In this episode, Nicole Doran sits down with Ilan Sobel, CEO of BioHarvest Sciences, to explore the breakthrough technology behind the supplement Vinia, a red grape-derived compound that’s clinically shown to increase blood flow, enhance brain function, and deliver results you can feel.

Ilan explains how BioHarvest’s botanical synthesis platform allows them to grow plant cells in bioreactors, unlocking rare phytonutrients like piceid resveratrol, a form 25 times more soluble than traditional resveratrol and powerful enough to replace a bottle of red wine in one capsule.

We talk about everything from how blood flow impacts mental clarity, energy, and supplement efficacy, to why so many people feel a difference within weeks of taking Vinia. Ilan also shares what’s coming next for BioHarvest, including liver-health products made from olive cells and a zero-calorie sweet protein that could reshape the food industry.

Whether you’re navigating brain fog, chronic fatigue, or just want to get more out of your current supplement stack, this episode is a must-listen.

In this raw and eye-opening episode, Nicole Doran sits down with West Palm Beach content creator Gracie Abercrombie to talk about what health really looks like behind the aesthetic.

Gracie opens up for the first time about her long struggle with disordered eating and how a GLP-1 medication helped quiet the food noise and bring balance back to her life. She also shares her journey through Hashimoto’s, why she had to walk away from high-intensity workouts, and how red light therapy, microneedling, and nervous system regulation became non-negotiables in her healing routine.

From skin health and injectables to hormonal chaos and real self-worth, this is a conversation about the intersection of wellness and womanhood. Gracie’s honesty is a breath of fresh air in an industry that too often glamorizes the extremes.
