Being You with Lisa Raleigh and Stafford Masie

The science behind stress, resilience, and real vitality. What if your stress, energy, resilience, and emotional state could finally be measured... not guessed? In this episode, Lisa and Stafford sit down with Dr. Costa and Toni, the pioneers behind the new plenti VitaNeu test, to explore the science of physiology and the revolutionary idea that when you heal your physiology, you heal your life. We unpack why Dr. Costa left conventional medicine, Toni’s journey through cutting-edge wellness tech, and how understanding the nervous system changes everything; from burnout and anxiety to performance and longevity. This isn’t theory. It’s data-driven insight into how the body and mind truly communicate.
