An expert motivational speaker, Wes explores themes of adversity, disruption, inclusivity, and intersectionality, helping institutions forward their dialogue around DEI Beyond his recognition in the CrossFit community and feature on Netflix's "Queer Eye," Wes's outstanding contributions were acknowledged on a global stage when he was named a 2021 CNN Hero. The same year, he was recognized as a 2021 Craig H Neilson Foundation Visionary, an accolade that came with a $1 million award.

Elle Russ chats with Jessica Viker - a Registered Nurse, with both a Bachelor of Science in Nursing and a Bachelor of Arts degree. In addition to over a decade of experience as a nurse at the bedside in multiple medical specialties, Jess is a certified health & wellness coach who has experienced navigating her own complex journey back to health after suffering from a sharp decline in her early 30s that medical management alone did not fix. Utilizing a combination of a low-carb/high-fat diet protocol and proper hypothyroid management by her doctor, Jess transformed her exhausted, overweight, highly inflamed body back into the strong and healthy home it was meant to be. It instantly became a passion of hers to utilize her science education, personal experience, and understanding of human metabolism to help others who thought there was no hope of "normal" ever again. Jess specializes in coaching those with medical diagnoses, whether newly diagnosed or chronic for years, to optimize their health. It's a partnership between proper medical management by their medical team and diet and lifestyle management through coaching. Jess does not believe in a "one size fits all" approach to health, and tailors each client's protocol to their particular situation, adapting as changes occur. Jess lives in Los Angeles with her partner Jason and their kitties Margo and Moxxi. She loves spontaneous Disneyland trips, Halloween, playing video games with Jason, and creating bullet journal spreads in her spare time.
