Lillian McDermott, The Power to Change Your Brain’s Future
Lillian McDermott
For many years, I have watched my mother’s cognitive decline. Today, although her body is still strong, she can no longer care for herself. As difficult as this journey has been, my mother has also been one of my greatest teachers. Her dementia has made cognitive health one of my highest priorities outside of my relationship with God. I know many of you have watched a parent, spouse, or someone you love decline and wondered if this could happen to you, especially when you hear that genetics or DNA may increase your risk. But I don’t want you to live in fear of your future. I want to share...

Thomas Levy, MD, JD, Unknown Toxins That Make Us Sick!
Lillian McDermott
What if some of the toxins affecting our health aren't coming from the environment, our food, or the chemicals we encounter every day. What if they are being produced inside our own bodies? Thomas Levy, MD, JD, has been exploring the connection between chronic pathogen colonization, the toxins produced by microorganisms, and their potential role in disease. When pathogens persist in the body, could the toxins they produce contribute to inflammation, cellular damage, and chronic illness? Dr. Levy will share what he believes we need to know about these hidden toxins and why addressing the source...

Lillian McDermott, Swimming Upstream
Lillian McDermott
Have you ever wondered how often we simply go with the current? We follow what we’ve been taught, what everyone else is doing, and sometimes even what we know deep down isn’t right for us. But what happens when we decide to swim upstream? For me, it means becoming willing to ask questions, challenge assumptions, and take responsibility for the direction of my own life. It doesn’t mean I always have the answers. And it certainly doesn’t mean going against everything just for the sake of being different. It means being willing to investigate, learn, and follow the truth wherever it...

How to Starve Cancer Without Starving Yourself, Sean T. Devlin, DO, HMD
Lillian McDermott
Cancer metabolism is becoming an increasingly important part of the conversation around integrative oncology, nutrition, and whole-body health. We often hear that “sugar feeds cancer.” But the relationship between glucose, insulin, growth signals, metabolism, and cancer is far more complex than a simple food-versus-cancer equation. Sean T Devlin, DO, HMD, is a board-certified, fellowship-trained physician with nearly 25 years of experience in integrative oncology and functional medicine. He looks beyond the diagnosis to explore how nutrition, blood sugar regulation, fasting, exercise, and...

The Driving Force of Alzheimer’s & Brain Health – Ravi Kumar, MD
Lillian McDermott
As I get older, I mean bolder, I find myself asking more questions about what it really means to age well. Alzheimer’s disease and cognitive decline can be frightening. But I don’t want to simply accept them as an inevitable part of aging. I want to understand what may be driving these changes and, more importantly, what I can do about them. When I came across Ravi Kumar, MD, a board-certified neurosurgeon on his podcast The Dr. Kumar Discovery, I knew I wanted to learn with him. Dr. Kumar has been exploring the science behind brain health, including metabolic health, insulin resistance,...

Lillian McDermott, Aging Gratefully
Lillian McDermott
Lately, I’ve been thinking about what it really means to age gracefully. Getting older can bring changes we never expect. But it can also bring something incredibly valuable: wisdom, perspective, deeper relationships, and a greater appreciation for the gift of life. I’m learning that aging with grace requires gratitude. It doesn’t mean ignoring the challenges that come with getting older. It means choosing how I respond to them. It means letting go of regret, forgiving others and myself, continuing to grow, and appreciating where I am rather than constantly wishing I were somewhere else....

Healing Oils of The Bible, Prof. Gordon Pennington
Lillian McDermott
Throughout the Bible, we find references to oils used for anointing the sick, caring for wounds, and honoring God. How much do we really understand about these ancient healing traditions? Professor Gordon Pennington has dedicated years to researching the healing oils of the Bible and bringing ingredients such as frankincense, myrrh, and olive oil into a modern context. His work with biblical healing oils explores the historical, spiritual, and natural significance of these ancient ingredients. These include the biblical story of the Good Samaritan and the use of oil in caring for wounds....

Lillian McDermott, Fact Checking Your Thoughts
Lillian McDermott
Our minds are constantly generating thoughts. But not every thought deserves to be accepted as truth. Sometimes we react to assumptions, fears, old wounds, and stories we have created without ever stopping to ask whether they are actually true. I have learned that when we automatically believe every thought that enters our minds, we can become trapped in anxiety, self-doubt, anger, and unnecessary suffering. But when we pause and begin fact checking our thoughts, we create an opportunity to separate facts from fear and reality from the stories we tell ourselves. I will share how questioning...

Break Free from Living in Survival Mode, Patrick Porter, PhD
Lillian McDermott
Our brains are designed to protect us from danger. But when stress becomes constant, the survival response that once served us can begin to work against us. Many people find themselves stuck in patterns of anxiety, overwhelm, fatigue, poor sleep, and emotional reactivity without realizing that their nervous system may be operating as if a threat is always present. The founder of BrainTap, Patrick Porter, PhD, is a leader in neurofeedback, brain fitness, and stress reduction technologies. He has spent decades helping people understand how chronic stress impacts the brain and body. By learning...
info_outlineOur bodies often hold onto emotions long after the moment that created them has passed. Stress, grief, trauma, and even unspoken thoughts can become stored tension, quietly influencing how we feel, move, and respond to life. Recall Healing and Mindbody medicine expert Michelle LaMasa-Dawson, PhD, has recently discovered Human Garage, a new technique to move emotions beyond talk therapy. When emotions are allowed to surface and clear naturally, the nervous system can reset, creating space for clarity, balance, and renewed vitality. This approach invites us to listen to the wisdom of the body and experience healing not by force, but through permission and presence. Dr Michelle will share how Human Garage maneuvers can help the body release trapped emotions through gentle, intentional movement and awareness… The results are fascinating!
