The Longevity Nutrient: Why C15 May Be the Most Important Molecule You’ve Never Heard Of | with Dr. Stephanie Venn Watson and Emily Duncan

In this episode, I sit down with Krista Williams from the Almost 30 podcast, and we go deep on the conversations most people avoid… the truth about female friendships, the power of radical accountability, and the process of finding your own spiritual connection outside of labels and dogma.   We explore: How to navigate friendship breakups with honesty and integrity. Why women need permission to have preferences in their relationships. The difference between “my truth” vs. “the truth,” and how language can heal or harm. Reclaiming spirituality after losing connection to religion. Radical accountability as the most empowering practice in relationships and life.   If you’ve ever struggled with misaligned friendships, questioned your spiritual path, or wanted to step deeper into your personal power, this conversation is going to land.

In today’s episode, I’m diving into a topic that has changed both my personal life and my performance as a high-achieving woman: self-compassion as a tool for high performance. I used to believe that being relentlessly hard on myself was the only way to succeed. But over time (and through conversations with brilliant minds like Dr. Karin Nordin), I’ve learned that self-compassion is not weakness. It’s not laziness. It’s one of the most powerful performance tools you can have in your arsenal. Inside this episode, I break down: Why self-criticism fails long-term and how it sabotages performance. The three psychological components of self-compassion and how to actually use them. The paradox of failure: why avoiding failure keeps you from success. How pairing compassion with accountability accelerates growth. My personal journaling framework that blends honesty, compassion, and radical accountability. If you’ve ever thought “compassion is soft” or worried it would make you lazy, this episode will challenge everything you’ve believed about performance. By the end, you’ll see why self-compassion is a non-negotiable in your high-performance tool belt.

In this episode of EMBody Radio, I sit down with Jordan Shallow… chiropractor, strength coach, powerlifter, educator, and founder of Pre-Script (and an industry OG, let’s be honest) for a raw and wide-ranging conversation on fitness, mindset, and navigating life in the digital age. Jordan opens up about the disconnect that almost ended his career, the lessons from living out of his car and traveling the world teaching seminars, and why so many creators are losing touch with the real reason we train. Together, we dive into the traps of social media, the “mind virus” of entrepreneurship, and the importance of building real-world receipts before trying to scale online. If you’ve ever felt the pressure of curating an online persona, struggled with detachment from your mission, or wondered how to ground yourself in a chaotic world, this episode will hit home. You’ll learn: Why your story has to match your lived experience (or life will force a correction). How social media warps reward systems, and how to stay anchored in real results. Why Jordan says the key to longevity in fitness is to “be famous in your hometown.” The danger of getting lost in self-help culture instead of living life. How freedom, risk, and “being dumb enough to keep going” shaped Jordan’s journey. Whether you’re a fitness professional, content creator, or someone striving for personal excellence, this episode will challenge the way you see growth, resilience, and success.

Dr. Stephanie Venn-Watson is back on the show, and this time, we’re going deep into the science of longevity. In this episode, we unpack the groundbreaking research behind C15:0, the first essential fatty acid discovered in over 90 years, and how it’s shifting everything we thought we knew about saturated fats, aging, and living longer well. We also talk about the launch of her new book, The Longevity Nutrient, and why this unassuming molecule might be the key to unlocking healthier aging, better mitochondrial function, deeper sleep, appetite regulation, and even improved dopamine levels. We break down: What C15 is (and why it matters) The difference between lifespan and health span Longevity molecules like rapamycin, metformin, and why C15 may outperform both The longevity regulating pathway and what it means for your future The real story behind saturated fats and how cellular fragility may be the result of decades of dietary misinformation Why you might feel calmer, more satiated, and more energized within weeks of taking C15 If you're a biohacker, wellness lover, or just someone who wants to live better for longer—this episode is a must-listen.

In this solo episode, I’m getting really real about my experience navigating the “soft girl era” and the ways it almost made me lose herself entirely.   From moving across the country and completing my Pilates certification to untangling the spiritual programming that labeled my ambition as “too masculine,” I’m sharing a raw unfiltered account of reclaiming my voice, my vision, and the part of me that’s always been driven to go, do, and become.   Whether you’ve dabbled in the neo-spiritual space, been told to “be more in your feminine,” or just feel like you’re drifting away from your fire, this episode is a must-listen.   In today’s episode, I cover:   Why I moved away from the neo-spiritual space The dangers of romanticizing passivity in the name of femininity How the “soft girl era” disconnected me from her goals, health, and sense of self The difference between balance and harmony, and why high performers need the latter Why abandoning structure isn’t healing (and what real integration looks like)   I’m NOT anti-softness. I AM very pro reclamation of the ambitious woman’s right to FUCKING GO FOR IT without shame.

We cover: Why excellence isn’t perfection, and how grace keeps you in the game longer How to structure your life when you don’t “feel like it” ADHD, time blindness, and removing friction for high performance Beauty, aesthetics, and how self-presentation reinforces self-respect Money, mission, and why more women should want to be wealthy The unsexy truth about consistency, boredom, and doing the reps Why your perfectionism is stalling your progress, and how to scale habits back without quitting Leadership, resentment, and the real cost of people-pleasing as a female founder If you’ve ever struggled with self-trust, overthinking, inconsistency, or the fear of being “too much,” this episode is going to hit home in the best way.
