Compromised to Alchemized Podcast

In this episode, I sit down with Lauren Sambataro—functional health practitioner, biohacker, and Broadway performer. We explore the intersection between the demanding world of musical theater and health optimization. Lauren shares how she bridges disparate environments, using mindset, functional lab testing, and intuition to build true physiological resilience. The conversation also covers the danger of female burnout, microdosing for behavioral change, finding one's "Personal Legend," and using mental perception to slow down and bend time.

In this solo episode, I recap recent travels, key connections in Encinitas, and the clinical power of working smarter, not harder with the human body. I dive deep into a recent System Reset Experience involving a returning male client who presented with recurring plantar fasciitis, forearm numbness, and underlying diastasis recti.

Discover how addressing single target points through Phase Shift and The Floor 4 protocol can trigger immediate brain-led reorganization across 70+ areas of the body—unlocking the floor of the mouth, shifting cranial structures, and restoring physical alignment without endless manual labor.

In this episode of the Compromised to Alchemized podcast, I had the absolute pleasure of sitting down with airway-centered dentist Dr. Laura Caylor. You might already recognize her—one of her reels showing a baby's intense suction force hit over 70 million views! We dive deep into her personal journey, the viral response to her posts, and the massive disconnect in how we currently evaluate and treat oral dysfunction and airway issues in infants and adults alike.

Dr. Laura Caylor is a general dentist and mother whose own family's health journey challenged much of what she thought she knew about health. As she searched for answers for her children—and eventually herself—she discovered the profound connections between oral function, breathing, sleep, facial development, and overall wellbeing. Today, her clinical practice focuses on airway health, tethered oral tissues, and craniofacial development, with an emphasis on collaborative, evidence-informed care. Her mission is to help both parents and healthcare professionals ask better questions, think beyond symptoms, and understand the bigger picture of health.

In this dynamic episode, I connect with Dr. Thomas Seager to explore the biophysics of nature-inspired healing. The conversation begins with a prelude featuring Dean Hall, who provides insight into Dr. Seager’s background, character, and warmth beyond his academic achievements. Dr. Seager and ! dive into the science of cold thermogenesis, examining how cold exposure impacts nervous system regulation and stimulates internal light production to synthesize vitamin D. We also explore the emerging science of green light therapy, ancestral wisdom around wood fires, the importance of trace minerals, and how to develop an independent mindset to make meaning out of life's symbols.

Thomas Seager, PhD is CEO of Morozko Forge ice bath company, which he co-founded in 2018. He is also Associate Professor in the School of Sustainable Engineering & the Built Environment at Arizona State University in Tempe, AZ and has authored two books:

• Uncommon Cold: The Science & Experience of Cold Plunge Therapy, and
• Uncommon Testosterone: Cold Plunge Therapy for Optimizing Sexual Health.

Packed with hundreds of scientific citations and documented case studies, these works are the definitive scientific companions to cold plunge therapy. Professor Seager has also published more than 150 scientific articles related to human & infrastructure resilience, industrial ecology, and the environment.

In this episode, I connect with pediatrician Dr. Erick Galindo Valdes MD for a deep conversation on connectivity, human presence, and the evolution of healthcare. Dr. Erick is an integrative pediatrician in Guadalajara, Mexico. Moving beyond conventional pharmacology and rigid mechanics, we explore how pediatric health is rooted in cellular communication, autonomic regulation, the vagus nerve, and the sacred dyad between mother and child.

From the ritual of a morning coffee pour-over to handling complex oral restrictions and infant development, this episode serves as a powerful reminder to slow down, honor nature, and reclaim time in our approach to healing.

In this episode of Compromised to Alchemized, I sit down in Indianapolis with Monica Purdy, SLP, COM, and owner of Kids Abilities. Recorded fresh off a two-day hands-on Floor Four training with the Kids Abilities team, we discuss the power of taking a holistic, "outside-the-box" approach to pediatric healthcare.

Monica shares her journey from considering physical therapy to finding her true calling in speech and myofunctional therapy. She opens up about her global teaching experiences with TalkTools, her core philosophy that "there are no limits, only possibilities," and how the nervous system, tone regulation, and body cohesion play critical roles in helping children reach their maximum potential.

About Monica Purdy

Monica Purdy is a speech-language pathologist, international speaker for TalkTools, and owner of Kids Abilities Indiana. She earned her Master of Arts in Speech-Language Pathology from Ball State University and is certified in orofacial myology through the International Association of Orofacial Myology (IAOM).

Monica brings her clinical experience and passion for pediatric communication to both her practice and her professional education work. Her areas of expertise include speech sound disorders, oral-motor development, and orofacial myofunctional therapy, with an emphasis on understanding the relationship between oral function, speech, and overall communication.

As an international speaker for TalkTools, Monica has the opportunity to educate and connect with professionals around the world, translating clinical knowledge into practical strategies clinicians can apply in their everyday work.

Welcome back to the Compromised to Alchemized podcast! In this episode I interview Dean Hall. We explore the intersection of trauma, natural healing, bioelectricity, and personal transformation. We first reflect on our shared experiences at the MASH facility in Minnesota with Harvey Martin and Thomas Seeger, diving into Dean’s extraordinary story of overcoming cancer twice through river swimming, the therapeutic power of nature, and the non-linear, spiral journey of human healing.

About Dean Hall

Dean Hall is a licensed therapist, Certified Radical Remission Health Coach, and has over 30 years and 50,000 hours of face-to-face experience in the mental health field. A two-time cancer survivor, world record-setting extreme endurance athlete, and no stranger to personal hardship, Dean has the life experience to stand behind his techniques and advice.

Dean firmly believes that reconnecting ourselves to nature has the power to change our lives for the better. He discovered this first-hand when, while swimming the entire length of the Willamette River, nature healed his leukemia.

Now, his mission in life is to lead and inspire others to discover the healing powers of nature for themselves to stop the heavy stressors and negative routines by guiding them back to happiness and health.

In this powerful episode of the Compromised to Alchemized podcast, Kelley—a myofunctional therapist, former dental professional, and army veteran— joins me for a candid, unfiltered discussion about systemic gaps in healthcare, female biology, and midlife transformation.

Kelley shares her personal journey from growing up in adversity and serving in the military to confronting chronic health issues, postpartum struggles, and late-in-life diagnoses (including hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, POTS, MCAS, ADHD, and autism). Together, we explore why standard airway and sleep research falls short for women, the crucial role of energetic alignment in healing, and how stepping into midlife offers the ultimate freedom to speak truth and reclaim space.

About Kelley Rubio

Kelley Rubio, RDH, QOM, CertBBM is the founder of My Myo My Health, an airway-focused therapy and wellness practice in Phoenix and Mesa, Arizona. A U.S. Army veteran, registered dental hygienist, and qualified orofacial myologist, Kelley specializes in myofunctional therapy, Buteyko breathing, and craniosacral fascial therapy to help clients breathe better, sleep better, and become their best selves. Living with Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome herself, she brings rare firsthand insight to her work with the hypermobility and EDS community — and is a passionate advocate for women receiving equal, fair, and humanized care in healthcare and the airway world.
