The Root Cause Reset

You’re not stuck because you’re weak.
You’re stuck because your nervous system is fighting for survival.

In this episode, Dr. Trish sits down with Jim Hall — 40-year fitness coach, Parkinson’s specialist, and alignment-based wellness author — to talk about the real root cause most people miss: chronic, unrelenting stress.

With over 60,000 coaching sessions under his belt, Jim shares why even the most “motivated” people burn out, and how alignment, not willpower, is the missing link for both the everyday weight-loser and the Parkinson’s warrior alike.

If you’ve tried everything and nothing’s sticking — this one’s for you.

In this episode of The Root Cause Reset, Dr. Trish Schneider sits down with Kayzim Suarez of Sure Psychological Services for a powerful conversation about what truly sits beneath behavior, emotional dysregulation, and persistent mental health struggles.

Together, they explore why so many individuals and families feel stuck after “trying everything,” how nervous system overwhelm and relational dynamics often drive symptoms, and why behavior is not the problem—it’s communication.

This episode challenges the quick-fix, symptom-focused approach to mental health and offers a more compassionate, regulated, and sustainable framework for healing—one rooted in understanding, safety, and context rather than blame or labels.

If you’ve ever felt like something deeper was being missed, this conversation will help you finally connect the dots.

We’ve been labeling kids with ADHD, anxiety, and defiance for decades — but what if those “problems” were actually protective responses? In this jaw-dropping episode of The Root Cause Reset, clinical psychologist Dr. Elie Saltzman pulls back the curtain on what’s really going on in your child’s brain — and why the system keeps getting it wrong.

From trauma to toxic school environments, and the mental gymnastics kids are forced to perform just to fit in — this conversation will challenge everything you thought you knew about behavior.

Dr. Saltzman’s work spans therapeutic schools, trauma programs, anti-bullying interventions, and… high school wrestling mats? Yup — and it all connects.

💥 What we cover:

Why behavior is rarely the problem — and what is

The silent trauma cues every parent misses

How to raise regulated, resilient kids in a dysregulated world

The BS behind “bad kids” and what schools keep getting wrong

If you want to stop managing your child’s behavior and start understanding their brain — this episode is your new playbook.

You’re exhausted. Your labs are “normal.” Your doctor says you’re fine — but you know you’re not.

In this powerful episode, Dr. Trish sits down with Board-Certified Nurse Practitioner and Functional Medicine expert Chelsey Leveling], who shares her own story of being failed by conventional care — and how it led her to uncover the deeper answers most providers miss.

Together, they unpack why symptoms like fatigue, anxiety, hormonal imbalance, and chronic bloat are often dismissed, misdiagnosed, or medicated instead of investigated — and what it actually takes to get to the root of what's going on.

In this episode, Pediatric Nurse Practitioner and Mental Health Specialist Melissa Smith exposes how the current system overdiagnoses, overmedicates, and overlooks the real root causes.

In this episode of the Root Cause Reset Podcast, host Trish Schneider talks with Dr. Dorothy Novitskie, a forensic and clinical psychologist, about her journey into forensic psychology, the realities of working in correctional settings, and what her work reveals about trauma, resilience, and human behavior.
