What if the thing holding you back in your business, your energy, and your life isn't your mindset or your strategy, it's your thyroid? In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Amie Hornaman, functional medicine practitioner, thyroid and hormone specialist, and author of the brand new book The Thyroid Fix, to unpack everything you probably weren't told at your last doctor's visit.

Dr. Amie's journey into functional medicine started with her own frustrating health crisis, gaining 40 pounds on a 5'2" frame while training twice a day for a bodybuilding competition and being told by six different doctors that everything was "normal." That experience lit a fire that has now helped thousands of people across all 50 states finally get real answers.

What if the aches, fatigue, and brain fog you've been writing off as "just getting older" are actually signs of chronic inflammation — and completely reversible? In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Shivani Gupta, founder of Fusionary Formulas, Hay House author of The Inflammation Code, and a woman who literally got her PhD in turmeric. She shares her remarkable journey from a sick kid growing up between Houston and India, to studying at the feet of Ayurvedic gurus, to building a nutraceutical company that hundreds of doctors now recommend to their patients.

Whether you're an entrepreneur pushing hard toward a big goal or someone who's just tired of feeling tired, this conversation will shift the way you think about your health.

In this episode, Mindie sits down with Grammy Award-winning producer, composer, and author Barry Goldstein for a rich conversation about music as a tool for healing, heart coherence, creative flow, and energetic management. Barry shares his unlikely journey (from house music and hip hop in the Bronx, to winning a Grammy with Les Paul, to pioneering the use of music and sound as medicine) and offers deeply practical wisdom for entrepreneurs looking to protect their energy and bring their biggest visions into the world.

Episode Highlights

• From the Bronx to the Grammy stage — Barry grew up with a love of music planted by his mother at the piano, learned guitar in the '70s (sporting what he calls "the Jaffer," a Jewish Afro), and eventually won a Grammy for Best Rock Instrumental working alongside Les Paul, the inventor of the electric guitar.
• Burnout led to breakthrough — After achieving success in club music and hip hop production, Barry hit a wall. Determined to reconnect with the joy of music, he set his metronome to 60 BPM and began composing long, unstructured soundscapes, unknowingly pioneering what we now understand as heart coherence music.
• The science of sound and heart coherence — Barry breaks down how music at 60 BPM can synchronize your heart rate, slow your breathing, and produce smooth, orderly heart rhythms (the very definition of heart coherence) while simultaneously shifting the brain into alpha and theta waves associated with creativity and flow state.
• Music as energetic management — Barry reframes music not just as art or medicine, but as a tool for scheduling and protecting your energy throughout the day. He lays out a simple "three meals a day" approach: an activating song in the morning, a mid-day reset during your energy dip, and 60 BPM music in the evening to wind down and unlock insight before sleep.
• Creativity belongs to everyone — Barry makes the case that creativity isn't reserved for artists. Every interaction, every moment of connection, ripples outward in ways we can't always see. He encourages listeners to carve out even five minutes a day for their vision and watch momentum build.
• Embrace the edge — Barry's closing message to entrepreneurs on the precipice of something new: the edge is exactly where you want to be. Whether it leads to a fall or to soaring, the gift is in being there at all, alive to possibility and in motion on your HeartPath.
