The Advisor with Stacey Chillemi

You added it to your morning smoothie because you heard it would help your skin, your joints, your gut. And you have been dealing with bloating, breakouts, or hormonal disruption that you cannot trace to anything obvious. Dia Schwarz is a neuroscientist and integrative medicine expert who has spent years studying what is actually inside most collagen supplements — the residues, hidden fillers, and...

You have been told to raise your vibration. Stay positive. Choose joy. And you are exhausted from performing wellness while something underneath keeps hurting. Toxic positivity does not heal — it bypasses. And the difference between spiritual practices that actually change your nervous system and ones that just make you feel briefly better before the heaviness comes back is something most spiritua...

You have optimized your calendar. Hired the help. Built the systems. And you are still hitting the same wall — exhausted, stuck, and quietly wondering why success feels more like a trap than a destination. Dr. Nona Djavid left chiropractic medicine to build a multi-seven-figure business and discovered along the way that the bottleneck was never the schedule. It was the nervous system running under...

Every time you try to meditate your mind immediately starts running in seventeen directions and you conclude you are simply not built for stillness. That conclusion is wrong. Phyllis Coletta says a mind that will not sit still is not a broken mind — it is a puppy mind doing exactly what untrained puppy minds do. And you would never punish a puppy for being a puppy. What she shares about the two-mi...

You have been curious about chakras and breathwork but the conversation always seems to require a level of spiritual fluency you have not had time to develop. Mike Wood strips all of that away. No pedigree required. No guru energy. Just a clear and practical breakdown of how your most active chakra is affecting your anxiety right now, how a 30-minute pranayama practice resets a nervous system stuc...

The old approach to aesthetics was about chasing wrinkles — fill this, freeze that, fix the surface while the underlying tissue keeps aging underneath. The smartest patients are done with that game. Regenerative medicine in aesthetics is something fundamentally different — treatments that actually rebuild skin, reawaken hair follicles, and restore the tissue itself rather than temporarily masking...

Most trauma treatment addresses the brain as one unified system. Fredric Schiffer, MD says that is exactly where conventional approaches miss the opportunity. Dual-Brain Psychology works with the reality that trauma, anxiety, and addiction often live more powerfully in one hemisphere than the other — and that activating the healthier side of your brain can produce emotional relief that years of sy...

BPC-157. TB-500. GLP-1s. The peptide conversation has gone mainstream and most of the people jumping in are doing so without understanding what can go wrong, what the unregulated research peptide market actually means for safety, and why the perfect protocol still fails when the emotional and psychological work has not been done alongside it. Nahum Justin Vizakis has been in the biohacking and pep...

The moment you start researching IVF or egg freezing the information becomes overwhelming fast — timelines, success rates, genetic testing, AI in labs, and a hundred decisions that feel impossibly high-stakes. Most fertility content makes the fear worse before it makes it better. Dr. Banafsheh Kashani is a double board-certified fertility specialist who has spent her career doing the opposite — ta...

You are putting in the work. Training consistently, pushing hard, showing up even when it is uncomfortable. And you are waking up stiff, sore, and wondering how much longer your body is going to cooperate. Tarek Chouja is the co-founder of the Functional Training Institute and he has a direct answer for that question — it is not your age and it is not your effort. It is that breath, posture, mobil...

There are people you meet and immediately know — this was not random. The connection that felt inevitable. The relationship that blew your life open in ways you did not ask for and could not explain. The person who cracked your heart and somehow made you more yourself on the other side of the breaking. Inna Segal calls those soul contracts — and what she shares about what they actually are strippe...

What if “awakening” isn’t about escaping your life…it’s about finally showing up for it—work, money, relationships, all of it? ⚡ Host Lisa Urbanski sits down with sacred leadership guide Aeon Archer to break down a no-fluff version of spirituality you can use in real time—on messy road trips, in hard conversations, and on the days you don’t feel inspired at all. You’ll learn: ✨ How to use breath...

The tight jaw that never fully releases. The chest heaviness that arrives before you can name why. The fatigue that shows up specifically in your shoulders or your lower back. Those are not random symptoms. They are your body keeping score of every emotion that never got expressed, every grief that got swallowed, every truth that stayed unspoken because the timing was never right. Dr. Evette Rose...

They shut down every conversation about getting help. They minimize, deflect, or disappear. And you have been told there is nothing you can do unless they choose recovery themselves. Attorney Mark Astor says that is not the whole story. The Marchman Act, the Baker Act, and guardianship proceedings exist specifically for the families watching someone they love spiral toward a crisis that waiting wi...

Every time you try to meditate your mind immediately starts running in seventeen directions and you conclude you are simply not built for stillness. That conclusion is wrong. Phyllis Coletta says a mind that will not sit still is not a broken mind — it is a puppy mind doing exactly what untrained puppy minds do. And you would never punish a puppy for being a puppy. What she shares about the two-mi...

You have accepted tired as your baseline. You work around it, apologize for it, and secretly wonder if this is just who you are now. Peggy Moore says it is not. It is a hormone and blood sugar problem that has been quietly ambushing your energy while you blamed your schedule, your age, or your willpower. As an energy coach who built her Tired to Thriving method specifically for women in midlife sh...

You have the symptoms — the fatigue that does not lift, the brain fog, the weight that will not budge, the puffiness that has become your new normal. Your labs came back normal. Your doctor said you are fine. And you are still sitting in a body that does not feel fine at all. Carolyn Zaumeyer has spent her career working specifically in that gap — the difference between a thyroid that is technical...

The conversation around toxic masculinity has made a lot of men defensive — and understandably so. Because the framing has felt like an accusation rather than a diagnosis. Nahum Justin Vizakis reframes it entirely. Toxic masculinity is not a character flaw. It is the behavioral output of unhealed wounds, unprocessed emotions, and an ego that learned early that vulnerability was weakness and domina...

You know what you want to say. You have the knowledge, the ideas, the experience. And something in the delivery keeps losing people before you finish the thought. Derek Borthwick has spent his career studying exactly what creates magnetic communication — and what he has found is that confidence, connection, and influence are not personality traits you either have or do not. They are skills built f...

The weight comes off. And so does something else — the motivation, the pleasure, the drive that made life feel worth optimizing in the first place. Dia Schwarz is a neuroscientist and integrative medicine expert who has been watching the GLP-1 boom with serious concern — not because weight loss is wrong but because the mechanism flattening appetite is the same one regulating dopamine, reward, and...

You mentioned it to your doctor. The painful sex. The leaking when you sneeze. The complete absence of desire that has been quietly changing your relationship and your sense of yourself. And you were told it is just part of aging — or handed a pamphlet and sent home. Helen Stearns is a Doctor of Nursing Practice who specializes in exactly the symptoms most providers rush past — and she is done wit...

You are physically present. Going through the motions. And something essential is missing — the feeling of being truly seen, truly connected, truly there with each other rather than just adjacent. Aaron Mandelbaum has spent his career studying that gap — the difference between intimacy driven by ego, performance, and habit and intimacy that comes from genuine soul-led presence. What he shares abou...

You have been asking why. Why did this happen. Why did you make it through when others did not. Why the weight of what you survived will not turn into something that feels like it was worth surviving for. Dr. Carter Check is a healthcare ethicist, veteran, and moral injury expert who works specifically at that question — the space between enduring something hard and finding a reason that makes the...

It is 2am. Your brain is running through everything that went wrong today, everything that could go wrong tomorrow, and a greatest hits compilation of embarrassing moments from three years ago. You know the thoughts are not helpful. Knowing has not stopped them. Phyllis Coletta calls this the puppy mind in overdrive — and what she shares about why your brain keeps looping stressful thoughts even w...

Most leadership culture is built on cortisol — the urgency, the pressure, the fear of falling short that keeps people performing but quietly burning out. Mike Wood has spent his career making the case for a completely different neurochemical foundation — one built on oxytocin, the chemistry of trust, connection, and genuine belonging that creates both better humans and better business outcomes. Th...
