Sasha Pieterse

In this episode of Women in the Nude, Sasha Pieterse sits down with Leslie Clingenpeel, CEO of The Spring, Oklahoma’s only faith-based certified shelter serving survivors of domestic violence, sexual assault, human trafficking, and stalking, for one of the podcast’s most powerful and eye-opening conversations yet. Leslie opens up about the realities of human trafficking that most people never see, breaking down the myths Hollywood has created and revealing how trafficking often happens through manipulation, trauma bonds, family systems, and vulnerability, not strangers in dark alleys. She shares what it’s like working directly alongside law enforcement to recover victims, the emotional weight of hearing survivors’ stories, and the groundbreaking trauma-informed model her organization is building to help survivors heal long term. Together, Sasha and Leslie discuss the importance of mental health, boundaries, healthy masculinity, consent, advocacy, and why healing requires both compassion and systemic change. From survivor support to legislative reform, this episode shines a light on the hard truths while also offering hope, resilience, and practical ways people can help. This conversation is raw, emotional, deeply human, and a reminder that awareness without action is not enough. Human trafficking often looks very different than what people imagine Vulnerability, coercion, and emotional manipulation are at the center of exploitation Survivors need long-term support, not just crisis intervention Trauma-informed care can completely change outcomes for victims Mental health, boundaries, and community support are essential when doing difficult work Healthy conversations around consent, relationships, and masculinity matter deeply Real change happens when advocacy, legislation, and survivor voices work together About Leslie Clingenpeel Leslie Clingenpeel is the CEO of The Spring, Oklahoma’s only faith-based certified shelter serving survivors of domestic violence, sexual assault, stalking, and human trafficking. She is a credentialed domestic and sexual violence response professional, policy advocate, and co-chair of the Oklahoma Coalition Against Trafficking. Under her leadership, The Spring has expanded its trauma-informed services and launched innovative survivor-centered programs focused on long-term healing and recovery.

In this episode of Women in the Nude, Sasha Pieterse sits down with David Watumull—CEO and co-founder of Ax3 Life—for an illuminating conversation about astaxanthin, one of nature's most powerful antioxidants, and its potential to revolutionize how we approach longevity and women's health. David shares the remarkable 25-year journey that began in Hawaii, where he and his father discovered the science behind astaxanthin—a molecule produced by microalgae that gives salmon and flamingos their pink color. Together, they dive into the decade-long pharmaceutical pathway, the pivot to supplements after the 2008 financial crisis, and the groundbreaking NIH-funded study showing a 12% increase in lifespan. This episode is a masterclass in understanding cellular health, oxidative stress, and inflammation—particularly for women managing PCOS, insulin resistance, and reproductive health challenges. David breaks down complex science into accessible insights about how this molecule works at the cellular level to support cardiovascular health, metabolic function, and overall longevity. This episode offers a roadmap for taking control of your health through evidence-based supplementation: Cellular Protection: How astaxanthin spans cell membranes to fight oxidative stress at its source, unlike typical antioxidants PCOS & Women's Health: Clinical evidence showing improvements in cholesterol, triglycerides, insulin resistance, and reproductive outcomes The Longevity Connection: Why this is the only supplement in NIH's 20-year testing program to achieve significant lifespan extension while remaining safe Bridging East & West: How holistic, whole-body approaches can work alongside Western medicine for optimal health Personalized Dosing: Why baseline lab work and consistent supplementation matter more than quick fixes About David Watumull David Watumull is the CEO and co-founder of Ax3 Life, a Hawaii-based longevity company dedicated to making astaxanthin accessible as a foundational supplement. With over 25 years of research and development—from pharmaceutical-grade manufacturing to clinical trials—David has positioned Ax3 Life at the forefront of science-backed longevity solutions.

In this episode of Women in the Nude, Sasha Pieterse sits down with Kate Regan—registered dietitian, nutritionist and founder of Wholesome Chick Nutrition—for a refreshing and vital conversation about dismantling diet culture and reclaiming your relationship with food. Kate opens up about her personal journey through disordered eating and how finding the "Health at Every Size" framework completely redirected her career. Together, they dive into the toxic media narratives of the 90s, the current pressures of social media, and Kate’s radical guiding principle: that you and your body are actually on the same team. This episode is a roadmap for untangling years of diet culture messaging and finding what Kate calls "food freedom." Your body is your teammate: Shifting from a mindset of combat to one of cooperation is the first step toward healing. The "Additive" Approach: True nutrition is about what you can add to your plate to feel your best, rather than what you should cut out. Blood Sugar Balance: Managing PCOS and insulin resistance requires nuance, not restriction. Ending Intergenerational Diet Culture: The language we use about our own bodies directly impacts the next generation. Community over Isolation: Recovery and growth happen best when we share our struggles and find collective support.
