The Truth About Botox: What to Know (and Natural Options)

Primally Pure 2025-10-08 | Conventional skincare culture tells us to fight aging, fear the sun, and turn to quick fixes like Botox to stay youthful. But are injections the only way? In this episode, holistic esthetician Elizabeth Carter, founder of Honest Rituals, joins Grounded Wellness co-host and holistic esthetician Courtney Goetz to explore the truth about Botox, its risks, and natural alternatives that actually work.

They discuss how intuitive skincare can be a sacred ritual, why facial massage and buccal massage support both emotional release and youthful skin, and how cosmetic acupuncture and natural rituals can offer powerful results without injections. They also share the lessons they had to unlearn after esthetics school.

Together, Elizabeth and Courtney go beyond facials—unpacking motherhood, miscarriage, emotional wellness, Botox alternatives, tallow skincare, and the underestimated emotional power of holistic beauty practices—all while challenging the myths that keep women from experiencing true beauty and wholeness.

Breast Cancer Surgeon Explains: Why Mammograms Fail (Do This Instead)

Primally Pure 2025-09-24 | For decades, women have been told the same story: mammograms save lives. They’re painted as the gold standard for breast cancer prevention — a rite of passage once you hit your forties. But what if that story isn’t the full picture? What if the very test meant to protect us is also leading to unnecessary fear, invasive treatments, and even harm?

In this powerful episode of Grounded Wellness, host Bethany McDaniel sits down with Dr. Jenn Simmons, a former top breast cancer surgeon turned functional medicine practitioner, who is leading a revolution in women’s health. Dr. Simmons knows the system from the inside. After years in the operating room, she saw firsthand the toll of overdiagnosis and overtreatment. Women were enduring surgeries, chemotherapy, and lifelong medication regimens for cancers that never would have impacted their lives. The stakes are enormous: more than 20–30% of breast cancer diagnoses each year fall into this category of unnecessary treatment.

Bethany and Dr. Simmons pull back the curtain on the mammogram myth vs reality, unpacking the real truth about mammograms — and pointing to safer, smarter alternatives. This episode doesn’t shy away from the hard truths, but it also delivers hope, clarity, and a path forward for women who want to take ownership of their health.

Does Sugar Feed Cancer? The Truth Every Parent Should Know

Primally Pure 2025-09-10 | For too long, parents have been told that when a child is diagnosed with cancer, the only thing that matters is surviving chemotherapy. Nutrition? Not important. Side effects? Just part of the process.
But what if that isn’t the full story?

In honor of Childhood Cancer Awareness Month, Bethany sat down with her good friend, Season Johnson, Functional Nutritional Therapy Practitioner and founder of KICKcancER, to explore the intersection of conventional cancer treatment and holistic healing. This conversation covers everything from the emotional toll of a pediatric diagnosis to practical tools that empower families to create an environment where cancer cannot thrive. When we address holistic care through nutrition, detox, emotional healing, and faith—everything shifts.

Bonus: Luteal Phase Meditation - Lean In With Intention

Primally Pure 2025-09-03 | In today’s episode of Grounded Wellness, our Holistic Esthetician, Courtney, is guiding you through a mindful meditation designed to help you ease into your luteal phase with intention.

This phase of your monthly cycle, which occurs between ovulation and menstruation, is your inner autumn and often gets misunderstood. For many, it’s a time of heightened emotions and a pull inward – it’s common to feel more sensitive, introspective or even irritable during this time.
But what if we could learn to reframe our experience of the luteal phase and start to see it in a more empowering light?

Today’s episode is designed to offer extra support in this extra sensitive phase – with gentle affirmations to support emotional well-being and inner reflection, holistic skincare tips to restore balance and practical guidance to sync your lifestyle with your cycle’s natural rhythms.

Whether you’re navigating emotional shifts, hormonal breakouts, or simply craving a slower pace – this meditation is here for you. Return to this meditation any time you need a gentle nudge to love the luteal phase and give yourself permission to pause.

The Birth Control Lie, Natural PMS Relief + Cycle Syncing with Hormone Expert Emily Detrick

Primally Pure 2025-08-27 | In this episode of Grounded Wellness, Bethany sits down with Emily Detrick, an integrative nutrition health coach who has helped tens of thousands of women balance their hormones naturally. After years of struggling with the side effects of hormonal birth control, painful periods, and hormone imbalances, Emily has made it her mission to help women reclaim their cycles and feel at home in their bodies again.

But this isn’t just a takedown of the pill and the medical system. It’s a hopeful conversation filled with practical tips and empowering science that every woman deserves to know.

If you’ve ever felt trapped by your period, out of sync with your body, or dismissed by a doctor, this conversation will leave you with practical tips to feel better and live in rhythm with your cycle.

Understanding Skin Cancer: Types, Causes + the Risks of Avoiding Sun Exposure

Primally Pure 2025-08-25 | Skin cancer is the #1 most common cancer in the United States, with 1 in 4 Americans expected to develop it in their lifetime. For decades, we’ve been told to wear sunscreen daily to protect against skin cancer—yet the rates keep rising. Why is that?

In this video, Dr. Teo Soleymani, double-board certified dermatologist and skin cancer surgeon breaks down:

- The different types of skin cancer (melanoma, squamous cell carcinoma, basal cell carcinoma) and which are actually sun-related.
- Why the deadliest forms of melanoma are not always caused by UV exposure.
- Practical, common-sense sun protection strategies without fear-mongering.
- The surprising link between sun avoidance and pack a day smokers.

Learn how sun exposure, genetics, and immune function all interact when it comes to skin cancer risk and why balanced sun habits may be more protective than avoiding the sun altogether.

Bird Flu, Bleach Baths +Fake Labels: The Dark Reality of Big Meat with Farmer Rob of Primal Pastures

Primally Pure 2025-07-30 | Not all meat is created equal and most of what we’re sold at the grocery store is a lie.

In this episode of Grounded Wellness, Bethany sits down with her brother-in-law, Farmer Rob — founder of Primal Pastures and a practicing physician assistant. Rob brings a rare dual perspective: both from inside the medical system and from the frontlines of regenerative farming.

Together, they unravel the deep corruption of America’s meat industry: misleading labels, diseased animals, toxic feed, bleach baths, and the devastating impact these practices have on our health. But this episode isn’t just a takedown — it’s also a hopeful blueprint for what ethical, nourishing, and truly clean meat can (and should) look like.

From their humble beginnings raising 50 backyard chickens, Rob and his family have built a thriving regenerative farm rooted in transparency, integrity, and ancestral wisdom. This conversation is as shocking as it is empowering and it may just change the way you shop for meat forever.

The ‘Health’ Lies We’ve Been Sold with Paul Saladino, MD

Primally Pure 2025-07-09 | This conversation with Dr. Paul Saladino is a call to investigate the why behind our habits, our headlines, and our health beliefs. In a world full of fear-based marketing—from sunscreens to snack bars—his perspective invites a more grounded perspective rooted in science.

Paul doesn’t just challenge the status quo, he brings data, ancestral wisdom, and personal experience to illuminate what’s actually making us sick.

Tune in to the full episode to learn more about:
- The real cause of skin cancer (and why sunlight isn’t the villain)
- How seed oils impact your skin
- Why sunglasses may increase your risk of sun damage
- Why Paul started eating fruit after 1.5 years on a carnivore diet
- The problem with vegetables
- Why indoor lighting may be ruining your nervous system
- The benefits of creatine
- Why your “healthy” snack bar is wrecking your hormones and gut health

If you’ve ever wondered why doing “all the right things” still leaves you tired, inflamed, or confused—this conversation might hold the answers.

How to Decode Your Acne + Heal the Root Cause with Maria Marlowe

Primally Pure 2025-06-04 | If you’ve ever felt like you’re doing everything “right” and still struggling with acne… This episode is for you.

In honor of Acne Awareness Month, we brought on a guest who’s not only deeply informed, she’s also been through it herself. Holistic nutritionist and skin health expert Maria Marlowe joins Bethany for a powerful conversation on how to heal your skin from within and why it’s time to rethink everything we’ve been told about acne.

After trying every conventional acne treatment out there, from antibiotics to birth control, Maria stumbled across something that changed everything: the healing power of food. Within five months of changing her diet and repairing her gut, her skin completely cleared. Since then, she’s spent over a decade helping others do the same through her Clear Skin Plan and research-backed nutritional guidance.

This episode covers so much — from hormone-related breakouts and inflammation to gray hairs, Botox, motherhood, and how the grocery store might secretly be working against your skin.

Your relationship with the sun is about to change. Tune in to the full episode on Grounded Wellness now.

Is The Sun Really The Enemy? What a Skin Cancer Surgeon Wants You to Know

Primally Pure 2025-05-21 | In this eye-opening conversation, Dr. Teo Soleymani, Stanford-trained, double board-certified dermatologist and skin cancer surgeon, joins us on our regenerative farm (under the sun) to unpack some of the most common misconceptions about sun exposure, skin cancer, and the products we’ve been told to trust.

Dr. Teo shines light (literally) on why the most deadly skin cancers don’t come from sun exposure at all. He breaks down the risks of chemical sunscreen ingredients, the truth about their absorption in the body, and how holistic sun protection starts from within.

Somatic Skincare Retreat | Day 1 (AM): Somatic Morning Skincare Routine

Primally Pure 2025-04-10 | Somatic Morning Skincare Routine
Start your day with a mineral-rich drink, diaphragmatic breaths and simple somatic skincare rituals to awaken your mind and body.

Mineral-rich morning drink: Sprinkle of sea salt, squeeze of lemon + pinch of chia seeds. Visualize the water nourishing every cell in your body.

Diaphragmatic breathing: Feel your belly expand on each inhale and contract with each exhale, delivering hydration deep into your fascia.

Splash skin with water: Wake up your skin and your mind. Feel the cool temperature cleansing, refreshing and invigorating your largest organ. Pat dry and pay attention to the shift in your skin and body.

Facial dry brush: Move lymphatic fluid and improve blood flow to feed skin from within. Feel the soft bristles gently buff away buildup and stagnation in your skin and mindset.

Facial mist: Feel plant hydrosols drench your skin with hydration and infuse your mind with a botanical aromatherapy moment. Breathe in the natural aroma, notice how it makes you feel and shifts your mood: awakened, grounded, more centered.

Tune into the state of your skin: Choose the serum, cream or balm your skin is craving. Mindfully massage onto your face, neck and decollete and give gratitude to your largest organ for its resiliency and beauty.

Facial roller: Finish with this final moment to promote your mind-body connection. Tune into tension, inflammation or the lines of life that have developed, giving skin TLC before moving into the rest of your day.

Somatic Skincare Retreat | Day 1 (PM): Serum Stacking

Primally Pure 2025-04-10 | Take a deep belly breath, dropping in your body and in the present moment. Light palo santo or a beeswax candle to encourage a deeper exhale.

Tune in to notice how your skin is feeling: it’s tone, texture and temperature (uneven/bright/rough/balanced/inflamed/cool).

Allow your skin to guide you in choosing specific products to support your current skin state and desired results. Shift from operating on autopilot when it comes to skincare and start to listen to what your skin is saying.

Support skin’s ever-evolving needs with serum stacking: letting your skin lead and layering superfood serums to nourish diverse skin needs:
- Repair hyperpigmentation + signs of aging: Clarifying + Plumping
- Relieve hormonal breakouts + redness: Regenerative Hemp + Soothing
- Decrease wrinkles + sensitivities: Plumping + Soothing
- Reduce adult acne + acne scarring: Regenerative Hemp + Clarifying
- Balance oil production + skin barrier: Clarifying + Soothing
- Boost hydration + skin healing: Plumping + Regenerative Hemp

Somatic Skincare Retreat | Day 2 (AM): Cycle Syncing Skincare

Primally Pure 2025-04-10 | Natural rhythms: Tune into your body and its innate rhythms to restore the mind/body connection and improve skin health, holistically. Shift from autopilot and return to intention with the products you use, allowing your body’s innate phases to guide your daily routines.

Cycle sync: Harmonize your skincare rituals, hormones and skin health:
- Menstrual: Soothing Serum + Gua Sha (rebuild moisture, reduce redness + release tension)
- Follicular: Regenerative Hemp Serum + Facial Dry Brush (promote clarity, elasticity and gentle cell turnover)
- Ovulatory: Plumping Serum + Facial Cupping (enhance glow, cellular renewal + brighten)
- Luteal: Clarifying Serum + Ridged Facial Roller (reduce breakouts, prevent scarring + lymphatic drainage)

Embodied beauty: Lean in to the innate design of being a woman and embrace embodied beauty during every phase of your cycle.

Somatic Skincare Retreat | Day 3 (AM): Morning Movement

Primally Pure 2025-04-10 | Somatic impact: Beginning your morning with embodied beauty sets up your day for more presence, productivity and purpose. Take time for intuitive touch to restore your mind/body connection and create a ripple effect of wellness throughout your day.

Inhale, exhale: Breathe in the scent of your skincare products and feel your skin absorbing the care. Focus on the feeling of each breath. Each inhale brings fresh energy, each exhale releases tension.

Cycle synced serum: As you feel your way through your morning skincare routine and massage your cycle synced serum into your skin, imagine waking up your body, bringing energy into every cell.

Mindful massage: Move into facial massage with your favorite facial tool, feeling the tool between your fingertips and its intentional touch restoring the connection between your body and mind.

Neck + detoxify: Begin on the neck, gently moving stagnant lymphatic fluid down the sides of the neck to detoxify. Noticing any shifts in your mindset or skin state.

Face + fluid movement: Moving up the face, lightly glide from the center and work outwards. Focus on lymphatic pathways under the jaw, cheekbone and around the eyes to encourage fluid movement.

Tune in to tension: Focus on areas of tension, the jaw or forehead, and move slowly, supporting the flow of vital nutrients. Take your time and be mindful of the energy waking up within your skin.

End your day with a moment of gratitude. Appreciate your skin and body, acknowledging the innate self-healing and regenerative capabilities when the mind-body connection is restored.

Cocoon skin with a warm, wet washcloth, gently removing the day’s buildup. Soften every muscle in your face and body as the warmth washes over your.

Now notice any shifts you may feel in your skin and self: balanced, relaxed, lighter. Carrying these fresh sensations with you as you fall asleep.
