The Crohn’s & Colitis Recovery Blueprint l Becoming the CEO of Your Gut Health with Dane Johnson

In this episode, we sit down with Amber Romaniuk for a deep dive into the numerous root causes of emotional eating. She discusses how the food industry has shaped our behaviors by promoting highly processed, dopamine-driven foods that hijack our brain’s reward pathways and keep us stuck in cycles of craving, guilt, and restriction. Amber highlights the role of dopamine in these patterns, showing how food becomes a quick emotional fix and how disrupted hormones, gut health, and blood-sugar balance can intensify cravings. She offers practical steps for healing, including building awareness around emotional vs. physical hunger, stabilizing blood sugar with nourishing foods, supporting digestion and hormones, and cultivating safety and self-trust instead of restriction or shame. Addressing food addiction, she emphasizes compassion, mindset work, and non-food coping tools to break binge-and-restrict loops. She also shares her insights into the use of GLP-1 medications, as well as more information about her Body Freedom Program, which helps women release diet culture, heal their relationship with food, balance hormones and digestion, and create lasting “body safety” through mindset shifts, nutrition, and emotional healing—all aimed at achieving freedom from food obsession and reconnecting with the body’s innate wisdom.

Amber Romaniuk is an Emotional Eating, Digestive and Hormone Expert, with 12 years experience helping high achieving women create a level of body confidence, intuition and optimal health through powerful mindset healing, self-care and overcoming self-sabotage with food.

She does this through addressing the key negative thoughts, patterns and limiting beliefs that keep women stuck in the same behaviors for years and decades, that they haven’t been able to break.Her podcast “The No Sugarcoating Podcast” has 2+ million downloads, over 600 episodes and is listened to in over 90 countries.

Amber overcame her own emotional eating after gaining and losing more than 1000 lbs and spending over $50,000 on binge foods, and spending 5 years balancing her hormones and digestion. She also dismantled her deep limiting beliefs and behaviors keeping her stuck in the same looping patterns.Now she helps others achieve the biggest healing miracles of Body FreedomTM so they have the confidence and health to create amazing lives.

Finding Freedom From Emotional Eating & Food Disorders with Amber Romaniuk l Unpacking and Healing What Lies Underneath Our Hunger for Ultimate Body Freedom

In this illuminating episode, we sit down with Dr. Paul Barratiero, founder of Echo Water, to explore how hydrogen-rich water can transform the gut and simplify the entire healing process. Our bodies are designed to produce hydrogen naturally, but thanks to stress, toxins, and modern diets, that ability often shuts down. Dr. Paul explains how drinking hydrogen water helps restore this missing function — changing the electrical voltage of the gut and signaling the body to repair itself.

Dr. Paul Barratiero is a pioneering advocate for molecular hydrogen therapy with over two decades of experience in the health and wellness industry. As the founder of Echo Water, he has also held C-level executive positions at prominent wellness companies. His career is marked by a commitment to advancing the benefits of hydrogen therapy and holistic health solutions. 

Paul created the Echo Water Hydrogen System designed to harness the power of hydrogen water to reduce oxidative stress and inflammation—key contributors to many chronic diseases. Echo Water now offers a range of products dedicated to supporting detoxification, cognitive function, immune health, and gut recovery. 

In addition to his work with Echo Water, Paul is also the visionary behind LumaNova, a groundbreaking company focused on light therapy for wellness. With a range of products, including the LumaNova Vitamin D Light™, Paul is bringing scientifically backed light therapy into homes and wellness centers. LumaNova's mission is to help individuals improve mood, sleep, and overall well-being by tapping into the regenerative power of light—one of the most effective, natural tools for improving health and vitality.

Your Perimenopause Playbook: Dr. Mariza Snyder on Bioidentical Hormone Replacement, Blood Sugar & Exercise to Thrive Through This Transition

Join us for this conversation with Matthew Coffman, where we dive into the powerful insights offered by Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (HTMA) and how it compares to standard serum testing. He explains the critical role minerals play in energy, detoxification, mental health, and chronic illness, touching on topics like electrolyte powders, vegetarian diets, sodium-potassium imbalances, and heavy metal toxicity. The conversation also covers oxidation types, the impact of alcohol and infections like parasites and SIBO on mineral levels, and the importance of tailored supplementation. Matthew also shares his personal healing journey, insights on children’s mineral needs, and thoughts on fulvic/humic acids.

Matthew Coffman is not your conventional health guru or biohacking enthusiast; his path into the world of integrative health was paved by personal adversity. In 2018, his health took a nosedive, catapulting him into a realm where conventional medicine fell short. This crisis became his catalyst, transforming him into a recognized authority in mineral nutritional balancing and an advanced practitioner of Kambo therapy.

Matthew's work extends beyond the individual; he is part-owner of Valence Nutraceuticals, a pioneering supplement brand that marries the visionary insights of Dr. Hans Napier with the foundational work of Dr. Paul Eck. Together, they're not just tweaking, but rather revolutionizing the approach to mineral balancing, offering tailored solutions for optimal health in the modern age.

As the host of the Integrative Thoughts Podcast, he bridges the gap between the esoteric and the empirical, sharing transformative knowledge with a global audience eager for alternatives to the one-size-fits-all medical model. His podcast is not just about healing; it's about empowerment, providing listeners with the tools to navigate their own health journeys.

Minerals Deficiencies & Heavy Metals l What HTMA Testing Can Reveal About Your Health with Matt Coffman

In this episode, we sit down with Dr. Tyler Panzner, a PhD scientist specializing in genetic health optimization, to discuss the most common mistakes people make with supplements. He emphasizes the importance of integrating both genetic data and blood work to create personalized wellness strategies, noting that while genetics reveal potential vulnerabilities, lifestyle and epigenetics determine how those genes express. Dr. Panzner also highlights the significance of methylation genes (like COMT), which impact neurotransmitters and detoxification, touches on the role of GLP-1s, as well as how psychedelics can be helpful tools. Overall, the conversation reinforces the value of precision health—leveraging genetic insights alongside lifestyle factors to make smarter, safer choices in supplementation.

Dr. Tyler Panzner is a Ph.D. scientist with a deep background in pharmacology, cancer, neuroscience, and inflammation research. His passion for how different substances affect the body has been lifelong, but about seven years ago, he found his true calling in genetics and personalized medicine. Since then, he's been on a mission to create personalized vitamin, supplement, and lifestyle protocols tailored to each individual’s unique biology.

His approach is all about understanding what your cells truly need and uncovering which vitamins, supplements, or foods might not be a good match for your genetic makeup. He firmly believes that by aligning your habits with your genes, not only can you feel your best every day, but you can also lower your risk for chronic diseases in the long run. His practice focuses on genetically optimizing health, helping people unlock their body's full potential to truly thrive.

Dr. Panzner sees a massive lack in supplement education across all sectors of healthcare, which shows up as unnecessary suffering as people feel worse due to the wrong supplement recommendations. He is driven to educate both practitioners for their practice and consumers in the supplement aisle of the store so they can make more informed decisions regarding their or their patient's supplementation strategies.

In this episode, we sit down with Charles Mayfield, founder of Farrow Skincare, to explore the surprising benefits of lard and tallow for healthy, radiant skin. Charles shares why pigs may just be the ultimate red meat, highlighting their unique nutrient profile and connection to human biology. We dive into the importance of regenerative agriculture—not only for the planet, but also for the quality of the foods and skincare we use daily. Plus, Charles offers practical tips for building an effective and sustainable skincare routine. This conversation will shift the way you think about what goes on your skin and how it ties back to the health of the land.
