#244 I Lost My Voice for 3 Days - Here’s What It Taught Me | Claudia von Boeselager
25/03/2026 | 10 mins.
In this personal solo episode, Claudia shares a powerful and unexpected experience - losing her voice completely for three days. What initially felt frustrating became a profound reminder of how the body communicates when we’re moving too fast. In this reflective conversation, Claudia explores the deeper meaning behind forced silence and what it taught her about listening, slowing down, and reconnecting with our inner signals.
In this episode we explore: • What losing her voice revealed about stress and overextension • Why the body often speaks before burnout appears • The hidden intelligence of the body and how it communicates with us • The power of silence and stillness in a hyper-stimulated world • How to start listening more carefully to your body’s signals
This episode is an invitation to slow down, reflect, and reconnect with the wisdom already within you.
#243 Dr. Meenal Agarwal - The Eye-Brain Connection, Screen-Induced Vision Loss & Spatial Awareness: How Modern Life Is Rewiring Your Brain
18/03/2026 | 47 mins.
What if your vision was telling you far more about your health than you realized?
In this fascinating episode, Dr. Meenal Agarwal, board-certified optometrist, spatial awareness expert, and authority on the eye–brain connection, reveals how vision is not just about eyesight - it’s a direct reflection of brain function, nervous system state, and emotional health. Blending clinical science, neuroscience, mindfulness, and compassion, Dr. Agarwal explains how stress, trauma, and chronic overload subtly alter how we see the world - and how retraining vision can support healing, resilience, and longevity. From spatial awareness to visual processing, this conversation reframes vision as an active brain skill and a powerful portal into whole-body wellbeing. We explore: The eye–brain connection and nervous system regulation How stress and trauma show up in vision Spatial awareness and its role in balance, safety & longevity Why vision is a brain function, not just an eye issue How mindful vision practices can support healing and clarity
This episode invites you to see differently - both literally and metaphorically.
#242 Olga Kaplan — Sacred Sexuality, BDSM, Trauma Healing & Intimacy: Reclaiming Pleasure, Power & Emotional Safety
12/03/2026 | 1h 4 mins.
What if desire isn’t indulgence - but your life force? In this deeply embodied conversation, intimacy and sacred sexuality coach Olga Kaplan returns to explore how trauma lives in the body, why intimacy is about presence, and how conscious kink and BDSM can be used therapeutically for healing. We explore: • What intimacy truly means (deep presence with yourself and another) • Tantra as weaving life experiences into embodied aliveness • The difference between kink, BDSM and trauma-informed practice • Why trauma is not the event — but what happened without consent • How impact play, consent and role dynamics can help rewire the nervous system • Why libido is a powerful biomarker of health and vitality • The “sex recession” and why younger generations are disconnecting • Practical tools: breath, sound, movement & energetic hygiene • How long-term couples can revive polarity, play and desire This episode is about reclaiming your body, your pleasure, your vitality — and remembering that your desire is not shameful, it’s sacred.
#241 Dr. Chris Davis & LUMARA Collective - The Real Cause of Heart Aging: Oxidative Stress, Nitric Oxide & Vascular Health
04/03/2026 | 1h 9 mins.
What if “heart health” isn’t about managing numbers… but fixing what’s driving vascular aging in the first place?
In this episode, triple board-certified cardiologist Dr. Chris Davis joins Claudia (with Lumara co-founders Ashley Madsen and Alexandra Cochrane) to unpack a modern, prevention-first approach to cardiovascular longevity.
We explore:
Why conventional cardiology often becomes a “revolving door” of repeat events and procedures The “getting rusty inside” explanation of oxidative + nitrosative stress (and what it does to your arteries) How nitric oxide signaling influences vascular function, performance, and aging Why Lp(a) is trending, what matters now, and how to think about outcomes vs numbers Why coronary imaging (calcium and plaque assessment) can remove the guesswork How toxins, membranes, and mitochondria connect to cardiometabolic decline The emerging frontier: membrane medicine + mitochondrial support (including peptide discussion) Practical levers you can start with: Zone 2, environment upgrades, and reducing daily toxin load
This is a high-signal conversation for anyone who wants to measure what matters, reduce risk upstream, and build a stronger, longer healthspan.
#240 Dr. Louise Hecker — Can Psilocybin Slow Aging? The First Study on Telomeres, Cellular Longevity & Systemic Anti-Aging
25/02/2026 | 46 mins.
What if psilocybin wasn’t just a mental health breakthrough — but a longevity intervention?
In this powerful, science-driven conversation, Dr. Louise Hecker shares groundbreaking research exploring how psilocybin’s active metabolite, psilocin, may influence the fundamental biology of aging.
We explore:
• How psilocybin impacts cellular senescence, one of the key drivers of aging • The surprising effects on oxidative stress and antioxidant pathways • What happened to telomere length in aging cell models • Why serotonin (5-HT) receptors exist throughout the body — not just the brain • The dramatic survival results in aged mice given monthly high-dose psilocybin • Why psychedelic research was stalled for decades — and what’s changing now • The potential role of psilocybin as a future geroprotective agent
This episode moves beyond hype and into mechanism — exploring how psychedelics may influence healthspan at the cellular and systemic level.
A fascinating look at how a once-misunderstood compound could reshape preventative medicine and aging science.
