What happens when unapologetic faith collides with functional medicine? Today I sit down with Dr. Austin Lake—DPT, functional medicine practitioner, and creator of the Active Life program—whose straight-talk on women’s midlife health, mindset, and stewardship is…refreshing. We dig into authenticity on social media, why the Church should be the healthiest community on earth, how ancient wisdom keeps getting validated by science, and the power of your words to shape health outcomes. If you’ve ever wondered how to reconcile faith + wellness without the woo—or the dogma—this one’s for you. 00:03:32 – Vitamin D3/K2, Viral Growth & Authenticity (Functional Medicine) 00:14:54 – Faith & Wellness: A Christian Lens on Biohacking & Health 00:18:55 – Church Health Crisis: Stewardship, Pastors & Why Christians Should Be Healthier 00:37:48 – Ancient Wisdom Meets Science: Ezekiel Bread, Leviticus Foods, Sunlight, Circadian Rhythm 00:43:22 – Words, Labels & Healing: Proverbs 18, Mindset Reframes, “Healthy Getting Healthier” What you’ll learn: Why authenticity beats “influencing” (and how it built Dr. Lake’s reach) How to hold grace + truth in health conversations without compromising either Practical ways to make a whole-food, circadian-friendly lifestyle doable in real life How language and labels (e.g., “I’m diabetic”) can shape biology and behavior The surprising overlap between biblical patterns and modern physiology A simple mindset reframe: you’re a healthy person—getting healthier Want to go deeper with Dr. Lake?

What if 20 minutes could deliver a full-body strength session, boost fat loss, protect your joints, and even support rehab? Today Mark sits down with Henri & Krisztina Schmidt, the innovators behind VisionBody, a wireless wearable EMS (Electro-Muscle Stimulation) system that blends low + mid-frequency “frequency cocktails” to activate deep muscle fibers while you move. We dig into how EMS works (no, it’s not “shocking” like old TENS units), why muscle is the organ of longevity, and real-world wins—from faster training for busy people to rehab stories (ALS, spinal injuries), bone density support, skin tightening, and performance gains for athletes… all while going easy on knees, shoulders, and elbows. In this episode we jump into: - What EMS actually is—and how VisionBody’s low + mid frequencies differ from standard low-freq/TENS (deeper activation, not just surface stimulation) - Muscle as a longevity engine: fat-burning, metabolic health, bone density, fall risk - GLP-1s (Ozempic/Mounjaro), weight loss… and the risk of losing muscle if you don’t train - Why VisionBody’s wireless “brain” (24 electrodes, motion tracking, ECG reading) matters 04:19: Programs for strength, endurance, fat burning, massage, pain, recovery 10:51: Origin story: from bio-resonance to wearable EMS 21:53: Aesthetics vs healthspan (and why muscle tightens skin) 40:41: What makes VisionBody different (low + mid freq, not just TENS) 44:58: Helping kids build early wins & shift mindset If this episode nudged you to protect your muscle and joints, you’ll love what VisionBody’s building: https://visionbody.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/visionbody.official/?hl=de Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/visionbody.official YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/visionbody

Can you run a company, raise a family, and stay truly fit—without burning out? Bonnie Barnes says yes. The founder of Fit CEO On The Go (triathlete → bodybuilder → gym owner → nutritionist → transformation coach) joins Mark to reframe high performance across body, mind, and spirit. She shares how healing trauma, upgrading self-talk, and building simple habits paved the way for steady, stimulant-free focus—and why she created LET’S GO, a liposomal BHB gel pack, for brains that are “always on.” You’ll hear Bonnie’s 4 a.m. routine (creatine + BHB, magnesium, greens, lifting, sauna/cold), the science of calm energy (not spikes), and real talk on parenting, boundaries, and surrounding yourself with the right people. 00:03:05 Brain = CEO: Bonnie’s path from athlete to coach & founder 00:06:05 Beyond the physique: trauma, neural pathways & the power of words 00:16:51 Ketones 101: why BHB became her brain fuel & the origin of LET’S GO 00:22:13 Daily routine: 4 a.m. lifts, creatine + BHB, magnesium, greens, recovery 00:28:19 Taste test & science: liposomal gel, ~4,000 mg BHB, calm focus (no crash) Connect with Bonnie Barnes: https://www.instagram.com/fitceoonthego/?hl=en https://www.youtube.com/@gobhb Explore LET’S GO (BHB) gel packs: https://letsgobhb.co/collections/all Work with Bonnie / speaking: https://fitceoonthego.com/
