Holistic Orthobiologics Treatment with Stem Cells and PRP Injections with Chaz Fausel MD
If you were to cut yourself, and you get a little scab, what you’ll find if you put it under a microscope would be full of platelets.

What Does the Bible Say About Women Pastors? with Pastor Megan Hermes of Hope Valley
We don’t often find women in leadership roles inside the church, and to see women in leadership is a breath of fresh air.

Serving the ministry full-time for 20 years now, Megan Hermes is the Staff and Operations Pastor at Hope Valley Church in Denver. Along with her husband, she started the campus ministry which started at a campus university church. You might disagree with the th...

Postpartum Care and Preparation with Nutritionist Katie Braswell and Dr. Nichelle Gurule DC of The Wild Mama Co
There is a wealth of information available when it comes to pregnancy and preparing for birth, about the baby, and how to keep your baby alive. But postpartum care is such an underrated topic that we don’t really get a lot of information about it. We prepare a lot more for birth than we do post-partum – a period when there are so many changes happening, not just physically, but also emotionally, in their relationships, their career, and their life as a whole. Yet we’re seeing so many gaps in the space of postpartum care an...

Best Ways to Lose Weight Naturally with Cynthia Mathes
According to the National Institute of Health, 30.7% of adults are overweight, 42.4% of adults have obesity, and 9.2% have severe obesity. This means 82.3% of American adults are not metabolically healthy. We’ve also been sold this lie over and over that in order to lose weight, all we have to do is eat less and exercise more. But it’s not just about diet or exercise. Long-term habit changes make all the difference. Your weight could also be a sign of something else deeper going on. And so, it’s basically a congruence of things. In today’s episod...

Why Friendship is Important with Danielle Bayard Jackson of Friend Forward
How much do you value friendship? Maybe you’re an extrovert who loves being everyone’s friend, or maybe you’re an introvert who’s happy to have just two to three friends in your circle.

A 2020 study shows that the number one thing that prevents depression is having someone to talk to. A significant amount of research points to the direct impact that friendship has on your physical, mental, and emotional health. In this episode...

Sustainable Living and How to Use Less Plastic with Morgan Cook of Mostly Eco Morgan
