Episode 139 - Dr. Hemal Patel

The Science Behind Meditation and the Mind-Body Connection

What happens when rigorous science meets meditation, spirituality, and the mind-body connection?

In this episode of Bioenergetics Beat, host Heather Gray sits down with Dr. Hemal Patel, a scientist at UC San Diego, to explore the research behind The Source, the documentary created with Dr. Joe Dispenza. This conversation dives into the intersection of cutting-edge science, meditation, and human transformation.

Hemal shares his journey from traditional scientific research into studying meditation and the profound effects of immersive, week-long retreats. He also opens up about his personal path through spirituality, faith, and loss, and how those experiences shaped his openness to exploring the deeper connection between mind, body, and healing.

Together, Heather and Hemal unpack how these retreats are being studied using real, measurable data. From wearable technology and health surveys to blood markers, microbiome analysis, EEGs, and functional MRI scans, the research aims to quantify what many participants report: significant shifts in pain, fatigue, emotional well-being, and overall health.

One of the most compelling insights discussed is how participants often experience reduced pain and increased energy, findings that are supported by biological changes such as elevated endogenous opioids and measurable brain activity shifts. Hemal also explains why these experiences are not simply the result of rest or relaxation, but instead reflect a deeper, more intensive process that challenges both the mind and body.

This episode offers a powerful look at how meditation may influence biology, reshape the brain, and create lasting transformation, while also exploring the evolving relationship between science and spirituality.

Episode 138 - Nicole Bell

In this powerful episode of the Bioenergetics Beat Podcast, guest host Gail Edgell sits down with Nicole Bell, CEO of Galaxy Diagnostics, to discuss the growing crisis of Lyme disease, chronic illness, and the urgent need for more accurate testing for tick-borne infections.

Nicole shares her deeply personal story of watching her husband slowly decline with cognitive symptoms that were initially diagnosed as early-onset Alzheimer’s disease, only to later discover he was suffering from multiple tick-borne infections, including Lyme disease, Bartonella, and Babesia. Her family’s devastating experience led her to become an advocate for improved Lyme disease awareness, direct detection testing, and patient empowerment.

This conversation dives into the challenges of traditional Lyme testing, why many chronic illness patients are misdiagnosed for years, and how symptoms such as anxiety, depression, brain fog, fatigue, joint pain, inflammation, and neurological changes may be linked to underlying infections.

Nicole explains the limitations of standard antibody-based Lyme testing and how Galaxy Diagnostics is developing more advanced direct detection technology to identify active infections earlier and more accurately. The discussion also explores how chronic Lyme symptoms can overlap with mold toxicity, autoimmune conditions, chronic fatigue syndrome, menopause symptoms, and neuroinflammatory conditions.

Throughout the episode, listeners will learn:

Why Lyme disease is often missed or misdiagnosed

The difference between acute and chronic Lyme disease

How Bartonella and Babesia co-infections complicate treatment

Why some patients never develop accurate antibody responses

The importance of becoming your own health advocate

How stress, hormones, trauma, and environmental toxins may trigger symptom flare-ups

Why early detection is critical for recovery

The role of functional and integrative medicine practitioners in chronic illness care

How Galaxy Diagnostics’ urine antigen and blood testing differs from traditional Lyme tests

Nicole also discusses the emotional toll chronic illness takes on families and caregivers, emphasizing the importance of hope, education, and persistence when searching for answers.

If you or someone you love is struggling with unexplained symptoms, chronic inflammation, fatigue, cognitive decline, neurological symptoms, or suspected tick-borne illness, this episode offers an important perspective on modern Lyme disease research and patient advocacy.

Episode 137 - Dr Elisa Song

In this episode of Bioenergetics Beat, host Heather Gray sits down with Dr. Elisa Song, an integrative pediatrician who’s spent decades helping families address the root causes behind rising chronic health issues in children.

Dr. Song shares her journey from conventional medical training to a more holistic, microbiome-centered approach and explains why the first years of life are a critical window for building lifelong health. You’ll learn how the gut microbiome “trains” immune tolerance (and why that matters for eczema, asthma, and food allergies), how the gut-brain connection influences attention and anxiety, and why persistent symptoms in kids are often clues pointing back to the gut.

Dr. Song also outlines practical, family-friendly strategies for supporting a resilient microbiome, without fear, perfectionism, or overwhelm.

Key Topics Discussed:

1) Dr. Elisa Song’s Path to Integrative Pediatrics
How her background in policy and conventional medicine led her to a root-cause, prevention-focused approach to children’s health.

2) Why the Microbiome Matters
 The gut influences immunity, brain development, hormones, and inflammation, making it foundational to lifelong health.

3) Early Microbiome Disruption
Research links early antibiotic and antacid use to higher allergy risk, highlighting the importance of gut restoration.

4) The Gut-Brain Connection
Gut health impacts anxiety, sleep, mood, and behavior, largely through vagus nerve communication.

5) Signs of Dysbiosis in Kids
Imbalances may show up as allergies, skin issues, mood or behavior challenges, hormonal symptoms, or frequent illness, not just digestive problems.

Microbiome “Champions” for Kids (Practical Takeaways):

Dr. Song introduces simple daily building blocks for a resilient gut ecosystem:

The “3 F’s”

• Fiber (helps feed beneficial microbes)
• Phytonutrients (colorful plant compounds that support gut and immune function)
• Fermented foods (support microbial diversity and gut ecosystem balance)

Weekly Diversity Goal

Aim for a wide variety of plant foods over the week (including herbs and spices) to support microbial diversity.

Parent-friendly tip: Variety doesn’t have to be complicated; small additions like herbs, spices, and rotating produce can add up quickly.

Episode 136 - Terri McCormick, David Butler, and Kurt Borowsky

Being Misdiagnosed: Lyme Disease, Chronic Illness, and the Search for Answers with Terri McCormick, David Butler and Kurt Borowsky

In this moving episode of Bioenergetics Beat, host Miriam Cloutier welcomes Terri McCormick, author of Being Misdiagnosed, along with Lyme disease advocates David Butler and Kurt Borowsky.

Together, they share powerful personal stories of chronic illness, medical misdiagnosis, and the resilience required to keep searching for answers when symptoms are dismissed or misunderstood.

Episode Highlights

The Story Behind Being Misdiagnosed

After years of watching her children struggle with undiagnosed Lyme disease, Terri McCormick became an advocate for patients facing complex chronic illnesses. Her book combines personal stories and scientific research to highlight how Lyme disease is frequently overlooked or mistaken for other serious conditions.

David Butler's Lyme Disease Journey

David shares his decades-long battle with symptoms that were repeatedly misdiagnosed as mental health disorders, autoimmune conditions, Parkinsonian syndrome, and even ALS before receiving a Lyme disease diagnosis. Today, he dedicates his time to supporting others through education, advocacy, and community outreach.

Kurt Borowsky's Path to Recovery

Kurt discusses years of declining health, neurological symptoms, and life-changing challenges before a Lyme-literate practitioner finally identified Lyme disease and co-infections as the root cause. His story is a testament to perseverance, healing, and helping others find hope.

Lyme Disease: The Great Imitator

The conversation explores why Lyme disease is known as "The Great Imitator." Symptoms can resemble conditions such as: ALS, Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's disease, Multiple sclerosis (MS), Anxiety and depression, Autoimmune disorders and Chronic fatigue syndrome.

Because symptoms vary significantly from person to person, many patients spend years searching for answers.

The Emotional Impact of Chronic Illness

The guests discuss the realities of living with chronic illness, including: medical gaslighting, mental health challenges, isolation and loss of identity, family and relationship struggles and the importance of support and community

Their stories offer validation for anyone who has ever felt dismissed, unheard, or alone in their health journey.

Finding Hope Through Community

A recurring message throughout the episode is the importance of seeking support, utilizing available resources, and connecting with others who understand the challenges of chronic illness and Lyme disease. As David emphasizes, healing often begins when patients stop facing their struggles alone.

Episode 132: Dr Izzy Justice

Brain Frequency Explained: From Stress to Calm and Focus

“Chasing 10 Hz” for Calm, Focus, and Peak Performance

What if the key to confidence, creativity, presence, and emotional regulation wasn’t “raising your vibration” but lowering your brain’s frequency?

In this episode of Bioenergetics Beat, host Heather Gray, sits down with Dr. Izzy Justice to explore a practical neuroscience-based framework for improving mental wellness in real time. Dr. Justice shares how his personal journey through trauma and his work with functional brain scans led him to one core insight: many of our highest human abilities and experiences are optimized around ~10 Hz.

You’ll learn why “being present” is actually about amplifying sensory input, how your brain’s “inventory” of memories and skills becomes easier to access when you’re calmer, and two simple neurohacks you can do anywhere - no tools required.

In This Episode, You’ll Learn:

A new understanding of the brain: Real-time insights have shifted focus from fixing problems to optimizing performance.

Brain frequency matters: Lower frequencies support calm and focus, while higher ones drive stress and overwhelm.

The 10 Hz state: Confidence, creativity, and presence often happen when the brain slows down.

Presence = sensory awareness: A calm brain lets you fully experience the moment.

Confidence is access: Lower stress helps you tap into helpful memories and skills.

Focus on key moments: You don’t need to feel perfect all day, just regulate your brain when it matters most.

Two Quick Neurohacks to Calm Your Brain Fast:

1) The “10–10” Neurohack (fast up, slow down)

In your mind, count 1 to 10 as fast as you can

Then count 10 back down to 1 as slowly as you can

Many people notice the first half feels activating/anxious, while the slow countdown feels calming and spacious.

2) The “Mountain Hand” Neurohack (fast climbs, slow climbs)

Hold your hands together.

Imagine your left hand is a mountain and the fingers of your right hand are climbing.

Do 3 quick climbs, then 3 very slow climbs, noticing sensation, detail, and touch.

This one can rapidly increase focus and sensory awareness, helpful for work, tests, stage performance, and stressful moments.

About Dr. Izzy Justice

Dr. Izzy Justice is a neuroscience-focused thinker and practitioner who has worked with a wide range of individuals, including professional athletes and performers, to study what the brain is doing right before peak performance and what changes when we struggle.

Episode 131: Beverly Jensen
Wearable Devices, EMFs & Protecting Your Nervous System 

Wearable tech is everywhere - smartwatches, Fitbits, Bluetooth earbuds, and always-on phones. But what happens when “health tech” adds more electromagnetic exposure to an already overloaded nervous system?

In this episode of Bioenergetics Beat, host Heather Gray sits down with Beverly Jensen, PhD to discuss EMFs (electromagnetic fields), wireless radiation, and why not all wearable devices are created equally. Beverly shares her personal wake-up call with EMF sensitivity, practical steps to reduce exposure at home, and why she’s especially focused on protecting children and developing brains.

Episode Highlights:

Beverly’s backstory: tech, natural healing, and an early warning
Raised in a family rooted in natural healing, Beverly learned early from her father, who worked in satellite communications, that devices sending and receiving signals should be used with caution and distance, a lesson that later became deeply personal.

EMF sensitivity: the “aha” moment
After prolonged exposure to a Wi-Fi router and later intense symptoms near cell towers, Beverly connected her physical reactions - like burning, itching, and skin irritation, to EMF exposure.

Why EMFs matter: “We are electrical beings”
Beverly emphasizes that because the body relies on electrical signals, man-made EMFs may disrupt these systems, with children being especially vulnerable due to their developing brains and thinner skulls.

Practical EMF Reduction Tips:

Shield your Wi-Fi router: Wrap your router in aluminum screen material and move it out of high-traffic areas to significantly reduce EMF exposure while maintaining functionality.

Use airplane mode strategically: Keep your phone on airplane mode whenever possible, especially at home, to dramatically lower daily radiation exposure.

Turn off Wi-Fi at night: Create a sleep sanctuary by shutting off Wi-Fi, keeping devices out of the bedroom, and avoiding charging electronics near your bed.

Hardwire what you can: Replace wireless connections with Ethernet cables wherever possible to reduce constant EMF exposure, especially from Bluetooth.

Create a “device zone”: Designate a specific area in your home for phone use and storage to limit unnecessary exposure throughout your living space.

Episode 130: Katrina Foe

Mold, Metabolic Health & Root-Cause Cancer Prevention

What if you could reduce cancer risk by looking upstream, beyond genes and “bad luck” to the environmental and metabolic triggers that quietly set the stage? In this episode of Bioenergetic Beats, host Heather Gray sits down with Katrina Foe, founder of Cancer Freedom, to unpack a root-cause approach to cancer that focuses on what most people don’t test for, especially toxic mold exposure, blood sugar dysregulation, and the hidden stressors that can tip the body into disease.

Katrina shares her personal story of being diagnosed with breast cancer while nursing her fifth baby, despite living what she believed was an exceptionally “clean” lifestyle and explains why “doing all the healthy things” isn’t always enough when the biggest drivers are invisible.

In This Episode, You’ll Learn:

Why “healthy” isn’t always enough

Even with clean living, hidden factors you haven’t tested, like toxins or metabolic issues, can still drive disease.

The mold–cancer connection

Mold is a known carcinogen and often goes undetected in modern homes. It’s one of the most overlooked root causes in cancer cases.

You may have no mold symptoms

Many people with mold exposure feel “fine,” making it easy to miss without proper testing.

Cancer is a stacking effect

Key contributors can include insulin resistance, gut issues, hormone imbalance, low vitamin D, genetic detox challenges, and mold exposure.

Why detox alone isn’t enough

You can’t detox if you’re still being exposed, your environment must be addressed first.

Mold testing mistakes to avoid

Don’t rely on one inspection, and never use the same company for testing and remediation.

3 proactive steps to support cancer prevention:

Katrina offers practical, foundational habits that support resilience and reduce risk:

Drink truly clean water (tested and properly filtered, not just basic pitcher filter)

Avoid processed seed/vegetable oils (especially dressings and mayo)

Lower excess carbs and stabilize blood sugar, since cancer and chronic disease are strongly tied to metabolic dysfunction

Episode 129: Jodi Scott

Heather Gray sits down with Jodi Scott, co-founder of Green Goo, to talk about plant-based first aid, clean topical ingredients, and the science-backed relationship between stress, inflammation, and skin health. Jodi explains her background in health psychology and psychoneuroimmunology (PNI), the intersection of psychology, the nervous system, and immune function and how it shaped Green Goo’s approach to topical care.

You’ll learn why many “natural living” households still keep chemical-heavy products in their first-aid cabinets, how Green Goo formulates products from whole plants (rather than pre-made extracts), and how a simple self-care ritual like “Sanctuary Sunday” can help you become more present and supportive of your body. Jodi also highlights popular Green Goo formulas used for cuts, scrapes, bug bites, sunburn, chafing, dry skin, eczema, psoriasis, and more, plus why hydration and barrier support are foundational to “high-performance” skin.

Key Topics Covered

What psychoneuroimmunology is and why it matters for wellness

The connection between stress response (fight-or-flight) and skin sensitivity

Why “clean living” often stops at the first-aid cabinet and how to change that

The concept of nutritional skincare: “feeding” your skin like you feed your body

How ingredient “subtraction” (removing irritants) can be a powerful first step

Why Green Goo is formulated as a multi-herb synergy, not a single-ingredient fix

A breakdown of Green Goo’s most-loved products and how people use them

What Is Green Goo?

Green Goo creates plant-based first aid and personal care products designed to be effective first, while also being clean and sustainable. Jodi shares that the brand name “Green Goo” stuck because customers remembered it, and because many formulas naturally have a green hue from real plant properties.

A key differentiator: Green Goo emphasizes in-house extraction and formulation, bringing plants into their own facility to preserve potency and integrity in their custom herbal oils.

About the Guest: Jodi Scott

Jodi Scott has a master’s in Health Psychology with a specialty in Psychoneuroimmunology and a background in teaching resident physicians to approach wellness through a whole-person lens. She co-founded Green Goo to make first aid cleaner, simpler, and more effective, without the chemical overload many people accept as “normal.”
