I sat down with EMR advocate Beverly Jensen to unpack how routers, smart meters, toys, and wearables can disrupt sleep, stress the nervous system, and derail kids’ development—and what you can do this week to take control. Beverly traces her journey from growing up around early satellite communications to developing radiation sensitivity after months beside a router. She explains the biology in plain terms: our bodies run on electricity, and strong, pulsed radio-frequency fields can interfere with those signals.

You’ll learn how to map hotspots with an RF meter, why bedrooms should be device‑free sanctuaries, and how simple moves—like relocating and shielding a router, hardwiring with Ethernet, and using airplane mode—can slash exposure by 90% or more without losing connectivity.

We dive into family health, too. Beverly shares research on pregnancy, autism risk, and early childhood development, along with practical steps for parents: Finally, we talk about the bigger picture: rising telecom infrastructure, and why community action matters for both health and home values. This is a clear, calm roadmap to living well with technology—on your terms. If this conversation helps, share it with a friend, subscribe for more practical health insights, and leave a review with the one change you’ll make this week.

William Person, a former Team USA bobsledder, opens up about the years he lost to brain fog, panic, migraines, and crushing depression—only to trace it back to the relentless G-forces and micro-impacts to the brain that are baked into his sport. We follow William’s turning point as he connects his symptoms to the same patterns seen in veterans exposed to blasts, survivors of domestic violence, and crash victims. The label many of them eventually wear—CTE—can only be confirmed after death, which leaves families guessing while symptoms escalate.

The breakthrough arrives in a hyperbaric oxygen chamber. One hour under pressure lifts a decade of fog for William. He explains why HBOT helps post-concussion syndrome: oxygen-rich plasma reaches injured tissue, inflammation eases, and the brain gets a chance to recalibrate. We also discuss the expense of sessions, and how the people who need help most are often priced out. Along the way, he shares the stories of teammates and veterans lost to suicide, the gaps in our systems, and the small signs families can watch for that point to a brain in distress.

William’s passion has been creating the American Post-Concussion Wellness Center, a nonprofit dedicated to offering free HBOT care for Vets and professional athletes, and educating athletes stepping into high-risk sports. If you or someone you love is navigating post-concussion symptoms, this conversation offers a map: what to try now, and where to find help today. Listen, share it with a teammate or vet, and help us widen access to treatment. If the episode helped you, subscribe, leave a review, and tell us what you want us to dig into next.

What if the aches you’ve blamed on age are actually fixable? We sit down with physical therapist and nutrition educator Eileen Kopsaftis to rethink pain, and the beliefs that quietly drive decline. Eileen shares consistent shifts that can change everything: how your back feels, how your bones adapt, and how your strength returns. We start by challenging the cultural script that normalizes a shoebox of prescriptions and shrinking horizons.

You’ll learn about practical routines she gives clients, and when McKenzie-based movements can settle disc-related pain without surgery. Drawing on research linking impaired lumbar blood flow to degeneration, she makes the case for a whole food, plant-forward approach that supports endothelial function, increases nitric oxide, and calms inflammation. We also unpack bone density myths, T-scores vs Z-scores, and why calcium from leafy greens and almonds beats pills that often pass unabsorbed.

On muscle, the data points to inactivity—not age—as the culprit. By incorporating adequate hydration and complex carbs to fuel your workouts, people in their 70s and 80s build strength, stability, and confidence. Expect clear steps, not platitudes, and a hopeful reframing backed by stories of people who avoided surgery, shed pain, and reclaimed their independence. If you’re ready to swap decline for design, hit play, take notes, and try the free movement assessment Eileen shares to personalize your plan.

Enjoyed this conversation? Follow the show, share it with a friend who needs hope, and leave a review to help more people find practical, science-informed ways to move pain-free.

A blank page can feel like a cliff edge—especially when your life has been torn open by loss. Author and coach Marie Crews joins us to share how a simple, structured journaling practice helped her survive her son’s death and uncover a grounded path back to connection and peace. What started as morning pages became a reliable dialogue with a wiser voice, one that didn’t sugarcoat the pain but expanded the story with context, compassion, and courage. We walk through Marie’s four-step method—Reveal, Review, Rewrite, Rewire—and why each phase matters. The reveal is raw truth without censorship. The review identifies pain points and beliefs that keep suffering in place. The rewrite offers a kinder, reality-based narrative that includes your limits and strengths. And the rewire uses rehearsal and witnessing to turn insight into a new nervous system pattern. This is trauma-aware, practical, and deeply human work that serves divorce recovery, creative blocks, midlife shifts, and profound grief.

Marie also opens the door to her retreats, including specialized gatherings for mothers who have lost a child. In those rooms, validation becomes medicine and connection becomes a bridge to ongoing bonds that don’t violate faith traditions or demand a specific spiritual label. We talk about identity shifts, self-love as a daily practice, and why the answers we chase are already inside us—waiting to be revealed on the page.

If this resonated, share it with a friend who needs hope, subscribe for more conversations like this, and leave a review to help others find the show.

What if your body is telling the truth you won’t say out loud? We sit down with Nima Rahmany to unpack the trauma response of "fawning", and learn how chronic people pleasing freezes your authentic voice, strains your nervous system, and quietly fuels physical symptoms. Nima opens up about his own wake-up call, and the hard lessons that turned into practical tools for regulation and repair.

We trace how children learn to trade authenticity for attachment, and how power dynamics decide whether we fight, flee, freeze, or fawn. Nima breaks down polyvagal theory in plain language so you can recognize sympathetic activation, dorsal shutdown, and ventral safety in your own body and in others. You’ll learn how to become the operator of your state, not a passenger—interrupting people pleasing, tolerating the guilt of setting honest boundaries, and using anger as medicine rather than something to hide.

Nima shares the “rage run,” a structured blend of sprint intervals and striking that completes fight-flight energy so calm can return. We also explore relationship dynamics: the shift from chaotic, trauma-bonded intensity to steady, secure connection; and why true repair beats perfection. Real stories show health turning points and relational breakthroughs when clients stop outsourcing safety and start choosing themselves. Ready to trade chronic appeasement for nervous system safety and self-respect? Listen now, share it with someone who needs stronger boundaries, and subscribe to get more honest conversations on healing and secure love. If this resonated, leave a review—your words help others find the tools they’ve been missing.

We follow Sam Shepard’s journey from a terminal bone marrow cancer diagnosis to the creation of a life saving formulation born from observing animals that rarely develop cancer. The conversation blends hard biochemistry, personal resolve, and a call to rethink inflammation as the common link behind many chronic diseases.

Sam reflects back on the dark moment where he relinquished control to a higher power, and instantly received a message that would ultimately direct him toward a healing solution. Using his varied educational background, including a Master's degree in both biochemical and environmental engineering, Sam was able to determine the process by which certain species are able to evade cancer. He then created his own "backyard lab" and formulated a treatment that is now called "Valasta" (a potent form of Astaxanthin found in algae). We dive into a variety of inflammatory diseases that can be addressed with Valasta, and the testing that can be done to monitor your progress.

What if your symptoms aren’t random but signals asking for better inputs? We sit down with Dr. Alexandra Geyer, an emergency physician turned metabolic health expert, to map a clear route from “normal labs” to real recovery. Her story of hitting a wall during residency and rebuilding health informs a practical, hopeful framework that blends advanced diagnostics, evidence-backed peptides, and everyday habits that actually stick.

Dr. Geyer explains why metabolic health is the engine for energy, mood, sleep, and longevity, and how to measure it beyond the scale. We then widen the lens to hormone health, including free T3 and thyroid antibodies to catch early Hashimoto’s, plus sex hormones that determine drive and resilience. The message is simple: when you fix the signals, action feels possible again.

Peptides step in as precision tools, not magic bullets. You’ll hear how BPC-157 calms inflammation and supports tissue repair so movement stops hurting; how Selank and Semax lower neuroinflammation, lift BDNF, and restore calm focus; and how Pinealon can reset circadian rhythm with a short, yearly cycle. Safety comes first: no black-market sourcing, strict sterility and purity testing, and clear contraindications for cancer and pregnancy. We also dive into gut microbiome testing to address stubborn symptoms and the role of micronutrients when convenience foods drain capacity.

By the end, you’ll have a grounded plan: build lean muscle, favor whole foods that don’t hijack appetite, test what matters, repair the gut, and use targeted peptides to amplify the good habits you’re already trying to keep. Ready to trade quick fixes for lasting change? Follow, share with a friend who needs hope, and leave a review telling us which test or habit you’ll start this week.
