Optimal Health Through Biohacking with Zora Benhamou
04/19/22 • 87 min
You may have heard the term mind-body connection – but what does that really mean? It means that our thoughts, feelings, beliefs, and attitudes can positively - or negatively - affect our biological functioning. In other words, our minds can affect how healthy our bodies are! And on the flip side, what we eat and how and how much we move can impact our mental state - either positively or negatively, and this results in a complex interrelationship between our minds and bodies.
But in today’s frantic fast-paced world, many of us have lost this fundamental connection with our selves. We’re simply too busy, too stressed out, too dissociated, to be able to “hear” our bodies signals. My guest today wants to change that, and the tool she uses is a modality called Pilates. You’re probably familiar with the term, but how much do you really know about the benefits of a Pilates practice?
My guest today is Emma Jory. Emma is a certified Pilates Instructor, Yoga instructor, and Health Coach, and her passion is helping people reduce pain, improve flexibility, increase core strength and posture, and most of all to help them learn to love their body. Join us this week as Emma shares how – and why - to incorporate Pilates into our life to reconnect with our bodies and live our healthiest lives.

Leveraging Technology for Your Healthiest Future Self with Dr. Drew Taylor
Do you remember the cartoon the Jetsons? How everything seemed so futuristic? And while we’re still aways from flying cars and having Rosie the robot clean our houses and wait on our beckon call, the future is here and it’s incredible. The Jetsons released their first episode 60 years ago back in 1962. Back before the internet. Before cell phones. Before 8 tracks, CDs, VHS tapes or DVDs. Before fax machines. And way before we had the ability to bank your stem cells and cryogenically freeze them for future use.
My guest today is Dr. Drew Taylor. Drew is the co-founder and CEO of Acorn Biolabs, which is a company specializing in helping people preserve their own cells for help them prepare for future needs. Drew was a standout colligate athlete and professional baseball player, but ultimately got his PhD in biomedical engineering and now leads the charge to bringing accessible, non-invasive and affordable live cell collection and preservation to everyone.
Join us this week as Drew shares how he went from a baseball player to CEO of a biomedical startup, and why people like you and me (and our children and grandchildren) should consider banking our cells today for a healthier tomorrow. I started our interview by asking Drew how he got interested in cell banking.

Be Your Own Hero with Josette Tkacik
What do radical healing, quantum physics, transcendence, spiritual journeys, finding your life’s purpose, and Zumba have in common? On the surface these things don’t seem that interconnected.
But before we get to that, I want to take a minute and talk about preconceived notions. We all have preconceived notions, usually concerning things we know very little about. I know for me personally when I started today’s interview, I had my own preconceived notions of Zumba. If you’re not familiar with Zumba, perhaps you too have your preconceived notions of what Zumba is, of what type of people participate, of what the instructors are like, and whether Zumba would be appropriate for you. If so, I invite you to stick around, because we are going to shatter those preconceived notions, and along the way we’ll cover radical healing, quantum physics, transcendence, spiritual journeys, finding your life’s purpose, and of course Zumba.
My guest today is Josette Tkacik. Josette is globally regarded as the most successful Zumba instructor ever and has been named a medical miracle for self-healing advanced rheumatoid arthritis. Her story and work have been featured on NPR, Zumba.com, The Daily OM, and many more. Join us this week as Josette shares her incredible story of how she overcame crippling rheumatoid arthritis (without drugs) to living her best life. Along the way we’ll dive into radical healing, quantum physics, transcendence, spiritual journeys, finding your life’s purpose... and how these things tie into Zumba!
