What if everything you’ve been told about health is backwards? ⚠️
What if your symptoms aren’t the problem — but your body’s attempt to save you?

On The Next Fix, Ryan Penley sits down with R.L. Malpica, holistic health educator and creator of the E.A.T. Method, for a grounded conversation on toxicity, terrain theory, and why the body is always fighting to restore balance.

R.L. shares his personal journey through chronic health issues and how learning to listen to his body became the turning point. Together, they unpack how alcohol is one of the most toxic substances we consume, why cooked and processed foods create internal stress, and how the body shifts into survival mode the moment toxicity is introduced.

The conversation challenges conventional nutrition narratives and reinforces a powerful truth: real healing doesn’t happen through extremes or overnight rewiring. Instead, incremental, sustainable changes — rooted in energy efficiency, avoiding acid-forming foods, and reducing toxicity — create lasting results.

This episode reframes wellness, recovery, and personal responsibility, while also previewing R.L.’s upcoming work on detoxing not just from food — but from societal conditioning and belief systems.

If you’re questioning what “healthy” really means, this conversation will challenge you. 🌱

What if the very circumstance that once tried to destroy you…☠️
is the same force that can build an extraordinary life? 🏆

In this episode, I sit down with Randy Gage — Speaker Hall of Famer, bestselling author, and one of the most provocative voices in mindset and prosperity — to unpack a truth most people miss:

⚡ The tenacity of addiction is not the problem.
⚡ The direction you aim it is.

We talk about why so many people look successful on the outside yet feel empty on the inside…
Why achievement without purpose always leaves you wanting more…
And how the same obsession, drive, and intensity that once fueled self-destruction can be redirected into meaning, contribution, and legacy.

This conversation is about:
✨ Identity shifts
✨ Purpose over appearances
✨ Turning pain into power
✨ Paying it forward instead of numbing out
✨ Building a life that actually feels good to live

If you’ve ever thought, “There has to be more than this” — this episode will meet you right there.
