In this episode, join us as we talk with Dr. Stephen Porges, author of, The Polyvagal Theory.

Stephen W. Porges, Ph.D. is Distinguished University Scientist at Indiana University where he is the founding director of the Traumatic Stress Research Consortium. He is Professor of Psychiatry at the University of North Carolina, and Professor Emeritus at both the University of Illinois at Chicago and the University of Maryland. He served as president of the Society for Psychophysiological Research and the Federation of Associations in Behavioral & Brain Sciences and is a former recipient of a National Institute of Mental Health Research Scientist Development Award. He has published more than 300 peer-reviewed papers across several disciplines including anesthesiology, biomedical engineering, critical care medicine, ergonomics, exercise physiology, gerontology, neurology, neuroscience, obstetrics, pediatrics, psychiatry, psychology, psychometrics, space medicine, and substance abuse.

In 1994 he proposed the Polyvagal Theory, a theory that links the evolution of the mammalian autonomic nervous system to social behavior and emphasizes the importance of physiological state in the expression of behavioral problems and psychiatric disorders. The theory is leading to innovative treatments based on insights into the mechanisms mediating symptoms observed in several behavioral, psychiatric, and physical disorders.

He is the author of The Polyvagal Theory: Neurophysiological foundations of Emotions, Attachment, Communication, and Self-regulation (Norton, 2011), The Pocket Guide to the Polyvagal Theory: The Transformative Power of Feeling Safe, (Norton, 2017) and co-editor of Clinical Applications of the Polyvagal Theory: The Emergence of Polyvagal-Informed Therapies (Norton, 2018).

He is the creator of a music-based intervention, the Safe and Sound Protocol ™ , which currently is used by more than 1400 therapists to improve spontaneous social engagement, to reduce hearing sensitivities, to improve language processing and state regulation.

In this episode, join us as we talk with Robby Besner, owner, and CEO of Therasage.

Robby and his wife began Therasage from their personal journey to help their daughter manage, and eventually overcome her symptoms from Chronic Lyme Disease. With all of the challenges of our current health care system, it is their vision that each of us takes our health needs into our own hands through the use of a positive, natural, healthful regimen. Using Infrared in applications of everyday use, each of us can make a positive statement toward better health. Their vision was the dream of bringing unique healthy infrared healing energy to the public in easy-to-use and affordable, high-quality products. It is through these simple, household devices that we hoped to begin the process of bringing basic applications of Infrared energy into the home. We address the benefits of nature, through the Infrared spectrum, and negative ions, with our signature interface of natural earth elements. The use of natural gemstones like jade and tourmaline enhances the even distribution of deep penetrating infrared as well as generating an abundance of negative ions into the environment, thus bringing the positive forces of infrared heat, negative ions, and natural health to one's body. Since its founding, Therasage has become the gold standard for energy healing naturally healing infrared, negative ions, and eliminating EMFs (the harmful frequencies that electronic products generate.)
