For those who know there’s more to health than just managing symptoms. If you’re doing all the “right things” and still not where you want to be, this podcast may challenge everything you’ve been told. Because more supplements, more effort, and more discipline aren’t always the answer. Most approaches focus on what to add. Very few address how the body actually FUNCTIONS at the cellular level. This podcast explores a deeper approach to healing, energy, recovery, and longevity starting where it all begins. Through conversations with experts and real-life stories, we uncover: • why the body stops responding the way it used to • what most wellness tools are missing • and how to support the body in doing what it was designed to do If you’re ready to think differently, take ownership, and reactivate your health from the inside out at the roots, you’re in the right place.

The Inner Empire - The Day My Body Forced Me to Listen

Why symptoms are signals — and what happens when you stop cutting the warning lightWhat happens when the body whispers… and you don’t listen — until it screams? In this final episode of the 2025 season, I sit down with Debbie Roppo, Board-Certified Health & Wellness Coach and creator of the Soul Inflammation Method™, for a conversation that goes far beyond food, fitness, or willpower. Debbie shares the moment in her 40s when her body completely shut her down — swollen joints, unbearable pain, crawling across the floor — and how that wake-up call changed everything she believed about health, healing, and identity.Together, we explore:- Why chronic conditions are often signals, not failures - The difference between reactive medicine and upstream healing - How mindset and internal dialogue create real, measurable chemistry in the body - Why discipline and “doing everything right” still isn’t enough - The danger of ignoring the warning lights — and cutting the wire instead of fixing the cause - How identity shapes healing more than most people realize - Why true change requires time, compassion, and the right guide This episode is about hope without hype, responsibility without shame, and the quiet power of deciding: "I’m not okay staying here." If you’ve been pushing through, pouring from an empty cup, or waiting for “later”  - this conversation may land exactly when you need it.

Ending the Silent Battle: Healing Hidden Trauma Without Reliving It

Ending the Silent Battle: Healing Hidden Trauma Without Reliving It with Dr. Pamela Arnell of 22Zero A new, effective path for veterans, first responders, and anyone carrying emotional weight In this episode, Dr. Pamela Arnell — Executive Director of 22Zero — shares a breakthrough approach to healing trauma for veterans, first responders, and their families. Their method helps people release the emotional weight of traumatic experiences without reliving or retelling the events, and often creates profound change in just one or two sessions. Pamela’s path to this mission started early. Inspired by her father’s service in law enforcement, she pursued her own life of service — even when she was told she was “too short” for the job. Her response? “Then I can get into places others can’t.” That determination has guided her through years of clinical work in counseling and, in a full circle, back to the first responder work, community leadership, and now, trauma healing. - We talk about her strong faith, - her late husband’s military influence, - the Trauma & Emotional Healing Processes (THP/EHP), - and why all services are provided at no cost to veterans, first responders, spouses, and children. 22Zero relies entirely on donations to keep this mission alive. This conversation is filled with hope and a new understanding of what healing can look like. What makes 22Zero’s work extraordinary isn’t just the method — it’s the heart behind it. Pamela’s compassion, conviction, and faith are the engine of an organization that exists to make sure no hero fights their hardest battle alone.

Lisa Regina: Her Story Was Supposed to End That Night - It Became a Movement Instead

When actress, acting coach, and filmmaker/producer Lisa Regina met the man she thought she’d marry, she had no idea her life was about to shatter — and then transform into a mission that would touch countless lives.  In this powerful and deeply human conversation, Lisa opens up about:   Growing up in a blue-collar Italian American home with a dad who didn’t always understand her artistic dreams.   Losing her mother at 18, and the life lessons that still guide her today.   The day her engagement ended in a brutal act of violence - and how surviving it changed everything.   The broken systems, the media frenzy, and the courage it took to rebuild her life when her life, health, name, and career were nearly destroyed.   How she found healing through her beloved writing - and eventually turned her pain into the foundation for A Write to Heal, a nonprofit empowering trauma survivors and veterans through creative expression, filmmaking, and drone technology - and helping them heal.  The extraordinary story of the first woman who helped find her voice - after decades of unspeakable horror - and how that act of compassion might have saved thousands of innocent lives.   The birth of Heroic Episodes, a groundbreaking project with actor Joe Mantegna as an executive producer, shares the stories of unsung heroes, while also supporting, hiring, and honoring veterans through storytelling and film.   And the love story she never thought she’d have again - proof that healing doesn’t just repair, it rebirths.     Lisa’s resilience, compassion, and mission remind us that even the darkest chapters in anyone's life can become scripts for hope - if we’re brave enough to rewrite them.  🎧 Listen now, and if her mission moves you, please visit HeroicEpisodes.org and see how you can become a part of this incredible project of love - and how even one person can help bring these stories to life.  Connect with Lisa here:  Lisa’s recent collaboration is on her latest project, ‘Heroic Episodes’, and the Veterans Drone Training Program with actor and star of ‘Criminal Minds’ Joe Mantegna (executive producer). https://heroicepisodes.org/  If this project speaks to you, please consider DONATING.   Even a small donation will have a huge impact! One person can change the world. Lisa uses creative expression as a therapeutic tool for trauma recovery and founded A Write to Heal.  https://awritetoheal.com/about  As a filmmaker/actress, producer, and a Part 107 Commercial Drone Pilot.

Forget Supplements. If You’re Not Doing This First, You’re Wasting Your Money

Are you spending hundreds (or thousands) on supplements and still not feeling better? You’re not alone - and the reason might shock you. In this fascinating episode, I’m joined by Russell Mariani, a leading Health Restoration Specialist with over 40 years of experience in helping people heal “difficult-to-solve” health challenges. Especially related to gut health, cellular regeneration, and chronic inflammation. At just 18, Russell was diagnosed with ulcerative colitis and told he’d likely need surgery to remove his colon before 25. Instead of accepting that fate, he followed a different path - and has been healthy and symptom-free for more than four decades. 🎙️ In this episode, you’ll learn: * Why gut health is the root system of everything — and how to fix it * What Redox Signaling Molecules are (and why they’re not just another supplement) * The reason most people absorb only 5–10% of what they take — and how to change that * How to wake up your body’s “cellular gatekeepers” so nutrients actually get used * The 7 interconnected pillars of health restoration that Russell uses in his practice * What real healing looks like - on a cellular, emotional, and spiritual level If you’ve “tried everything” and still feel off… this conversation will open a whole new door. 💡 “The body wants to heal. Our job is to learn how to best support it and stop interfering.” — Russell Mariani Would you like to reach out to Russell?WEBSITE:  www.russellmariani.comYOUTUBE: https://www.youtube.com/@digestiveillnessFACEBOOK:  https://www.facebook.com/therussellmariani INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/russellmariani?igshid=zsxaoxveles2  Download Russell's eBook: https://russellmariani.com/free-ebook-page WATCH THIS EPISODE ON YOUTUBE: https://youtu.be/_AtOSBzsEJM If you enjoyed this episode, please SUBSCRIBE so you don't miss another inspirational story like this.

Loss, Resilience, and the Breakthrough That Changed My Life

This episode is different. No guest, no script - it's just me, my big WHY, opening my heart and sharing my story. It began with back surgeries that ended my exciting career and left me searching for alternative options while living in constant pain. That’s what brought me to Florida, trying to reinvent myself with limited choices. I became a personal chef — because I could stand, but not sit — and in the middle of it all, I poured myself into studying Tony Robbins, first for my own growth, and eventually stepping into coaching. But even cheffing pushed my body beyond its limits. I had to start turning clients away. Then COVID came, and like so many others, I watched my business vanish overnight. In January 2021, I lost my mom. A few months later, I lost my husband. Everything I knew about nutrition and supplements couldn't save the most important person in my life. And with that went my health, my confidence, and the very purpose of living. This isn’t just a story about loss, though. It’s about resilience. It’s about the fall, then refusing to give up on myself, even when every reason said I should. It’s about the breakthrough that helped restore my health, hope, gave me back my financial dignity, and helped me believe again that it’s never too late to start over. In this episode, I share: How multiple back surgeries set off a chain of losses and reinventions. Why I turned to both personal development and coaching as a lifeline. The heartbreak of losing my mom and husband in the same year. How sometimes it takes all you have to find the strength to get back on your feet again.The breakthrough that gave me back my health, my hope, and my reason to dream, once again. Why this isn’t just about “sales” for me — but about helping others reclaim life, health, and freedom when it matters most. If you’ve ever been told to “just accept it”… or felt like it's too late for you, that your story was already written - I recorded this for you. Because your best chapters might still be ahead.WATCH THIS EPISODE ON YOUTUBE:  https://youtu.be/I2qP9GMuQAY If you enjoyed this episode, please SUBSCRIBE to my channel so you don't miss another story like this.

Why This Pharmacist Walked Away from the Drug-for-Everything Culture

Chris Patrick — a charming Irishman now raising his young family in Australia — didn’t set out to become a critic of the healthcare system. He entered pharmacy with the best intentions, eager to help people heal. Instead, he discovered a system designed to manage symptoms, keep customers dependent, and rarely address the root cause. In this conversation, Chris shares the turning point that made him trade prescriptions for principles, and how he now helps busy professionals reclaim their health naturally. We dive into: Why your circadian rhythm may be your most underrated health tool. The role of sunlight, walking, and real food in reversing metabolic dysfunction. Why protein intake and ancestral eating patterns matter more than you think. How finding your WHY helps you stay consistent, even through setbacks. His 12-week Effortless Health Reset program - and why “effortless” doesn’t mean “no effort.”   If you’ve been told your health challenges are inevitable or permanent, Chris offers a hopeful, science-backed alternative that blends ancestral wisdom with modern research. 📌 Effortless health isn’t a quick fix - it’s the result of systems and habits that work with your body, not against it.WATCH THIS EPISODE ON YOUTUBE: Get in touch with Chris here: WEBSITE:  www.chrispatrick.coach LINKEDIN: https://www.linkedin.com/in/cpatrick88/ TWITTER/X: @healthcoachcp   If you enjoyed this episode, please SUBSCRIBE to my channel so you don't miss another inspirational story like this.

Unbreakable: From Childhood Trauma to Navy SEAL to Powerlifting Champion

Unbreakable: From Childhood Trauma to Navy SEAL to Powerlifting Champion - Tommy Richardson’s JourneyEpisode Summary: What does it take to survive the unthinkable - and come out stronger than ever? In this jaw-dropping episode, I sit down with Tommy Richardson - Navy SEAL veteran, Marine, elite resilience coach, and founder of Divine Savagery. We talk about overcoming childhood bullying, surviving combat, enduring grueling Navy SEAL training (including Hell Week with a broken pelvis!), and his miraculous recovery from brain surgery that left doctors stunned. Tommy opens up about: Childhood adversity: How brutal bullying and a strict household pushed him to the edge and the voice that saved his life. Military mindset: Lessons from combat zones across the globe, including how to lead, adapt, and build unshakable teams. A brotherhood forged in fire: How a life-long connection with the Luttrell twins - including Marcus Luttrell (yes, the Lone Survivor) - who likely helped open some door that tipped the scale in Tommy's favor for an atypical path from the Marines into the elite world of Navy SEALs. Resilience & faith: Why forging mental toughness requires both fire and purpose. Radical recovery: How he set a goal to go from lifting 5 lbs post-brain surgery to benching 500 lbs in under a year. Life after service: Turning battlefield lessons into boardroom strategies for leadership, wellness, and personal growth. Tommy doesn’t just share stories - he delivers battle-tested strategies for anyone facing adversity, feeling stuck, or chasing an impossible goal. If you’ve ever wondered how far grit, faith, and purpose can take you - this episode will show you.WATCH THIS EPISODE ON YOUTUBE: https://youtu.be/7XY3ePZTyPQConnect with Tommy here: WEBSITE:        www.divinesavagery.com LINKEDIN:        https://www.linkedin.com/in/tommy-richardson-72a4a4178/ FACEBOOK:     https://www.facebook.com/tommy.richardson.667300 INSTAGRAM:    https://www.instagram.com/raise.your.horn/   If you enjoyed this episode, please SUBSCRIBE to my channel so you don't miss another inspirational story like this.

From Coma to Calling: Michelle Drew on Taking Back Your Health and Life

What happens when your body forces you to stop — and you barely make it out alive? In this powerful episode of Third Chances, I sit down with Michelle Drew - Certified Naturopathic Wellness Consultant, Transformational Speaker, and founder of a functional wellness company that helps women 40+ reclaim their energy and vitality. Michelle’s story is nothing short of extraordinary: From a corporate recruiter and work-hard/play-harder lifestyle… To wake up from a medically induced coma after her family was told to prepare for the worst. To build a thriving company with nurse practitioners, nutritionists, and medical specialists that provides the functional medicine solutions she wishes she’d had when she needed them most. We talk about: The terrifying health crisis that became her wake-up call. Why blood work can reveal what “symptom-chasing” never will. The approach she uses to help women take back control of their health and energy. If you’ve ever felt like your body was sending you warnings you’ve been ignoring, this conversation might be the nudge you need. 🎧 Watch on YOUTUBE: [  https://youtu.be/5hEb9viP1xY  ]If you want to reach out to Michelle, here is the best contact info: Website:  https://MichelleDrew.com (being updated) Calendar Link:  https://calendly.com/mdrew-natural-wellness/30-minute-virtual-meeting Free Gift: https://bit.ly/Wellness-Starter-Kit * If you enjoyed this episode, please SUBSCRIBE to my channel so you don't miss another inspirational story like this.

Change Before Life Forces You To: Andy’s Wake-Up Call

Andy’s Journey from Self-Medicating, Functioning Alcoholic to Transforming Men’s Lives Shownotes: He started drinking at 14. Graduated from college. Landed a decent banking job and made a good career. Outwardly “functional” - but quietly falling apart. In this raw and powerful episode, Andy shares his journey from teenage drinking and self-medicating his undiagnosed bipolar disorder and depression with alcohol, to becoming a high-level fitness coach for male executives. We dive into: • Growing up with an alcoholic father • The hidden dangers of being a "functioning" addict • Mental health stigma in high-performing men • The cost of pretending everything is fine • Replacing self-destruction with discipline and purpose • Why reconciliation with his father came just in time • What real transformation looks like (and why most don’t commit to it) Andy Feltovich founded FeltovichFit - and as a retired banker who traded a briefcase for kettlebells, he now coaches 40+ year old male senior professionals on health and fitness. Andy doesn’t sugarcoat it. His story is bold, honest, and deeply needed - especially for the men who feel like they’ve “got it together” on the outside, but are secretly burning out inside. “If it’s worth doing, it’s worth doing right.” That’s not just his motto—it’s his life’s second act. 🎧 Listen now and share this with someone who needs a reminder: You don’t have to wait for rock bottom to choose better.WATCH THIS EPISODE ON YOUTUBE:  https://youtu.be/hrex82fvTu8If you want to reach out to Andy, here's the best contact info:WEBSITE:  https://executive-transformation.com/FACEBOOK:  https://www.facebook.com/andy.feltovich LINKEDIN:   https://www.linkedin.com/in/feltovichfit/ YOUTUBE:  https://www.youtube.com/@FeltovichFitINSTAGRAM:  https://www.instagram.com/feltovichfit X:  https://x.com/FeltovichFit     If you enjoyed this episode, please SUBSCRIBE to my channel so you don't miss another inspirational story like this.

The Breakthrough They Couldn’t Buy - the Insider's Point of View

Some decisions don’t make sense in the moment — until they change your entire trajectory.In this episode, Dr. Dan Hartley, former Podiatric physician and Surgeon, opens up about walking away from his private practice, his 3 decades long journey through fascinating clinical research with major pharma companies, his faith, reinvention, and what shifted everything he thought he knew.   After years in private surgical practice, Dr. Dan Hartley walked away from burnout and built a 30+ year career in clinical research for some of the world’s leading pharmaceutical companies.  But what he never expected… was to encounter a technology so advanced, it had once been pursued by the VERY COMPANY he worked for.  Dr. Dan shares his story of reinvention, his quiet strength, deep faith, and how the Redox technology he once doubted ultimately earned his belief. What convinced him it was real, how he proved it to himself it wasn't a placebo he once believed, and what he did with that opportunity in his hands.    We cover:   - The pressure and burnout behind his private practice exit  - What it’s really like leading inside pharma clinical trials  - Why was he already aware of Redox signaling molecules, long before the majority of the experts - His initial skepticism around ASEA Redox — and what changed his mind  - Why he wanted to get involved back then, but due to his demanding career, it wasn't the right time...  - What got his attention recently (and why it's a BIG DEAL for wellness)  - Why he's right now re-engaging with purpose, not hype  - One decision in his 20s that changed the entire trajectory of his life       WATCH THIS EPISODE ON YOUTUBE: https://youtu.be/EceQRs_hfT4    If you enjoyed this episode, please SUBSCRIBE to my channel so you don't miss another inspirational story like this.

From Anesthesiology and Pain management to True Healing

What makes a top anesthesiologist leave her white coat behind to champion cellular health? Meet Dr. Maureen Hayes, a Board-Certified Anesthesiologist and Pain Management Specialist with over 30 years of experience, who traded the operating room for a mission to empower people with the science of Redox technology. In this candid and heartwarming episode, we uncover: • From Skeptic to Believer: What she calls her period of arrogance and ignorance, and why she initially dismissed Redox. • What finally convinced her to take the leap? • What happened when her Army reserve, marathon runner, brilliant researcher, and physician husband – was sent to MD Anderson Hospital in TX straight from deployment in Iraq with an issue no one expected • The Wake-Up Call: How her husband's diagnosis made her question the medical system’s definition of "cure" and quality of life. From athlete to having an issue crossing a room with an oxygen mask on. • What was her first “endorsement” of the technology to her girlfriend/nurse (not quite a sales pitch you would expect) • Personal & Family Transformations: The life-changing shifts she and her loved ones experienced through testing the Redox protocol/replenishment. • Bigger Impact Beyond the Clinic: Why she believes her current work has a much more profound influence than her decades in traditional medicine. • Next-Gen Breakthrough: A deep dive into the new RedoxGOLD gel — why is it so different, what's the science behind it, the rapid relief she experiences with people, and how it miraculously soothed her not-so-perfect hip. • From the time she swore she wouldn’t tell a soul that she was taking it, to a moral obligation to share it with people, this doctor now makes a bigger impact than she was ever able to have. Dr. Hayes brings her infectious humor, Disney Princess charm, and an unshakable passion for helping people live vibrant, healthy lives. She’s living proof that it’s never too late to pivot toward a more meaningful purpose in life. Grab your favorite glass of wine, and join us for a conversation that just might change your life (and your trillions of cells) forever!
