The Made to Thrive Show

Dr. Stephanie Rimka paints a bleak picture of why babies born into the modern, urban world are swimming against the current from day one. 350 chemicals in their bodies. Protein bars and pesticides. Microplastics.  Digital dementia. All of this leading to dysregulated nervous systems and anxiety soaked brains. We have to do something. And that’s what Dr Rimka is doing - spread the message, educate the masses and do something to save our kids and the generations to come.
As founder and CEO of Brain and Body Solutions, Dr. Stephanie Rimka, BA, DC, BCN is a nationally board-certified Doctor of Chiropractic and Board-Certified Neurofeedback Therapist with over two decades of experience helping individuals optimize brain function, metabolic health, and overall performance.

From super gut to super body. One of my favorite guests, Dr William Davis, is back on the podcast to explain why our microbiome is inextricably linked to the body.

Are we progressing in health and wellness? Or is so much of what we are looking for in the simplicity of the past and the design of nature? We live in a complex and messy and yes toxic world, so what do we do about it? Today I talk to Dr Tom Cowan again, a man who himself says he can’t believe the things he is saying now after spending the last decades dissecting scientific and medical claims taken as dogma.
Dr Tom Cowan is a well-known alternative medicine doctor, author, and speaker, with a common-sense, holistic approach to health and wellness. He has given countless lectures and workshops throughout the U.S. on a variety of subjects in health and medicine and is the author of six books. Recent publications include “The Contagion Myth,” co-authored by Sally Fallon Morell, “Cancer and the New Biology of Water” and “Human Heart, Cosmic Heart.”

Are you living fake freedom? One of my biggest realizations with productivity expert Dr Ann Tsung was that - many of us are stuck in stage 3 of the time freedom cycle and treading water in fake time freedom. The question then is - how do we escape it and start living a life of more freedom and more flow and what are the habits, the values, the mindset and the tools we can employ to become time transcenders. 

Ann Tsung MD is a NASA Flight Surgeon, Critical Care/Emergency Medicine physician, peak performance/productivity coach at Productivity MD, real estate investor, podcast show host of Productivity MD, and a mother of a 19-month-old. With a unique fusion of medical precision and entrepreneurial success, she guides top physician entrepreneurs to unlock over 10 hours a week, master their mindset, scale their businesses, and achieve unparalleled freedom and leadership excellence.
