From Drug Smuggler to Healer: How Nick Brewer Created Primal Moves
On this episode of The Dr. Hyman Show, I sit down with Nick Brewer, founder of Primal Moves—a method born from his own healing journey. Once a pro skier turned drug smuggler, he spent ten years in prison, including four in solitary, where he discovered the power of breath and movement to rebuild his body and mind.
I had the chance to try Nick’s class myself, and I was struck by how powerful such simple movements can be. I’m excited to share that experience with you. You can watch the full conversation on YouTube, or listen wherever you get your podcasts.

We discuss:
• How to spot when your nervous system is stuck—and steps to restore balance
• Why talk therapy alone can’t release trauma in the body
• How group movement triggers natural feel-good brain chemistry
• Why we feel cut off from our bodies and how to reconnect
Healing starts in the body. By working through stress and pain, we gain the strength and energy to show up fully in life. My hope is that this conversation encourages you to explore these practices and see what they unlock for you.
