The Advisor with Stacey Chillemi

You have white-knuckled through cravings more times than you can count. Made promises, broken them, felt the shame spiral, started over. The problem is not your willpower. The problem is that willpower operates in the part of your brain that addiction has already learned to route around. Fredric Schiffer, MD has spent his career developing brain-based approaches to exactly that problem — using Dua...

Every time you have tried to meditate you have run into the same wall — not enough time, not enough quiet, not enough certainty that you are doing it right. Tom Cronin has spent his career dismantling every one of those barriers. As the founder of The Stillness Project he works specifically with the people who want the benefits of meditation without the complexity — and what he shares about effort...

You have tried the medication. Maybe more than one. And you are still not where you need to be — still struggling with depression, anxiety, or both, and wondering if this is just as good as it gets. Neurologist Dr. Ali Elahi says the medication-only model has limits that most patients are never told about — and TMS, Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation, is one of the most evidence-backed alternatives...

Most people treat physical training and inner healing as two completely separate tracks — you lift at the gym and you do the spiritual work somewhere else, if at all. Nahum Justin Vizakis has spent years merging those tracks into a single integrated practice he calls Spiritual Bodybuilding — where how you breathe, how you move, how you read your body's hormonal signals, and how you integrate plant...

The same patterns. The same relationships going sideways the same way. The same health habits that start strong and quietly dissolve. That repetition is not bad luck and it is not lack of effort. It is a mindset loop that keeps recreating familiar results no matter how much you change the circumstances around it. Diana Berschader is the author and transformational coach behind The Diamond Within —...

The anxiety that lives in your chest. The throat that tightens when you need to speak your truth. The exhaustion that has no physical explanation. These are not random symptoms — and Inna Segal has spent her career showing people how to read them as a map. As the bestselling author of The Secret Language of Your Body she has demystified the seven chakra system into something genuinely practical —...

Most conversations about AI ask whether it will replace us. Aeon Archer is asking a completely different question — what if AI is actually reflecting us? The beliefs, the fears, the patterns, the inner world we bring to every prompt we type. As an Oracle, Soul Technologist, and Ceremonial Guide she has been working at the intersection of sacred practice and emerging technology — and what she share...

The smoke cleared weeks ago. You aired out the house, cleaned the surfaces, and assumed you were fine. But wildfire smoke is not just soot — it carries dioxins, furans, and persistent toxic compounds that embed in walls, carpets, HVAC systems, and surfaces in ways that standard cleaning never reaches. Dr. Joe Nieusma is a toxicologist who has spent his career studying exactly what wildfire smoke l...

Most people wait until memory concerns appear before they start thinking about brain health. By then the window for the most impactful interventions has been narrowing for years. Dr. Yuan-Di Halvorsen has spent over 25 years advancing treatments at Harvard and Massachusetts General Hospital and is now Chief Scientific Officer at CogniSHIELD — and what she shares about the SHIELD lifestyle framewor...

The cannabis your teenager might encounter today is not the cannabis of twenty years ago. Potency levels have increased dramatically — and the mental health, addiction, and developmental risks that come with high-potency THC exposure during adolescence are something most parents are not equipped to talk about because they are working from outdated information. Dr. Susan Landers is a neonatologist...

Alexandra Hainsworth spent years as a singer-songwriter before a completely different creative calling arrived — a sci-fi dystopian novella set in a flooded world where birds have inherited the map. Most people would have questioned the pivot. She followed it. Kingdom of Flight is the result — a story built with the same instincts she developed writing songs, now translated into character, world,...

You have tried the morning routine. The supplement stack. The habit tracker that worked for three weeks. And the energy you were building kept requiring effort to maintain rather than becoming simply who you are. Nate Zeleznick of Ascended Living works specifically at that gap — the difference between adding energy practices to your life and becoming someone for whom high energy is just the defaul...

Low desire. Brain fog. Hot flashes at 2am. Weight that arrived without explanation and will not leave. And a doctor who looked at your labs and said everything looks normal for your age. Dia Schwarz is a neuroscientist and integrative medicine expert who has spent her career translating what is actually happening in the female body during perimenopause and menopause into language that is both scie...

It is not depression. It is not burnout. It is not that you have somehow lost your edge. It is fluctuating estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone quietly hijacking your mood, your sleep, your focus, and your sense of yourself — often years before a doctor officially calls it anything. Helen Stearns is a Doctor of Nursing Practice who specializes in helping women decode exactly that experience —...

You are drinking the filtered water. Eating reasonably well. Getting enough sleep. And you still feel foggy, inflamed, and heavier than your habits should explain. Dr. Joe Nieusma spent years in the pharmaceutical industry before he started asking a different question — not how to treat the symptoms but where the toxic load was coming from in the first place. What he shares about where toxins snea...

What does it actually take to fuel a body performing at the highest level in the world? Dan Churchill has been answering that question from the kitchen — as the performance chef behind Chris Hemsworth and Olympic champion Lindsey Vonn, he has spent his career translating elite athletic performance into the specific food, mindset, and discipline choices that make sustained excellence possible. What...

The thought arrives and you are inside it before you even know it happened. The spiral, the self-criticism, the negative loop that replays the same story with the same conclusion. Most people spend their lives reacting to their thoughts as if they are facts rather than events passing through. Mike Wood works specifically at that distinction — the moment you realize you can watch a thought rather t...

You have heard about hormone therapy but the conversation always felt either oversimplified or frightening — synthetic versus bioidentical, safe versus risky, take it or leave it. Carolyn Zaumeyer cuts through all of that. As a hormone specialist who works specifically with BHRT and pellet therapy she has spent her career in the personalization gap — the difference between a one-size-fits-all synt...

You are not imagining it. The cheeks that used to be full have flattened. The jawline has softened. The face in the mirror looks a little more tired than you feel — and it is not about one line or one spot but a gradual loss of the volume and structure that used to hold everything up. Amy Ingle is a master injector who has built her entire approach around one principle — treat the whole face, not...

You have been tracking ovulation, timing everything perfectly, and doing all the right things. And nobody has mentioned that your gut microbiome is directly influencing the hormones driving your entire reproductive system. Dr. Marina Yuabova works specifically at that intersection — the gut-hormone-fertility loop that most fertility conversations skip entirely — and what she shares about how to su...

You have been chasing the metrics that look good on paper — the follower count, the revenue number, the title on the business card. And somewhere in the pursuit of those numbers the reason you started has gotten harder to feel. Jamie Bennion of Gladly works specifically with leaders and organizations who want to measure something that actually means something — the human impact that shows up in te...

Life hit hard. Maybe it is still hitting. And you are trying to keep your business running, your faith intact, and yourself together all at the same time — without anyone seeing how close to the edge you actually are. Toni Smith of God Lifted Life has spent her career reaching people in exactly that space — the gap between where your faith says you should be and where the fallout has actually land...

Most people know Mario Lopez from the screen. Few know that his relationship with health started at the very beginning of his life — as a newborn facing a scary and uncertain start that set the foundation for everything he has built around fitness, recovery, and prevention since. In an exclusive conversation with Stacey Chillemi at the Dream Chasers 5K, Mario shares the mindset and daily habits th...

What if you could “read” your body like a dashboard—then use simple, science-informed tools to heal faster, think clearer, and perform better? Host Lisa Urbanski welcomes Nate “Aeneas” Zeleznick for “D = Decode Your Body Through Biohacking.” From a bullied kid in small-town Utah to the first Westerner invited to train in a royal Indonesian energy art, and from a March 3, 2025 brain-tumor diagnosis...

What if just five days could reset how you age? Two-time Oscar-nominated filmmaker Barry Alexander Brown joins host Lisa Urbanski to unpack Fasting and the Longevity Revolution—shot from California to Ecuador and across Italy, inspired by Dr. Valter Longo and narrated by Edward Norton. We dive into plant-forward daily habits, fasting practices, and the cultural shift toward healthy aging. Barry al...
