This week, I’m joined by Dr. Felice Chan, a Chinese medicine doctor who bridges Eastern and Western approaches to healing after years studying allopathic medicine including shadowing an oncology neurosurgeon and working at Boston Children’s Hospital. We dive into the fascinating contrasts between healthcare in Hong Kong and the U.S., the 5,000-year misunderstanding around acupuncture, and how our gut health connects to anxiety, depression, and even our skin. Dr. Chan shares practical, science-backed tips to reduce bloating, support digestion, curb sugar cravings, and shift your mindset around food—plus her honest takes on popular health trends like intermittent fasting and cold plunging. We also get into cosmetic acupuncture, what not to do on your period, how emotions manifest physically, and how to “eat your skincare” by nourishing your blood and creating a vibrant, resilient body from the inside out.

Anastasia is an entrepreneur (founder of Anastasia Beverly Hills) and author of Raising Brows: My Story of Building a Billion Dollar Beauty Empire. From watching Oprah in Romania without speaking a word of English to eventually calling her a friend—and doing her brows—Anastasia Soare’s story is the definition of the American dream. In this episode, we go deep into how she created an entire beauty category, built a global brand from scratch, and what she learned along the way. Anastasia shares how she went from working in a Melrose Place salon to shaping the faces of icons like Cindy Crawford, Michelle Pfeiffer, and Naomi Campbell, and the mindset that helped her persevere through countless “no’s.” We also talk about the biggest misconceptions about entrepreneurship, how to make calculated mistakes, and the habits that keep her grounded. Plus, she reveals what’s really in her beauty bag, her go-to skincare and makeup hacks, and her honest thoughts on microblading.

This week I’m joined by Joe Holder: performance specialist, Nike Master Trainer, and wellness educator who’s worked with everyone from Victoria’s Secret models to elite athletes, for a conversation that will completely reframe how you think about health and fitness. We get into why workouts don’t always need to be so hard (and how training too intensely can actually make you look and feel worse), the real reason women sometimes get “puffy” from exercise, and how applying a “dose mentality” can optimize results without obsession. Joe breaks down the importance of recovery, why the HIIT revolution did more harm than good, and how physical resiliency builds mental toughness. We also dive into the psychology of wellness including orthorexia, body dysmorphia, and how to pursue health without letting it consume you—plus intuitive eating, carb cycling, and his simple, grounded hacks for starting the day with presence and balance.
