11. Food Freedom for Bone Health with Ashlee Williams, RD
This is a special conversation I had with Ashlee Williams, a registered dietitian, functional medicine practitioner, and Director of Development & Community Support inside The OsteoCollective, founded by Dr. Doug Lucas. Together, we unpack what food freedom really means in the context of osteoporosis: eating to support your bones without fear, rigidity, or constant second-guessing.
We talk about why "discipline" can be fear in disguise, how all-or-nothing rules backfire, and what it looks like to build calm, sustainable structure instead. We also tackle common stress triggers—like oxalates and other anti-nutrients, strict tracking with apps, and the pressure to do everything perfectly—so you can focus on what actually moves the needle for bone health.
If food feels confusing, stressful, or loaded with pressure right now, this episode is for you.

13. Surviving Leukemia with Katie Brenneman: Mindset, Hope, and Healing
Published 1 Sept 2026 · Transcript excerpt
[…] And I didn't feel that way. I felt like this was just a blip on my radar. It was a temporary thing that I was experiencing and that would be behind me soon. And so I would say I was diagnosed with leukemia instead of I have it. Or on the vacation train of thought, I would say, oh, leukemia is on a short vacation in my body. But it was always just like, this is a temporary thing. This is not who I am. And that's how I viewed it. I know everyone's different and I don't want to give off any I don't want to insinuate that there's a right way or a wrong way to experience cancer. Everyone's different and needs to figure out what feels good and empowering for them. […]
