Ep 934: The Wellness Industry May Be Destroying Your Health with Dr. John Douillard What if the wellness industry has been making health far more complicated than it needs to be? Most modern health advice focuses on eliminating more foods, taking more supplements, and following increasingly restrictive rules. But according to John Douillard, true health is not built through restriction — it’s built through resilience. In this episode of the Sisterhood of S.W.E.A.T., Linda sits down with Ayurvedic expert, bestselling author, chiropractor, and founder of LifeSpa, John Douillard, to explore how ancient healing practices are now being validated by modern science. With more than 40 years of clinical experience helping over 100,000 patients, Dr. John explains why digestion may be the foundation of overall health, how the lymphatic system influences inflammation and aging, and why circadian rhythm, breathwork, and seasonal living play a much bigger role in wellness than most people realize. This conversation challenges many of today’s wellness trends and offers a more sustainable, practical approach to supporting the body naturally — without fear, obsession, or constant restriction. If you’ve been overwhelmed by conflicting health advice or feel like you’re doing everything “right” but still not feeling your best, this episode brings a refreshing perspective rooted in both science and ancient wisdom. In This Episode Why health is about resilience, not restriction The hidden dangers of “bubble-wrapping” your diet How digestion impacts hormones, immunity, skin, and energy What may actually be causing food sensitivities The connection between stress, inflammation, and the lymphatic system Why circadian rhythm is critical for healing and longevity The benefits of nose breathing vs. mouth breathing How seasonal eating supports microbiome diversity Simple daily habits that naturally support long-term health About the Guest John Douillard is a globally recognized Ayurvedic expert, chiropractor, author, and founder of LifeSpa.

In this thought-provoking episode of The Sisterhood of S.W.E.A.T., Linda Mitchell sits down with legendary actor Corbin Bernsen to explore his latest indie psychological horror film, The Yeti. At first glance, it’s a survival story set against the backdrop of nature’s raw power—but beneath the surface, it reveals something deeper. This isn’t just about fear of the unknown… It’s about ego, greed, and the dangerous illusion that we can control everything around us. Corbin shares how The Yeti flips the script on traditional horror—showing that sometimes, humans become the real monsters when pushed to their limits. This conversation dives into fear, resilience, purpose, and what it truly means to survive—not just physically, but mentally and emotionally. 🔥 In This Episode, We Explore: ✨ Why psychological horror hits deeper than traditional fear ✨ How ego and greed can turn humans into the real “monsters” ✨ The illusion of control—and why nature always wins ✨ What survival really looks like beyond physical strength ✨ How to face fear and step outside your comfort zone ✨ The mindset that separates those who thrive… from those who don’t 💡 Key Takeaways The greatest battles aren’t external—they’re internal. Survival isn’t just physical—it’s mental and emotional. Respect—for nature and for others—is the foundation of resilience. Ego and control can be more dangerous than fear itself. Kindness and humanity are what ultimately sustain us. 🎬 About The Yeti The Yeti is a gripping psychological horror film that goes beyond creature-feature expectations. Instead of focusing solely on an external threat, the film explores how extreme conditions bring out the best—and worst—in people.

Law and Major League.
