In this episode of Integrative Medicine with Dr. Leland Stillman, Dr. Stillman sits down with Dr. Carlos A. Loredo Ritter, a pediatric neurologist and sleep-medicine researcher whose career took a transformative turn when he discovered unexpected electrical patterns on EEGs and polysomnograms. Trained at the National Autonomous University of Mexico with a subspecialty in Pediatric Neurology, Dr. Ritter’s early clinical observations, especially in children with epilepsy, autism spectrum conditions, and sleep disturbances, led him to investigate how man-made electromagnetic fields (EMFs) may influence the brain’s electrical signaling. His findings ultimately pushed him beyond conventional neurology and into nearly two decades of research at the intersection of biophysics, sleep physiology, and environmental exposures.

Throughout the conversation, Dr. Ritter shares how studying sleep as a biochemical and electrical restorative process reshaped his understanding of chronic illness. He explains why proper sleep architecture is essential for cellular repair, metabolic balance, and long-term resilience, and how EMF exposure may interfere with these processes in ways that clinicians often overlook. Dr. Stillman and Dr. Ritter explore what emerging research suggests about cumulative environmental exposures, why historical exposures can shape individual susceptibility, and how accurate EMF assessment requires sophisticated diagnostic protocols that go far beyond standard consumer meters.

Dr. Stillman also invites Dr. Ritter to discuss the real-world impact of EMF mitigation, highlighting cases in which environmental assessment and shielding led to meaningful improvements in sleep, neurological symptoms, and overall function. Their discussion underscores the importance of addressing root causes, integrating physics into modern medical practice, and remaining open to evidence that challenges established assumptions. This episode is a deep dive into the complexity of the brain, the importance of restorative sleep, and the evolving science of environmental medicine, offering listeners a thoughtful, medically responsible look at how holistic and integrative approaches can enhance patient care.

In this episode of Stories of Hope, Stories of Healing, Dr. Leland Stillman reconnects with Ashlee to explore her family’s extraordinary journey through trauma, mold toxicity, and the limitations of conventional care. After her two-year-old son suffered a devastating eye injury from a rooster attack, Ashlee and her family were thrust into a whirlwind of surgeries, long recovery timelines, and overwhelming diagnoses, including predictions of permanent blindness and a prosthetic eye. What followed was a story of resilience, faith, and the pursuit of integrative healing that defied all expectations.

Ashlee shares how her son’s eye began to heal rapidly and unexpectedly after introducing phototherapy patches that support stem cell activation and inflammation modulation, paired with prayer, light therapy, and holistic care. The story takes another turn when the family unknowingly moves into a mold-contaminated home. Within months, they were facing infections, neurological symptoms, and the birth of a newborn with health issues. After confirming severe environmental toxicity, Ashlee made the bold decision to evacuate their home, pursue detoxification strategies, and document their recovery through nutrition, nervous system regulation, and bioenergetic support.

This episode is a must-listen for families dealing with chronic illness, practitioners navigating complex cases, and anyone seeking real-world examples of what’s possible when root-cause medicine meets radical self-advocacy. You’ll hear about the testing methods Ashlee used, the clinical results they achieved, including complete mycotoxin clearance, and how belief, biology, and environment all shape the healing process.

In this episode of Integrative Medicine with Dr. Leland Stillman, Dr. Stillman and health coach Amy Arp, explore one of the most overlooked aspects of healing, the mind-body connection. They discuss how mindset, language, and the nervous system play critical roles in overcoming autoimmune conditions and other chronic illnesses. Dr. Stillman explains the concept of “repair deficit,” describing how toxic exposures, nutritional deficiencies, and emotional stress can limit the body’s ability to heal, and how cultivating a belief in recovery can change everything.

Drawing from clinical experience and real patient cases, Dr. Stillman and Amy unpack the power of words and thought patterns in shaping physiology. They share stories of individuals who made full recoveries after shifting from fear and identity-based illness to hope and empowerment. The conversation also explores measurable aspects of nervous system function, like HRV (heart rate variability), and why therapies such as neurofeedback, EMDR, breathwork, and detoxification are vital for restoring balance.

Listeners will walk away with a deeper understanding of how environment, mindset, and biochemistry all intersect in the healing process. Whether you’re managing an autoimmune condition or simply seeking better health, this discussion offers practical, evidence-informed insights into how to optimize both body and mind.

In this episode of Integrative Medicine with Dr. Leland Stillman, Dr. Stillman and Amy Arp dive into the Autoimmunity Recovery Roadmap, a practical framework designed to help patients achieve long-lasting results. They discuss why foundational lifestyle strategies such as nutrition, light exposure, stress management, and reducing environmental toxins are non-negotiable starting points for healing. Without these essentials, even the most advanced therapies often fail to produce sustainable improvements.

Dr. Stillman explains his concept of the “therapeutic tree,” which begins with low-cost, high-impact lifestyle choices before moving into more advanced therapeutics. From mineral balancing and hormone optimization to therapies like hyperbaric oxygen and ozone, each step is carefully layered based on individual needs and test results. Amy adds her perspective on living the foundations daily, sharing how consistency transforms healthy routines into second nature.

Together, they emphasize a personalized and sustainable approach to recovery. Every patient’s journey is unique, requiring adjustments based on their biology, environment, and capacity. Listeners will come away with a clearer understanding of how to move beyond short-term fixes toward a structured roadmap that builds resilience and long-term wellness.
