    Why Healing Fails Without Human Connection, Movement, and Training

    What happens when medicine focuses more on numbers than people? In this episode of the E-Motion Wellness Podcast, the conversation centers on a critical gap in modern healthcare: the separation of physical health, mental health, and human connection. Rather than chasing lab values or diagnoses alone, this discussion explores what actually helps people feel like themselves again. The episode dives into: -Why patients don’t come in worried about lab numbers — they come in scared, in pain, and feeling disconnected from who they are -How trust, rapport, and being truly seen change outcomes more than prescriptions alone -Why physiology is foundational to healing — and how movement, regulation, and training restore function -The difference between treating symptoms and training capacity -Why traditional medicine often misses functional decline, inflammation, and lived experience -How mental health, physical health, nutrition, sleep, and behavior must be addressed together -Why people don’t need more rules — they need education, access, and agency -How identity changes when action creates new evidence -Why healing is not a one-time treatment, but an ongoing training process This episode reframes care around function, relationship, and physiology, showing why lasting recovery and health require more than insight or data alone. Healing doesn’t happen in isolation. It happens when people are seen, supported, and trained — physically, mentally, and emotionally.

    Episode 2: Exercise Is Medicine (And Why Therapy Alone Can’t Compete)

    Series: Mental Illness or Evolutionary Mismatch What if one of the most powerful mental health treatments we have has been hiding in plain sight—downgraded to a “nice-to-have” lifestyle tip? In this episode, the founder of e-motion wellness makes the case that exercise isn’t an adjunct to mental health care—it’s a primary neurological intervention. We break down why talk therapy, by itself, often hits a ceiling, and how movement changes the brain in ways insight alone simply can’t. This is a physiology-first conversation that challenges the traditional therapy model and reframes mental illness, addiction, and recovery through the lens of neuroscience, stress tolerance, and identity. In this episode, you’ll learn: Why exercise changes baseline brain state, not just moodHow movement increases BDNF, regulates dopamine, and reduces inflammationWhy addiction is a reward-system problem—and how exercise helps recondition itThe overlooked role of “healthy suffering” in recoveryHow repeated action reshapes self-concept faster than insightWhy the mental health system minimizes exercise (and who it actually serves)How therapy becomes dramatically more effective when the body is regulatedWhy this has nothing to do with fitness—and everything to do with nervous system trainingIf you’ve ever wondered why more therapy doesn’t always equal better outcomes—or why motivation magically appears after action, not before—this episode connects the dots. Mental health isn’t just something you understand. It’s something you train.

    Episode 1: Mental Illness or Evolutionary Mismatch? Founder Interview – e-motion wellness

    We’ve never had more therapy, medications, diagnoses, or “mental health awareness.” So why are outcomes getting worse? In the opening episode of this series, the founder of e-motion wellness makes an uncomfortable—but evidence-based—argument: we don’t have a mental health treatment shortage, we have a model problem. Modern care keeps aiming at thoughts and narratives while ignoring the biological state driving them. This episode reframes anxiety, depression, and addiction not as personal failures or broken minds—but as predictable nervous system adaptations to a modern environment our biology was never built for. In this episode, you’ll learn: Why more treatment does not automatically mean better mental health outcomesHow behavior follows physiological state—not conscious thoughtWhy we’re treating mental distress like a software issue when it’s a hardware problemWhat it actually means to run Stone Age nervous systems in a hyper-stimulating modern worldHow anxiety, depression, and addiction can be understood as adaptive responsesWhy understanding biology rapidly dissolves shameWhat the traditional mental health system consistently ignoresHow a physiology-first model changes recovery, resilience, and self-conceptThis is the foundation of the Mental Illness or Evolutionary Mismatch series—and the lens through which every episode that follows builds. If you’ve ever felt like treatment made you more self-aware but not more stable, this conversation explains why. You’re not broken. You’re human in the wrong environment. And adaptability can be trained.

    Medicine can tell you what’s wrong. Lifestyle tells you how to fix it.

    In this episode, Dr. Davilla brings a powerful, real-world perspective to modern healthcare — blending internal medicine with exercise science, discipline, and lived experience. With a background that spans clinical medicine, exercise physiology, sports nutrition, military service, and competitive bodybuilding, Dr. Davilla bridges science and performance in a way few physicians do. This conversation explores why lifestyle medicine shouldn’t be an afterthought — but a front-line intervention built on movement, nutrition, structure, and accountability. This episode is for anyone who believes health isn’t inherited — it’s built. #wellnessforlife #modernhealthcare #clinicalmedicine #nutrition #movementismedicine

    Chasing Acceptance, Finding Purpose: Edward Starr’s Story

    Edward Starr grew up on the West Side of San Antonio, searching for acceptance he never felt he had earned. What started as chasing validation through the gym led him into steroids, a destructive lifestyle, and eventually addiction. His life unraveled—bars, strip clubs, selling drugs, the Army--an other-than-honorable discharge, homelessness, prison, and years of feeling trapped in shame and self-hatred. Everything began to change when he met the woman who saw the good in him that he couldn’t see in himself. With support, growth, and guidance from the people at E-Motion Wellness, Edward finally learned to walk in his values, accept himself, and live with purpose. Today he’s a devoted husband, father, mentor, and community member—living proof that healing, connection, and self-belief can transform a life.

Eddie’s mission is simple but powerful: to create a safe place for teens struggling with substance abuse and mental health challenges.

It’s fueled by one of his greatest passions: pizza. As part of the program, Eddie teaches teens how to make pizza from scratch — a skill that brings joy, creativity, teamwork, and confidence. It’s more than a recipe; it’s a reminder that growth happens one small step (or one slice) at a time. Eddie openly shares his own journey through life and recovery — the struggles, the turning points, and the victories — because he knows how powerful it is for young people to see someone who has walked the hard road and made it through. His story gives teens hope that they can rise above their circumstances too. The clubhouse is more than a building. It’s a beacon of community.It’s a place for second chances. It’s a reminder that no one has to struggle alone. Eddie Fischer and the How U Doin Foundation are changing lives — one teen, one story, and one pizza at a time.

    New Episode Drop: A Conversation I’ve Wanted to Have for a Long Time

    This week on the podcast, my wife joins me for one of the most meaningful conversations we’ve ever shared publicly. We talk about her mindset and resilience during the hardest chapter of our lives—my heart transplant—and what it looked like for her to hold everything together while also protecting her own mental and emotional health. She opens up about: ❤️ Resilience through crisis — how she stayed grounded, hopeful, and strong when everything around us felt uncertain. 🧠 The mindset shift she had to make from “caretaker” to “partner fighting alongside me.” 🛑 Healthy boundaries — the ones she learned to set so she didn’t lose herself while supporting me. 💬 Al-Anon and accountability — how attending meetings changed the way she showed up during my addiction, and how her tough love and consistency played a real part in my sobriety. 🤝 What partnership looks like under pressure, and how we rebuilt trust, communication, and connection on the other side. Her perspective is powerful, honest, and full of the kind of wisdom you only earn by walking through fire and coming out stronger. If you’ve ever loved someone through illness, addiction, recovery, or major life upheaval—this conversation will speak to you. #ResilienceInLove #HealingTogether #PartnershipUnderPressure #RecoveryAndRelationship
