What if the most advanced thing you could do for your health was also the simplest? Dr. Howard Cohn has spent 36 years running one of the most sought-after wellness clinics in the country, with a waiting list for 30 of those years, built entirely on word of mouth. In this conversation, he sits down with Heidi and Dr. Watts to talk about why most people skip the foundational habits that actually move the needle, why he believes we don’t need more medicine but more health, and what happens when you stop chasing the latest biohack and start doing the basics with intention. We get into his origin story (it started with a career day and a Dunkin’ Donuts detour), the philosophy behind his Cohn Health Institute, what “bio stacking” really means versus biohacking, and a deep dive into molecular hydrogen, the supplement Dr. Watts has been raving about for its recovery and anti-inflammatory benefits. Dr. Cohn also breaks down the four things that bring women into his office most often (pain, fatigue, weight gain, and sleep), why mineral deficiency is more common than most people realize, and his straight-talk take on the supplement industry and what to actually look for. If you’ve been feeling like you’re doing all the things and still not feeling great, this one’s for you.Cohn Nutritionhttps://cohnnutrition.com Cohn Health Institute https://cohnhealthinstitute.com/The Shift Programhttps://startwithshift.comOn the show, Dr. Vohn Watts, a chiropractor and founder of Foundational Wellness, shares his insights on how the body functions as a whole system, along with the principles he uses to help people get on the path to better health.Please remember, the information shared on this podcast is for educational and informational purposes only.

Is it really your thyroid… or is that just the label you were given?In this episode of The Shift, Heidi and Dr. Ron Watts unpack one of the most misunderstood diagnoses in women’s health: thyroid dysfunction. From fatigue and brain fog to weight gain and thinning hair, millions of women are told, “It’s your thyroid,” handed medication, and sent on their way.But what if that’s not the whole story?Dr. Watts breaks down how the thyroid actually works, why standard panels often miss the root cause, and how issues in the liver, gut, nutrient status, and toxicity can disrupt the entire pathway. They also dive into autoimmunity (Hashimoto’s), overmedication, iron binding issues, hormone interference, and why so many women still feel awful—even when their labs are “normal.”This episode goes deeper than labs. Heidi shares personal reflections about her mom’s health journey, dementia, and the painful reality of not knowing there were other options. It’s a powerful reminder that feeling “less than great” is not something you’re doomed to accept.If you’re tired, puffy, foggy, frustrated, and wondering if this is just aging… this conversation is for you.On the show, Dr. Vohn Watts, a chiropractor and founder of Foundational Wellness, shares his insights on how the body functions as a whole system, along with the principles he uses to help people get on the path to better health.Please remember, the information shared on this podcast is for educational and informational purposes only.

In this episode of The Shift Podcast, Heidi and Dr. Vohn Watts sit down with John Busch, for an honest, often funny, and deeply important conversation about relationships during perimenopause and menopause. They unpack what many couples struggle with but rarely talk about: how hormonal changes impact emotional regulation, intimacy, identity, and communication — and why so many men unintentionally make this season harder by trying to “fix” instead of support. This episode explores what safety actually means to women, why appreciation and presence matter more than solutions, how men can show up without ego, and how couples can navigate changing roles, expectations, and bodies without resentment. It’s a powerful reminder that this stage of life isn’t the beginning of the end — it’s an opportunity to build a deeper, more connected relationship if both partners are willing to grow. If you’re a woman who feels unseen, or a man who genuinely wants to do better but doesn’t know how, this conversation offers clarity, compassion, and practical insight.On the show, Dr. Vohn Watts, a chiropractor and founder of Foundational Wellness, shares his insights on how the body functions as a whole system, along with the principles he uses to help people get on the path to better health.Please remember, the information shared on this podcast is for educational and informational purposes only.

In this episode of The Shift Podcast, Heidi and Dr. Vohn Watts are joined by Lauren Busch for a deep, eye-opening conversation about the female cycle — and why every woman is cycling, no matter her age, birth control history, or stage of life. They break down the myth that hormones only matter for fertility and explain how the 28-day cycle impacts energy, creativity, mood, workouts, sleep, detoxification, liver health, and even relationships. From cycle syncing and hormone phases to acne, PMS, menopause, and the role of minerals and liver support, this episode reframes symptoms as communication — not dysfunction. You’ll learn why tracking your cycle changes everything, how to eat and move differently throughout the month, and why so many women struggle simply because they were never taught how their bodies actually work. If you’ve ever felt frustrated, confused, or “off” without knowing why, this conversation offers clarity, permission, and a far more compassionate way forward.On the show, Dr. Vohn Watts, a chiropractor and founder of Foundational Wellness, shares his insights on how the body functions as a whole system, along with the principles he uses to help people get on the path to better health.Please remember, the information shared on this podcast is for educational and informational purposes only.

In this episode of The Shift Podcast, Heidi and Dr. Vohn Watts unpack the wellness tools and gadgets that are everywhere right now — and separate what’s actually helpful from what’s just hype. From vibration plates and lymphatic brushing to red light therapy, circadian lighting, and ozone cleaning, they explain how these tools support the body when used correctly — and why none of them replace the fundamentals. This conversation breaks down how lymphatic flow works, why light exposure matters for sleep and hormones, and how small environmental shifts can reduce load and support healing over time. Most importantly, this episode reinforces a core Shift philosophy: gadgets can support your health, but they don’t replace movement, hydration, nutrition, and consistency. If you’re curious about which tools are worth exploring — and how to use them without getting distracted from the basics — this episode offers clarity, context, and a grounded perspective.On the show, Dr. Vohn Watts, a chiropractor and founder of Foundational Wellness, shares his insights on how the body functions as a whole system, along with the principles he uses to help people get on the path to better health.Please remember, the information shared on this podcast is for educational and informational purposes only.

In this episode of The Shift Podcast, Heidi and Dr. Vohn Watts pull back the curtain on why The Shift exists, how it was built, and why sustainable health has far more to do with small, repeatable habits than extreme plans or motivation. They share the real story behind launching The Shift, the difference between the 21-Day Jumpstart and the 90-Day Program, and why so many women are afraid to start again after years of trying and “failing.” This conversation reframes habit-building as something you’re already doing — whether intentionally or not — and explains how changing just a few foundational inputs can dramatically improve energy, focus, mood, and confidence. From hydration and sleep to protein intake and emotional regulation, this episode explains why simplicity works, why consistency matters more than perfection, and why you don’t need the “right time” to begin — you just need to begin. If you’ve been waiting for life to slow down before taking care of yourself, this episode will challenge that belief and offer a more realistic, compassionate way forward.GET STARTED HERE:https://startwithshift.com/startquiz-pageOn the show, Dr. Vohn Watts, a chiropractor and founder of Foundational Wellness, shares his insights on how the body functions as a whole system, along with the principles he uses to help people get on the path to better health.Please remember, the information shared on this podcast is for educational and informational purposes only.

In this episode of The Shift Podcast, Heidi and Dr. Vohn Watts are joined by Dr. Stephanie Canestraro, a functional medicine practitioner with extensive experience working with high-performing athletes and complex chronic illness. Dr. Canestraro shares her personal health journey — from unexplained neurological symptoms and misdiagnoses to discovering the deeper role of toxins, infections, frequency, and the lymphatic system in healing. Together, they break down why many people stay stuck even when they’re “doing all the right things,” and why detox without proper drainage can actually make symptoms worse. This conversation explores lymphatic flow, nervous system regulation, environmental exposures, EMFs, and why healing requires reducing load — not forcing fixes. If you’ve tried protocols, supplements, or detoxes without lasting change, this episode offers a clearer, more sustainable framework for understanding what your body actually needs.On the show, Dr. Vohn Watts, a chiropractor and founder of Foundational Wellness, shares his insights on how the body functions as a whole system, along with the principles he uses to help people get on the path to better health.Please remember, the information shared on this podcast is for educational and informational purposes only.

In this episode of The Shift Podcast, Heidi and Dr. Vohn Watts are joined by Dr. Lisa Palmer for a grounded conversation about why so many women feel exhausted, overwhelmed, inflamed, or disconnected from their bodies — and why that doesn’t mean they’re broken. Dr. Palmer shares her perspective on how stress, lifestyle, and modern expectations impact the nervous system, digestion, hormones, and overall well-being. Together, they explore why many health approaches focus on fixing symptoms instead of supporting the body’s foundational needs, and how healing begins when the body feels safe, supported, and consistently cared for. This episode reframes symptoms as signals, not failures, and offers a more compassionate approach to health — one rooted in awareness, simplicity, and meeting your body where it is instead of fighting it.If you’ve ever felt like your body is working against you, or wondered why nothing seems to “stick” no matter how hard you try, this conversation will help you better understand what your body is asking for — and how to respond.On the show, Dr. Vohn Watts, a chiropractor and founder of Foundational Wellness, shares his insights on how the body functions as a whole system, along with the principles he uses to help people get on the path to better health.Please remember, the information shared on this podcast is for educational and informational purposes only.

Deb shares her journey from the music industry into holistic health, entrepreneurship, and ultimately building global platforms designed to help women stand up, speak up, and show up in their lives and businesses. Together, they explore why women’s stories matter, how confidence is built over time, and why connection may be one of the most overlooked forms of medicine. This episode is a reminder that empowerment isn’t loud or flashy — it’s cultivated through resilience, self-trust, community, and the willingness to take up space.

In this episode of The Shift Podcast, Heidi is joined by Dr. Vohn Watts and Coach Chelsea for a grounded, honest conversation about what it actually takes to create lasting change — especially in midlife. They slow things down and unpack why most people fail when they try to overhaul their health, why January resets don’t work, and how sustainable change comes from building habits gradually, not perfectly.

Together, they break down the mindset traps that keep people stuck in pain, why movement matters more than perfection, and how rebuilding trust in your body is often the missing piece.
