Ep. 41: How Technology Affects Your Health (and What You Can Do About It) — with August Brice

In a world that’s constantly connected, it’s easy to forget that the same technology keeping us “on” 24/7 might also be quietly wearing us down. From fatigue and anxiety to infertility and insomnia, the devices we depend on could be disrupting our most essential systems — our hormones, sleep, and cellular health.


On this episode of Grounded Wellness, Bethany McDaniel sits down with August Brice, founder of Tech Wellness and a leading voice in the movement to help families live healthier digital lives. After developing electromagnetic sensitivity more than 25 years ago, August turned her personal struggle into a mission: to educate, empower, and help others thrive in a high-tech world without fear.


August isn’t anti-tech — she’s pro-intention. This conversation reveals the unseen effects of EMF exposure and blue light, how modern devices interfere with our body’s natural rhythms, and the simple, science-backed habits that can protect your energy and your family’s health in a digital world


Together, Bethany and August uncover the biological and emotional costs of constant connectivity. They explore how EMFs and wireless radiation disrupt cell signaling and hormone balance, how blue light exposure impacts sleep and melatonin, and why “smart” devices are becoming the next frontier in toxin awareness.


But this episode isn’t about fear — it’s about freedom. August shares practical ways to create a tech-safe home, from hardwiring Wi-Fi to building bedtime boundaries with screens. You’ll learn how to detox your environment, reclaim your attention, and use technology the way it was intended: to support, not control, your wellbeing.


Discussion Highlights


EMFs: The Invisible Stressor

• August explains what electromagnetic fields (EMFs) really are — invisible waves of energy from cell phones, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth devices — and how overexposure can contribute to anxiety, hormone imbalance, oxidative stress, and even fertility issues.

Blue Light and Hormone Health

• Beyond screen addiction, August details how blue light disrupts circadian rhythm and suppresses melatonin production — even when we wear blue-light glasses. Her nightly rule? No screens after 8 p.m. and amber lighting to mimic natural dusk.

The Myth of “Safe” Tech

• Just because it’s sold doesn’t mean it’s safe. August reveals that cell phones and Bluetooth devices were never tested for long-term safety, and that modern wearables like earbuds and smartwatches constantly emit wireless radiation — often right against vital organs and glands.

Creating a Low-Tech Sanctuary

• From hardwiring your home internet to using analog alarm clocks, August shares how to create EMF-safe spaces that promote rest, fertility, and calm. Her simple rule: if you’re not using it, turn it off — especially at night.

EMFs and Fertility

• Studies show a link between wireless exposure and miscarriage risk, and global sperm counts have dropped by 50% over the past few decades. August urges couples to treat tech toxins like any other environmental toxin — avoidable with awareness and small, consistent action.

Digital Detox as a Modern Health Practice

• True balance comes from periodic tech fasts — time offline to reconnect with real life. August recommends unplugging daily for at least one hour (no phone, no screens, just presence). It’s not deprivation; it’s nervous system nourishment.


Reframing the Narrative


Technology doesn’t have to be the enemy — but it shouldn’t be the driver of our lives. The same way we’ve cleaned up our food, filtered our water, and detoxed our skincare, it’s time to detox our digital habits.


When we use technology consciously — turning off Wi-Fi at night, hardwiring devices, protecting sleep and hormone health — we move from overstimulation to grounded energy. Awareness becomes our most powerful form of protection.

Ep. 40: Why Most Detox Protocols Don’t Work with Dr. Daniel Pompa

Most detoxes miss the most important step — and it’s why so many people still feel tired, foggy, or hormonally off even after “doing everything right.”


In this episode of Grounded Wellness, Dr. Daniel Pompa, a pioneer in cellular healing and detoxification, joins Bethany to reveal why true healing starts in the cell. After facing years of unexplained illness, mercury toxicity, and chronic fatigue, Dr. Pompa discovered a principle that changed everything:


You don’t get well until you fix the cell.


They discuss:

  • The Five R’s of Cellular Healing — and why step one (removing the source) is the key most people skip
  • Why detox alone often fails to restore energy or balance hormones
  • How heavy metals, seed oils, fluoride, and hidden toxins disrupt cellular function
  • The role of feast–famine cycling in restoring mitochondrial energy and metabolism


This conversation reframes detox as more than a cleanse — it’s a blueprint for rebuilding energy, hormone health, and vitality from the inside out.

Ep. 39: Natural Alternatives to Botox with Holistic Esthetician Elizabeth Carter

Conventional skincare culture tells us to fight aging, fear the sun, and turn to quick fixes like Botox to stay youthful. But are injections the only way? In this episode, holistic esthetician Elizabeth Carter, founder of Honest Rituals, joins Grounded Wellness co-host and holistic esthetician Courtney Goetz to explore the truth about Botox, its risks, and natural alternatives that actually work.


They discuss how intuitive skincare can be a sacred ritual, why facial massage and buccal massage support both emotional release and youthful skin, and how cosmetic acupuncture and natural rituals can offer powerful results without injections. They also share the lessons they had to unlearn after esthetics school.


Together, Elizabeth and Courtney go beyond facials—unpacking motherhood, miscarriage, emotional wellness, Botox alternatives, tallow skincare, and the underestimated emotional power of holistic beauty practices—all while challenging the myths that keep women from experiencing true beauty and wholeness.

Ep. 38: What Doctors Miss About Mammograms + Women’s Health with Dr. Jenn Simmons

For decades, women have been told the same story: mammograms save lives. They’re painted as the gold standard for breast cancer prevention — a rite of passage once you hit your forties. But what if that story isn’t the full picture? What if the very test meant to protect us is also leading to unnecessary fear, invasive treatments, and even harm?


In this powerful episode of Grounded Wellness, host Bethany McDaniel sits down with Dr. Jenn Simmons, a former top breast cancer surgeon turned functional medicine practitioner, who is leading a revolution in women’s health. Dr. Simmons knows the system from the inside. After years in the operating room, she saw firsthand the toll of over-diagnosis and over-treatment. Women were enduring surgeries, chemotherapy, and lifelong medication regimens for cancers that never would have impacted their lives. The stakes are enormous: more than 20–30% of breast cancer diagnoses each year fall into this category of unnecessary treatment.


Bethany and Dr. Simmons pull back the curtain on the mammogram myth vs reality, unpacking the real truth about mammograms — and pointing to safer, smarter alternatives. This episode doesn’t shy away from the hard truths, but it also delivers hope, clarity, and a path forward for women who want to take ownership of their health.

Ep. 37: Does Sugar Feed Cancer? How Diet Impacts Healing with Season Johnson

For too long, parents have been told that when a child is diagnosed with cancer, the only thing that matters is surviving chemotherapy. Nutrition? Not important. Side effects? Just part of the process.


But what if that isn’t the full story?



In honor of Childhood Cancer Awareness Month, Bethany sat down with her good friend, Season Johnson, Functional Nutritional Therapy Practitioner and founder of KICKcancER, to explore the intersection of conventional cancer treatment and holistic healing. This conversation covers everything from the emotional toll of a pediatric diagnosis to practical tools that empower families to create an environment where cancer cannot thrive. When we address holistic care through nutrition, detox, emotional healing, and faith—everything shifts.

Bonus: Luteal Phase Meditation - Lean In With Intention

In today’s episode of Grounded Wellness, our Holistic Esthetician, Courtney, is guiding you through a mindful meditation designed to help you ease into your luteal phase with intention.



This phase of your monthly cycle, which occurs between ovulation and menstruation, is your inner autumn and often gets misunderstood. For many, it’s a time of heightened emotions and a pull inward – it’s common to feel more sensitive, introspective or even irritable during this time.

But what if we could learn to reframe our experience of the luteal phase and start to see it in a more empowering light?


Today’s episode is designed to offer extra support in this extra sensitive phase – with gentle affirmations to support emotional well-being and inner reflection, holistic skincare tips to restore balance and practical guidance to sync your lifestyle with your cycle’s natural rhythms.

Whether you’re navigating emotional shifts, hormonal breakouts, or simply craving a slower pace – this meditation is here for you. Return to this meditation any time you need a gentle nudge to love the luteal phase and give yourself permission to pause.

After years of struggling with the side effects of hormonal birth control, painful periods, and hormone imbalances, Emily has made it her mission to help women reclaim their cycles and feel at home in their bodies again.

But this isn’t just a takedown of the pill and the medical system. It’s a hopeful conversation filled with practical tips and empowering science that every woman deserves to know.



If you’ve ever felt trapped by your period, out of sync with your body, or dismissed by a doctor, this conversation will leave you with practical tips to feel better and live in rhythm with your cycle.

Uncover the misunderstood science behind ozone — and how it’s quietly transforming lives.



In this episode of Grounded Wellness, Bethany dives deep into the world of ozone therapy with Micah Lowe, founder of Simply O3 and a passionate voice for natural, science-backed healing. With a deeply personal backstory rooted in his brother’s battle with brain cancer, Micah has dedicated his career to reviving one of the most misunderstood therapies in modern health.


Together, Bethany and Micah unpack the rich history, science, and real-world applications of ozone therapy — a modality with over 2,000 medical studies and a legacy that predates antibiotics.

Ep. 34: Bird Flu, Bleach Baths + Fake Labels: The Dark Reality of Big Meat with Farmer Rob, Founder of Primal Pastures

Not all meat is created equal and most of what we’re sold at the grocery store is a lie.


In this episode of Grounded Wellness, Bethany sits down with her brother-in-law, Farmer Rob — founder of Primal Pastures and a practicing physician assistant. Rob brings a rare dual perspective: both from inside the medical system and from the frontlines of regenerative farming.


Together, they unravel the deep corruption of America’s meat industry: misleading labels, diseased animals, toxic feed, bleach baths, and the devastating impact these practices have on our health. But this episode isn’t just a takedown — it’s also a hopeful blueprint for what ethical, nourishing, and truly clean meat can (and should) look like.


From their humble beginnings raising 50 backyard chickens, Rob and his family have built a thriving regenerative farm rooted in transparency, integrity, and ancestral wisdom. This conversation is as shocking as it is empowering and it may just change the way you shop for meat forever.

In this raw and eye-opening conversation, Bethany is joined by Cymbiotika co-founder and wellness philosopher Chervin Jafarieh to explore what it really means to reclaim our biology — through light, grounding, movement, and deep internal connection.


Together, they cover everything from parasites and tap water to fasting, morning sunlight, and the root cause of low energy. Chervin’s philosophy is deeply rooted in nature and backed by both science and soul. This conversation is an invitation to step off the hamster wheel of hustle wellness and return to rhythms that have sustained humans for centuries.

Ep. 29: How to Decode Your Acne + Heal the Root Cause with Maria Marlowe

If you’ve ever felt like you’re doing everything “right” and still struggling with acne… This episode is for you.


In honor of Acne Awareness Month, we brought on a guest who’s not only deeply informed, she’s also been through it herself. Holistic nutritionist and skin health expert Maria Marlowe joins Bethany for a powerful conversation on how to heal your skin from within and why it’s time to rethink everything we’ve been told about acne.


After trying every conventional acne treatment out there, from antibiotics to birth control, Maria stumbled across something that changed everything: the healing power of food. Within five months of changing her diet and repairing her gut, her skin completely cleared. Since then, she’s spent over a decade helping others do the same through her Clear Skin Plan and research-backed nutritional guidance.


This episode covers so much — from hormone-related breakouts and inflammation to gray hairs, Botox, motherhood, and how the grocery store might secretly be working against your skin.

Ep. 28: Is The Sun Really The Enemy? What a Skin Cancer Surgeon Wants You to Know

In this eye-opening conversation, Dr. Teo Soleymani, Stanford-trained, double board-certified dermatologist and skin cancer surgeon, joins us on our regenerative farm (under the sun) to unpack some of the most common misconceptions about sun exposure, skin cancer, and the products we’ve been told to trust. 



Dr. Teo shines light (literally) on why the most deadly skin cancers don’t come from sun exposure at all. He breaks down the risks of chemical sunscreen ingredients, the truth about their absorption in the body, and how holistic sun protection starts from within.
