    From Bobsled Glory to Hyperbaric Hope: William Pearson on TBI, CTE, and Building Access to Healing part 2

    Send us a text What do you do when the “bad days” become your default and medicine only names the symptoms? We sit down with former U.S. bobsledder William Pearson to trace his path from elite performance to a slow, frightening cognitive slide—and the oxygen-fueled pivot that brought his brain back online. William explains how hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) changed his day-one reality: sharper focus, richer colors, steady energy, even a return of senses and drive he thought were gone. We break down the basics—pressure, oxygen delivery via mask, session frequency—and why these protocol details matter for real results. The conversation pulls no punches on the bigger picture. We talk about suicides in sport, the limits of current diagnostics for CTE, and why inflammation and oxygen supply sit at the center of brain energy. William shares the practical roadblocks people hit—sticker shock for sessions and chambers, lack of insurance coverage, and clinics that skip oxygen masks or under-optimize pressure. He also opens up about the pushback he’s faced, the court dynamics around “evaluation without care,” and the personal cost of speaking out when powerful interests would rather keep things quiet. Most importantly, we focus on action. William is building a nonprofit CTE wellness center in St. Louis to deliver affordable HBOT to athletes and veterans who need it. We discuss how lower overhead can increase access, how sport culture must shift toward safer design, and what anyone can do now: revisit diet and stimulants, prioritize sleep and breath, and, where possible, explore HBOT with informed protocols. This is a story about agency, science you can feel, and creating access where the system falls short. If this conversation resonates, subscribe, share it with someone who needs hope, and leave a review with your questions—we’ll bring William back for updates and keep the dialogue moving.

    From Loss to Sanctuary: Marcia Earhart on faith, forgiveness, and rebuilding a family after unthinkable tragedy

    Send us a text Grief can steal your breath, your sleep, and the story you thought your family would live. Our guest, Marcia Earhart, invites us into the raw center of losing two sons—first in a sudden car accident, then, five years later, to murder—and shows how faith, daily surrender, and practical tools can carry us when nothing else makes sense. She shares the quiet rituals that steadied her nights, the way she borrowed strength to be present for her children, and why forgiveness became a discipline that unfolded at different speeds for each family member. We explore how Marcia reframed “broken” into “broken open,” like a seed splitting so new life can rise, and how that insight shapes The Sterling Rose Sanctuary, a healing vision rooted in gardens, rest, and gentle, trauma-aware care. From avoiding video to reduce performance pressure for clients, to designing three- to five-day retreats for families to reset, the approach blends grief counseling, faith-based trauma support, forgiveness practice, and therapeutic horticulture into a grounded roadmap for recovery. Along the way, Marcia explains why she will not tether her peace to a court verdict and how choosing presence over distraction transforms suffering into purpose. If you’re searching for grief support that honors your pace and your faith, you’ll find practical ways to breathe again, quiet rituals for nighttime anxiety, and a hopeful path toward rebuilding identity after loss. Marcia’s book, Gripping Grace in the Garden of Grief: A Place for the Heart, offers companion guidance, and The Sterling Rose Sanctuary welcomes outreach from anyone needing care. Join us, share this story with someone who needs it, and if our work serves you, subscribe, rate, and leave a review to help more people find a way back to life.

    From Bobsled Crashes to Brain Clarity: William Person’s Fight for CTE Healing and Access

    Send us a text The story starts with a crash—but not the kind you see on TV. Former Team USA bobsledder William Person maps the quiet damage of micro-concussions, relentless G-forces, and years of migraines, vertigo, and sensory overload that slowly stole his clarity. Then came one hour in a hyperbaric oxygen chamber. He walked out seeing colors he didn’t know he’d lost—and for the first time in years, the world looked vivid, sharp, and possible. We dig into what that means for athletes and veterans living with CTE symptoms and post-concussion syndrome, translating the science of oxygen, blood flow, and neuroplasticity into clear, practical language. William’s account doesn’t hide the complexity: relief that arrives in windows, rebounds that test resolve, and the discipline required to stack small gains into a life. Along the way, we confront the system that too often says “you’re fine” while athletes fade—legal settlements that offer monitoring without care, research that goes missing in action, and a culture that celebrates speed but ignores the bill it sends to the brain. Out of the fog comes a plan: a nonprofit recovery center that delivers hyperbaric oxygen therapy alongside supportive tools—sleep and light hygiene, anti-inflammatory nutrition, autonomic regulation, vestibular work—free at the point of use. We talk cost barriers, smarter fundraising, and why placing a center in the Midwest can make access real for people who don’t have the means to chase treatment. If you care about brain health, athlete safety, veteran care, or just the kind of hope that proves itself with results, you’ll find a roadmap here—and a reason to act. If this conversation moved you, subscribe, share it with someone who needs it, and leave a review with your biggest takeaway. Your words help this mission reach the people who need it most.

    From Hive to Hedgerow: Building a Truly Potent Elderberry Syrup with Russell Carter

    Send us a text Most elderberry syrups start with water. Ours starts with a farm. We sit down with Russell Carter of Heartland Elderberry Farms to unpack how a beekeeping family scaled from 50 shrubs to tens of thousands of plants—and why using fresh, fast-frozen elderberry juice changes everything from flavor to potency. If you’ve ever wondered why some syrups taste thin or overly sweet, the answer often hides in plain sight on the label: water first, dehydrated imports behind it, and heat steps that cost you nutrients long before a bottle ships. Russell takes us into the field and through the bottling room. He explains American elderberry varieties that fruit on primocanes, the heavy water needs that demand irrigation, and a harvest routine that moves berries from morning picking to afternoon pressing to frozen juice by night. That quick turnaround protects anthocyanins and polyphenols while keeping microbes in check—no preservatives required. We dig into the five-ingredient recipe—elderberry juice, raw farm honey, fresh ginger, Ceylon cinnamon, and star anise—and why thick texture should come from honey, not gums or fillers. The bees matter too: 100% of the honey in the bottle comes from the farm’s 450 hives, closing the loop on flavor, traceability, and quality. On the business side, Russell shares how they partnered with the University of Georgia for shelf-life studies and manufacturing compliance, then graduated from 15-gallon kitchen batches to a 400-gallon tank and an automated filling line—without compromising the harvest-press-freeze rhythm that makes the juice so clean. We also talk distribution choices, from local stores to their website, Amazon, and Walmart.com, and the decision to grow thoughtfully rather than chase mass retail. The practical takeaway is empowering and simple: flip your bottle. If water leads the ingredient list, you’re buying reconstituted fruit. If juice leads, you’re getting the real strength of elderberry. If this conversation resonates, subscribe, share the episode with a friend who loves natural remedies, and leave a review telling us what your label says first. Your feedback helps more people find farm-first, juice-forward elderberry that actually delivers.

    From Newsroom to Reinvention: Jane Hanson on Confidence, Curiosity, and Communicating Well

    Send us a text Ever feel like everyone’s talking and no one’s hearing a thing? We sat down with Emmy-winning journalist and reinvention coach Jane Hanson to unpack how curiosity, presence, and clear delivery can turn noise into connection—and anxiety into confidence. From prairie roots to New York newsrooms, Jane shares why big changes demand new communication muscles and how anyone can build them with intention. We dig into active listening as the real superpower: asking better questions, reflecting what you heard, and creating space for nuance so tension cools and ideas sharpen. Jane explains why first impressions form in seconds and how body language, tone, and pacing outweigh your script. We break down Aristotle’s ethos, logos, pathos in plain English—trust, logic, and emotion—and show how to apply them to pitches, team updates, and even talks with your kids. If your message keeps getting lost, it’s probably not the message; it’s the delivery. You’ll leave with a DIY toolkit: a three-step recording routine to audit your speaking, a simple method to cut filler words by embracing strategic pauses, an eye contact map to engage the whole room, and a storytelling prompt that turns dry data into meaning. Jane’s golf anecdote proves the point—bring real emotion and specific detail, and audiences lean in while your talk gets shorter and clearer. Whether you’re leading a board meeting, returning to office life, or trying to be more present on Zoom, these habits will help you show up with credibility and warmth. Subscribe, share with a friend who wants to communicate with more clarity, and leave a quick review to tell us the one skill you’re committing to improve this week.

    Second Opinions Save Lives with Dr Robert Hoffman

    Send us a text Fear gets loud when cancer enters the room—so we turn up the volume on evidence, agency, and community. Joe shares a raw update from his latest chemo cycle, from brain fog and nausea to the quiet wins of returning strength, and we use that lived reality to ground a bigger conversation: how to choose treatments that are both effective and humane. We unpack why PubMed, peer review, and case studies matter, how to read claims with a skeptic’s eye, and what it looks like to build a plan that balances standard care with thoughtful additions—nutrition, metabolic strategies, and carefully dosed immunotherapy—without closing doors. Dr. Hoffman explains the real menu inside “standard care” and why sequencing matters. Neoadjuvant chemo can buy time and reduce damage; surgery and radiation are tools, not defaults. We contrast this with celebrity “cures” and viral protocols that skip evidence and put patients at risk. The difference isn’t attitude—it’s accountability. Extraordinary claims deserve publication and scrutiny, not soundbites. We also share a cautionary story of a patient whose biomarkers rose after a dose reduction on a targeted drug, underscoring the need for second opinions before changing a stable regimen and the urgency of acting when numbers trend the wrong way. What ties it all together is community. Patients who’ve lived it offer the straightest talk, the best practical tips, and the resolve to keep going. We lean on that network to navigate logistics, expand access to capable clinicians, and maintain hope built on measurable progress. If you’re facing tough choices, let this conversation be your map: ask better questions, verify the data, protect options, and move quickly when the facts change. If this helped you think clearer, follow the show, share it with someone who needs a steadier hand, and leave a review so others can find their footing too.

    Building Ryan House: From Grief to a Movement for Pediatric Respite and Palliative Care

    Send us a text A rare diagnosis shattered a young family’s plans—and then reshaped a nation’s approach to caring for medically fragile children. We sit down with Jonathan Cotter to chart the path from his son Ryan’s SMA diagnosis and sleepless nights in London to discovering Helen House, the world’s first children’s respite and palliative care home. What began as a desperate search for help became a blueprint for dignity: overnight respite that restores parents, supports siblings, and wraps families in expert, compassionate care—at no cost. Back in Arizona, the gap was impossible to ignore. The UK had dozens of children’s respite homes; the US had virtually none. Jonathan and his wife turned their grief and grit into Ryan House, a community-based model with 24/7 nursing, child-life specialists, social workers, and chaplaincy that lets parents be parents again—through hospital scares, small victories, and, when needed, end-of-life moments marked by presence, not panic. Ryan lived years beyond predictions, cracking jokes about being “moldy cheese,” and helped open the doors of the very home that would later hold his final breath. The story doesn’t end there. After Ryan’s death, Jonathan earned an MPH and launched a national coalition—Children’s Respite Homes of America—to tackle the structural barriers that keep families from the care they need. We dig into the policy levers (Medicaid, CMS, licensing), the funding mix beyond philanthropy, and the expanding map of programs: from Oakland and Phoenix to Minneapolis, Chicago, Seattle, and beyond. If you’re a caregiver, clinician, donor, or policymaker, you’ll hear practical steps to bring this model to your city and a reminder that hope isn’t abstract—it’s built, staffed, and sustained. Subscribe for more stories that blend heart with hard-won solutions, share this with someone who needs it, and visit childrensrespitehomes.org to get involved or find a program near you. Your voice can help bring real rest—and real hope—to families who need both.

    From Pain to Possibility: Non-Surgical Spine Care That Works with Dr Brigitte Rozenberg

    Send us a text Back pain doesn’t have to mean a lifetime of injections, “minimally invasive” procedures, and the creeping risk of a second or third surgery. We sit down with Dr. Brigitte Rozenberg, founder and clinical director of Spinatomy Centers, to explore a precise, tech-forward path for herniated discs, sciatica, and degenerative disc disease that helps patients heal without the knife. Drawing from 30+ years of clinical experience, Dr. Rozenberg breaks down a three-phase framework—repair, restore, rebuild—that blends advanced non-surgical spinal decompression, laser therapy, electroanalgesia, softwave stimulation, and strength rebuilding to calm nerves, reduce inflammation, and stabilize the spine for the long term. What sets this approach apart is the sequence and the specificity. Every plan begins with accurate diagnosis and MRI-informed programming so decompression targets the exact level causing pain. From there, high-tech modalities work in concert: decompression to relieve pressure on the nerve root, photobiomodulation and electroanalgesia to accelerate tissue repair and dial down pain signaling, and regenerative softwave inputs to spark local healing. Finally, focused strengthening addresses muscle atrophy and core stability so patients don’t slide back into the same patterns that created the problem. It’s a system that respects the sensitive anatomy of the spine while giving the body a real chance to heal. We also talk about a growing shift in patient mindset since COVID—more curiosity, more second opinions, and a greater appetite for safest-first care. Surgery still has a place for red flags and severe deficits, but for many patients, a measured, non-surgical pathway offers better odds and fewer tradeoffs. Dr. Rozenberg shares how Spinatomy standardized this protocol across multiple Los Angeles–area locations and why she’s focused on helping other clinicians adopt it nationwide. If you’re weighing options for disc pain or exploring alternatives to repeat procedures, this conversation offers a clear map to make informed choices and reclaim daily life. If this resonates, follow the show, share it with someone who needs a second path, and leave a quick review so more people can find these tools.
