<p>In this powerful conversation, Melissa is joined by Jay Shetty to explore what it really means to find stillness—especially in the midst of chaos. Jay opens up about the importance of being fully present with others and shares how his deep love for his mother has shaped who he is today.  He dives into how he developed his personal practice of stillness by listening to his inner voice and learning to align his actions with his values. He introduces the concept of identifying the “seeds” and “weeds” in your life—what you're nurturing and what needs to be let go—and how that awareness can lead to aligned, intentional living. He also shares a story of an epiphany he had as his time as a monk meditating on a long train ride, along with his three core meditation practices, including breathwork. He and Melissa also dive into love, partnership, and the qualities Jay cherishes most in his relationship with his wife, offering a beautiful reminder of how presence and intention shape every area of life.</p><br><p>You can get an additional 15% off their 90-day subscription Starter Kit by going to <a href="http://fatty15.com/MWH15" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">fatty15.com/MWH15</a> and using code MWH15 at checkout.</p><br><p>Follow us on Instagram at <a href="https://www.instagram.com/melissawoodtepperberg/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@melissawoodtepperberg</a> and <a href="https://www.instagram.com/melissawoodhealth/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@melissawoodhealth</a></p><br><p>Limited Time Offer: Use code movewithheart when you sign up for a monthly membership to get your first month FREE on <a href="http://melissawoodhealth.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">melissawoodhealth.com</a>.</p><hr><p> Hosted on Acast.

<p>In this episode, Melissa sits down with Dr. Stephanie Venn-Watson, founder of Fatty15, to explore the keys to longevity, the importance of essential nutrients, and how to live a vibrant, purpose-driven life. Stephanie shares the fascinating story of how she accidentally discovered C15:0—the first essential fatty acid identified in over 90 years—through her groundbreaking work with Navy dolphins. Together, they dive into the science behind Fatty15, its powerful benefits (especially for those avoiding dairy), and how optimizing this nutrient can help restore our healthspan and give us more time and energy for the things we love most. The conversation goes beyond supplements, touching on the importance of letting go of rigid wellness labels, embracing moderation, and making healthy living more accessible and sustainable. Stephanie also unpacks why many common supplements—like gummies—may not be as effective as we think, and shares insights from her new book, <em>The Longevity Nutrient</em>, which simplifies complex science into actionable, everyday tools. If you're curious about cutting-edge health discoveries or looking to create a fuller, longer life without the overwhelm, this episode is a must-listen.</p><br><p>You can get an additional 15% off their 90-day subscription Starter Kit by going to <a href="http://fatty15.com/MWH15" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">fatty15.com/MWH15</a> and using code MWH15 at checkout.</p><br><p>Follow us on Instagram at <a href="https://www.instagram.com/melissawoodtepperberg/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@melissawoodtepperberg</a> and <a href="https://www.instagram.com/melissawoodhealth/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@melissawoodhealth</a></p><br><p>Limited Time Offer: Use code movewithheart when you sign up for a monthly membership to get your first month FREE on <a href="http://melissawoodhealth.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">melissawoodhealth.com</a>.</p><hr><p> Hosted on Acast.

<p>In this deeply honest and uplifting conversation, Melissa sits down with the radiant Elizabeth Endres — Co-Founder of Sweats and The City and Host of The Wellness Process podcast — to talk about her journey of healing, growth, and learning to trust your gut. Elizabeth opens up about her past experiences with relationships and chronic pain, and how doing the inner work completely transformed her life.

Elizabeth also shares her personal experience with SSRIs, her process of coming off them, and the emotional clarity that followed. Together, they speak openly about what it means to walk away from a relationship even when there aren’t obvious red flags, and the unexpected beauty that can unfold when you listen to your intuition.

<p>In this episode, Melissa sits down with Todd Anderson, an athlete turned entrepreneur, who has always been fascinated with optimizing human performance, particularly through sleep. Initially skeptical of the wellness trend of mouth taping at night, Melissa shares how everything changed once she tried it herself. Todd explains the evolutionary significance of nasal breathing, noting how most people unknowingly breathe through their mouths while sleeping. This simple shift to nasal breathing has profoundly impacted Melissa's anxiety levels, with benefits ranging from stress reduction and improved sleep to better oral health and a more defined jawline. They discuss Dream Recovery, the best quality tape for optimal results and skin protection, designed to make the practice of mouth taping more accessible—even for those who find it nerve-wracking. As science continues to uncover more benefits, Melissa encourages listeners to stay open to new wellness practices and see how they can positively transform their lives.</p><br><p>Go to <a href="http://boncharge.com/mwh" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">boncharge.com/mwh</a> and use code MWH for 25% OFF your purchase sitewide until the end of 2024.</p><br><p>Discover Cotton, The Fabric of Now, at <a href="http://thefabricofourlives.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">TheFabricOfOurLives.com </a></p><br><p>Use code MWH15  to get 15% off at <a href="https://dreamrecovery.io/discount/MWH15" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">dreamrecovery.com</a></p><br><p>Limited Time Offer: Use code movewithheart when you sign up for a monthly membership to get your first month FREE.</p><br><p>Hosted on Acast.

<p>As Melissa steps into her 42nd year on this earth, she takes a moment to reflect on what birthdays bring up for her and how she’s learned to shift her energy to embrace each day with excitement. Birthdays can unearth feelings we often try to avoid, but Melissa shares how facing them head-on has been transformative. She dives into some hard-earned lessons, like not feeling the need to follow everything her friends may be doing, understanding the weight of our words, and recognizing the power of truth in becoming our best selves. In her 30s, she discovered her voice and clarified her highest priorities, deepening her connection to who she truly is. With every year, she feels more alive, grounded in the belief that when you truly believe, you become. At the heart of it all, Melissa reminds us that joy is our birthright.</p><br><p>Use code MWH25 for 25% OFF your first month’s supply at <a href="http://seed.com/mwh" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">seed.com/mwh</a></p><br><p>Go to <a href="http://boncharge.com/mwh" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">boncharge.com/mwh</a> and use code MWH for 25% off your purchase sitewide until the end of 2024.</p><br><p>Follow us on Instagram at <a href="https://www.instagram.com/melissawoodtepperberg/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@melissawoodtepperberg</a> and <a href="https://www.instagram.com/melissawoodhealth/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@melissawoodhealth</a></p><br><p>Limited Time Offer: Use code movewithheart when you sign up for a monthly membership to get your first month FREE on <a href="http://melissawoodhealth.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">melissawoodhealth.com</a>.</p><br><p>Hosted on Acast.

<p>In this solo episode, Melissa begins with a calming breath and a prayer to help you tap into the moment. She shares how spirituality has become a guiding force in her life, though connecting with a higher power wasn't always her path. Over time, her journey unfolded, revealing the importance of this connection. Melissa shares a story from a trip to Canada, where she nearly faced denial at the border, and how tapping into source turned the situation around. She reflects on a favorite prayer from A Course In Miracles: “Where would you have me go, what would you have me do, what would you have me say, and to whom?” explaining what it means to her personally. Melissa also explores how knowing your Enneagram type can offer insight into your personality and strengths, and why asking for clear signs can bring you closer to trusting the journey. In moments of doubt, she encourages calling in a higher power as a way to lift yourself up and find support in the process.</p><br><p>Go to <a href="http://bioptimizers.com/mwh" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">bioptimizers.com/mwh</a> and for the entire month of November use promo code MWH to unlock up to $100 worth of FREE gifts.

<p>In this episode, Melissa dives into the world of parenting with Dr. Becky Kennedy, exploring what it means to raise kids with compassion and firmness.

Together, they tackle topics like handling conflict, navigating moments of frustration, and the importance of "repairing" not just with our kids, but with ourselves, too.

<p>It’s been five years since Melissa stopped drinking alcohol, and life has transformed completely. She now navigates anxiety and stress by managing her mental health in a much healthier way, recognizing triggers without letting them take over. When she wakes up in a dark place, she dives deep into her life, getting radically honest with herself. To truly evolve, you have to be willing to do the work, change, and tap into what brings you joy and a strong sense of self. Instead of forcing things, it’s about connecting to source, remembering that you’re the creator of your life. Melissa suggests making a "joy list" and returning to those things whenever you feel disconnected. She’s discovered what elevates her mood without spiking anxiety and even has a favorite go-to for making non-alcoholic drinks. Tune in to be inspired about living life without alcohol and not looking back.</p><br><p>Enjoy an exclusive 20% OFF your first purchase of Ghia with code <strong>MELISSAWOOD20</strong>.
