Do you struggle with adversity? Do you feel like you are out of control over your circumstances, and the events that happen in your life? If so, you are not alone. The age of social media often causes us to play the comparison game which forces us into a dark place where we start to just pretend to be someone we are not in order to look better to the outside world.

In this episode I talk with Brandon Farbstein who at the age of two was diagnosed with a rare form of dwarfism. For much of his childhood he felt out of place and lost until he found his place on a Tedx stage. He now hope to inspire people to see the world through a different lens. He believes that adversity and the difficult things that happen in our life can bring us to amazing new things if we switch our mentality away from the negativity.

Questions I asked:

Welcome back to The Sisterhood of S.W.E.A.T., where we help women step into strength, vitality, and purpose — body, mind, and spirit.

Today's guest is a leader in the science of brain health, immune function, and evidence-based nutrition. Dr. John E. Lewis, Ph.D., is the Founder and President of Dr Lewis Nutrition® and one of the most respected clinical researchers in his field. He has conducted more than 30 clinical trials, published over 180 peer-reviewed articles, and his groundbreaking Alzheimer's study — featured in the Journal of Alzheimer's Disease — helped spark his popular TEDxMiami talk and his mission to bring powerful, research-backed nutrition directly to the public.

After decades in academia, Dr. Lewis shifted from research to real-world impact, driven by one core belief: nutrition is our number one behavior for achieving and maintaining long-term health. For more than 27 years, he has lived what he teaches — a whole-food, plant-based diet, targeted supplementation, and a consistent, disciplined fitness routine.

In this conversation, we dive into the science and practical strategies that can help you protect your brain, strengthen your immune system, and take control of your health at any age.

Welcome back to the Sisterhood of S.W.E.A.T., where we help women build strength from the inside out. Today, we're taking a deep dive into the root of human vitality — the minerals that power every cell in your body.

Our guest, Caroline Alan, is the co-founder of BEAM Minerals and a passionate educator on the critical role humic and fulvic substances play in cellular function. Years ago, Caroline found herself stuck in chronic inflammation, adrenal burnout, brain fog, anxiety, and full-body depletion while navigating a stressful corporate career. No matter what supplements she tried, nothing worked — until she discovered humic and fulvic minerals.

What happened next completely changed her life.

Within months, her inflammation calmed, her adrenals began recovering, her sleep normalized, and her energy returned. A follow-up test showed her adrenal function restored — even though she never took the hydrocortisone her doctor prescribed. The only change she made was adding minerals back into her body.

Today, Caroline and her co-founder, Dan Howard, have built BEAM Minerals into one of the cleanest, most trusted mineral lines available — helping thousands restore balance, energy, and resilience at the cellular level.

If you've been feeling drained, foggy, anxious, or "off," this conversation will change how you think about minerals, nutrition, and cellular health.

• What was happening in your body before you discovered minerals?

• What symptoms were the biggest red flags that something was wrong?

• How did you find humic and fulvic minerals, and what changes showed up first?

• How does soil depletion affect the nutrient content of our food?

• Can organic food solve the problem, or is supplementation now essential?

• Why stress, toxins, and processed foods drain minerals faster than we realize.

• Common signals: fatigue, anxiety, brain fog, poor sleep, cravings, dehydration, or hormonal instability.

• Are there accurate ways to test for mineral status?

• Why hair analysis and tools like Oligoscan may provide better insight than blood tests.

• What makes humic and fulvic minerals different from typical mineral supplements?

• Why the body absorbs minerals only when they're delivered in the right ratios.

• What people should know about electrolyte packets, mineral blends, and isolated supplements.

• How to begin replenishing safely and effectively.

• How restoring mineral balance changes energy, sleep, mood, and hormone function.

• Why cellular homeostasis is the foundation of vitality.

This week, Linda sits down with renowned molecular biologist Dr. Bill Andrews, one of the world's leading researchers on telomeres and human longevity. Dr. Andrews has dedicated over 30 years to understanding why we age—and how we might stop or even reverse the process.

In this powerful conversation, he breaks down what telomeres really do, why they shorten, and what current science can (and cannot) promise when it comes to living longer, healthier lives. He also discusses Televital, the only supplement he says has been shown to induce telomerase, and why true age reversal still requires large-scale gene therapy research.

If you want a grounded, science-driven look at longevity without the hype, this is an episode you'll want to hear.

• What telomeres are and why they control how long our cells live

• Why shortening telomeres is the real driver of aging

• What telomerase is and why activating it matters

• The difference between slowing aging and reversing aging

• Why most "anti-aging" products only change biomarkers—not true aging

• The "tug-of-war" analogy that explains how telomere length changes

• How Televital compares to other supplements

• Why gene therapy may be the key to true age reversal

• How much research funding is needed to move longevity science forward

• Why some aging claims sound promising but fail the "Betty White Test"

• Why Dr. Andrews believes real age reversal is possible in our lifetime

Dr. Andrews explains how every cell in the body loses a bit of its telomeres each time it divides. When telomeres get too short, cells can no longer replicate—and this is a major reason we age.

He clarifies why the only way to actually lengthen telomeres is through telomerase activation, and why most supplements claiming to do this simply cannot.

Even if something cannot reverse aging, slowing the rate of cellular decline can still have meaningful long-term impact. Dr. Andrews explains why Televital is the only supplement shown to induce telomerase, and how it affects the "tug-of-war" between shortening and lengthening.

From DNA methylation to glycosylation, many companies claim "reversed aging" based on biomarkers. Dr. Andrews outlines why these measurements don't mean actual age reversal—and what real reversal would require.

Dr. Andrews' signature test: if a product truly reverses aging, you should visibly look, feel, and function like you did decades earlier—not just change lab numbers.

He discusses ongoing efforts to develop gene therapy capable of fully restoring telomerase to adult cells—and why he believes it's possible within the next few years with adequate research funding.

Dr. Andrews explains why he partnered with Touchstone Essentials to launch Televital and praises their commitment to health-first product development rather than profit margins.

He also highlights other Touchstone Essentials products including:

• Glucocontrol (converts sugar into fiber)

• Zeolite-based detox products for heavy metals and toxins

• Fulvic acid (the active component of shilajit)

• Televital & Touchstone Essentials:
