“If you’re 65 and healthy, you may be living another 30 years.” That changes EVERYTHING - Michael Clinton. Longevity Nation
The Debbie Nigro Show
Nothing like a fast-moving, inspiring, laugh-filled conversation about living longer, living louder… and refusing to sit quietly on the sidelines of life. That’s exactly what happened on this week’s Wellness Wednesday edition of Keeping the “Live” in Alive! when I welcomed powerhouse guest Michael Clinton to The Debbie Nigro Show. Michael — former president of Hearst Magazines and now founder of Roar Forward — joined me fresh off the launch of his bestselling new book, Longevity Nation, which was just selected by the prestigious Next Big Idea Club as one of the books...

Mushroom Coffee? Tried it Yet? Wild Ancient Remedies Are Turning Into Modern Rituals
The Debbie Nigro Show
My best gal pal tried to get me to try mushroom coffee over a year ago. I still haven’t tried it. Recently more friends started mentioning they were drinking it. I thought OK well maybe I should look into it. I’m not the biggest mushroom fan, though I do like them sauteed in olive oil well done and I'm always interested in a good marsala dish! But you’ll never get me to eat a really wild mushroom that my other half (a former chef ) might pick up excitedly while foraging through the woods. No matter how hard he tries to convince me that wild mushrooms are a delicacy, I...

World-Class Sleep Pioneer Says What You Eat Determines How You Sleep
The Debbie Nigro Show
Sleep issues are a BIG deal—just ask someone who’s been up all night involuntarily. More than half of all Americans have difficulty falling or staying asleep. Good sleep is critical for "Keeping the 'Live' in 'Alive'! I had a ‘Random Run In’ with Dr. Marie-Pierre St-Onge, PhD, a nutrition scientist and a pioneer in the field of sleep health. I was on an Amtrak to Boston, and I happened to choose the seat next to her. She was working diligently on her computer. I kept sneaking peaks at the bright fun patterned shirt she was wearing that I finally figured out reminded...

The Debbie Nigro Show
Okay… BIG moment. I'm finally shared something I’ve been working on behind the scenes for almost a year—and let me tell you… it’s one of those “how did this even happen?!” stories that I LOVE. It all started with a random LinkedIn connection. You know how sometimes you just click with someone instantly? That’s exactly what happened when Stephen Caldwell connected with me—serial entrepreneur, big thinker, and now… my partner-in-good-commotion. What started as a simple connection turned into a wildly exciting collaboration built on mutual respect, shared...

Keeping the “Live” in Alive! From Laughter Science to Caffeinated Lollipops! Let's Roll

Some days on the show just feel good from the first minute… and this was one of them.

Who is "The Most Interesting WOMAN in the World"? (Surprise! She’s Over 50 and Still in the Game!)
The Debbie Nigro Show
Some people do their best thinking on a walk. Me? I do my best thinking in the shower. So I was thinking in the shower about how “The Most Interesting Man in the World” is back — yes, that guy, Jonathan Goldsmith, returning as the Dos Equis spokesperson after a ten-year hiatus, now with a funny “amnesia” twist and a whole lot of nostalgia. And while I do appreciate a sexy, wise older gentleman with an open collar and a “stay thirsty, my friends” vibe, my shower thoughts flowed to this thought: “Okay… but where is the campaign for “The Most Interesting WOMAN...

When Travel, Humor & Human Connection Collide
The Debbie Nigro Show
When Travel, Humor & Human Connection Collide: A Joyful Conversation with Melissa Rodway Some of the best stories on The Debbie Nigro Show start with a “premonition.” You know… that little voice that says to someone, “I should reach out to Debbie.” And when that voice belongs to someone with great energy, curiosity, and a whole lotta heart? I listen. That’s exactly how I connected with Melissa Rodway—Toronto-based travel storyteller, longtime host of Fly Travel Radio, part-time adventurer, occasional stand-up comic, and author of the five-star Amazon hit The People You...

More Parts Than a Chicken Nugget—and Still Rocking Life
The Debbie Nigro Show
Some conversations stop you in your tracks—in the very best way. This Wellness Wednesday on The Debbie Nigro Show, I met a man whose story is the definition of still in the game. Meet B.J. Odom—radio veteran, comedian, podcaster, author, and a living, breathing miracle. B.J. has survived two transplants (a heart and a kidney), multiple surgeries, radiation treatments, and a lifetime of medical curveballs that started before he was even two years old. Doctors once told his parents he likely wouldn’t live past his teens. He’s now 70 years young… and funnier than ever. His...

“Leave It to Norwegians in Florida to Convince Me Cold Weather Is Good for Me”
The Debbie Nigro Show
Some of the best radio & podcast conversations start exactly where you don’t expect them to…like poolside in Florida—in bathing suits, no makeup, and not a business card in sight. That’s how I met Kari Berit—in what I call a “Random Run-In.” Kari and her hubby were on two lounge chairs in the sun at a hotel pool in Florida. The only other slice of sun not being blocked by our mutual hotel building was hitting a lounge chair right next to them. This cold, pale New Yorker wanted that only other sunny spot, but I didn’t want to be a too-close lounger (kinda the same as a...
info_outlineEver feel like you're stuck in a loop of I’ll do it tomorrow? You're not alone! On this week's Wellness Wednesday episode of The Debbie Nigro Show, we tackled procrastination and the sneaky ways we self-sabotage—especially when it comes to fitness, confidence, and transformation.
My fabulous guest, Danita Young, is a transformational coach and cognitive performance expert who knows a thing or two (or a thousand!) about helping people break free from limiting beliefs. From starting as a personal trainer to becoming a national bikini competitor, to creating Booty Bands (yes, you read that right!), she’s been on a mission to help women in particular, step into their unstoppable selves.
Why Do We Procrastinate?
Danita spilled the truth: It’s not just about motivation—it’s about mindset. Most of us carry around beliefs we’ve absorbed from society, family, and the media that whisper, You can’t do this. But guess what? That’s a lie! She teaches women to track their subconscious beliefs and shift their mindset from self-doubt to unstoppable confidence.
Can You Really Transform at Any Age?
One of my favorite moments? When Danita shared the story of Joan, who started her fitness journey at 75 and now, at 80, has the best body of her life. Proof that transformation is possible at any age—as long as you believe it is.
The Magic Formula to Overcoming Stress & Procrastination
Danita offers a free masterclass that delivers five powerful steps to break free from stress, anxiety, and procrastination. She doesn’t believe in fluff—just straight-to-the-point, actionable strategies to help you stop waiting and start winning.
Let’s Talk Booty Bands!
Of course, we had to chat about her Booty Bands—the simple but genius fitness tool trusted by over 85,000 women. Whether you’re working out at home or on the go, these bands help sculpt and tone your body in just 15 minutes a day. And yes, I promised her I'd actually start using mine! (I know they're around here somewhere!)
