Dr. Stephanie Rimka paints a bleak picture of why babies born into the modern, urban world are swimming against the current from day one. 350 chemicals in their bodies. Protein bars and pesticides. Microplastics.  Digital dementia. All of this leading to dysregulated nervous systems and anxiety soaked brains. We have to do something. And that’s what Dr Rimka is doing - spread the message, educate the masses and do something to save our kids and the generations to come.

As founder and CEO of Brain and Body Solutions, Dr. Stephanie Rimka, BA, DC, BCN is a nationally board-certified Doctor of Chiropractic and Board-Certified Neurofeedback Therapist with over two decades of experience helping individuals optimize brain function, metabolic health, and overall performance.

Are we progressing in health and wellness? Or is so much of what we are looking for in the simplicity of the past and the design of nature? We live in a complex and messy and yes toxic world, so what do we do about it? Today I talk to Dr Tom Cowan again, a man who himself says he can’t believe the things he is saying now after spending the last decades dissecting scientific and medical claims taken as dogma.

Dr Tom Cowan is a well-known alternative medicine doctor, author, and speaker, with a common-sense, holistic approach to health and wellness. He has given countless lectures and workshops throughout the U.S. on a variety of subjects in health and medicine and is the author of six books. Recent publications include “The Contagion Myth,” co-authored by Sally Fallon Morell, “Cancer and the New Biology of Water” and “Human Heart, Cosmic Heart.”

Are you living fake freedom? One of my biggest realizations with productivity expert Dr Ann Tsung was that - many of us are stuck in stage 3 of the time freedom cycle and treading water in fake time freedom. The question then is - how do we escape it and start living a life of more freedom and more flow and what are the habits, the values, the mindset and the tools we can employ to become time transcenders. 

Ann Tsung MD is a NASA Flight Surgeon, Critical Care/Emergency Medicine physician, peak performance/productivity coach at Productivity MD, real estate investor, podcast show host of Productivity MD, and a mother of a 19-month-old. With a unique fusion of medical precision and entrepreneurial success, she guides top physician entrepreneurs to unlock over 10 hours a week, master their mindset, scale their businesses, and achieve unparalleled freedom and leadership excellence.

Parkinson’s is not a function of aging, it is not a genetic disease and it is a human caused disease that is entirely preventable. That’s what the research is showing and what Parkinson’s expert and advocate Dr Ray Dorsey is on a mission to communicate to the world. Parkinson’s disease is the downstream effect of the indiscriminate, criminal and unnecessary use of neurotoxic chemicals we are spraying on our food, spraying on our sport fields, using in our dry-cleaning and breathing in the air. 

Dr. Ray Dorsey is a neurologist, researcher, and internationally recognized leader in Parkinson’s disease care, prevention, and health-care innovation. He holds a BS from Stanford University and a joint MD/MBA from the University of Pennsylvania (Perelman School of Medicine and Wharton). Currently, Dr. Dorsey is a practicing neurologist at Atria and Director of Atria’s Center for the Brain & the Environment, a nonprofit research initiative focused on identifying and preventing environmental causes of neurodegenerative disease, including Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s. He has authored more than 200 peer-reviewed publications, raised over $60 million in research funding, and was honored at the White House as a Champion of Change. A leading voice for prevention-focused medicine, he is the author of Ending Parkinson’s Disease and the forthcoming The Parkinson’s Plan, and remains committed to reimagining how brain health is protected across the lifespan.

Why settle for normal when we the target should be peak human health optimization, what I call superhuman? With the billions being put into the biotech industry, wearables, more access to all sorts of techniques, and now the unimaginable power of AI, it truly does seem the limits of health at the moment are boundless. That’s the world my guest Dr Sanjeev Goel inhabits, and today we discuss our clinical experience and what we see working for human health and mental performance.

Dr. Sanjeev Goel is a Canadian physician, speaker, and longevity expert widely known as “The Happiness and Longevity MD.”, his career spans over five decades and includes remote medical service in Himalayan communities as well as teaching mindfulness and resilience to healthcare professionals.

This episode isn’t for the faint at heart. Because Dawnmarie’s story and the stories she shares are heartbreaking. The data and her clinical experience indicates that one in four girls are abused in the household before 18 years old, and most of that abuse happens before age 6. And while having a step-parent is the number one risk , unfortunately they are often not the only person at blame. DawnMarie is a survivor in the truest sense, having taken her past of horrible abuse and turning the pain into true purpose and mission. But it was messy, took courage and ultimately took faith. Dawnmarie’s story is one of hope, and that there is always hope.

Dr. DawnMarie Risley-Childs is a professional speaker who empowers audiences to create positive change. She inspires audiences to break free from negativity and to create a brighter future. She delivers impactful talks, workshops, and podcast appearances on healing from toxic relationships, building positive work cultures, and championing the safety and well-being of children.

This episode is a masterclass in both men and women’s hormonal health. These hormones in effect are the clocks of aging, so much so that biotech labs can now take a few data points, consult with AI and provide you with an almost exact time until major hormonal events like menopause. Which is crucially important because to optimize health and longevity the right type of hormonal support and treatment should be started years before that. This episode is for anyone wanting to understand how hormones are the backbone of overall health, aging slower, maintaining sexual function and looking younger for longer.

Dr. Amy Killen, MD received her Bachelor’s degree in Biomedical science from Texas A&M University and then her MD from UT Southwestern Medical School. She completed an Emergency Medicine residency at the University of Arizona. She worked for many years in Austin, Texas as a board-certified emergency physician before moving to Portland and becoming the medical director of an anti-aging specialty clinic. Now in Utah, Dr. Killen embraces bio-identical hormone therapy and personalized medicine and offers aesthetics services, including Botox, Fillers, and Microneedling. Dr. Killen is also enthusiastic about cutting-edge rejuvenating medicine techniques, using Platelet Rich Plasma Natural Growth Factor Injections for skin rejuvenation, hair restoration, urinary incontinence, and sexual dysfunction.

I believe AI is going to radically change healthcare. It already is doing so, with patients challenging their family doctor with ChatGPT analysis of their blood work and scans. Or as I experienced  myself recently, working with AI to discover an obscure allergy in a patient that has kept him unwell for years! But Dr. Brigitte Piniewski is outlining an even more radical change to healthcare - decentralizing health data, owning your health data and benefiting from that data both collectively in our billions as well as individually.

Get her book “Wealthcare” NOW - https://www.alexandriabooks.com/collection/wealthcare

With a career spanning medicine, research, and emerging technologies, she is a leading voice on how AI can move multiple industries forward—provided we overcome the critical limitations of current approaches. As an expert in decentralized AI and trust-based data ecosystems, Dr. Piniewski advocates for aligning AI with humanity by securing access to trusted ground truths—the key to ensuring AI model accuracy and sustainability over time. With a unique blend of clinical expertise, executive leadership, and deep-tech fluency, Dr. Piniewski is shaping the future of AI-driven health intelligence—one where technology serves not just efficiency, but accuracy, equity, and our next wealth inflection. Her seminal book, “Wealthcare: Demystifying Web3 and the Rise of Personal Data Economies”, also available as an NFT, is an essential guide for anyone aiming to spearhead innovations in healthcare.
