He tells the real origin story of biohacking, rooted in serious illness and survival, not performance or optimization culture. We talk about how toxins, stress, and...

π Feeling like your symptoms don't add up? π Take the Root Cause Assessment: π What if the rising wave of eczema, anxiety, ADHD, and behavioral challenges in kids is pointing us toward a deeper system that has been disrupted early on? And what if that same system also holds the key to resilience? In this episode, I sit down with holistic pediatrician Dr. Elisa Song to talk about why more than half of kids today are living with at least one chronic condition and how the gut microbiome plays a central role in immune function, brain health, mood, metabolism, and behavior. We...

π Feeling like your symptoms don't add up? π Take the Root Cause Assessment: π Your body is brilliant, but it cannot thrive in an environment that is quietly breaking it down. Mold exposure is one of the most overlooked root causes behind chronic illness, accelerated aging, autoimmune disease, and nervous system dysfunction. Many people are doing everything right, eating clean, exercising, prioritizing sleep, yet still feel exhausted, inflamed, foggy, or emotionally off. When symptoms donβt make sense and doctors say everything looks normal, mold is often the missing piece....

π Feeling like your symptoms don't add up? π Take the Root Cause Assessment: π There are moments when life hands you a topic so heavy that most people avoid it entirely, and yet itβs part of our everyday reality. Cancer is one of those topics. I wanted to bring warmth and clarity into this conversation, just like I try to do with mold, parasites, and toxins, because these things are fixable when we understand what the body is trying to say.

π Feeling like your symptoms don't add up? π Take the Root Cause Assessment: π So many of us walk around carrying symptoms weβve tried to explain away. The headaches, the screen intolerance, the brain fog, the frustration that hits when the simplest tasks feel harder than they should. I see this often in our practice, and Iβve lived parts of it myself. What most people never realize is how often an old head injury is still directing the show. Your body is brilliant. It remembers everything, including the moments when your brain had to work overtime just to make sense of...

So many of us walk around carrying symptoms weβve tried to explain away. The headaches, the screen intolerance, the brain fog, the frustration that hits when the simplest tasks feel harder than they should. I see this often in our practice, and Iβve lived parts of it myself. What most people never realize is how often an old head injury is still directing the show. Your body is brilliant. It remembers everything, including the moments when your brain had to work overtime just to make sense of what your eyes were taking in.
Talking with Dr. Bryce Appelbaum brought so much clarity to this. He explains how vision is really brain function and why concussions always affect the visual system, even when eyesight looks normal. We get into the neuroinflammation piece, the overwhelm that builds when the eye brain connection is stressed, and the ways we learn to compensate without ever knowing we are doing it. I share parts of my own journey too, including the visual challenges I masked for years by sheer force of will.
This conversation brings a lot of hope. Once you understand why your system has been struggling, you can finally see the path forward. Your body remembers how to heal. Letβs unpack this together.
Key Takeaways
Vision Lives in the Brain β Vision reflects how the brain processes information.

Concussions Often Go Missed β Even mild head impacts disrupt visual brain function.
Compensation Drains Energy β Overworked vision strains mood, digestion, and resilience.
