Episode 494 - From a Garage Project to 100,000 Beds a Year with Luke Mickelson Oct 19, 2026

Show notes

Thousands of kids across the country don’t have a bed of their own. They sleep on floors, concrete, or crammed into overcrowded beds, and most communities have no idea it’s happening.

At 35, Luke Mickelson discovered kids in his Idaho town were sleeping on the floor. He built a bed with his own kids and a Boy Scout troop, and that one project grew into Sleep in Heavenly Peace, a volunteer movement that now builds about 100,000 beds a year across 48 states.

Luke and I talk about how a family Christmas project became a national organization, how he scaled to 440+ chapters while keeping donations and volunteers local, and why serving others together is one of the best ways to teach kids responsibility and purpose.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

How one local need turned into a nationwide mission
How to scale an organization without losing its mission
Why 150,000 kids are still waiting for a bed, and how you can help

Get involved: Volunteer, donate, or start a chapter at shpbeds.org.

Episode 493 - Dr. Mike Fortunato - Your Labs Are 'Normal' — But You Feel Terrible Sep 19, 2026

Show notes

Board-certified anesthesiologist Dr. Mike Fortunato spent nearly two decades in conventional medicine before walking away from the "sick care" system to found OptimizeMD, a hormone optimization practice serving patients nationwide via telemedicine.

In this episode, Dr. Fortunato shares his own health crisis story — feeling exhausted and run down in his mid-30s while being told his labs were "normal" — and how that experience led him to specialize in bioidentical hormone replacement therapy. He breaks down why endocrine disruptors in our food, water, and environment are causing hormone dysfunction in patients as young as their teens, why "normal" lab ranges may not mean optimal health, and the critical differences between synthetic and bioidentical hormones.

We also dig into:

Why most hormone clinics get treatment wrong
The truth about testosterone, estrogen, and progesterone therapy
How endocrine disruption is fueling a rise in PCOS and fertility issues
What to look for in a hormone specialist
Why he believes modern medicine wasn't built to make you thrive — just function

If you've ever been told your labs are fine but you still don't feel like yourself, this conversation will change how you think about your health.

Episode 492 - Mike Fave - Why Keto and Carnivore Eventually Backfire Aug 28, 2026

Show notes

In this episode, Mike Fave joins me to break down why these diets deliver such fast results early on, how the mainstreaming and commercialization of keto changed the game for the worse, and why so many people are now dealing with the fallout — microbiome disruption, hormone imbalances, metabolic dysregulation, and a much harder road back to feeling normal.

We also get into why carnivore carries its own unique risks, why "keto" today isn't the same diet it was five years ago, and what it actually takes to rebuild and recover once the damage is done.

If you've ever done keto, carnivore, or extended fasting — or you're doing one right now — this episode fills in what usually gets left out.

In this episode:

Why low-carb and carnivore diets produce such fast early results
The distinct microbiome risks tied to carnivore specifically
Why extended fasting and severe restriction can backfire hormonally and metabolically
What real recovery looks like after prolonged low-carb or carnivore eating
Why personalization — not a one-size-fits-all diet — is the key to lasting results
