This is two women who've been through the fire, made mistakes, learned hard lessons, and come out the other side with actual wisdom that works in real life.Wendy shares the moment she realized she'd built a successful business but lost herself completely in the process. The exhaustion that no amount of coffee could fix. The resentment that crept into every relationship. The breaking point that forced her to rebuild everything.When "Having It All" Becomes Having Nothing The truth about what happens when you optimize every minute of your day until there's no room left to actually live. Why the productivity hacks and time management strategies sometimes make everything worse. What it really takes to create space for what matters.The Brain-Body Connection We Keep Ignoring Why you can't think your way out of burnout when your nervous system is stuck in survival mode. The physical toll of chronic stress that doctors miss. What actually helps when your body won't cooperate with your plans.WHY THIS CONVERSATION MATTERS:If you're exhausted from trying to hold everything together...If you've optimized your schedule but still feel like you're falling behind...If you're wondering why nobody else seems to struggle the way you do...If you're tired of advice that sounds great but doesn't actually work in real life...This conversation is for you.Because sometimes the problem isn't your time management or your discipline or your priorities. Sometimes your body and brain need actual help, not just better strategies.ABOUT WENDY AND FRESH START FAMILY:Wendy is the founder of Fresh Start Family and host of The Fresh Start Family Show, where she helps parents ditch the yelling, threats, and harsh punishments in favor of connection-based, firm and kind strategies that actually work. She's on a mission to help parents become more joyful and confident while raising kids who listen and cooperate—without the constant power struggles. But before she could help other families transform, Wendy had to rebuild her own life from the ground up after burnout nearly broke her.

In this episode of The Kind Revolution Podcast, Dr. Georgine Nanos sits down with Kelly Sales, PA-C, Associate Medical Director at Kind Health Group, to break down what family medicine actually is, why it's the backbone of longevity medicine (before longevity was even trendy), and why every single person needs a primary care physician—especially now.

This isn't your typical medical specialty conversation. Dr. Nanos and Kelly get real about what happens when you don't have someone coordinating your care: the woman treated for depression when she actually needed hormone therapy, the patient bouncing between specialists with no one connecting the dots, the friend diagnosed with stage 4 cancer with no one to help navigate the terrifying healthcare system.

This conversation strips away the confusion about who does what in healthcare and makes the case for why primary care isn't optional—it's foundational.

In this episode of The Kind Revolution Podcast, Dr. Georgine Nanos sits down with Dr. Christie Prendergast, a board-certified plastic surgeon who took an unconventional path from general surgery at UC San Diego to the high-stakes world of Beverly Hills aesthetics—only to realize the entire industry was missing the point.

This conversation gets real about what Dr. Christie calls Beauty Matrix™—the intersection of brain health, hormones, regenerative medicine, and yes, strategic aesthetics. She breaks down why peptides aren't for everyone (despite the hype), how TMS therapy reversed cognitive decline in a 70-year-old patient, and why the Beverly Hills transactional medicine model disgusts her.

They discuss the synergy between TMS therapy and peptides, why foundational work matters more than expensive interventions, and how brain resilience might be more important than any injectable. Dr. Christie shares her vision for democratizing personalized medicine and making longevity accessible beyond Beverly Hills zip codes.

Hormonal changes in women can significantly impact their mental and physical health.

Bioidentical hormones are derived from plants and are designed to mimic natural hormones.

Comprehensive lab work is essential for effective hormone therapy.

Women should be empowered to make informed choices about their health.

Sabrina Falquier started crying at a medical conference in Napa. Not because something went wrong, but because something finally felt right.

After years of seeing 18 patients a day in 15-minute slots, checking all the boxes of a successful medical career while feeling like something was missing, she found herself at Healthy Kitchens, Healthy Lives—a collaboration between Harvard School of Public Health and the Culinary Institute of America. The keynote speaker started talking, and tears came. One shoulder whispered all the possibilities. The other shoulder reminded her of all the reasons she couldn't pursue them.

By day two and a half, she realized something that changed everything: her current employer was just that—her current employer. Not her destiny.

Now triple board-certified in internal medicine, culinary medicine, and lifestyle medicine, Sabrina has built a career teaching medical students, consulting with community organizations like Olivewood Gardens, and showing people that the most powerful medicine might already be sitting in their pantry.

This conversation wanders through the deeply personal terrain of leaving the medical highway for the frontage road, the science behind why plants matter so much, and the quiet courage it takes to listen when something inside you says "there has to be more than this."

Key Moments & Takeaways

00:00 - 07:03 | The Conference That Changed EverythingSabrina shares the moment she knew she had to leave traditional primary care. Spoiler: it involved crying at a medical conference and realizing her employer wasn't her destiny.

07:03 - 15:22 | What Actually Is Culinary MedicineThe definition that matters: using food and nutrition to prevent and treat disease through hands-on learning. Medical students cooking in kitchens. Communities learning that canned tomatoes still count. Evidence-based nutrition that doesn't require a Whole Foods budget.

15:22 - 24:36 | The Plant Kingdom RevolutionWhy plants matter beyond fiber and nutrients. Phytochemicals, polyphenols, and the compounds that actually make your cells work better. The science behind eating the rainbow (and no, Skittles don't count).

24:36 - 32:15 | Teaching the Next GenerationMedical students learning to cook. Teenagers at Olivewood Gardens discovering that healthy food can taste incredible. The ripple effect of planting seeds with future doctors who will actually talk about food with their patients.

32:15 - 40:48 | Making It Work in Real LifeThe pantry strategy when you haven't been to the grocery store. Why frozen and canned vegetables are completely legitimate. How to think about food when your schedule is chaotic and your budget is real.

40:48 - 49:07 | Rancho La Puerta & What's NextSabrina's work at the iconic wellness resort in Tecate, Mexico. Teaching in their kitchen. Her husband rediscovering his humanity there during the pandemic. The place where boot camp and hammocks coexist.

49:07 - 54:25 | Following the PullThe scary, beautiful reality of going off the linear path. No regrets. Financial instability sometimes. The practice of saying yes to mission-aligned opportunities and no to everything else. An invitation to listen to what's calling you next.

In this episode of The Kind Revolution Podcast, Dr. Georgine Nanos sits down with Michelle White, a woman who spent decades helping others as an educator before her own body forced her to become a student of healing. After retiring from a full-time career in education, Michelle dove deep into mindfulness, Ayurveda, and mind-body medicine - completing her master's degree and PhD coursework in natural medicine.

This isn't your typical wellness conversation. Michelle gets brutally honest about hitting rock bottom with autoimmune disease, the moment she realized Western medicine alone wasn't enough, and how she rebuilt her health from the inside out using meditation, breathwork, and ancient Ayurvedic wisdom adapted for modern life. Dr. Nanos and Michelle explore why most people fail at wellness (they're trying to add MORE instead of creating space), the neuroscience behind why meditation actually works, and how to build sustainable practices that don't require perfection. They tackle the hard questions: How do you heal when you've tried everything? What's the difference between spiritual bypassing and genuine transformation? And why does everyone feel like they're supposed to be "doing" wellness instead of "being" well?

Dr. Anjali Bharne has spent 15 years sitting across from patients who just heard the words "you have cancer." As a board-certified hematologist and medical oncologist at UC San Diego Health, she's witnessed the explosion of cancer treatment options—and the explosion of misinformation right alongside it.This conversation gets into territory most oncologists won't touch publicly. The patient who confessed to secretly taking ivermectin and fenbendazole because he read about it online. The desperate families spending tens of thousands on alternative treatments from providers who've lost their medical licenses. The real consequences when someone delays proven treatment to try something they heard about on a podcast.Dr. Bharne walks us through what's actually changed in cancer care since 2010. Precision oncology means doctors can now target specific mutations in your cancer. Immunotherapy has become a genuine game-changer for certain cancer types. And researchers have figured out that sometimes three drugs aren't better than two—more aggressive doesn't always mean more effective.
