Fuel Your Body, Free Your Mind: Meet Core Conversations
What if small, doable choices could change your health—and your life? Core Conversations is a new podcast from Ampelis, a mental health company devoted to improving Human Performance—helping people find meaning, purpose, and everyday momentum through integrative health (body + mind + spirit). Tanna Fox, an International Sports Certified Nutritionist and founder of Live Right Nutrition, joins the conversation to share her expertise and insights.
This show isn’t about hacks or quick fixes. It’s about learning how to fuel, use, and rest your body in ways that unlock energy, clarity, and resilience—little by little.

What You’ll Get From Every Episode
Simple, sustainable steps you can try the same day (think: water, light, movement, whole foods, better sleep cues).

Stories and real-life wins that remind you change is possible (and often starts smaller than you think).
A values-driven approach that treats your health as a pathway to purpose, not perfection.

3 Episodes to Get You Started
Episode #1 Little by Little: The Science & Spirit of Real Transformation
The origin story and heartbeat of the show. You’ll hear how Ampelis evolved from a family-legacy consultancy into a clinical and lifestyle health company—and why they’re obsessed with reversing mental/emotional fragility by focusing on small, repeatable behaviors.
Teasers, not spoilers:
Why “little by little, a little becomes a lot” is more than a quote—it’s a blueprint.
How nutrition became a gateway to clearer thinking and steadier mood.
What the team is building next (including Core 7, a whole-food-based family supplement) and why education—not dependency—is their north star.
You’ll walk away thinking: Maybe my first step is just…more water, a five-minute walk, or two minutes of morning light.
Episode #2 Energy from Within: Metabolism, Mind, and Meaning
Energy isn’t luck; it’s something you build. Tanna maps out how your choices train your mitochondria (your cells’ energy engines) and why food, movement, and rest work together.
Highlights to listen for:
Metabolism is malleable: your daily rhythms either train energy…or drain it.
Whole foods > ultra-processed: your grocery cart becomes you in days.
Movement as medicine: even gentle walking dramatically helps glucose disposal and energy production.
Gut ↔ brain: what supports one, supports the other—especially for teens running on little sleep and lots of processed foods.
When supplements help: thoughtful support (like Core 7) can fill gaps, not replace real food.
One tiny experiment: Aim for a 10–15-minute walk after a meal this week and notice your afternoon brain clarity.
Episode #6 The Gut-Brain Connection: How Your Microbiome Affects Your Mood
Your gut is an ecosystem that talks to your brain through the vagus nerve. Tanna keeps it practical with travel tricks, “feed the little guys” analogies, and doable upgrades.
Key themes & takeaways:
Mood starts in the microbiome: many feel-good messengers are produced in the gut.
Food as medicine: build a simple habit stack—one probiotic food (kefir/sauerkraut), one prebiotic (fiber-rich fruit/veg) daily.
Consistency > perfection: tiny, steady inputs restore the gut lining and reduce inflammation over time.
Amino acids & recovery: why building blocks (like tryptophan) matter for emotional steadiness.
Try this this week: Add one fermented food and one extra fruit/veg daily. Keep it boring; keep it consistent.
Why Ampelis (and Why Now)?
Because health isn’t just a lab number; it’s meaningful living. Ampelis bridges clinics, coaching, and education to help you build a life you actually want to live—where your body supports your purpose. Core Conversations is the place where those ideas get translated into real-world habits.
Thank you to Ampelis for their partnership!
