Next Level Healing

Gina Conway, multi-award-winning salon owner, sustainability ambassador, and founder of Gina Conway Aveda Salons & Spas in London, joins Dr. Tara Perry to explore what 38 years behind the salon chair has taught her about beauty, confidence, and the human need to be truly seen. Gina grew up in Lake Tahoe, built her salon business from the ground up in London, and — when menopause brought her to her knees at 51 — reinvented her entire approach to wellness.

This conversation starts with hair and ends somewhere much deeper: what it means to find the flame in every person, and why the most powerful thing you can offer another human being is your full, undivided attention.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

04:50 Gina listens with all her senses — not just her ears — and describes it as a full-body experience with every client.
 05:35 What people are really seeking when they sit in a salon chair isn't a haircut. It's confidence and the experience of their inner light being brought out.
 07:02 Gina built her business around a "guest journey" — replacing the word "client" with "guest" and redesigning every single touchpoint around positive energy and love.
 09:28 At 51, menopause brought Gina to a breaking point — she was resting her head on the dinner table every night, too exhausted to be present with her family or her hundred employees.
 14:01 Gina tracks beauty the way others track problems — deliberately following what delights her and lights her up, which has shaped every area of her life and work.
 19:45 The first 30 seconds of a guest consultation are everything: connection, rapport, and trust — always eye to eye, never through a mirror.
 21:20 People use their hair as armor — to hide, to disappear, to project strength. A hairdresser who understands that is doing something closer to therapy.
 24:09 Gina's wellness ritual begins every appointment: 32 essential oils, three deep cleansing breaths, and a full head, neck, and shoulders massage done with deliberate healing intention.
 31:40 Beauty is in everybody — not just the 3%. Gina says she would love the opportunity to help anyone who doesn't feel beautiful see what she already sees in them.
 32:23 Attractiveness has nothing to do with how you look. Sexy is a state of mind — it's how you hold yourself, how you play, how you express.

What if the answers you’ve been searching for… you already know?

What if your intuition has been talking to you all along—and you’ve simply learned not to hear it?

Medical intuitive Julie Ryan joins Dr. Tara Perry for a fascinating conversation about intuition, healing, and what may be possible when we start listening.
KEY TAKEAWAYS

05:10 Julie raises her vibrational level to the frequency of spirit and watches a hologram of the body in her mind's eye — like an X-ray — to identify what needs healing.
 10:15 Nobody ever heals anybody else. Healers facilitate the process, but the body always heals itself.
 13:03 If you receive information that feels negative or abusive during spiritual practice, that's your brain — not spirit. Spirit is pure love.
 15:59 Energetic healing happens instantly on the spiritual level, then integrates into the physical body — sometimes immediately, sometimes over days or weeks.
 22:00 Everyone is already intuitive. Thinking of someone right before they call you? That's your intuition at work.
 22:27 Julie's daily routine: legs-up-the-wall meditation, the rosary, and two minutes standing in the superwoman pose facing the sun.
 26:43 We all come in with the same spiritual hardware. Children are naturally psychic until adults teach them not to trust it.
 33:34 The faces people see during meditation are the multitudes of spirits that surround us always — ask them if they have a message.
 40:43 The biggest way we get in our own way is using logic to override what spirit is already telling us. The antidote: ask "what if?" and take one step.
 38:00 University research now shows that 90% of people at the end of life see and communicate with deceased loved ones and pets. Nobody dies alone.

Dr. David Jernigan, doctor, researcher, inventor, and founder of the Biologix Center for Optimum Health, joins Dr. Tara Perry to share how nearly 30 years in treatment-resistant chronic illness led him to invent a therapy that turns the body's own viruses into precision antibiotics — a search that began because no one could help his own wife. This isn't just a Lyme story. It's a story about a decade of bedridden Christmases, cookbook medicine, an epiphany scribbled in the margins of a magazine at 30,000 feet, and what happens when a doctor refuses to accept that his wife is a lost cause.

Dr. Jernigan breaks down the circuitry, the testing, and the phage science behind his results — and why the goal was never to kill every pathogen, but to restore the body's range of adaptability.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

05:33 A doctor is only as good as he's been taught. Dr. Jernigan estimates 99% of medicine is cookbook doctoring — and no matter how good a hammer is, you can't build a house with only a hammer.

08:27 His definition of optimum health: the point where body, mind, and spirit respond correctly and instantly to any change in the internal or external environment. A husband and wife can test positive for the exact same infections while only one is sick — the difference isn't the bugs, it's range of adaptability.

13:26 The body runs on semi-dedicated circuits. Your kidneys, your two front teeth, and your psoas muscle share one — and when that circuit blows, everything on it drops to roughly 40% power.

17:48 Flown to England to treat a girl who hadn't walked in six and a half months, Dr. Jernigan spent one hour turning her circuits back on. She sat up, stood, and walked across the room. Three days later they were playing lawn darts.

24:36 His wife fell on her face trying to get from the bathroom to her bed and prayed, "Either kill me or show me what to do." She opened her laptop, and within five minutes a stranger in a support group mentioned the Biologix Center.

27:44 The eureka moment came on a plane to a Lyme conference, scribbled into the margins of a Scientific American article on bacteriophages. When he called his wife to tell her, she said: "Well, you do it, and if you don't die, I'll think about it."

32:18 He eliminated infection after infection and her headache stayed. She asked him to test deeper. The culprit was candida auris — and once he built a formula to target that one organism, the headache was gone in 10 minutes.

35:41 What a phage actually is: you are born with up to 100 trillion of them. They're benevolent viruses that only infect microbes, never your own cells — and they kill roughly 40% of the bacteria in your body every single day.

40:55 In a study of 26 chronically infected Lyme patients begun one week before COVID hit, 24 of 26 (92%) showed complete elimination of the targeted infection — and 77% tested negative after only four days of treatment.

50:20 The formulas contain no phages at all. They induce the phages already living in you — which means they can cross the blood-brain barrier and break down mycotoxins where binders never could.

55:41 Every cell in your body is listening to everything you say and think, and takes it as a command to change its chemistry. Your mind doesn't cause the illness, but it does have to be in alignment for the body to work from the inside out.

Robert Hartline, entrepreneur, EOS implementer, and founder of Music City Work Club, joins Dr. Tara Perry to share how he went from selling cell phones out of the trunk of his car to building a company with over $100 million in sales — and then walked away to live in Costa Rica while it kept running. This isn't just a business story. It's a story about breathwork, manifestation, sobriety, armed robberies, and what happens when an entrepreneur finally stops firefighting long enough to become the fire chief.

Robert breaks down the frameworks, mindset shifts, and inner work that made sustainable success possible — and why love, not strategy, is the most important thing any entrepreneur can master.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

02:22 Robert went from not thinking of himself as a salesperson to recognizing sales as the most lucrative learnable skill on the planet.
 13:11 Reading Traction was the first time Robert understood that entrepreneurship, like selling, is a skill with a recipe — not a personality trait.
15:50 Watching a fire chief stand back and observe while others fought the fire was the moment Robert realized he had been a firefighter, not a leader.
19:56 Do the work you love, with the people you love — Robert calls this the formula for heaven, and its opposite the formula for unnecessary suffering.
28:54 Robert scaled fast by teaching his team one thing: that caring about people is a skill, and it's the only skill that actually drives sales.
34:13 The weekend Robert moved his family to Costa Rica, he was robbed of $80,000. His nervous system activated — and for the next year, he unconsciously manifested break-ins, fraud, and theft until breathwork helped him see what he was creating.
38:00 A life coach asked Robert what he did. He said, "I sell cell phones" — dismissively. Her reframe of his impact changed his energy and 10X'd his results.
39:04 Breathwork became Robert's primary tool for shifting state — fear, guilt, creative blocks, high-stakes meetings — all addressable in under 10 minutes.
49:55 Robert built Music City Work Club first in his mind during a breathwork session — two years before it existed as a building.
52:40 The number one tool for finding your why is a friend willing to ask you a real question: What do you want to do while you're here?

Daniel Everett, professor of cognitive sciences at Bentley University and author of Don't Sleep, There Are Snakes, joins Dr. Tara Perry to share what 30 years living among the Pirahã people of the Amazon taught him about happiness, fear, and the stories Western culture tells itself. He arrived as an evangelical missionary. He left a changed man.

The Pirahã have no suicide, no panic attacks, no depression, and no word for the past they refuse to carry. In this episode, Daniel breaks down exactly how they live, and what the rest of us might be doing wrong.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

03:19 Daniel went to the Amazon to convert the Pirahã — and calls his failure the best thing that ever happened to him.
 05:15 When Daniel described suicide to the Pirahã, they burst out laughing. They had never heard of such a thing.
 09:47 A Stanford psychologist measured Pirahã happiness the simplest way possible — by tracking how often they laugh and smile.
 17:27 The only behaviors the Pirahã consider unacceptable are losing your temper, violence, and forcing others against their will.
 34:21 The Pirahã live entirely in the present — not talking about the past or future is a deliberate cultural value, built into their language.
 36:07 Pirahã verbs carry a built-in suffix that marks whether an event is in your control or out of it — a distinction that shapes how they relate to life.
 37:20 Every few months, Pirahã people change their names after a significant event — a practical way to leave the past behind and become someone new.
 43:16 The Pirahã's self-confidence, resilience, and fearlessness in the face of genuine daily danger ultimately cost Daniel his Christian faith.
 47:50 The Pirahã openly saw and described an entity on the riverbank that Daniel, standing beside them, could not see at all.
 54:00 Daniel's takeaway from three decades in the Amazon: when you're underwater, keep walking. You will reach the bank.

Nancy Rynes, author of Awakenings from the Light, Walking in the Light, and Messages from Heaven, joins Dr. Tara Perry to share what happened when a distracted driver ran her over on a Colorado bike path, dragged her 50 feet, and left her with over 100 bone fractures — and what she experienced on the other side. A former scientist and committed atheist, Nancy returned from her near-death experience with a radically transformed understanding of consciousness, the soul, and what she now calls "home."

In this episode, Nancy walks through her life review, her spirit guide's beyond-telepathic communication, why she refuses to call it the "afterlife," and the daily practices that keep her connected to source energy a decade after her recovery.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

00:10 Consciousness can split during trauma — Nancy experienced the accident from two simultaneous vantage points.
16:33 A mysterious trauma nurse held Nancy down at the scene, almost certainly preventing her death from a broken neck.
27:00 During her NDE, Nancy began remembering that Earth is the simulation, not home.
31:42 The life review was the most transformative part — she experienced every event from the perspective of everyone involved.
34:06 Thoughts carry energy that extends beyond the skull and affect the people and situations around you.
37:11 Communication in the NDE was beyond telepathic — feelings, history, and meaning transmitted in an instant.
41:10 We plan our lives at a high level before arriving, including a pre-agreed willingness to experience difficulty.
45:11 Nancy's father appeared at the foot of her bed at the exact moment of his death, 250 miles away.
54:55 Nancy's bones healed in four weeks despite over 100 fractures — her doctors were stunned.
58:07 The heart is the direct channel to source, and 15 minutes of genuine gratitude or love can shift your entire state.

Allyne Betancourt, a member of the Dr. Joe Dispenza healing community, joins Dr. Tara Perry to share one of the most extraordinary healing stories on the show to date: how she was diagnosed with advanced colorectal cancer, cured it holistically before ever undergoing surgery, and then — after surgeons removed most of her rectum anyway — used meditation and visualization to regenerate the organ back to nearly full size. Allyne walks through her refusal to "own" her cancer, the alternative protocols she combined with traditional treatment, the devastating aftermath of a surgery she now believes was unnecessary, and the dark night of the soul that led her to Dr. Joe Dispenza's work. The conversation closes with the medical documentation of her regeneration, the forgiveness work that made healing possible, and her hard-won belief that anyone — not just the exceptional — has this same capacity for the impossible.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

(00:02:38) Diagnosed with advanced T3 colorectal cancer and told surgery and a permanent colostomy bag were her only option — and her calm, immediate decision to refuse
(00:05:37) "This is not my cancer" — why Allyne refused to own her diagnosis from day one, and how that mindset carried through seven months of treatment
(00:10:01) Combining traditional treatment with alternative approaches: organic-only foods, raising her own grass-fed beef, and daily Buddhist chanting for hours at a time
(00:11:54) Fasting five days before each chemo treatment — and the unusually severe reactions her oncologists had never seen before
(00:19:27) The pressure to have surgery despite inconclusive scans, and her repeated request that doctors simply look before cutting
(00:28:06) Waking up from surgery and instantly knowing she'd made a mistake — while the surgeon celebrated how well the procedure had gone
(00:30:13) The physical toll of losing 8-10 centimeters of colon and most of her rectum: nonstop urgency, incontinence, and a dehumanizing new reality
(00:36:04) Getting the lab results back — no cancer found anywhere in the tissue that was removed
(00:37:15) Five months of worsening depression and a devastating conversation with her husband about not wanting to live like this anymore
(00:39:50) The turning point: "I'm either going to live like this, or I have to grow another rectum"
(00:46:04) Starting Dr. Joe Dispenza's meditation practice while running to the bathroom every 45-50 minutes, and the first sign of change after two months
(00:52:16) Confronting the surgeon who performed the operation — and learning she had no idea Allyne never had cancer to begin with
(00:59:50) The visualization practice Allyne used to dissolve scar tissue and "stretch" her remaining rectal tissue back toward full size
(01:10:18) The colonoscopy that documented her rectum had grown from 3 centimeters to 10 centimeters, with no trace of scar tissue
(01:15:46) Her message on breaking "the habit of being yourself" and why she believes healing the impossible isn't reserved for exceptional people
(01:18:09) How Allyne has learned to meet life's setbacks with curiosity and trust instead of fear — even in the face of her husband's death

Quinton Sanicola joins Dr. Tara Perry for a wide-ranging conversation on subconscious reprogramming, near-death experiences, fasting, psychedelics, and the invisible "brakes" most people don't know they're driving with. Quinton opens up about his own experience going through Tara's hypnotherapy work after years of following Dr. Joe Dispenza, and the profound release he felt once his subconscious blocks were identified and rewritten. Tara shares the science behind why chronic stress keeps the body stuck in fight-or-flight, real client stories of autoimmune conditions and chronic pain resolving through this work, and why so many high achievers are secretly driven by unresolved trauma. The conversation ranges into near-death experiences, dry fasting, Vipassana meditation, and the nature of reality itself — closing with Tara's reflection that healing doesn't mean life's challenges disappear, but that we become far more resourceful and resilient in facing them.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• (02:58) Quinton's own experience with subconscious work after years of following Dr. Joe Dispenza — and the question that led him to go deeper: "How can I take this further?"
• (04:50) "Running through mud" — Quinton's description of pushing through life without addressing what's really holding him back
• (05:29) The release Quinton felt after his first session — like releasing the brakes on a car that's been driving with them on the whole time
• (06:01) Why the invisible walls and hooks people carry usually got installed in early childhood and have nothing to do with who we are today
• (07:35) Real client outcomes Tara has witnessed: autoimmune issues resolving, veterans with severe PTSD improving in two sessions, and chronic pain and food allergies disappearing
• (09:47) The science of chronic stress — why living in fight-or-flight blocks the body's ability to heal, rest, and digest
• (13:18) Two remarkable client stories: someone with severe food allergies who reintroduced foods after 90 days, and a Rottweiler attack survivor who avoided further jaw surgeries
• (16:24) Why high achievers often carry unresolved trauma and imposter syndrome — including successful entrepreneurs who are uncomfortable asking for money
• (19:07) Tara's recent deep dive into near-death experiences, including Dr. Eben Alexander's story and what "life reviews" reveal about what really matters
• (24:10) A conversation on the simulation theory of reality, affirmations, and Tony Robbins' work on rewiring the nervous system through incantations
• (31:51) Tara's experience with a 7-day dry fast, the mental clarity it brings, and why she considers it a powerful reset
• (43:23) How addictive patterns like sugar, shopping, or alcohol are really the subconscious trying to fill a void — and why healing the root removes the need for the substitute
• (47:12) Why even after deep healing work, life's challenges don't vanish — but you become more resourceful, resilient, and less triggered
• (51:33) A look at the current research on psychedelics for reducing violent crime, addiction, and end-of-life anxiety — and the difference between therapeutic use and overuse

Serena Sabala, author of The Hormone Harmony Shift and co-founder of Whole Shift Wellness, joins Dr. Tara Perry to share how she healed from PCOS and debilitating hormonal symptoms that doctors told her had no cure — and built a life and career around holistic hormone health as a result. Serena traces her passion for wellbeing back to watching her father's mental health crisis unravel his life as a child, and shares the pivotal moments that shaped her own healing: moving out on her own at 18, discovering yoga in London, and finally uncovering meditation with her husband. She opens up candidly about her own diagnosis with PCOS at just 15 and premenstrual dysphoric disorder in her 20s — and how she reversed both without medication. The conversation closes with the three pillars she now teaches to help others achieve the same transformation, and a remarkable client story that shows just how life-changing this work can be.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• (01:41) Watching her father's bipolar diagnosis unravel a thriving, successful life — and the early lesson that no amount of success matters without your health
• (04:08) Growing up in a dysfunctional home environment and Serena's belief that mental illness can be "contagious" through a developing brain
• (07:07) The pivotal moment at 18 when she moved out on her own and realized, for the first time, that she could feel good in the right environment
• (08:01) Discovering yoga, then meditation, as the two turning points that took her healing to a whole new level
• (11:14) The moment her "someday" dream of teaching yoga became a real plan — and how her life fell apart in the best way when she committed to it
• (13:18) Meeting her husband, a national yoga champion and 20-year fitness veteran, and realizing they were meant to build this work together
• (19:22) A client's mother who joined a retreat, began a health transformation, and unknowingly caught a cancer early enough to have it surgically removed without chemotherapy
• (23:19) Why Serena believes there's no better investment than your own mind and body — and the mindset shift high achievers need around health spending
• (26:03) The biggest myths about hormones, and why a "one pill, one problem" approach to the endocrine system falls short
• (28:34) Being diagnosed with PCOS at 15 and told there was no cure, then developing severe PMDD in her 20s that required maxing out painkillers just to function
• (33:44) Reversing both conditions naturally — her gynecologist now tells her she has the reproductive system of a woman 10 years younger
• (34:53) The three pillars of hormone harmony: the focus pillar (mindset and stress reduction), nutrition (including the psychology of eating), and movement (and why more exercise isn't always better)
• (42:24) Where to find Serena's work, her free Hormone Harmony assessment, and her retreats in Sicily and Belize
