    John Hopkins – Dying to Live With Purpose, Facing Mortality, and Designing a Life With No Regrets

    What if thinking about death could actually help you live a fuller, more meaningful life? In this episode of The Dr. K Show, Dr. K sits down with John Hopkins, a former filmmaker turned Life & Death Guide, to explore how confronting mortality can dissolve fear, unlock purpose, and radically reshape the way we live. John shares how near-death experiences, panic attacks, and sitting with people at the end of life led him to discover that our deepest anxieties are rooted in the unspoken fear of death. This powerful conversation dives into why Western culture avoids mortality, how that avoidance fuels regret and fear-based decision-making, and why most people reach the end of life wishing they had truly lived. You’ll learn practical tools—including mortality meditation, reverse-engineering your life from the end, and facing fear head-on—to help you live with clarity, courage, and fewer regrets, starting now. Key Takeaways: 0:00 Introduction and why facing death changes how we live 3:10 John’s near-death experiences and panic attacks as a wake-up call 6:20 Why fear of death sits beneath all other fears 10:30 Western culture’s avoidance of mortality and its consequences 14:20 The shocking truth: most people die with major regrets 17:45 Common end-of-life regrets and what people wish they’d done 22:10 Mortality meditation and learning to live with gratitude 26:40 Reverse-engineering your life from the end to avoid regret 31:30 Stepping toward fear as the path to purpose and alignment 35:50 Living fully now instead of waiting for “someday” Resources Mentioned: Dying to Live With Purpose – https://www.livepurpose.co Reverstory (AI life reflection tool) – https://www.livepurpose.co Medical Disclaimer: This content is for educational purposes only and is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or replace professional medical advice.

    Dr. Monisha Bhanote: #CellCare™ for Modern Life & Travel—Gut Health, Immunity, Brain Fog, Mitochondria, and Recovery

    Dr. Michael Karlfeldt is joined by Dr. Monisha Bhanote, MD, ABOIM, FCAP—a 5x board-certified physician, bestselling author of The Anatomy of Wellbeing, and founder of the WELLKULÅ Institute. Known for her signature philosophy #CellCare™, Dr. Bhanote helps people move from survival mode into cellular alignment—where energy returns, clarity sharpens, and resilience becomes a way of life. In this episode, Dr. Bhanote shares a powerful story from her pathology training—an autopsy that changed how she understood disease, prevention, and what it truly means to “take care of your cells.” Together, she and Dr. Karlfeldt break down the five major physiologic stressors of travel and modern life—digestion, immunity, cognition/focus, mitochondrial energy, and recovery—and the practical tools that can help you stay well on the move. You’ll hear actionable strategies like using bitters, ginger water, and CCF tea (cumin, coriander, fennel) for digestion; prioritizing daylight exposure to reset circadian rhythm; and supportive botanicals like bacopa, gotu kola, and holy basil for focus and stress resilience. Whether you travel frequently, commute daily, or simply feel depleted by modern life, this conversation reframes “wellness” into something tangible and teachable: how your everyday choices shape your cellular function—and how small shifts can protect your gut, strengthen immunity, reduce brain fog, and restore energy.

    The MVX Plus Blood Test & the “Forgotten” Vitamin: Dr. Darren Schmidt on Reversing Chronic Illness with Nutrition

    Dr. Darren Schmidt, D.C. isn’t chasing health fads—he’s reviving forgotten truths of medicine and pairing them with today’s most advanced testing. As founder of the Nutritional Healing Center of Ann Arbor (one of the nation’s largest non-insurance nutrition clinics), he’s spent 30+ years helping tens of thousands of people resolve complex chronic issues using diet, supplements, detox strategies, and precise tracking. In this episode, Dr. Schmidt shares the personal health crises that shaped his clinical breakthroughs—being poisoned by insecticide in 1991, nearly taken out by toxic mold in 2016, and surviving a dangerous gas leak in 2024. He walks through his practical “7-Step Blueprint to Optimal Health,” explaining why sequence matters (diet → energy/mitochondria → drainage → parasites/cleanout → detox → deeper infections like Lyme → optimization). You’ll also hear about MVX Plus, an affordable blood test he calls a game-changer for monitoring inflammation, infection, toxicity, malnutrition, and mitochondrial dysfunction—helping patients and practitioners pinpoint what’s actually driving symptoms and track progress every 6–8 weeks. Finally, Dr. Schmidt makes a strong case for a “secret weapon” nutrient many people overlook: vitamin B1 (especially the fat-soluble forms). From breathing and circulation to nerve function, sleep, blood pressure, and neuropathy, he explains why B1 can be a turning point—and how to trial it intelligently while also identifying why the deficiency happened in the first place (diet, mold, parasites, toxic exposure, and more). Key Topics Covered Dr. Darren Schmidt’s real-world health crises: insecticide poisoning, toxic mold exposure, and a prolonged gas leakWhy detox and recovery can take longer than expected (including multi-year timelines)The “7-Step Blueprint to Optimal Health” and why the order of steps mattersHow parasites can “hold” toxins and microbes, and why clearing them can unlock stalled healingMVX Plus explained: what it measures and how it guides clinical decision-makingUsing MVX-style tracking to spot missed infections (e.g., hidden dental/root canal issues) and course-correct protocolsThe mitochondria connection: why cellular energy is the foundation of healing vs. symptom managementVitamin B1 (benfotiamine/TTFD): what it supports (nerves, oxygen delivery, CO₂ handling, mitochondrial pathways)Practical guidance for trialing B1, including temporary worsening and how to interpret itWhy nutrition and supplementation can’t be “outsourced” to medications when it comes to long-term restoration ____________________________________ If you're ready to expand your mind, elevate your health, and awaken your full potential, subscribe now and join the revolution in conscious living with The Dr. K Show! ____________________________________ CONNECT WITH DR.

  5. Dr. Nathan S. Bryan: The “Nitric Oxide Deficiency” Clues Behind High Blood Pressure, Insulin Resistance & Cognitive Decline

    JAN 16

    Dr. Nathan S. Bryan: The “Nitric Oxide Deficiency” Clues Behind High Blood Pressure, Insulin Resistance & Cognitive Decline

    Dr. Nathan Bryan, Ph.D. is an international leader in molecular medicine and a pioneer in nitric oxide research. He’s the founder of Bryan Therapeutics, Nitric Oxide Innovations LLC, Pneuma Nitric Oxide (now N1o1.com), and Bryan Nitriceuticals (No2u.com). Dr. Bryan was the first to describe nitrite and nitrate as indispensable nutrients for optimal cardiovascular health, and the first to demonstrate an endocrine function of nitric oxide via S-nitrosoglutathione and inorganic nitrite. His nitric oxide technology is validated in six published clinical trials, and he has authored or edited six books alongside publishing highly cited scientific papers. In this episode of The Dr. K Show, Dr. Bryan explains why nitric oxide—an ultra-short-lived gas—became so important it reshaped modern cell signaling and vascular biology. You’ll learn how nitric oxide supports blood vessel dilation, oxygen delivery, mitochondrial function, inflammation control, immune regulation, and even stem-cell mobilization for repair. He also breaks down a practical “symptom hierarchy” that can signal declining nitric oxide production: sexual dysfunction, rising blood pressure, insulin resistance, exercise intolerance, and cognitive decline—framing Alzheimer’s as a vascular-metabolic condition tied to chronic low nitric oxide. You’ll also hear a compelling discussion on why modern lifestyle factors can sabotage nitric oxide pathways—high-sugar diets, antiseptic mouthwash, fluoride exposure, and acid-blocking medications—and what to do instead (nutrition, movement, fasting/autophagy, and sunlight). For those who want to go deeper, Dr. Bryan shares where to find his work and technology at N1o1.com, No2u.com, and on Amazon, along with his book The Secret of Nitric Oxide: Bringing the Science to Life. Key Topics Covered What nitric oxide is and why it’s essential for circulation, oxygen delivery, and performanceHow a gas-based signaling molecule changed the paradigm of cell signalingThe role of nitric oxide in mitochondria, energy production (ATP), and metabolic healthWhy nitric oxide loss may be an early driver of vascular inflammation and chronic diseaseThe “symptom hierarchy” of nitric oxide deficiency: sexual dysfunction → high BP → insulin resistance → exercise intolerance → cognitive declineOral microbiome pathway: dietary nitrate → nitrite → nitric oxide (and why mouthwash can disrupt it)Lifestyle disruptors: high sugar/carbs, fluoride exposure, antiseptic mouthwash, and acid-blocking drugsWhy Dr. Bryan challenges cholesterol-centric approaches and critiques statins from a risk/benefit perspectivePractical strategies to support nitric oxide: diet quality, exercise, fasting/autophagy, and sunlightDr. Bryan’s nitric oxide technology and where to learn more (N1o1.com, No2u.com, Amazon) ____________________________________ If you're ready to expand your mind, elevate your health, and awaken your full potential, subscribe now and join the revolution in conscious living with The Dr. K Show! ____________________________________ CONNECT WITH DR.

    Dr. Patrick K. Porter is a brain health pioneer, award-winning author, and the creator of BrainTap®—a neurotechnology platform used by over 120,000 individuals, pro athletes, and 3,000+ clinics worldwide. In this episode, Dr. Porter shares the personal story that launched his four-decade mission into brainwave training and self-mastery—plus why he believes brain fitness is foundational for clarity, resilience, and real healing. Together, we explore how stress, sleep, and perception shape the nervous system—and how simple, repeatable practices can help “upgrade” your internal energy and recovery. Dr. Porter breaks down practical breathwork tools you can use immediately (psychological sigh in the morning, box breathing mid-day, and a 4–8 style downshift at night), explains why restorative relaxation is missing from modern life, and shares how consistent nervous system “reboots” can improve performance, mood, and sleep quality. He also discusses the role of frequency, light, and guided mental training—plus how BrainTap sessions are designed to help downregulate stress and support recovery. If you’ve felt stuck in fight-or-flight, overwhelmed by modern life, or curious about consciousness, brainwave entrainment, and what it really takes to build resilience—this conversation offers a refreshing blend of science, lived experience, and actionable steps to start changing your state today. Key Topics Covered Dr. Porter’s origin story: how meditation and relaxation helped his father stop drinking—and sparked a lifelong missionBrainwave states (beta vs. alpha/theta) and how shifting state can support relaxation, pain relief, and recoveryWhy the modern brain isn’t designed for modern living—and what “restorative relaxation” is missing todayConsciousness as a “field” and how perception, beliefs, and stress can shape your experience and biologyStress capacity vs. “getting rid of stress”: building resilience instead of chasing stress-free livingPractical breathwork protocols: psychological sigh (AM), box breathing (midday reset), longer exhales for nighttime downregulationSleep as a necessity (not a luxury): deep sleep and REM as foundations for brain detox + mental resilienceThe “default mode network” and why many people struggle with meditation when negative loops kick inLifestyle pillars for brain energy: movement, breathing, nutrition, community, and reducing tech-driven overstimulationBrainTap® overview: guided sessions designed to help downregulate the nervous system and support specific wellness goals ____________________________________ If you're ready to expand your mind, elevate your health, and awaken your full potential, subscribe now and join the revolution in conscious living with The Dr. K Show! ____________________________________ CONNECT WITH DR.

    The Truth About Hair Transplants with Dr. Brett Bolton: MaxHarvest™, FUE Myths, and What Actually Works

    Dr. Brett Bolton is a Fort Lauderdale–based hair transplant surgeon, founder of Great Hair Transplants, and creator of the advanced MaxHarvest™ technique. With 28 years dedicated exclusively to hair restoration and 822 verified five-star reviews, Dr. Bolton has built an international reputation for high-density, natural-looking results—often in a single session. In this episode of The Dr. K Show, Dr. Michael Karlfeldt sits down with Dr. Bolton to unpack what most people get wrong about hair loss and why choosing the right surgeon can make the difference between a life-changing outcome and an expensive mistake. You’ll hear a candid breakdown of the “Wild West” of hair restoration, including why so many patients end up needing corrective surgery, what’s really happening in many high-volume clinics, and how tissue handling, graft survival, and artistic placement determine whether hair grows naturally—or not at all. Dr. Bolton explains the genetic drivers of male-pattern and female-pattern hair loss, how DHT miniaturizes follicles, and why proper diagnosis and stabilization (like FDA-approved options such as finasteride and minoxidil) matters before any procedure. He also shares his strong opinions on popular add-ons like PRP and why he believes they don’t deliver meaningful results for most patients. Whether you’re noticing early thinning, considering a hair transplant, or trying to avoid a bad outcome, this conversation equips you with clear, practical insight—so you can make confident decisions, protect your donor hair, and understand what “quality” really means in hair restoration. Key Topics Covered Why hair transplants are often “corrective surgery” after poor first resultsWhat makes a hair transplant look natural: angles, hairline design, and placement strategyThe “Wild West” problem: who’s actually performing parts of procedures in some clinicsFUE vs. strip and the real tradeoffs patients should understandDr. Bolton’s MaxHarvest™ approach and why he uses a combination of graft sizesGraft viability: tissue handling, hydration, timing, and blood supply fundamentalsThe true root cause of most male hair loss: genetics, DHT, and follicle miniaturizationFemale hair loss: pattern recognition, hormonal influences, and why diagnosis mattersFDA-approved support: finasteride and minoxidil as stabilization toolsWhy “price shopping” (including medical tourism) can cost you donor hair and time ____________________________________ If you're ready to expand your mind, elevate your health, and awaken your full potential, subscribe now and join the revolution in conscious living with The Dr. K Show! ____________________________________ CONNECT WITH DR.
