Dr. Neil Nedley, MD, Weimar University President and Medical Director of the Optimize Your Brain™ and Nedley Depression and Anxiety Recovery Programs™, opens this week’s episode by showing how nutrition and lifestyle therapies can outperform traditional pharmaceuticals in boosting physical and mental health. He warns that high‑protein diets—especially keto and paleo—can quietly harm kidney function and mental well‑being, while a balanced, lower‑protein plant‑based diet enhances both body and brain. In segments two and three, Weimar Academy Principal Adam Schilt highlights how emotional intelligence training and hands-on work, particularly gardening, can improve behavior, focus, and academic success—even for neurodivergent learners. The final segment features Oklahoma Academy’s Cliff Brooks, who presents their mission aviation program, where students earn pilot certification (without extra tuition) while developing skills to better serve others.
