In this first episode of the Body Evolution Podcast, hosts Eliot Berenguer and Corey Repp introduce the vision, philosophy, and intention behind Body Evolution.

This conversation sets the foundation for the podcast and explains why modern health and wellness often feel overwhelming, confusing, and unsustainable — despite people genuinely wanting to feel better, stronger, and more energized.

Rather than promoting extremes or one-size-fits-all solutions, this episode introduces a more human, practical, and long-term approach to health — focused on clarity, rhythm, and understanding how the whole system works together.

In this episode, we explore:

 * Why modern health advice feels noisy, conflicting, and hard to follow
 * The difference between short-term effort and long-term sustainability
 * Why there is no single “right way” to be healthy
 * How mindset and identity shape habits and consistency
 * The role of micro-actions and small steps in real change
 * How movement, nutrition, sleep, recovery, stress, and connection work together
 * What it means to work with your body instead of against it
 * Why health is about rhythm, not perfection

Eliot and Corey also share their personal journeys into health and coaching — two different paths that led to the same conclusion: lasting wellbeing starts with understanding, not force.

This episode is an invitation to slow down, reduce the noise, and begin building a healthier relationship with your body — one step at a time.

This is the beginning of your Body Evolution.

Ep 1 — Welcome to Body Evolution: A New Way to Understand Health

Can companies save the world? In this episode, Alison Taylor, author of Higher Ground and Clinical Associate Professor at NYU Stern School of Business, shares thought-provoking views. She brings two decades of experience consulting with multinational companies on sustainability, culture, stakeholder engagement, and political risk. Together, we explore how corporate responsibility has evolved, why reputational risk is not the same as trust, and what needs to change in how we hold businesses accountable. Alison challenges the myth that companies can solve every global issue. Instead, she urges us to go back to basics and ensure that "do no harm" principles actually translate into reality. Clean up your own house. Be honest and transparent about trade-offs. We also talk about the global disconnect between ESG promises and everyday realities, especially in emerging markets, and the importance of centering voices from those markets in decision-making. This is a conversation for anyone who has ever felt disillusioned by corporate sustainability and still wants to believe change is possible.

In this episode, Connie Connolly, impact lawyer, co-founder of Keidos Impacto Legal, and former president of the Global Alliance of Impact Lawyers (GAIL), shares how lawyers are key actors for change across Latin America and beyond. From pioneering social impact bonds in Buenos Aires to helping NGOs and SMEs tap into capital markets, Connie brings concrete examples of what’s possible even in challenging political and economic environments. She unpacks the role of legal innovation in shaping purpose-driven enterprises, and why strong, values-based governance is core to driving change. More than a lawyer, Connie is a movement-builder. Her passion shines through as she talks about teaching the next generation of impact lawyers and the systemic legal reforms needed to enable inclusive, sustainable economies. This episode shows how law is an essential part of driving finance as a force for good and how lawyers, when guided by impact, can help unlock transformational change.

In this episode, Lisa Hehenberger, Director of ESADE Business School’s Center for Social Impact, and a leading voice in Europe’s impact ecosystem, shares her reflections about trends and tensions shaping the sector today. We explore how impact investing is evolving across Europe: from measurement and governance, to the shifting expectations of funders, investors, and social entrepreneurs. Lisa brings deep experience thanks to her journey bridging the worlds of academia and practice, and offers practical guidance on impact measurement: how to start small, why having a theory of change still matters, and how investors can avoid overburdening their investees with reporting. This episode looks at why Europe’s impact ecosystem is one of the most developed today, and what still remains to be done.

In this episode, we learn from indigenous wisdom what it really means to build a financial system that honours people and planet. 

Fonteyn Moses-Te Kani, Poutiaki Director of Maori Strategy and Indigenous Inclusion at Westpac New Zealand, brings a systems-thinking lens to the world of finance, drawing from her lived experience as an Indigenous woman and a change leader working across banking, government, and community in New Zealand.

We talk about carbon trading that protects native forests, the power of Indigenous-led investing, and why decision-making must start with trust and humility. Fonteyn’s perspective on sustainable finance is grounded in indigenous practices, while bringing to life concrete financial innovations that support collective stewardship for our planet and people. She reminds us that finance is not just about transactions, but about relationships, and that community-led solutions are often the most enduring.

This is an incredibly inspiring conversation about how we reimagine financial tools as pathways for collective healing and future-building, showing us that it can be done.

In this episode, Reema Nanavaty, Director of the Self-Employed Women’s Association of India (SEWA), shares the incredible power of joining forces to improve lives. Under Reema’s leadership, SEWA has grown into the largest union of informal women workers in India, now uniting more than 3.2 million members. Together, they are transforming finance into a tool for dignity and self-reliance. In our conversation, Reema shares how women workers, once excluded from banks and the financial system, built their own cooperative bank, designed financial products for their daily realities, and pioneered innovations like doorstep banking, micro-pensions, and even climate insurance for extreme heat. She describes SEWA as a banyan tree: its trunk the union, its branches the women-owned enterprises, and its leaves the millions of women who stand strong together against poverty. We explore what the world can learn from SEWA’s model: that the poor are creditworthy, that women’s collective power can build resilient communities, and that finance must nurture people, not just profits. Reema’s vision is bold, hopeful, and deeply practical. This is an episode for anyone seeking to understand how finance can truly serve humanity.

In this episode, Fran Seegull, President of the U.S. Impact Investing Alliance and Executive Director of the Tipping Point Fund, shares her analysis and optimism about the future of finance. In this rich conversation, Fran traces the evolution of the impact investing movement in the U.S., from its historical roots to today’s multi-trillion-dollar global ecosystem. She shares her analysis about its politicization and market uncertainty. Fran explains why impact investing is no longer niche, how policy is a powerful lever for collective action even in times of backlash, and how protecting the “freedom to invest” is key for these troubled times. She also introduces system-level investing, a new, exciting lens for investors to steward entire sectors like climate or housing towards fundamental transformations. Fran also reflects on what it means to lead with courage and care in a divided world, and why peer mentorship, self-acceptance, and staying present are as important as policy and advocacy. This episode is a must-listen for anyone navigating the crossroads between finance, policy, and purpose.

In this episode of Women Changing Finance, Yijing Wang, founding partner of 2060 Advisory, a pioneering impact investing firm based in Shanghai, explains how China’s social and environmental entrepreneurs are building new solutions. We explore what’s happening on the ground in China: artisan cooperatives that support vulnerable women, inclusive tech startups, and climate ventures creating low-carbon concrete and plastic alternatives. These are powerful innovations, yet many global investors overlook China’s potential in solving urgent global challenges. Yijing shares what it means to work in this gap: building trust between local changemakers and capital providers, navigating a fragmented funding landscape, and pushing for stronger collaboration despite geopolitical headwinds. She also explains how 2060 Advisory is helping translate between sectors and align finance with sustainability goals that matter at the local level. This conversation is a rare window into China’s impact space, and a reminder that systems change is happening in many languages, and led by women everywhere.

In a world full of conflicting advice and constant noise, this podcast offers clarity.

We explore health as a whole system, not isolated tactics.

Movement, nutrition, sleep, recovery, stress, mindset, identity, and daily choices all work together. When you understand how they connect, health stops feeling confusing and starts feeling manageable.

Each episode brings clear explanations and practical perspectives on key areas of wellbeing. Some conversations focus deeply on one topic, others take a broader view, but every episode is designed to reduce confusion and increase understanding.

You’ll hear discussions on:

 * How the body works and adapts over time
 * Strength, movement, and becoming more capable in your body
 * Nutrition and building a healthy relationship with food
 * Sleep, recovery, and energy management
 * Stress, mindset, and habit formation
 * Identity, behavior, and lifestyle design
 * Longevity — not just living longer, but living better

The goal is not perfection or extremes.

The goal is clarity, consistency, and a way of living that supports health for decades, for men and women, at any age.

Complex topics are simplified.

Science is explained in human language.

And everything is grounded in real life.

Body Evolution Podcast is for people who want less confusion, better understanding, and a smarter relationship with their health — so strength, energy, and wellbeing can evolve with them over time.
