    Unlock Your Brain's Hidden Potential in Just 7 Minutes a Day

    Mind Thrive Course: Learn more about Amino Acid Therapy ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠here⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠. Special Offer: Use code MINDTHRIVE at checkout to get $1,000 off the course! - - - - -  In this episode of Take Back My Brain, Laurie Hammer talks with Bryan Green, COO of Infinite Mind, about the science and story behind a cognitive training app that has helped over two million people strengthen their brains. Bryan shares the origin of the training methodology — developed 30 years ago in Japan by a double-PhD educator, brought to the U.S. by a founder who struggled with lifelong vision-related reading difficulties, and shaped by Bryan's own experience overcoming being told he was "not smart" in school. The conversation covers how the app combines speed reading, comprehension, vision therapy, and cognitive exercises; how just seven minutes a day can meaningfully increase brain activity; and why environmental overwhelm, screen time, and AI dependence are quietly weakening our cognitive abilities. Bryan also shares anecdotal stories of the program supporting recovery after traumatic brain injury and stroke, helping kids with ADHD stay engaged, and helping everyday users sharpen memory, focus, and reaction time. He closes with a simple challenge: never underestimate the power of your brain, and give it just seven minutes a day. - - - - - About our Guest: Bryan Green is the COO of Infinite Mind, a cognitive training app built on a brain-activation methodology developed over 30 years ago in Japan.

Special Offer: Use code MINDTHRIVE at checkout to get $1,000 off the course! - - - - -  In this episode of Take Back My Brain, Laurie Hammer talks with Sundeep Dugar, co-founder of Blue Oak NX and a 38-year veteran of small molecule drug discovery, about why mitochondria may be the single most overlooked factor in physical and mental health. Sundeep walks through how mitochondrial decline begins in our early twenties, why exercise and nutrition are the two proven levers for mitochondrial function, and how sleep — especially REM sleep — acts as a form of "brain exercise." The conversation moves into mental health, exploring how depression, anxiety, PTSD, and autism may relate to bioenergetic deficits in the brain. Sundeep also shares the origin story of MitoCatalyst: a supplement built around a newly identified steroid the body produces during exercise, designed to signal mitochondrial biogenesis even without physical activity. He's candid about the challenges of measuring mitochondrial function directly and encourages listeners to track their own energy, sleep, and physical capacity over time rather than chasing a single lab number. - - - - - About the Guest: Sundeep Dugar is the co-founder of Blue Oak NX and has over 38 years of experience in small molecule drug discovery and development across oncology, inflammation, central nervous system, cardiovascular, and metabolic disorders. He is the inventor of several best-selling drugs and has spent the last 16 years researching mitochondrial biogenesis, culminating in the discovery of an exercise-induced steroid signal and the development of MitoCatalyst. - - - - - Connect with Sundeep Dugar: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/sundeepdugar/ Website: https://www.blueoaknx.com - - - - -  Connect with Laurie Hammer: Facebook: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.facebook.com/takebackmybrain/#⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠  Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/takebackmybrain/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠   Website: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.lauriehammer.com/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠  Youtube: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/@takebackmybrain9073⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ - - - - - PODCAST Thank you for listening.

Special Offer: Use code MINDTHRIVE at checkout to get $1,000 off the course! - - - - -  In this episode of Take Back My Brain, Laurie Hammer talks with Brian Burzynsky, founder of Intelligent Threads, about frequency-encoded clothing designed to interact with the body's own electrical system — no batteries, plugs, or EMFs required. Brian shares how a 15-year journey led him to identify a signal the body uses to engage and release muscle tension, and how he embedded that frequency into fabric through a process called "molecular fixation." He walks through his product line — from shirts and patches to bed sheets, dog collars, and even a saddle pad — and explains why full-body coverage tends to produce the strongest results. The conversation covers structural compensation patterns in the body, how releasing chronic muscle tension may support healing at a root-cause level, informal HRV and posture testing, and surprising anecdotes from athletes, pet owners, and everyday clients who've tried the technology. - - - - - About the Guest: Brian Burzynsky is the founder of Intelligent Threads, a company that develops frequency-encoded clothing, sheets, patches, and accessories designed to support muscle release and structural alignment. After 15 years of studying the body's mechanical and electrical pathways, he developed a process to embed a frequency-based particle into fabric, aiming to help the body reduce chronic compensation patterns without relying on electricity or external devices. - - - - - Connect with Brian Burzynsky: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/brian-burzynski-it/ Website: https://www.srmethod.com/ Intelligent Threads: https://www.intelligentthreads.com/ - - - - -  Connect with Laurie Hammer: Facebook: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.facebook.com/takebackmybrain/#⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠  Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/takebackmybrain/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠   Website: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.lauriehammer.com/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠  Youtube: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/@takebackmybrain9073⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ - - - - - PODCAST Thank you for listening.

Melissa shares her own story of losing 50 pounds twice: once through restrictive diet culture (which she regained), and a second time by building a lifestyle she's sustained for 15 years. She introduces her Magic Plate Method — a simple way to balance protein, fiber, and carbs that creates a natural calorie deficit without counting anything. The conversation covers why metabolism doesn't actually break with age, how core strength and body recomposition matter more than the scale after 40, why calming the nervous system is essential to releasing weight, and how to build a movement and eating rhythm that fits real motherhood — not an Instagram ideal. - - - - - About the Guest: Melissa Abushackra is a women's nutrition and fitness coach with over 9 years of experience helping women over 40 lose weight sustainably — without keto, fasting, or tracking every single thing, and without guilt. She created the Magic Plate Method, a plating system that gives women food freedom while still supporting fat loss, and works one-on-one with clients to build lifestyles that last rather than short-term diets. - - - - - Connect with Melissa Abushackra: Facebook: https://web.facebook.com/melissaabouchakra/?_rdc=1&_rdr# Website: https://melissafitcoach.com/ Apple Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/the-undieted-podcast/id1782397629 - - - - -  Connect with Laurie Hammer: Facebook: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.facebook.com/takebackmybrain/#⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠  Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/takebackmybrain/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠   Website: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.lauriehammer.com/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠  Youtube: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/@takebackmybrain9073⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ - - - - - PODCAST Thank you for listening.

    He Cured What Antibiotics Couldn't... Using Viruses Already In Your Body

    Mind Thrive Course: Learn more about Amino Acid Therapy ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠here⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠. Special Offer: Use code MINDTHRIVE at checkout to get $1,000 off the course! - - - - -  In this episode of Take Back My Brain, Laurie Hammer interviews Dr. David Jernigan, founder and CEO of Phagen Corp and the Biologic Center of Optimum Health in Franklin, Tennessee, who has treated patients with treatment-resistant chronic illness since 1995. Dr. Jernigan explains phages — naturally occurring, beneficial viruses that live in the human body and kill roughly 40% of the body's bacteria every day. After years of failed attempts to help his own chronically ill wife, he developed induced native phage therapy: an oral supplement that uses electromagnetic signatures to activate a person's own native phages to target specific bacteria, viruses, mold, and even certain autoimmune antibodies. The conversation covers the accelerating failure of antibiotics worldwide, the difference between induced native phage therapy and conventional phage therapy practiced in countries like Georgia and Russia, case studies involving Lyme disease, Epstein-Barr virus, rheumatoid arthritis, and mold exposure, and how the therapy has been used successfully with pets and animals as well as people. Dr. Jernigan also shares the personal story behind the therapy's origin and his hopes for its continued research and expansion. - - - - - About the Guest: Dr. David Jernigan is the founder and CEO of Phagen Corp and the Biologic Center of Optimum Health in Franklin, Tennessee, where he has treated patients with treatment-resistant chronic illness since 1995. He is the developer of induced native phage therapy, a drug-free approach that activates the body's own natural phages to address chronic bacterial, viral, mold, and autoimmune-related illness. Dr. Jernigan has trained internationally in anthroposophical medicine and botanical medicine, authored four books on Lyme disease, and published a 2021 retrospective study in the Cureus Medical Journal documenting outcomes of his phage-based protocol. - - - - - Connect with Dr. David Jernigan: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/drdavidjernigan/ - - - - -  Connect with Laurie Hammer: Facebook: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.facebook.com/takebackmybrain/#⁠⁠⁠⁠  Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/takebackmybrain/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠   Website: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.lauriehammer.com/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠  Youtube: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/@takebackmybrain9073⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ - - - - - PODCAST Thank you for listening.

Special Offer: Use code MINDTHRIVE at checkout to get $1,000 off the course! - - - - -  In this episode of Take Back My Brain, Laurie Hammer interviews Jessica Roman, author of Dying to Thriving and founder of the Christian Health Collective, about her family's journey through a rare and severe genetic diagnosis. Jessica's daughter was born with an ACTG2 genetic mutation affecting her intestines and bladder. After thriving as a breastfed infant, she declined rapidly once solids were introduced — leading to emergency surgeries, intestinal failure, and a recommendation for TPN (IV nutrition), which Jessica describes as damaging to the liver, kidneys, and pancreas. Refusing to accept a grim prognosis, the family turned to the no-plant version of the GAPS diet, a carnivore-based protocol built around meat, organ meat, meat stock, and fermented dairy. Within weeks, Jessica's daughter showed dramatic improvement — and four years later is a thriving, healthy six-year-old. The conversation explores the science and process behind the no-plant GAPS diet, how homemade fermented foods rebuild the microbiome, why raw milk and proper fermentation matter, and how faith carried the family through their darkest moments. - - - - - About the Guest: Jessica Roman is the author of Dying to Thriving and the founder of the Christian Health Collective. After her daughter was born with a rare ACTG2 genetic mutation and faced a life-threatening intestinal failure diagnosis, Jessica turned to the no-plant GAPS diet to help her daughter heal — restoring her health, development, and quality of life. She now works with families around the world, including 16+ families with the same diagnosis and adults facing intestinal failure, helping them use nutrition to support serious chronic and genetic conditions. - - - - - Connect with Jessica Roman: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/chealthcollective/ Shop the Book: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DKG7859G7 - - - - -  Connect with Laurie Hammer: Facebook: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.facebook.com/takebackmybrain/#⁠⁠⁠  Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/takebackmybrain/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠   Website: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.lauriehammer.com/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠  Youtube: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/@takebackmybrain9073⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ - - - - - PODCAST Thank you for listening.

    Why You Can't Heal Until You Learn to Thank Yourself (The Fawn Response Explained)

    Mind Thrive Course: Learn more about Amino Acid Therapy ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠here⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠. Special Offer: Use code MINDTHRIVE at checkout to get $1,000 off the course! - - - - -  In this episode of Take Back My Brain, Laurie Hammer interviews Kamini Wood, a coach who works with high-achieving individuals to help them recognize and interrupt patterns that no longer serve them. Together they discuss the fawn response—a lesser-known survival mechanism alongside fight, flight, and freeze—and how over-functioning and people-pleasing often stem from a nervous system seeking safety rather than a true character trait. Kamini explains how naming these patterns, rather than avoiding or over-identifying with them, allows people to move forward with agency instead of staying in victimhood. The conversation explores whether trauma-informed language is simply a modern trend or a long-overdue vocabulary for experiences that have always existed, and dives deeply into the concept of gratitude toward self—why appreciating who you are, not just what you achieve, is foundational to healing, self-trust, and showing up fully for others. - - - - -  Kamini Wood is a coach and mother of five who works one-on-one with high-functioning, high-achieving individuals—from teenagers through adults—helping them recognize relational patterns that once served them but now keep them stuck. Known as a "pattern interrupter," she blends trauma-informed principles with strengths-based coaching to help clients build self-trust, set healthy boundaries, and reclaim their sense of self. - - - - -  Connect with Kamini Wood: Website: https://www.kaminiwood.com/  Facebook: https://web.facebook.com/itsauthenticme/?_rdc=1&_rdr#  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/itsauthenticme/  Pinterest: https://www.pinterest.com/itsauthenticme/  Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@KaminiWood-itsauthenticme  - - - - -  Connect with Laurie Hammer Facebook: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.facebook.com/takebackmybrain/#⁠⁠ Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/takebackmybrain/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠   Website: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.lauriehammer.com/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠  Youtube: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/@takebackmybrain9073⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ----- PODCAST Thank you for listening.

    The Science Behind Youth Sports Injuries & Athletic Recovery

    In this episode of Take Back My Brain, Laurie Hammer interviews Dr. Taylor Premer, a chiropractor and functional medicine practitioner specializing in helping athletes perform and recover at their highest level. Together they discuss why youth sports injuries are becoming increasingly common, including ACL tears, ankle sprains, Tommy John injuries, and concussions. Dr. Premer explains how overtraining, poor nutrition, inadequate recovery, and underlying health issues often contribute to injuries that many people simply attribute to bad luck. The conversation explores modern sports medicine, the importance of quality sleep, whole-food nutrition, blood work, concussion recovery, movement-based rehabilitation, and why parents should focus on foundational health habits before investing in expensive recovery technologies. They also discuss how parents can create healthy habits at home that support both athletic performance and lifelong wellness. - - - - -  Mind Thrive Course: Learn more about Amino Acid Therapy ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠here⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.
