Brent Pella is a great guy and neighbor to Brian and Dr. Gary in West Los Angeles. We really loved having him on the show to lighten things up and talk about how comedy can 

Brent Pella is a stand-up comedian whose comedy sketches, celebrity impressions and parody music videos have gained more than 50 million views online and have been featured on MTV, Funny or Die, BroBible, Worldstar HipHop and more. A graduate of both the UCB and Groundlings improv/sketch programs in LA, Brent is best known for his impressions of Eminem, The Rock, and 'Young Jamie' from the Joe Rogan podcast, in addition to viral comedy shorts "How the Grinch Took Mushrooms," and "Why You Shouldn't Fly Spirit Airlines," which gained 3 million views in the first day of release and took the #1 trending spot on both Reddit and Youtube the same day. 

Brent's live show is a mixture of stand-up and original characters in a high-energy format that's inspired by experiences of growing up with a single mother, the audacity of adulthood, and attempts at becoming a "conscious bro."  Brent currently lives in Los Angeles and headlines comedy clubs and colleges around the US, while continuing to produce his own content for release on Instagram (@BrentPella) and at YouTube.com/BrentPella as well as his weekly podcast The Brent Pella Show.

At the heart of SAPIEN Podcast-Optimum Health & Wellness is a conversation between two distinct yet complementary voices: health and nutrition expert Brian Sanders and hormone optimization specialist Chris Kruger. Their dialogue moves beyond generic advice, digging into the interconnected layers of what it truly means to thrive. This means examining not just physical health, but the mental and spiritual components that are so often overlooked. The framework for these discussions is built on ancestral principles-ideas that suggest our modern lives have strayed from the patterns that keep us well. Each episode of this podcast feels like a practical workshop. You’ll hear specific, actionable strategies for improving diet, managing weight, and addressing the root causes of chronic disease. The focus isn't on fleeting trends but on sustainable practices that can be woven into daily life. Alongside Brian and Chris’s insights, they are frequently joined by top guests from various health fields, offering deeper dives into specialized topics. Listening, you get the sense of being part of a larger exploration, one that equips you with the knowledge to not just prevent illness but to actively reverse its course and cultivate a more vibrant, resilient existence. It’s a resource for anyone tired of fragmented health information and seeking a cohesive, principle-based path to living their best life.
