• #452: Reclaiming Health in a System Built to Keep You Sick with Brian Sanders

  In this episode, Mark Groves dives deep into the intersection of health, personal sovereignty, and systemic deception with Brian Sanders, founder of the Sapien Center and creator of the "Food Lies" documentary series. Together, they peel back the layers of societal conditioning around nutrition, medicine, and authority—challenging the legitimacy of mainstream narratives about health, pharmaceutical intervention, and government control. Mark and Brian share personal awakenings that led them to reject hollow paradigms—from the food pyramid to pharma-driven healthcare—in favor of a return to foundational, ancestral principles of nourishment, movement, nature, and authentic community. With compelling anecdotes, sharp insights, and a powerful call to reclaim individual agency, this conversation is a radical invitation to question everything and live more intentionally, rooted in what it truly means to be human.Brian Sanders is the filmmaker behind the Food Lies documentary, host of the top 5 nutrition podcast Peak Human, and an international speaker. He graduated from UCLA with a degree in Mechanical Engineering. He’s the founder of Sapien Center, a popular health club in Austin.

  In this episode, Mark sits down with Ashleigh Di Lello for a jaw-dropping conversation about the power of the nervous system, the mind-body connection, and what it really takes to heal from the inside out. Ashleigh shares her extraordinary journey—from being told she wouldn’t live past her teens, to becoming a world-class dancer, to fighting through chronic pain and nearly losing her life again. What brought her back wasn’t medicine—it was rewiring her brain, facing unresolved trauma, and stepping into radical self-trust.

This one is raw, inspiring, and a masterclass in turning pain into purpose.Ashleigh Di Lello is the founder and creator of Bio Emotional Healing®, a revolutionary method based in neuroscience that helps her clients around the world finally break free from emotional trauma, limiting beliefs, anxiety, and the effects of chronic pain and illness.

• #449: Why Avoidant partners NEED you to LEAVE them

  In this solo episode, I dive into the complicated dance between anxious and avoidant attachment styles—and why, sometimes, avoidant people actually need you to leave for real growth to happen. I unpack how chasing someone who’s always got one foot out the door pulls you out of alignment with yourself, and how the true healing starts when you stop over-functioning and learn to stand still. With personal stories (yes, even my not-so-great stick figure drawings), I share what it means to stop colluding with emotional unavailability and start building self-trust. This episode is a straight-up call to honor your nervous system, set boundaries that actually mean something, and break free from the anxious-avoidant loop that’s been draining your soul.Resources:—Learn the connection between Attachment Styles, how it affects the Nervous System, AND how you can heal it: .https://go.markgroves.com/nervous-system-opt-in-podcast —Join My Online Community: http://markgroves.com/community    —Get My New Book!
