About this episode:
What if the key to a stronger immune system—and better cancer outcomes—starts with calming your nerves? The First Lady of Nutrition sits down with Donnie Yance, clinical master herbalist and holistic practitioner, to explore his “unitive” approach to healing that blends cutting-edge science with time-tested botanical wisdom. As founder of the Mederi Center and formulator behind Natura Health Products, Yance looks at the whole picture: the host, the labs, and the very ideology of the disease.
Together, Donnie and Ann Louise  tackle today’s toughest trends—aggressive cancers in younger people, “immune confusion” from certain exposures and interventions, and what real-world immunotherapy support can look like in practice. Yance unpacks the role of the p53 “guardian of the genome,” the power of epigenetics, and why quieting the sympathetic nervous system may be one of the most overlooked levers in resilience. He also shares memorable case stories and discusses the principles behind some of his most effective formulas. Learn more about his work at medericenter.org and donnieyance.com.

About this episode:
The First Lady of Nutrition welcomes Lauren Vaknine, and for anyone living with rheumatoid arthritis, this is a story you won’t want to miss. Diagnosed with juvenile RA just before her second birthday, Lauren was wheelchair-bound by 18 with every joint in her body locked. Most people would have lost hope—but not Lauren, and not her mother.
Lauren’s mom had already defied convention years earlier, saying no to steroids and choosing homeopathy instead. That decision opened the door to a lifetime of natural healing. At 21, Lauren had her own turning point: realizing her recovery was in her hands, she committed to rebuilding her health one choice at a time.
Now, more than 11 years in remission, Lauren shares with Ann Louise the practices that made the difference—whole, organic foods instead of processed ones, key supplements like magnesium, cod liver oil, and black seed oil, and daily rituals with turmeric and frankincense that continue to keep her strong.
From a child defined by illness to a global voice in holistic health, Lauren’s message is both simple and powerful: the body knows how to heal when we give it what it needs.

The First Lady of Nutrition welcomes Zen Honeycutt, founder of Moms Across America and author of Unstoppable: Transforming Sickness and Struggle into Triumph, Empowerment and a Celebration of Community. Together, Ann Louise and Zen take a hard look at the hidden dangers in our food supply—from GMOs and glyphosates to food dyes, pesticides, and heavy metals. You’ll be shocked to learn how many toxic additives are banned in Europe yet fully allowed in the U.S., and how testing has revealed disturbing levels of glyphosate, aluminum, and lead in everything from packaged foods to school lunches.
Zen and Moms Across America was one of the first citizen-funded glyphosate testing projects in the U.S. They also successfully petitioned Costco to remove Roundup from their shelves. Learn more about this and other research such as the profound impact of real nutrition. In one example, parolees and violent offenders who received proper vitamin and mineral supplementation—or simply switched from processed to whole foods—saw dramatic drops in aggression and recidivism, often in a very short time.
Join us and come away with practical tips for clearing glyphosate from your system, a better understanding of why choosing organic and regenerative foods matters, and a reminder that sometimes the smartest strategy is as simple as knowing your local farmer. Learn more about Zen’s mission at https://www.momsacrossamerica.com/.

About this episode:
Ann Louise Gittleman welcomes Joe Wells—UNI KEY’s behind-the-scenes partner in the development of Collagen 4+ and a seasoned entrepreneur with three decades in health and fitness. A former NFL player turned industry innovator, Joe founded Max Muscle and scaled it to nearly 200 franchise stores, launched Max Sports & Fitness magazine, helped develop more than 200 nutrition products, and was honored as Entrepreneur of the Year by the Academy of Bodybuilding, Fitness & Sports. In this fast, plain-English masterclass, Joe demystifies collagen (19 amino acids, grass-fed, hormone-free, animal-derived) and explains why most powders aren’t complete proteins. Collagen 4+ fixes that by adding L-tryptophan—so your scoop behaves like a complete protein—then turns up results with vitamin C to drive collagen synthesis, hyaluronic acid (famous for holding up to 1,000× its weight in water) for skin hydration and joint comfort, and AstraGin for up to 70% more collagen absorption! Clean and flavorless, it disappears into coffee, smoothies, or soups—making it a perfect way to boost your collagen levels for strength, skin, and recovery.
