Third Chances

Vera Czerny

For those who know there’s more to health than just managing symptoms. We're addressing healthy aging, cellular intelligence, and reinvention for women 50+ who are not done living fully.

If you’re doing all the “right things” and still not where you want to be, this podcast may challenge everything you’ve been told.

Because more supplements, more effort, and more discipline aren’t always the answer.

Most approaches focus on what to add.
Very few address how the body already FUNCTIONS at the cellular level.

This podcast explores a deeper approach to healing and longevity, starting where it all begins. We talk about healthy aging, age reversal, your own biology, cellular health and the emerging science of cell signaling - without reducing the body to yet another supplement trend. Tools that work and those that may cause more harm than good.

Through conversations with experts and real-life stories, we uncover:

• why the body stops responding the way it used to
• what most wellness tools are missing
• and how to support the body in doing what it was designed to do

If you’re ready to think differently, take ownership, and reactivate your health from the inside out at the roots, you’re in the right place.

Got a great story to tell?

    Unbreakable: From Childhood Trauma to Navy SEAL to Powerlifting Champion

    Unbreakable: From Childhood Trauma to Navy SEAL to Powerlifting Champion - Tommy Richardson’s Journey Episode Summary: What does it take to survive the unthinkable - and come out stronger than ever? In this jaw-dropping episode, I sit down with Tommy Richardson - Navy SEAL veteran, Marine, elite resilience coach, and founder of Divine Savagery. We talk about overcoming childhood bullying, surviving combat, enduring grueling Navy SEAL training (including Hell Week with a broken pelvis!), and his miraculous recovery from brain surgery that left doctors stunned. Tommy opens up about: Childhood adversity: How brutal bullying and a strict household pushed him to the edge and the voice that saved his life. Military mindset: Lessons from combat zones across the globe, including how to lead, adapt, and build unshakable teams. A brotherhood forged in fire: How a life-long connection with the Luttrell twins - including Marcus Luttrell (yes, the Lone Survivor) - who likely helped open some door that tipped the scale in Tommy's favor for an atypical path from the Marines into the elite world of Navy SEALs. Resilience & faith: Why forging mental toughness requires both fire and purpose. Radical recovery: How he set a goal to go from lifting 5 lbs post-brain surgery to benching 500 lbs in under a year. Life after service: Turning battlefield lessons into boardroom strategies for leadership, wellness, and personal growth. Tommy doesn’t just share stories - he delivers battle-tested strategies for anyone facing adversity, feeling stuck, or chasing an impossible goal. If you’ve ever wondered how far grit, faith, and purpose can take you - this episode will show you.

    From Coma to Calling: Michelle Drew on Taking Back Your Health and Life

    What happens when your body forces you to stop — and you barely make it out alive? In this powerful episode of Third Chances, I sit down with Michelle Drew - Certified Naturopathic Wellness Consultant, Transformational Speaker, and founder of a functional wellness company that helps women 40+ reclaim their energy and vitality. Michelle’s story is nothing short of extraordinary: From a corporate recruiter and work-hard/play-harder lifestyle… To wake up from a medically induced coma after her family was told to prepare for the worst. To build a thriving company with nurse practitioners, nutritionists, and medical specialists that provides the functional medicine solutions she wishes she’d had when she needed them most. We talk about: The terrifying health crisis that became her wake-up call. Why blood work can reveal what “symptom-chasing” never will. The approach she uses to help women take back control of their health and energy. If you’ve ever felt like your body was sending you warnings you’ve been ignoring, this conversation might be the nudge you need. 🎧 Watch on YOUTUBE: [ https://youtu.be/5hEb9viP1xY ] If you want to reach out to Michelle, here is the best contact info: Website: https://MichelleDrew.com (being updated) Calendar Link: https://calendly.com/mdrew-natural-wellness/30-minute-virtual-meeting Free Gift: https://bit.ly/Wellness-Starter-Kit * If you enjoyed this episode, please SUBSCRIBE to my channel so you don't miss another inspirational story like this.
