Second Mouse Gets the Cheese!," "Late Bloomer: It's Not Too Late to Succeed!," and "Expertise Expedition." His work focuses on redefining success and building sustainable habits at any stage of life.

Key Takeaways:

• Wellness feels out of reach mainly because we assume it requires a full overhaul, when small, consistent habits are what actually work.
• Stress often triggers self-sabotage, overeating, screens, overworking. Noticing that pattern is the first step to interrupting it.
• Schedule wellness like an important meeting. If it's not on the calendar, it usually doesn't happen.
• Give yourself permission to be bad at something before you're good at it. Progress starts with baby steps, not big leaps.
• When a plan isn't working, change the plan, not the goal.
• Setbacks are part of the process, not proof of failure. Staying consistent matters more than staying perfect.

Most of us think wellness is a routine we finally perfect and keep forever. In this episode, Yusuf talks with business coach Louis Swart about why that idea falls apart the moment life gets busy, and what it actually takes to feel well when you're running a business, a family, or both.

Louis shares how burnout sneaks in even when you're eating right and going to the gym, why mindset matters as much as any physical habit, and a simple exercise for figuring out what your time is really worth. If you've ever felt stuck despite doing all the right things, this conversation offers a grounded, practical way back to yourself.

About the Guest:

Louis Swart is a business coach and founder of Ironbrij, a business coaching and virtual assistant company. Based in Australia, he has over 35 years of entrepreneurial experience helping business owners avoid burnout, delegate effectively, and build sustainable, freedom-driven businesses.

Key Takeaways:

• Wellness is not one habit done well. It's your whole life in balance, work, relationships, sleep, and mindset together.
• Notice whether you're living "at cause" (things happen to me) or "at effect" (what is this situation trying to show me). The second one puts you back in control.
• Try the hourly-value exercise: divide your income goal by your working hours, then ask honestly whether a task is worth doing yourself or worth delegating.
• Short-lived happiness from buying things wears off fast. Internal happiness, built by working on yourself, tends to last.
• Everyone is on their own journey. You can offer advice, but it's not your job to fix people around you at the expense of your own health.

What if the first question toward healing wasn't "where does it hurt" but "when's the last time you laughed?" In this episode, Shridha talks with Doug "Red Hail" Pineda, founder of the Church of Psychedelics, about what Indigenous approaches to wellness can teach a modern world that's grown used to quick fixes and short appointments.

This conversation moves through what wellness looks like when it's rooted in relationship, community, and ceremony rather than symptoms alone, and why integrating an insight matters more than the insight itself. If you've ever felt like modern healthcare treats the surface without touching the root, this episode offers a different lens, one grounded in thousands of years of observation rather than a prescription pad.

About the Guest:

Doug "Red Hail" Pineda is the founder of the Church of Psychedelics, based in Colorado. Of Native American heritage, he speaks and teaches on Indigenous approaches to wellness and humanity's relationship with plant medicine.

Key Takeaways:

• Indigenous wellness traditions often start with relational questions, when did you last laugh, dance, or sing with your community, rather than symptom-focused ones.
• Ceremony opens the door to healing, but integration, actually living out what you learned, is what does the real work.
• Wellness isn't a state you arrive at and check off. It's a daily practice of walking your talk and closing the gap between insight and action.
• Consider the difference between treating a root cause and simply managing a symptom, and where your own health routines fall on that spectrum.
• Plant medicine traditions carry generations of observed relationships between nature and the human body, a body of knowledge many cultures are only beginning to take seriously.

Meet Kim Rogers, known online as the Worm Queen, who joins Wellness Reimagined to challenge one-size-fits-all wellness advice.

Listeners will hear how a health crisis led Kim to build her own wellness company, and why she believes overlooked practices like parasite cleansing deserve a second look.

About the Guest:

Kim Rogers, known as the Worm Queen, is CEO of RogersHood Apothecary and creator of the ParaFy Cleanse. With over 20 years in Western medicine and two healthcare degrees, she now focuses on parasite cleansing and self-advocacy after her own 2019 health crisis.

Key Takeaways:

• Kim believes parasite exposure is more common than most realize, often through undercooked meat, seafood, pets, and tap water.
• She encourages people to become their own health advocates rather than rely only on conventional testing.
• Her ParaFy Kit uses herbs like wormwood, black walnut, and cilantro over a 30-day cleanse.
• She suggests care around raw seafood, handwashing after gardening, and grounding away from animal waste.
• Kim links heavy metal detox and parasite cleansing, believing metals can shelter other toxins.
• Her own health crisis, including unnecessary surgeries, shaped her mission to help others find root causes.

Have you ever assumed wellness meant being happy all the time, only to feel like you were failing every time a hard emotion showed up? This episode is for anyone ready to let go of that picture-perfect version of wellness. Host Rhia sits down with personal development expert Cindy Shaw to explore what it really means for mind, body, and spirit to be in coherence, and why chasing constant happiness was never the point.

Cindy shares her Allow, Release, Transform approach for working with difficult emotions instead of repressing or reacting to them, along with why triggers are often teachers in disguise. This is a grounded, honest conversation for anyone ready to build a more authentic relationship with their own wellbeing.

About the Guest:

Cindy Shaw is a personal development expert with more than 35 years of experience in mind-body wellness, blending cognitive behavioral therapy, HeartMath, brain health coaching, and psychedelic integration. Based in Canada, she helps people move from repressing emotions to processing them through her Allow, Release, Transform approach.

Key Takeaways:

• Wellness isn't constant happiness, it's coherence between mind, body, and spirit, a state of contentment and peace rather than a permanent mood
• Triggers are information, not inconvenience, whatever upsets you is usually pointing to something unhealed within you, not something wrong with the other person
• The Allow, Release, Transform approach: acknowledge an emotion without acting on it, feel it fully in the body, then let it move through and transform
• Detachment isn't disconnection, it's awareness, shifting from this is happening to me to this is happening for me changes what you do with a hard moment
• Surrender isn't giving up, it's releasing your grip, like letting go of a kinked garden hose so life can flow again
• The quality of your life often tracks the quality of your questions, asking what you can learn shifts more than asking why this happened to you

We talk about willpower like it's the missing ingredient in every diet that failed us. Host Ria sits down with certified detoxification specialist R.L. Malpica to ask what's actually underneath our eating habits, and why the answer usually isn't discipline at all.

R.L. breaks down the conditioning behind our food choices, why junk food feels like comfort when we're stressed, and offers one simple, practical shift anyone can try today. If food has ever felt like a battleground instead of nourishment, this conversation reframes the whole fight.

About the Guest:

R.L. Malpica is a certified detoxification specialist, natural health and diet coach, and author of Detox Yourself, which explores the connection between detoxing the mind and detoxing the body. He has followed a fruit-based diet for over three years and a plant-based lifestyle for nine years, and has spent five to six years advocating for natural health.

Key Takeaways:

• Discipline matters less than detoxing your mind from the conditioning you've absorbed about food and health your whole life.
• Slip-ups are part of the process, not proof of failure. Notice your triggers (people, environments, stress) and adjust around them instead of relying on willpower alone.
• Junk food feels comforting because it's convenient, stimulating, and tied to a fight-or-flight response, not because you lack discipline.
• Try shortening your eating window to noon–8 PM as a simple, tangible first step toward working with your body's natural digestive rhythm.
• Build a support system of people on a similar path. If your environment isn't aligned with your goals, you have to consciously create your own alignment.

Wellness has become something we buy, track, and optimize until we think we've finally gotten it right. Host Niharika sits down with 28-year Ayurvedic coach Naomi Scott to ask what wellness actually is underneath all the marketing noise, and why doing everything "right" can still leave you stuck in survival mode.

Naomi unpacks why real wellness isn't a checklist but a relationship you build with your own nervous system, one built on capacity, curiosity, and self-worth rather than performance. If you have ever felt like you're doing all the right things and still not feeling well, this conversation offers a different way in.

About the Guest:

Naomi Scott is a Master Life Coach with over 28 years of experience blending Ayurveda, functional nutrition, meditation, and nervous system regulation. She has studied in India, co-owned a wellness clinic, and led international retreats, working with clients globally to help them build a genuine, non-performative relationship with their own health and vitality.

Key Takeaways:

• Wellness isn't one fixed picture; it's a personal relationship with your own system. What works for someone else may not work for you, and that's the point, not the problem.
• Doing "all the right things" (diet, exercise, meditation) can still leave you in survival mode if you're doing them from performance instead of genuine care for yourself.
• Notice when you're chasing a wellness trend because it resonates versus because you're drawn to something sparkly that promises a result. Ask yourself honestly which one it is.
• Build your nervous system's capacity to hold stress and chaos, rather than aiming for a life where nothing ever goes wrong.
• Falling back into old coping patterns (scrolling, overeating, numbing) usually means you're disconnected from your own worth, not that you've failed at wellness.
