The Advisor with Stacey Chillemi

You've done the therapy. The healing work. The inner child work. The meditation. And there's still something underneath it all that won't budge — a heaviness, a fog, a pattern that keeps showing up no matter what you do. What if the block isn't psychological? What if it's energetic — stored in your body and your lineage in ways that talk therapy was never designed to reach? Shaman Sondra Bailey ha...

You are eating well. Exercising. Sleeping. And still gaining weight. After 40 that is not a willpower problem — it is a biology problem. Your hormones have shifted in ways that make everything that worked before suddenly work against you. Coach Boza spent years as a professional bodybuilder mastering exactly what the body does under hormonal stress — then built his entire practice around helping p...

Bloating, mood swings, irregular cycles, stubborn weight, exhaustion that won't lift — you've been treating these as separate problems. They're not. They're the same conversation your gut and your hormones have been having without you. Most doctors treat each symptom in isolation and never look at the system driving all of them. Dr. Sonal Bhatia trained as an integrative MD and an Ayurvedic healer...

You talk yourself out of your own feelings. You ask everyone else what they think before you trust what you know. You've second-guessed yourself so many times that you're not even sure anymore what your instincts actually sound like. Self-distrust isn't a personality trait — it's something that gets built, layer by layer, usually starting long before you had any say in the matter. Jennifer Urezzio...

Inflammation is at the root of almost every chronic condition — fatigue, joint pain, brain fog, autoimmune issues, slow recovery — and most people are managing symptoms while the fire underneath keeps burning. George Wiseman has spent 40 years researching a different approach. As the inventor of the AquaCure and a pioneer of Brown's Gas technology, he's developed a home-based tool that works with...

If you've tried yoga, stretching, or fitness and still feel stuck — this episode will finally tell you why. Host Stacey Chillemi welcomes Avita Yoga founder Jeff Bailey to break down the three body constitutions that determine how your body responds to movement, pain, and flexibility — and what to do about it starting today. You'll learn: 🔑 The 3 Avita Yoga constitutions and which one is yours ⚠️...

Not a setback. Not a detour. Everything — gone. The relationship, the identity, the version of yourself you'd built your whole life around. Most people have no roadmap for that level of loss because nobody talks about what real rebuilding looks like from the ground up. Candi Keffeler does. She's lived it, written about it, and come out the other side with something most people who haven't been the...

A cancer diagnosis changes everything in an instant — the appointments, the decisions, the fear, the waiting. And in the middle of all of it, nobody stops to tell you that what's happening in your mind is directly affecting what's happening in your body. Not as a motivational concept. As a clinical reality. Avinoam Lerner has spent his career at exactly that intersection — as a cancer recovery spe...

Your child is anxious in ways you weren't at their age. Overwhelmed by a schedule you built to give them every advantage. Retreating into screens in ways that feel beyond your control. And you're doing your absolute best with tools that were never designed for the world your child is actually growing up in. Most parents aren't failing their kids. They're just missing information nobody ever taught...

You've sat in the therapy chair for years. You've named it, traced it back, understood where it came from — and it's still there. That gap between knowing your trauma and actually being free of it isn't a failure of insight. It's a failure of location. Trauma doesn't live in your memory. It lives in your body — in patterns of tension, shutdown, and survival that talking alone was never designed to...

Angela Ardolino was told her rheumatoid arthritis was something she'd manage for the rest of her life. She didn't accept that. What she discovered instead — through years of research into cannabis and functional mushrooms — didn't just put her own condition into remission. It led to peer-reviewed research proving that functional mushrooms can reverse dementia in senior dogs. That's not a wellness...

Have you ever genuinely decided to change — and then watched yourself slide right back into the same pattern? That's not a willpower problem. That's your nervous system doing exactly what it was trained to do. Host Lisa Urbanski sits down with nervous system and behavior coach Brian Osborne to walk you through the science of why change is so hard — and give you practical tools to finally make it s...

Most people who are struggling with depression or anxiety have already tried the medication. They've already done the therapy. And they're still not better — not because they're not trying, but because something biological is being missed. This episode could be the turning point you've been waiting for. Host Stacey Chillemi sits down with Dr. Doreen Zarfati, board-certified psychiatrist and Chief...

While the rest of the world was home in lockdown, ER nurses like Martha Hoy were suiting up in garbage bags, watching colleagues break down in supply closets, and making impossible decisions with no roadmap and no relief. Nobody came to save them. They just kept showing up. Martha has written the account most frontline workers were never given space to tell — what it actually cost to be the person...

Hearing loss doesn't just affect how you hear — it affects how you think, connect, and feel about yourself. In this episode, host Lisa Urbanski talks with Michael Leung, founder of The Flow Group, about the real emotional and cognitive costs of untreated hearing loss — and why an affordable, stigma-free bone conduction device is quietly changing lives. 🧠 The connection between hearing loss, memor...

Been told your fertility chances are almost zero? This episode helps you understand why “no more options” may not always be the full story. Host Lisa Urbanski talks with world-renowned fertility specialist Dr. Sherman Silber about difficult infertility cases, failed IVF, donor eggs, gestational surrogacy, ICSI, ovarian tissue transplantation, menopause, hormone health, and emerging stem cell resea...

You're getting the hours — so why are you still running on empty? Stacey Chillemi sits down with Colin Lawlor, CEO of Sleep.ai and globally recognized sleep science authority, to uncover what your sleep is really telling you about your health — and what you can do about it starting tonight. You'll learn: 🧠 Why quality sleep matters far more than the number of hours you log ⚠️ The startling connec...

You've built the life that was supposed to feel good. The career, the accomplishments, the forward momentum — and underneath all of it is a tiredness that sleep doesn't fix and weekends don't touch. That kind of exhaustion doesn't come from overworking. It comes from disconnection — from yourself, from your purpose, from the part of you that got quietly left behind somewhere on the way to successf...

Most people think their eating problem is about food. It's not — and once you understand what's really happening, everything changes. Host Lisa Urbanski sits down with Shirley Billigmeier, founder of the Innergetics Method and author of Inner Eating, who has spent decades helping people rebuild the one thing every diet destroys: trust in their own body. In this episode, you'll learn: 🧠 Why willpo...

What if your emotions are not random — but messages from deeper parts of you trying to heal? Host Lisa Urbanski talks with Inna Segal about archetypes, emotional patterns, inner child healing, ancestry, the body, and how old wounds can repeat until we learn how to understand them with compassion. You’ll learn: 🧠 How archetypes influence your emotions and choices 👧 Why your inner child may still...

What if healing doesn't happen in a single breakthrough — but in quiet, almost invisible moments you almost miss? Host Lisa Urbanski sits down with Candi Keffeler, author of Never Too Far Gone, to talk about what real recovery looks like after decades of domestic abuse, a toxic seven-year relationship, and a breast cancer diagnosis at 50. In this episode you'll learn: 🧠 Why you don't need a drama...

Most of us spend years searching for the one thing we can't name — the feeling of truly belonging somewhere. Host Stacey Chillemi sits down with James Hayden and Dawni Rae Shaw, two people who discovered through Ancestry DNA that they share the same father — and 10 other siblings they never knew existed. In this episode you'll learn:🧬 How a single DNA test can completely rewrite your sense of ide...

If you’re flexible but constantly in pain, this episode will help you understand what your body may really need. Host Lisa Urbanski talks with physical therapist Tonya Juge about hypermobility, Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, joint instability, chronic pain, and why more stretching is not always the answer. You’ll learn: 💪 Why flexibility does not always equal strength 🦴 How hypermobility can create pai...

You've been showing up to class. Holding the poses. Pushing through the tightness because that's what you were told would eventually release it. And you're still stiff, still aching, still waiting for the flexibility that was supposed to come. The problem almost certainly isn't your body. It's that traditional yoga was designed for performance and aesthetics — not for restoring the nervous system...

Most of the patterns driving your decisions, your reactions, and your relationships weren't chosen by you. They were handed down — absorbed from family systems, early experiences, and environments you had no power to edit — and they've been running quietly in the background ever since. The reason they're so hard to break isn't lack of motivation or discipline. It's that most people try to change t...
