Show notes

Have you ever been judgmental of something that could actually benefit you? I certainly have, and today, we’re diving deep into how our egos can cloud our judgment—sometimes even against life-changing solutions. In this episode, I share my personal journey of overcoming this struggle, with the help of none other than Oprah Winfrey. Together, we explore how she changed my perspective on GLP-1 drugs like Ozempic, which I’ve now embraced as a crucial part of my three-pillar approach to wellness: Mindset, Minerals, and Medicines. But that’s not all. We’re also joined by the incredible Countess Luann, star of The Real Housewives of New York. She’ll be sharing the latest on her new cabaret show, Love Hotel, her upcoming television projects, and, most importantly, her powerful affirmation rituals that can help you conquer your ego and find true resilience. Join me as we embark on this revolutionary journey, shifting the focus from weight loss to hunger control and embracing the tools that can truly transform our lives. If you have questions or want to be part of this wellness revolution, email me directly—I’m here to help.
