You’re not alone - and the reason might shock you. In this fascinating episode, I’m joined by Russell Mariani, a leading Health Restoration Specialist with over 40 years of experience in helping people heal “difficult-to-solve” health challenges. Especially related to gut health, cellular regeneration, and chronic inflammation. At just 18, Russell was diagnosed with ulcerative colitis and told he’d likely need surgery to remove his colon before 25. Instead of accepting that fate, he followed a different path - and has been healthy and symptom-free for more than four decades. 🎙️ In this episode, you’ll learn: * Why gut health is the root system of everything — and how to fix it * What Redox Signaling Molecules are (and why they’re not just another supplement) * The reason most people absorb only 5–10% of what they take — and how to change that * How to wake up your body’s “cellular gatekeepers” so nutrients actually get used * The 7 interconnected pillars of health restoration that Russell uses in his practice * What real healing looks like - on a cellular, emotional, and spiritual level If you’ve “tried everything” and still feel off… this conversation will open a whole new door. 💡 “The body wants to heal. Our job is to learn how to best support it and stop interfering.” — Russell Mariani Would you like to reach out to Russell?
