Your 2 Brains And The Link To ADHD, Autism, Anxiety, And Autoimmunity with Dr. Mel Hopper Koppelman Jun 07, 2025

Show notes

In this episode, I'm back with Dr. Mel Hopper Koppelman, discussing what she believes is one of the most important and overlooked areas in health—how brain development in childhood might be at the root of the health problems you're experiencing as an adult.

You'll likely have some 'aha!' moments (maybe big ones) while listening to the podcast.

In this podcast, Dr. Mel and I discuss:

The fascinating fact that we actually have 2 brains…and how brain imbalances impact your immune system and overall health
How evolution led to our specialized, complex brain design and the main purposes it serves
Myths debunked: The misunderstood idea that the left brain controls math and logic and the right brain controls creativity, and whether it's true that we only use 10% of our brain
The overlooked brain imbalance called "functional disconnection" and why this might be at the root of health problems such as autism, ADHD, gut dysfunction, autoimmunity, dyslexia, depression, anxiety, or even chronic infections
The surprisingly easy-to-test primitive reflexes (that start in the womb!) and how they're connected to chronic disease
Could you have an immature brain stem? Dr. Mel tells us the symptoms that let you know AND how to address this issue
Why some popular health solutions might actually make you worse based on the specific brain imbalance you're experiencing
How brain imbalance can lead to changes in blood tests, such as low white blood cell count
Practical ways you can assess if you have an imbalanced brain, accounting for your particular skills, health history, and childhood experiences
The important distinction between pathologizing neurodiversity vs. helping those who wish to improve their brain's functionality in certain areas
The liberating knowledge that our brains are malleable and trainable, and we can heal even longstanding brain-related issues!

Performance Lifestyle: Live a High-Performance Life Without Burning Out with John A. Mollenhauer May 24, 2025

Show notes

After 25 years of being "Superman on the outside but a train wreck on the inside," John A. Mollenhauer has discovered the missing piece between high achievement and sustainable health.

John is an entrepreneur who started his first gym at 19 and worked with Tony Robbins in his 20s—he learned the hard way that our culture rewards the very behaviors that lead to burnout.

In this episode, John reveals how he developed the Performance Lifestyle framework after checking himself into a hospital from complete exhaustion. His method isn't about work-life balance—it's about knowing what to do, why, how, and when at the right intensity for sustainable results in both health and achievement.

This conversation offers a practical pathway to break free from the hidden lifestyle challenges keeping you stuck in the energy-debt cycle.

A Detailed Practical Guide to Dosing Red and Near-Infrared Light Therapy with Dr. Mark Cronshaw May 10, 2025

Show notes

I'm back again for my fourth conversation with Dr. Mark Cronshaw, an expert in the world of photobiomodulation (PBM), aka red light therapy. You know that when I have multiple conversations with a guest, I highly value their knowledge and want to go deeper with what they have to share.

If you want to get VERY technical and go deep with the topic of PBM, this episode is for you, and I recommend you listen to the prior 3 episodes we've recorded together.

In this conversation, Dr. Cronshaw presents what he calls his "philosophy of care" for using photobiomodulation to enhance healing, manage pain, and prevent injury. His approach focuses on a few fundamental questions:

Are you treating surface or deep tissues?
Are you seeking to stimulate healing/tissue repair or provide pain relief?

His multi-dimensional approach explains why different devices produce different results, enabling more strategic use of both professional and at-home light therapy tools.

Beyond Red Light: Dr. Cronshaw's Revolutionary Approach to PBM Therapy Apr 26, 2025

Show notes

In this episode, I'm back for a third installment of my conversation with Dr. Mark Cronshaw, one of the world's foremost photobiomodulation (PBM) experts...what most people commonly refer to as red light therapy. He's particularly one of the top experts when it comes to dosimetry (the details of how to properly "dose" light therapy).

Have you invested in red light therapy but feel confused by contradicting information?

You're certainly not alone.

In this conversation, Dr. Cronshaw challenges conventional wisdom about photobiomodulation with some insights that surprised even me! I deeply appreciate his highly informed and logical, yet relaxed, approach to this complex topic.

WARNING: My conversations with Dr. Cronshaw are NOT a simple or practical how-to guide of "go buy this device and use it this way." This podcast series intends to go deep into the scientific, technical, and theoretical nuances of PBM science. So it's NOT for everyone. These podcasts are for people who want to nerd out on PBM science. So please don't say I didn't warn you! :)

The Connection Code: Transforming Women's Lives in Just Minutes a Day with Dr. Melissa Sonners Apr 12, 2025

Show notes

In this episode of The Energy Blueprint podcast, I'm speaking with Dr. Melissa Sonners, host of the Be Inspired Mama podcast and creator of a movement that's transforming how women approach self-care.

After battling Lyme disease and mold toxicity while juggling motherhood, a chiropractic practice, and the pressure to "do it all," Dr. Sonners discovered that traditional self-care wasn't the answer—it was self-CONNECTION. Her practical approach helps busy women transform their relationship with themselves without adding more to their overflowing plates.

This conversation is essential for any woman feeling overwhelmed by life's demands.

Sunlight Secrets: Debunking Skincare Myths with Nadine Artemis Apr 05, 2025

Show notes

In this episode, I'm speaking with Nadine Artemis, author of Renegade Beauty and Holistic Dental Care. But most personally impactful to me is that she's the woman behind Living Libations, an obsessively natural skincare line that has been creating and promoting pure products for over 30 years. My family and I really love and frequently use her products.

How the Brooklyn Bridge led to Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy with Scott Sherr, MD Mar 15, 2025

Why the nervous system is the key to unlocking performance and recovery with Dr. Sean Drake Mar 08, 2025

Show notes

In this episode, I'm speaking with Dr. Sean Drake, a highly accomplished chiropractor with a fascinating career and life. His work now focuses on helping athletes, but don't stop reading just because you're not a high-level athlete. The beauty of Dr. Drake's strategies is that they apply to everyone. I actually love what he says in the interview…"Everybody's an athlete. If you have a body, you're an athlete."

At the core of his approach is that modulating the nervous system holds the key to unlocking extraordinary performance and healing.

An in-depth guide to light therapy, part 2 with Dr. Mark Cronshaw Mar 01, 2025

Show notes

In this episode, I'm back for the second part of my conversation with Dr. Mark Cronshaw, a highly respected expert in photobiomodulation (PBM), more commonly known as red light therapy.

The same warning applies to this episode as part 1! Again, this conversation is not a simple "how to" practical guide to photobiomodulation. It's a continuation of going very deep into the scientific, technical, and even theoretical nuances of PBM based on Dr. Cronshaw's vast research and clinical understanding of the topic.

Be prepared for lots of nerdy PBM science, along with a few practical pearls as our discussion unfolds.

Please listen to part 1 if you haven't already, and leave any questions you have in the comments on YouTube…we'll do our best to answer questions in future episodes.
