Marni On The Move

On this episode of Marni On The Move, I’m joined by Sylvie Beljanski—author, entrepreneur, podcast host, and founder and president of The Beljanski Foundation. Sylvie is continuing the pioneering work of her father, Dr. Mirko Beljanski, whose research focused on plant-based, non-toxic compounds that support cellular health at the DNA level—an approach studied for its potential role alongside conventional cancer treatments. Through the Beljanski Foundation, Sylvie is advancing research and education around integrative cancer care while building a broader platform rooted in this science. Her work also includes Maison Beljanski and a  range of plant-based nutraceutical supplements-Pao Pereira, Rauwolfia Vomitoria, Golden Leaf of Ginkgo Biloba, RNA Fragments, along with  Targetage, Skincare, and global advocacy for a more science-backed, holistic approach to health and disease prevention. Sylvie is also the author of Winning the War on Cancer and host of The Beljanski Cancer Talk Show, where she continues to expl

What if stress isn’t something to eliminate—but something to optimize? In this episode of Marni On The Move, Marni is joined by Dr. Sharon Bergquist, MD—physician, scientist, Associate Professor, Emory University, and author of The Stress Paradox—to explore how stress impacts the body, mind, and long-term health. From the biology of stress and recovery to the role of hormetic stressors, mitochondrial health, and mental resilience, this conversation reframes stress as a powerful tool for building resilience, improving performance, and supporting longevity. We also chat about Urolithin A as it relates to Mitochondria health and longevity.

What if the best way to explore a new city wasn’t on a tour bus, but on a run? On this episode of Marni On The Move, I’m joined by Lena Andersson, founder of Go Running Tours, a global company connecting travelers with local running guides in over 70 cities worldwide. What started as a simple idea, showing visitors her hometown of Copenhagen through a run, has grown into a global movement at the intersection of fitness, travel, and community. We talk about how Lena built Go Running Tours from the ground up, how the company is scaling internationally, and how partnerships—like their work with the Conrad New York—are bringing wellness and movement directly into the travel experience. We also dive into Lena’s favorite places to run, what makes a great running guide, and why running might just be the most authentic way to experience any destination. If you love travel, staying active on the road, and discovering cities in a more meaningful way—this episode is for you.

Fiber is the new protein. Or at least it should be getting the same attention. On this episode of the Marni On The Move podcast, I’m syncing up with Sarah Wragge, founder of Sarah Wragge Wellness and creator of the SWW Method. Sarah shares why fiber is one of the most underrated nutrients when it comes to digestion, metabolic health, and overall wellness — and why it deserves just as much focus as protein in our daily routines. Sarah’s journey into wellness started with her own health challenges, including gut issues, inflammation, and acid reflux at a young age. That experience ultimately led her to build Sarah Wragge Wellness, a coaching business and wellness brand designed to help people better understand how to fuel their bodies and create sustainable health habits. In this conversation, we talk about Sarah’s personal health journey, the inspiration behind the SWW Method, and how her programs and signature products — Optimize, Restore, and Alkalize — support digestion, nutrition, and long-term wellness.

What happens when Scandinavian performance culture meets the intensity of New York City’s fitness scene? In this episode of Marni On The Move, I’m joined by Nicoline Roth, founder of NRTHRN Strong — the Scandinavian workout sensation taking over the NYC fitness scene. Born in Copenhagen and now making serious waves in New York, NRTHRN Strong is not your typical strength, cardio or HIIT class. At the center of the experience is a completely unique machine inspired by cross-country skiing — custom to the NRTHRN Strong workout — designed to deliver powerful, full-body conditioning in a way most athletes have never experienced.

In this episode of Marni On The Move, I’m joined by Carl Daikeler, co-founder and CEO of BODi (formerly Beachbody) and one of the original pioneers of at-home fitness. More than 25 years ago, Carl saw an opportunity to bring structured, results-driven fitness into people’s homes—long before streaming platforms, wearables, or social media made it mainstream. That vision led to the creation of iconic programs like P90X and helped define an entirely new model for how people train outside the gym. In our conversation, Carl shares how direct-response marketing shaped the way fitness programs were built, distributed, and scaled; how the industry evolved from VHS to digital platforms; and how consumer priorities have shifted from aesthetics to healthspan, longevity, and sustainability. We also discuss the evolution of fitness programming through systems like Power 90, the introduction of BODi, and the launch of P90X Generation Next. Carl explains why accessibility, consistency, and community are now central to long-

There is a moment, an inflection point, a small nuance where you question your why, your mission, why you started, where you are going and you need to shift gears, dig deep, reframe and get yourself out of that rabbit hole. I’ve interviewed 400+ founders and Olympians here on the Marni On The Move podcast and 99% of them have been in this moment, including myself with three companies!
