The Neurologic Wellness Podcast
On this episode of the Neurologic Wellness Podcast, Dr. David Traster sits down with Chris Cannon of M2MMA to discuss how technology is transforming safety in combat sports. We explore how AI, real-time biometric tracking, and centralized medical data are improving our understanding of concussions and traumatic brain injury (TBI). With innovations like smart gloves and mouthguards, athletes can train smarter, recover better, and extend their careers. We also address the cultural and financial barriers that prevent fighters from reporting injuries, and why shifting toward a brain-first approach...

In this episode of the Neurologic Wellness Podcast, Dr. David Traster speaks with Cameron Allen of Neuro Progeny about using heart rate variability (HRV) biofeedback and virtual reality to retrain the nervous system. After witnessing his brother’s long-term struggle with depression and traumatic brain injury, Cameron became committed to finding more effective neuro-based solutions beyond traditional fragmented care models. Topics covered include: • HRV as a biomarker for autonomic balance • Why behavior is adaptive • Real-time VR biofeedback training • Neuroplasticity and...

EPISODE 118 | Dr. David Traster Sits Down with Allie Chandler: Chronic Illness, Lyme Disease, Mold Toxicity & POTS Recovery In this episode, Dr. David Traster interviews Allie Chandler about her journey through severe Lyme disease, mold toxicity, and Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS). After years of neurological, cardiac, and digestive dysfunction — including nearly two years bedbound — healing began through a root-cause functional medicine approach. Topics include: • Biological drivers of inflammation • Drainage pathway optimization • Parasite protocols •...

EPISODE 117 | On this episode of the Neurologic Wellness Podcast, Dr. David Traster sits down with Dr. Conner Bor of NeuroActive Spine and Rehab Center to explore neurodevelopmental disorders, Autism, ADHD, pediatric functional neurology and a proactive model for addressing developmental delays. Many children present with vestibular dysfunction, retained primitive reflexes (such as ATNR), speech delays, and impaired motor planning. Rather than adopting a “wait and see” approach, this model emphasizes early intervention through activation, nourishment, protection, and neurological...

In this episode, Dr. David Traster of The Neurologic Wellness Institute sits down with Mark Faulkner of CON-CRĒT Creatine to explore the expanding science of creatine — far beyond strength training. With a background in physics, biochemistry, forensic toxicology, and athletic drug testing, Faulkner shares how creatine hydrochloride (CrHCL) was discovered and how it differs from traditional creatine monohydrate in absorption, dosing, and neurological applications. We discuss: Creatine as the rate-limiting molecule for ATP production Brain energy metabolism and cognitive...

EPISODE 115 Can you train your brain in the gym? In this episode of the Neurologic Wellness Podcast, Dr. David Traster speaks with Aaron Delgrolice, founder of Hybrid Fitness Training, about integrating neuroscience into movement and fitness. Aaron explains his top-down nervous system approach, emphasizing that neurological systems fire before muscular tissue. By assessing and retesting visual, vestibular, proprioceptive, and cerebellar systems, he creates individualized programs that improve pain, mobility, balance, and performance. The conversation explores: • Brain-based movement training...

EPISODE 112 | Is chronic illness rooted in the body—or in how the brain and nervous system are communicating? In this episode of the Neurologic Wellness Podcast, Dr. Cathleen King of Primal Trust shares her deeply personal recovery journey and the neuroscience behind nervous system regulation, brain retraining, and identity-level healing. After years of Lyme disease, mold toxicity, autoimmune illness, and nervous system collapse, Dr. King discovered that her symptoms were driven by a protective brain stuck in survival mode. This realization led to the creation of...
info_outlineEpisode 105 | Neuromodulation Explained: The Future of Drug-Free Brain Therapy with SOZO Brain Center
In this episode of the Neurologic Wellness Podcast, host Dr. David Traster sits down with Matthew Papadopoulos, CEO of the Sozo Brain Center, one of the world’s leading authorities in non-invasive neuromodulation.
The Sozo Brain Center, based in Cyprus, is internationally recognized for delivering cutting-edge, drug-free brain stimulation therapies for complex neurological and mental health conditions. The word Sozo comes from ancient Greek, meaning “to save” — a mission reflected in their life-changing clinical outcomes.
In this conversation, we explore:
- What neuromodulation really is and how non-invasive brain stimulation works
- Why protocols matter more than devices
- How combining stimulation with targeted cognitive and motor tasks enhances neuroplasticity
- Conditions treated including dementia, Parkinson’s, autism, chronic pain, and mental health disorders
- EEG brain mapping, outcome tracking, and personalized treatment timelines
- Using TMS, TPS, tDCS, tACS, Vagal Nerve Stimulation, Tongue Electric Stimulation
- Training doctors globally to expand access to neuromodulation
Dr. Traster shares why he considers Sozo Brain Center one of the global gold standard in neuromodulation and how this technology is redefining neurological and mental health care worldwide.
Recovery is possible.
The brain can heal.
