Have you ever walked out of a doctor's office with "normal" blood work but zero answers for your exhaustion, weight gain, or brain fog? You aren't crazy, and you aren't just "getting older."

In this episode, Dr. Z reveals why standard medical labs often miss the root cause of your symptoms. We break down the difference between your organs being "present" versus "communicating," and why taking more supplements might be like piling paperwork on a desk where no one is working.

If your nervous system is stuck in "Survival Mode," your body will block healing to protect you. Learn how to switch from defense to discovery using the TRUE Wellness™ Framework and Bioenergetic Coherence™.

In this episode, you will learn:

• Why "Normal" labs don't mean optimal health.
• The "Corporate Office" analogy: Why your body's communication network is down.
• Why "Survival Mode" shuts down digestion, hormones, and energy.
• How to stop forcing healing and start signaling safety.
• The TRUE Wellness™ Framework: Tuning In, Reconnecting, Uncovering, and Empowering.

What if healing isn’t about pushing harder — but listening deeper?

In this episode, we explore why stress, trauma, and unprocessed emotion live in the body… and how true healing begins when force stops.

Stress doesn’t just live in your mind — it embeds itself into your body.

In this powerful episode of True Wellness with Doctor D, Dr. Danielle sits down with holistic practitioner Vince Glasser, whose work bridges myofascial release, transcendental meditation, Ayurveda, and consciousness-based healing.

With over three decades of experience, Vince explains why pain, tension, and burnout are often signs of unresolved stress — not mechanical failure. Together, they explore how trauma gets stored in the fascia, why forcing the body backfires, and how awareness, stillness, and nervous system regulation unlock real healing.

This conversation is for anyone who:

• Feels “stuck” in their body despite doing all the right things
• Is tired of pushing through pain, stress, or exhaustion
• Wants to heal in a way that feels sustainable, aligned, and whole

About Vince Glasser:

Vince Glasser learned Transcendental Meditation in 1993 during a high-stress career as a senior scientist and project manager. He became a New York State–licensed massage therapist in 2009, completed expert-level myofascial release training with John F. Barnes, earned a Master’s degree in Ayurveda and Integrative Medicine in 2018, and trained as a TM teacher in Switzerland. His work integrates body, mind, and consciousness to support deep, lasting healing.

5 KEY TAKEAWAYS

1. Stress and trauma are stored in the body, not just the mind. Pain and tension often reflect unprocessed emotional or nervous system stress.
2. Forcing healing creates more resistance. The body releases when it feels safe — not when it’s pushed.
3. Awareness is a healing tool. Simply bringing attention to the body can initiate profound release.
4. Stillness restores what activity cannot. Deep rest and meditation allow the nervous system to reset in ways sleep alone cannot.
5. Healing is about alignment, not control. When you stop overriding your body, it begins to reorganize itself naturally.

What if burnout isn’t a failure — but a message your body refuses to ignore?

In this episode, Dr. Dee sits down with Bron Watson, entrepreneur and founder of The Serenity Project, to talk about what happens when hustle stops working — and why alignment matters more than productivity.

After building businesses for over a decade, Bron faced two cancer diagnoses that forced her to confront a truth many high-achievers avoid: you can’t market, grind, or optimize your way out of a life that isn’t aligned.

This conversation explores:

• Why burnout is often a biological and emotional warning sign
• The cost of building success from exhaustion
• How alignment creates sustainable health, clarity, and impact
• What it really means to slow down without losing momentum

About Bron Watson:

Bron Watson built businesses for a decade before two cancer diagnoses taught her the most important lesson: you can’t market your way out of a life that isn’t working. Through The Serenity Project, she now helps others build lives and businesses rooted in alignment, clarity, and sustainability — not burnout.

Listen now and reflect on what your body might be asking you to change.

5 Key Takeaways From the Episode

1. Burnout is not a mindset issue — it’s often a biological and emotional signal.
2. Hustle can create short-term wins while quietly draining long-term health.
3. Alignment is not slowing down; it’s choosing sustainability over survival.
4. Illness and burnout often arrive when the body has been ignored too long.
5. True success supports your nervous system, not just your goals.

What if the reason you’re exhausted, inflamed, foggy, or stuck… isn’t because you’re doing something wrong?

What if your body is simply in survival mode?

In this solo episode, Dr. Dee breaks down what survival mode really is, why so many high-achieving women get trapped there, and how chronic stress quietly shuts down healing, metabolism, hormones, and energy.

This isn’t about pushing harder.

It’s about understanding your nervous system — and learning how to bring your body back into safety, regulation, and alignment.

If you’ve ever said:

• “I don’t feel like myself anymore”
• “No matter what I do, nothing works”
• “I’m doing all the right things and still exhausted”

This episode is for you.

🎧 Listen now and learn how to work with your body — not against it.

5 KEY TAKEAWAYS THAT YOU CAN LEARN

1. Survival mode is a nervous system state — not a mindset problem
2. You can’t force healing when your body doesn’t feel safe
3. Chronic stress shuts down hormones, metabolism, and recovery
4. Symptoms are signals, not failures
5. Regulation — not restriction — is the path back to energy and clarity

What if brain fog isn’t a mental problem — but a biological signal?

In this solo episode of the TRUE Wellness Podcast, Dr. Dee breaks down the real reason brain fog shows up, especially in high-performing women navigating midlife, stress, and hormone shifts.

This episode explains why focus, memory, and clarity disappear even when labs look “normal” and you’re doing everything right. You’ll learn how nervous system overload, inflammation, hormonal miscommunication, and metabolic stress quietly shut down cognitive performance.

Brain fog isn’t random. It’s not aging. And it’s not in your head. It’s your body asking for a different sequence.

• Brain fog is a nervous system and metabolic issue, not a mindset failure. When the brain perceives stress or danger, clarity is sacrificed for survival.
• Hormones and brain function are directly linked. Cortisol, insulin, estrogen, and inflammation all affect focus, memory, and processing speed.
• Chronic stress blocks blood flow and glucose delivery to the brain. Your brain can’t think clearly without fuel and safety.
• Supplements don’t fix brain fog without regulation first. Nervous system sequencing matters more than stacking protocols.
• Clarity returns when the body feels safe, nourished, and supported. Brain fog lifts when communication is restored — not when pressure increases.

What if your hormones aren’t broken—your nervous system is just overwhelmed?

In this episode of True Wellness, Dr. Dee sits down with Akary Busto, Emotional Biohacker and Nervous System Strategist, to unpack the real root of burnout, inflammation, hormone resistance, and emotional reactivity in women.

We explore how trauma, chronic stress, metabolism, and even Human Design intersect with biology—and why healing can’t happen until the nervous system feels safe. This conversation blends science, physiology, and soul in a way that’s practical, empowering, and deeply validating

If you’ve ever felt exhausted, stuck, or “not yourself,” this episode will change how you understand your body.

5 THINGS YOU WILL LEARN FROM THIS EPISODE

1. Hormones don’t work in isolation — they respond to the nervous system.
2. Burnout and overwhelm are biological signals, not personal failures.
3. Healing requires safety before strategy.
4. Emotions are physiological — not something to “think your way out of.”
5. Alignment restores energy, metabolism, and self-trust.

What if the reason January diets fail isn’t lack of discipline — but hormonal resistance?

In this solo New Year’s Day episode of the TRUE Wellness Podcast, Dr. Dee breaks down why restriction feels productive… but quietly trains your body to resist weight loss.

This conversation dives into:

• why high-achieving women plateau despite “doing everything right”
• how cortisol, insulin, and nervous system stress override diet plans
• why eating less often creates more inflammation, not fat loss
• what your body is actually asking for in midlife

If you’ve ever started January motivated, restricted, and disciplined — only to feel tired, stuck, or heavier — this episode will finally explain why.

This isn’t about willpower.
It’s about regulation.

5 KEY TAKEAWAYS FROM THIS EPISODE

1. Restriction creates hormonal resistance, not metabolic freedom.

2. Cortisol overrides diet, supplements, and exercise every time.

3. Midlife weight gain is a stress signal, not a discipline failure.

4. Eating less trains the body to conserve, not release weight.

5. Regulation beats restriction for sustainable fat loss.

You’re eating clean. You’re hydrating. You skipped dessert.

So why does your energy feel like it’s at 2%?

In this solo episode of the TRUE Wellness Podcast, Dr. Dee breaks down the real reason high-achieving women crash during the holidays — and it has nothing to do with food.

This episode exposes the invisible energy drain created by:

• social masking

• emotional labor

• boundary collapse

• nervous system overload

You’ll learn why chronic fatigue, brain fog, flares, and blood sugar crashes happen even when you “do everything right,” and how your nervous system — not your diet — may be neutralizing all your healthy habits.

If you’ve ever thought, “I followed the protocol perfectly… so why do I feel awful?”

This episode will finally make it make sense.

5 KEY TAKEAWAYS

1. Energy is a physical currency — not a mindset issue or a willpower problem.
2. Social masking burns massive amounts of fuel, even when you’re smiling.
3. Cortisol overrides diet, supplements, and protocols every time.
4. Boundary collapse looks like fatigue, not just people-pleasing.
5. The best superfood might be a well-placed boundary, not another supplement.
