Do the Hustle with Don Kurz

Healthy Living by Willow Creek Springs ·

2026/04/22

Send us Fan Mail Your life can change in one play, one decision, or one diagnosis. When it does, the real question is whether you cling to the old story or build a better one with what’s left. We sit down with Don Kurz, a former Johns Hopkins lacrosse champion turned Studio 54 hustle regular turned entrepreneur and creative agency leader, to unpack how reinvention actually works. Don shares what it feels like to lose an athletic future to a brutal knee injury, why the disco era became more t...

What If Asking For Help Is Strength with Keith Cole

Healthy Living by Willow Creek Springs ·

2026/04/20

Send us Fan Mail He didn’t break in Vietnam. He broke years later in a quiet office, with stress piled so high that one more “push through it” simply wasn’t possible. We talk with Keith Cole, a Marine Corps Vietnam veteran who carried combat wounds, the trauma of notifying next of kin, and the weight of becoming a guardian for his younger siblings, then spent decades building a high-pressure career as a CPA. The result was a familiar modern story with uncommon honesty: burnout, sleepless nigh...

Complete Remission with Dr Robert Hoffman

Healthy Living by Willow Creek Springs ·

2026/04/17

Send us Fan Mail The scariest part of cancer isn’t always the diagnosis, it’s the not knowing if it’s truly gone. After aggressive head and neck squamous cell carcinoma and months of brutal chemotherapy, my U.S. PET CT and MRI looked “good,” but nobody could tell me with confidence whether I was in complete remission. So I flew to Japan for a carbon-11 methionine PET scan, a rare imaging tool that demands an onsite cyclotron and a near-immediate scan because the tracer’s half-life is only abo...

A Carbon-11 Methionine PET Scan Can Confirm Remission...

Healthy Living by Willow Creek Springs ·

2026/04/16

Send us Fan Mail A scan that can’t wait sounds like science fiction until you hear the numbers: carbon-11 has a 12-minute half-life, which means a carbon-11 methionine PET scan has to be made onsite, injected fast, and run immediately or the signal can vanish. That time pressure is exactly why we traveled to Japan to talk with Dr. Toshihiko Sato at the Utsunomiya Clinic, where they produce specialized PET radiotracers and perform total-body methionine PET imaging that many hospitals simply ca...

What If Heat Is A Missing Piece

Healthy Living by Willow Creek Springs ·

2026/04/14

Send us Fan Mail Heat can feel like comfort, but I see it as something more useful than that: a hands-on tool for pain relief, mobility, recovery, and nervous system support. I walk through thermotherapy in plain language, starting with the basics of why warmth helps tight muscles relax, why stiff joints often move better once you warm up, and how improved circulation can deliver oxygen and nutrients while clearing metabolic waste that adds to soreness. If you deal with arthritis, back pain, ...

Send us Fan Mail The condolences pour in, the flowers fill the room, and then the funeral ends. What happens when the hardest part of grief shows up weeks later, when everyone else has gone back to normal? We sit down with Kelly Edmondson, a trauma ICU and ER nurse turned grief counselor, whose life changed when her 28-year-old son Darius died suddenly from an epilepsy-related seizure. Kelly shares the moment that cracked something open for her: Mother’s Day. She expected darkness, but her f...

Healing After Childhood Trauma: Healthy living...

Healthy Living by Willow Creek Springs ·

2026/04/06

Send us Fan Mail You can feel it when someone stops telling their story to get sympathy and starts telling it to get free. That’s where Juan is right now, and our conversation goes straight into the real mechanics of healing from childhood trauma. We talk about Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACE), what it means to carry a high ACE score, and why silence doesn’t erase pain it just hands it the steering wheel. Juan shares a vivid metaphor for trauma recovery: holding it in is like refusing to ...

Send us Fan Mail Trauma doesn’t just live in the past. It can live in your nervous system, showing up as anxiety, addiction patterns, sleeplessness, shutdown, or that moment when you feel your brain go offline and you don’t know why. We sit down with Steve Sapourn, founder of Neuros Journey, to unpack trauma-informed neuroscience in a way that’s practical, human, and surprisingly hopeful: what if the “settings” you’ve been fighting are adaptations your brain made to survive? Steve walks us t...

Finding Hope After Combat Trauma with Jeremy Stalnecker

Healthy Living by Willow Creek Springs ·

2026/04/01

Send us Fan Mail A lot of people look “fine” on the outside while they are quietly falling apart on the inside. We talk with Jeremy Stalneker, a Marine Corps infantry veteran and the leader of the Mighty Oaks Foundation, about what happens after combat stress, career transition, and life trauma collide with identity loss. When someone starts thinking, “If I’m not in the military anymore, who am I?” the slide into isolation, bad decisions, and hopelessness can feel fast and final. Jeremy’s mes...

Send us Fan Mail When you’re sick and every appointment creates a new theory, hope can feel like a luxury. I sit down with Allie Chandler, founder of Upsell Health, to trace the long road from a life-changing Lyme disease crash to a near-full recovery, and what that journey taught her about modern healthcare, functional medicine, and real patient advocacy. We get into why Lyme is often called the great mimicker, how symptoms can ricochet across the heart, nervous system, digestion, and immun...

Send us Fan Mail Something is off in modern health: more specialists, more tests, more “answers” and yet so many people still feel stuck, inflamed, anxious, and exhausted. We sit down with Brandon Yager to explore a different map of healing, one that treats the nervous system, beliefs, and unresolved emotional shock as central factors in physical symptoms. Brandon shares how early personal development shaped his life, then takes us into the Yager Method Framework, where NLP, subconscious rep...

Closing The Door On Your Old Life with Earl Thompson

Send us Fan Mail One moment can split your life into “before” and “after” and you still have to wake up the next day and decide who you’re going to be. Earl Thompson joins me to share the deeply personal story of losing his wife to acute myeloid leukemia, the years of remission and relapse, and what it really takes to grieve without getting trapped in an identity built around tragedy. From there, we dig into Earl’s work as a rehabilitation counselor and vocational rehabilitation expert witne...

Science Is Not Certainty with Dr. Robert Hoffman

Healthy Living by Willow Creek Springs ·

2026/03/22

Send us Fan Mail “Trust the science” is easy to say until you are staring at a scan that can’t truly rule cancer out. We sit down again with Dr. Robert Hoffman to talk about what medical evidence can prove, what it can only suggest, and why patients get trapped between uncertainty and aggressive standard-of-care treatment. Along the way, we share real stakes: recurrence fear, metastasis language that lands like a hammer, and the hard truth that you have to want to live enough to do the work t...

Empathy Behind Bars with Megan McDrew

Send us Fan Mail Walking into a prison for the first time changes your body before it changes your mind. Gates, rules, metal detectors, and then something you don’t expect: a room full of people trying to practice honesty, calm, and respect. I’m joined by Megan McDrew, founder of Empathy in Action at the Transformative Justice Center, to explain how her volunteer-based prison program brings civilians together with incarcerated men and women to build the one tool trauma most desperately needs:...

2026/03/18

Send a text A secret can feel like armor, especially when you learned early that telling the truth might cost you love, respect, or safety. We get honest about how childhood trauma turns into a vow of silence, how that vow shapes identity and “manhood,” and why the toughest thing many of us will ever do is let ourselves be seen. We walk through Juan’s “Letters To The Young Me,” a raw set of lyrics aimed at interrupting the school-to-prison pipeline and the cycle of acting out. We unpack the ...

Send a text A hard truth sits at the center of cancer care: remission isn’t the finish line. We open up about the maintenance mindset—how to manage cancer for the long haul—through a rare blend of lab insight, clinical pragmatism, and real-world patient experience. With Dr. Robert Hoffman, we unpack the “Hoffman effect,” the addiction of many tumors to methionine, and why that metabolic weakness changes how we scan, treat, and monitor disease. We compare methionine PET with standard glucose ...

We sit down with Paula Yost—both a seasoned attorney and a licensed mental health clinician—to unpack the real skills of advocacy through stories that move from foster care to the NICU and back to the courtroom. Paula’s journey, from first‑generation college grad to mother of four, grounds a conversation that stays clear-eyed about harm while refusing to give up on change. We start with foste...

Send a text What if we measured justice by how well it heals? We sit down with Juan to unpack a rare, unfiltered look at growth behind the wall—how being seen and heard can jumpstart dignity, how trauma-informed practices rewire the brain, and why labels fail to capture a living, changing human. Juan describes the painful split between the authentic self and the survival self, the years spent pushing down feelings to fit expectations, and the moment a safe room—and a simple handshake—made hum...

We sit down with licensed psychotherapist Scott Stolarick to explore how trauma ripples through the body, why listening can be more powerful than lecturing, and how the right pace turns resistance into real change. From mapping family systems with genograms to giving adolescents the mic, Scott shows how a nonthreatening, collaborative approach builds trust—and why trust is the doorway to any lasting result.

Dr. Jonar de Guzman: Reversing Diabetes With Lifestyle

Healthy Living by Willow Creek Springs ·

Send a text What if reversing type 2 diabetes could start with your next meal and a five-minute walk? We welcome Dr. Jonar, a dual board certified physician in internal and lifestyle medicine, who left hospital medicine after seeing the cycle of late-stage complications—heart attacks, amputations, kidney failure—and chose to go upstream. His message is both practical and hopeful: target insulin resistance at its roots with food, movement, stress relief, and real sleep, and watch markers move ...
