This episode explores the wisdom of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and its holistic approach to addressing PCOS with Jiaming Ju, founder of Kun Health. Drawing from her family’s legacy in TCM and a career in economic policy focused on longevity, Jiaming shares her journey into the world of personalized Chinese medicine.
We discuss TCM’s foundational principles, including the balance of Qi (energy), and how this impacts chronic illnesses like PCOS. Jiaming explains how TCM views PCOS not as a singular condition but as a combination of imbalances, such as Kidney deficiency and Spleen dampness. She offers insights into how TCM approaches symptoms like irregular periods, cystic ovaries, and elevated testosterone differently from conventional medicine.
The conversation covers the mind-body connection, exploring how emotional factors like stress and repression contribute to PCOS, and the concept of Liver Qi stagnation in hormone regulation. Jiaming also shares the diagnostic tools unique to TCM, such as tongue and pulse analysis, and how digestion, skin, and hair can reveal deeper health issues.
This conversation offers an in-depth look at how Traditional Chinese Medicine can help women achieve balance, address PCOS symptoms at their root, and reclaim their health.

In this powerful episode, I sit down with Sarah Schmidt—a thought leader, podcast host, mother, cancer survivor, clinical psychologist, and wellness venture capitalist—to explore her incredible journey of resilience and growth. Sarah’s story is one of transformation, healing, and the courage to embrace authenticity. Diagnosed with cancer at the young age of 20, she shares how suppressing her needs for love and attention impacted her health and led her on a journey of self-discovery. Her experiences offer valuable insights into navigating life's toughest challenges and finding purpose in the face of adversity.
We delve into topics that will resonate with anyone on a journey of self-healing, including the expectations we place on family, especially parents, and the often unspoken disappointment that arises when we realize they aren’t perfect. We also discuss her experience coming out to her family, especially within a Catholic background, and the courage it took to seek acceptance and love on her own terms.
Sarah speaks to the importance of community and interdependence, emphasizing that we’re not meant to carry our burdens alone. But what if you truly are alone, without family or close support? Sarah offers compassionate guidance on how to find a supportive community, even when starting from scratch, reminding us that connection is fundamental to healing and personal fulfillment.

In this solo episode, I’m diving into the topic of staying grounded during election season. With tensions running high and the stakes feeling bigger than ever, it’s so easy to get caught up in the stress and anxiety of it all. I’ll be sharing some practical, compassionate strategies for protecting your peace—like setting limits on media, grounding yourself in daily practices, and creating a “reset” routine for those moments when emotions run high.
And here’s the reminder I’m bringing: no matter the outcome, you hold the reins over your own life. This election may shape the nation, but it doesn’t define your personal path. Join me for an empowering conversation on staying centered, finding calm amidst the noise, and remembering your resilience.

Garret Kramer is the author of True Self, The Path of No Resistance, and Stillpower. For nearly three decades, he has provided consulting services for athletes, coaches, actors, and business leaders as well as conducted workshops, daylong symposiums, and retreats for teams, organizations, and schools. Having introduced the direct path of self-exploration to the high-performance community, Garret is now sharing with global audiences his unique take on the Consciousness-only model and its implications for a more harmonious world. He lives in New Jersey with his family.
In this conversation, we explore how the understanding of non-duality shifts the approach to performance, success, and overall well-being. Diving deep into the fundamental question of "Who are you?", they discuss the limitations of traditional coaching and therapy, which often focus on feelings rather than helping individuals uncover their true selves.
I share a bit of my personal journey of shedding labels and societal expectations, opening up about how 2020 forced me to let go of external definitions and confront my core identity. Together, we question why mainstream approaches often fall short in addressing the root causes of suffering and explore the nature of emotional triggers and personal responsibility.
Garret emphasizes the distinction between feelings and identity, challenging the common belief that emotions like anxiety define who we are. They also touch on physical health, with Garret urging people to trust their intuition and resist outsourcing their well-being to so-called experts.
In a world obsessed with individual achievement, Garret and I discuss how the illusion of separateness keeps people stuck in the cycle of self-betterment and external validation. Through the lens of non-duality, we explore the path to inner peace and moral behavior, highlighting the importance of thinking for oneself in a society that often follows the herd.
Whether you’re seeking to understand yourself on a deeper level or looking to break free from societal conditioning, this episode offers powerful insights into the nature of the self, healing, and the pursuit of happiness.

In this episode, I’m joined by Mike Feldstein, founder of Jaspr and a true expert in air quality. With a background in wildfire restoration and air quality consulting, Mike transformed his knowledge into creating one of the most advanced air purifiers on the market. We dive into his journey from a business school dropout to launching Jaspr, a company that’s changing the game for indoor air quality.
We explore the importance of air quality in today’s homes, diving into why HVAC systems are like the lungs of our living spaces, and how modern building practices might be contributing to poor air quality without us even realizing it. Mike breaks down some eye-opening statistics about indoor versus outdoor air pollution and explains how poor air quality affects our health, from sleep to long-term well-being—especially in vulnerable populations like children and the elderly.

I dive deep into the illusion of safety behind FDA approvals and doctor recommendations. I unpack the shocking reality that the FDA, the very agency tasked with protecting public health, is often funded by the same conglomerates it’s supposed to regulate. From fast-tracked pharmaceuticals to harmful food additives like aspartame and glyphosate, I reveal how corporate interests and profit often overshadow genuine concern for our well-being. Exploring conflicts of interest embedded within the system, like the opioid crisis, I challenge the notion that “doctor-recommended” always means safe. I urge you to become your own health advocate, question the system, and reconnect with nature to truly reclaim your health. This episode is a must-listen for anyone ready to break free from blind trust in labels and take control of their wellness journey.
