Speaker 3 (03:30):
You're listening to a moment of Zen right here on
seven ten WR, the voice of New york iHeartRadio. Welcome
back to the Clean Collective segment, brought to you by
Society Brands and Clonomic.

Speaker 4 (03:42):
Today we're diving into a conversation every mom needs.

Speaker 3 (03:45):
To hear, especially if you've ever felt like your workouts
are draining you more than they're helping. You're eating cleanish,
squeezing in your plates, or strength training when you can,
but still something feels off. In today's segment, brought to
you by Lenomic and Society Brands, we're asking the bold question,
is your workout making you tired, toxic, or totally ineffective?

(04:08):
Because clean living isn't just what's in your pantry, it's
what's happening inside.

Speaker 4 (04:12):
Your fascia, your breath, your hormones, and yes, your core.
A recent study published.

Speaker 3 (04:17):
In the Journal of Women's Health Physical Therapy found that
nearly one in three postparton mamas still experience core dysfunction
up to seven years. That's right, seven years after birthing
those babies, and most of them don't even realize it.
And at the same time, the Environmental Working Group has
found that the average woman is exposed to over one
hundred and sixty eight chemicals that's daily through personal care

(04:40):
and cleaning products alone. So what happens when you combine
a weakened foundation with a body burdened with invisible toxins
while fatigue, bloating, hormonal chaos, and a fitness routine that
feels like it's failing you. Luckily, my guest today has
the blueprint to fix all of that from the inside
out truly. Joining me is Eric Zeal. She's a leading

(05:03):
expert in deep core, facial and pre post natal training
with the over twenty years of experience.

Speaker 5 (05:08):
She's the founder of Core Athletica, the creator of Core
Rehab program, Knocked Up Fitness, Knocked Up Fitness Mamas, Are
you Listening, and host of the Core Connections podcast. She
has a degree in Health and Human performance and certifications
and functional diagnostic nutrition. She's on a mission to help
women reconnect with their bodies through movement, breath work, and yes,

(05:29):
clean empowered living. Welcome to the show, Superstar. Well, thank
you so much for having me. I absolutely love this conversation.

Speaker 3 (05:36):
I'm thrilled to have you. So let's start with the
question behind this segment. Can a workout actually make you toxic?
So most people associate movement with detox, but you teach
that without the right foundational work, you can actually cause
more harm than healing.

Speaker 4 (05:52):
So what's going on there? Yeah?

Speaker 6 (05:54):
So, I having worked with thousands of women today, right,
one common thing that I see time time again with
women when it comes to our workouts is we've kind
of been ingrained to go hard or go home in
a sense, and so if we're working out really hard,
that could be depleting us specifically, you know, talking about
like cortisol for example, Without going too deep into that,

(06:17):
if we're working out harder then our body really can
tolerate it can.

Speaker 4 (06:21):
Be depleting us.

Speaker 6 (06:22):
And I have seen and helped so many women over
the years get them to shift their focus on their
movement and really focus on doing nourishing movement for their body,
which is the foundations of everything that I teach because
when we learn to work with our body and slow
down our movement, focus on our breath, focus on our
PUBLC floor and our deep core, our posture, how we're

(06:44):
moving through our day things like that, and not just
going to the gym or doing some like hardcore kick
butt workout that could be depleting us.

Speaker 4 (06:52):
Now, there's a time and a place for a harder workout.

Speaker 6 (06:54):
But you know, especially you know moms who a lot
of times moms are really tired, they're depleted, they don't
have enough nutrients in their body, they don't have enough sleep,
and then they think, Okay, I got a squeeze in
this really hard, really high intensity workout multiple times a week.
This is where like we need to start looking at
movement like we look at food.

Speaker 4 (07:14):
The movement should be nourishing for your body.

Speaker 6 (07:16):
And that is like the foundation of what I really
want moms and women in general to be recognizing with
their workouts.

Speaker 4 (07:24):
Yeah, you're one hundred percent right.

Speaker 3 (07:26):
That's such a powerful reframe, especially for women who've been
taught to push harder or sweat more.

Speaker 4 (07:31):
As the only route to quote unquote healthy.

Speaker 3 (07:34):
Right, And when you layer in years of stress and
lack of sleep and past pregnancies. It's no wonder why
so many of us feel wiped out after working out.
You're one hundred percent right, it makes sense. Now talk
to me about some of the biggest mistakes you see
moms making in their workouts.

Speaker 4 (07:49):
I mean, particularly when it comes to rebuilding their core
or pelvit floor.

Speaker 6 (07:55):
So the common theme is after babies, a lot of
moms go too hard, too fast, because we're in that
societal space where you go on Instagram you see these
celebrity moms having babies and like boom, like right away
they're back to looking trim and fit in all of that.
And that's not reality for most moms, nor should it be, honestly,

(08:15):
something we strive for. And so when moms then right
away after having a baby or her six week checkup,
doctor's like, okay, you're good to go, and she thinks, oh, well,
I'm just going to go back to doing what I
was doing before I had my baby. Maybe that's running,
maybe that's high intensity training, CrossFit, things like that, and
then she starts to experience so many aches and pains,

(08:36):
she starts peeing her pants things like that, because especially
in those first six months postpartum, she still has all
this relax in her body. So ladies listening in those
first six months postpartum, like that's when you have to
be the most cautious to not actually cause more harm.
And I've heard it from many moms where they're like,
I just wanted to get my body back so bad

(08:58):
that I went back to doing everything doing before, lots
of crunches, running, And the next thing you know, she's
dealing with pelvic organ prolapse, which in my opinion, is
one hundred percent preventable when we can get moms the
right information. And then for those that are past that
six months, maybe your six years, maybe you're twenty years
since you've had your last baby. If we never really

(09:21):
we're taught or educated about our pelvic floor, our breath,
our posture, and how to work.

Speaker 4 (09:26):
To realign our body.

Speaker 6 (09:29):
So many aches and pains tend to come from that
pregnancy posture that tends to kind of stay there for moms,
you know, years to come. I can be Grandma's and
I work with the grandma age and I notice things
that like this, she probably had this posture, this imbalance
since her pregnancies, and it could have been twenty or
thirty years ago.

Speaker 3 (09:49):
Now, when we talk about brands that are out there
in this particular one clonomic is about reducing our toxic load.

Speaker 4 (09:56):
So this felt very, very natural to talk to you about.

Speaker 3 (09:59):
From the cleaning supplies under our sinks to the laundry
detergents in our closets, you know it all matters, and
you take it further. You talk about internal detoxification through
movement and breathwork, So can you walk us through how
that actually works and how moms can incorporate that into
our daily routines and lives.

Speaker 4 (10:18):
Absolutely.

Speaker 6 (10:19):
So, we have this fabulous tissue in our body called fascia.
I feel like it's becoming more of a buzzword, but
just really quick for everyone listening. Like, fascia is connect
a tissue that connects from our toes to the top
of our head, and it wraps around our organs. It
wraps around all of our muscles, all of our nerves.
So so much of what I teach is is teaching

(10:40):
you how to get into your fascial system. Right, we
hear we know about our muscular system. If you're working
your muscular system, you're not necessarily getting that nastye stretch
and strengthening of your fascial tissue. But when we focus
on our fascial system and that fascial movement, then.

Speaker 4 (10:56):
We're also working our muscles as well. So posture matters.

Speaker 6 (11:00):
If you just right now we've been listening, If you're
driving in your car listening to this, and you just
think about lengthening up maas and tall, not like soldier straight,
but just like a light lift from your pelvis to
the top of your head.

Speaker 4 (11:10):
Right there, you have instantly.

Speaker 6 (11:11):
Gone ahead and kind of activated and woken up the
fascia from your pelvic floor through the top of your head.

Speaker 4 (11:18):
This is why posture matters.

Speaker 6 (11:19):
So if we're sitting all day like this, we are compressed,
our nerves are compressed, our fashil system is getting tighter
and tighter in a compressed position. But if we're thinking
about lengthening, whether it's sitting carrying kids, carrying groceries, doing
our lifting workouts at the gym, and whatever it might be,
we're going to get more into our fascial system.

Speaker 4 (11:38):
What does that fashion system also do well.

Speaker 6 (11:41):
We have a lot of lymph in our entire body,
right we know, through our lymphatic system and keeping those
juices flowing through our lymphatic system is very important for
true detoxification of our body.

Speaker 4 (11:53):
So this is where I'm all like, yeh, sweating is great.

Speaker 6 (11:55):
I love sweating, but we don't always have to sweat
in a workout for a workout to be benefit.

Speaker 4 (12:00):
That's what saunas are for. Guys. I love Soona a
whole other time, Goo good conversation.

Speaker 6 (12:04):
But if you don't sweat in your workout and go
get in asana. So with the workouts, when we I
do a lot of like therapeutic ball rolling and breath work.
So when we learn how to move by stimulating our
pulvic floor and our deep core, so like all of
our organs in our body, we stimulate all that fascial
tissue with our gentle movements and we're always working on opposition.

(12:25):
So what we're doing is we're grabbing our fascial tissue
and we're moving and like like kind of massaging our
lymph tissue, our lymphatic you know, system throughout our entire body,
and it can be a.

Speaker 4 (12:37):
Natural way to get your lymph moving.

Speaker 6 (12:39):
So I love the movement from a lymphatic perspective and
moving stuff out.

Speaker 4 (12:43):
The other thing is that we hold so.

Speaker 6 (12:47):
Much junk, trauma, whatever you want to call it, in
our fascial tissue. I see in here time and time
again from my ladies. When I start getting them moving
and we start opening up their hips and their pups
a little little bit more like that, they're like, oh
my gosh, Erica, I feel like I just I just
want to cry, And they're like, I have no idea why.

Speaker 4 (13:05):
Well, it's very normal. It's a very normal response.

Speaker 6 (13:08):
When we start to move our tissue, we are starting
to move junk out of our body that we've been
energetically holding onto. So we're getting the physical detoxification and
we're also getting an energetic emotional detoxification as well.

Speaker 3 (13:24):
And it's a compassionate reminder that it's never too late, right,
and that even small tweak to how we breathe, move,
and detox actually.

Speaker 4 (13:33):
Completely changes the way we feel in our own skin.
So I love this. Now, let's talk about generational impact.

Speaker 3 (13:39):
So many of us are cleaning up our routines, not
just for ourselves.

Speaker 4 (13:44):
But for our kids.

Speaker 3 (13:45):
I know I'm doing it right now physically and emotionally
right detoxing that trauma. So how do you see this
new wave of cleaning functional well in the shaping motherhood today,
we're very different than our moms were, you know, two
decades ago.

Speaker 4 (14:00):
Yeah, I think you know.

Speaker 6 (14:02):
For me personally, it's like that awareness of what can
we use from local sources.

Speaker 3 (14:07):
Right.

Speaker 6 (14:08):
I live in the Midwest, so it's like farmers' markets,
local local animal proteins, things like that.

Speaker 4 (14:15):
I think that's really important.

Speaker 6 (14:16):
We're using less packaging that way, we're supporting the local economy.
I think that's also really important. That sustainable farming. I
think that's really important. That the more that we can
put our money into the practices that we want to
see more of for our family, our kids, the next generations,
then that sustainability, that the right way of farming animals

(14:39):
and things like that, that will continue to grow. And
I feel like we're seeing it trending and it's getting
a little bit bigger than it was, say five and
ten years ago, because there is more awareness of like
let's eat grass fed, grass finished beef, right, things like that,
for example, And let's get produce that's in season and
get it from the local farmers or gardeners or try

(15:00):
to raise on your own what you can, even if
it's as symbol as like getting some herbs going in
your house or whatever it might be, and it's like,
it's just those baby sits. And I think sometimes we
think we have to do all of it, and that's
unrealistic for anyone. And I'm always like, just start with,
like one thing, what's the one thing you can add
in right now? And that's true with whether we're talking
about switching our products out slowly over time, as we

(15:23):
run out of old things, what's the next thing we're
going to place it with that's a healthier, less toxic
or non toxic hopefully version. And the same with our food,
the same with our movement, because we can overwhelm ourselves
as like trying to do everything.

Speaker 3 (15:36):
I love this narrative that moms have really stepped up
to the plate for our families and for our kids,
and you're doing it right there on social media helping
us get to that better place for longevity. So I mean, Eric,
the work that you're doing is truly helping moms like
myself be better versions of ourselves.

Speaker 4 (15:53):
So good job, well, thank you so much.

Speaker 3 (15:56):
It's true if you're not just an educator, you're also
an entrepreneur.

Speaker 4 (15:59):
So how has building core Athletica, and I love that.
I love that name.

Speaker 3 (16:04):
Thank you and your various programs you have many help
you evolved as a mother, as a parent, as a leader,
as a woman. What's one lesson you'd want other wellness
focused moms to hear.

Speaker 6 (16:15):
I think the biggest thing is, because as I was
million over this thought earlier, is you know, we always
want to do everything as a mom, and especially as
an entrepreneur, You're like, I want to do everything as
a mom.

Speaker 4 (16:27):
I want to do everything in my business.

Speaker 6 (16:29):
It's doing what you can in that moment of where
you are in life.

Speaker 4 (16:33):
You know.

Speaker 6 (16:34):
I think about that because like I'm in summer, my
oldest going off to college and all these things, and
it's like in my mind, I'm always like, there's more
I want to be doing for my business. But I
remind myself that family is the most important, and there's seasons, right,
So what is it that you want to prioritize right
now and in a month from now? It can shift
a little bit because I think as moms were always like, again,

(16:54):
we got to do everything, and while we can do
a lot of everything a lot, we can't do everything
everything like to one hundred and ten percent all the
time because we'll burn ourselves out. So it has to
kind of ebb and flow where you're at in your
season of life and with your kids and with your business.
And there's times and periods where I'm going to put
more energy into my business once my kids are in school,

(17:15):
and there's times where summer, for example, it's all about
the kids and I'm just kind to kind of coast
in my business a little bit. And that's okay, Like
I think, to be okay with that is really really important.
Otherwise we're just trying to beat ourselves up because we
feel like we're not doing enough in a sense.

Speaker 3 (17:31):
But we are agree now before we sign off, one
last question. So we've spent this segment unpacking how internal
health is influenced by our breath, our.

Speaker 4 (17:38):
Movement, and our choices. But I'm going to go back
to one specific thing. Zooming out clean living doesn't stop
at our bodies. I repeated this earlier.

Speaker 3 (17:47):
It extends to the air we breathe, the products we use,
and the planet will leave behind for our children. So
at Clonomic, the brand sponsor, the mission is crystal clear.
It's reduced toxic load at every level from ditching plastic
and parabins, to eliminating waste and invisible pollutants like synthetic
fragrances and even chemtrail emissions from conventional products. I asked

(18:09):
you this a little bit earlier, and we touched on it.
But there's a new generation of clean living well that's
not just about personal health, but about planetary wealth, influencing
the way we raise our kids and we build our
business and we show up as conscious women. So how
do you see this new generation really paving the way
for our children? Are your kids interested in toxic chemptrails

(18:30):
and blueprints or do you think that it's really truly
up to us to.

Speaker 4 (18:34):
Frame their mind.

Speaker 6 (18:35):
I think it starts in the household, because I don't
see it coming from mainstream or you know, from the
school system.

Speaker 4 (18:43):
So I do think it still starts from.

Speaker 6 (18:45):
Us moms educating ourselves and teaching our kids about healthy eating.
And you know, for me, it's all about educating educating
my kids about what they're eating and how it's nourishing
their body, and looking at products and clean products, like
whatever you put on your skin, whatever you put in
your mouth is positively or negatively affecting your health, your brain,

(19:05):
how your brain is functioning, how your energy like. And
for me, I like finding with my kids, like kind
of paining points for them. And I always like when
you can find those with your kids, it helps motivate
them to understand and want to learn more. And so
as my kids have gotten older, I've seen them take
initiative and I hear comments and things and I'm like, oh,
they really do listen.

Speaker 4 (19:22):
They really do. It's so fascinating.

Speaker 6 (19:24):
And one of the things I feel that I try
to do with my kids and I do with myself
is get outside more. I think that it's so easy
to get busy, busy, and we just we have gotten
disconnected from nature. I'm such a nature person, Like our
house is in the woods essentially because I like just
feel drawn to that, and I think a lot of
people are missing out on that. And again, like I said,

(19:47):
with my kids, I feel like in schools are sitting
so much, they're inside so much. So really trying to
encourage kids to get outside get that natural sunlight. I
feel like that's a conversation that's coming out more about
how actuals like good sunlight with not being flathered with
lots of sunscreen. But some good quality sun every single
day is really really important for so many things in

(20:09):
our body. And so that's one thing I know as
we get into the school the school year, I'm like kids, like,
when you're home, you need to get your butts outside,
get some sun, get out in the grass, run around,
you know, things like that. So I just I'm a
big nature person and I think we need to be
doing more of that because it helps calm our nervous
system and so many benefits to all of that.

Speaker 3 (20:27):
You're one hundred percent right, yes, yes, yes, that's the
evolution we need, one where self care and planet care
are no longer separate conversations and the kids are part
of it. And the more we simplify, the more powerful
our impact becomes, from what we inhale to what we
clean with to how we model sustainability in our homes.
So thank you for weaving that thread so beautifully, Erica.

(20:49):
We are officially out of time by I could talk
to you all day. We clearly speak the same language,
and I'd love to have you back on at some point,

Speaker 4 (22:27):
We're chatting from penn to Powerhouse.

Speaker 3 (22:31):
Mary Cutter's journey from Nashville hit maker to viral country
star now meets the Devil, the dream, and the drive
from the heart of rural Kentucky. Today's guest is in fact,
rewriting the playbook for country music.

Speaker 4 (22:44):
She's not just singing songs, She's shaking the industry awake.
Mary Cutter is country music's fearless truth teller. She's a
voice for the voiceless and a champion of the working class.

Speaker 3 (22:55):
With over twenty million streams, Billboard's Top twenty songwriting credits,
and multiple viral smashes to her name, Mary's journey from
Nashville hitmaker to headlining star is nothing short of just electrifying.
Before taking center stage herself, Mary penned chart poppers for
Bailey Zimmerman, Nate Smith, and Alexandra Kay, songs that went platinum, gold,

(23:18):
and even landed on film and TV. But her own
breakout moment came with Devil's Money, which is a haunting
anthem inspired by her bootlegger great grandfather that went viral
in twenty twenty four with over thirty million views. And
then then came The Devil World lab Coat. That's one
of my favorites. It's a searing ballad tackling America's opioid epidemic,

(23:39):
which has racked up more than twenty five million views
and sparked conversations just far beyond the music scene has
ever imagined. Now she's produced by Jason al Dion's longtime bandleaders,
Kurt Allison and Tolly Kennedy. Her upcoming EP, The Great
American Struggle, tells ross stories of resilience, addiction, pride and survival.

(24:00):
And while she's selling out shows and sharing stages with
legends like Hank Junior and Pam Tillis, she's also giving
back through her righteous redneck Robinhood Fund, proving she's as
committed to her fans as she is to her craft.

Speaker 4 (24:13):
Welcome to the show, superstar. Oh man, I'm so excited
to be here. I'll tell you what I wish I
could keep you in my pocket. That sounded real good
for an intro. My goodness.

Speaker 3 (24:20):
Now I want to pivot back to your viral breakout,
Devil's Money.

Speaker 4 (24:24):
All right, that's already a massed over thirty million views.

Speaker 3 (24:27):
The song draws on your own family's history, but it
does resonate far beyond Kentucky. I mean, storytelling in country
music has always been about truth telling, right from Johnny
Cash to Loretto Lynn. And you're carrying that torch into
the digital age where a TikTok video can reach millions overnight.
So how did Devil's Money come to life? And why

(24:49):
do you think it hit such a nerve.

Speaker 4 (24:50):
With people across America? That's good question.

Speaker 7 (24:55):
Well, so I grew up hearing stories about my great
grandfather and.

Speaker 4 (25:00):
My great granddaddy.

Speaker 7 (25:01):
He was a bootlegger in central Kentucky, in the Barchtown area,
and he ended up using some of the money from
his bootlegging to build a church. And I remember as
a little girl, we'd be driving home and my mom
would point down the road, said, down that road, because
I was off this little country road. That's where your
great granddaddy built a church. And he was a bootlegger.

(25:21):
And it always kind of stuck with me, the idea
of the speller that you know, had some good, had
some bad, you know, but he did a lot of
great for his community. And I think that there's more
people than I've realized that had bootlegging in their family
as well. And it's really been neat sharing that story
and just his legacy.

Speaker 4 (25:42):
Yeah, that's powerful. I mean it proves that when you
strip away.

Speaker 3 (25:45):
The gloss and sing from real life. You know, people
don't just listen, they see themselves in your story. Right,
So the Devil Wore a Lot quote, let's talk about that.
So your song, The Devil Wore a Lot quote. Incredible
title has sparked serious converse around the opioid crisis. We
alluded to this a little bit earlier in the introduction,
and but with over twenty five million views in counting,

(26:07):
you've put into lyrics what many families feel but can't say.
And Big Pharma has paid more than fifty billion in
opioid related settlements, but statistics still remain grim. There's eighty
thousand people that have died from the opioid overdose in
the US.

Speaker 4 (26:25):
In twenty twenty three alone.

Speaker 3 (26:28):
Kentucky, your home state, has one of the highest overdose
rates in the entire nation. What made you decide to
take on such a heavy subject in your music and
what do you hope fans walk away with after hearing
that song.

Speaker 4 (26:41):
I mean, I saw.

Speaker 7 (26:41):
Firsthand what the opioid epidemic did to my hometown. I mean,
just to give you an idea, we had a small
private college where I'm from that they actually turn into
a rehab center. There's more people they need to go
to rehab centers than to college, you know all I'm saying.
And it's a very tough thing to talk about and

(27:02):
to think about, you know, but I wanted to write
a song that just kind of told the truth and
was a voice to the voiceless man. I grew up
seeing with my own eyeballs people that I love that
their lives were wrecked.

Speaker 4 (27:13):
You know.

Speaker 7 (27:13):
You see so many kiddos that you know, they lost
their parents, their grandparents are raising them, and then there's
just like this cycle of how do.

Speaker 4 (27:21):
You get out of it?

Speaker 7 (27:22):
And and obviously there's a lot of layers to the onion,
but it did start, uh where it started. And uh,
you know, I was sitting on this idea for a
while and it's not the sexiest idea that people necessarily
want to write about, but I knew it was a
story that needed to be told. And I wish it
hadn't resonated with people to the level that it has.

(27:43):
I wish there wasn't a need for it too. But
it's been very eye opening for me seeing just in
the comment sections of these videos out closed with this
snippets of the songs, where people were like, this happened
in Massachusetts, Well, this happened in West Virginia. In my brain,
I just knew from my own life, you know, where
I grew up where.

Speaker 4 (28:01):
It affected things. But it was all across the country. Yeah,
I mean, you're not just an artist, Mary, You're an advocate.
That song doesn't just entertain, it educates and that's why
people love it. Now, let's chat about that. From songwriter
to star.

Speaker 3 (28:15):
Where you're at right now, because before the Spotlight, you
were already shaping the sound of country music. Writing hits
for Bailey Zimmermann and Nate Smith. I mean that kind
of behind the scene influence is really rare. And then
you made the leap to put your own voice out front, right,
So what was the turning point where you said, you
know what, it's time for Mary Cutter to step out
of the writer's.

Speaker 4 (28:35):
Room and into the spotlight.

Speaker 7 (28:37):
Well, you know, I feel like I've been so blessed.
I moved down to Nashville from Kentucky. I didn't know
nothing about nothing about the music business. But I started
to get into writing rooms and I was making my
bread and butter writing songs for other artists to sing
the songs.

Speaker 4 (28:50):
And it's been like.

Speaker 7 (28:51):
That for the last several years. But I saw firsthand.
You know, Bailey and Nate are great examples where they
both broke from posting songs on social media than it
going viral. And I really didn't know how all the
business things worked. But I always told myself, man, if
I ever have a moment where there gets to be

(29:12):
a little bit of you know, a little bit of
a fire on social media, to keep the pedal down.
And Devil's Money ended up being that where I just
posted a small clip of the song, and of course
it's a true story. I was literally right in front
of the church of where he you know, what he built,
and when that took far, I just kept the pedal
down and it was always in my heart to sing songs.

(29:34):
I just you know, doors get opened and then he
walked through them. You know.

Speaker 4 (29:38):
Wow. I mean I love that.

Speaker 3 (29:40):
Stepping into your own story after helping tell so many
others is such a bold move.

Speaker 4 (29:46):
But it's exactly why you are here, right, Thanks girl,
That means a lot to me. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (29:51):
Now this year alone, you opened for Hank Junior and
Pam Tillis at Sturgis, sold out Eddie's Addact in Atlanta,
and were invited to you.

Speaker 4 (30:00):
See, to see festival in Germany. I mean, you're everywhere.
That's global reach from grassroots beginnings, right if you think
of it. It was crazy.

Speaker 3 (30:08):
So what's the energy like in those live shows and
how this is.

Speaker 4 (30:12):
Connecting with the crowd in real time shape the way
you write your music.

Speaker 7 (30:16):
It's everything, girlfriend, straight up, and it has been a
roller coaster.

Speaker 4 (30:20):
Like the Germany show.

Speaker 7 (30:21):
I found out the night before we were leaving someone
had gotten sick.

Speaker 4 (30:25):
There was an open slot.

Speaker 7 (30:26):
They called me up, I said, hey, count me, and
I'm going to go buy a suitcase right now. And
the opening shows have been awesome. My first headlining show
we sold out, like you said. And I'm literally about
to go on my first headline a tour in November
and there's going to be somewhere between eight and ten
shows all in from Ohio all the way down to Alabama.

(30:47):
And it really does shape everything because obviously I am
a very lyrically German person, but I like my music
to rock and seeing it in real time. Obviously, it's
so cool posting the video, seeing the view numbers do
what they're doing. But when you're literally a couple of
weeks ago when I was obed up for Hate Junior,
those fourteen thousand people up front then another four thousand

(31:08):
in the back, and so I'm singing and I'm seeing
a real time, you know, folks connecting with the songs,
and that's just everything.

Speaker 4 (31:17):
That's literally why you do it.

Speaker 3 (31:18):
Teaching tills, like when you're talking about it and I'm
not there, but I'm getting chills because I can actually
feel the passion and the happiness and your voice and
it's just this, there's nothing like a live audience to
remind us why music is medicine. It's healing, it's uniting,
and it's just unforgettable. And your lyrics are unforgettable. Now,
let's talk about The Great American Struggle. So your upcoming EP,

(31:41):
The Great American Struggle, very fitting name, is already making waves,
with demos surpassing.

Speaker 4 (31:46):
Fifty million views before release.

Speaker 3 (31:48):
The title itself, like I said, speaks volumes about resilience
and addiction and survival. I mean, these are themes that
mirror headlines across the US.

Speaker 4 (31:57):
So you're on the money. What does the The Great
Americans Struggle meaning to you personally?

Speaker 3 (32:02):
And why do you feel that this particular project is
arriving at exactly the right time?

Speaker 4 (32:08):
Mm hmm. You know what, no.

Speaker 7 (32:10):
One's even asked me that before, and that's why you
do what you do, Honey.

Speaker 4 (32:13):
You know what I'm saying.

Speaker 7 (32:14):
And you know this is the thing I was thinking
about it.

Speaker 4 (32:18):
You know, everyone, you know, even if you have.

Speaker 7 (32:20):
The most cushiony life of all time, you still get
handed a little bit of you know, struggle in life, right,
some people are handed a double portion, right. And I've
always been just so mesmerized, but I don't know about you,
but I love reading memoirs and biographies, watching documentaries about
people that have overcome things, and I wanted to write

(32:40):
a project where, you know, and I naturally lean into storytelling.
You know, not every song will be a story song,
I guess, but a lot of them will be. And
they're just gonna be songs about all different subjects, you
know that the folks go through and I hope it
brings hope to people. And it's been really neat, you know,
sharing clips of songs while I write them and seeing

(33:03):
the folks gravitate towards the real stuff I've in. That's
so cool and I'm just pumped. It turned out real good.

Speaker 4 (33:11):
So far.

Speaker 7 (33:12):
We're only four songs in though that we've recorded, and
so the day is still young, or the night is
still young. We're still recording more songs. I can't wait
for folks to hear them though. That's the kind of
truth people are craving right now. So we need artists
who aren't afraid to say the hard things. So you're
four songs and that will multiply very quickly.

Speaker 4 (33:33):
Now, let's chat beyond the stage, because you've launched the
righteous redneck Robinhood Fund to give back to communities in
every city you play.

Speaker 3 (33:42):
This fantastic in an industry often focused only on charts
and ticket sales. That makes you stand out. So what
inspired you to start this fund and how do you
see music and philanthropy working hand in hand. So the
name right's right back, Robin Hood. It came from a
line and Devil's Money. In the back end of first
it talks about my great granddaddy.

Speaker 7 (34:02):
Yeah, you know, people were judging them, you know, but
at the same time he was using you know that
bootlegging cash to you know, build pews and stained glass
like a righteous redneck Robin Hood. And I'm just so
inspired by a story that he was far from perfect,
but he's still used what he had to help people.
And the way I see it, man, when I'm going

(34:22):
into you know, Atlanta, Georgia, you know, I guarantee that
there's gonna be you know, a center or a school
or a prison that you know, maybe I can swing
by before the show or afterwards, you know, and uh,
just love on the people.

Speaker 4 (34:36):
That's really what it comes down to.

Speaker 7 (34:38):
And uh, I'm so excited about it.

Speaker 3 (34:39):
Oh that granddad of yours is looking down, and he's
just so proud.

Speaker 4 (34:43):
What's his name?

Speaker 3 (34:44):
His name was Henry, Henry Well, Henry, Welcome to the show,
Henry Man.

Speaker 4 (34:49):
I hope he's proud your I'm really proud of my roots.
I really am. Henry's here, he's like cheering you on
right now. He's he he might be pulling some streams.

Speaker 7 (34:57):
So I'll tell you what, this last year and a
year and a half, I've just really been crazy and
I'm just buckle up, you know what I'm saying, like,
ready to go.

Speaker 3 (35:04):
That's beautiful because it says you're not just singing to people,
you're standing with them.

Speaker 4 (35:09):
Right And I think that's what.

Speaker 3 (35:10):
Oh.

Speaker 4 (35:11):
I love that.

Speaker 3 (35:11):
Yeah, you're standing with them. That's what your granddad would
be most proud of.

Speaker 4 (35:14):
And I think that that's the heart of it all.

Speaker 3 (35:16):
And it comes full circle and every now and then
it skips a generation.

Speaker 4 (35:20):
But I think he handed you the torch. Thank you.
That means a lot to me, sugar, thank you. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (35:24):
While we are at the end of our date, my friend,
if you could go back and give advice to your
younger self, Mary, what would you say to her?

Speaker 7 (35:31):
I would tell her just to keep her blinders on
you know, just do this and work hard and get
up in the morning. And you know, I get up
every day at five am and I run five miles
and I solo write in for my sessions. And I'll
tell you what I've been doing that for. I guess
about the last two years, and it changed my life.
And when you do that and you wrot from the heart,
and you just you know, you believe in yourself.

Speaker 4 (35:52):
You just go for it. We only got one life,
you know what I'm saying.

Speaker 7 (35:56):
Let's live it up.

Welcome back, beautiful Tri State area. We're joined by our
resident expert, the Plastic Stock. Welcome back to the Going
Deep segment brought to you by CO two Lyft doctor
Samuel Salsato.

Speaker 4 (37:27):
He's a board certified plastic.

Speaker 3 (37:28):
Surgeon and the founder of TPDMD in Corona, California. He's
renowned for his expertise in esthetic plastic surgery. He's dedicated
to delivering personalized care and achieving natural looking results for
his patients.

Speaker 4 (37:40):
Doctor Salsato is very highly respected in his.

Speaker 3 (37:43):
Field, presents at national and international conferences, training other surgeons
in surgical techniques, and publishing studies in the highest rated
plastic surgery journals.

Speaker 4 (37:52):
He's going to join us right now.

Speaker 3 (37:54):
To share his expertise on popular treatments as the temperatures drop,
the importance of combination there, and how CO two lift
fits into the mix.

Speaker 4 (38:02):
Welcome back to.

Speaker 3 (38:03):
The show, a superstar, thanks so much so we're going
to dive right in. Back in July we covered summer treatments,
but now with temperatures dropping in October right around the corner,
many patients are returning to the clinic. And you've seen
this all too well, so we know fall often brings
a natural slow down after summer travel, giving people time
to really focus on themselves.

Speaker 4 (38:23):
Plus, the cooler weather coupled.

Speaker 3 (38:25):
With less sun exposure creates a very helpful environment I
think for post procedure recovery. So doctor salsay Ito, is
patients settled back into their routines. What treatments surgical and
non surgical are you seeing seeing a rise in popularity
this season?

Speaker 9 (38:39):
Yeah, fall brings a lot of changes. If you notice,
I rarely deviate from blue suits. I'm wearing my fall
colors today in.

Speaker 4 (38:46):
Honor of that.

Speaker 9 (38:47):
But yeah, fall, fall brings a lot of different treatment
options that we didn't have before. During the longer days,
when people are out in the sun, they're getting exposed.
So what we see a big shift in the fall.
We see a shift to lasers, chemical peels, things that
are going to do facial rejuvenation, things that require down
time and time away from the sun that people don't
want to sacrifice during the summer. So a lot of

(39:09):
chemical peels, a lot of lasers, a lot of micro needling,
and things that we do to rejuvenate the skin after
the harsh summer exposure.

Speaker 3 (39:15):
Now let's focus specifically where you just said that rejuvenation.
Not everyone is as diligent with sun protection as they
should be, and after a long summer of sun exposure,
that can show in the form of wrinkles and pigmentation,
and even hyperpigmentation and premature aging. I know that at
your medspot you offer variety of these treatments to address
these very concerns. So can you quickly break down some

(39:37):
of the most effective treatments and going one step further,
how patients can really elevate the outcomes with products like
COEO two lift pro in a combo therapy.

Speaker 9 (39:47):
Absolutely, So let's take it from low medium high in
terms of the amount of downtime, the amount of effectiveness,
and the amount of financial investment. So starting on the
low side, we have light chemical pills, salicilic acid, polic
acid peels, the ZEO essential stimulator peel. These are ones
that don't require a lot of downtime. You don't peel
per se, you just kind of refresh the skin. Hydrofacials

(40:10):
these are on the lower end. Then you've got the
medium spectrum. These are medium chemical peels, so like a
low concentration TCA peel or a stronger a stronger glycolic
acid peel. And then we go to the high which
is things like chemical peels, micro needling and laser the
two most effective things that you can do are a

(40:31):
chemical peel, a deep TCA peel, something in the twenty
five to thirty percent TCA and then a laser, so
a CO two laser, which is a carbon dioxide laser.
Those are both fantastic for rejuvenating the skin. They just
require more downtime because you will peel, it will slough
off those upper layers of skin, but they'll reveal that beautiful, luminescent,

(40:53):
baby smooth skin.

Speaker 4 (40:55):
That sounds so rewarding. I want to come to your office.

Speaker 3 (40:57):
So how do you recommend patients continue to use this
to lift pro not just ease their comfort, not to
just to like ease their comfort level, but to recover
faster and also maintain those long term results you're talking about.

Speaker 9 (41:08):
Yeah, So with each of those levels of treatments, we
combine them with CO two Lift Pro, meaning every one
of those be it the low, the medium, the high intensity,
we always do a CO two lift pro treatment afterwards.
The reason for that being is it's going to bring
that oxygenated blood flow we have before and afters We're
going to send you that have the immediate post treatment

(41:29):
redness irritation of the skin, and then immediately post CO
two lift treatment you'll see the skin is pink. We
have all that oxygenated blood flow rushing in which washes
out the redness, the irritation, and patients almost look like
they didn't have a treatment done. It's really fantastic for
that quick recovery. So we do one immediately post procedure.
We send them home with this three pack, so they'll

(41:51):
they'll do two at home every other day so that
they really get that skin refresh It speeds up recovery
and also helps hydrate in that time when patients are
peeling and feeling uncomfortable.

Speaker 3 (42:02):
Yeah, and on a more logistical note, I mean, for
many patients, the procedure itself is already a significant monetary investment,
so for some they may feel hesitant about adding pre
and post treatment options on top of that. So how
do you educate patients on the value of combination therapies
and help them understand that these additional steps aren't just
add ons, but more so vital to.

Speaker 4 (42:24):
Achieving the best, longest lasting result.

Speaker 9 (42:27):
Right, Yeah, that's exactly the point. So they're already investing
this much money into the treatment, so you need to
tell them, do you want your outcome to be the
best that it possibly can be. Do you want to
recover quick or do you want to get back to
normal activity. Most people are willing to spend that extra
to make sure that they get the best result. You're
already spending hundreds, maybe thousands of dollars on this treatment.

(42:47):
Another couple hundred to make sure that you have the
best results with the Coto lift Pro is absolutely essential
and we don't get much pushback on it.

Speaker 3 (42:55):
Yeah, And one thing I really appreciated about you is
your transparency. I mean not just in how you guide
your patients, but also in how you approach your own appearance.
I mean you've been open about the treatments you've had done,
and I think that level of honesty is something more
doctors than even celebrities could learn from. So Yes, And
on a personal note, as an expert in aesthetics, are

(43:16):
there any treatment routines or products that you personally rely
on or you know or or come back to in
the fall, Because if you're doing it yourself, we know
it's well vetted.

Speaker 1 (43:26):
These are the.

Speaker 9 (43:26):
Two products that you need without a doubt. You need
retine which is tretonoing this is prescription grade. And you
need CO two Lift Pro Moose. This is my daily
so I shave this morning, I put on CO two
lift Moose.

Speaker 4 (43:39):
I hate moisturizers.

Speaker 9 (43:40):
I love this, but not only is it a moisturizer.

Speaker 4 (43:43):
It's a moisturizer.

Speaker 9 (43:44):
It's got RNA, it's got DNA, it's got growth factor,
it's got salicelic acid, it's colic acid. So I tell
people all the time in my clinic, you can take
these two products here, medical grade available over the counter,
and you can throw away just about everything else in
your medicine cabinet because these two alone will get you
from vibrant, radiant skin. And I say that with one
hundred percent conviction. I will take anybody on on that.

Speaker 4 (44:06):
Now.

Speaker 9 (44:06):
If you have a specific condition like acne, roseasha malasma,
you may need an additional medication on top of that.
But these two for anyone with just regular skin type
is that's it.

Speaker 4 (44:17):
This is all you need. And I do these daily.
I love them.

Speaker 3 (44:21):

Speaker 4 (46:06):
Welcome back, beautiful Drive State Area.

Speaker 3 (46:08):
You're listening to a Moment of Zen right here on
seven ten WR, the voice of New york iHeartRadio. In
the Brain Blueprint Express segment, actor and comedian Kevin James
shares how doctor Robert Milillo, founder of the Mililo Method
and the Mililo Centers, changed his daughter's life.

Speaker 11 (46:25):
We have four incredible kids. Our oldest daughter is on
the spectrum and she suffered with it throughout her life.
I mean, she's had some tough times with She got
really bad ezema, allergic to like every type of food.
Her skin would like crack and make it very difficult.
Sleeping was miserable for her, as non existent basically, my goodness.

(46:49):
She also had very poor social skills, like she couldn't
interact with people and felt in her own world, and
it was very difficult. But she's a strong, strong girl,
and she would overcome most of that and and really
just try to live life with all that. But what
happened was she had almost like a disconnect in her

(47:09):
brain and she developed these texts, these really bad texts,
like violent texts, out of nowhere. She couldn't control them,
and like I said, they were really violent, to the
point where I had to literally hug her and try
to hold her so she you know, to prevent her
from hurting herself. And it was just horrendous for parents
to see this and to deal with this and have

(47:30):
their child deal with this. So we we we brought
her to the hospital. We didn't know what to do,
you know, we were stunned by it. And the doctors
there at the hospital they said there was really nothing
we could do that you know, it's just gonna be
something you can have to learn to live with and
you know, adapt to something like this in your family.

(47:51):
And it just really dreamed the hope. You know, in
our family, we were really upset with that. We just
we couldn't live with that answer. So my wife dove
into reading books and trying to find out another option,
and she came across doctor Malilo's book, Disconnected Kids, read
it from cover to cover and was like, this is

(48:12):
the guy we got to go talk to. And we did,
and we brought her in there and he just worked.
And I'm going to say this right now. I am
not a doctor, I obviously, and I don't know how
things work and I don't know how it all goes
down and what the process is, but I will say this.

Speaker 4 (48:29):
He fixed her texts.

Speaker 11 (48:30):
I mean within three weeks they were gone, basically, and
he told us, he said, they're gonna come back, because
they're still there, but they're definitely going to be less
and we'll get them over time. And he did that,
and they did come back a little bit here and there,
and they were they but there's so much better and
her skin got better. He put her on a program
a diet and all this stuff and working with this stuff.

(48:51):
Her social skills are other things we've noticed where she's
interacting with people and coming out of her own world
in a way, and it's just amazing to see. I
just wanted to thank him. And if there's other parents
out there who you know, have lost hope in helping

(49:14):
their children, it's heartbreaking to see that. And I just
want him to be able to help more people. And
that's it. And again, this is all from my experience
of what I went through and our family, and I
just wanted to say thank you, doctor Mililo, and hopefully
we can you can help more people. God bless.

You're listening to a Moment of Zen right here on
seven to ten WAR, the Voice of New York iHeartRadio.
In our health tip of the Week brought to you
by Sispera, today, we're chatting about seasonal transitions and why
they're a good time to simplify and reset your skincare routine.
If your skin feels stressed after summer, reduce the number
of steps and focus on gentle, consistent care. Avoid trying

(50:45):
too many new things at once, which can irritate sensitive
or sun exposed skin. Let your skin breathe and focus
on balance rather than perfection. A minimal, well timed routine
can be more effective than overloading your skin with layers.
That was our health tip of the Week brought to
you by Sispera. Be sure to check them out online
at sispa dot com and on the gram at Sispera.
