  • E259 Unlocking the Body: Fascia, Recovery, and the Future of Healing with Chris Duffin
    Mar 26 2026

    Chris Duffin is back—and this one goes deep.

    We’re talking about the stuff that actually moves the needle when it comes to your body, your recovery, and how you feel day to day.

    Shockwave therapy.
    Red light therapy.
    TENS units.
    And the real conversation most people aren’t having—fascia.

    Because fascia isn’t just about mobility…
    It’s connected to cellulite, injury recovery, chronic pain, and even cardiovascular health.

    If you’ve ever wondered why your body holds tension, why some injuries won’t fully heal, or why certain therapies seem to work for some people and not others—this episode connects the dots.

    We break down:

    • What fascia actually is (and why it matters more than you think)
    • How shockwave and red light therapy impact tissue at a deeper level
    • The role of electrical stimulation (TENS) in recovery and pain
    • Why cellulite might be more than just a cosmetic issue
    • How all of this ties into long-term health—including heart function

    No fluff. No surface-level takes.
    Just real conversation about how to understand your body—and actually take care of it.

    If you’re serious about performance, recovery, or just not feeling like crap in your own skin… this one’s worth your time.

  • E258 Instant Relief
    Mar 19 2026

    In this episode, Michaela sits down with entrepreneur Mike Hammond, founder of Signal Relief and a longtime startup builder who has launched several companies across industries. Hammond shares the unusual origin story behind the Signal Relief patch—a drug-free device developed after engineers working in radio and antenna technology discovered that a specialized antenna pattern could interact with the body’s electrical fields and potentially reduce pain signals.

    The conversation explores Hammond’s entrepreneurial journey, his belief in non-pharmaceutical approaches to pain management, and the science claims behind the product, including theories about electrical signaling and the body’s internal water charge. Michaela brings a clinician’s lens to the discussion, asking practical questions about how the technology is supposed to work, what evidence exists, and where skepticism is warranted.

    The episode also includes Michaela’s candid reflections on whether the product actually works in real-world use—balancing curiosity with critical thinking as she weighs anecdotal testimonials against scientific validation. The result is a thoughtful conversation about innovation, wellness products, and the challenge of separating genuine breakthroughs from hype in the health marketplace.

  • E253 Success Mindset — What Aviation & Publishing Teach You About Life
    Jan 29 2026

    Dr. Michaela welcomes Adam Witty, founder + CEO of Forbes Books, for a conversation that blends publishing, purpose, and aviation (because apparently the coolest people do both).

    Adam shares how he fell into the world of books through a summer internship that sparked a lifelong obsession with storytelling—and why he believes literature has the power to genuinely change lives.

    Then… we shift into the cockpit.

    Adam talks about how a friend’s encouragement nudged him into getting his pilot’s license—and how flying has become a major part of both his business travel and personal life.

    Together, they unpack the parallels between flying and living, including:

    The power of preparation
    Why proficiency matters
    How staying calm in an emergency isn’t a personality trait… it’s a practiced skill

    Adam also drops a great reminder using the windshield vs. rearview mirror analogy—encouraging listeners to stop living in the past and start focusing on what’s ahead.

    Because the windshield is bigger for a reason.

    Key Areas
    • The behind-the-scenes world of modern publishing
    • What separates a dreamer from a finisher
    • Why aviation teaches focus, clarity, and emotional control
    • How to keep your cool when life gets turbulent
    • Why forward motion matters more than perfect conditions
    If you’re into books, aviation, and business growth—these are the life lessons that hit different because they’re real.

    Thinking of publishing your life story, big idea, or message? Consider Forbes Books—a leader in authority branding and bringing powerful concepts to life.
