In this episode of The Unknown Tribe, Alex Ferri sits down with cookbook author and entrepreneur Charity Morgan to explore the deeper layers behind food, performance, and conscious choice.

What began as a personal experiment to support her NFL husband’s performance evolved into a movement that challenged assumptions about protein, strength, and what it truly means to eat well. From locker rooms to The Game Changers documentary, Charity shares how creativity, faith, and intuition transformed her kitchen into something far greater than a meal plan.

Together, they explore:

• The intersection of performance and plant-based nutrition
• Why balance matters more than labels
• The difference between vegan identity and conscious eating
• Protein myths and the power of fiber
• Food as compassion, culture, and connection
• Raising awareness without shame or dogma

This conversation moves beyond trends. It is about listening to your body, honoring culture without rigidity, and understanding that real change often begins quietly, in your own kitchen.

In this episode of The Unknown Tribe, Alex Ferri sits down with Dr. Olivia Pompa to explore what wellness can look like when it’s rooted in curiosity, personal experimentation, and common ground not extremes.

Their conversation moves from the sun-soaked rhythm of Tulum and the power of fresh local foods, into deeper territory: environmental stressors we don’t always see, the modern realities of EMFs and sleep, and why so many health conversations become unnecessarily polarized.

Together, they dive into:
– Why Mexico’s fresh ingredients (and tropical fruits) can feel so different in the body
– Practical ways to reduce nighttime exposure at home and support deeper rest
– Seed oils, nuance, and the difference between “industrialized” vs. properly extracted oils
– Mold, heavy metals, and the hidden sources that can quietly drive inflammation
– The mouth-body connection: biological dentistry, cavitations, and systemic impact
– How emotional stress can show up physically and why healing is rarely just one thing

Along the way, Dr. Olivia shares parts of her personal story and the approach behind the Pompa Program a lens focused on removing interference so the body can do what it was designed to do.

A grounded conversation about health without fear, learning without labels, and meeting yourself where you are: one change at a time.
