Elle Russ chats with Rob Mack about the modern state of dating, relationships, loneliness, happiness, and human connection in an increasingly disconnected world. Together, they explore everything from dating app fatigue, commitment paralysis, and "strategic singledom" to the rise of polyamory, self-awareness culture, trauma patterns, friendship, and the misunderstood meaning of "alpha" traits in men and women.
Drawing from both positive psychology research and personal experience, Elle and Rob unpack the emotional realities behind modern relationships with humor, insight, honesty, and philosophical depth. The conversation dives into modern loneliness, the paradox of choice, attachment, self-worth, emotional presence, and why learning to enjoy your own company may be one of the foundations of a healthy relationship.

On today's episode, Elle Russ speaks with Karen about her harrowing thyroid journey. Her story is one of the most extreme and inspiring thyroid recoveries. After years of debilitating hypothyroid symptoms, failed T4-only treatment, crushing fatigue, hair loss, depression, migraines, and being repeatedly dismissed by doctors, Karen's health deteriorated so severely that she was told she could die if things didn't change quickly.
Desperate for answers, Karen took her health into her own hands and discovered something most doctors never discuss: some thyroid patients simply do not do well on T4-only medication and may require direct T3 therapy - sometimes in much higher doses than conventional medicine is comfortable with.
In this episode, Karen shares her brutal journey through sourcing medication internationally out of desperation, and finally finding the treatment that gave her life back. Today, after transitioning to T3-only therapy, Karen has:
- all-day stamina
- dramatically improved mental clarity
- freedom from constant migraines
- renewed confidence
- improved hair growth
- the ability to travel, hike, plan life again, and fully show up for her marriage and future
This is a powerful conversation about perseverance, patient advocacy, medical gaslighting, and the life-changing impact of proper thyroid treatment.
If you've ever been told your labs are "normal" while feeling anything but normal…this episode is for you.

In this episode, Elle Russ breaks down how confidence got turned into a weird public performance where being loud, unfiltered, and constantly visible is treated like proof of self-worth. Elle talks about:
- Why confidence isn't the same as boldness, oversharing, or visibility
- The difference between performance confidence and real, internal confidence
- Why silence can be powerful (and not a sign of weakness)
- How to actually choose your battles instead of reacting to everything
- The truth about filters, aesthetics, and why presentation doesn't equal insecurity
- Why confidence is built through action - not waiting until you "feel ready"
This isn't about being the loudest person in the room or proving anything to anyone. It's about self-trust. Boundaries. And showing up on your own terms without needing permission.

If you've been dealing with fatigue, weight gain, brain fog - and you're convinced that your thyroid is the problem…you might be starting in the wrong place. In this episode, I break down why the thyroid is sometimes not the first domino to fall, and why jumping straight to thyroid medication can sometimes backfire.
We're talking about the real upstream drivers:
- high HbA1c and insulin resistance
- mismanaged HRT (especially in perimenopause/menopause)
- low iron and poor thyroid conversion
Because if those are off, your thyroid is trying to function in chaos, and no amount of "perfect dosing" will fix that. If you've been chasing thyroid answers and not getting results, this episode will connect the dots and give you a smarter order of operations.

Elle Russ sits down with her private client, Michelle, to unpack her transformation from hypothyroidism hell to vibrant, fully restored health in just four months inside the Thyroid Rx program. At 31 and raising two young boys, Michelle had gone over two years without a menstrual cycle. While her OB-GYN pushed for hormone-induced intervention, Elle addressed the root cause—her thyroid. The result? Her cycle returned naturally the moment her thyroid was optimized, and all of her other hypothyroid symptoms disappeared. No band-aids. Just real solutions.

We've been culturally trained to believe sharing a bed equals closeness - but what if sleeping separately actually improves connection, intimacy, and overall happiness?
In this episode, I share why I've had a sleep divorce from the very beginning of my relationship, how it's strengthened our marriage (not harmed it), and why protecting sleep might be one of the most loving decisions a couple can make. We'll talk about the myths, the benefits, the social stigma, and why a well-rested partner is simply a better partner.
If you've ever wondered whether separate sleep means something is wrong… or secretly thought it might be amazing… this episode is for you.

In this episode, we unpack The Alex Honnold Conundrum - why someone can be objectively extraordinary and still deeply unsettling on a human level.
This isn't a takedown, a diagnosis, or internet armchair psychology. It's a nuanced look at greatness, emotional minimalism, confidence, and the difference between admiration and compatibility.
Using Alex Honnold as a case study, we explore what people found uncomfortable about his relationship, why that discomfort matters, and the bigger question it forces all of us to ask: what do you actually need from another human — and what cost are you willing to pay to get it?

This episode is a thyroid deep dive — a jam-packed conversation with Dr. Gary E. Foresman, MD of MiddlePathMedicine.com. We tackle the biggest myths, mistakes, and misunderstandings in thyroid treatment today.
Here’s what we cover:
- The FDA Ban on Natural Desiccated Thyroid (NDT): What it really means for patients.
- Medication Before Labs: Why you should never take T4/T3 or T3-only meds before a thyroid test.
- Dosing Myths Debunked: Why no practitioner should put an arbitrary limit on T4 or T3 dosing.
- Beyond T4 & T3: Do T1, T2, and calcitonin in NDT actually matter? Are T2 supplements worthwhile?
- Failed Research: How flawed medical studies have left thyroid patients in the dust.
- The TSH Suppression Myth: Why suppressed TSH on T4/T3 combos or T3-only therapy is NOT dangerous, doesn’t cause arrhythmias or osteoporosis, and why outdated T4-only protocols from 30 years ago created decades of false fear.
- Reverse T3: Why this is a critical — and often ignored — test.
- Blood Sugar & Thyroid Hormones: How food satiety and glucose fluctuations can masquerade as thyroid issues (like tachycardia), and why it’s not always your thyroid to blame.
If you’ve ever been confused, dismissed, or gaslit about your thyroid health, this episode will give you the clarity (and firepower) you need!

Is kindness always a strength—or can it secretly hold you back?
In this deep dive, Elle Russ explore the neuroscience and psychology behind kindness, from its evolutionary roots to its modern-day pitfalls.
Discover when kindness becomes a hidden weakness (people-pleasing, fawning, manipulative generosity) and when it’s a genuine superpower (helper’s high, reciprocal altruism).
Learn how to audit your kindness—are you giving from a place of authenticity or obligation?—and how to set boundaries so your generosity fuels you, not drains you.
Whether you’re an overworked caregiver, a chronic "yes" person, or just someone who wants to give without resentment, this episode will help you reclaim the power of true kindness.

In this episode, Elle Russ chats with Philip Blackledge - he was ordained a priest in the Scottish Episcopal church in 1999. As he was ordained, the heavens opened, there was a mighty thundering and a heavenly voice spoke out of the cloud saying “Bloody hell, we’re really scraping the bottom of the barrel these days.” Before ordination he was a classical music singer, appearing on a number of recordings and broadcasts, and is currently the Chair of the Borders Music Festival, which aims to bring music to younger people and celebrate amateur music making. He is the leader of the Melrose Vocal Ensemble, and still appears as soloist when the money is right.
As a priest he broadcasts regularly on BBC Radio 4 and takes part in discussion programes and “thought for the day” on BBC Scotland. He is a board member of the Scottish Advisory Council for Religion and Ethics. He has a wife, a son, and a dog, all of which have more control over his life than he does.

In this episode, Elle Russ deconstructs cultural jealousy and how you can take lessons from it to enrich your success. In a world that claims to celebrate achievement, why do so many cultures secretly punish those who stand out? This episode pulls back the curtain on Tall Poppy Syndrome - that insidious social reflex that makes people attack anyone who rises too high. We trace this phenomenon from ancient tribal instincts to modern office politics, revealing how the fear of standing out shapes everything from career choices to national economies.
We expose the hidden costs of this mentality, from stifled innovation to brain drain, and spotlight the rare communities that have broken free from this self-sabotaging pattern. By the end, you'll never look at success - or your own reactions to others' achievements - the same way again. This is more than a cultural analysis; it's a wake-up call for anyone who's ever dimmed their light to make others comfortable.

In this episode, Elle Russ chats with Dr. Gary E. Foresman MD to unpack the science, hype, and controversy surrounding GLP-1-based weight loss medications like Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro, and peptides. Dr. Foresman explores how these drugs actually work—from appetite suppression to metabolic effects—and who’s a good candidate (and who should avoid them). The conversation tackles the real benefits and the real risks beyond the headlines - breaks down the differences between peptides and FDA-approved medications, and examines the big question: Is the weight loss sustainable long-term? We also dive into practical concerns like cost, accessibility, and alternatives for those seeking options outside this class of drugs.
Whether you’re considering these medications, curious about the science, or just tired of the hype, this conversation cuts through the noise with an honest, no-industry-spin look at one of the biggest health trends of our time.

Elle Russ chats with Sarah Plowman - who after spending her 20s bartending in Philadelphia, got married, had two boys and fully embraced stay at home mom life - sourdough starter and all.
Six years later she found herself going through a divorce and back in the restaurant business when COVID shut the world down.
Sarah had recently hired a life coach to figure out her post-divorce life, and the impact this had on her was profound. For the first time she felt that her inner confidence matched how she appeared to the world.
Although starting a coaching business with no niche, no certification and no experience sounded crazy, Sarah knew she had to get the tools of life coaching in the hands of as many women as possible. So she started talking to people and offering to help them. She started an Instagram account. She brought hand written signs to the playground offering to coach strangers for free while the kids played.
People noticed. After nearly a year of general life coaching, other online coaches began asking Sarah for help magnetizing premium clients by creating authentic, organic content on Instagram.
In 2024 Sarah founded the Magnetic Membership to bring her movement to a wider audience.
Inside she teaches her simple yet effective formula to get rich while doing life-changing, heart-centered work.
Her goal is to help women turn their delusions into reality (because how fun is that) - and watch the cash roll in as a strategic byproduct.
From divorced, single mom to CEO of a coaching brand set to cross $1m in 2025, Sarah is an example of what's possible.
When she’s not coaching Sarah is getting sushi with her kids, at ballet class, prepping for her first Latin dance competition, or parading the streets of Philadelphia in a fabulous hat.

In this episode, Elle Russ dives into a fascinating concept rooted in one of the most sophisticated intelligence agencies in the world: Mossad. The 10th Man Principle was developed to combat the dangerous effects of groupthink—where harmony overrides critical evaluation. This principle mandates that if nine people in a group agree on a decision, the 10th person must dissent, ensuring every angle is rigorously tested.
We explore the origins of this strategy in intelligence work and its relevance to personal and professional life. From preventing blind spots to fostering innovation and resilience, this mindset can help you make better decisions, whether in career moves, relationships, parenting, or even life-or-death scenarios.
Join me as I share practical ways to apply this principle, real-life examples—including a life-saving decision during the 2018 Woolsey Fire—and how cultivating dissent can lead to wisdom, growth, and success.
Tune in to learn how you can harness the power of the 10th Man Principle in your life.

Hypothyroid patients classically have low ferritin and other low iron levels - just another negative side effect of undiagnosed, untreated, or mistreated hypothyroidism. Iron provides life-affirming oxygen to organ systems through its role in red cell production.
Iron is an essential protein component for metabolism (low iron levels often go hand in hand with low B12 results). Without adequate iron, muscles lose their tone and elasticity. Low iron can compromise brain function: oxygen supply in the blood is assisted by iron, and the brain uses approximately 20% of the blood oxygen. Proper flow of blood in the brain stimulates cognitive activity.

Elle Russ chats with Marian Clark - a Somatic Nervous System Coach on a mission to help women to free themselves of emotional overwhelm and create a life from a place of confidence and calm.
After struggling for two decades with her own health crisis she experienced the life-changing work of trauma-informed somatic therapy and coaching. This approach helped her to see how trauma-induced inner beliefs and subconscious behaviors, such as people pleasing, perfectionism, and overgiving, were the result of a dysregulated nervous system that in her case led to career burnout, chronic fatigue, autoimmune, and toxic relationships.
She now helps women to do this deeper work; to regulate their emotions and to heal their health.

Elle Russ chats with Kalee Boisvert - she has been in the financial industry for over 15 years, driven by her passion for money since a young age. Growing up in a single-parent household, she witnessed her mother's financial struggles and felt a strong desire to make a difference. Determined not to let her circumstances define her, Kalee embarked on her own journey to financial literacy.
Today, as a single mom and financially independent woman, Kalee is dedicated to supporting women in their financial lives.

These events cover various wealth topics and attract over 1000 women annually.

Elle Russ chats with Mandy Lemond - a former foster child turned Emmy Award-winning TV Producer. At just 7 years old, Lemond's father raped her and left her for dead...and that same night, he murdered Mandy's mother.
Lemond's father's crime left the Kentucky native a true orphan. Mandy aged out of foster care after spending more than 11 years in a group home. She recalls, “I went to college with $5 to my name." With the same tenacity Lemond used to overcome her childhood trauma, she graduated from Eastern Kentucky University and was immediately hired by the local NBC affiliate as a TV Reporter. Lemond continued to beat the odds – statistically, only 3% of foster youth have a college degree.
Mandy's life finally seemed perfect, until December 2020, when Lemond's foster-adopted son was high on drugs and shot into the wrong home. The unintended target was a 5-year-old who nearly died and was blinded by the gunfire. Lemond’s nearly 20-year marriage crumbled and she found herself divorced with a son in jail and facing homelessness.
But, with the same determination she garnered as a child, Mandy found a new purpose. She developed the 5-method, which is featured in her memoir, The Fostered One. Lemond now serves globally, speaking to divorcees, parents, and children of those incarcerated, as well as those coping with Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder.

Elle Russ chats with Catharine Arnston - the Founder/CEO/Chief Scientific Officer of ENERGYbits® and expert in algae for wellness, nutrition, beauty, biohacking, mitochondria and longevity. She is a nationally recognized thought-leader, seasoned corporate executive, experienced entrepreneur and sought-after speaker. Catharine has an MBA, BA and is a Board-Certified Health Coach.
Catharine's journey into the fascinating world of algae began in 2008 when her younger sister was diagnosed with breast cancer and advised by her oncologist that an alkaline diet would improve her healing. Catharine left her 25-year corporate career to help her sister identify which foods were alkaline which led her to discovering algae - the most alkaline, chlorophyll-rich, high-protein, nutrient-dense food in the world. When Catharine learned that algae's vast healing properties were documented in tens of thousands of scientific studies but that none of these studies or algae’s benefits were known outside of Asia, she knew she needed to do something. And so ENERGYbits® was born,
Catharine has spent the last twelve years researching algae, writing papers, giving presentations, lecturing at conferences, and speaking on 250+ podcasts to explain the benefits of algae. To do this, she has read thousands of scientific papers that validated, and confirmed algae's extensive nutritional, health, mitochondria, longevity, beauty, brain, performance and sustainability benefits. Remarkably none of this science is known by consumers outside Asia. It is Catharine's vision and passion to change this and while she is not a Ph.D., her scientific fluency allows her to explain algae with such simplicity and clarity, it quickly becomes obvious why algae is something we all urgently need. Catharine's passion for algae is contagious, inspiring and thought-provoking.
Her efforts have led to algae being better understood by consumers, retailers, educators, doctors, and wellness practitioners. Even the United Nations and NASA endorse algae as the most nutrient-dense food in the world and the answer to world hunger. Catharine's extensive knowledge and playful personality is both entertaining and educating and her speaking style leaves audiences informed, uplifted, and hopeful. She looks forward to doing the same for you.

Elle Russ chats with Laban Ditchburn - The World’s Best Courage Coach! A child badly affected by divorce and its dysfunction, Laban sought validation and escapism in all the wrong places. But through self-discovery, not being afraid to ask for help and a ton of hard work, he conquered the full gamut of addictions—alcohol, gambling, sex, drugs, and negative self-talk.
Today, he defines the word transformation, having reshaped his body by swapping sixty pounds of body fat with thirty pounds of powerful muscle and bone. He also discovered a simple cure for his “incurable” auto-immune disease in the process. By learning why and then reverse-engineering the root cause of why he needed to escape, giving up his addictions has been almost effortless. Celebrating more than 6 years of sobriety from alcohol (longer for all the other stuff) all without any 12-step program or rehab facilities.
Until May 11th, 2018, 5KM was the furthest distance that Laban had ever run. But after a huge emotional breakthrough, Laban rapidly progressed to completing his first 100KM ultra-marathon trail run just 16 weeks later.
Laban has since completed 3 x 100KM efforts, 7 x 50KM, and countless marathons. A self-confessed bio-hacker, Laban also ran a 50km in 2021 on zero sugar.
Now physically, mentally, spiritually, and emotionally in charge of his own destiny, Laban’s journey continues to inspire those ready to change their life.
An exemplar and a revolutionary, he revels in unabashedly sharing what he’s learned: how to conquer the demons you don’t know you have, and how to be unstoppable in getting to where you want to be.
Laban’s internationally acclaimed book “Bet on You” is a “can’t put down” must-read with its raw, real, hilarious, and inspiring message of hope.
Known affectionately as The World’s Best Courage Coach, Laban shares his life with his smoking hot wife, the bravest person he knows, and the future mother of their children, Anna!

This is Alison's 3rd visit to the show! Elle Russ chats with Alison Armstrong about the new audiobook release of her previously published The Queen's Code. Alison is an author, educator, and speaker. Alison Armstrong’s exploration of human behavior began in 1991, with her decision to study men: “To find out how I was bringing out the worst in them. And hopefully, how to bring out the best.“ Her success in understanding men naturally lead to studying women’s behavior and making vital connections between the two.
As her work evolved over the decades Alison now illuminates human characteristics that precede and express themselves regardless of gender, age and upbringing. She distinguishes normal human instinct that compels both men and women to behave in ways that contradict and undermine our own purposes, goals, values, needs, and relationships. Besides fulfilling the need to understand “Why“ people behave as they do, Alison offers practical, partnership-based alternatives.
Through her seminars, books, online programs, and media contributions, she has been giving millions of people access to more fulfilling lives, loving relationships, stronger families, and productive organizations. Alison is a sought-after speaker and thought leader amongst people with the desire to live empowered lives.

Elle Russ chats with Martin Silva – he is beyond passionate when it comes to health, fitness, and helping people optimize their bodies and his purpose is to empower people and help them achieve the best version of themselves.

At the age of 13, he was introduced to the world of weightlifting and discovered the art of building an admirable physique. Since then, he has coached hundreds of people, traveled around the world competing, and eventually achieved professional level status and ranking within the top 10 natural fitness model competitors in the world.
Martin now prioritizes health rather than being driven purely by aesthetics. His philosophy on health is centered around the guiding principle that if you focus on optimizing your health from the inside out, your healthy, lean physique will then become a bi-product of taking care of yourself.

Elle Russ chats with Celeste Headlee - an award-winning journalist, professional speaker and author of We Need To Talk: How To Have Conversations That Matter,and Do Nothing: How to Break Away from Overworking, Overdoing, and Underliving. Her new book, Speaking of Race will be released in November. Celeste is an expert in conversation, human nature, reclaiming common humanity and finding well-being, Celeste frequently provides insight on what is good for all humans and what is bad for us, focusing the best research in neuro and social science to increase understanding of how we relate with one another and can work together in beneficial ways in our workplaces, neighborhoods, communities and homes. She is a regular guest host on NPR and American Public Media and a highly sought consultant, advising companies around the world on conversations about race, diversity, and inclusion. Her TEDx Talk sharing 10 ways to have a better conversation has over 23 million total views, and she serves as an advisory board member for ProCon.org and The Listen First Project. Celeste is the recipient of the 2019 Media Changemaker Award. She is the proud granddaughter of composer William Grant Still, the Dean of African American Composers.
In her new book Speaking of Race (an urgently needed guide), Celeste teaches us how to have productive conversations about race, offering insights, advice, and support. A self-described “light-skinned Black Jew,” Celeste Headlee has been forced to speak about race - including having to defend or define her own - since childhood. In her career as a journalist for public media, she’s made it a priority to talk about race proactively. She’s discovered, however, that those exchanges have rarely been productive. While many people say they want to talk about race, the reality is, they want to talk about race with people who agree with them. The subject makes us uncomfortable; it’s often not considered polite or appropriate. To avoid these painful discussions, we stay in our bubbles, reinforcing our own sense of righteousness as well as our division.
In Speaking of Race, Headlee draws from her experiences as a journalist, and the latest research on bias, communication, and neuroscience to provide practical advice and insight for talking about race that will facilitate better conversations that can actually bring us closer together. This is the book for people who have tried to debate and educate and argue and got nowhere; it is the book for those who have stopped talking to a neighbor or dread Thanksgiving dinner. It is an essential and timely book for all of us.

Elle Russ chats with Heather Heying and Bret Weinstein - evolutionary biologists who have been invited to address the US Congress, the Department of Justice, and the Department of Education, and have spoken before audiences across the globe.
They cohost the Dark Horse Podcast and are authors of a fascinating new book A Hunter-Gatherer’s Guide to the 21st Century: Evolution and the Challenges of Modern Life. Heying and Weinstein argue that the problem is clear: our world has become so hypernovel that the pace of change has outstripped our ability to keep up. Humans are an evolutionary phenomenon, and while we are designed to adapt to change, it took hundreds of millions of years for humans to become who we are today. We may live in a modern world, but our brains, bodies, and social systems are ancient. They are now perpetually out of sync with the modern world, and it’s making us sick—physically, psychologically, socially, and environmentally. If we don’t figure out how to grapple with the problem of accelerating novelty, humanity will perish, a victim of its own success.
In the book, they distill more than 20 years of research and first-hand accounts from the most biodiverse ecosystems on Earth to offer a robust scientific framework for understanding ourselves– both as individuals and in relationships with others – and why the novelty of the modern era is killing us.
