Dr. Kelsey Barraza: Unlocking Fertility: A Holistic Approach to Overcoming Infertility

Learn how to address infertility with holistic methods. Discover root causes and actionable strategies to enhance your fertility journey. Infertility can feel overwhelming, leaving many couples searching for answers and solutions. In this post, we'll explore a holistic approach to fertility that addresses the underlying causes rather than just the symptoms. Dr. Kelsey Barraza shares her insights on optimizing reproductive health through natural methods and personalized care. Understanding the Fertility Landscape Infertility is increasingly common, affecting a significant number of couples trying to conceive. Many turn to conventional methods like IVF and medications, often without considering the root causes of their struggles. Dr. Kelsey Barraza emphasizes the importance of examining all aspects of health, not just reproductive systems. The Importance of a Holistic Approach Dr. Barraza founded New Eve to help couples navigate their fertility journeys, focusing on the idea that optimal health leads to improved fertility. Her practice caters to a diverse range of clients, from those trying to conceive naturally to those who have faced years of infertility challenges. By addressing the body as a whole, she aims to remove barriers to conception, allowing the body to restore its natural fertility. Common Root Causes of Infertility In her practice, Dr. Barraza identifies several common root causes that can interfere with fertility. Understanding these can empower couples to make informed decisions about their health. 1. Environmental Toxins - Why This Matters: The environment plays a significant role in reproductive health. Exposure to toxins, particularly in our homes, can disrupt hormonal balance and affect fertility. 2. Nutritional Deficiencies - Why This Matters: Nutrition is a crucial component of overall health and fertility. Deficiencies in key vitamins and minerals can hinder reproductive capabilities. 3. Gut Health - Why This Matters: The gut microbiome significantly impacts overall health, including hormonal balance. A disrupted microbiome can lead to various health issues, including infertility.

Rachel Scheer: Building An Empire Through Risk, Resilience and Solutions

Today's guest is a certified functional medicine practitioner with a degree in nutrition science and dietetics. She spent years battling her own gut health issues that nearly required surgery, and in the process, she discovered the root cause approach to healing. From a $50,000-a-year dietitian job saddled with $60,000 in student debt, Rachel Scheer launched a side business in 2017 that within years scaled into a multi-million-dollar practice. Today, Rachel not just running a thriving functional medicine clinic—she built an accredited institute that trains the next generation of practitioners, created a popular gut health supplement line, and is launching a 50-state HRT and peptide clinic. Rachel represents what happens when you stop trying to fit into a conventional box and instead lean into your own story. In this episode, we dig into how vulnerability and storytelling became Rachel's greatest marketing tool; the nervous system science that transformed her understanding of why chronic disease happens; the bold business decision to hire coaches and reinvest every penny; and the operational lessons she's learned building a team-driven, scaled practice. We also talk about the ethics and integrity required in a booming functional medicine space, how she sequences healing in her clients (nervous system first, gut health second, detoxification third), and why she believes the combination of small daily stressors—not one root cause—is what drives most chronic illness. This is a candid conversation about transformation, the power of saying your own story out loud, and why profit and purpose are not mutually exclusive.

Elina Fuhrman: Curing Cancer WITHOUT Chemo or Toxic Drugs

Today's guest has lived several lifetimes rolled into one. Elina Fuhrman escaped the former Soviet Union at age twenty, just weeks after the Berlin Wall fell, came to the United States, and built a career as a CNN journalist and war correspondent reporting from Afghanistan in the aftermath of 9/11. Then came a diagnosis of aggressive breast cancer — and a choice. Told she wouldn't survive without chemotherapy, Elina trusted her intuition, declined the standard of care, and charted her own healing path. That journey became Soupelina, her plant-based healing soup company, her book Soupelina's Soup Cleanse, and The Healing Journey — her method for guiding women through cancer naturally. Today she is 17 years cancer-free. In this conversation, Matt and Elina dig into: * Her escape from the Soviet Union and the resilience that shaped everything after * Reporting from war zones for CNN — and what journalism taught her about asking better questions * The diagnosis that changed her life, and why she chose a different path than the one prescribed * How a personal healing protocol became a business, a book, and a movement * What conventional medicine misses about whole-person healing — and what providers can learn from patients like her * This episode shares Elina's personal experience and perspective. It is not medical advice.

Dr. Lisa Chism: Sex + Breast Cancer + Menopause

What happens when a nurse practitioner decides to own her niche — completely? In this episode of The Business of Medicine, Matt Schneider sits down with Dr. Lisa Chism, DNP, APRN, FAANP, FAAN — a two-time AJN Book of the Year award winner, Certified Menopause Practitioner, and certified sexuality counselor with over 25 years of experience as a nurse practitioner. Dr. Chism has built a remarkable specialized practice at the intersection of three underserved — and highly profitable — clinical areas: sexual health, breast cancer survivorship, and menopause care. She shares how deep specialization isn't just better for patients, it's the blueprint for building a practice that's virtually impossible to commoditize. In this conversation, you'll hear how Dr. Chism carved out her lane in women's health, why menopause and sexual health are areas most clinics ignore at their own financial peril, and what it actually takes for nurse practitioners to step into their full potential as clinicians and business owners. Whether you're an NP looking to launch or grow a specialty practice, or a clinic owner trying to understand where the next wave of patient demand is heading — this episode is for you. About Dr. Lisa Chism: Dr. Lisa Astalos Chism (DNP, APRN, BC, NCMP, CSC, FAANP, FAAN) is a nationally recognized nurse practitioner specializing in breast health, menopause, and sexual health. She is a Fellow of both the American Association of Nurse Practitioners and the American Academy of Nursing, and the author of The Doctor of Nursing Practice: A Guidebook for Role Development and Professional Issues.

Bonnie Barnes: How she's helping 10M people with Ketones

What happens when a competitive bodybuilder, NLP-trained coach, and exogenous ketone expert makes it her mission to change 10,000,000 lives, you invite her onto the BOM podcast to give her a platform. Bonnie Barnes is a health and wellness coach with over 20 years in the field — starting as a personal trainer for triathletes, evolving into competitive bodybuilding, and eventually becoming a passionate advocate for brain health, women's hormonal wellness, and exogenous ketones. She's also the founder of Let's GO! and works with athletes — including youth — at a performance training facility, blending nutritional strategy with mental resilience coaching. In this conversation, Matt and Bonnie cover a lot of ground: how exogenous ketones work at the cellular level, why women in particular are underserved when it comes to brain energy during hormonal shifts, how GLP-1 medications interact with ketone metabolism, and what the research out of Yale with Dr. Ben Bikman is revealing about brain fuel and performance. They also go deep on mindset — NLP, proximity, the cost of superficial relationships, and why the mental game is the make-or-break variable in health, business, and life. This episode is for anyone who wants to understand what's really going on between their ears — and do something about it.
