  • The Workout Witch on Somatic Healing: Reset Your Nervous System in 5 Minutes a Day

    The Workout Witch on Somatic Healing: Reset Your Nervous System in 5 Minutes a Day
    Jun 15 2026
    Your chronic pain, your tight hips, your inability to wind down… a lot of it isn't just aging or overtraining.This week, I sit down with Liz Tenuto, somatic instructor and founder of The Workout Witch, to talk about what's actually driving the tension most people have been managing for years without ever addressing the root cause. Stress lives in the body. So does the solution.What makes this conversation land is that Liz doesn't just teach this work, she lived her way into it. She came out of chronic pain, insomnia, and a genuinely hard few years. The tools she shares aren't theoretical. They're the ones that got her out.What we explore:- How 80 to 90% of stress and trauma is stored in the body rather than verbal memory, and why that's the missing piece for most people who've already done the mental work.- Why the tight hips epidemic isn't a mobility problem - it's a psoas that never reset after your last stressful email.- What "functional freeze" looks like for high-performing adults who are crushing it all day and then collapsing the moment they stop.- How to know whether your chronic pain is structural or emotional - and the self-check you can do right now to start telling the difference.- Why high-intensity exercise can spike cortisol and backfire when your nervous system is already in survival mode, and how to sequence your training around your actual stress state.Chapters:00:00:00 What Somatic Movement Actually Is00:03:28 Little T Trauma: You Don't Need a Big Event to Be Carrying Something00:07:00 Signs Your Nervous System Is Dysregulated Right Now00:10:15 Why Nervous System Health Is the Next Frontier in Fitness00:19:31 Why 80% of Your Stress Lives in the Body, Not the Mind00:26:06 How to Tell the Difference Between Aging and Accumulated Tension00:36:23 Functional Freeze: The Hidden State Draining High Performers00:41:40 How to Know When Someone Has Actually Shifted00:56:32 How to Start: Time, Frequency, and What to Expect01:05:40 How Chronic Stress Disrupts Your Hormones and Health01:08:32 Why High-Intensity Exercise Can Make Things Worse When You're Stressed01:14:00 How to Build Stress Tolerance and Expand Your Capacity01:25:06 Somatics vs. Talk Therapy: What Each Does BestAbout Liz Tenuto:Liz Tenuto is a somatic instructor, Pilates teacher, and Feldenkrais-trained practitioner with over 15 years of hands-on coaching experience. She's the founder of The Workout Witch, where she's built a science-backed somatic movement method that's reached more than 240,000 students and 4.8 million followers across platforms.

  • Gut Health Expert: The Science of Fiber, Microbiome & Longevity | Dr. Karan Rajan

    Gut Health Expert: The Science of Fiber, Microbiome & Longevity | Dr. Karan Rajan
    Jun 8 2026
    Your gut is running more of your life than you think.I sit down with Dr. Karan Rajan, NHS surgeon, gut health researcher, and one of the clearest science communicators working today, to talk about why fiber is one of the most powerful levers you have for long-term health, how the gut shapes your mood and brain function, and what most people are getting dangerously wrong about protein, GLP-1s, and extreme elimination diets.This isn't a conversation about cleanses or cutting food groups. It's about understanding your gut as a living system that responds directly to what you feed it, within 48 hours.What we explore:- How the gut microbiome directly shapes mood, mental health, and brain function and why diet is often the missing variable in depression treatment.- Why high-protein, low-fiber eating is silently damaging your colon and what the data says about finding the right balance.- What prebiotics, probiotics, and polyphenols actually do inside your body and how to combine them for maximum impact without buying a single supplement.- How GLP-1 medications affect the gut microbiome and why you have to plan proactively for fiber and nutrient deficiencies if you're on one.- Why fasting, spices, and something as simple as eating with your hands can meaningfully shift your gut health and the four lifestyle levers that matter more than any test or supplement.Chapters:00:00 Introduction02:24 Why High Performers Are the Last to Take Care of Themselves07:07 From Gut Surgeon to Microbiome Advocate: Dr. Karan Rajan's Origin Story10:09 The Gut Bacteria Linked to Depression That Antidepressants Ignore14:00 Prebiotics vs Probiotics vs Polyphenols: What Each One Actually Does17:31 How to Add Fiber Without Destroying Your Social Life20:36 The Protein Mistake Even Healthy People Make29:21 How to Optimize the Pregnant Microbiome Before and During Pregnancy33:12 What Your Poop Tells You That Your Oura Ring Never Will43:36 Fasting Windows, Saunas, and What Science Says About Gut Health47:23 GLP-1s Are Changing Your Microbiome: What You Need to Add Back57:06 Why Treating One Organ at a Time Is Failing Patients01:07:27 10 More Grams of Fiber Cuts Colon Cancer Risk by 10%About Dr. Karan Rajan:Dr. Karan Rajan is an NHS surgeon and clinical lecturer who trained in general and colorectal surgery before becoming one of the most trusted voices in online health education.

  • David Watumull Reveals the One Antioxidant That Actually Extends Lifespan

    David Watumull Reveals the One Antioxidant That Actually Extends Lifespan
    Jun 1 2026
    You do the work. You train, you sleep, you eat well, you manage stress. And yet your joints still ache, recovery takes longer, and something just feels harder than it used to.I sit down with David Watumull, co-founder and CEO of AX3, to talk about astaxanthin, a naturally occurring antioxidant he has spent his entire career studying, one that most people have never heard of despite having more than 4,000 peer-reviewed papers and 100 human clinical trials behind it.This is not a conversation about the latest wellness trend. It's a deep look at the science of oxidative stress, chronic inflammation, and what actually happens inside your cells when the damage accumulates faster than your body can repair it.What we explore:- Why astaxanthin is categorically different from vitamins C and E, and how it works at every layer of the cell without ever becoming pro-oxidant.- How chronic inflammation starts with oxidative stress upstream, and why blocking it at the source is safer than suppressing the immune response after the fact.- Why this ingredient was one of only five agents in a 20-year NIH-funded program to extend mammalian lifespan by over 10 percent while also showing health span benefits.- How astaxanthin protects joints, muscles, and mitochondrial energy production, and what the data on competitive cyclists actually demonstrates.- What to look for in a supplement, why bioavailability determines whether you absorb anything at all, and how to build astaxanthin into a foundational daily stack.Chapters: 00:00 Intro03:30 Why Astaxanthin Isn't Like Other Antioxidants07:14 The Algae Origins of Astaxanthin11:22 Salmon, the Food Chain, and Nature's Design15:00 From Pharma Research to Supplement18:21 The NIH Longevity Study Explained23:15 mTOR, FOXO3, and the Aging Pathways29:10 Safe Anti-Inflammatory for Joints and Athletes35:15 Brain Protection and the Blood-Brain Barrier38:02 Skin Health and Sun Damage from the Inside45:00 Redox Balance and Liver Protection48:35 Mitochondria, Energy, and Endurance Performance53:00 How to Stack Astaxanthin with Other Supplements57:10 Dosing, Bioavailability, and What Sets AX3 Apart01:07:00 Why David Watumull Went All-In on One IngredientAbout David Watumull:David Watumull is the co-founder and CEO of AX3, a supplement company built on more than two decades of astaxanthin research. He was introduced to the ingredient as a teenager working on algae ponds on the Big Island of Hawaii, and has spent his career advancing its science through pharmaceutical-grade manufacturing, NIH-funded longevity studies, and peer-reviewed cardiovascular research. His work sits at the intersection of rigorous science and practical supplementation, and it shows.Connect with David Watumull:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/davewatumull–This episode is sponsored by:AX3: Visit ax3.life and use code GABBY for 20% OFF your first orderWebsite: https://www.ax3.lifeInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/ax3.life–The Gabby Reece ShowThis is where I have real conversations with the people I find most worth listening to: scientists, athletes, coaches, parents, and thinkers who are doing the hard work of building a life that holds up over time.
