Dr. Aaron Hartman is a triple board-certified physician and the founder and owner of Richmond Integrative Medicine, whose path in medicine has never been typical.

It began when he and his wife adopted their daughter Anna, who was born with cerebral palsy along with countless dietary issues. He and his wife were told that their child would never walk, talk, or see. After consulting with multiple specialists, he realized that our current healthcare system does not have all the answers.

His wife refused to give up hope, and she ultimately pointed him to functional medicine. After years of traditional family practice, he felt called to make a dramatic shift. As a result, his daughter and other two kids began to thrive. His daughter is now 19 and thriving.

Dr. Hartman now helps patients identify leverage points in key areas of their lifestyle and health that harness their body's remarkable power to heal and begin living the vibrant life they deserve. He has become the go-to doctor for difficult cases in central Virginia.

Mark Burnett is a former database programmer who turned his problem-solving brain towards his own health after being diagnosed with neurological disorders.

He is also the president of APDI, which stands for Alzheimer, Parkinsons, and Dementia, and the founder and owner of My Brain Restore.

Born in 1958 at Camp Lejeune, Mark made the connection between his long-term symptoms to environmental exposure. He now shares his research-driven approach to brain restoration, system tracking, and resilience under uncertainty.

Mark shares his own journey of dealing with Alzheimer's, Parkinsons, and Dementia, and given no hope for recovery from traditional medicine. Basically, he was given a death sentence, being told that his symptoms would continue to worsen and his level of function would continue to deteriorate until the time of his death.

Mark took matters into his own hands, dedicated himself to relentless research, and ultimately led him to launch My BRAIN RESTORE™, a premium new nutraceutical explicitly developed to support those facing neurological challenges — the same as he does, including his Parkinson's, Alzheimer's (a form of dementia).

He shares his incredible story along with his amazing progress and decrease of his symptoms once he began taking the product, along with the blatant skepticism he received from some of his physicians and other medical professionals. He also describes how he went from being a coach potato to running a marathon for the first time in his life.

Tiffany Newton is on a mission to empower women to recognize the red flags and warning signs of an abusive relationship to prevent them from becoming entangled in one. Seven years after leaving an abusive relationship herself, Tiffany has turned her pain into purpose.

She is the President and Co-Founder of IgniteHer INC, is in the process of pursuing her certification through Gracie Jiu-Jitsu, participates in domestic violence advocacy, serves on the local Sexual Response Teams and Domestic Violence task force. She is also the author of the powerful and informative book titled "Behind The Smile."

Tiffiny shares her own personal story of becoming embroiled in an abusive and controlling relationship as well as the controlling and manipulation that went along with it. She explains how the abuser ingratiates himself (or herself) to his chosen victim, beginning with the slow, insidious process of grooming, which continued to escalate to control, gaslighting, manipulation, and more.

Tiffany describes how she finally reached her limit and her line in the sand, giving her the strength and courage to save herself, her dogs, and walk away from her abuser. She shares valuable information to women (and men) who are embroiled in abusive relationships and regain their autonomy and personal power.

This powerful and educational episode is a must listen and needs to be shared so we can help educate women, girls, and men to identify the warning signs and stop the pervasive pandemic of abuse.
