Introduction to Dr. Cynthia Libert and Cognitive Decline Prevention in Asheville

In this episode, host Travis Richardson sits down with Dr. Cynthia Libert, a board-certified family physician, functional medicine practitioner, and cognitive decline prevention specialist in Asheville, NC. Together, they explore how to protect your brain, prevent Alzheimer's disease, and age powerfully from the inside out.

Dr. Libert trained at Loyola University of Chicago, completed her residency in Asheville, and discovered Dr. Dale Bredesen's groundbreaking Alzheimer's prevention framework in 2016 — a moment that transformed her practice.

Introduction to Rachele Scevola and Breathwork as Medicine
In this episode of the Wellness in Asheville Podcast, host Travis Richardson welcomes Rachele Scevola, known as The Breath Nurse, a registered nurse turned breathwork facilitator. 

Rachele shares her journey from critical care nursing to discovering breathwork at a yoga festival, where it transformed her life—providing clarity and courage to leave a high-stress career. 

We explore how breathwork bridges traditional medicine and natural healing, its role in managing stress, anxiety, and burnout, and why it's accessible to everyone as a form of self-empowerment.

Rachele discusses the science behind breathwork, from nervous system regulation to potential hallucinogenic experiences via DMT release, and demystifies misconceptions—it's not always "woo-woo" or intense. 

We dive into practical tips for beginners, the benefits of group sessions for connection and energy amplification, and how breath awareness can integrate into daily life for better sleep, emotional release, and overall wellness. 

Rachele emphasizes simplicity in health, moving away from labels and diagnoses, and reconnecting with nature's rhythms in our tech-driven world.

Key Takeaways:

• Breathwork's origins in pranayama and yoga, and its evolution into modern practices like holotropic or somatic breathing
• How breath acts as a mirror for life, reflecting stress levels and nervous system state
• The transition from allopathic nursing to breathwork: spotting burnout and using breath for personal healing
• Transformative benefits: reduced anxiety, emotional catharsis, increased lung capacity, creativity, and resilience
• Misconceptions: Breathwork isn't just deep breathing—it's intentional, varied, and doesn't require daily practice
• Group vs. individual sessions: The magic of shared energy, community connection, and co-regulation
• Simplicity in wellness: Prioritizing basics like breath, sleep, light exposure, water, air, food, and human connection over gadgets
• Moving away from diagnoses: Treating people holistically, not as labels, to foster innate healing
• Practical techniques: Breath awareness, physiological sighs, box breathing, and setting phone alarms for deep breaths
• Breath's role in longevity: Linking to VO2 max, control pause, and metabolic health

In this episode of the Wellness in Asheville Podcast, host Travis Richardson sits down with Dawn Sagonias, a sound healing practitioner, biologist, and former massage therapist with 25+ years of experience. We explore the fascinating intersection of science, spirituality, and sound—and how vibrations can literally "massage your brain" for healing.

Dawn shares her unique journey from studying music and biology to becoming a certified sound healing practitioner with two retreat spaces in the Asheville area: The Sound Nest in Alexander and Inner Wolf Retreat Space in Mars Hill.

This conversation explores the biological mechanisms behind sound healing (from Emoto's water crystal research to neural pathway creation), how to remember calm after a session, and why regular practice helps create new patterns in the brain. Dawn discusses her science-backed approach influenced by researchers like Tom Kenyon, Joe Dispenza, and Eileen McKusick, plus practical ways to integrate healing into daily life.
