Food, Faith & Epigenetics: Practical Plant-Based Steps to Prevent Chronic Disease with Dr. Amanda Adkins
In this episode of Healthy Waves, Dr. Amanda Adkins—double-board certified in internal and lifestyle medicine with a certificate in plant-based nutrition—breaks down practical, evidence-based steps women can use to reduce risk of diabetes, hypertension and chronic inflammation. We cover high-impact foods (leafy greens, beans, whole-food plants), simple habit swaps for busy caregivers, how to avoid restriction cycles, and how lifestyle choices influence gene expression (epigenetics). If you want clear, scalable strategies that combine science and faith for long-term health, this episode delivers actionable guidance you can start this week. About the guest: Dr. Amanda Adkins is a lifestyle medicine physician and health strategist who helps women prevent — and sometimes reverse — chronic conditions through plant-forward nutrition, movement, sleep and stress management. She blends clinical evidence with spiritual grounding to create sustainable, habit-based care. Key takeaways: Prioritize leafy greens daily: they supply nitrates and antioxidants that support vascular health and blood pressure control. Add beans and legumes for fiber to stabilise blood glucose — plant protein and fibre lower insulin resistance. Reduce saturated fat and refined carbs; most benefits come from adding whole plants rather than punitive restriction. When pressed for time, choose fresh, pre-made foods cautiously: check ingredients for added sugar, salt, and fats. Build habits by adding before subtracting — introduce plant foods first, then crowd out less healthy options to avoid restriction cycles. Measure health with function metrics (energy, BP, sleep) rather than only scale weight to prevent shame and perfectionism. Protein concerns on plant diets are typically overstated — most people meet needs via beans, lentils, nuts and whole grains. Epigenetics: genes are a deck of cards — lifestyle (diet, sleep, stress, movement) helps “play the hand” differently and can reduce disease risk. Self-care is not selfish: short, consistent investment in rest, food prep, and movement improves long-term capacity to care for others. Small, repeatable keystone habits + tracking two feel/function metrics yield sustainable improvement vs big, short-term overhauls.

Wellness, Resilience, and Building a Business That Loves You Back with Kelly Lorenzen
On Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, Avik speaks with Kelly Lorenzen—award-winning entrepreneur and CEO of KLM Consulting—about sustainable entrepreneurship. Kelly unpacks practical systems for avoiding burnout, her CODA method for delegation, the role of community, and why health must sit at the center of every founder’s strategy. She also shares how navigating breast cancer clarified her definition of success and pushed her to create businesses that serve life, not consume it. This focused conversation gives founders concrete steps to reclaim time, protect well-being, and scale with intention. About the guest : Kelly Lorenzen is the CEO of KLM Consulting (DuplicateMyselfKLM.com), a marketing and management firm helping small businesses grow sustainably. With 20+ years of ownership experience, a degree in Entrepreneurship & Communications from Arizona State, and a PMP certification, Kelly is a breast-cancer survivor, philanthropist, and mentor committed to founder health, community, and systems that scale. Key takeaways: Resilience is built, not born: repetitive “recover and re-tool” cycles created capacity to withstand shocks. Mindset interrupt: quickly redirect negative spirals to neutral or positive action to prevent cognitive tailspins during crises. CODA for workload clarity:K = Keep only tasks only you can do; O = Outsource expert work (tax, marketing); D = Delegate five- to ten-minute tasks; A = Automate repeatables. Health first, always: preventive care and daily self-care are strategic levers, not luxuries. Community is a safety net: mentors, peers, and teams function like “insurance” when life hits. Redefine success: choose wise ambition—business should sustain your life, not replace it. Service fuels leadership: philanthropy and giving back restore meaning and reduce isolation. Practical next steps: brain-dump tasks, tag with CODA, book your overdue health check, and schedule one weekly connection that isn’t about sales.

Threshold Alchemy: Turning Life Transitions into Purpose with Kyra Faison Gardner
On Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik Chakraborty speaks with Kyra Faison Gardner—certified transformational life & retirement coach, author of Who Do You Think You Are?, and founder of Prospect & Refuge Life—about “threshold alchemy”: using life transitions (midlife shifts, retirement, loss, reinvention) to create purpose. Kyra unpacks practical rituals (silence at sunrise, gratitude journaling, mindful community) and a direct message: you don’t need permission to change direction. This episode is built for listeners seeking midlife reinvention, post-career identity, spiritual grounding, and daily practices that stick. About the Guest: Kyra Faison Gardner is a transformational life & retirement coach and author of Who Do You Think You Are? After more than 20 years as a founder/CEO—and rebuilding after a devastating house fire—she now helps people in their second and third acts redesign life with intention through Prospect & Refuge Life. Key Takeaways: Threshold alchemy defined: transform uncertain life stages into meaningful new chapters by reframing identity beyond roles and titles. Identity ≠ job: you are not your career, marital status, or parental role; reinvention starts when you expand who you believe you are. Rituals over routines: morning silence, sunrise, brief meditation, and gratitude journaling stabilize mood and sharpen purpose. Body-markers for intention: simple anchors (remove shoes, anoint hands/feet, light a candle) signal your nervous system it’s time to focus. Community matters: find cohorts or circles that see your current self and support who you’re becoming. Permission slip: you already have permission to be happy, change your mind, and pursue long-delayed curiosities. Spiritual flexibility: you don’t need the “right” label for the sacred; name it how it resonates and keep going. Micro-choices win: small, repeatable acts (feed the birds, a poem, one page of writing) accumulate into identity change. From trauma to truth: healing isn’t linear; honest writing and coaching help you share without losing peace. Aging as expansion: retirement and midlife aren’t endings—they’re invitations to create, learn, and serve.

Spirit–Soul–Body Alignment, the “Armor Principle,” and the 3 Cs of Purpose with Caleb Matthews
On Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik Chakraborty sits down with Caleb Matthews—founder of SeeLink, dream interpreter, and spiritual strategist—to break down his SSB method (Spirit–Soul–Body) and the 3 Cs (Contract, Construct, Conform). We discuss why alignment starts in the spirit, how to avoid wearing someone else’s “armor,” and practical ways to translate dreams into strategy. If you’ve felt overstimulated and under-centered, this episode gives a direct framework to regain sovereignty over your inner house and lead from design, not pressure. About the guest: Caleb Matthews is a seer-strategist and founder of SeeLink. For 20+ years he’s helped people decode their DNA of design through dream work, spiritual alignment, and practical action. He teaches the SSB framework and the “armor principle”—leading from your unique design rather than conforming to trends. Key takeaways: SSB first principles: Start alignment from the spirit, renew the mind (soul), then embody through the body—not the other way around. Armor principle: Don’t wear someone else’s “armor.” Borrow tactics; keep your birthright design. 3 Cs framework: Contract: Make conscious agreements—with God/higher power and with yourself—about who you are and what you serve. Construct: Build systems and routines that fit your wiring. (Don’t) Conform: Resist peer-pressure and culture’s “con job” to be a copy. Census of the senses: Regularly audit what you see, hear, speak, consume; curating inputs is a spiritual discipline. Dreams as data: Everyone dreams; keep a bedside dream journal and translate symbols into next actions. First step from numbness:Pause, set your mind “on things above,” and re-enter the day from an inner sanctuary. Healthy leadership: Purpose emerges when you live from design, not when you chase balance. One actionable move today: Write or rewrite your core contract (values, non-negotiables, callings) and decline agreements that dilute it.

Horses as Healers: Nervous System Regulation, Trauma Release & Identity Rebuild with Kasia Bukowska
On Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik Chakraborty speaks with Kasia Bukowska—an equine therapist, artist, and mindset mentor—about how horses act as living mirrors for our emotions. Kasia shares her journey from a lupus diagnosis and doctors saying she’d never ride again to regulating her nervous system, rebuilding identity, and teaching connection-first horsemanship. We cover equine-assisted healing, reading energy over “technique,” creating psychological safety with animals, and practical ways non-riders can cultivate grounded presence. About the guest Kasia Bukowska is an internationally recognized equine therapist, artist, and mindset mentor. Featured in Sidelines, Horse Illustrated, and on the cover of Barefoot Horse, she blends energy work, emotional awareness, and creative expression to help people release blocks, regulate their nervous systems, and reconnect with authentic self-trust—partnering with horses as teachers. Key takeaways: Horses mirror our internal state; they respond to our truth, not our masks, making them powerful partners for nervous system regulation and trauma healing. Connection and energetic safety outperform rigid “technique.” When pressure and performance drop, curiosity and learning rise—for both human and horse. A slower equine heart rate and calm presence entrain us toward steadier breath and body; co-regulation creates conditions for change. Identity work is central: Kasia’s healing moved from “riding again” to valuing herself beyond achievement, borrowing her horses’ unconditional regard as a bridge to self-worth. Practical start for non-riders: observe animals (even pets) without agenda; notice emotional reactions, breathe, and let insight arise. Presence > control. With dysregulated horses (or people), build safety first: create a protected space, invite play and novelty (e.g., props), reward curiosity, and allow movement to discharge energy. Progress collapses when expectations harden; staying playful, flexible, and patient maintains trust and results. Feeling “stuck” isn’t failure—it’s a precursor to clarity. Fully feeling emotions can open space for creative solutions and next steps.

Healing Through Movement: Nervous System Regulation & Spiritual Growth with Rachel Lundberg
In this episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik Chakraborty sits down with Rachel Lundberg, a movement educator, chronic illness survivor, and founder of Yoga Oak University. Rachel shares her transformative journey from ballet and modern dance to creating a global yoga education platform. Together, they explore how mindful movement, breathwork, and alignment-based yoga can regulate the nervous system, release emotional tension, and support holistic well-being. Whether you are new to yoga or a seasoned practitioner, Rachel offers practical insights into using movement as a tool for emotional, mental, and spiritual growth. Learn how simple breath practices and conscious movement can unlock deep healing and reconnect you with your authentic self. About the Guest:Rachel Lundberg is a movement educator and founder of Yoga Oak University. A chronic illness survivor and truth-seeker, Rachel combines anatomy, neuroscience, and spirituality in her alignment-based yoga specialist certification programs. She is dedicated to helping individuals and healthcare providers harness the power of mindful movement for emotional, mental, and spiritual well-being. Key Takeaways: Movement is more than physical exercise; it is a tool for emotional and spiritual processing. Breath regulates the nervous system: inhalation activates sympathetic (fight or flight) responses; exhalation engages parasympathetic (rest and reset) responses. Simple daily practices, like conscious breath and mindful movement, can down-regulate stress and anxiety. Awareness of the body’s state—activated, frozen, or depressed—guides personalized practices for healing. Sensory engagement (touch, sound, sight) can help shift energy and increase presence in the moment. Regulation doesn’t require advanced yoga; even one mindful movement or one conscious breath can initiate healing. The ABC technique (Acknowledge, Breathe, Connect) helps identify bodily sensations and guide nervous system regulation.

Finding Your Voice: Breaking Free from Silence to Connect Authentically with Racheal Blackmore
In this insightful episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, Avik Chakraborty sits down with Racheal Blackmore, a certified interrogator, journalist, and former editor-in-chief, to explore the journey from invisibility to authentic self-expression. Racheal shares her personal story of surviving abuse, losing her voice while helping others find theirs, and the slow, transformative process of reclaiming her visibility. This conversation uncovers the challenges heart-led entrepreneurs face in showing up authentically, the impact of trauma on self-expression, and practical steps to confidently share your story while connecting deeply with your audience. About the Guest: Racheal Blackmore is a certified interrogator, trained journalist, and former editor-in-chief with over 14 years of experience helping creators uncover their truths through storytelling. After surviving abuse and losing her own voice, Racheal now empowers entrepreneurs and creators to break free from silence, claim their authenticity, and communicate in ways that create real connection and impact. Key Takeaways: Racheal's journey highlights how trauma can teach us to disappear, making invisibility a form of self-protection. Heart-led entrepreneurs often struggle with visibility not due to strategy, but due to nervous system responses rooted in fear of being seen. Working behind the scenes—ghostwriting, scripting, or following templates—can feel safe but may hinder personal growth and impact. Healing and authentic visibility are gradual processes that require listening to your body, honoring micro-moments, and safely stepping into self-expression. Racheal's “Connect Method” emphasizes starting with recognition of self and others’ journeys as the foundation for meaningful connection. The episode challenges listeners to distinguish between using their presence as a shield versus as a service.

Finding Job-Search Joy: Turn Anxiety into Momentum with Jade Arthur
On this episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik Chakraborty talks with Jade Arthur, a language & mindset coach who teaches job seekers in gaming how to reclaim joy during the job hunt. Instead of treating joy as a reward after success, Jade explains practical ways to gamify the process, name and dismantle the fears that stall progress, and use precise language to communicate value. Listen to learn how small rituals, creative reframing, and clearer self-branding make candidates more resilient, authentic, and magnetic in interviews and networking. Ideal for mid-career changers, international job seekers, and anyone stuck in career-search anxiety. About the Guest : Jade Arthur is a Language & Mindset Coach for job seekers in the gaming industry. She blends expert English instruction with mindset coaching and is the creator of Job Search Joy, a program that gamifies job-search obstacles into “villains” (e.g., Cover Letter Crusher) to make progress concrete, creative, and sustainable. Key Takeaways: Joy is a practice, not a finish line — cultivate small, repeatable moments of progress during the job search. Reframe the job hunt as a game: name obstacles (villains) so they become actionable problems to solve. Identify the underlying fear driving frustration (rejection, scarcity, uncertainty) and intentionally work through it. Language matters: more specific questions and descriptions reveal unique value and improve self-branding. Joy fuels productivity — energy and authenticity become persuasive qualifications in interviews. Use creativity to convert repetitive tasks into momentum builders that produce micro-wins and resilience. Spotlighting others (helpful posts) expands network goodwill and shows value without asking directly for a job. Distinguish joy from forced positivity; aim for chosen, constructive reframing rather than superficial optimism. For sustained wellbeing, combine practical supports (medication or therapy when needed) with creative strategies. Post-pandemic job searching requires new tools and updated self-presentation — specify your niche and skills.
