Jessica Ernst is a creative entrepreneur, real estate professional, and host of Glow Talks with Jess who transformed devastating loss into a platform for healing. After losing her husband Rudy to aggressive melanoma, Jessica became both a caregiver to three teenagers and architect of her own recovery. In this episode of the Legacy and Longevity podcast with host Zach Dancel, Jessica reveals why her first call after his death was to optimize her hormones, how untreated Candida and mold exposure nearly derailed her comeback, and why grief demanded she perform at double capacity. Jessica breaks down the gut-brain connection that manifests as anxiety and depression, the ozone therapy that resets her immune system, and the daily practices that keep high-performers grounded when life collapses. You'll learn why food sensitivities create mental symptoms most people medicate instead of addressing, how hormone optimization enables caregivers to show up fully, and why legacy means leaving every person and place better than you found it. This conversation bridges peak performance with profound loss, demonstrating that health optimization isn't luxury-it's survival when your family depends on you being present.
