In this episode of The Lindsay Elmore Show, Lindsay sits down with David Roberts, co-founder of Mara Labs and a pioneer in sulforaphane supplementation.

Sulforaphane, derived from broccoli sprouts, has been called the "master molecule for health" thanks to its ability to support detoxification, reduce inflammation, enhance brain health, and improve metabolic function. David shares the science behind stabilizing sulforaphane, explains why most supplements fall short, and discusses its synergistic effects with molecules like curcumin.

 From detoxing microplastics to balancing hormones and boosting mitochondrial energy, sulforaphane has far-reaching benefits for overall resilience.

Key Takeaways

• Sulforaphane Basics: A compound found in broccoli sprouts with over 37 documented pro-health mechanisms.
• Brain Health: Increases BDNF, supporting neuroprotection, neurogenesis, and even enhanced dreaming.
• Detoxification: Activates NRF2 pathways, turning on over 200 antioxidant and detox genes for up to 72 hours.
• Inflammation: Synergizes with curcumin to reduce NF-kB and IL-6, two key pro-inflammatory markers.
• Practical Use: Each capsule of Mara Labs’ stabilized sulforaphane equals the benefit of 2.5 pounds of broccoli.
• Metabolic Impact: Helps balance estrogen, supports mitochondrial energy, and assists in reducing belly fat and insulin resistance.
• Environmental Defense: Aids the body in processing toxins like glyphosate and mobilizing microplastics.

Why do we keep doing the things we know aren’t working? In this episode, Dr. Kyra Bobinet, author of Unstoppable Brain, breaks down the real reason behavior change feels so impossible—and how neuroscience can set us free.

Lindsey and Dr. Kyra delve into the brain’s habenula (also known as the failure detector), examine why hustle culture can lead to burnout, and uncover the shame loops that undermine our best intentions. Dr. Kyra shares a compassionate, science-backed path to sustainable change rooted in rest, self-trust, and the courage to try again. 

If you've ever thought, “I know what to do, I just don’t do it,” this episode is your permission slip to stop performing and start healing.

Key Takeaways

• The habenula shuts down motivation after repeated perceived failures.
  
  
• Traditional self-help often triggers shame instead of promoting change.
  
  
• Hustle culture teaches performance, not transformation.
  
  
• True behavior change requires rest, self-compassion, and aligned action.
  
  
• You are not broken—your brain is trying to protect you.

Dr. Michelle Jorgensen returns to The Lindsey Elmore Show to share a powerful truth: your cells—not prescriptions—do the real healing. In this episode, she breaks down the four things every cell needs to thrive, introduces a practical self-assessment for discovering which of your organs need support, and explains why ancient healing systems were often more in tune with the body than modern trends. From grounding to seasonal nutrition to ditching dangerous dental procedures like root canals, Dr. Jorgensen offers a holistic, science-backed roadmap to lasting energy and vibrant health. Additionally, she explains how the mouth can reflect—and even contribute to—chronic illness, and what parents can do to protect their children’s oral and overall health.

Key Takeaways

• Medicine is a tool, not a cure; true healing occurs at the cellular level.
  
  
• Every cell needs four essentials: supplies, support, security, and signals.
  
  
• Symptoms are messages, not problems to mask, but signals to decode
  
  
• Your body operates in seasons, and understanding your current season can inform your food, movement, and healing practices
  
  
• Traditional healing systems often employed a root-cause approach.
  
  
• Grounding and nature are powerful sources of healing electrons.
  
  
• Protein isn’t your go-to energy source—carbs play a critical role in fueling cells.
  
  
• Hidden dental infections, root canals, and metals can sabotage health.
  
  
• A biological dental approach addresses immunity, oxygen, and the body's electrical system.s
  
  
• Parents should prioritize minerals (in and out) over fluoride for kids’ dental healt.h

In this deeply moving episode, Lindsay sits down with Laura Evens—friend, mentor, and founder of the Willowfield Foundation—to discuss the traumatic events that changed her family forever. Laura shares the heartbreaking story of her daughter’s sexual abuse and suicide attempt, the hidden dangers of grooming, and the shocking reality that abuse often hides in plain sight. This conversation covers the painful truth about child sexual abuse, trafficking, and the signs parents usually miss. Laura also explains her work with NAMI and the importance of access to mental health support. This episode is a call to action for all of us: to be aware, ask better questions, and protect the most vulnerable in our lives.

Key Takeaways

• Child abuse thrives in silence, secrecy, and “nice” neighborhoods.
  
  
• Grooming is subtle, manipulative, and often misunderstood.

• Ask better questions as a parent—don’t just ask if they were polite, ask if anything felt uncomfortable.
  
  
• Secrets are never safe; surprises are fun, but secrets need to be shared.
  
  
• Parents should show up unannounced and trust their gut feelings.
  
  
• The Willowfield Foundation provides mental health therapy scholarships for children.
  
  
• Forgiveness and healing are daily choices, not one-time events.
