What does it mean to truly heal — not just manage symptoms?

In this episode, Sara sits down with Dr. Yi Song, a physician with 17 generations of Chinese medicine in her family who went on to study pathology at Brown University before returning to her roots. Dr. Song shares the six principles from her book Regeneration Effect: Sacred Wisdom for Staying Young - from recognizing your body's unique constitution to treating it like a garden, not a machine. She also opens up about her own health journey, the oral-systemic connection most doctors overlook, and the cutting-edge stem cell therapies she offers at the Zenerchi Retreat in Medellín, Colombia. If your doctor keeps telling you everything looks "normal" but something still feels off, this episode is for you.

Could the medications meant to help you actually be working against you? In this episode, Sara Klute Behn sits down with Aaron McDonough, PharmD, functional pharmacist and owner of Towncrest Pharmacy in Iowa City, Iowa, to explore the little-known world of drug-induced nutrient depletion.

Aaron breaks down how everyday medications - from cholesterol-lowering statins to common acid reducers - can silently drain the nutrients your body depends on for energy, mood, pain management, and more. He also explains why most supplement brands fall short, how to navigate the prescribing cascade, and what root-cause pharmacy actually looks like in practice. He has a helpful way of explaining a complex process in terms that are easy to understand.

Aaron is a featured expert in Your Wise Year, Sara's year-long wellness program, and will be hosting a masterclass on July 1st at 7:00 PM Central. It is not too late to join in and receive all the previous recordings.
