    How Biohacking Family and Ancestral Wisdom Are Reshaping Health
    Dec 24 2025
    What if the future of health, family, and success isn’t about choosing between tradition and technology—but integrating both to build a wildly better life? In this episode of A Wilder Life, Eric discusses how a once-315-pound entrepreneur and his health-obsessed partner turned their personal health crises into powerful family transformations, award-winning documentaries, and a bold rethinking of what it means to truly thrive in the modern world. Together, they challenge the biohacking status quo, call out the flaws in traditional education, and share the essential mindset shift every health seeker needs to make. Key Takeaways: → Why long-term health begins with foundational biology—not fast fixes. → How their family overcame obesity, hormone imbalances, and misdiagnosed childhood illness. → The truth about homeschooling, screen time, and raising free-thinking kids. → What most people get wrong about biohacking, testing, and coaching. → How to stay rooted in ancient wisdom while embracing modern wellness tools. Quotes from Anthony Lolli: "To a hammer, everything looks like a nail. Everyone in the health space thinks their tool is the answer—but you’ve got to do the work and figure out what really works for you." "Self-help books don’t help if you can’t help yourself. I needed a coach to break through—and most people do." "If you want to be a pro at health, just like a pro athlete, you need a pro coach. One size does not fit all." Quotes from TereZa Lolli: "They told me our son had autism. But after nine misdiagnoses, we found out it was mold and glyphosate. You have to become your own health detective." "Biohacking is only powerful when it's personalized. Your DNA, your toxins, your protocols—it has to be built for you." "I grew up in Armenia with no screen time and no doctors. That childhood taught me creativity, discipline, and self-trust—and that’s what I want for my kids." About Anthony and TereZa Lolli: Anthony and TereZa Lolli are media entrepreneurs and health revolutionaries behind a growing collection of life-changing documentaries, including From Fat Lolli to Six Pack Lolli, S.H.I.E.L.D., and Biohack Yourself. After transforming their own lives and those of their children, they’ve become leading voices in the movement to merge ancestral wisdom with cutting-edge wellness, and they continue to share real, actionable health knowledge through film, print, and family-led media.

    Why Kids Rebel and How to Guide Them with Ancient Parenting Wisdom
    Dec 17 2025
    What if emotional safety—not discipline—is the real foundation of powerful parenting? In this episode of A Wilder Life, Eric discusses how parenting, emotional resilience, and childhood trauma shape the adults we become. Joined by children’s author and emotional healing expert Angela Legh, they explore how to raise emotionally intelligent kids, close the “hindsight window” on pain, and even find gratitude for life’s hardest moments. Drawing from both modern psychology and tribal wisdom, this deeply personal conversation is a masterclass in conscious parenting. Key Takeaways: → How kids interpret parental sarcasm and shame—and why it matters. → Why vulnerability and authenticity build stronger parent-child bonds. → How to shorten the emotional "hindsight window" after trauma. → What soul contracts reveal about our relationships and healing journeys. → Why teaching emotional resilience is the best gift we can give our kids. Quotes from Angela Legh: "Anytime you point your finger in blame, you’re giving your power away." "An emotion isn’t negative or positive—it’s energy. How you deal with it can be." "Your child chose you and their other parent for a reason. Their soul came here to grow." About Angela Legh: Angela Legh is a transformational children’s author and emotional wellness educator. Best known for the Bella Santini Chronicles, she helps kids and parents alike build emotional resilience through storytelling and spiritual tools.

In this episode of A Wilder Life, Eric dives into the fascinating and controversial world of Human Design with leading expert Emma Dunwoody. What begins as a conversation with healthy skepticism evolves into a deep exploration of identity, fulfillment, and the surprising accuracy of Human Design—even down to the minute of your birth.

  • Why Unresolved Trauma Makes Us Sick Part 2

    Why Unresolved Trauma Makes Us Sick Part 2
    Nov 12 2025
    Can trauma be resolved in just one session—and are we mistaking emotional overwhelm for mental health progress?In Part 2 of Eric's interview with Dr. Christine Gibson, they dive deep into the evolving landscape of trauma, emotional regulation, and the societal systems that are unintentionally keeping us stuck. From navigating the influence of media-driven fear to redefining what mental resilience looks like in modern times, this conversation challenges conventional thinking and offers grounded, transformative tools for change.Key Takeaways:→ We may be safer than ever, yet more traumatized—media-driven fear may be rewiring our nervous systems.→ Modern trauma often stems not from immediate danger but from chronic exposure to perceived threats and disconnection.→ Secondary gain and societal rewards may inadvertently encourage people to remain in states of trauma or dysfunction.→ Techniques like EFT, brainspotting, and perspective shifting offer accessible, fast-acting tools for self-regulation.→ Dissolving ego and enhancing mental flexibility may be more vital than simply seeking safety.Quotes from Dr. Christine Gibson:● “The opposite of trauma isn’t safety. It’s having choice—mental flexibility in how we respond.”● “We’ve taught people it’s okay to feel at a 10 out of 10 all the time, but we forgot to teach them how to turn the volume down.”● “Trauma therapy isn’t just about finding the moment of trauma. It’s what you do after that makes the difference.” About Dr. Christine Gibson:Dr. Christine Gibson is a trauma physician, author, and educator with 25 years of experience in medicine and a deep commitment to equity and transdisciplinary solutions. She’s the author of The Modern Trauma Toolkit, founder of Safer Spaces Training, and a pioneering voice in bridging ancient healing with contemporary mental health strategies.

  • Why Unresolved Trauma Makes Us Sick Part 1

    Why Unresolved Trauma Makes Us Sick Part 1
    Nov 5 2025
    What if the root of chronic illness, anxiety, and burnout isn’t just in your mind — but in your nervous system? In this episode of A Wilder Life, Eric discusses how trauma lives in the body, the overlooked science behind healing, and why resolving emotional pain might be the most effective form of healthcare. Joined by Dr. Christine Gibson — trauma therapist, physician, and author of The Modern Trauma Toolkit — they explore why trauma isn’t about what happened, but what your body still believes is happening, and how to reclaim regulation in a dysregulated world. Key Takeaways:→ Trauma is a biological loop, not just a psychological event.→ Chronic conditions like diabetes and high blood pressure can be deeply tied to unresolved trauma.→ Many of us are stuck in fight, flight, or freeze without knowing it.→ Healing starts by widening your “window of tolerance” and accessing safety signals.→ Singing, touch, and interoception aren’t “soft”—they’re survival tools we’ve forgotten. Quotes from Dr. Christine Gibson:● "Trauma is not what happened to you. It’s what gets stuck in your body afterward."● "Treating trauma shifted my patients’ blood pressure, diabetes, even chronic pain. Their bodies remembered how to heal."● "We’ve always known how to regulate — we’ve just been conditioned to forget. It’s time to remember." Dr. Christine Gibson Bio:Dr. Christine Gibson is a Canadian physician, trauma therapist, and educator with a deep commitment to making trauma science accessible. She is the author of The Modern Trauma Toolkit and widely known as “TikTok Trauma Doc,” where her short-form videos help millions navigate nervous system regulation and healing.
