Water is the most fundamental element of human life — yet it may be the most misunderstood.

In this episode of Vibe Science, Ryan Alford welcomes Mario Brainovic, CEO and co-founder of Analemma Water, for a deep dive into the science of water coherence and why water quality goes far beyond filtration.

Mario explains why 99% of all molecules in the human body are water, how water behaves as an electromagnetic system, and why most modern water exists in a chaotic state that doesn’t optimally support biology. Drawing from nearly two decades of research and multiple double-blind studies, Mario shares evidence showing changes in brainwave coherence, mitochondrial energy production, and cellular vitality when people consume coherent water.

The conversation explores how water impacts ATP, brain function, aging, and overall resilience — and why hydration may be the most overlooked lever in wellness.

• Why “water is water” is a myth

• The difference between chaotic and coherent water

• Brainwave studies and instant neurological effects

• ATP, mitochondria, and cellular energy

• Why filtration alone doesn’t solve the problem

• Listening to thirst and hydration intuition

• Simple ways to improve foundational health

This episode reframes hydration as a core wellness strategy, not a background habit.

Cancer is a word that instantly brings fear — but what happens after diagnosis matters just as much.

In this episode of Vibe Science, Ryan Alford welcomes Philippa Leseberg, author of His Name Is Eric, for a deeply personal conversation about food, chemicals, healing, and reclaiming control of your health. Philippa shares how decades of organic living shaped her understanding of wellness, and how her husband’s stage-four cancer diagnosis led them to explore alternative treatments alongside conventional care.

From pesticide exposure and inflammation to hyperbaric therapy, IV vitamin C, energy healing, and simple daily practices, Philippa walks through what she’s learned about prevention — and why modern medicine doesn’t always address root causes.

This episode covers:

• The hidden impact of non-organic food

• How fear affects healing outcomes

• Why inflammation deserves more attention

• Practical prevention strategies anyone can start today

• The emotional and energetic side of illness

• Choosing empowerment over helplessness

This conversation isn’t about rejecting medicine — it’s about expanding awareness, asking better questions, and taking responsibility for everyday health choices.

• Prevention starts with food and lifestyle

• Organic eating reduces chemical exposure

• Inflammation plays a critical role in disease

• Healing is physical, emotional, and energetic

• Small daily habits compound into long-term health

Movement doesn’t have to be complicated — it just has to be intentional.

In this episode of Vibe Science, host Ryan Alford sits down with Lara Heimann, physical therapist and founder of LIT Yoga, to explore how smarter movement — not longer workouts — leads to better health, mobility, and longevity.

Lara explains why the body responds to movement like physics, how the nervous system influences strength and flexibility, and why many traditional yoga and stretching practices fall short. Drawing from decades of experience in physical therapy and neuroscience, she reframes yoga as a functional, accessible, and empowering practice for all bodies.

This conversation is especially powerful for people who:

• Feel “too stiff” or “not flexible enough” for yoga

• Don’t have an hour a day to work out

• Want to move better as they age

• Care about injury prevention and nervous system health

• Why just 20 minutes of movement can create lasting change

• How dynamic, weight-bearing movement hydrates joints and fascia

• The difference between temporary stretching and real mobility

• Why starting on the ground improves strength and coordination

• How movement reshapes the brain-body connection

• What it actually means to “age well”

Lara also shares how her LIT Yoga methodology was born from working with neurologically impaired patients — and how those same principles can help everyday people move with more confidence, resilience, and ease.

What if healing starts with feeling safe in your body?

In this powerful episode of Vibe Science, we sit down with Dr. Dave Rabin, neuroscientist, psychiatrist, and Chief Medical Officer of Apollo Neuroscience, to explore why modern mental health treatments are falling short — and what science already knows that most people don’t.

Dr. Rabin breaks down the neuroscience of stress, PTSD, and recovery, explaining how soothing touch, vibration, music, and safety signals directly regulate the nervous system. He also dives deep into the controversial FDA rejection of MDMA-assisted therapy and why non-drug solutions like Apollo Neuro are becoming critical tools for healing.

This conversation bridges hard science and human connection, revealing why loneliness, chronic stress, and disconnection may be the biggest public health crisis of our time — and how we can actually fix it.

Why traditional PTSD medications only work for ~30% of people

How MDMA-assisted therapy achieves up to 88% response rates

The FDA’s controversial MDMA decision explained

How the autonomic nervous system controls healing

Why “feeling safe” is the gateway to recovery

The science behind Apollo Neuro’s vibration therapy

Chronic pain doesn’t come from one place — and it can’t be healed in isolation.

In this episode of Vibe Science, we sit down with Vinny Crispino, founder of Pain Academy, to unpack his journey from elite Division I swimmer to a life-altering back injury that forced him to rethink everything he knew about healing.

After years of surgeries, rehab protocols, and specialists that focused only on the injury, Vinny discovered that true healing required a broader approach — one that integrates movement, nervous system regulation, emotional awareness, and whole-body function.

This episode explores:

Why pain often lingers long after injuries “heal”

The limits of Western medicine — and where it shines

How emotional stress shows up physically in the body

Why compensation patterns create chronic pain cycles

The power of awareness in reconnecting mind and body

How healing pain often transforms relationships and quality of life

Vinny shares why pain is not a flaw — but feedback — and how learning to listen to your body can unlock physical freedom and emotional clarity.

If you’ve ever felt stuck, broken, or afraid to move again, this conversation offers a radically empowering perspective.

Keep up with Vinny!
