Allen Lewis, MD is the founder of Sancta Familia Center for Integrative Medicine. He is recognized as a leading physician in his field focused on helping patients achieve optimal wellness utilizing integrative and functional medicine to restore health to the mind, body, and spirit.

He specializes in treating children and adults with learning, mood, developmental, behavioral, and immune disorders, including autism spectrum disorder, ADHD, PANS/PANDAS and Lyme Disease. In addition, he treats patients with stress and anxiety disorders and gastrointestinal issues.

His medical career was directed down a different path when his child was diagnosed with autism at age two. Without a functional framework in traditional medicine for treatment of his child's autism and associated medical problems, Dr. Lewis began to explore integrative, holistic, and functional medicine therapies. Dietary intervention, targeted nutrient supplementation, and approaching treatment with a more integrative/functional framework proved to be effective in helping his child, as well as many of his patients. In response to seeing such profound effects with these treatments, Dr. Lewis continued to explore other integrative medicine modalities and was certified by the American Board of Integrative Holistic Medicine. He serves on the Scientific Advisory Board of Advanced Brain Technologies and incorporates The Listening Program® in his practice as one of his therapeutic modalities.

Listen to this inspiring episode as Alex and Allen share a deeply personal conversation, that will provide hope and guidance to families impacted by the wide range of medical conditions he treats in his practice. Together they discuss family, functional integrative medicine, stress, autism, patient stories, and how to heal the brain.

Renowned neurologist and author of the New York Times #1 Best Selling Grain Brain, David Perlmutter, MD, returns to the Advanced Brain Podcast and uncovers the powerful role of gut bacteria in determining your brain's destiny. Debilitating brain disorders are on the rise - from children diagnosed with autism and ADHD to adults developing dementia at younger ages than ever before. But a medical revolution is underway that can solve this problem. Brain Maker opens the door to unprecedented brain health potential.

Astonishing new research is revealing that the health of your brain is, to an extraordinary degree, dictated by the state of your microbiome – the vast population of organisms that live in your body and outnumber your own cells ten to one. What's taking place in your intestines today is determining your risk for any number of brain-related conditions.

In his bestselling book Brain Maker, Dr. Perlmutter uncovers the powerful role of gut bacteria in determining your brain's destiny. He explains the potent interplay between intestinal microbes and the brain, describing how the microbiome develops from birth and evolves based on lifestyle choices, how it can become "sick," and how nurturing gut health through a few easy strategies can alter your brain's destiny for the better. With simple dietary recommendations and a highly practical program of six steps to improving gut ecology, Brain Maker opens the door to unprecedented brain health potential.

Join host Alex Doman and his featured guest David Perlmutter as he returns to the Advanced Brain Podcast to discuss Brain Maker, brain disorders, and how to open the door to brain health.

A former Fulbright Scholar Dr Greenstein is on the faculty at ArtCenter College Design, consulting faculty at SCI-Arc, and founder and principal at MaMax Studio

Some call it cognitive mapping. Some call it spatial memory. Whatever you call it, be sure to recognize and practice the strategic use of your hippocampal networks for dynamic, whole brain attention, memory and growth!

Drawing on decades of research and teaching of applied neuroscience and spatial mapping practices to artists and designers, Dr. Greenstein shares her insights on training spatial awareness, emotions and memory and the "What, How, When and Where" value distinctions between using stimulus reward and strategic mapping practices for gaming.

In this episode, Alex Doman his guest, an expert in applied neuroscience and "knowledge transfer" Dr. M. A. Greenstein will explore 3 big ideas impacting your brain health and ed/psych practices:

• Cognitive Mapping and Landmarking is the best kept secret for promoting good brain health practice through your lifetime
• Active Observation and Mindful Attention are key for promoting Cognitive Mapping and Landmarking
• Cognitive Mapping and Landmarking are encoded, stored and used again by visual and spatial strategies found in performing arts training as well as online gaming

Jay R. Lucker is a Professor in the Dept. of Communication Sciences and Disorders at Howard University in Washington, DC. He is also a visiting professor in the Dept. of Special Education at George Washington University and the Dept. of Languages and Communication Disorders at the University of the District of Columbia. In addition, he serves on the Scientific Advisory Board for Advanced Brain Technologies.

He is recognized as one of the world's leading authorities on auditory processing disorder, a widely recognized brain impairment in children and adults, that impacts their ability to understand what they hear.

An audiologist, speech language pathologist, and research scientist "Dr. J" who has been involved with research, clinical work, assessments, and treatments for people with APD since the mid-1970s. He is author of many articles published in professional journals, book chapters, and co-author of a book on APD titled Don't You Get It? Living with Auditory Learning Disabilities.

Common signs of auditory processing disorder include:

• Difficulty following directions
• Frequent requests to repeat information
• Trouble distinguishing between similar-sounding words
• Lack of focus, especially in noisy surroundings
• Impaired memory for nursery rhymes or song lyrics
• Struggling with reading, spelling, speaking, or rhyming
• Mixing up the order of sounds in words or numbers in a sequence
• Inability to follow conversations
• Trouble expressing thoughts and feelings clearly

In this episode Alex and Dr. J., long time colleagues and co-authors on several peer reviewed journal articles on auditory hypersensitivity and treatment explore auditory processing disorders; what happens when the brain doesn't understand what it hears, and what to do about it. Listen and learn:

• How to differentiate auditory processing, a language disorder, and ADHD
• How APD should be assessed
• Categories of APD and general treatment recommendations

Seth Horowitz, PhD., neuroscientist and author of The Universal Sense: How Hearing Shapes the Mind, sits down with Alex to discuss how we are all embedded in an unending ocean of sound, a rich stream of information that can be important, trivial, distracting or even dangerous. 350 million years of evolution has led us to develop an intimate relationship with sound that lets our brains sense, perceive and decide in which of categories a sound falls, all in less than a tenth of the time it takes us to see something. This is why hearing underlies some of the most complex cognitive and behavioral processes that we do, and why it provides a powerful, yet frequently ignored, tool for changing those processes.

In this episode listen and discover:

• In evolutionary terms, hearing is a universal sense – there are no normally deaf vertebrates. It is highly adaptive to hear because sound lets you usefully detect what is going on at great distances even out of line of sight.
• Hearing is a mechanical sense – it has the fewest processes between the sensation and the perception.
• Hearing is the fastest sense; understanding it gives you a sense of the math behind the mind.
• How working with sound lets us act on with specific elements and processes of the brain and mind, much more so than any other sense.
