  • 121 Homeopathy Insights For Trauma – Adalian
    Homeopathy Provides Insights & Direct Assistance For Trauma
    Elizabeth Adalian – is an internationally recognized practitioner of homeopathy from the UK with a particular interest in using specific homeopathic remedies to free the mind by work through certain kinds of past and present trauma. This different viewpoint adds opportunities for additional non-medical support and treatment considerations.
    Working as a homeopath after the war in former Yugoslavia, Elizabeth determined that it’s not so much what happens in life – however drastic that may be – but what pre-exists within that experience from the tender years of childhood when so much damage occurs. She explains here at this CBJ/121 interview how one’s past informs our reactions to ongoing challenges in life and dictates the continuing status of our health.
    Ed. Note: On Homeopathy
    Her unusual homeopathic perspectives contribute a new, additional dimension to insightful reports from an evolved assemblage of neurodiversity experts here at CBJ. Noteworthy: she sounds almost psychoanalytic in orientation,  yet on the other hand uses treatment options beyond psychiatric medications with considerable success. Our mission here at CBJ: Informed options to democratize neuroscience options for an informed public globally.
    Yes, this system of homeopathic intervention may at first challenge set beliefs, and appear controversial, but nevertheless, it matches with our mission criteria here at CBJ: Informed options to democratize neuroscience options for an informed public globally. Group-think and label-beliefs encourage more regressive and limited System 1, binary thinking.
    Her Homeopathy | Trauma Practice Beyond London
    Elizabeth is the author of recently released book – Touching Base with Trauma. Reaching Across the Generations: A Three-Dimensional Homeopathic Perspective based on her work as a homeopath in former war zones. While practicing homeopathy for over 30 years, she also worked in 10 different countries as well as her main practice base in London. During these years she also taught specifics on trauma treatment strategies in many of these countries as well as in the UK. Listen as she documents her activities in the Middle East following invitations based upon her previously successful treatment activities.

  • 120 Yoga, Science and Mind – Perlmutter
    Yoga – A Bridge For The Mind & Body
    We see what we know.
    ~ Leonard Perlmutter
    Leonard Perlmutter is one of the Western world’s leading pioneers in the introduction of yoga and meditation into the cultural firmament, having founded the American Meditation Institute (AMI) in 1996.
    AMI’s yoga and meditation courses are now approved and accredited by the American Medical Association and the American Nurses Association for continuing education credits. Perlmutter is considered one of West’s foremost guides to understanding the nature of consciousness, now offers a heralded book, The Heart and Science of Yoga, – an encyclopedic guide to meditation and the Yoga Science that lies behind it.
    Solid Mind Evidence
    Today, the medical evidence is everywhere that Yoga and meditation improve health, mental acuity, emotional balance and spiritual connection.
    Praised by such international medical luminaries as Drs. Dean Ornish, Mehmet Oz, Bernie Siegel and Larry Dossey, Leonard provides actionable insight for why and how yoga practice heals. The Heart and Science of Yoga show us the way to meld meditation and yoga into your working life experience to bring a new level of peace, contentment, and well-being.
    Yoga: An Ancient Practice
    While most North Americans today perceive Yoga as a valuable source of exercise and quieting of the mind Leonard shows us that yoga practice is much more.
    As it evolved through ancient wisdom, Yoga Science is an eight-step method for managing the life force energy that propels us and connects us to the infinite power that is within and without us all. And the result of mastering it is the bliss and daily joy that lies in the realization of our connection.
    You will relax just listening to Leonard talk about his practice, his larger mission, and his experience with Swami Rama in India.  
    Yoga Teaching Experience
    Meditation master Leonard Perlmutter (Ram Lev) has taught on the faculties of the New England Institute of Ayurvedic Medicine, the Himalayan Yoga Teachers Association and the College of Saint Rose. He is a disciple of holistic health pioneer Swami Rama of the Himalayas, the Yoga scientist who, in laboratory conditions at the Menninger Institute, demonstrated that he could voluntarily control blood pressure, heart rate, and the autonomic nervous system. Leonard has presented courses at the M.D. Anderson Cancer Center, the Albany Medical College, the Commonwealth Club of California, The New York Times Yoga Forum with Dean Ornish, MD, and with the United States Military Academy at West Point.

  • 119 Achievement Beyond Negative Mind – Friesen
    Achievement: Overcoming Impediments To Change Your Life
    Chris Friesen, Ph.D., C.Psych., originally from Toronto, Ontario, Canada, and now located in the Niagara Region. Dr. Friesen is a psychologist repeatedly fascinated by what variables help people reach achievement goals to successfully reach their deepest objectives. He is a licensed clinical, forensic, and neuropsychologist, and now primarily helps professional, national/Olympic, and up-and-coming elite athletes, as well as other high achievers – such as practitioners, entrepreneurs, executives, academics, and writers – achieve their personal and professional potential.
    Currently, he also serves as director of Friesen Sport & Performance Psychology and a contributor to Success.com. He is the author of Achieve: Find Out Who You Are, What You Really Want, and How To Make It Happen. and brings abundant ideas on how to hit your most valued objectives.
    Personal Achievement Notes
    “I am now in the high average range with regard to the personality dimension of Negative Emotions (aka Neuroticism). When I was a child and teenager my standing on this trait was higher. During early adolescence, I was anxious and had low self-efficacy, especially with regard to schooling. I was on the verge of flunking out.
    Fortunately, I discovered competitive sports (primarily hockey, serving as a goalie) which served as my focus and revival activities. I also discovered self-help books (e.g., Scott Peck, Tony Robbins, and Stephen Covey) and biographies (e.g., of Arthur Ashe and Christopher Reeves). I realized that a career as a professional hockey player was not in the cards for me and belatedly discovered I could apply the achievement lessons I learned to excel in hockey in addition to what I learned from reading self-help books and biographies, directly into my study activities.
    I turned things around and went from the worst student in my junior high and early high school days to obtaining the highest GPA of all psychology majors when I graduated with my psychology undergraduate degree.”

    Neuropsychology – Improved Brain Testing Details
    Dr. Michelle Braun is a Yale and Harvard-trained board-certified neuropsychologist and brain health expert from Milwaukee, Wisconsin. So many found her first interview here at CBJ/107 on Brain Health & Alzheimer’s helpful we asked her back to address differences in psychological testing regarding the specifics of evolved Neuropsychology. Here she details how neuropsychological testing offers additional benefits for improved brain and biomedical diagnosis. Revised targets provide more treatment accuracy.
    Two words describe Dr. Braun’s interviews here at CBJ: Credibility and Authenticity. Listen up.
    She is passionate about defining clear brain and mind objectives and appears on PBS, Fox TV, radio, and in various print media. Dr. Braun previously served as the Assistant Director of Inpatient Mental Health at the Boston VA Hospital and Instructor of Psychiatry at Harvard Medical School.
    Dr. Braun’s Neuropsychology & Brain Health Activities
    Dr. Braun is passionate about empowering individuals to boost brain health and reduce the risk of Alzheimer’s through the use of science-backed, motivational strategies. Her mission was sparked as a teenager when she witnessed the many challenges faced by older adults with memory problems.
    Inspired to improve the brain health,  with improved care and quality of life for those with memory problems, she pursued a career as a neuropsychologist specializing in memory and cognition, geriatric psychology, motivational enhancement, and brain health.
    Her Neuropsychological Experience: Exemplary
    Dr. Braun has work to promote brain health for ten years as a clinical neuropsychologist in departments of Neurology, Neurosurgery, Neuropsychology, and Psychiatry in the some of the best hospitals with talented medical training faculties. She serves on the Board of Directors of the American Academy of Clinical Neuropsychology, where she chairs the Practice and Public Policy Committee.

  • 117 Nutrition Details Prevent Chronic Illness – Fuhrman
    Use The Science of  Nutrition To Correct Chronic Illness
    Joel Fuhrman, M.D, from Flemington, NJ, is a board-certified family physician, six-time New York Times best-selling author and internationally recognized expert on nutrition and natural healing, who specializes in preventing and reversing disease through nutritional methods. Dr. Fuhrman coined the term “Nutritarian” to describe his eating style, which describes in detail a diet of nutrient-dense, plant-rich foods. His work clearly explains the latest science for applied nutrition-in-action.
    For over 25 years, Dr. Fuhrman has shown that it is possible to achieve sustainable weight loss and reverse heart disease, diabetes, cancer and many other chronic illnesses using smart nutrition. In his medical practice, and through his multiple books and television specials, he continues to bring this life-saving message to hundreds of thousands of people around the world.
    Key Point
    As noted, Dr. Fuhrman created the Nutritarian diet, an eating plan that incorporates the latest advances in nutritional science. At the center of the Nutritarian Diet is the simple health equation, H=N/C. This equation expresses the concept that you can predict your health (H) by your nutrient intake (N) divided by your calorie intake (C).  His ANDI Scoring System (featured in Whole Foods Market), which measures the relative nutrient density of conventional foods, provides millions of consumers with specific instructions on how to eat an anti-cancer diet-style.
    Put Dr. Fuhrman on your reading list – here’s why.

  • 115 Methylation And Molecular Details Matter – Walsh
    Walsh, Measures, Nutrients & The Molecular Brain – 2
    More than two-thirds [66%!] of persons diagnosed with a behavior or mental disorder exhibit a measurable methylation imbalance. A person’s methyl status is established during the first few months of in-utero development and this condition tends to persist throughout life.
    ~ William Walsh
    Dr. Bill Walsh – Now, more than one year from our first CBJ Episode launch in April ’16, it’s actually ten months ago from our first Nutrient Power interview with Dr. Walsh. Our team thinks this foundational methylation interview bears repeating. Do forward it to your colleagues, the links here in these show notes offer additional resources that take the molecular mind discussion to even deeper, more interesting, more actionable destinations.
    Why Send Out A Methylation Replay?
    While we won’t share replays often, this meeting with Dr. Bill Walsh sets a standard here at CBJ, a big record. Today, with thousands of downloads in 112 [updated] counties, Bill sets our record with this methylation interview for total Episode downloads – an important landmark regarding a significant shift in the public interest for the growing molecular wisdom with measured applications for improved mind science.
    Details and data are in, guesswork is out.
    Our Laboratory Measurement Partner – Direct Health Access
    Global curiosity for understanding these essential measures of synaptic molecular physiology today set new maps to address the complexity of treatment failure on multiple levels. In addition, our new CBJ Sponsor/Partner, Direct Health Access Laboratory has served for years as our respected laboratory resource to measure that collection of metabolic variables for our direct clinical work. With an international focus and over three million testing reviews, they provide reliable data – almost anywhere. My articulate colleague in Nigeria will soon weigh in here at CBJ on the evolution of testing and mind-science there.
    To change your mind, details matter. And thanks, DHA Lab for your support and partnership with our CBJ efforts for more informed care, globally.
    Next steps require an informed team to successfully navigate this challenging Path.

  • 114 Hemingway’s Brain Examined – Farah
    Hemingway’s Brain Examined – TBI, CTE & Suicide
    Every man’s life ends the same way. It is only the details of how he lived and how he died that distinguish one man from another.
    ~ Ernest Hemingway
    Dr. Andrew Farah, is a forensic psychiatrist, psychopharmacologist, and the author of a remarkable new book: Hemingway’s Brain. This interview, our first CBJ discussion, is at once transcendent, entertaining, and prescient regarding the brain awareness changes today taking place in both our society and our neuroscience community.
    Brief Bio
    Dr. Farah is a native of Charleston SC and now serves as Chief of Psychiatry at the High Point Division of UNC Healthcare. In addition to this extraordinary piece on Hemingway, we’ve invited Andy back to CBJ for a serious discussion regarding the homocysteine theory of depression, and the use of reduced B vitamins for depression and neuroprotection, particularly the prevention of dementias.  Yes, he’s a neuroscience expert as well. Stay tuned for our next visit.
    His Interest In Hemingway’s Brain
    It’s important to note that Dr. Farah’s remarks in this engaging and remarkably informative interview arise from his love of Hemingway’s works, his own passion for meaningful works as a writer, his professional experience as a psychiatric/forensic investigative reporter, and his abiding personal drive to face the new, discoverable realities of Hemingway’s brain function. If you have loved the troubled, insightful and metaphoric Hemingway, as we have over the years, you will most certainly find our discussion interesting. And you will absolutely love Andy’s book.
    From the historically documented challenges of Hemingway’s chronic traumatic encephalopathy, CTE, to alcohol abuse, to the challenges of global celebrity in this CBJ/114 episode, we discuss many interesting aspects of Hemingway’s life and mind. For decades his death and life challenges have remained so inexplicable because they occurred in times of ineffective brain diagnostic technology, only about 56 years ago.  Then, even at the esteemed Mayo Clinic, the standard of care overlooked Hemingway’s brain challenges as biologically relevant, measurable and correctable.  
    Upon careful review, stigma and celebrity kept him from going to Menninger’s for his depression, as he could appear more medical for the purported reason of hypertension at the medical Mayo Clinic.
    It’s reassuring to confirm how we’ve come a long way in our understandings of brain injury in just a few years.                                                      
    Hemingway’s Life & Friends – Brain Injury Matters
    If the hoar frost grip thy tent,
    Thou wilt give thanks when night is spent.
    ~ Ezra Pound, The Pisan Cantos
    You will also appreciate Dr. Farah’s comprehensive grasp of those memorable years in the ‘Hemingway Times’ – including interesting insights regarding his relationships with extraordinary Lost Generation writing companions including James Joyce, Ezra Pound, and others. When you listen to Dr. Farah talk about Hem, it’s easy to think you’re with them all in Paris, sipping coffee with his crew of writing friends and expats over there at these extant haunts on the Left Bank.
