Host Don Saladino is joined by chef and wellness expert Candice Kumai. Candice shares her journey from being the youngest female contestant on Top Chef to becoming a leading voice in the wellness industry. From the longevity secrets of Japanese culture to the discipline of professional cooking, this episode is a masterclass in resilience and finding beauty in the "golden repair" of our own lives.

Candice shares her journey growing up between cultures, navigating the pressures of the wellness industry, and ultimately finding balance through simplicity, discipline, and connection. 

They also discuss Candice’s Japanese-Polish heritage and how the Japanese philosophy of Kintsugi has guided her through multiple career reinventions and personal challenges. Candice and Don discuss the importance of mental health, overcoming burnout, and the power of returning to simplicity in a crowded wellness space.
