You were never meant to override yourself into success.
The Hopeful & Wholesome Podcast is the space where high-achieving women come back to their bodies and find that's where the deeper, richer, more expansive life was waiting all along.
Host Hope Pedraza — Functional Diagnostic Nutrition Practitioner, Human Design Guide, NLP Practitioner, and Reiki Practitioner — brings weekly conversations at the intersection of functional health, human design, and soul-led living.
Each week we go deep on:
- Functional labs, hormones, and root cause healing
- Human Design, energetics, and body intelligence
- Nervous system regulation and somatic healing
- Subconscious reprogramming and inner authority
- Pleasure, intuition, and the fully reclaimed woman
Join Hope and her inspiring guests for transformative conversations designed to help you live your best life with hope and purpose.
This is where the reclamation begins: from the inside out.

Martha is a pioneering force in microbiome research, on a deeply personal mission to revolutionize how we approach health, gut science, and chronic diseases.
After her husband was diagnosed with Parkinson’s in 2002, Martha taught herself chemistry, physics, microbiology, and genetics to understand the world of the microbiome and how whole-body wellness is tied to a healthy gut. She founded The BioCollective, a microbiome research company, and BiotiQuest, a probiotic brand designed to restore gut health.
With numerous scientific publications and patents under her belt, Martha’s work is shaping the future of how we view health and disease prevention. She received a $1.2 million NIH grant for her groundbreaking work and was named a Colorado Titan 100 CEO in 2020.
A respected voice in the microbiome field, Martha was a speaker at The White House 2016 Microbiome Initiative launch, and has addressed industry events worldwide. She also spoke at TedxBoulder, advocating for a more holistic, systems-based approach to medicine.
