My conversation with, former NFL Player and Stanford University Graduate Kailee Wong about Breathing YES, breathing.

Our breath is what keeps us here. It’s what can take us back to the present moment. It keeps our bodies working. When we breathe, we send oxygen to every little cell in our body, keeping them working and expelling carbon dioxide.

Breathing is the first thing we do when we're born and the last thing we do before we die.

Kailee breaks it down in simple terms.

Great conversation with DR. TONY DERAMUS, DC, CCSP where he answers the question.

What if you could eliminate or reduce chronic neurological conditions just by watching a movie or listening to music? It may sound too good to be true, but with the rise of computer technology, combined with decades of research in understanding brainwaves and how they affect your health, it is now possible to “fix” brainwaves and affect the way the body functions.

So tune-in and find out.

The brain is basically a machine to manage survival tasks, Frank and I discuss this and much much more.

Most of us are familiar with the concept of six degrees of separation - the idea is that anyone on the planet can be connected to anyone else in just six steps. So through just five other people, you're effectively connected to the Queen of England, Tom Cruise, or even a Mongolian sheepherder. But is there actually any science to back up this commonly cited theory?

This is what Frank and I explore on this episode.

Randall and Frank talk about the phenomenon in which people experience relief from symptoms after a fake treatment is called the placebo effect, and it is well known in the medical world. According to the rules of evidence-based medicine, these improvements are worthless.

Might the placebo effect have real life value? Can a simple belief in something have the power to improve a situation?
