The natural products industry is mourning the sudden loss of Rob Spears, who passed on November 11, 2025, at the age of 75. Rob is remembered as a true champion of holistic health and wellness, beloved by all who knew him. Alongside his wife and co-host, Brenda Michaels, he spent 24 years guiding listeners through Conscious Talk Radio in Seattle—becoming a beacon of natural health information for the Pacific Northwest. A certified Intuitive Healer through The Stillpoint Institute, as well as a practitioner of Reconnection Therapy and Reiki, Rob dedicated his life to helping people, animals, and the environment thrive. His obituary describes him as a renaissance man—once a Hollywood writer, later a contractor, and ultimately a spiritual healer and trusted voice in natural health—yet above all, one of the kindest and most gracious souls one could meet. NYT bestselling author Ann Louise Gittleman, Ph.D., CNS, recalls his compassion, depth of knowledge, and genuine concern during their many interviews, calling him “a beacon of light” who will be deeply missed.

Loved ones invite friends and industry members to visit his memoriam page on The Neptune Society website to light a candle or share a memory, and in lieu of flowers, Brenda asks for donations to Best Friends Sanctuary in Kanab, UT. As Brenda shares, “My beloved Rob was an amazing husband, brother, partner, healer, and friend. His legacy speaks for itself—his humor, his love for animals, his dedication to making a difference, and his gift for making everyone feel they mattered will live on in all of us.”
