Ep. 161 In this solo episode, I take you through my life story, from my childhood to where I am today. I reflect on key moments—like moving to America, struggling with self-harm, and overcoming mental health challenges—that shaped the person I am now. I also share the transformative journey of losing 90 lbs, starting a fitness business, and how I turned pain into passion to fuel my purpose. Through the highs and lows, I’ve learned valuable lessons that have been integral to my growth, confidence, and the life I’m building now.

With 18 years of experience in western medicine, Kim is one of the few experts boldly tackling this often-ignored topic, shedding light on the 95% of people who may unknowingly be living with parasites. We discuss the symptoms, causes, and how to cleanse your body, along with tips on water purification, food safety, and holistic therapies.

Ep. # 152 On today’s Pursuit of Wellness, we’re joined by Michelle Serna, aka "Broke Ass Horse Girl" on TikTok. Michelle takes us through her journey, from growing up in a horse-loving family to becoming a go-to resource for all things horse care and riding. She opens up about the chaos of life with horses, dogs, and a massive trailer, while staying true to her no-filter approach to content creation. In this episode, we dive into everything from horse care and training to navigating grief and embracing life unapologetically. Whether you're passionate about horses, CrossFit, or just looking for real talk, Michelle's story is packed with wisdom and authenticity you won't want to miss.

Ep. 149 On today’s episode of Pursuit of Wellness, I sit down with Dr. Marty Makary, a healthcare advocate, surgeon, and New York Times best-selling author, to dissect the complex web of our current healthcare system and its impact on everyday health. Dr. Marty pulls back the curtain on major blind spots in healthcare, from women's health to food safety issues like food dyes and seed oils in baby formula. We dive into the powerful effects of chronic illness and lifestyle choices, discussing the influence of school lunch programs, hormone disruptors, and the hidden dangers of ultra-processed foods. Dr. Marty also shares how cultural obedience within the healthcare system can delay necessary change and offers practical steps for optimizing family health, especially for children. This episode is an eye-opener on preventative care, the root causes of chronic issues, and the importance of community and purpose in maintaining overall well-being.
