Your body is not betraying you - it is trying to tell you something. Heidi Neubauer shares the root-cause framework behind Next Level Wholeness, revealing how women can stop chasing symptoms and start decoding what their bodies are communicating.

Host Dave Roberts talks with Heidi Neubauer, founder of Next Level Wholeness and creator of the Total Transformation Program, about the powerful intersection of functional lab testing, genetics, nervous system regulation, and emotional healing. If you have ever been told your labs are "fine" while you still feel exhausted, inflamed, foggy, or stuck, this conversation will resonate immediately.

Heidi shares: why standard labs often miss the bigger picture, how functional testing looks at optimal health instead of average health, and why symptoms like constipation, fatigue, and brain fog can point to deeper physical and emotional patterns. She explains how her 21-page health appraisal, full intake, and targeted testing help her build a much more complete picture of each client.

You will discover:

• The difference between basic lab work and functional testing
• Why digestive issues can reflect stress, resentment, and unprocessed emotions
• How genetics and epigenetics can reveal modifiable pathways tied to detox, inflammation, and cellular health
• Why nervous system regulation is essential for healing, not optional
• The simple breathing practice Heidi recommends to calm the body fast
• Dave and Heidi also explore the idea that healing is not one-size-fits-all. Instead of forcing every woman into the same protocol, Heidi tailors care based on what the body, labs, timeline, and lived experience are all revealing together. That integrative approach is what makes her work so distinctive - and so needed.

If you've been looking for a more compassionate, more complete way to understand your health, this episode offers both the science and the soul. Essential listening for women navigating chronic health concerns, practitioners interested in whole-person care, and anyone ready to stop ignoring the body's messages.

Heidi Neubauer is the founder of Next Level Wholeness, where she helps women bridge the gap between functional medicine, emotional healing, and self-awareness. She is the creator of the Total Transformation Program, a six-month intensive with year-long support through her school community.

A childhood of abuse, a 15-year battle with addiction, and the loss of both parents within six months — Piere Ingram turns all of it into poetry, purpose, and a roadmap for recovery. If you need proof that your hardest chapter can become your greatest gift, this conversation will meet you right where you are.

Dave Roberts sits down with poet, author, and recovery advocate Piere Ingram to trace the moments that changed everything: early trauma, an overdose scare, and the quiet decision to stop going backward. What follows is a raw, hopeful story of transformation, where Dr. Seuss, scripture, and spoken word all become tools for healing.

You’ll discover:

• Why Piere says “transparency leads to transformation”
• How he replaced destructive habits with simple, repeatable actions like water, walking, and writing
• The mindset shift that helped him see relapse as a setback, not an identity
• How sobriety unlocked his creativity and led him to write seven books
• Why motion, faith, and rhythm are central to his creative process

Dave and Piere also break down the deeper idea behind addiction recovery, the stigma that labels people by their worst choices, and why the real breakthrough often starts inside long before it shows up outside. Piere’s “It’sy Bissy Spider” moment, his “subtraction equals multiplication” insight, and his belief that “you gotta let go to grow” make this episode both deeply personal and immediately useful.

This episode matters if you’re in recovery, loving someone who is, or carrying pain you haven’t learned how to turn into purpose yet. It’s also for anyone who wants to create more honestly, live more intentionally, and understand how faith, grief, and creativity can work together to rebuild a life.

Essential listening for anyone who believes their story is not over.

Piere's Bio and Contact Information

Piere was born and raised in Cleveland, Ohio. His first exposure to poetry was through Dr. Suess books when he was very young. Piere loved the rhythm, rhymes, and wordplay of poetry. Reading and writing poetry became a way for Piere to escape from his problems and release his emotions. Piere is a recovering addict who has experienced much growth, and has met many people who has influenced his way of thinking.

One thing that hit him after his mom died was remembering her words, "Piere, you only have one life to live, so you better get this right".

Her words forced Piere to look within himself and come to terms with the bad choices he was making. Through his work, he wants to make her proud.

Through his website NewLifePoetry.live and his social platforms, he shares writing and recovery-focused messages designed to encourage and inspire others.

Burnout does not mean you are broken. It can be the signal that your life needs a different framework, and Dianna Collier shares the practical positive psychology tools that helped her move from exhaustion and languishing into a life and career built around flourishing.

Dave Roberts sits down with Dianna, an Austin-based certified positive psychology coach and school psychologist, for a conversation about what actually helps people shift out of stuckness. Dianna traces her path from high-pressure school psychology, through burnout and major life transitions, to the coaching work she does now with clients navigating change, self-doubt, and renewal.

You'll discover how positive psychology works as the science of flourishing, why strengths-based coaching can be more effective than deficit-focused thinking, and how small actions can create real momentum when you are feeling low. Dianna breaks down her CHANGE framework for coaching, including clarifying a positive goal, building hope, taking tiny first steps, navigating the bigger picture, going for it, and expanding into what comes next.

She also shares how she uses tools like the VIA Character Strengths assessment, appreciative inquiry, self-compassion, and authentic gratitude to help clients rebuild confidence without falling into forced positivity. If you've ever dealt with imposter syndrome, negative self-talk, or the sense that you're doing everything right but still feeling stuck, this conversation offers a grounded, hopeful way forward.

Dave and Dianna also explore the reality of endings and transitions in helping relationships, the mind-body impact of stress, and the challenges young adults and parents face during big life changes. Dianna's Positive Launch program brings positive psychology into the parent-child transition to college and adulthood, offering support, perspective, and practical tools for families who want to stay connected while letting go well.

This episode is ideal for anyone in a season of transition, anyone supporting a young adult, and anyone who wants a more compassionate, realistic way to build confidence and momentum. If you need proof that small shifts can create meaningful change, this is the conversation to hear.
