The generation raised on ultra-processed food is starting to fight back. In this episode, Corey and Christine welcome Penelope, a Gen Z health advocate and co-founder of both the MAHA Girls account and the Step It Ups natural weight loss program, for the second installment of their series: MAHA Girls Gen Z and How One Generation Is Changing the Future of Food. From weighing 320 lbs at 15 and hiding pizza boxes from her health-conscious mom to losing 160 lbs naturally without Ozempic, surgery, or starvation, Penelope's story is a raw look at what ultra-processed food addiction really does to a teenager's body, mind, and family.

Together, they unpack how doctors and therapists told a 320 lb teenager she was "totally fine and healthy," why her therapy sessions served Swedish Fish and gummy bears to kids with anxiety and depression, and what it actually took to break free. Penelope gets honest about stealing money for DoorDash binges, the friends who enabled her eating, and the moment during lockdown when she looked in the mirror and didn't recognize herself. She also shares the simple but powerful approach that changed everything: cut the sugar and flour, make your favorite junk food at home with real ingredients, and move your body every day.

In this episode, Corey and Christine sit down with Blair Horton, creator of Holistic Rendezvous and author of Everyday Elixirs, to explore the growing shift away from alcohol and what’s replacing it. From college party culture to intentional, ingredient-driven drinks, this conversation challenges the assumption that alcohol is the only way to relax, celebrate, or connect.

Blair shares her journey from studying nutrition science to creating herbal mocktails and “elixirs” rooted in real food and seasonal ingredients. Together, they unpack why so many modern drinks are overloaded with sugar, what alcohol actually provides (and what it doesn’t), and how simple ingredients like herbs, citrus, and tea can create depth, ritual, and satisfaction without the crash.

✨ Topics Covered in This Episode: ✔️ Why more people are drinking less alcohol ✔️ The difference between mocktails and intentional beverages ✔️ How alcohol impacts energy, stress, and daily rhythms ✔️ Why most non-alcoholic drinks are still just sugar bombs ✔️ The role of herbs, teas, and bitters in creating depth ✔️ How to build a “drink ritual” without caffeine or alcohol ✔️ Simple ways to elevate drinks using real ingredients ✔️ The surprising audience embracing these drinks (hint: kids) ✔️ Why labeling trends like “sober curious” miss the bigger picture ✔️ How to make drinks that feel special, not restrictive

With a background in holistic nutrition and a passion for seasonal living, Blair’s work blends wellness, creativity, and practicality, helping people rethink what they reach for in their glass.

This episode reframes the role of alcohol entirely. Instead of asking what to remove, it focuses on what to replace it with. For anyone feeling burnt out, overstimulated, or simply wanting something better, this conversation offers a more grounded, intentional approach to how we drink.

In this episode, Corey and Christine sit down with postpartum chef Alana Speed to unpack one of the most overlooked pieces of postpartum recovery: nourishment. From surviving on snacks and skipping meals to the pressure to “bounce back,” this conversation challenges the modern approach to postpartum and reveals why so many moms feel depleted, exhausted, and unsupported.

Alana shares her experience working directly with postpartum women and explains why eating enough, especially in those first 40 days, can make or break recovery. Together, they explore the role of warm, nutrient-dense foods, the impact of stress on milk supply and healing, and why the cultural loss of postpartum care is leaving women to struggle through one of the most demanding seasons of life.

In this episode, Corey and Christine sit down with Kristen Files, adrenal expert and founder of Forest Creek Wellness, to unpack what’s really behind the constant fatigue so many moms are experiencing. From “mom burnout” to brain fog, low motivation, and that feeling of being only half yourself, this conversation challenges the idea that exhaustion is just something you have to push through.

Kristen shares her own story of severe burnout and recovery, and explains how what we often label as emotional or mental overwhelm may actually be rooted in physical imbalances, especially within the body’s stress response system. Together, they explore how modern life, blood sugar swings, lack of rest, and constant low-level stress are quietly draining women’s energy, and what can actually be done to rebuild it.

✨ Topics Covered in This Episode:

✔️ The difference between “normal tired” and true burnout

✔️ What adrenal dysfunction (HPA axis dysregulation) actually is

✔️ Why you might feel like a “half version” of yourself

✔️ The connection between blood sugar, cortisol, and energy crashes

✔️ How burnout is often misdiagnosed as depression or anxiety

✔️ Why coffee, sugar, and quick fixes can make things worse

✔️ The role of protein, minerals, and whole foods in recovery

✔️ Why walking and nervous system regulation matter more than intense workouts

✔️ The hidden impact of isolation and lack of community on moms

✔️ Why some restrictive diets may harm women long-term

🧠 More About This Episode:

Kristen Files is a nutritional therapy practitioner and adrenal health specialist who helps women uncover the root causes of fatigue, hormone imbalance, and burnout. After experiencing severe exhaustion during her own years of motherhood, she dedicated her work to helping others restore their energy through targeted nutrition, lifestyle changes, and functional testing. Through her practice, Forest Creek Wellness, she works with women to rebuild resilience and move from survival mode back to true vitality.

This episode reframes burnout entirely. Instead of something to push through or “manage,” it may be a signal from the body that something deeper needs attention. For moms who feel constantly exhausted, overwhelmed, or unlike themselves, this conversation offers both clarity and a path forward.

Charles brings a rare perspective as someone who has raised pigs, studied their history, and built a business around their benefits, both nutritionally and even for skin health.

In this episode, Corey and Christine sit down with Bethany Van Der Harst of Van Der Harst Homestead to talk about trauma, chronic illness, nervous system dysregulation, and the long road of healing. Bethany shares her family’s extraordinary story after her son survived a self-inflicted gunshot wound, lost his sight, later battled COVID, bacterial meningitis, and sepsis, and faced severe neurological and memory challenges that left doctors with few clear answers.

Bethany explains how that journey led her deep into the world of microbiome restoration, nervous system support, ancestral nutrition, sunlight, grounding, rhythm, and what she calls the Ancestral Regeneration Protocol. She shares why she believes so many modern health struggles are rooted in a profound disconnection from nature, and why healing often begins by making the body feel safe again.

✔️ What happened after her son lost his sight and later developed major neurological symptoms

✔️ Why Bethany believes many modern illnesses are rooted in disconnection from nature

✔️ The nutritional strategies she used, including meat stock, ferments, and cultured dairy

✔️ What “die-off” can look like when changing the microbiome

✔️ How sunlight, grounding, rhythm, reverence, and rest support healing

✔️ Bethany’s Ancestral Regeneration Protocol and why she offers it freely to others

🧠 More About This Episode: Bethany Van Der Harst is the founder of Van Der Harst Homestead and the creator of the Ancestral Regeneration Protocol, a free resource and support community focused on helping people rebuild health through ancestral nutrition, nervous system support, and reconnection with nature.

In this episode, Corey and Christine sit down with bioethicist and physician Dr. Aaron Kheriaty to discuss what happened after he challenged COVID vaccine mandates at his university. What began as a debate about workplace policy quickly became a national conversation about medical ethics, informed consent, and the role of public institutions during a public health crisis.

Dr. Kheriaty shares the story of his dismissal from the University of California system after refusing the COVID vaccine mandate on medical and ethical grounds. Drawing from his experience as a psychiatrist and bioethics scholar, he explains why he believed the mandate raised serious concerns about medical autonomy, natural immunity, and the doctor–patient relationship.

This conversation is not about telling people what medical decisions they should make. It is about examining the ethical framework behind modern medicine. What should informed consent actually look like? What role should institutions play in personal medical decisions? And what lessons should we carry forward from the COVID era?

Corey and Christine explore how these questions affect families, parents, and anyone trying to navigate a healthcare system that often feels complex and difficult to question.

📚 Topics Covered in This Episode:

✔️ Dr. Aaron Kheriaty’s story of being fired after challenging a vaccine mandate

✔️ The role of informed consent in modern medicine

✔️ Why natural immunity became a controversial topic during COVID

✔️ How public health policies are developed and enforced

✔️ The ethical questions surrounding medical mandates

✔️ The relationship between physicians, institutions, and patient autonomy

✔️ Why some doctors spoke out during the pandemic

✔️ How the COVID era reshaped public trust in medicine

✔️ What families should consider when navigating medical decisions

✔️ The broader conversation about medical freedom and responsibility

🧠 More About This Episode:

Dr. Aaron Kheriaty is a physician, psychiatrist, and medical ethicist who previously served as Director of the Medical Ethics Program at the University of California, Irvine. During the COVID pandemic, he challenged the university’s vaccine mandate policy and was ultimately dismissed from his position.

His experience sparked a broader discussion about medical mandates, natural immunity, and the balance between public health policy and individual rights. Dr. Kheriaty now continues to write and speak about medical ethics, institutional power, and the lessons learned from the COVID era.

Whether you are a parent making decisions for your family, someone interested in medical ethics, or simply trying to better understand the debates that emerged during the pandemic, this episode offers thoughtful perspective on a complicated moment in recent history.

In this episode, Corey and Christine sit down with Nicole Lamberson and Lynn Cunningham from the film Medicatinɡ Normal to talk about a hidden reality affecting millions of people: psychiatric drug dependence and withdrawal. What begins as a prescription for anxiety, depression, sleep issues, or postpartum struggles can quietly become something much harder to leave behind.

Nicole and Lynn share their personal stories of being prescribed psychiatric medications, the severe withdrawal symptoms they experienced when trying to stop, and why so many patients discover too late that coming off these drugs can be far more complicated than they were told. They also explain how withdrawal symptoms can mimic mental illness, which often leads doctors to increase medications rather than recognize what is happening.

This conversation is not about shaming medication or telling people what choices they should make. It is about informed consent. What should patients actually know before starting psychiatric drugs? Why is tapering off them so difficult for some people? And what questions should families ask before beginning treatment?

If you or someone you love has ever been prescribed antidepressants, anti-anxiety medications, ADHD drugs, or sleep medications, this episode sheds light on a conversation that is only just beginning to reach the public.

📚 Topics Covered in This Episode:

✔️ The real experiences behind the documentary Medicatinɡ Normal

✔️ How psychiatric medications are commonly prescribed and why many people stay on them long term

✔️ Why withdrawal symptoms are often mistaken for a return of mental illness

✔️ What patients are rarely told about dependence and tapering

✔️ How quickly medications can become difficult to stop

✔️ The difference between relapse and withdrawal symptoms

✔️ Why medical training often does not include clear tapering protocols

✔️ The emotional and physical toll withdrawal can take on individuals and families

✔️ What informed consent should look like before starting psychiatric drugs

✔️ Why this issue is affecting more people than most realize

🧠 More About This Episode:

Nicole Lamberson and Lynn Cunningham are patient advocates featured in the documentary Medicatinɡ Normal (https://medicatingnormal.com), a film that explores the growing issue of psychiatric drug injury, dependence, and withdrawal. Through their advocacy work, they aim to raise awareness about the importance of informed consent and to support individuals navigating psychiatric medication withdrawal.

The film brings together patients, doctors, and researchers to examine how psychiatric medications are prescribed, why withdrawal can be so severe for some people, and what changes may be needed in the medical system to better support patients.

Whether you are someone who has taken psychiatric medication, a parent trying to make informed decisions for your family, or simply someone interested in understanding this complex topic more clearly, this episode offers perspective and an important starting point for the conversation.

In this episode, Corey and Christine sit down with holistic pediatrician Dr. Ana-Marie Temple (https://www.dranamaria.com/) to unpack what’s really driving the dramatic rise in childhood eczema. From early antibiotic exposure and gut disruption to food sensitivities, stress, and the cycle of topical steroids, this conversation reframes eczema as a whole-body issue rather than something to simply “manage” on the surface.

Dr. Temple shares her journey as a traditionally trained pediatrician who changed the way she practiced medicine after watching her own children struggle with chronic illness. Together, Corey, Christine, and Dr. Temple explore why so many parents feel dismissed, why “they’ll grow out of it” can be a dangerous narrative, and what it actually looks like to support healing from the inside out without chasing every new remedy or playing “eczema whack-a-mole.”

📚 Topics Covered in This Episode:

✔️ Why eczema is often the first sign of deeper inflammation

✔️ The connection between antibiotics, reflux meds, and eczema in babies

✔️ How gut health, food sensitivities, and sugar impact skin

✔️ Why topical steroids work fast but often don’t resolve the root issue

✔️ The long-term risks of untreated inflammation

✔️ How stress in pregnancy and early childhood affects eczema

✔️ Why many kids don’t truly “outgrow” eczema

✔️ What to do first when eczema shows up

✔️ A realistic, step-by-step approach to healing without overwhelm

✔️ How to bring spouses and skeptical partners on board without power struggles

🧠 More About This Episode: Dr. Ana-Marie Temple is a holistic pediatrician who specializes in identifying the root causes of chronic childhood conditions, especially eczema. In this conversation, she explains why modern approaches often focus on symptom suppression instead of healing, and how parents can create meaningful change through food, lifestyle, and targeted support rather than endless creams and medications.

Whether you’re dealing with infant eczema, recurring flare-ups in older kids, or you’ve been told to “wait it out,” this episode offers clarity, validation, and a hopeful path forward for families who want more than temporary fixes.

What if the “clean beauty” aisle is one of the most misleading places in the entire wellness world? In this episode, Corey and Christine sit down with Emilie Toups, founder of Toups & Co., to talk about what is actually hiding in makeup and skincare, why the word “fragrance” is a massive loophole, and how to simplify your routine without sacrificing healthy, glowing skin.

Emilie shares her origin story of making tallow skincare at home to help her daughter’s severe eczema, what she learned about healing from the inside out, and the 3 ingredients she believes every family should avoid. They also get into teen skincare trends, pregnancy-safe products, and why stress and perfectionism can be more toxic than the occasional less-than-perfect ingredient.

📚 Books Mentioned!

📍 Gut and Psychology Syndrome (GAPS) by Dr. Natasha Campbell-McBride (referenced as part of Emilie's healing journey)

✨ Topics Covered in This Episode:

✔️ The “fragrance” loophole and why it can hide thousands of chemicals

✔️ The top ingredients to avoid: fragrance, parabens, and phthalates

\✔️ Why “clean” and “natural” are not regulated terms

✔️ How to read an ingredient label without getting overwhelmed

✔️ EWG ratings: what’s helpful, what isn’t, and how to use it wisely

✔️ Seed oils in skincare: the nuance between conventional and organic, cold-pressed

✔️ Pregnancy-safe skincare and essential oils, plus why dilution matters

✔️ A simple skincare routine that actually works for busy moms

✔️ Teen acne, hygiene habits, and how to approach makeup without fear

✔️ Why skin issues can be your body’s “last resort” signal that something needs attention

🧠 More About This Episode:

Emilie Toups is the founder of Toups & Co., one of the early non-toxic beauty brands in the US. She started by making tallow skincare in 2013 after her young daughter developed severe eczema, and that journey led her deep into food, gut healing, and ingredient education. In this conversation, Emilie breaks down the greenwashing in modern skincare, explains why ingredient lists are the only thing you can trust, and shares practical ways to clean up your family’s personal care products without spiraling into analysis paralysis. Corey and Christine also talk with Emilie about teens and TikTok skincare culture, what “pregnancy safe” really means, and why a calm, simple approach often wins long-term.

We talk through how our breakfast routines have evolved, how to get kids on board with savory meals, the reality of cooking for picky eaters, the nutritional downsides of carb-heavy starts, and why protein, fat, and prep are your new best friends. If you’ve ever stared into your fridge at 7am wondering "what on earth do I feed these people?"—this one’s for you.

🍳 Topics Covered in This Episode:

✔️ Why breakfast is the most stressful meal for so many moms

✔️ Our personal routines, favorite recipes, and real-life struggles

✔️ How to build a breakfast menu your kids will actually eat

✔️ What a “wake-up snack” is—and why it saves mornings

✔️ Tips for transitioning kids away from sugary cereals

✔️ Why savory breakfasts = better focus and blood sugar

✔️ How cultural breakfasts around the world inspire our meals

✔️ Christine’s protein-packed breakfast rotation (with soup!)

✔️ The hormone and blood sugar effects of drinking coffee on an empty stomach

✔️ How to set realistic boundaries around morning snacking

🧠 More About This Series: Back in 2022, we recorded a full “What CAN I Eat For…” series—breakfast, lunch, dinner, snacks, desserts, and drinks. Those episodes have remained some of our most downloaded ever. So we’re re-recording them with better audio, updated tips, and the wisdom we’ve gathered since then—starting with the meal that sets the tone for the day: breakfast.

In this powerful and nuanced episode, Corey and Christine are joined by Dr. Nina Marie Rueda — a naturopathic doctor, doula, lactation educator, and mother. They dive into the conversation of vaccines and discuss: ingredients, efficacy of studies, risk vs. benefit, informed consent, and so much more. The hosts understand this is a delicate subject and ask all listeners to be respectful and listen with an open mind.
