The Biohacking Mistake That Could Be Making You Less Healthy | Julia Smila Ep. 157

What if the biggest breakthrough in your health is not another device, supplement, or data point, but learning how to bring your mind, body, emotions, and spirit back into alignment? In this episode of A Healthy Point of View, Sam Tejada sits down with Julia Smila, certified functional nutrition practitioner and founder of the Ultimate Wellness Conference, for a powerful conversation about conscious longevity, functional medicine, nervous system regulation, biohacking, and the deeper meaning of true wellness. Julia shares how her background in biotechnology, venture capital, natural healing, meditation, and energy practices inspired her to create an experience that brings modern science and ancient wisdom together. She and Sam explore why chronic stress can quietly break down the body, why feeling well requires more than impressive health data, and why the foundations of nutrition, sleep, movement, relationships, spiritual connection, and emotional balance must come before advanced optimization. They also discuss the dangers of becoming obsessed with wearables and biohacking, why expensive technologies cannot replace consistent daily habits, how young people are being affected by modern lifestyles, and why health should be built long before symptoms appear. Julia also gives an inside look at the upcoming Ultimate Wellness Conference, taking place September 24–26 at the Faena Forum in Miami Beach, featuring leading voices in functional medicine, regenerative health, biotechnology, meditation, breathwork, sound healing, and conscious longevity. This episode is a reminder that wellness is not about fearing aging or chasing perfection. It is about living fully, reducing the stressors that interfere with your body’s natural intelligence, and using science as a tool—not as a substitute for presence, purpose, and connection. * Podcast Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ahealthypointofview [https://www.instagram.com/ahealthypointofview] Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/share/1BSxKFpPHP/?mibextid=wwXIfr [https://www.facebook.com/share/1BSxKFpPHP/?mibextid=wwXIfr] YouTube: https://youtube.com/@ahealthypointofview [https://youtube.com/@ahealthypointofview] * Sam Tejada Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sammy_tejada/ [https://www.instagram.com/sammy_tejada/] LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/samtejada [https://www.linkedin.com/in/samtejada] Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/samael.tejada [https://www.facebook.com/samael.tejada] Threads: https://www.threads.net/@sammy_tejada [https://www.threads.net/@sammy_tejada] Twitter: https://twitter.com/SamaelTejada [https://twitter.com/SamaelTejada] TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@sammy_tejada [https://www.tiktok.com/@sammy_tejada] Website: https://samtejada.com [https://samtejada.com] Podpage: https://podcast.samtejada.com [https://podcast.samtejada.com] Book: https://www.amazon.com/HOW-WIN-MODERN-WELLNESS-DELIVERING/dp/B0DDCC27RH [https://www.amazon.com/HOW-WIN-MODERN-WELLNESS-DELIVERING/dp/B0DDCC27RH] YouTube Description

Why Young People Are Getting Seriously Sick Earlier Than Ever | Corey Jacobs & Yello Pain | Ep. 156

What happens when you finally decide that your health will count? In this powerful episode of A Healthy Point of View, Sam Tejada is joined by artist, activist, and storyteller Yello Pain, alongside Liquivida partner and Winnergy founder Corey Jacobs, for an honest conversation about health awareness, personal responsibility, community impact, and creating change before life forces you to. Yello Pain shares how losing weight and improving his fitness made him feel healthier than ever, until comprehensive testing revealed low vitamin D, abnormal cholesterol levels, and, more recently, prediabetes. His experience became a wake-up call: looking healthy does not always mean everything is healthy beneath the surface. Together, Sam, Yello, and Corey explore why young people must begin prioritizing prevention, how food deserts and unhealthy cultural norms shape daily choices, and why relatable voices are essential for making health education accessible. They also discuss Yello’s upcoming book, My Health Will Count, Corey’s 16 Principles of Winnergy, and their shared mission to turn complex health information into a movement that reaches communities often left out of the longevity conversation. This episode is a reminder that you cannot improve what you do not measure, and you should look under the hood before life forces you to. * Yello Pain Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/yellopain/ [https://www.instagram.com/yellopain/] YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/yellopain [https://www.youtube.com/yellopain] * Corey Jacobs Linktree: https://linktr.ee/Coreysjacobs [https://linktr.ee/Coreysjacobs]  * Podcast Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ahealthypointofview [https://www.instagram.com/ahealthypointofview] Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/share/1BSxKFpPHP/?mibextid=wwXIfr [https://www.facebook.com/share/1BSxKFpPHP/?mibextid=wwXIfr] YouTube: https://youtube.com/@ahealthypointofview [https://youtube.com/@ahealthypointofview] * Sam Tejada Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sammy_tejada/ [https://www.instagram.com/sammy_tejada/] LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/samtejada [https://www.linkedin.com/in/samtejada] Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/samael.tejada [https://www.facebook.com/samael.tejada] Threads: https://www.threads.net/@sammy_tejada [https://www.threads.net/@sammy_tejada] Twitter: https://twitter.com/SamaelTejada [https://twitter.com/SamaelTejada] TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@sammy_tejada [https://www.tiktok.com/@sammy_tejada] Website: https://samtejada.com [https://samtejada.com] Podpage: https://podcast.samtejada.com [https://podcast.samtejada.com] Book: https://www.amazon.com/HOW-WIN-MODERN-WELLNESS-DELIVERING/dp/B0DDCC27RH [https://www.amazon.com/HOW-WIN-MODERN-WELLNESS-DELIVERING/dp/B0DDCC27RH] YouTube Description
