313: Binging Sober with Colleen Ryan-Hensley
Welcome to another episode of the Dr. Lo Radio Show! Colleen Ryan-Hensley is a Navy Veteran and has launched #bingingSober – a practice she’s used to manage mental health challenges for two decades. Binging Sober focuses on the value of taking time away from intoxication via mind-numbing, unhealthy escapism in all of its forms - including alcohol, social media, processed food, and more - rather than permanently abstaining from any single habit. Colleen has a background in Performance Psychology, and has spent over fifteen years reinventing “mental toughness”. In this episode, Colleen shares her story of trauma and some of the methods and systems she’s used to “peel her layers” in order to get to the root of her pain. She describes how she had habits of deflecting from even using certain language to define her trauma, and how she was able to finally come to terms with accepting what it was by using her “Binging Sober” method.

311: Retraining the Brain’s Trauma Response with Annie Hopper

311: Retraining the Brain’s Trauma Response with Annie Hopper
Welcome to another episode of the Dr. Lo Radio Show! In this episode, Annie Hopper describes how she was able to rehabilitate her brain, which ultimately led to her full recovery, after years of dealing with “unexplained” illnesses. Her desire to help others who were suffering, ultimately resulted in her creation of the DNRS Program. The Dynamic Neural Retraining System, or DNRS, has helped thousands of people “retrain the brain” to regulate a maladapted stress response. This has created a space for healing and recovery for patients who once suffered from “mysterious” chronic symptoms and syndromes. In this episode, Annie shares her personal story on how trauma manifested in her life and how she was able to “reverse” its impact later in life. Annie was once debilitated by her illnesses and sensitivities. She started to wonder if some of the symptoms or challenges she was experiencing were caused by some sort of protective mechanism, deep within her limbic system. Could an accumulation of chemical, physical, and emotional trauma create a disorganization of neural circuits in the limbic system, keeping her body in a sort of “flight” state that constantly kept her body in a cycle of chronic illness? And if so, what could be done? The brain is like a computer, or a road map, and it can be rewired with the right attention and work. Rewiring the brain can help lessen or even eliminate automatic stress responses. Annie describes what she calls “The Five Pillars of Recovery” and how this program is utilized with people suffering from stress response-related ailments. I’d love your feedback on this episode, so please leave a review on the podcast or continue the conversation on my Instagram @dr_lo I hope you learned something new today! 01:40 Intro to the DNRS Program (Dynamic Neural Retraining System) 07:55 Annie’s “perfect storm” for limbic system impairment 13:15 The Limbic System and Annie’s research 18:30 Fight, Flight or Freeze and how a “reset” can lessen these stress responses. 20:09 How Annie’s recovery began, and her mission to help others 20:59 The Limbic System and threat-response 22:39 The Five Pillars of Recovery, explained 26:04 Changing the brain’s perception of external “triggers” 27:27 An example of Incremental Training; choosing a different way to act on thoughts 31:09 Brain chemistry; stress hormones vs D.O.S.E. chemicals 38:51 The “Share a Laugh” Class 39:30 Other courses available 42:19 Study done with patients who suffered from long-COVID, and hyperreactivity to environmental toxins and fatigue 46:12 How to get started with the DNRS program 47:53 Counteracting the Negativity Bias Link: Book: If you enjoyed this episode, please leave a 5-star review wherever you listen to your podcasts!

310: CIRS - The Mystery Illness with Dr. Eric Dorninger
Welcome to another episode of the Dr. Lo Radio Show! Today I am chatting with Dr. Eric Dorninger of Roots and Branches about CIRS (Chronic Inflammatory Response Syndrome). With symptoms such as fatigue, disorientation, eyesight disorders, bowel irregularity and much more, this condition often goes misdiagnosed. Dr. Dorninger ND, LAc is a Registered Naturopathic Doctor and Licensed Acupuncturist. Prior to medical school, he received his B.A. in Kinesiology from the University of Colorado. During this time he also finished his E.M.T. (Emergency Medical Technician) training and volunteered at Porter Care Hospice in Denver. Following undergrad, Dr. Dorninger completed his doctorate in naturopathic medicine and his master’s degree in acupuncture at Bastyr University, after which he returned to Boulder, Colorado to complete a 2-year residency in naturopathic primary care. In 2005, Dr. Dorninger founded Roots and Branches Integrative Health Care, a clinic dedicated to “Mystery Illness” where he focuses on elucidating the underlying causes of unrelenting chronic illness. Dr. Dorninger is not concerned with what you have as much as he is with why you have it. He has dedicated his professional life to a deeper understanding of differential diagnosis based in the tradition of “Remove Obstacles to Cure.” In this episode, Dr. Dorninger also goes into depth about biotoxin exposure, explaining how many standard environmental tests aren’t detailed enough to detect the biotoxins that may be responsible for CIRS. He also talks about water-damaged buildings and how many inspectors can miss these markers. If you are listening to this episode and you or someone you know has been diagnosed with a condition, but still suffers symptoms, this is the episode for you! Many doctors and clinicians have not had the education or experience to properly diagnose CIRS, so it’s often overlooked. I’d love your feedback on this episode, so please leave a review on the podcast or continue the conversation on my Instagram @dr_lo I hope you learn something new today! In this episode: 2:22 Guest Intro 6:20 Understanding underlying issues 20:22 “CIRS is the number one cause of mystery illnesses” 22:30 Screening for CIRS; VCS (Visual Contrast Sensitivity) 24:05 Explaining biotoxin exposure 26:00 Environmental tests for toxins in water-damaged buildings 33:30 Epstein-Barr Virus 42:18 Removing biotoxins that trigger immuno-reactivity 43:02 Can anything other than biotoxins cause CIRS? 44:01 Cyanobacteria and its relation to ALS 46:18 Other symptoms associated with CIRS 54:00 Summary of explained content Mentioned Links: If you enjoyed this episode, please leave a 5-star review wherever you listen to your podcasts!
