| 5/8/26 |  Less Is More: The 80/20 Reset That Clears Your Body, Mind & Life | About this episode: In this closing episode of the Thrive with Cate Stillman Gut Health Challenge series, Cate brings everything full circle — from her healing condo in Mexico, fresh from osteopathic bodywork that finally released post-surgical swelling — to guide members through the most important question of the entire week: What are you ready to release for good? Drawing on Pareto's 80/20 principle, Cate leads members through a powerful breakout room exercise to identify what is clearly outdated in their lives — the patterns, habits, mindsets, and identities that no longer belong on the next floor — and what is genuinely emergent in the 20% that will carry them forward. This session weaves together Ayurvedic wisdom on Agni, Ama, and Svastha with behavioral psychology concepts like mental rehearsal, first attempts at learning, and the dangers of Pragnaparada — the failure to live into embodied wisdom. Members share real breakthroughs: from rediscovering the joy of sprouting and fermented foods, to finally hearing the body's hunger signals clearly after years of externally driven eating rules. Cate also speaks to the importance of not disrupting the body's reset before it's complete, how your people set replaces willpower, and why the emergent self is not something you build — it's something you uncover by releasing what no longer fits. Key Takeaways: The 80/20 Identity Map: How to identify what's clearly outdated versus what's genuinely emergent — and why that distinction changes everything Karma vs. Kriya: The difference between carrying outdated patterns into the future and taking spontaneous, aligned action from your new floor Mental Rehearsal as Healing: Why visualizing the aligned choice builds the same neural muscle as living it — and how to use it after any backslide Honoring the Full Reset Cycle: Why disrupting a fast or reset before the body is finished creates backlash — and how to support the complete cycle People Set Replaces Willpower: How surrounding yourself with the emergent 20% makes transformation sustainable rather than effortful Svastha & Self-Authority: What it means to be truly seated in the self — with full command over your physiology, intuition, and next aligned action Resources & Links: Wellness Pro Academy: https://wellnesspro.academy Yogahealer: https://www.yogahealer.com Gut Health Challenge: https://guthealthchallenge.scoreapp.com About the Host – Cate Stillman: Cate Stillman is an Ayurvedic practitioner, author, and founder of Yogahealer and Wellness Pro Academy.

| 5/7/26 |  Maslow Was Wrong: Self-Transcendence, Gut Health & the Identity Shift That Changes Everything | About this episode: In this episode of the Thrive with Cate Stillman Podcast, Cate shows up on her 53rd birthday — fresh from surgery and fresh from an all-night mission helping a neighbor navigate a financial and legal crisis — and delivers one of the most honest, layered conversations in the Gut Health Challenge series. What begins as a reflection on Maslow's lesser-known final insight — that self-transcendence, not self-actualization, sits at the true peak of human development — unfolds into a rich exploration of how gut health, identity, and meaning are all deeply interconnected. Cate draws a direct line between the health of your microbiome and the personality you inhabit, introducing the concept of the microbiome signature and what loss of microbial diversity actually costs you at an identity level. She also explores the gut-brain-vagus nerve connection through the lens of her own surgical recovery, the emotional and psychological layers that surface during fasting, and why waking at 3am with memories and gut noise during a reset is not a problem to fix — but information to receive. This session also features a powerful long-term member share from Michelle, a Waldorf teacher who reflects on cycles of deep self-care, dissolution, and return — and what it means to serve others from a genuinely fuller self. Key Takeaways: Maslow's Hidden Peak: Why self-transcendence — doing something for someone beyond yourself — is where the most meaningful life is actually lived The Microbiome Signature: How your gut microbial diversity directly shapes your personality, emotional patterns, and future identity Gut-Brain-Vagus Nerve: How the vagus nerve connects gut health to brain state — and what Cate's fainting episode revealed about nervous system sensitivity Food Noise & Shadow Work: What food noise really is, why it's largely unprocessed emotional material, and what life looks like on the other side of it Waking at 3am During a Fast: Why memories and gut noise in the night are information breaking through — and the rewrite memories practice for working with them Altruism as the Highest Health Practice: Why doing the hard inner work is simultaneously the most generous thing you can do for everyone around you Resources & Links: Wellness Pro Academy: https://wellnesspro.academy Yogahealer: https://www.yogahealer.com Gut Health Challenge: https://guthealthchallenge.scoreapp.com About the Host – Cate Stillman: Cate Stillman is an Ayurvedic practitioner, author, and founder of Yogahealer and Wellness Pro Academy.

| 5/6/26 |  Future You Starts Now: Gut Health, Identity & the Art of Becoming | About this episode: In this episode of the Thrive with Cate Stillman Podcast, Club Thrive mentor Lynn steps in to lead a mid-challenge check-in session — and delivers one of the most grounding, identity-focused conversations of the Gut Health Challenge series. While the first two sessions explored the physiology of fasting and liver regeneration, this one asks a different question entirely: Who are you becoming? Using the Future You Framework — a core practice inside Club Thrive — Lynn guides members through a structured worksheet and breakout room experience designed to help them see, name, and begin speaking as their future self. What emerges is a beautiful parallel: as the gut clears, the external environment naturally wants to follow. Members find themselves reorganizing drawers, clearing closets, and reaching for the workout equipment that's been sitting in the garage — not because they forced it, but because internal clarity creates external momentum. This session also explores the connection between identity and environment — what future you wears, what's no longer in her kitchen, and why those details matter more than they seem. As Lynn shares from her own years inside Club Thrive: when you speak your future self into the present tense, she arrives faster than you'd think. Key Takeaways: The Future You Framework: A guided worksheet practice to clarify your core character, daily habits, seasonal goals, and future self mantra Growth Path vs. Depth Path: Why your most meaningful transformations may be invisible to others — and why they matter most Identity & Environment: How what you wear, your living space, and your daily tools either match who you're becoming — or quietly hold you back Speaking as Future You: Why shifting from "I want to become" to "I am" in breakout rooms creates a felt shift — not just a mental one The Marie Kondo Parallel: How clearing the gut and clearing the home are the same energetic process unfolding simultaneously Community as Accelerator: Why doing this identity work in a group makes the future arrive faster than doing it alone Resources & Links: Wellness Pro Academy: https://wellnesspro.academy Yogahealer: https://www.yogahealer.com Gut Health Challenge: https://guthealthchallenge.scoreapp.com About the Host – Cate Stillman: Cate Stillman is an Ayurvedic practitioner, author, and founder of Yogahealer and Wellness Pro Academy.

| 5/5/26 |  Why 72 Hours Changes Everything: The Science of Fasting, Autophagy & Cellular Reset | About this episode: In this episode of the Thrive with Cate Stillman Podcast, Cate leads a live Club Thrive session recorded mid-fast alongside members deep in their own 72-hour water fast or Fast Mimicking Diet (FMD) cycles — delivering one of the most scientifically rich and practically grounded conversations in the series. Cate walks through a research-backed slide deck — built with AI and Perplexity — that maps exactly what happens inside your liver, cells, and brain from hour zero to hour 72 of a fast. From the sharp insulin drop at hour 12 to the ketogenesis threshold at hour 18, through to peak autophagy and mitochondrial pruning at hours 48 to 72, this session makes the invisible visible. She explains why beta-hydroxybutyrate (BHB) — the primary ketone body produced during fasting — is not just fuel for the brain, but a powerful signaling molecule that regulates gene expression, reduces inflammation, and suppresses appetite. She also presents clinical trial data showing that three FMD cycles can reduce liver fat by nearly 50% — and connects all of it back to Ayurvedic frameworks around liver health, Kapha-Pitta imbalance, and the ancient concept of internal surgery through fasting. Beyond the science, this session explores the cultural conditioning around food, why hunger resistance is often inherited rather than biological, and how to use the fasted state as a window for deep mental and emotional processing. Key Takeaways: The Liver Timeline: What happens hour by hour — glycogen depletion, glucagon rise, AMPK activation, ketogenesis, and peak autophagy BHB Explained: Why the brain runs better on ketones than glucose — and why this only happens when glycogen stores are fully depleted Autophagy in Action: How lysosomes engulf and upcycle damaged cells, misfolded proteins, and senescent tissue FMD & Fatty Liver: Clinical evidence showing measurable reductions in liver fat and fibrosis markers across FMD cycles Cultural Fasting Resistance: Why most resistance to extended fasting is inherited from food culture — not biology Fasting as Mental Clarity: How the fasted state slows down habitual patterns, surfaces emotional triggers, and creates space for deep self-study Resources & Links: Wellness Pro Academy: https://wellnesspro.academy Yogahealer: https://www.yogahealer.com Gut Health Challenge: https://guthealthchallenge.scoreapp.com About the Host – Cate Stillman: Cate Stillman is an Ayurvedic practitioner, author, and founder of Yogahealer and Wellness Pro Academy.

| 3/17/26 |  Fasting, Microbiome Reset, and the Intelligence of Your Body | About this episode: In this episode of the Thrive with Cate Stillman Podcast, Cate Stillman leads a live session from Club Thrive, sharing insights from her own recovery after hip replacement surgery while guiding participants through a gut health and fasting reset. This conversation dives deep into the relationship between fasting, the microbiome, and adipose (fat) tissue—revealing how the body naturally detoxifies and regenerates when given the right conditions. Cate explains how practices like the fast mimicking diet, microbiome reset, and 72-hour fasting activate autophagy, improve metabolic health, and reshape cravings at their root. Through a blend of modern science and Ayurvedic wisdom, she reframes fat tissue as an active endocrine organ and highlights how stored toxins, microbes, and inflammation influence behavior, energy, and long-term health. Beyond the physiology, this session also explores the mental and emotional aspects of fasting—how to navigate cravings, build awareness, and use community support to move through resistance and create lasting change. Key Takeaways: Autophagy & Detoxification: How fasting allows the body to "upcycle" itself by breaking down and recycling damaged cells for optimal function. Adipose Tissue as an Endocrine Organ: Why fat tissue plays a central role in hormones, cravings, and overall metabolic health. Microbiome Reset: Understanding the "battle" between good and bad microbes—and how diet and fasting shift the balance. Cravings Explained: How detoxing fat tissue and starving dysbiotic microbes can temporarily intensify cravings—and why that's a sign of progress. Fasting as a Skill: Why practicing fasting regularly builds resilience, clarity, and even prepares the body for deeper states of healing and integration. Community & Repetition: How doing this work in a group setting makes transformation easier, more sustainable, and more impactful over time.

| 3/4/26 |  What if your "gut feelings" are actually a hardware setting you were born to use? | In this fascinating conversation, I sit down with Julie Ryan, a serial entrepreneur and inventor of surgical devices, to explore the "buffet of psychicness." Julie reveals that psychic ability isn't a rare gift for the "chosen few"—it is a physiological part of our anatomy that anyone can learn to activate. After years in the medical supply industry, Julie pivoted to mastering medical intuition and mediumship. She now teaches students globally how to scan the human body like a "human MRI" and communicate with spirits instantly, bypassing the need for long meditations or complex rituals. Together, we explore: The Satellite Dish Brain: How to tune your frequency to communicate with any spirit—living or dead. The "Human MRI": How medical intuitives identify energetic blocks, broken bones, and even baby spirits waiting to be conceived. Energy Field Membranes: Understanding the "Saran Wrap" container of your spirit and how energy leaks precede medical conditions. Ancestral Clearing: The power of rituals like Tarpanam to digest generational trauma and clear inherited patterns. Past Life Scripts: Why we often repeat the same basic "script" across multiple lifetimes from different perspectives. De-conditioning the Mind: How our education system trained us to ignore our intuition in favor of being "good employees." This episode is an invitation to move beyond doubt and fear and reclaim a lost part of your human anatomy. Whether you are a wellness professional or simply curious about the "woo-way," this conversation provides the bridge between practical science and spiritual wisdom.

| 2/28/26 |  Healing, Sacrifice & Midlife Awakening: Near-Death, Menopause & the Power of Surrender with Dr. Claudia Welch | What if the crisis you're trying to fix is actually an invitation? In this intimate and wide-ranging conversation, I sit down with Dr. Claudia Welch to explore near-death experiences, menopause, identity collapse, and the spiritual art of surrender. After surviving a life-threatening case of MRSA pneumonia, Claudia found herself stripped of certainty, control, and even aspects of her professional identity. What emerged wasn't just physical healing—but a profound shift in how she relates to death, leadership, and the second half of life. Together, we explore: The true meaning of "sacrifice" — to make sacred What illness can dismantle (and reveal) about identity Why menopause is mythological—not just hormonal The danger of over-identifying with being the expert "Sell your knowledge, purchase bewilderment" Death awareness as a clarifier of what truly matters The Vanaprastha (forest dweller) stage of midlife Leadership beyond hustle and control This episode isn't about optimizing harder. It's about loosening your grip. If you're navigating midlife, health changes, burnout, or a quiet internal shift you can't quite name—this conversation will meet you there. Notable Quote: "Be ready to leave everyone and everything at any time." Listen in for a deeply reflective dialogue on surrender, maturity, and what it means to lead—and live—from depth rather than dominance.

| 1/29/26 |  Bending Time Explained: Consciousness & Identity | Patrick Garlinger with Cate Stillman | About this episode: In this episode of the Thrive with Cate Podcast, Cate Stillman is joined by spiritual author, intuitive guide, and former lawyer Patrick Paul Garlinger for a rich, multidimensional conversation on bending time, identity, depth work, and awakening within modern professional life. Patrick shares his unconventional journey from Spanish literature professor to New York City lawyer—and ultimately into a life devoted to spiritual inquiry, intuition, and channeled wisdom. Together, Cate and Patrick explore how deeply ingrained identities, cultural conditioning, and productivity-driven mindsets shape our experience of time, growth, and selfhood. At the heart of the conversation is Patrick's concept of "Bending Time" not as a productivity hack, but as a spiritual and relational practice of seeing the present without projecting the past onto it. They unpack how we unconsciously relate to people, work, and ourselves through old filters, and how true transformation requires slowing down, entering vulnerability, and allowing depth to emerge organically. Cate weaves in reflections from her work with Club Thrive, including the distinction between growth paths and depth paths, somatic healing, leadership, and the necessity of safe containers for professionals undergoing identity shifts. Patrick speaks candidly about depression, childhood trauma, intuition, channeling, and why not all healing is fast or meant to be. Rather than offering surface-level self-improvement, this episode invites listeners into a more honest relationship with time, becoming, and the unknown where awakening unfolds one step at a time. Key Takeaways: What "bending time" really means in daily life and relationships Why we often relate to people through past versions of them—and how to stop Growth path vs. depth path: why both are essential Identity, professionalism, and the cost of predictability Vulnerability and intimacy as gateways to transformation Channeling, writing, and capturing insight before it disappears Why healing often requires slowing down not fixing faster Reference links: Official Website and Endless Awakening: www.endlessawakening.com About the Host – Cate Stillman: Cate Stillman is an Ayurvedic practitioner, author, and founder of Yogahealer and Club Thrive.

| 1/23/26 |  I Am Shakti: Breaking Taboos in Modern Ayurveda with Mother Maya Tiwari | Cate Stillman | About this episode: In this episode of the Thrive with Cate Podcast, Cate Stillman is joined by spiritual teacher, Ayurvedic lineage holder, and author Maya Tiwari for a deep and necessary conversation on Shakti, ancestral healing, and embodied feminine wisdom. Together, Cate and Maya explore what modern wellness culture often avoids: the role of darkness, descent, illness, and loss as initiatory forces in true healing. Maya shares how **Shakti—the primal feminine intelligence—**is not something to be optimized or bypassed, but something remembered through presence, surrender, and devotion to biological and spiritual truth. Drawing from her lived experience, classical Ayurveda, and decades of spiritual practice, Maya reframes healing as remembrance—of ancestral memory, cellular intelligence, and the cyclical nature of creation and dissolution. Cate weaves in reflections on leadership, motherhood, illness, and navigating spiritual truth within modern systems. Rather than offering surface-level self-improvement, this conversation invites a deeper reckoning with what it means to live in alignment with body intelligence, feminine sovereignty, and sacred rhythm in a world shaped by extraction and control. Key Takeaways: Shakti as a biological, ancestral, and cosmic intelligence Why darkness and descent are essential to regeneration Ancestral memory, vasanas, and embodied healing The loss of feminine rites and womb-based wisdom Surrender as a radical act of sovereignty Living spiritual truth inside modern culture This episode is especially meaningful for women and seekers navigating identity shifts, illness, grief, or a deeper call to embodied leadership and remembrance.

| 12/30/25 |  Healing the Nervous System with Ayurveda | Sujatha Reddy | About This Episode In this grounded and insightful episode of the Thrive with Cate Stillman Podcast, Cate Stillman is joined by Sujatha Reddy, Ayurvedic practitioner, educator, and wellness guide, for a deep conversation on what it truly means to build health and a life from alignment rather than pressure. Sujatha shares her lived experience of Ayurveda not as a rigid system, but as a practical, compassionate framework for restoring balance in modern bodies navigating stress, inflammation, hormonal disruption, and chronic depletion. Together, Cate and Sujatha explore how subtle daily habits - sleep rhythms, digestion, nervous-system regulation, and self-trust—shape long-term vitality far more than extreme protocols or willpower-driven discipline. This episode weaves ancient Ayurvedic wisdom with modern lived reality, offering listeners a refreshingly humane approach to healing that honors both physiology and intuition. Rather than asking, "What's wrong with my body?" Sujatha invites a different inquiry: "What is my body asking for right now?" Key Themes from the Conversation 🌿 Ayurveda as a Living Practice Sujatha reframes Ayurveda as an adaptable, responsive system, one that meets people where they are instead of forcing them into idealized routines. 🧠 Nervous-System First Healing True balance begins with regulation, not restriction. When the nervous system feels safe, digestion, hormones, and immunity naturally follow. 🔥 Small Habits, Big Shifts Sustainable change comes from gentle, consistent practices that support circadian rhythm, metabolic health, and emotional resilience. 🧍 Listening Over Fixing Healing accelerates when we stop overriding the body and begin cultivating awareness, curiosity, and trust in its signals. 🌸 Embodied Wisdom in Daily Life Ayurveda becomes most powerful when translated into everyday choices—how we eat, rest, work, and relate to ourselves. Why This Episode Matters In a wellness culture often dominated by extremes, Sujatha's perspective is a reminder that health is not something to conquer - it's something to cultivate. This conversation offers a nourishing pause for anyone feeling burned out by "doing all the right things" yet still feeling off-balance. Whether you're a wellness professional, an Ayurvedic student, or simply someone seeking a more sustainable relationship with your body, this episode offers wisdom you can return to again and again.

| 12/24/25 |  How Udo's Oil Was Born - A Conversation with Udo Erasmus | About this episode: In this expansive and deeply grounding conversation, Cate Stillman is joined by Udo Erasmus, M.A., legendary pioneer of the healthy fats movement and author of Your Body Needs An Oil Change. With over four decades of research in biochemistry, nutrition, and counseling psychology, Udo brings clarity to one of the most misunderstood topics in modern wellness: dietary fats—and what truly creates disease and vitality. Together, Cate and Udo dismantle the seed oil controversy, explaining why the real danger isn't omega-6 fats themselves, but the industrial processing methods that damage oils through heat, light, and oxygen. Udo shares the science behind "right fats," the essential role of linoleic acid, and how restoring fat intelligence restores cellular health. The conversation goes far beyond nutrition. Drawing on his background in counseling psychology, Udo introduces his 10 Steps to Whole Health—a holistic framework that integrates physical health, mental clarity, emotional healing, and conscious presence. He also speaks powerfully about trauma, resistance to change, and how cultivating awareness and calmness is essential in chaotic times. This episode is both deeply practical and profoundly philosophical—offering listeners a roadmap to reclaim health, peace, and personal agency in body and mind. Key Takeaways: 🧈 The Truth About Seed Oils Seed oils aren't inherently harmful—the damage happens during industrial processing. When oils are protected from heat, light, and oxygen, they become powerful healers. 🧠 Why Omega-6 Is Essential Avoiding omega-6 fats is misguided. Linoleic acid is vital for cell membranes, brain health, and immune function when consumed in its natural, undamaged form. 🌱 The 10 Steps to Whole Health Udo's holistic system addresses the full human experience—nutrition, nervous system regulation, awareness, and alignment with nature. 🕊 Mental Health for Modern Times Resistance to change is rooted in unresolved trauma. Healing begins with directing attention, cultivating calm, and learning the language of the heart. 🔥 Right Fats, Real Change Simple dietary shifts—choosing fresh, properly made oils—can rapidly reverse damage caused by years of processed fat consumption.

| 12/10/25 |  The Hidden Immune Switch: Dr. Charles Akle on Microbiome & Chronic Inflammation | About this Episode: In this groundbreaking conversation, Cate Stillman sits down with Dr. Charles Akle, pioneering surgeon, immunologist, and co-creator of immy. The friendly bacteria in immy, Mycolicibacterium aurum Aogashima (M. aurum), works naturally with your immune system to calm inflammation. With decades of experience in transplantation, oncology, and immunology, Dr. Akle brings rare clarity on how the immune system actually works, why chronic inflammation is rising globally, and how reconnecting with soil-based microbes may be the missing link in human health. Together, they explore the science behind the gut-brain-immune axis, the role of mycolyssi bacteria in regulating inflammation, why modern environments weaken immunity, and the future of "bugs as drugs" for cancer, autoimmune disease, and post-viral syndromes. Key Takeaways: 🧬 Your Immune System Is an Orchestra Health isn't about killing pathogens—it's about tuning the entire immune "symphony." Mycolyssi bacteria act as the conductor that brings the immune system back into balance. 🌱 Soil Microbes Are Medicine For most of human history, we absorbed beneficial mycobacteria through dirt, animals, and nature. Modern sanitized living breaks this evolutionary relationship—and our immunity pays the price. 🧠 The Gut-Brain-Immune Superhighway New research shows the gut sends direct immune instructions to the brain via dendritic cells and the vagus nerve—reshaping how we understand placebo, mood, inflammation, and healing. 🔥 Chronic Inflammation Is an Immune Misfire Post-viral fatigue, brain fog, autoimmunity, and even some cancers stem from immune cells that have "gone to sleep." Mycolyssi bacteria help "wake" and repolarize these cells. 🌿 Natural Immunotherapy Is the Future From early cancer trials to mood improvements, the data on mycolyssi bacteria is impressive—and points toward a future where gentle, nature-based immune modulation replaces harsh interventions. 🌍 Modern Life is Anti-Immune Ultra-processed foods, sterile environments, and lack of microbial diversity weaken immune resilience. Rewilding your microbiome is now essential, not optional.

| 12/3/25 |  The Cosmological Spirituality of Ayurvedic and Chinese Medicines: David Crow & Cate Stillman | About this Episode: In this powerful conversation, Cate Stillman interviews David Crow—renowned author, herbalist, plant-medicine researcher, and founder of Floracopeia. Together, they explore the worlds of Tibetan, Ayurvedic, and Chinese medicine through the lens of lineage, ritual, and spiritual ecology. David shares his extraordinary journey—from being one of the first Western students in acupuncture college in the 1980s, to closing his clinic and moving to Kathmandu to study Tibetan and Ayurvedic medicine directly from lineage-holding masters. He speaks about transmission, apprenticeship, plant spirit intelligence, and the disappearing wisdom of traditional herbalism. Cate and David dive into the deep relationship between inner and outer alchemy—how consciousness, meditation, ritual, and plants work together to heal, awaken, and extend longevity. They also explore how modern people can reconnect to ecosystems, attention, and plant intelligence in simple, practical ways. If you're a wellness pro, herbalist, yogi, or seeker of spiritual ecology, this episode is a masterclass in ancient medicine—and a reminder of how far we've drifted from the natural world. Key Takeaways Transmission Matters: Healing wisdom traditionally passed through relationship, ritual, and mentorship—not data alone. David recounts learning from Tibetan teachers who safeguarded ancient manuscripts. Inner & Outer Alchemy: Asian medicine teaches that herbal medicine is ultimately for longevity and spiritual illumination—not just symptom relief. Meditation Potentizes Herbs: Where attention goes, prana flows. Mindfulness amplifies plant medicine more effectively than high doses. Ecology = Pharmacology: The same plant species changes potency based on terrain, direction, climate, and ecosystem health. Herbalism Requires Context: Not every ancient practice fits modern physiology. David teaches how to evaluate herbs safely in today's world. Mind–Plant Intelligence: Plants respond to ritual, attention, and intention—something modern supplement culture often forgets.

| 10/29/25 |  Conscious Living, Conscious Aging: Rediscovering Purpose in Elderhood with Ron Pevny | Aging is not a decline—it's an initiation. In this episode of the Thrive with Cate Stillman Podcast, Cate Stillman speaks with Ron Pevny, founder of the Center for Conscious Eldering and author of Conscious Living, Conscious Aging, to explore how the later chapters of life can become a time of growth, purpose, and legacy. Ron shares his evolution from guiding vision quests to leading Conscious Eldering retreats, helping people transform retirement into renewal. His work illuminates a new paradigm of aging—one that integrates emotional maturity, spiritual awakening, and service to future generations. Why Conscious Aging Matters Modern culture glorifies youth and productivity while neglecting the sacred role of elders. Ron explains that true elderhood is less about age and more about inner development—forgiveness, self-reflection, and deep listening to the call of spirit. Key Lessons from the Conversation 🌿 Elderhood as Evolution Aging invites transformation, not stagnation. The conscious elder cultivates wisdom, compassion, and purpose. 🌀 The Inner Work of Transition Letting go of past identities creates space for renewal. Reflection, solitude, and connection with nature are vital rites of passage. 💫 From Retirement to Renewal These years are a gift—a chance to live fully, share your gifts, and contribute meaningfully to the world. 🤝 Intergenerational Wisdom Elders play a crucial role in healing cultural divides by mentoring younger generations and modeling integrity, curiosity, and care. ✨ Community as Continuum The conscious aging movement invites circles of elders and youngers to grow together—bridging experience and innovation. Redefining Elderhood As Cate and Ron emphasize, the future of aging lies in conscious participation, not withdrawal. By engaging the heart, mind, and spirit, we reclaim the elder's sacred purpose—to embody wisdom and guide the next generation with humility and light.

| 10/21/25 |  Biological Dentistry & Whole-Body Healing with Dr. Toni Engram | In this enlightening conversation, Cate Stillman sits down with Dr. Toni Engram, founder of Flourish Dental Boutique in Dallas, to explore how biological dentistry bridges oral health and whole-body wellness. Together, they unpack why your mouth is the mirror of your overall health—and how what's happening in your teeth and gums can reveal the state of your immune system, hormones, and even emotional resilience. Dr. Toni shares her journey from a traditional, insurance-based dental practice to creating a toxin-free, holistic clinic grounded in terrain theory, functional medicine, and Eastern-Western integration. She explains how addressing inflammation, hidden infections, and oral microbiome imbalance can prevent chronic disease and autoimmune flare-ups. The conversation also explores how breathing patterns, ozone therapy, and nutritional care are transforming modern dentistry into a foundation for long-term vitality. A powerful theme throughout this dialogue is medical freedom and informed choice—how Dr. Toni's experience during the pandemic reinforced her commitment to individualized care, clean practices, and patient empowerment. Key Takeaways: 🦷 The Mouth–Body Connection: Each tooth corresponds to an organ system. Oral inflammation and hidden infections can trigger systemic issues like fatigue, autoimmunity, and hormonal imbalance. 🌿 Terrain over Germ Theory: Health depends on the body's internal environment. By strengthening the terrain—through nutrition, detoxification, and non-toxic dental care—you naturally resist disease. 💧 Ozone in Dentistry: Ozone therapy cleanses infection, enhances healing, and supports a balanced oral microbiome—without harsh chemicals or antibiotics. 💫 Fluoride-Free Future: Dr. Toni explains the risks of fluoride exposure, how it entered our water supply, and why mineral-rich, fluoride-free options are the smarter path forward. 🌬 Breathe for Better Health: Mouth breathing alters jaw growth in children and disrupts the oral microbiome. Retraining to nasal breathing supports deeper sleep, stronger immunity, and calmer energy. 🧬 Oral Microbiome Testing: With new saliva-based tests, dentists can map bacterial balance and tailor precise healing protocols that blend functional medicine with oral care. 💖 Integrative Care & Coaching: Dr. Toni and her team pair dentistry with health coaching to address habits, diet, and lifestyle—because true healing requires more than dental work. 🔗 Resources: 🌐 Flourish Dental Boutique → https://flourishdental.com 📱 Instagram: @drtoniengram 👩💼 About Cate Stillman: Cate Stillman is an Ayurvedic practitioner, behavior change expert, and founder of Yogahealer and Club Thrive.

| 10/14/25 |  Courageous Conversations with Susan Harley: Thrive with Cate Stillman Podcast | Moral dissonance is rising in an age of global uncertainty, digital distraction, and AI acceleration. In this deeply reflective conversation, Cate Stillman and Susan Harley—writer at Courageous Conversations—explore how personal values, collapse awareness, and spiritual grounding shape our collective future. Susan draws from decades in psychology, coaching, and NLP to illuminate how integrity, agency, and conscious choice are the antidotes to moral confusion. Key Lessons from the Conversation 🧭 Morality Begins Within True morality isn't imposed—it's lived. Our choices and behaviors are the visible expressions of our inner values. 💬 Courageous Conversations Build Connection In polarized times, listening with curiosity instead of judgment becomes a radical act. Respectful dialogue restores trust in communities. 🧘 Reflection Restores Integrity Self-awareness and the willingness to "redo" a moment help us evolve beyond old habits and rewire our moral reflexes. 🌍 Collapse as Catalyst Ecological and social breakdowns can birth renewal. Susan shares how collapse awareness calls us to co-create resilient, life-affirming systems. ⚖️ Energy Follows Attention Where we invest our focus shapes reality. Instead of fueling outrage, choose conscious action, kindness, and prayer as moral resistance. 🌿 Health Is a Moral Act Physical vitality, nervous-system regulation, and spaciousness allow us to meet moral complexity with clarity and compassion. Redefining Morality As Cate and Susan reveal, moral evolution is a practice—one grounded in reflection, authenticity, and courageous action. By embodying our values and engaging consciously with others, we participate in regenerating the human spirit in uncertain times.

| 10/7/25 |  Kristina Scaglione: Thrive with Cate Stillman Podcast | About this episode: In this illuminating conversation, Cate Stillman sits down with Kristina Scaglione, LCSW-R, founder of Root & Rise Clinical Specialists, to explore the rise of trauma-informed therapy, the layers of modern trauma, and how holistic healing integrates mind, body, and spirit. Kristina shares her journey from volunteering with a New York non-profit serving the homeless to establishing a multi-disciplinary practice that blends traditional therapy with complementary modalities like nutrition, Reiki, hormone support, and hypnosis. Together, they unpack why "trauma recovery" is becoming mainstream, how systemic factors like consumer culture and isolation contribute to emotional distress, and why true healing requires more than talk therapy. A deeply personal part of the discussion centers on Kristina's recovery from a vaccine injury, her experience of being dismissed by the medical system, and how that inspired the creation of the Limitless partnership—a collaborative network of clinicians bridging Eastern and Western medicine to support complex health conditions such as long-haul COVID. Key Takeaways: 💫 Trauma's Nuance and Reach: Not everyone is "traumatized," but most experience trauma at varying levels. Subtle forms of trauma often stem from cultural, systemic, and relational influences. 🌿 Healing is Holistic and Integrated: Sustainable healing blends mental, physical, and spiritual modalities. The Root & Rise + Limitless model goes beyond talk therapy to include energetic and lifestyle support. 🧠 Habits Build Healing: Long-term progress depends on consistent daily habits. Kristina emphasizes "habit stacking" to make new wellness practices easier to sustain. 🧍 Mindful Navigation of Dysregulation: Grounding and breathwork should be practiced regularly—like a seatbelt—so they're instinctive in times of stress. 📱 Technology's Double-Edged Sword: While social media raises awareness, it can also fuel self-diagnosis and disconnection. Human interaction remains essential for emotional regulation. 🤖 AI vs. Human Connection: AI can support but never replace the deep empathy, rapport, and non-judgmental space that define effective therapy. 💰 Self-Pay and Autonomy: Paying privately ensures privacy, freedom from insurance limitations, and customized care rooted in trust and collaboration. 🌸 Iatrogenic Trauma and Validation: Kristina's healing journey underscores the importance of medical openness, validation, and the integration of multiple healing systems. 🔗 Resources: 🌐 Root & Rise Clinical Specialists → https://rootandrisecs.com 🌐Limitless Integrative Wellness | Mind Spa → https://limitlessintegrativewellness.com 🌐 Yogahealer Website → https://www.yogahealer.com 👩💼 About Cate Stillman: Cate Stillman is an Ayurvedic practitioner, behavior change expert, and founder of Yogahealer and Club Thrive.

Blending functional medicine with primal and Ayurvedic wisdom, Dr. Stone shares why excess weight is a symptom, not the root cause, and how circadian fasting, detoxification, and mindset shifts can spark true healing. Key Takeaways: 🌿 Weight as a symptom: Why stubborn fat isn't about willpower, but an indicator of deeper metabolic and hormonal imbalances. 🕒 Circadian fasting: How eating with your body's clock improves sleep, stabilizes blood sugar, and supports thyroid health. 🔥 Beyond fad diets: Why long-term healing requires universal truths, not quick fixes or trends. 💡 Autoimmunity insights: Understanding Hashimoto's, thyroid medication, and how to move toward remission through root-cause healing. 🌞 Return to nature: How primal habits like morning light, movement, and fasting rhythms rewire health and energy. 🧠 Mindset & identity: Breaking free from "disease identity" and cultivating the vision of your future, healthier self. 🔗 Resources: 🌐 Dr. Heather Stone → https://reversemycondition.com 🌐 Club Thrive → https://clubthrive.global 🌐 Happy Healthy and Lean FB Group → [Search on Facebook] 📚 Cate's Books: 📗 Primal Habits → https://amzn.to/3OvfPOx 📘 Uninflamed → https://amzn.to/3UUBgJ2 📙 Body Thrive → https://amzn.to/3udNFR0 📕 Master of You → https://amzn.to/3OlfoGn 👩💼 About Cate Stillman: Cate Stillman is an Ayurvedic practitioner, behavior change expert, and founder of Yogahealer and Club Thrive.

| 9/26/25 |  Yoga for Arthritis and Chronic Pain with Steffany Moonaz | About this episode: In this illuminating conversation, Cate Stillman sits down with Dr. Steffany Moonaz—yoga therapist, researcher, and founder of Arthritis.Yoga—to explore how yoga helps people living with arthritis and chronic pain reclaim vitality, mobility, and joy. With decades of experience bridging research and practice, Steffany shares why yoga is far more than asana and how breath, mindfulness, and community play a vital role in pain management and long-term healing. Key Takeaways: Beyond the joints: Why chronic pain is more about nervous system messages than cartilage damage—and how yoga can rewire pain perception. Yoga vs. physical therapy: Research shows yoga matches strengthening exercises short term, but outperforms them in mood and long-term results. The power of pranayama: Breathwork regulates the nervous system, reduces pain reactivity, and fosters resilience.

| 4/9/25 |  Death Midwife: The Return of Agency to those who want to Die | In this powerful episode of Thrive with Cate, host Cate Stillman is joined by Becca Nelson, a practicing death doula, and Andrea Murphy, a licensed funeral director and spiritual caregiver, to discuss the often-avoided topic of death. Together, they explore what it means to consciously midwife death, reclaim agency and ritual, and create a meaningful dying process. Drawing on personal stories, professional experience, and cultural insights, the episode invites listeners to reimagine the end of life with grace and awareness.

Notable Quotes "When we come together to support someone, a field of energy opens up that allows for deep inner shifts." – Cate Stillman "She was one hundred percent present at the moment of her dying—and that blew my mind." – Andrea Murphy on witnessing a conscious death "We've been conditioned to deny death. And when systems take over, they often rob us—and the dying—of agency and ritual." – Becca Nelson "In our dying, we teach others how death can be." – Andrea Murphy Cate Stillman: Website: https://catestillman.com/ Facebook: /cate.stillman Instagram: /yogahealer Yogahealer: https://yogahealer.com/ ClubThrive.Global: https://clubthrive.global/ Wellness Pro Academy: https://wellnesspro.academy/ Author of: PRIMAL HABITS: https://amzn.to/3OvfPOx Uninflamed: https://amzn.to/3UUBgJ2 Body Thrive: https://amzn.to/3udNFR0 Master of YOU: https://amzn.to/3OlfoGn | — | ||||||
