Ever met someone who helps people quit smoking… without withdrawal, meds, or even a second thought?

In this episode, I sit down with Meridee Hlokoff, founder of LaserQuit, a revolutionary addiction recovery program that uses cold laser therapy to help people quit smoking, drinking, vaping, binge eating, and even phone addiction, often in just one session.

Meridee’s journey started when she quit smoking herself after a 13-year addiction, and she did it without patches, pills, or suffering. That one treatment changed everything. Today, she’s helped thousands walk away from addiction and reclaim control over their lives.

We dive into how cold laser therapy works, why traditional methods like nicotine patches and prescription meds fail long-term, and why dopamine, not willpower, is at the root of almost every addiction.

We also talk about why most people relapse even after “success,” and how Meridee's approach rewires your brain to make sobriety feel natural.

If you’ve ever wondered what it takes to break a lifelong habit, this one will change the way you think about addiction.

"Addiction isn't the problem. Addiction is the solution, and the problem is feelings we don't want to feel." ~ Meridee Hlokoff

Struggling to conceive and feeling like the clock is ticking louder every day?

In this episode, I sit down with Jessica Preston, a biochemist-turned-physician assistant and founder of Denovo Fertility, who’s flipping the script on traditional fertility care by helping couples dramatically boost their chances of conceiving, without jumping straight to IVF.

Jessica brings 20 years of OB/GYN experience, a deep bench in functional medicine, and a wildly refreshing honesty about what fertility clinics often ignore. We talk about everything from the real story behind A.M.H. (Anti-Müllerian Hormone) levels to how stress can affect your fertility more than age, plus why miscarriage is more common than most people realize.

If you’ve ever wondered whether IVF is your only path… or why your body just isn’t responding the way you thought it would… or how the hell someone can get pregnant naturally after years of unexplained infertility, this one will blow your mind.

"Miscarriage and infertility rank higher on a stress scale for women than the loss of a parent or a divorce." ~ Jessica Preston

You go to the dermatologist with a full-body rash or a child who can’t sleep because they scratch till they bleed—and the first option you're handed is a lifelong biologic drug?

Something's not right.

In this episode, I sit down with Kerry Jenkins, a certified physician assistant with 23+ years in medical and aesthetic dermatology, who’s blowing the whistle on the standard system and helping patients heal chronic skin conditions by treating the root cause.

Kerry doesn’t just talk about acne, eczema, and psoriasis. She gets into the deeper problem: what our skin is trying to say about our gut, our toxic load, and the way we eat, live, and sleep.

We dive into everything from Accutane and vitamin deficiencies to the real deal with sunscreen. We also talk about the insane rise in chronic rashes in babies, and why so many parents are being pushed toward risky immune-suppressing drugs way too fast.

If you’ve ever wondered why skin issues aren’t being solved, this one will wake you up.

"Just because somebody's popular and has a lot of followers and they're promoting a product does not mean that it's legit or that it works. You need to do your due diligence.” ~ Kerry Jenkins
