June 30, 2020Healing Depression Without Medication With Dr. Jodie Skillicorn

Conventional medicine would tell you that if you don’t take your medication, you’re going to be sick forever. However, Dr. Jodie Skillicorn is debunking this claim. She joins Timothy J. Hayes, Psy.D. on the show today to talk about healing depression through methods not involving medications. Dr. Skillicorn is a Psychiatry Specialist in Akron, OH and has over 16 years of experience in the medical field. Together with Timothy, she dives into her book called Healing Depression without Medication: A Psychiatrist’s Guide to Balancing Mind, Body, and Soul and discusses some effective and efficient methods in doing therapy other than by conventional medications.

June 16, 2020Reconnecting The Body’s Circuitry Through Bioelectrical Impedance Technology With Billy Holder
We know from physics that everything is energy, and everything is affected by it. Applying this principle to the human body’s inner workings, Billy Holder, a medical technician specializing in bioelectrical impedance technology, uses electrotherapy to help patients recover from various illnesses by reconnecting their circuits. He sees the human body as a repository of past trauma, which translates to somatic experiences for people. Using bioelectrical impedance technology, he helps patients get rid of circuit blockages and restore the body’s connections with itself and with the brain. Working on a technology that has barely seen five years from its inception, Billy is a pioneer in this promising field of energy-based medical technology. Listen in as he explains the work he does with Timothy J. Hayes, Psy.D.

May 26, 2020Music, The Brain And The Fundamentals Of Brain Care With Allison Davies
We live in a unique time in human history where the brain has to cope with the sheer amount of sensory information that it has not yet evolved to deal with. Brain care cuts through this noise and keeps the brain in prime condition to do the things it is designed to do in the first place. Australian neurologic music therapist and brain care specialist Allison Davies joins Dr. Timothy Hayes to talk about some of the fundamentals of brain care and the role music plays in maintaining a healthy brain. Allison believes that humans are musical beings and that the brain is a musical organ. She encourages us to care for our brains by releasing our pent-up emotions, reducing sensory overload, and reclaiming our inherent musicality.
