Your Healthiest Healthy with Samantha Harris

by Samantha Harris

Science-backed, do-able health for women in midlife and beyond — menopause, hormones, breast cancer prevention, gut health and longevity — with Emmy-winning journalist, 2x breast cancer thriver and Certified Health Coach Samantha Harris. Hi, my friends, it's Samantha — WELCOME! Many of you may know me from eight seasons as the co-host of "Dancing with the Stars" and "Entertainment Tonight". Today I'm also a #1 bestselling wellness author (Your Healthiest Healthy, the book), a Certified Health Coach & Certified Trainer. Thriving through and beyond two battles with breast cancer brought me to you! Yes, breast cancer blindsided me at age 40. That diagnosis sent me searching for real answers on how to lower our risk of chronic disease and live more vibrantly. Then at 50, BAM! — a recurrence knocked me down again. That's when I realized that trying to be "100% toxin-free" 100% of the time fails. Every. Time. The overwhelm, fear and worry were just too much. So I created my "10% Toxic" method to succeed and share optimal, attainable health with others. The strategic swaps that allow you to lower your toxic burden as close to 10% as you can, and keep that 10% wiggle room to live fully, not fearfully. It's not about chasing perfect. On every episode, I sit down with leading doctors, researchers and wellness experts (plus solo coaching sessions and "best of" recaps with just me) to turn the latest science into small, manageable steps you can start today. Topics include menopause and HRT, hormonal and vaginal health, breast cancer prevention and survivorship, gut health, nutrition and plant-based eating, GLP-1s and weight loss, intermittent fasting, blood sugar, bone and muscle strength, sleep, brain health, stress and anxiety, inflammation, detoxing, toxin-free beauty and home, biohacking, longevity and so much more. Time to take your wellness power back and become YOUR Healthiest Healthy. Let's do this — together! Subscribe so you never miss an episode, and if you love it, please share it with a friend. (And a warm ask from you? It would mean to the world to me to leave a 5-star review...thanks, in adance!). Be sure to connect with me on social for more answers to your questions or just a simple hello!

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

Samantha is so high energy and engaging! It is so easy to listen to this podcast, and the guests are amazing! I especially loved her episode with Dr. Stacy Sims. So much great information on women’s health and why weightlifting is so important as you age. Highly recommend!

Dr. Kate Davis · Apr 2026

So fun! Such helpful guidance in a way I totally can understand. Highly recommend. Samantha has incredible, electric energy — and her insights, tools and practical advice inspire me to put them into action, too! Been looking for a podcast that is fun but also gives great, easy tips to get healthier. Love it! I knew her from Dancing with the Stars and her other entertainment news shows, and always liked her … but this format coupled with her expertise is engaging, warm, relatable and she totally asks exactly the questions I want answers to! (Plus I love her solo coaching episodes for deep dives into specific wellness topics). Anyhow, yes, it’s my go-to on my faves rotation.
