In this powerful conversation, I’m joined by Dr. Chad Zawitz, a physician who spent over two decades delivering frontline medical care inside one of the largest urban jail systems in the country. Dr. Zawitz pulls back the curtain on carceral healthcare, explaining the critical differences between jail and prison, the constitutional right to medical care for incarcerated individuals, and why many patients actually experience better measurable health outcomes while locked up.

We spend significant time unpacking the evolution of HIV treatment, from the early days of fear and stigma to today’s extraordinary advances, including long-acting injectable antivirals and the game-changing reality that people with undetectable viral loads cannot transmit HIV. Dr. Zawitz explains why, with proper access and adherence, HIV could be effectively eliminated within a single generation, without a cure or vaccine.

This episode also explores stigma, language, trauma, addiction, and the power of treating people like human beings. From stories inside the jail to reflections on COVID, public health messaging, and medical ethics, this conversation is a reminder that healing doesn’t begin with protocols, it begins with compassion.

Welcome back to Beautifully Broken, where healing meets high performance. Today’s conversation is with Kim and Holly from CFT Global, the leaders carrying forward Craniosacral Fascial Therapy, a modality that blends craniosacral therapy, myofascial release, and oral-structural work into one unified system.

We explore why fascia is not just connective tissue, but an intelligent communication network that holds tension, trauma, and adaptation patterns. From infants struggling after birth, to adults with migraines, brain fog, concussions, and chronic stress, CFT works by restoring movement—movement of the cranial bones, movement of cerebrospinal fluid, and movement of the nervous system back toward safety.

What struck me most is this: CFT doesn’t force the body to heal. It listens. By following the body’s innate wisdom, the nervous system shifts into parasympathetic regulation, allowing digestion, detoxification, emotional processing, and cognition to improve naturally. This episode is a deep dive into why healing is not about doing more, but about creating the conditions where the body can finally do what it already knows how to do.

Episode Highlights

[00:00] – Craniosynostosis, infant skulls, and why cranial plates must move for brain growth
[02:16] – What Craniosacral Fascial Therapy actually is (and how it’s different from CST)
[04:11] – Cognitive clarity, emotional shifts, and whole-body effects of fascial release
[06:34] – The origins of CFT: osteopathy, myofascial release, and oral structures
[08:29] – Why head pressure persists even when labs “look normal”
[10:12] – Tongue ties, airway dysfunction, and the overlooked craniodental system
[13:29] – Weston Price, epigenetics, and how modern environments reshape facial structure
[17:27] – Why releasing a tongue tie without bodywork can create new problems
[23:10] – Are cranial bones really fused? Debunking a long-held medical myth
[25:48] – Understanding the “brain cycle” and what zero brain motion means
[31:23] – Vagus nerve regulation and parasympathetic healing through CFT
[39:41] – Fascia as an organ system and what dissection reveals about the body
[41:36] – Adhesions, scars, and how gentle work restores visceral movement
[47:26] – Concussions, CTE, and why unresolved cranial strain matters long-term
[50:57] – Why CFT is still unknown—and why that’s starting to change
[01:01:36] – Emotional releases, stored trauma, and the body’s ability to unwind
[01:04:34] – What infants teach us about nervous system regulation (no placebo required)

Welcome back to Beautifully Broken, where healing meets high performance. Today I’m joined by my friend and returning guest George Wiseman, who last appeared in Episode 141 sharing his extraordinary origin story. This time, we take a more advanced dive into hydrogen medicine—specifically the differences between molecular hydrogen (H₂) and Brown’s Gas, a unique blend containing hydrogen, oxygen, water vapor, and an electron-rich plasma known as EEW (electronically expanded water).

George breaks down how Brown’s Gas delivers not only molecular hydrogen but also bioavailable electrons—fuel your body uses to stop oxidative cascades, rebuild tissue, and restore cellular communication. We talk about why H₂ alone doesn’t always create a perceptible effect, why Brown’s Gas often does, and how these modalities play distinct roles in the ecosystem of healing tools. He shares incredible user stories—from carpal tunnel relief in minutes to a young woman who beat metastasized cancer using Brown’s Gas as part of an integrative healing plan.

We also explore the new micro-bubbler attachment that infuses bathwater with micro- and nano-bubbles, dramatically increasing gas absorption and accelerating skin repair. Then George reveals the next frontier: a forthcoming AquaCure add-on that allows users to make their own deuterium-depleted water, a therapy shown to support mitochondrial function and metabolic repair.

This conversation is equal parts science, innovation, and lived experience—another perspective-shifting journey with one of the most generous inventors in wellness tech.

Episode Highlights

[00:00] – Hydrogen research overview: inflammation, oxidative stress, and why H₂ is having a moment

[02:22] – The AquaCure’s unheard-of one-year money-back guarantee

[03:38] – Welcoming George back + reflections on the “Beautifully Broken” ethos

[05:26] – No device is a panacea: hydrogen as one tool in a larger healing ecosystem

[07:53] – A remarkable cancer remission case and how Brown’s Gas supported the process

[09:16] – Why hydrogen helps nearly every condition studied (and why side effects are positive)

[10:27] – What is Brown’s Gas? The six constituent gases and how they’re formed

[11:56] – Discovery of electrically expanded water (EEW): a third gas with unique properties

[14:22] – The role of electrons: inflammation reduction, oxidative damage repair, and immune support

[16:47] – Brown’s Gas during the pandemic: oxygenation, cytokine storms & rapid recovery

[19:14] – Why you must stay below a 2% inhalation threshold for safety

[21:40] – Hydrogen’s role in regeneration: scars, immune restoration, and organ repair

[24:08] – External applications: bags, gloves, spot treatments, and rapid nerve relief

[26:10] – Hydrogen vs. methane: how microbiome differences shape individual outcomes

[28:27] – Why Brown’s Gas feels different than H₂—tingles, energy, and nerve activation

[30:32] – EZ water (Pollack): how Brown’s Gas increases structured water up to 300%

[34:42] – Solving medical mysteries: capillary flow, blood pressure, and nutrient transport

[39:12] – The problem with “flagged words” in health conversations (structured water, silver, etc.)

[45:17] – Dreaming of an NFL-wide recovery experiment (Buffalo Bills, call us!)

[47:13] – The new micro-bubbler: micro/nano bubbles, skin repair, and whole-body absorption

[52:24] – Scar regeneration, tingling, and my own early bathtub experiment

Welcome back to Beautifully Broken, where healing meets high performance. Today, I’m exploring a truth that’s changed everything for me and my clients: we are not broken machines; we are adaptive, conscious beings in dynamic systems of repair.

After years of sitting with people navigating complex chronic illness, I’ve realized that our biology is not just chemical, it’s also energetic and informational. Our nervous systems are constantly scanning for safety, and when symptoms arise, they often become the story our brains use to make sense of chaos: “It’s my mold,” “It’s my MTHFR gene,” “It’s my hormones.” These narratives can help us, but they can also trap us.

The healing work lies in the yes, and… validating the diagnosis, while remembering we have levers of influence: breath, movement, light, connection, thought, and time in nature. Pattern interrupts, tiny shifts in our inner dialogue and sensory experience, can retrain our physiology, lower inflammation, and awaken resilience. Healing, ultimately, is the art of creating new internal conditions where health can return naturally.

This episode is a reminder that you are not a malfunctioning machine, you are a masterpiece in process.

Episode Highlights

[00:00] – The nervous system as storyteller: how our brains create meaning from illness
[01:24] – “I am broken because…”: how health narratives form and when they hold us back
[02:47] – Why healing must include biology, energy, and information—not just chemistry
[04:15] – The power of breath, cold, heat, light, and thought to change physiology
[05:11] – Nature therapy: the most accessible medicine on Earth (and it’s free)
[06:40] – How fear-based stories become cages and the ego resists the real work
[07:32] – Limbic system retraining: the ROI of rewiring your stress response
[08:55] – The bridge of true healing: biology meets consciousness
[09:45] – Healing isn’t fixing; it’s changing the conditions for adaptation
[10:01] – A closing love letter to your body and its innate intelligence

Welcome back to Beautifully Broken, where healing meets high performance. Today’s guest, John Golden, is a walking miracle—and a man who’s defied odds most of us can’t even imagine. After coding on an ER table from a full arterial blockage known as a “widowmaker,” John was revived and left with a second chance at life. We talk about the raw emotion of facing death, how gratitude becomes your default operating system afterward, and why community, family, and reflection matter more than anything else.

John shares his journey from college football linebacker to multiple knee surgeries, a human bone transplant, and ultimately, summiting Mount Everest. Through that journey, he learned how the body compensates, adapts, and rebuilds—and how the same principles apply to the brain. Now as CEO of Vital Neuro, he’s leading a new era in personalized neurofeedback—where real-time EEG and neuro-responsive music help calm the nervous system, restore focus, and reduce overwhelm.

Together, we unpack the neuroscience of balance, the volume of modern life, and the small daily practices that bring peace and performance back online. This one’s about more than surviving—it’s about learning how to be vital.

Welcome back to Beautifully Broken, where healing meets high performance. Today, I’m joined by the luminous Dr. Shivani Gupta, founder of Fusionary Formulas and author of The Inflammation Code. Shivani’s story begins with a home full of mold, hair loss, and a reminder that even the healthiest among us can get blindsided by hidden toxins. What followed was a journey of deep functional medicine testing, emotional regulation, and fierce self-advocacy—proof that healing is never linear.

We talk about the real root of “inflamma-aging,” why brain fog and fatigue are not normal, and how inflammation is at the center of most chronic disease. Shivani breaks down the six Ayurvedic pillars of anti-inflammatory living, the importance of circadian alignment (especially the 10–2 window), and why tea time is more than self-care—it’s medicine.

From tongue scraping and turmeric to sleep hygiene and self-awareness, this episode is full of accessible practices that bring ancient rituals into modern life. Whether you’re battling burnout, navigating hormonal chaos, or simply ready to feel more alive, Shivani’s wisdom will help you rewrite your own inflammation code.

Welcome back to Beautifully Broken, where healing meets high performance. Today, I’m joined by Martha Carlin, a woman who turned heartbreak into groundbreaking innovation. When her husband John was diagnosed with Parkinson’s, Martha refused to accept the standard “there’s nothing you can do.” Instead, she built a team of microbiologists, chemists, and researchers and founded The BioCollective, one of the first large-scale stool banks for Parkinson’s research.

In this conversation, Martha shares what she discovered about the gut-brain connection, from the role of calcium and endotoxins to the emotional trauma that so often precedes disease. We talk about the origins of BiotiQuest, the company born from her desire to create living microbial systems that restore balance to the gut. Her formulations—like Sugar Shift, Perfect Peace, and the Total Gut Reset—don’t just add bacteria; they build microbial teams that communicate, heal, and support human resilience.

Martha also opens up about losing her husband in 2024 and what she’s learned about the lasting impact of environmental toxins, cleaning products, and emotional repression on our biology. It’s a conversation that redefines what healing means—and reminds us that science, love, and purpose can coexist beautifully.

Welcome back to Beautifully Broken, where healing meets high performance. Today, we’re going deep with Dr. Chris Shade, founder of Quicksilver Scientific, the mind behind many of the world’s most advanced detox and hormone technologies. Together, we explore how inflammation, leaky gut, and energetic stagnation are connected — and how the next generation of liposomal and peptide therapies are helping people heal from the inside out.

Dr. Shade walks us through the power of BPC-157 and KPV to seal the gut lining and reset the body’s inflammatory loops, the surprising role of parasites in emotional and energetic patterns, and why the extracellular matrix may be the true “organ of communication” that keeps every system aligned. We also break down his revolutionary sublingual testosterone — a delivery method that mimics the body’s natural rhythm instead of suppressing it.

From quantum biology to spiritual integration, this episode is a masterclass in cellular intelligence and conscious healing. Whether you’re dealing with chronic illness, burnout, or simply want to age better, this one is for the note-takers, biohackers, and seekers ready to reclaim the body’s original blueprint.

Welcome back to Beautifully Broken, where healing meets high performance. This week, I’m joined by Dr. Evan Hirsch, a board-certified holistic and integrative physician who’s walked the talk of healing from severe chronic fatigue. After five years of debilitating illness that left him sleeping under his desk, Dr. Hirsch discovered the powerful interplay between environmental toxins, infections, and the nervous system — what he now calls The Toxic Five.

In our conversation, we explore the real science behind fatigue and burnout, why most lab testing is unreliable, and how Dr. Hirsch helps patients recover naturally without endless supplements or expensive diagnostics. We also talk about mindset, resilience, and the importance of emotional regulation — how nervous system retraining can be the single most important step toward recovery.

This is a masterclass in root-cause healing. If you’ve ever been told “your labs look fine” but you know something is off, this episode offers a roadmap to understanding your biology and reclaiming your energy.

[00:00] – Dr. Evan Hirsch’s personal journey through chronic fatigue and losing everything before discovering his healing method
[02:10] – Defining chronic fatigue syndrome and how it’s misdiagnosed in conventional medicine
[06:30] – The “Toxic Five”: heavy metals, chemicals, molds, infections, and nervous system dysfunction
[10:40] – Why most testing fails and how to heal without expensive labs
[16:50] – The “die-off dance”: how to detox without crashing your system
[18:42] – Breaking down the four-step process to overcoming fatigue naturally
[25:36] – Realistic healing timelines — why true recovery is a marathon, not a sprint
[27:32] – The power of limbic system retraining for emotional and physical resilience
[31:52] – Opening detox pathways: movement, hydration, saunas, and cold therapy
[40:10] – Building comfort with discomfort — and how resilience is trained

In this episode of the Beautifully Broken Podcast, I’m joined by Aleena Kanner, a certified athletic trainer, neuromuscular specialist, and breathwork educator, for a deep dive into the biomechanics of healing. Aleena breaks down how subtle shifts in the jaw, teeth, and eyes can create—or resolve—chronic pain patterns. We explore how asymmetries in the body reflect deeper imbalances in the nervous system, and how restoring balance can be the key to sustainable healing.

Aleena shares her personal health story—from eczema and autoimmune challenges to Olympic weightlifting and nervous system dysregulation—and how her journey informed the way she works with clients today. She also opens up about her experience with PRP for hair restoration, what worked, and what she’d do differently.

We wrap with powerful takeaways on movement, posture, and reclaiming sovereignty over your health by understanding the body's asymmetrical brilliance.
