Cracks in the Illusion: The Unspoken Lies I Believed in the Wellness Industry | E074
<p>In this final episode of Wildly Optimized Wellness, I reflect on the life-changing experience of surviving SCAD and how it has reshaped my beliefs about health, wellness, and the industry I’ve worked in for over a decade. After years of immersing myself in functional medicine, I’ve realized just how much misinformation and oversimplification exist in the wellness space—some of which I, too, have unknowingly contributed to. I dive into the illusions that the wellness industry sells, the importance of critical thinking, and why I’ve decided to take a step back, take a gap year, and reevaluate what’s next for me. This is a raw, honest, and deeply personal farewell—for now.</p><h4>Timestamp</h4><p>00:00 - Cracks in the Illusion: The Unspoken Lies I Believed in the Wellness Industry</p><p>01:11 - How SCAD Changed Everything</p><p>02:34 - Entering Functional Medicine</p><p>05:41 - Questioning Wellness Culture</p><p>08:29 - The First Wake-Up Call: Skin Cancer</p><p>10:40 - Misinformation in the $6.3 Trillion Wellness Industry</p><p>16:02 - Breaking Free from Affiliate Marketing</p><p>19:26 - Living in the Gray Area</p><p>21:17 - The End of Something Great</p><p><br></p><p>Resources Mentioned: </p><p><a href="https://www.torearodriguez.com" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Toréa Rodriguez’s Website</a></p><p><a href="https://www.torearodriguez.com/wowpodcast/e073" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Episode 073: Surviving SCAD & What Every Woman Needs to Know</a></p><p><span class="ql-cursor"></span></p><p>Connect with Toréa</p><p>Website:<a href="https://www.torearodriguez.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"> https://www.torearodriguez.com/</a></p><p>Instagram:<a href="https://www.instagram.com/torearodriguez/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"> https://www.instagram.com/torearodriguez/</a></p><p>Threads:<a href="https://www.threads.net/@torearodriguez" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.threads.net/@torearodriguez</a></p><p><br></p><p>For full show notes and resources: <a href="https://www.torearodriguez.com/wowpodcast/e074" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.torearodriguez.com/wowpodcast/e074</a></p><p><br></p>

The SCAD Heart Attack I Never Saw Coming: What Women Need to Know | E073
<p>In this episode of Wildly Optimized Wellness, I open up about my journey with SCAD—spontaneous coronary artery dissection—a life-altering, yet little-known heart condition that primarily affects women. Six months after my SCAD heart attack, I’m sharing everything I’ve learned about this condition, from its surprising connection to hormone fluctuations to the gaps in research and diagnosis. I also dive into the emotional and mental health impact of surviving a SCAD event, the challenges of navigating medical care, and what we can do to raise awareness. If you’ve never heard of SCAD before, you’re not alone—but this is something every woman should know about.</p><h4>Timestamp</h4><p>00:00 - The SCAD Heart Attack I Never Saw Coming: What Women Need to Know</p><p>01:37 - What is SCAD?</p><p>04:28 - Who is at Risk?</p><p>06:31 - A Trip to the Mayo Clinic</p><p>09:29 - The Lack of SCAD Research</p><p>16:59 - The Hormone Controversy</p><p>26:54 - The Emotional and Mental Health Toll</p><p>34:34 - The Role of Functional Breathing</p><p>42:40 - The Future of SCAD Research</p><p>45:27 - Why SCAD Awareness Matters</p><p><a href="https://www.mayoclinic.org/departments-centers/womens-heart-clinic/overview/ovc-20442061" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Mayo Womens Cardiovascular Medicine</a></p><p><a href="https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/spontaneous-coronary-artery-dissection/symptoms-causes/syc-20353711" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Mayo SCAD Information</a></p><p><a href="https://iscadregistry.bidmc.org/index.php/Main_Page" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">iSCAD Registry</a></p><p><a href="https://scadalliance.org" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">SCAD Alliance</a></p><p><a href="https://www.torearodriguez.com/wowpodcast/e062" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Episode 062 | Cracking the Migraine Code</a></p><p><a href="https://www.torearodriguez.com/wowpodcast/e055" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Episode 055 | Power of Functional Breathing</a></p><p>Connect with Toréa</p><p>Website:<a href="https://www.torearodriguez.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"> https://www.torearodriguez.com/</a></p><p>Instagram:<a href="https://www.instagram.com/torearodriguez/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"> https://www.instagram.com/torearodriguez/</a></p><p>Threads:<a href="https://www.threads.net/@torearodriguez" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.threads.net/@torearodriguez</a></p><p><br></p><p>For full show notes and resources: <a href="https://www.torearodriguez.com/wowpodcast/e073" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.torearodriguez.com/wowpodcast/e073</a></p>
