On today’s episode, Trent McEntire teaches us how to "biohack your potential" to improve brain performance, lower stress, improve movement quality, regulate emotions, and more!

For more than 20 years, Trent has been helping those that experience movement challenges and neurological disorders to gain back their mobility – a story he knows well.  Born with a mild form of Cerebral Palsy, Trent was able to repattern his own movement to eliminate the pain and stiffness he experienced daily.  His ability to repair his own body lifted the ceiling, allowing Trent to actively participate in his love of sports and moving on to becoming a professional dancer.

Dr. Kim Bretz ND is a practicing naturopathic doctor with a focus on gut health for over 20 years. On today’s episode, she talks to us about how specific foods and food groups affect our gut and microbiome. And what that means for MS symptoms.

 Dr. Kim Bretz ND is a practicing naturopathic doctor with a focus on gut health for over 20 years. She is an advocate for education, leading continuing education in gut health for many healthcare professionals and is adjunct faculty at the University of Waterloo, Pharmacy School.

Her main area of focus is the microbiota and gastrointestinal health. Dr. Bretz was fortunate to begin working in this area over 10 years ago when the microbiota was in its infancy, and it led to a paradigm shift in her feelings about overall human health and nutrition. Work with patients is a passion for Kim and she has both one-on-one practice and group IBS treatment programs available.

On today’s episode, we talk about the difference between functional yoga and traditional yoga, the vagus nerve, and yoga for grief. Patricia’s approach to yoga is so refreshing as she focuses on functional yoga movements that are doable for anyone with a goal of improving mobility and function in your day to day life.

Patricia Hawley is a registered yoga teacher and has training in Multiple Sclerosis through the National MS Society. A strong proponent in "yoga for every body", Patricia uses a blend of functional movement and traditional asana to empower students to honor the integrity of their own bodies. She teaches several classes - from Gentle Flow to a more vigorous Vinyasa - that rely heavily on functional movement and challenge students to not only seek "how" but to ask "why".
