   Episode 2.15: Fighting for Your Family

   What does it really mean to fight for your marriage, your family, and your role as a father? This week on Fountains of Youth, we're joined by Dustin Elliott, former collegiate and professional football player and founder of Standing Dads, a ministry dedicated to helping men navigate some of life's toughest challenges—including separation, divorce, and custody battles. In January 2025, Dustin found himself suddenly separated from his family and son. Rather than allowing his circumstances to define him, he chose to stand, fight for his family, and turn his personal struggle into a mission to help other men facing similar challenges. Daniel joins Micah in the cohost chair, and Eli joins the conversation as we explore what it means to be a husband, a father, and a man of faith when life doesn't go according to plan. We talk about the challenges men face in marriage and fatherhood, the importance of taking personal responsibility, and why true strength often looks less like winning a fight and more like showing up, growing, and refusing to give up. Along the way, we explore some important questions: What does it actually mean to fight FOR your family? Why do so many men struggle in silence? How can faith shape the way we respond to life's hardest seasons? What does healthy, Christ-centered leadership look like at home? How can men become better husbands and fathers, regardless of their circumstances? And because this is Fountains of Youth, we have some fun along the way! 😂 We build our personal Mount Rushmores, play Google Feud, and discover that even a conversation about serious subjects can include plenty of laughs. Whether you're a dad, a husband, someone navigating a difficult family season, or simply looking to grow into a better version of yourself, this conversation offers encouragement, perspective, and a reminder that our circumstances don't have to define who we become. 🎙️ Connect with Dustin Elliott and Standing Dads: Website: https://standingdads.com/ (https://standingdads.com/) Social Media: @StandingDads About Fountains of Youth We're exploring what it means to stay young in mind, body, and spirit through meaningful conversations, fascinating guests, plenty of laughter, and the occasional ridiculous game. 👍 If you enjoy the episode, like, subscribe, and share it with someone who could use some encouragement! #FountainsOfYouth #StandingDads #Fatherhood #Marriage #ChristianMen #Faith #Parenting #Podcast

   Episode 2.14 - Breathwork: Can Changing How You Breathe Change Your Life?

   We breathe all day, every day, without giving it much thought. But what happens when you use your breath intentionally—not simply to breathe “better,” but to explore what’s happening beneath the surface? This week on Fountains of Youth, we're switching things up! Dr. Rachel Myers takes over the host chair, while Micah tries his hand at co-hosting, as they welcome breathwork practitioner-in-training Danielle Freeman for a fascinating conversation about breathwork, awareness, support, faith, and our inner world. Danielle is nearing the end of a two-year training program through The School of Breathwork (https://www.theschoolofbreathwork.com/?utm_source=chatgpt.com), where she is studying Rebirthing Breathwork Mastery. The program describes its training as an International Certificate in Breathwork Mastery offered in partnership with the method's founder, Alakh Analda. The School Of Breathwork (https://www.theschoolofbreathwork.com/) Danielle explains why the practice she is learning isn't primarily about improving your breathing. Instead, she describes using the breath to enter a different level of awareness—creating space to recognize thought patterns, explore suppressed emotions and past experiences, and process what may be happening internally. She also shares how support and a sense of safety can affect that process and how, for her, breathwork has intersected with her relationship with God and spirituality. We also explore some big questions: How much does our inner world shape the way we experience our lives? Can our bodies hold onto things we haven't fully processed? What role can another person's support play when we're working through difficult emotions? And what does Danielle believe can happen when we become more aware of what's going on inside us? Of course, we can't talk about breathing for an entire episode without having some fun. We play Inhale or Exhale, discover just how long some animals can go without taking a breath, and put Danielle and Rachel's animal knowledge to the test. 🐧🦎🐋😂 It’s a conversation about breath, awareness, healing, faith, and what it might mean to become more connected to ourselves and to God—all while looking for another way to stay young in mind, body, and spirit.

   Episode 2.13 - Fasting: What Happens When You Stop Eating? | Loren Lockman

   We spend a lot of time thinking about what we should eat. But what happens when we choose not to eat at all? This week on Fountains of Youth, Micah and Dr. Rachel Myers are joined by fasting expert Loren Lockman, who has spent decades studying nutrition, natural health, and extended water fasting. Loren shares the personal health journey that first led him down this path and what he says he has learned from guiding thousands of people through supervised fasts—some lasting weeks rather than days. We explore what happens during a fast, why Loren believes extended fasting can be beneficial, what makes a multi-week fast very different from simply skipping a meal, and the importance of safety and supervision. We also talk about our relationship with food, the mental and emotional experience of going without it, and even the different reasons people choose to fast. And this is still Fountains of Youth, so things don't stay serious for long. We tackle some questionable Urban Dictionary terms, attempt to turn them into poetry, and discover that one of Loren's areas of expertise is surprisingly difficult to distinguish from something completely unrelated. 😂 Can fasting play a role in staying young in mind, body, and spirit? Join us for a fascinating conversation with someone who has made studying that question his life's work.
