Podcast Interview Marketing for Wellness Pros with Chloe Williamson 11/24/2025

Podcast Interview Marketing for Wellness Pros with Chloe Williamson About this episode: In this strategy-rich conversation, Cate Stillman is joined by Chloe Williamson, senior campaign manager at Interview Valet and specialist in podcast interview marketing for wellness professionals. Chloe brings deep insight into how healers, coaches, and practitioners can grow their influence, expand their reach, and attract aligned clients simply by sharing their expertise on other people’s podcasts. With years of experience booking authors, wellness pros, and thought leaders on top-ranked shows, Chloe explains the real mechanics behind podcast visibility: why long-form conversations convert better than social media, how to position your message so you stand out to hosts, and what wellness pros need to understand before hiring an agency or pitching themselves. Together, Cate and Chloe break down how podcast interviews function as a scalable, sustainable marketing engine—especially for wellness professionals who want authority, trust, and meaningful relationships with potential clients. Key Takeaways: Podcasting as Authority-Building Podcast interviews create instant credibility by letting people hear your story, values, and expertise in a deeper, more human format than typical online content. Thought Leadership Over Algorithms Unlike short-form platforms, podcasts let you speak to highly aligned audiences who already want meaningful transformation—making lead quality dramatically higher. The Right Message Matters More Than Big Shows Chloe explains how niche, mission-aligned podcasts often outperform large shows when it comes to conversions and connection. Strategic Positioning Gets You Booked Wellness pros often pitch from the wrong angle. Chloe outlines the messaging, transformation story, and clarity needed to stand out to podcast hosts. Long-Game Marketing That Compounds When repurposed correctly, one interview becomes months of content—expanding visibility, SEO, and brand assets. Aligned Client Attraction Podcast listeners make decisions based on resonance, not pressure—leading to clients who are more committed, more prepared, and more invested.

Body-Based Healing & Reconnection: Elizabeth Stauder on Somatic Transformation 11/14/2025

Body-Based Healing & Reconnection: Elizabeth Stauder on Somatic Transformation About this Episode In this episode, Cate Stillman sits down with Elizabeth Stauder, a somatic transformation coach, trauma-integration guide, and founder of the Body and Soul Sanctuary. Known for her ability to translate deep nervous-system wisdom into practical healing pathways, Elizabeth blends somatic science, ancestral wisdom, and lived experience. After a near-death vaccine injury catalyzed her journey into trauma healing, she dedicated her work to helping others reconnect with the parts of themselves that were severed during overwhelm or cultural conditioning. Her community-based model empowers people to heal through connection, co-regulation, and embodied belonging. Together, Cate and Elizabeth explore how trauma disconnects us from our inner resources, how community accelerates nervous-system repair, and why somatic reconnection—not willpower—is the foundation of true transformation. Key Takeaways: Trauma as Lost Resource: Trauma isn’t a flaw or a wound to analyze—it's a disconnection from an inner resource that once kept you whole. Healing begins when we learn to reconnect with that missing piece instead of reliving what went wrong. Nervous System Repair Through Somatic Work: Elizabeth shows how somatic practices help the body remember safety, belonging, and coherence. When the nervous system realigns, old patterns naturally dissolve without force or struggle. Community as a Biological Need: Healing accelerates when we’re surrounded by people who listen, attune, and move with us—just like birds or fish syncing in nature. Without this co-regulation, the journey becomes isolating and heavy. Reframing Cultural Narratives of “Brokenness”: Modern culture tells us to handle everything alone, but rugged individualism only deepens disconnection. True transformation requires shared signals, support, and belonging—not self-reliance in isolation. The Power of Co-Regulation and Embodied Presence: In a safe group, nervous systems communicate nonverbally, creating an environment where insights arise organically. When we heal together, the unhealthy layers fall away because they’re no longer needed.

Candida and Gut health with Dr. Michael Biamonte 08/04/2025

Candida and Gut health with Dr. Michael Biamonte About this episode: In this in-depth conversation, Cate Stillman speaks with Dr. Michael Biamonte—clinical nutritionist, founder of the Biamonte Center for Clinical Nutrition, and author of The Candida Chronicles—about the misunderstood and widespread issue of Candida overgrowth. They explore the science behind Candida, the pitfalls of self-supplementation, the limitations of conventional testing, and how lab-guided, phase-based protocols can reverse chronic symptoms often misdiagnosed in traditional medicine. Discover the surprising links between Candida, COVID, heavy metals, leaky gut, and even thyroid disorders, and why radical testing and dietary precision matter more than ever. Key Takeaways: Candida overgrowth affects an estimated 35% of the population and is often medication-induced. Self-prescribing supplements without testing can worsen health by creating new nutrient imbalances. Candida can be missed in standard stool tests due to how it colonizes the gut. Anti-fungal treatment must rotate botanicals every 4 days to avoid mutation and resistance. Probiotics don’t work until Candida load is reduced—timing is critical. Candida often coexists with pathogens like H. pylori and is linked to symptoms like arthritis, chronic fatigue, sinusitis, neurological issues, and more. Detoxification of heavy metals (like mercury, copper, and uranium) is often essential for long-term Candida recovery. Long COVID symptoms may stem from Candida resurgence due to spike protein effects on gut flora. About the Guest – Dr. Michael Biamonte: Dr. Michael Biamonte is the founder of the Biamonte Center for Clinical Nutrition and a pioneer in treating Candida through lab-driven, individualized protocols. He is also the co-creator of BioCybernetics, a clinical software system originally developed for astronauts to optimize nutrition based on lab tests. With decades of clinical experience, Dr. Biamonte has become a leading voice in functional medicine, emphasizing the role of Candida, gut flora, and systemic toxicity in chronic disease. His book The Candida Chronicles offers a deep dive into his five-phase recovery system. 🔗 Learn more at: 👩‍💼 About the Host – Cate Stillman: Cate Stillman is an Ayurvedic practitioner, behavior change expert, and founder of Yogahealer and Club Thrive.
