The Advisor with Stacey Chillemi

Bible truth that transformed the ancient world is still available — most people just have no idea what it originally looked like. The first Christians had no buildings, no clergy, no prescribed rituals, and they ignited a movement that spread across an empire. If faith feels hollow or routine today, there is a reason. Retired engineer and biblical scholar Mark Stouffer traces exactly how the early...

If you've been told your chances are zero, this episode is for you.

He shares remarkable patient stories, dismantles the most common fertility myths, and reveals practical options most people never hear about, from...

Knowing isn't the same as doing — and that gap is costing you more than you realize. Executive coach and clinical hypnotherapist Janylene Turcotte, RTT, joins Stacey to unpack why willpower alone never creates lasting change. Drawing on 25 years in HR and nearly 1,500 coaching sessions, Janylene shares how subconscious patterns block even the most driven achievers — and the three strategies to rew...

Drowning in mental noise? You're not alone — and the solution might surprise you. Dr. Jeffrey Rubin, a psychotherapist blending decades of Western and Eastern wisdom, joins Stacey to reveal how true inner peace begins not with more effort, but with knowing when to stop. You'll discover how to detach your emotional reactions from external triggers, rebuild self-compassion, and integrate mindfulness...

Burnout rarely arrives as collapse. It arrives as a full night of sleep that changes nothing, coffee you need just to function, and small decisions that suddenly feel impossible. That is not a discipline problem. It is a body that never got the signal the threat had passed. Neonatologist Dr. Susan Landers and functional medicine physician Dr. Alicia Newsome walk through the early signs, the breath...

Wired at 3 am, dead by morning, crashing at 3 pm with sugar cravings — and told your labs are normal. Deborah Maragopoulos, MN, FNP, the Hormone Queen and author of The Hypothalamus Handbook, explains why "adrenal fatigue" isn't even a medical term, and why the adaptogens and glandulars keep wearing off: they treat the messenger, not who sent the message. The real story is upstream — a hypothalamu...

Sick for his entire childhood, with no answers from medicine, Pat Miletich built his own protocol from old books and homeopathic mentors — and healed his respiratory system in ten days. That same investigation made him a UFC world champion and the coach behind twelve world champions. Now he's focused on what he believes most families are missing: the minerals stripped from our soil, our food, and...

Tired, foggy, and told you're fine? That's not aging. That's a glitch. Dr. Angela Petersen — board-certified nurse practitioner, former Navy nurse, and author of The Wellness Glitch — exposes how the healthcare system is built to manage disease, not build health. She breaks down hormonal imbalance, inflammation, blood sugar dysregulation, and the real potential of peptides and GLP-1s for listeners...

Stress doesn't stay in your head — it travels through your heart, your organs, and every cell in your body, quietly driving symptoms most people never connect to how they're feeling inside. That exhaustion, that tension, that body that won't settle: it's not weakness. It's your nervous system keeping score. Daniel Zavrel, founder of Consciouz and creator of the ConsciouzScan method, has spent 30 y...

Grief doesn't always break you down. Sometimes it breaks you open — and sends you looking for answers you never would have found otherwise. George Wiseman spent nearly a decade caregiving for his wife as lupus slowly took her, running $300,000 into debt, and losing almost everything. What came after her passing, including one piece of information that arrived too late, became the turning point tha...

Think weight loss is just willpower? Dr. Brandon Howard, hospitalist and regenerative metabolism expert, breaks down why GLP-1 drugs lose effectiveness, how insulin resistance quietly destroys vascular and organ health, and what next-generation therapies are evolving. He covers the real pillars behind lasting metabolic health — diet, hydration, movement, and inflammation control — and why physicia...

Losing a parent can split your life into a before and an after, and no one warns you how physical that grief becomes. You hold it together for everyone else until the day a pan of food slips from your hands, and you collapse with it. If someone at home is rushing you to move on, that is not a weakness. It is a signal. Sammie DeMarco, a certified life coach, walked through devastating loss inside a...

She is also a medical thriller author and upcoming TV host. In this episode, Jenny exposes the real impact of staffing shortages, provider burnout, and protocol delays — and gives you a practical...

Aging begins decades before most people realize it — not at middle age, but in childhood, as the body's energy systems slowly start to decline. If you feel tired, foggy, or just not like yourself and your doctor says everything looks normal, you are not imagining it. Dr. Hany Demian, a board-certified spine surgeon and longevity specialist, explains what is actually happening inside your body and...

Everything you've been told about menopause is only half the story. Registered dietitian Juliana Vocca — with over 20 years of clinical experience — reveals what's really happening in your body during this transition and why the most common advice makes it harder, not easier. From hormonal shifts and muscle loss to protein intake, hydration, and resistance training, Juliana lays out a practical, n...

When war, exile, and loss scattered her across six countries, Miranda Hirezi-Mugnier discovered that the one thing no one could take from her was the home she carried within. In her award-winning memoir Scattered Yet Whole, she explores how love, loss, faith, and cultural displacement shaped her understanding of identity and belonging. Miranda shares what it truly means to remain whole when life s...

Are you exhausted from giving too much? Harvard and MIT-trained neuroscientist Dr. Tony Nader joins us to unpack why caring from anxiety or obligation leads to burnout — and how shifting to conscious, grounded caring releases feel-good hormones that actually boost your well-being.

Dr. Theresa DeLorenzo — a registered dietitian, yoga therapist, and marathon runner — joins the show to dismantle the diet-culture rules that keep you exhausted, guilty, and disconnected from your own body.

Spiritual awakening doesn't always arrive quietly — sometimes it arrives as the slow collapse of everything that used to make sense. Your relationships shift, your career loses its pull, your identity starts to feel like a costume. That feeling is not a personal failure. Internationally acclaimed intuitive healer and bestselling author Inna Segal has spent more than two decades helping people unde...

The men's mental health crisis is real — and mostly silent. Victor Bretting, 8th-generation Texan, construction executive, and author of The Man That I Would Become, built B-Tex Ranch into more than a hunting destination. It became a sanctuary — with 60+ donated hunts for veterans with PTSD, at-risk youth, and families in hard seasons. In this episode, Victor shares what five decades of leadership...

The Bible isn't a collection of disconnected stories — it's one unfolding plan.

Mark unpacks why Israel was chosen, how Jesus fulfills centuries of promises, and why God's patience and mercy define His cha...

Fear is rarely loud—it is often subtle, shaping our decisions, limiting our potential, and quietly defining the boundaries of our lives.

Together, they reveal practical lessons on leadership, resilience, and the path toward fearlessness. Deepak Paras...
