Fascia, Lymph & Skin: The Real Beauty Secret | Tamara Renee
Today’s episode, I’m joined by the beautiful Tamara Renee, who is doing incredible work in the world of fascia, lymphatic health, and natural beauty. We dive into how your fascia and lymphatic system play a huge role in how your skin looks and ages. Tamara explains why supporting your lymphatic system is step one before working on fascia, and how everything in the body is deeply connected through this system. We talk about how fascia can hold physical and emotional trauma, and why releasing it can completely change how your body looks and feels. We also get into some of the tools and treatments she uses, from fascia blasting to vibrational plates, and how these can even support things like incontinence. We touch on endermology, detoxing, and how to properly support your body from the inside out. Tamara also shares how she works with women both in person and remotely, helping them restore their bodies naturally without relying on Botox or fillers. Because real beauty isn’t just skin deep… it comes from what’s happening underneath.

Dreams, Anxiety, and Earth Medicine: Healing Through Sleep | Lynda Samphire
My beautiful friend Lynda Samphire joins me again for another fascinating conversation where we explore the deeper connections between mental health, sleep, and earth medicine. In this episode we talk about depression and anxiety and how natural approaches, grounding practices, and proper sleep can play an important role in healing. Lynda shares insights on why sleep is so essential for the brain, how the brain detoxifies during the night, and why protecting your sleep might be one of the most powerful things you can do for your health. We also venture into some more mysterious territory. I share a recent dream I had and Lynda helps unpack what it could mean. We discuss the vibrations some people feel just before falling asleep, what may be happening in the body during those moments, and touch briefly on topics like astral travel and altered states of consciousness. Lynda also explains the traditional use of Amanita and why many people believe it can support deeper sleep and healing. If you are curious about sleep, consciousness, earth medicine, and natural approaches to mental wellbeing, this is a conversation you won’t want to miss. Lynda will also be launching a new 8-week course this fall, so if you want to learn more about her work you can reach out to her below.

Iodine, The Missing Link to Optimal Health | Dr. Sarah Myhill
Today I’m joined by Dr. Sarah Myhill, a British physician who has spent over 30 years working with chronic illness, particularly ME and chronic fatigue. Her work focuses on something most people completely overlook mitochondrial health You can find her here: Website: https://drmyhill.co.uk/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drmyhill/ She believes many chronic conditions are not random but come down to how well your cells produce energy One of the most interesting parts of our conversation was iodine Dr. Sarah’s view is clear almost everyone is deficient and that deficiency can affect everything from thyroid function to mental health and long term disease risk Most people think of goiter as the sign of iodine deficiency but that’s actually a late stage problem long before that, the body is already struggling Testing is not always reliable so her approach is to start low and go slowly building up carefully over time We also talk about the role of diet especially ketogenic and paleo approaches in helping rebalance the body, reduce bacterial overgrowth, and support metabolic health This is a fascinating conversation that challenges a lot of what we’ve been told about chronic illness and what the body actually needs to function well Have you ever looked into iodine or tested your levels? #Iodine #ThyroidHealth #MitochondrialHealth #ChronicFatigue #ME #DrSarahMyhill #FunctionalMedicine #OptimalHealth iodine deficiency, iodine health benefits, iodine and thyroid, iodine deficiency symptoms, thyroid health, Dr Sarah Myhill, Sarah Myhill, mitochondrial health, mitochondrial dysfunction, chronic fatigue, ME CFS, chronic illness, functional medicine, metabolic health, ketogenic diet, keto diet, paleo diet, iodine testing, iodine supplementation, thyroid function, optimal health, chronic fatigue syndrome, ME CFS treatment, cellular energy, bacterial overgrowth, iodine deficiency and mental health

She Started Lifting at 60. At 74 She Became Classic Universe Woman | Renee Landers
One of the most inspiring women I've ever had on this podcast—and that's saying a lot because I've been fortunate to interview some truly incredible guests. At 74 years old, Renee Landers has just been crowned **Classic Universe Woman**, after entering her very first beauty pageant. But that's only the latest chapter in an extraordinary story. Following spinal fusion surgery, Renee didn't start lifting weights until she was 60. Then, at 69, during the COVID pandemic, she entered her first bodybuilding competition. Since then, she's competed on stages around the world, proving that it's never too late to reinvent yourself. Renee lives by one simple philosophy: **the power of saying yes**. She embraces new opportunities, takes chances, travels the world solo, surrounds herself with positive people, and refuses to let age define what's possible. In this inspiring conversation, we talk about: * Her daily routine, training, and nutrition * How she recovered from spinal fusion and built incredible strength * Her bodybuilding journey and competitions * Winning the Classic Universe Woman title * The freedom and confidence she's found through solo travel * Why saying "yes" has transformed her life If you've ever wondered whether it's too late to chase a dream, this episode is all the proof you'll ever need.

How Old Are You... Really? The Truth About Your Biological Age | Nikolina Lauc
I had such a fascinating conversation with Nikolina Lauc, CEO and Co-Founder of GlycanAge. We explored what glycans actually are, what biological age really means, and why two people born on the same day can be aging at completely different rates. We also talked about how inflammation, exercise, diet, stress, PTSD, and trauma can all influence the speed at which we age—and, more importantly, what you can do to slow that process and even improve your biological age.

The Modern World Is Hijacking Your Brain (Here's How to Take It Back) | Dan Oig
This week on The Aging Games Podcast, I'm joined by Dan Oig, meditation and breathwork coach and founder of Origin Coaching. In a world of constant notifications, endless scrolling, and overstimulated minds, how do we find peace? We dive into: ✅ Why our brains are constantly overstimulated—and how to quiet the "monkey mind." ✅ The hidden cost of multitasking and why focusing on one thing at a time can transform your productivity and wellbeing. ✅ How just 15 minutes of meditation a day can change your brain and your life. ✅ Breathwork, why nasal breathing matters, and the fascinating experiment where breathing through the mouth for just one week led to measurable declines in health. ✅ Ancestral trauma, how it shapes us, and practical ways to begin healing. ✅ Sound meditation and how everyday noises can become an anchor for mindfulness instead of a distraction. If you've been feeling overwhelmed, stressed, or like your mind never switches off, this conversation is packed with practical tools you can start using today. ✅ Learn more about Dan 👉 origincoaching.ca ✅ Book a call with Dan 👉 calendar.app.google/Gb5rEBaZhQ2QK3MMA 🎧 Tune in and let us know your biggest takeaway. #TheAgingGames #DanOig #Meditation #Breathwork #StressRelief #Mindfulness #HealthyAging #NasalBreathing #MentalHealth #Longevity

The Journey From Burnout to Purpose | Kaylan Gonzalez | The Aging Games Podcast

The Journey From Burnout to Purpose | Kaylan Gonzalez | The Aging Games Podcast
Today’s podcast is with my friend Kaylan Gonzalez, whom I first met on the set of Magdalena’s Land. He later worked with me on The Last Sun, and over time I came to learn about the extraordinary journey that completely transformed his life. Kaylan began his career as a firefighter in Gibraltar. Strong, disciplined, and dedicated, he seemed outwardly stable, yet internally he reached a point where he became mentally and physically stuck. There was a period when he could barely get out of bed for months. Before anything else changed, he attended a 10 day silent retreat in Madrid. That experience became a turning point, opening his eyes to a completely different way of understanding himself, his mind, and his purpose. Afterward, he stepped away from his former life and spent two years traveling through Central and South America. During this time, he immersed himself in learning from Indigenous communities, Mayan traditions, and shamans, exploring spiritual practices, healing rituals, and new ways of seeing the world. He also experienced a period where he spent time confined in a cell, an event that became another profound chapter in his personal transformation rather than the end of his story. In this episode, we talk about releasing trauma that the body can hold onto, whether personal, ancestral, or even rooted in birth experiences. We explore Latin American rituals, spiritual awakening, and the importance of living with joy, playfulness, and authenticity instead of staying stuck in fear or old patterns. Kaylan’s message is powerful: you are never truly trapped. Even the darkest periods can become the doorway to purpose, healing, and a completely new life. This is a deeply human conversation about resilience, transformation, and rediscovering what it means to feel alive.

Why Light, Nature, and Environment May Matter More Than You Think | Dr. Kathleen Horstmeyer
In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Kathleen Horstmeyer, healthcare educator and Director of Certification and Continuing Education at the Institute of Applied Quantum Biology. With a background that includes years working inside conventional medical systems, she shares the personal and professional journey that led her toward a deeper interest in natural health, environmental medicine, and the emerging field of quantum biology. We talk about how light, circadian rhythms, and our relationship with nature influence cellular function and overall well-being. Dr. Horstmeyer explains why she believes modern health challenges cannot be understood through chemistry alone, and how factors like sunlight exposure, biological rhythms, and environmental inputs play a crucial role in how our bodies regulate themselves. She also shares personal stories from her own life, including how she became interested in phototherapy technologies designed to interact with the body’s natural signaling processes. Throughout the conversation, she reflects on the importance of supporting the body’s innate capacity to restore balance rather than relying solely on symptom-based approaches.

How Sunlight Helped Her Lose 65 Pounds | Autoimmune Healing Story | Natalie Collier
In this episode, I sit down with Nat (@natthesunwhore) to talk about her incredible health transformation and the role sunlight played in changing her life. Nat shares how, after caring for her mother who suffered from Lewy body dementia, she went through a very difficult period following her mother’s passing. The stress and grief eventually led to Hashimoto’s, significant weight gain, and declining health, leaving her feeling exhausted and disconnected from her body. Everything began to change when she discovered the power of sunlight and circadian health. By consistently getting morning sun, afternoon sun, and doing her workouts outdoors, her body started responding in ways she never expected. Over time she lost 65 pounds, improved her energy, and began feeling better than she had in years. In this conversation we talk about: • Nat’s journey through grief, autoimmune issues, and weight gain • How sunlight and circadian rhythms can influence metabolism and hormones • The role of melanin and why it matters for energy and skin health • Her supplement Sun Scoop, designed to support melanin production and help maintain a natural tan • Her 8-week group program focused on circadian health and sunlight practices • Why sunlight exposure to different areas of the body may support hormone balance Nat’s story is a powerful reminder that sometimes the most fundamental elements of health — light, movement, and time outdoors — can have a profound impact on how we feel and function.

From Communist Romania to Autoimmune Reset | Dr. Raluca Tiganila
Today’s podcast is a deeply personal and powerful conversation with Dr. Raluca Tiganila. She shares her story of growing up in Communist Romania with seriously ill parents, navigating hardship from a very young age, and the long journey that eventually brought her to Canada, where she fulfilled her dream of becoming a doctor. We talk about the profound loss of her mother, the pain of not being able to help her, and how that experience shaped her mission to support others facing complex health challenges. Now holding a doctorate in nutrition, Dr. Raluca focuses on digestive disorders and autoimmune conditions. In this episode, we also discuss a difficult C-Diff case and the philosophy behind her Autoimmune Reset Program.

Your Body Odor Is Trying to Tell You Something | Dr. Chris Callewaert
The Science of Body Odor with Dr. Chris Callewaert What if body odor isn’t something to mask… but something to understand? In this fascinating conversation, I sit down with Dr. Chris Callewaert, also known as Dr. Armpit, to explore the science behind body odor, what actually causes it, and how we can work with our biology instead of just covering it up. We dive into: • What really creates underarm odor • The role of bacteria and your unique skin microbiome • Why some people barely smell and others struggle • Natural ways to reduce odor without relying on heavy deodorants • Whether “detoxing” changes your scent • How diet, hormones, stress, and environment affect body smell We also explore something even more intriguing: disease detection through scent. Dogs have been trained to detect COVID and even certain cancers. We discuss the remarkable story of a nurse who identified her husband’s Parkinson’s disease years before diagnosis simply by noticing a distinct change in his scent. Different diseases can produce unique volatile compounds, and Dr. Chris explains the cutting edge research behind this. This episode goes far beyond hygiene. It’s about biology, microbiomes, metabolism, and what your body might be communicating through scent. If you’ve ever wondered whether you really need deodorant, or if your body odor could be telling you something deeper, this one will change how you think about smell.

Mold Toxicity, Hashimoto’s, and Healing Through Circadian Health | Ashlee Rowland
In this episode, I sit down with Ashlee Rowland from @simplholistic for a powerful conversation about healing, resilience, and working with the body rather than against it. We talk about mold toxicity, Hashimoto’s, bone spurs, and how these conditions were addressed through a holistic, root-cause approach.

From Norway to Gibraltar: Extreme Adventure, Mental Health, and the Power of Nature | Jonas Böhlmark
In this episode, I share an incredible message from Jonas Böhlmark, known as the Last Viking, an extreme adventurer I met on a beach in Spain shortly after his arrival to Gibraltar. Jonas paddleboarded all the way from Norway to Gibraltar, a journey that took three and a half years. Along the way, he also took on adventure skiing challenges and ran a marathon every day. His story is extraordinary, but what makes it truly powerful is his openness about mental health. Jonas lives with bipolar disorder and uses his adventures to bring awareness to mental health and inspire others to keep going, even in their darkest moments. He has already published one book and is currently writing another to continue sharing his journey and message with the world. We also talk about the importance of nature, reconnecting with the natural world, and how time outdoors can be deeply healing for both body and mind. This is a conversation about resilience, purpose, and the quiet strength that comes from living close to nature. Follow him here: https://www.instagram.com/jonasbohlmark

The Truth About Sex and Aging with Susan Bratton
In this episode, I sit down with Susan Bratton for a conversation that is open, honest, and genuinely eye-opening. Susan is the CEO of Better Lover, Personal Life Media, and The20, and has spent over two decades teaching something most of us were never taught and were often discouraged from exploring: pleasure-based sex education. She’s the author of 44 books and programs and reaches more than 300,000 readers through her newsletters, where she shares practical, real-world advice on intimacy, vitality, and connection. We talk about something that still makes people uncomfortable, even though it affects every relationship and every stage of life. Susan explains how intimacy, pleasure, and even orgasm can play a role in longevity and overall health, and why this part of life does not have to decline with age. We get into very real topics like vaginal dryness, erectile dysfunction, and what actually works when these things start to show up. What I loved about this conversation is that we break it down in a practical way, from simple things you can do at home, to mid-range options, to more advanced treatments like PRP, laser therapies, and red light devices. There’s also a real show and tell where Susan walks through the tools and devices she personally uses, so this is not just theory. It’s practical, honest, and surprisingly empowering. We also talk about intimacy in long-term relationships, her relationship with her husband, and concepts like yoni and yoni massage in a grounded, easy-to-understand way.

We talk about Anne’s incredibly difficult life path, including abusive relationships, deep trauma, and how those experiences ultimately led her to awaken her psychic and healing abilities. She shares how her near-death experiences completely transformed her understanding of life, death, fear, and purpose — and how she now uses her gifts to help others, even assisting in murder investigations. In this episode, we explore: ✨ What actually happens during a near-death experience ✨ Why we come here — and why some of us return ✨ Letting go of the fear of dying and the fear of losing loved ones ✨ What exists on “the other side” ✨ Whether reality is more like the Matrix or the Truman Show ✨ How trauma can become a doorway to awakening ✨ Anne’s journey into mediumship and psychic healing This is a powerful, expansive conversation that will make you question everything you think you know about reality, consciousness, and why we’re here. I know you’re going to love this episode — and Anne will absolutely be back. 🔗 Learn more about Anne and her work: 👉 https://www.annebayford.co.uk/ 👉 https://www.instagram.com/anne.bayford/ Follow us on Instagram! https://www.instagram.com/theaginggames/

The Hidden Truth About Our Food System | Mollie Engelhart
I had an amazing conversation with Mollie Engelhart about regenerative farming, food, health, and reconnecting with nature. Molly shares her powerful journey from being a well known vegan chef with multiple successful restaurants in California to becoming a regenerative farmer and rancher. We talk about what prompted that shift, what she learned along the way, and how she went from oat lattes to steak. We dive deep into her book Debunked by Nature, where she challenges many of the narratives we have been taught about food, sustainability, and health. We discuss why soil health truly matters, how the microbiomes in the soil directly affect the quality of our food, and why that connection is inseparable from human health. This conversation also explores the importance of reconnecting with nature, understanding where our food comes from, and questioning long held beliefs about what is best for our bodies and the planet. If you are interested in regenerative agriculture, real food, soil health, and how our modern food system has shaped human health, this is a conversation you will not want to miss.

Mindsight, Telepathy, and Human Potential With Dalia Burgoin

Mindsight, Telepathy, and Human Potential With Dalia Burgoin
This was one of the most fascinating conversations of my entire life. In today’s episode, I sit down with Dalia Burgoin — an energy arts practitioner, author, and trainer whose work completely reshapes what we think we know about human potential. We talk about telekinesis, telepathy, Mindsight (extraocular vision), and the extraordinary abilities she teaches through her intuitive bio-energy system. But the most moving part of our conversation was about her daughter, Lidu, who is autistic, nonspeaking, and yet has demonstrated remarkable telepathic abilities that are currently being researched at Stanford and other institutes around the world. Dalia shares how children — even blind children or children with prosthetic eyes — have learned to read, navigate space, and “see” through their intuitive senses. We dive into how perception works, why our brains are not the limit, and how human consciousness is far more incredible than we were ever taught. After the interview, we talked about something I’ll never forget: how her daughter has entered people’s dream states to teach them, alongside her guides and angels. We also explored mind-body energy, objects sticking to walls through intention, and many other phenomena that make you question everything you thought you knew about reality. If you’ve ever felt that humans are capable of so much more — this episode will open your mind in the best possible way. This is one you don’t want to miss. https://www.daliaburgoin.com/ https://www.instagram.com/dalia_burgoin/ https://extra-ordinaries.com/

The Hidden Power of Water and Why It Matters | Patrick Durkin
I had a fascinating conversation with Patrick Durkin, author of Flow: From Pure and Safe Water to Higher States of Consciousness and founder of The Wellness Enterprise. What struck me most wasn’t just the science, it was his journey. He walked away from a very successful, high-earning business because something deeper was calling him. That led him into working with water in a completely different way. We talked about how water isn’t just hydration. It holds information, it responds to its environment, and considering that most of our body is water, that matters more than most people realize. He created the Aqua Energizer as a way to bring structure back to water using crystals, copper, sacred geometry, and natural materials. We also got into why the quality of your water could be one of the most overlooked pieces of your health. If you’ve never thought about water beyond “just drink more,” this might shift your perspective.

Your Brain on Anesthesia: What You Need to Know with Dr. Sande Bargeron
In today’s episode, I sit down with Dr. Sande Bargeron from Beyond Brain Health for a truly eye-opening conversation about anesthesia and its long-term impact on our health. We talk about how anesthesia affects the brain, cognition, memory, and overall neurological function, and why women in menopause — especially those who are not on BHRT — are at a higher risk for complications. Dr. Sande explains why detoxing after anesthesia is essential and how certain commonly used medications can stay in the body, build up over time, and even interact negatively with other drugs like Cipro and other fluoride-based medications. We also explore the connection between anesthesia, inflammation, hormone changes, immune stress, and the possibility of increased cancer risk in vulnerable individuals. Dr. Sande shares her personal story, how she became interested in brain health and neurotoxicity, and why she now dedicates her work to helping people understand what really happens inside the brain after medical procedures. We also begin discussing breast implant illness, sharing parts of our own journeys and looking at how neuroinflammation and toxicity contribute to the symptoms many women experience. This powerful topic will continue in Part 2, where we go deeper into breast implant illness and the healing process.

Awakening After Fifty. The Inner Rewilding Journey with Holly Copeland
In this week’s episode, I sit down with Holly Erin Copeland, a former conservation biologist who stepped out of the scientific world and into the deeper spiritual realm of healing, coherence, and inner rewilding. Her journey from data and ecology to energy medicine, biofield tuning, and ceremonial plant work is nothing short of extraordinary. We talk about how her life transformed as she learned to follow the intelligence of the body, reconnect with the frequency of the heart, and live from a place of deep presence and love. Holly now guides others through this same shift, helping spiritual seekers and earth-conscious women return to the wild wisdom within themselves. We also explore the powerful transformation many women experience after fifty. Why it happens, what drives it, and how to move through it with more ease, clarity, and peace. Holly shares simple practices for reconnecting with your truth, strengthening your inner coherence, and finding the joy that has always been there. We also discuss her upcoming retreat in Costa Rica this April, which includes plant medicine work for those who feel called to deeper healing. It was a beautiful, uplifting, and truly expansive conversation. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did. You can learn more about Holly at: https://www.hollycopeland.co

The Diet That Triggered His Arthritis and the One That Reversed It | Phil Escott
In today’s podcast episode, I sit down with my good friend Phil Escott, whose health journey is nothing short of extraordinary. In 2012 Phil was suffering from debilitating autoimmune arthritis. The pain was so severe he could barely move and felt completely hopeless. Doctors had no solutions and his condition only kept getting worse. What he eventually discovered is that the vegan diet he believed was helping him was actually destroying his health. Phil’s turning point came when he shifted to the carnivore diet. That change, combined with EMF and artificial light avoidance, cold thermogenesis and other ancestral lifestyle practices, began reversing the autoimmune conditions that had once made daily life unbearable. He has been a committed carnivore since 2015 and has become a powerful voice in the health world, helping people understand how diet and modern lifestyles can either activate illness or restore wellness. In 2019 I organized the first carnivore retreat in the world together with Phil. It was a groundbreaking experience and the retreats he has hosted since then have been huge successes with experts attending from all over the world. Phil also wrote the book titled Arthritis The Best Thing That Ever Happened To Me, which includes a foreword by Dr Jack Kruse. It became an Amazon Kindle bestseller and is now available in print. His work dives deep into contemporary lifestyle choices, ancestral health, emotional balancing and the often misunderstood nature of spiritual awakening. Phil now consults with clients worldwide and helps them reverse metabolic and autoimmune issues through personalized guidance. He offers one on one consultations on Zoom and has a full online program for anyone struggling with arthritis or chronic inflammation.

Before You Take Antibiotics Again, Watch This | Talia Smith
Today I sat down with Talia Smith, a young woman whose life changed forever after taking Cipro, a commonly prescribed antibiotic for urinary tract infections. While caring for her quadriplegic husband, she suddenly became so severely injured by this medication that she ended up in hospice and was given only three weeks to live. Talia went four weeks without being able to eat. She could not drink, walk, or care for herself in any way. She survived the impossible and came back from the brink of death, but she still requires round-the-clock palliative care. She cannot walk, she struggles with daily tasks, and yet she has become a powerful advocate raising awareness about the dangers of fluoroquinolone antibiotics like ciprofloxacin. Her story is a cautionary tale for everyone. These medications are harming people around the world, often without warning. Please follow and support her work Website: https://www.thisisfloxed.com/ https://www.instagram.com/finding_vulneraries/ Instagram: @finding_vulneraries Talia’s courage is extraordinary, and her message is one the world needs to hear.

Why We Age — and Can We Possibly Live to 200? | Dr. Bill Andrews
In this fascinating episode, I sit down with Dr. Bill Andrews, one of the world’s leading experts on longevity and anti-aging. For decades, Dr. Andrews has dedicated his life to uncovering the true cause of aging — and how we can slow it down or even reverse it. We dive deep into the science of telomeres, the protective caps on our DNA that shorten as we age. Dr. Andrews explains how this process contributes to aging and disease, what causes telomere shortening, and why our cells are essentially pre-programmed for death. He also shares the latest breakthroughs in telomere lengthening, including a new plant-based formula he’s been developing to naturally support telomere repair and promote cellular longevity. Dr. Andrews earned his Ph.D. in Molecular and Population Genetics and holds over 50 patents related to anti-aging and genetic research. He led the team that discovered human telomerase, the enzyme that rebuilds telomeres — a breakthrough that changed how we understand aging at the cellular level. His work has been featured in Popular Science, The Today Show, The Doctor’s TV Show, and several longevity documentaries. He is also the creator of Telo-Vital, a longevity supplement designed to support telomere health and healthy aging. If you’re fascinated by the science of living longer, healthier, and stronger — this episode is a must-watch.

Healing the Whole Family with Homeopathy | Vanessa Baldwin
In this episode, I sit down with Vanessa Baldwin for a fascinating conversation about homeopathy — and how it can help keep you and your family healthy, vibrant, and mentally strong. We talk about everything from simple acute remedies to deeper constitutional ones tailored to each individual. Vanessa explains how she works as a homeopath, how children can benefit, and why raising them in a completely sterile environment may not be the best approach. She shares how natural exposure — even to childhood illnesses — can strengthen the immune system and protect against more serious conditions later in life. We also dive into how homeopathy supports women during menopause, easing symptoms and helping with the emotional transition. Vanessa shares how this gentle but powerful modality can even help release ancestral patterns and promote healing that extends through generations. This is such an eye-opening and empowering conversation about natural health, emotional balance, and true vitality. Learn more about Vanessa at brightlightwellnesscoach.com .
