In this debut episode of the Life Longevity Zone Podcast, Todd and Tina invite you into their home studio for a deeply personal conversation about healing, habits, and finding the courage to change. From disordered eating to autoimmune challenges, from carrot cakes to cold plunges ~ their story is honest, funny, and full of hope.

They share the early days of their relationship, their divergent but parallel health journeys, and what sparked their passion for root-cause healing. Tina opens up about her struggle with bulimia and her path to becoming a health coach, while Todd reflects on smoking, psoriasis, and breaking up with sugar. Together, they reveal how food became both a battleground and a bond.

This episode is about more than wellness. It’s about waking up. Becoming your own barometer. And realizing that the path to healing isn’t linear ~ but it is possible.

What if your symptoms were simply signals… guiding you back to yourself?
