Becoming Your Own Hero After Trauma (EP 125)
Tracy Smaldino is back for part two of our conversation, and we get real about what healing after trauma actually looks like when life keeps moving. Tracy shares how breath work, meditation, journaling, and simply learning to pause helped her recognize the physical signs that something was off before she reacted.We talk about the pressure to keep up appearances, especially for men who were taught to tough it out and women who were taught not to cause trouble. Tracy’s message is simple but powerful: nobody is coming to save you, but that does not mean you have to figure everything out overnight. Start with a pause, listen to what feels off, and take one honest step toward becoming your own hero.=== Chapters00:00 Tracy Smaldino Returns02:59 Listening to Your Body06:36 Becoming Your Own Hero08:30 Why Reset Seasons Matter13:39 Breaking the Rules We Were Taught18:45 Authenticity Over Approval22:01 Men, Trauma, and Vulnerability26:27 When the Past Affects Today27:33 Boundaries, Burnout, and Exhaustion32:35 Coaching vs. Therapy42:51 Starting Small at Home=== Guest: Tracy SmaldinoWebsite: https://traumarockstars.com/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/tracysmaldino=== Resources / Books / Podcasts / AppsTrauma Rock Stars™ Podcast: https://traumarockstars.com/Trauma Rock Stars™ on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/trauma-rock-stars-trauma-recovery-healing-podcast/id1835876659Trauma Rock Stars™ on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3j8Zoy3p3Mair20q0AQbW2Trauma Rock Stars™ YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@TraumaRockStarsTrauma Rock Stars™ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/traumarockstars/Trauma Rock Stars™ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/traumarockstars=== MUSIC LICENSE CERTIFICATE: Envato Elements ItemItem Title: Healthy EatingItem URL: https://elements.envato.com/healthy-eating-VNN4M4PAuthor Username: CrazyTunesLicensee: Marvin BeeRegistered Project Name: Unhealthy PodcastLicense Date: January 3rd, 2026Item License Code: XPFS6HD54W

The Trauma I Buried for 40 Years (EP 124)
Tracy Smaldino is the founder of Trauma Rockstars, a keynote speaker, author, podcast host, and someone who spent decades looking functional on the outside while carrying trauma she had never truly faced. When the pandemic forced her to slow down, a simple meditation practice opened the door to memories, survivor’s guilt, and pain she had worked hard to bury.We talk about trauma without comparing or minimizing it, why being busy can sometimes be a way to avoid ourselves, and how healing can affect everything from relationships and self-worth to weight, movement, and the ability to set boundaries. Tracy’s message is clear: you do not have to tell the whole world your story to begin healing, but you do deserve to stop living as if your pain does not matter.=== Chapters00:29 When What You Carry Affects Your Health00:36 Meet Tracy Smaldino of Trauma Rockstars01:20 How Meditation Opened the Door to Healing05:05 Staying Busy to Avoid What Hurts10:05 What Trauma Rockstars Is All About12:02 Trauma Is Trauma, No Comparison Needed16:19 Survivor’s Guilt, Silence, and Facing the Past20:00 How Trauma Shapes Relationships and Self-Worth22:35 Music, Numbing Out, and the Need to Belong30:21 Listening to Your Body and Setting Boundaries=== Guest: Tracy Smaldino, Trauma Rock StarsWebsite: https://traumarockstars.com/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/tracy-smaldino-484b373b1=== Resources / Books / Podcasts / AppsTrauma Rock Stars™ | Trauma Recovery & Healing Podcast: https://open.spotify.com/show/3j8Zoy3p3Mair20q0AQbW2Songs That Saved Us, Trauma Rock Stars™ healing playlist: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/0mQfkVQtw1eB1eNSsD9ZQy=== MUSIC LICENSE CERTIFICATE: Envato Elements ItemItem Title: Healthy EatingItem URL: https://elements.envato.com/healthy-eating-VNN4M4PAuthor Username: CrazyTunesLicensee: Marvin BeeRegistered Project Name: Unhealthy PodcastLicense Date: January 3rd, 2026Item License Code: XPFS6HD54W

Health Is More Than Diet and Exercise (EP 123)
Dr. Hema Murty returns to Uncle Marv’s Unhealthy Podcast for a real conversation about health that goes way beyond the gym and the number on the scale. Dr. Hema brings the perspective of an aerospace engineer, advanced yoga instructor, personal trainer, and nutrition coach to explain why our bodies need to be treated like individual systems, not like cookie-cutter fitness projects.We talk about the overlooked basics that can make a big difference: quality sleep, drinking enough water, managing stress, moving in ways that respect your body, and taking a break from being emotionally married to the scale. The big takeaway is simple: stop trying to punish yourself into being healthy. Start paying attention, start small, and find an approach that actually fits your life.=== Chapters00:45 Dr. Hema Murty Returns01:11 An Engineer’s Approach to Health and Pain03:41 Why Health Coaching Cannot Be One-Size-Fits-All05:25 Sleep: The Most Overlooked Fitness Tool08:21 Treating the Body Like a System11:50 Building Awareness Instead of Following “Should”14:03 Body Fat, Muscle, and Why Trends Matter19:09 Why You Should Stop Obsessing Over the Scale25:40 Joint Pain, Medication, and Natural Interventions30:19 How Gentle Yoga Helped Relieve Sciatica34:49 When “Push Through It” Is the Wrong Advice39:04 A Five-Minute Morning Mindset Check-In41:04 Dr. Hema’s Gentle Fitness Approach at GetShanti.com=== Guest: Dr. Hema Murty, Shanti Consulting / Get ShantiWebsite: https://www.getshanti.com/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/h-m-phd-8a7191313/=== Resources / Companies / Books / PodcastsTRX Suspension Training: https://www.trxtraining.com/DEXA Scan Information, RadiologyInfo.org: https://www.radiologyinfo.org/en/info/dexaGet Shanti Foam Rolling Guide: https://www.getshanti.com/foamroller/9-7-26-Hema-Murty-Transcript.docx=== MUSIC LICENSE CERTIFICATE: Envato Elements ItemItem Title: Healthy EatingItem URL: https://elements.envato.com/healthy-eating-VNN4M4PAuthor Username: CrazyTunesLicensee: Marvin BeeRegistered Project Name: Unhealthy PodcastLicense Date: January 3rd, 2026Item License Code: XPFS6HD54W

The Truth Behind “Hydration Multipliers” (EP 122)
Hydration should be simple, but the marketing has made it feel like plain water is no longer enough. I wanted to look past the flashy labels and find out when electrolyte drinks can actually make sense, when they are probably unnecessary, and what we should be watching for when it comes to sodium, sugar, and ingredients.I share my own honest struggle with moving away from soda, trying flavored-water products, and figuring out how to make healthier choices without pretending I have it all figured out. My takeaway is straightforward: water is still the baseline for most normal days. More electrolytes do not automatically mean better hydration.=== Chapters00:15 Why Hydration Is on My Mind00:58 My Athletic Background and Sports Drinks03:07 Cutting Back on Soda and Flavored Water05:13 The Electrolyte Drink Hype07:20 What Electrolytes Actually Do10:35 Why Most of Us Get Plenty of Sodium12:40 Mio Hydrate: A Low-Dose Option15:18 LMNT: High Sodium for Heavy Sweat17:22 Liquid I.V.: The Middle-Ground Choice20:48 When Water Is Usually Enough24:43 Simple Hydration Takeaways=== Resources / Companies / Books / PodcastsLMNT: https://drinklmnt.com/Liquid I.V.: https://www.liquid-iv.com/Mio Hydrate: https://miodrink.com/Gatorade: https://www.gatorade.com/Powerade: https://www.powerade.com/Zephyrhills: https://www.zephyrhillswater.com/Electrolytes and hydration basicsMedlinePlus: Electrolytes Medical Encyclopedia — Clear overview of what electrolytes are and how they affect body function.MedlinePlus: Electrolyte Panel — Explains fluid balance, acid-base balance, nerve and muscle support, and clinical testing.National Academies: Dietary Reference Intakes for Sodium and Potassium — Foundational U.S. scientific report on sodium and potassium reference intakes.National Academies: Sodium and Potassium DRI Summary — Readable summary of the committee’s findings.Sodium and healthU.S. Food and Drug Administration: Sodium in Your Diet — FDA explanation of the Daily Value and why sodium matters.FDA: Sodium Reduction in the Food Supply — Includes U.S. average sodium intake and the less-than-2,300-mg daily guideline.American Heart Association: How Much Sodium Should I Eat Per Day? — AHA’s practical sodium limits and cardiovascular-health perspective.World Health Organization: Sodium Reduction — International public-health guidance on sodium intake.Exercise hydration and sweat lossesAmerican College of Sports Medicine: 9 Facts About Hydration & Electrolytes — Practical hydration and heat-exercise context from ACSM.ACSM Position Stand: Exercise and Fluid Replacement — Peer-reviewed position stand on fluid replacement during exercise.Hydration and Fluid Balance During Exercise, 2023 review — Open-access review of bev

The Real Goal Is Living With Less Pain (EP 121)
Dr. Hema Murty has a PhD in aerospace engineering, but the work she is doing today is all about helping people move better, hurt less, and stop treating their bodies like machines that need to be forced into submission. Her path into wellness began with her own knee pain after training for and completing the Toronto Marathon, followed by years of frustrating advice that did not actually solve the problem.We talk about why one-size-fits-all fitness plans often leave people discouraged, the connection between stress and physical pain, and why fitness should support your life instead of becoming another exhausting job. Her biggest message is simple: start where you are, listen to your body, and build consistency around what helps you feel better.=== Chapters00:41 Meet Dr. Hema Murty and her approach to pain, movement, and wellness01:27 From aerospace engineering to helping people move and feel better05:45 Running for stress relief, community, and a break from the desk10:48 Marathon training, knee pain, and the search for real answers16:30 Treating the body like a system instead of chasing quick fixes19:53 Yoga therapy, pain relief, and the mind-body connection26:49 Why recurring injuries pushed Hema to build a different wellness model32:19 Empathy, consistency, and fitness that actually fits real life35:48 GetShanti.com and gentle fitness for women over 5039:25 Treadmills, gym machines, and moving in ways your body can handle41:08 The five-minute self-awareness practice that can help you begin feeling better=== Guest: Dr. Hema Murty, Shanti Fitness ConsultingWebsite: https://www.getshanti.com/Get your free protein download: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/hema-m-phd-8a7191313/ === Resources / Companies / Books / PodcastsShanti Fitness Consulting: https://www.getshanti.com/Toronto Marathon: https://www.torontomarathon.com/=== MUSIC LICENSE CERTIFICATE: Envato Elements ItemItem Title: Healthy EatingItem URL: https://elements.envato.com/healthy-eating-VNN4M4PAuthor Username: CrazyTunesLicensee: Marvin BeeRegistered Project Name: Unhealthy PodcastLicense Date: January 3rd, 2026Item License Code: XPFS6HD54W

Your Health Is Part of Your Purpose (EP 120)
Liz Watt is back for part two, and we go deeper into what happened after her personal health turnaround. Liz is the CEO and co-founder of Be Healthy Utah, an author, speaker, health coach, and someone who has built a meaningful community around natural health, resilience, and the belief that it is never too late to make changes that support a better life.She shares how a dream, a big leap of faith, and a conference that did not go exactly as planned became the beginning of something much bigger. We talk about burnout, building a team, taking care of your health while chasing a purpose, learning to adapt when life shuts things down, and why success sometimes looks like celebrating the 400 people who showed up instead of mourning the 1,100 who did not. Liz’s message is simple but powerful: live today in a way that helps you bless others tomorrow.=== Chapters00:15 Liz Watt Returns for Part Two02:10 From Personal Healing to Health Coaching03:41 Gut Health, the Microbiome, and a New Mission05:43 The Dream That Sparked Be Healthy Utah09:16 Building a Natural Health Conference From Scratch11:13 When 400 People Showed Up Instead of 1,50015:18 Be Healthy Utah Conference and Community Impact20:29 The THRIVE Framework for Lasting Growth24:53 Health, Resilience, and Investing in Yourself28:54 Valuing People, Self-Care, and Perspective34:37 Health Concerns People Are Desperate to Solve37:29 Becoming Me and the Emotional Side of Healing=== Guest: Liz Watt, Be Healthy UtahWebsite: https://www.elizabethannwatt.com/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/liz-watt-22321619aInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/lizwattspeaks/=== Shout-outsDr. Shane Watt, Be Healthy UtahLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/dr-shane-watt-dc-08994318a=== Resources / Companies / Books / PodcastsBe Healthy Naturally Podcast: https://www.behealthyutah.com/podcasts/be-healthy-naturallyBecoming Me: A Polygamist Girl’s Journey to New Beginnings: https://amzn.to/4zLk3HH Healthy Gut, Healthy Mind, Healthy Life: A Healthy Approach To the Microbiome: https://amzn.to/4iKIO0iDixie Convention Center: https://www.dixiecenter.com/=== MUSIC LICENSE CERTIFICATE: Envato Elements ItemItem Title: Healthy EatingItem URL: https://elements.envato.com/healthy-eating-VNN4M4PAuthor Username: CrazyTunesLicensee: Marvin BeeRegistered Project Name: Unhealthy PodcastLicense Date: January 3rd, 2026Item License Code: XPFS6HD54W

Healing Started When She Finally Listened (EP 119)
Liz Watt had spent years living what she believed was a healthy, natural life. She cooked from scratch, raised six kids, leaned into natural remedies, and built a life around wellness. Then her body began falling apart in ways nobody could explain. Pain moved through her joints, numbness spread across her back, and everyday life became something she had to fight through.What I appreciated about Liz’s story is that she does not pretend there was one magic fix. She talks about slowing down, paying attention, changing foods that seemed to trigger her symptoms, and rebuilding her relationship with her body one step at a time. This is a conversation about resilience, caregiving, exhaustion, and the uncomfortable truth that sometimes the person most overdue for care is the one who has been taking care of everybody else.=== Chapters00:00 Burnout, Health, and a Personal Update02:41 Meet Liz Watt02:59 Be Healthy Utah and Be Healthy Naturally06:55 Liz’s Health Journey Begins12:35 A Life-Changing Cheerleading Injury18:47 Raising a Family Naturally26:50 Homemade Products and Cleaner Ingredients34:05 The Moment Everything Shifted36:57 Removing Food Triggers37:30 Fermentation and Gut Health47:59 Part Two: Purpose, Be Healthy Utah, and THRIVE=== Guest: Liz WattWebsite: https://www.elizabethannwatt.com/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/liz-watt-22321619aInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/lizwattspeaks/=== Shout-outsDr. Shane Watt, Be Healthy UtahLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/dr-shane-watt-dc-08994318a=== Resources / Companies / Books / PodcastsBe Healthy Utah: https://www.behealthyutah.com/Be Healthy Naturally Podcast: https://www.behealthyutah.com/podcasts/be-healthy-naturallyLiz Watt Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/lizheals/=== MUSIC LICENSE CERTIFICATE: Envato Elements ItemItem Title: Healthy EatingItem URL: https://elements.envato.com/healthy-eating-VNN4M4PAuthor Username: CrazyTunesLicensee: Marvin BeeRegistered Project Name: Unhealthy PodcastLicense Date: January 3rd, 2026Item License Code: XPFS6HD54W

The Real Story Behind Picky Eating (EP 118)
Mealtime battles can wear a family down in a hurry. You start out trying to serve a decent meal, then suddenly you are negotiating over one bite of chicken, making a second dinner, or wondering whether your child is getting enough nutrition. I sat down with pediatric speech-language pathologist and holistic feeding specialist Lena Livinsky to talk about why picky eating can be more than just a frustrating phase.Lena shares how her own son’s struggles with food changed the way she viewed feeding therapy. We talk about sensory needs, oral-motor development, gut concerns, breathing and airway issues, nutritional deficiencies, and nervous-system regulation. The goal is not to blame parents or turn dinner into another stressful project. It is to get curious about what may be making food feel difficult for a child, and to know when it is time to ask for help.=== Chapters00:12 Healthy Without Shame01:18 When Mealtimes Become Battles03:41 Why Picky Eating Is Rising07:49 Understanding a Child’s Total Load10:02 Lena Livinsky’s Feeding Therapy Path14:20 When Feeding Strategies Stop Working17:56 Looking for Root Causes24:30 Building a Better Path Forward26:06 Why Interdisciplinary Care Matters30:23 Picky Eating Red Flags for Parents=== Guest: Lena LivinskyWebsite: https://lenalivinsky.com/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/lenalivinskyInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/lena.livinsky/=== Shout-outsMelanie Potock, Feeding Specialist: https://www.linkedin.com/in/melaniepotockBeth Lambert, Documenting Hope: https://www.linkedin.com/in/beth-lambert-ma-46246b5/=== Resources / Companies / Books / PodcastsB.L.O.O.M.
