For too long, parents have been told that when a child is diagnosed with cancer, the only thing that matters is surviving chemotherapy. Nutrition? Not important. Side effects? Just part of the process.
But what if that isn’t the full story?
In honor of Childhood Cancer Awareness Month, Bethany sat down with her good friend, Season Johnson, Functional Nutritional Therapy Practitioner and founder of KICKcancER, to explore the intersection of conventional cancer treatment and holistic healing. This conversation covers everything from the emotional toll of a pediatric diagnosis to practical tools that empower families to create an environment where cancer cannot thrive. When we address holistic care through nutrition, detox, emotional healing, and faith—everything shifts.

In today’s episode of Grounded Wellness, our Holistic Esthetician, Courtney, is guiding you through a mindful meditation designed to help you ease into your luteal phase with intention.
This phase of your monthly cycle, which occurs between ovulation and menstruation, is your inner autumn and often gets misunderstood. For many, it’s a time of heightened emotions and a pull inward – it’s common to feel more sensitive, introspective or even irritable during this time.
But what if we could learn to reframe our experience of the luteal phase and start to see it in a more empowering light?
Today’s episode is designed to offer extra support in this extra sensitive phase – with gentle affirmations to support emotional well-being and inner reflection, holistic skincare tips to restore balance and practical guidance to sync your lifestyle with your cycle’s natural rhythms.
Whether you’re navigating emotional shifts, hormonal breakouts, or simply craving a slower pace – this meditation is here for you. Return to this meditation any time you need a gentle nudge to love the luteal phase and give yourself permission to pause.

In this episode of Grounded Wellness, Bethany sits down with Emily Detrick, an integrative nutrition health coach who has helped tens of thousands of women balance their hormones naturally. After years of struggling with the side effects of hormonal birth control, painful periods, and hormone imbalances, Emily has made it her mission to help women reclaim their cycles and feel at home in their bodies again.
Together, they unpack the biggest myths about women’s health — from the lie that PMS is “normal” to the overlooked truth that food, stress, and daily habits play a bigger role in hormone balance than most women have ever been taught. But this isn’t just a takedown of the pill and the medical system. It’s a hopeful conversation filled with practical tips and empowering science that every woman deserves to know.
If you’ve ever felt trapped by your period, out of sync with your body, or dismissed by a doctor, this conversation will leave you with practical tips to feel better and live in rhythm with your cycle.

Not all meat is created equal and most of what we’re sold at the grocery store is a lie.
In this episode of Grounded Wellness, Bethany sits down with her brother-in-law, Farmer Rob — founder of Primal Pastures and a practicing physician assistant. Rob brings a rare dual perspective: both from inside the medical system and from the frontlines of regenerative farming.
Together, they unravel the deep corruption of America’s meat industry: misleading labels, diseased animals, toxic feed, bleach baths, and the devastating impact these practices have on our health. But this episode isn’t just a takedown — it’s also a hopeful blueprint for what ethical, nourishing, and truly clean meat can (and should) look like.
From their humble beginnings raising 50 backyard chickens, Rob and his family have built a thriving regenerative farm rooted in transparency, integrity, and ancestral wisdom. This conversation is as shocking as it is empowering and it may just change the way you shop for meat forever.

In honor of Acne Awareness Month, we brought on a guest who’s not only deeply informed, she’s also been through it herself. Holistic nutritionist and skin health expert Maria Marlowe joins Bethany for a powerful conversation on how to heal your skin from within and why it’s time to rethink everything we’ve been told about acne.
After trying every conventional acne treatment out there, from antibiotics to birth control, Maria stumbled across something that changed everything: the healing power of food. Within five months of changing her diet and repairing her gut, her skin completely cleared. Since then, she’s spent over a decade helping others do the same through her Clear Skin Plan and research-backed nutritional guidance.
This episode covers so much — from hormone-related breakouts and inflammation to gray hairs, Botox, motherhood, and how the grocery store might secretly be working against your skin.

In this eye-opening conversation, Dr. Teo Soleymani, Stanford-trained, double board-certified dermatologist and skin cancer surgeon, joins us on our regenerative farm (under the sun) to unpack some of the most common misconceptions about sun exposure, skin cancer, and the products we’ve been told to trust.
Dr. Teo shines light (literally) on why the most deadly skin cancers don’t come from sun exposure at all. He breaks down the risks of chemical sunscreen ingredients, the truth about their absorption in the body, and how holistic sun protection starts from within.
