Together, we discuss my own acne journey and the role of H. Pylori, which Dr. Lyon helped diagnose, and when antibiotics are beneficial. We explore supplements like creatine and colostrum for muscle retention, fertility, and metabolic health, along with practical ways to improve kids' nutrition—covering everything from healthy school lunches to creating positive habits at home.

With 18 years of experience in western medicine, Kim is one of the few experts boldly tackling this often-ignored topic, shedding light on the 95% of people who may unknowingly be living with parasites. We discuss the symptoms, causes, and how to cleanse your body, along with tips on water purification, food safety, and holistic therapies. Kim makes this eye-opening (and slightly terrifying) subject both approachable and empowering, helping you take control of your health with practical advice.

Ep. 149 On today’s episode of Pursuit of Wellness, I sit down with Dr. Marty Makary, a healthcare advocate, surgeon, and New York Times best-selling author, to dissect the complex web of our current healthcare system and its impact on everyday health. Dr. Marty pulls back the curtain on major blind spots in healthcare, from women's health to food safety issues like food dyes and seed oils in baby formula. We dive into the powerful effects of chronic illness and lifestyle choices, discussing the influence of school lunch programs, hormone disruptors, and the hidden dangers of ultra-processed foods. Dr. Marty also shares how cultural obedience within the healthcare system can delay necessary change and offers practical steps for optimizing family health, especially for children. This episode is an eye-opener on preventative care, the root causes of chronic issues, and the importance of community and purpose in maintaining overall well-being.

Ep. #139 On today’s episode of Pursuit of Wellness, I dive deep into the journey of financial freedom and wellness with our incredible guest, Shamina Taylor. We explore how fears around finances can hold us back and discuss the impact of childhood trauma on our relationship with money. We talk about the victim mentality versus taking accountability and how to overcome feelings of shame and guilt. Shamina shares practical tips on saving, breaking generational scarcity, and creating a wealthy mindset, as well as how to find your purpose and start small. We even dive into the fun (and slightly cheeky) topic of sugar daddies, how to embrace the art of receiving, and what it really means to redefine wellness when it comes to financial freedom and abundance. Let’s jump in!

Ep. # 137 On today’s episode of Pursuit of Wellness, I’m joined by Nikki Novo. You might remember that I recently had a soul reading, and I found it so impactful so I had to bring Nikki on to talk to you all. We get really spiritual and talk about how to find your life purpose, tapping into your own intuition, and how to fully align to your higher self. Nikki talks more about “spirit babies” and some of the thoughts behind miscarriages, as well as breaking down how ancestry enters the equation and what it’s like to break away from your lineage. Lastly, we talk about how to know when you’ve found a soul mate and the various types of relationships you can have. Today is a good one, so let’s jump in!

Ep. #119 Join me for another episode of Pursuit of Wellness as I uncover the secrets to radiant skin and luscious hair with Kristina and Sara, founders of Vitaclean. It all started when a peculiar sludge problem in their London shower led them to explore the unsettling effects of hard water on beauty routines and the importance of effective filtration solutions. I share my own battles with hard water in Austin and London and how Vitaclean’s innovative three-layer filtration system has been a game-changer for my skincare and hair care. We talk about entrepreneurship and the challenges of being a female owned company. Kristina and Sara share their own journeys, from securing their first round of funding to the rewarding experiences of working together. Tune in to today’s episode for a breadth of knowledge about water quality, and for a special chance to win a Vitaclean kit!

In this episode of Pursuit of Wellness, Daisy shares her journey from the soccer field to health clinics, discovering issues like candida and a detoxification gene mutation.
