Live Purely with Elizabeth

This week, Elizabeth sits down with Camilla Marcus, chef, entrepreneur, activist, author, and mom for a conversation about food, leadership, and what it really means to build a life rooted in joy and intention. Drawing from her California roots and deep connection to hospitality, Camilla shares how food became one of her earliest ways of understanding people, culture, and care, and how that perspective eventually shaped everything from her restaurant career to founding west~bourne.

They chat about what regenerative agriculture actually means, why it matters for both personal wellness and the future of our food system, and why the most powerful changes often start with small, everyday choices. Camilla explains why flavor is non-negotiable, how soil health impacts nutrient density, and why supporting regenerative farmers is one of the most meaningful things we can do for the planet and our bodies. She also opens up about building a business through the lens of hospitality, checking your ego at the door, and learning to gear your life toward what brings real energy and joy. Camilla also teases a few favorite new recipes from her new cookbook, My Regenerative Kitchen!

This week, Elizabeth sits down with Chelsea Parke Kramer, founder of Parke, the effortlessly cool denim and elevated basics brand you’ve likely seen all over your feed. Chelsea shares how a chance discovery of vintage Levi’s at a Miami farmers market became the spark for Parke, and how reworked men’s jeans grew into a fast-moving, community-driven fashion brand. They dive into what it really looks like to build community both online and in real life, from TikTok storytelling to IRL pop-ups and meetups. Chelsea opens up about trusting your gut as a young founder, growing from a scrappy startup to a 20-person team, and the systems and support that made scaling possible. She also talks about how her background as a college athlete shapes her discipline today, and why movement is a non-negotiable for staying grounded through the highs and lows of entrepreneurship. If you’re building something, or thinking about taking that first scary step, this conversation will leave you feeling inspired and a little braver.

In this week’s episode, Elizabeth is joined by award-winning journalist Meghan Rabbitt, author of The New Rules of Women’s Health: Your Guide to Thriving at Every Age. Known for translating complex science into everyday language, Meghan brings a no-nonsense lens to the gaps in women’s health research, and what we can finally start doing about it.
From brain fog and hormonal shifts to the labs you’re not getting (but should be), Meghan walks us through the decades of missed data, the rise of women-centered care, and why fiber is the unsung hero of 2026. She also shares the surprising story of how Maria Shriver personally asked her to write the book, plus tips on building your own health manifesto, starting with asking better questions, tracking your symptoms, and choosing a provider who actually listens.

This week, Elizabeth is joined by Danielle Duboise, co-founder of Sakara and one of the most thoughtful voices shaping today’s wellness landscape. Danielle brings a human-centered, emotionally intelligent perspective to food, one rooted in nourishment, not restriction. Danielle shares her personal journey from pre-med studies to discovering food as medicine and building Sakara’s plant-based philosophy around joy, gut health, and cellular nourishment. She and Elizabeth chat about the difference between nutrition and nourishment, the overlooked role of emotional connection and joy in eating, and why focusing on individual nutrients misses the bigger picture. Danielle also reflects on building a mission-driven brand over more than a decade: scaling consciously, staying true to her values, and helping others unlearn shame-based food narratives.
