The Wellness Paradigm
Podcast Description
The Wellness Paradigm is redefining what it means for women to truly heal.
This podcast invites you to move beyond outdated models, surface-level fixes, and the frustrating cycle of doing everything “right”—yet still not feeling your best.
Hosted by Shannon Salge—functional nutritionist, bioresonance practitioner, personal trainer, autoimmune warrior, and mom—this show offers a refreshing, root-cause approach that blends science, energy, movement, intuition, mindset, and nutrition.
If you’ve ever followed the protocols, taken all the supplements, and still wondered why you don’t feel better, you’re not alone. Each episode helps you uncover what’s been missing and empowers you to reconnect with your body in a way that actually works for you.
Through honest conversations and transformative insights, Shannon and her expert guests—ranging from functional medicine doctors and conventional doctors, to energy healers, therapists, nutritionists, mindset coaches, and other powerful healing facilitators—explore the full spectrum of what it means to heal deeply and sustainably.
You’ll dive into topics like hormone balance, gut health, metabolism, nervous system regulation, mineral imbalances, emotional release, subconscious reprogramming, bioresonance, fitness, energy medicine, and more. Expect practical tools, fresh perspectives, and access to healing modalities you may have never even heard of before.
Whether you’re a busy mom, a high-performing professional, or simply a woman ready to stop settling for “you’re fine,” The Wellness Paradigm will meet you where you are—and help you reclaim the vibrant, aligned health you deserve.
This isn’t just a podcast.
It’s a paradigm shift in women’s health.
And it starts now.

In this episode, Shannon Salge welcomes Andrea Ross—former elite wrestler, professional stuntwoman, and founder of a movement and mindset coaching company for women in leadership. Andrea’s journey from high-level athletics to the high-stakes world of stunt work has given her a powerful perspective on what it truly means to be strong, confident, and resilient—not just physically, but mentally and emotionally.
Andrea shares how her experience as an athlete and stuntwoman shaped her mindset, and why she now teaches women to move, fall, and play in ways that challenge perfectionism and self-doubt. She discusses the surprising lessons learned from learning to fall (literally and figuratively), and how playful, creative movement can unlock a deeper kind of confidence that so many high-achieving women are missing.
You’ll hear about:
- How movement and play have shaped Andrea’s mindset at every stage of her career—from elite athlete to stuntwoman to leadership coach
- Why learning to fall is the first step to overcoming fear and perfectionism
- The challenges high-achieving women face when it comes to play, and how playful movement helps them access confidence and joy
- How Andrea, as a mother and woman over 40, has redefined strength, recovery, and wellness for herself and her clients
- Practical tips for preventing burnout, training smarter, and making time for nature and joy in a busy life
- Why health and healing are about blending many approaches—not just one “perfect” routine
Andrea also shares her belief that consistency, not intensity, is the key to lasting success—and that sometimes, the most powerful thing you can do is show up for yourself, even if it’s just for 20 minutes a day.
Tune in for an inspiring conversation about the transformative power of movement, play, and learning to embrace the messy, joyful process of being human.
