Episode 503: Anthony William: Heavy Metals, Brain Fog, and The Voice That Guides Him
Most people don’t fail at getting healthy because they don’t care. They fail because they’re following the wrong advice.
In this episode, I sit down with Anthony William, the Medical Medium, to talk about why doing everything “right” can still leave you feeling like crap. We get into how stress, overtesting, and over-supplementing can backfire, and why simplicity beats every hack.
He shares how metals in the brain can fuel issues like OCD and ADHD, the five foods he swears by for detox and recovery, and why celery juice became more than just a trend. We also talk about what people get wrong about protein, clean eating, and chasing “optimization.”
Whether you love him or question him, this conversation will make you stop and rethink what being healthy really means.
Anthony William is the founder of the global celery juice movement and a #1 New York Times best-selling author known for his Medical Medium book series. Since the age of four, he has said he receives health insights from what he calls the Spirit of Compassion, helping people improve their well-being through a more intuitive approach.
What we discuss:
(05:42) Why “healthy” habits might actually be keeping you sick
(13:10) The hidden downside of overtesting
(24:57) How the Medical Medium was trained by a voice since childhood
(28:45) The real reason you feel tired even when you “do everything right”
(44:02) How heavy metals in the brain may trigger OCD and ADHD symptoms
(1:11:59) The five foods Anthony swears by for real detox and recovery
(01:17:57) Why protein isn’t the miracle nutrient you think it is
(01:23:39) The truth behind celery juice and why it became a global movement
(01:26:11) Why Anthony turned down Hollywood deals and the “health celebrity” circuit

Episode 501: Alejandra Maria Gallo: Dating Strategy, Emotional Regulation, and Taking Your Power Back
You can be successful, confident, and unstoppable in business: and still lose your edge when it comes to love.
In this episode of Habits & Hustle, I sit down with Alejandra Maria, a dating strategist and viral creator who helps ambitious women stop chasing and start leading with self-respect.
We talk about what it really means to have emotional discipline, the ability to pause before reacting, to stay calm instead of proving your worth, and to walk away instead of negotiating for respect. Alejandra breaks down how “no contact” can be a power move, not a game, and why emotional diversification is the secret to staying grounded when everything feels personal.
If you’re the kind of woman who thrives under pressure but keeps losing your balance in relationships, this one’s for you. We unpack how to bring the same clarity and control you have in business into your emotional life, without losing your softness or your power.
Alejandra Maria has built a global audience of nearly a million women with her unapologetic, emotionally intelligent take on modern dating. Her insights have been featured in Newsweek, Girlboss, and more. And she’s redefining what it means to be “high value” in love and life.
What We Discuss:
(04:10) Why high-achieving women often lose power in love
(06:05) The difference between emotional discipline and emotional suppression
(08:42) “You can’t outwork emotional chaos”: bringing business mindset into dating
(12:30) How “no contact” became the most powerful boundary you can set
(18:20) Emotional diversification: spreading your energy beyond one relationship
(25:14) Why confidence isn’t control, it’s composure
(33:47) The signs you’re over-functioning in relationships
(42:30) How to stop chasing and start being chosen
(51:12) The mindset shift from proving your worth to holding your power
(58:40) How to regulate emotions like you train your body: consistency over chaos
…and more!

Episode 500: From Broke to Billionaire: Stephen Cloobeck’s $3.3B Mindset
Stephen Cloobeck didn’t climb the ladder. He built his own. In this episode, we talk about what it really takes to grow a billion-dollar company without a business degree: and why integrity, discipline, and grit beat credentials every time.
We get into his biggest pivots, how mentorship shaped his success, and why EQ always outperforms IQ in business and life. Stephen also opens up about giving away over $63 million, calling out “wokeness as weakness,” and what real leadership looks like when you’re under pressure.
Stephen Cloobeck is the founder and former CEO of Diamond Resorts, which sold for $3.3 billion enterprise value. He’s been on Undercover Boss more than anyone, donated millions, and still believes character is the ultimate ROI.
What We Discuss:
02:03 - Stephen's $63 million in philanthropic giving
04:02 - Undercover Boss episodes and giving away the most money
09:30 - Learning business from Mike Milken instead of business school
12:45 - Harvard Business School case study on his industry disruption
15:20 - Treating employees like family as competitive advantage
