    What if radiance starts long before the moisturizer goes on? In this special bonus episode, Emily Fletcher shares highlights from The Radiance Ritual, the live workshop she created for the Ziva Experience community after people kept asking what is on her face. At 47, one biological-age assessment estimated her biological age at 37 (her result, not a promise), and she is not chasing youth. She is chasing health. She starts with the whole body: meditation as her number one skincare routine, sleep before midnight, and pleasure as medicine. Then she gets practical, from meditating with red light to her honest take on Botox and facelifts, her water rules, sunshine before screens, and a live gua sha demo. If you have ever felt like you are wasting your money on products that do not work, this episode helps you sort what matters from what does not. In this episode, Emily explores: Why skincare is never separate from the whole body, mind, and spirit Why meditation is her number one skincare routine, and how stress ages us faster than nature designed Why sleep before midnight is more restful, according to Ayurveda Pleasure as medicine, and the practices that count How she meditates with a red light panel Her honest, no-judgment take on Botox, fillers, and facelifts Her water rules: clean water, no plastic, and added minerals Why she gets sunshine in her eyes before she checks her phone A live gua sha demo: eight strokes, the lymph, and morning bounces Key Moments: 00:00 – Welcome to a very special bonus episode 00:29 – Emily at 47, and why she chases health, not youth 01:07 – Why skincare is never separate from the whole body 02:31 – “We are a chemistry set” 03:27 – Her number one skincare routine: meditation 04:36 – Sleep before midnight 05:51 – Pleasure is medicine 07:37 – Meditating with red light 08:30 – Botox, fillers, and facelifts: no judgment 09:44 – Water, minerals, and no plastic 11:31 – Sunshine before screens 12:28 – Gua sha: eight strokes and the lymph 14:31 – The product she swears by Get The Radiance Ritual Masterclass → zivameditation.com/pages/radianceritual The full 45-minute masterclass walks you through Emily’s complete inside, body, and outside rituals.

    150. Why Isn’t Everyone Realizing Minerals Are the Building Blocks of Reality? with Barton Scott [SEASON FINALE]
    Nov 3 2026
    What if the missing link between your inner work and your energy is a handful of minerals? In this Season 5 finale, Emily Fletcher sits down with Barton Scott, a chemical engineer, nutritionist, and founder of Upgraded Formulas, who has spent his career studying the most overlooked building blocks of our biology. Emily and Barton meet in Colombia at Mindvalley’s A-Fest, where he hands her a glass of water with a heavily salted rim and changes how she thinks about hydration. Barton explains why he calls blood “us on our best behavior,” why he prefers hair tissue testing, and why even a clean diet can fall short, from soil to low stomach acid to what he calls chronic rushing. He shares his view that chronic stress burns through minerals like magnesium and potassium faster, and that meditation helps slow that burn. Emily connects it to manifesting: your state of consciousness lives in a physical body, and nourishing the 3D building blocks makes the road easier. Barton also opens up about the search to help his mother that sets him on this path and the book he is writing on how nutrition becomes personality. Emily closes the season by returning to the question this show was built on. In this episode, Barton explores: Why minerals are not boring, and why he calls them the building blocks of reality Why he calls blood “us on our best behavior,” and why he prefers hair tissue testing The checking-account and retirement-account metaphor for blood and bones Why a healthy diet can still miss: soil, low stomach acid, and chronic “rushing” How he says chronic stress speeds up the burn rate of magnesium and potassium, and how meditation helps slow it Why minerals are a daily practice, like meditation “Test, don’t guess,” and how often he suggests testing Why he says most supplements don’t absorb well How a mineral-first lens connects to sleep, mood, and what you attract Key Moments: 00:00 – Welcome, and who Barton Scott is 02:30 – How they meet: A-Fest, a shared cab, and a salted glass of water 05:00 – How Barton falls in love with minerals 10:15 – “Blood is us on our best behavior” 11:54 – The checking account and the retirement account 13:38 – The waterfall in Maui: fix the problem at the top 17:56 – How would you know you’re mineral deficient? 19:13 – Emily on magnesium and sleep 20:08 – Barton’s book: how nutrition becomes personality 23:36 – Why we’re deficient: soil, low stomach acid, and “chronic rushing” 24:50 – How meditation may slow the burn rate of magnesium and potassium 27:54 – Minerals are a daily practice, like meditation 31:03 – Where to start: “test, don’t guess” 34:00 – “Turn the electricity back on”: salt, cells, and mood 36:06 – Why Barton says most supplements don’t absorb 42:58 – Perimenopause, menopause, and hormones 52:39 – Why isn’t everyone realizing minerals are the building blocks of reality? 56:27 – Why Emily started this show 56:51 – Where to find Barton About Barton Scott Barton Scott is a chemical engineer, nutritionist, and the founder of Upgraded Formulas, a supplement company built around mineral testing and absorption.

    149. Why Isn’t Everyone Building Regenerative Cities? with Tony Cho
    Oct 20 2026
    What if sustainability only sustains the status quo, and the real goal is to leave everything more alive? In this episode, Emily Fletcher sits down with her dear friend Tony Cho, regenerative placemaker, founder of Future of Cities, and author of Generation Regeneration. Tony grows up in an ashram his grandmother founded, becomes a Miami nightclub promoter, helps transform the Wynwood Arts District, and now leads the Regenaissance, a movement to build places and communities that give back more than they take. Together they define regeneration in plain language, trace where the lie of scarcity begins, and look at why a cold plunge in your building means little when the street outside is unsafe. Tony shares what Chief Nixiwaka of the Yawanawá teaches about community and dying, and what the Phoenix Arts & Innovation District in Jacksonville is proving. Emily connects it to Ziva: a regenerative future starts with regenerative minds, and a nervous system that feels safe has more capacity to build solutions. Tony also opens up about grieving his late wife, Ximena, in public, the grandmother who threatens to cut him off when he moves to Argentina, and what a lifetime of ups and downs teaches him about manifestation, readiness, and self-love. In this episode, Tony explores: What regeneration means in plain language: giving more than you take, and drinking while you pour Why sustainability only sustains the status quo Where the lie of scarcity begins, and why Tony calls it a misallocation, not a shortage Why one green building, or one cold plunge, can’t make a place regenerative What Chief Nixiwaka of the Yawanawá says about aging, dying, and village life The 15-minute city, Copenhagen’s swimmable harbor, and Milan’s Bosco Verticale as proof points How an ashram kid becomes a nightclub promoter and a Wynwood developer, and why he says he stewards this work, he doesn’t own it What grieving his late wife in community gives him and the people around him His take on manifestation: purpose behind the call, no skipped steps, and what happens when he skips meditation Nature, community, and culture: the three pillars, and why the inner work comes first Key Moments: 00:00 – Welcome, and who Tony Cho is 02:49 – “Squeezing every last drop out of the bottle” 04:44 – Honoring Ximena, and thank you for grieving out loud 08:55 – Compost: how grief becomes fertile soil 10:18 – Giving more than you take: what regeneration means 12:52 – Why sustainability only sustains the status quo 14:43 – Where the lie of scarcity begins 16:20 – Why a cold plunge means little if the street outside is unsafe 17:19 – Chief Nixiwaka on dying alone and what a village does differently 23:54 – Tenzin Seldon, and gross domestic regeneration versus GDP 25:46 – Emily on why a regenerative future starts with regenerative minds 28:25 – The 15-minute city 36:29 – “I’m dropping out, and oh, by the way, I’m eating meat” 41:09 – Stewardship over ownership 44:13 – “What is the purpose of your manifestation?” 47:38 – What happens when a visionary skips meditation 54:22 – The three pillars: nature, community, and culture 1:00:02 – Buckminster Fuller and the “Reese Witherspoon plan” 1:06:06 – The Phoenix Arts & Innovation District 1:10:30 – “A misallocation of resources, not a scarcity of resources” About Tony Cho Tony Cho is a regenerative placemaker, impact entrepreneur, and founder of Future of Cities, a platform for regenerative development, advisory, and education. He grows up in his grandmother’s ashram, helps transform Miami’s Wynwood Arts District, and now leads projects including the Phoenix Arts & Innovation District in Jacksonville, the Climate & Innovation Hub in Miami, and ChoZen, a bioregional hub for regenerative living in Sebastian, Florida.
