  • UPDATED WEEKLY

When Dr. Neel was walking around, pondering the challenges that seem to be running rampant in our era - feeding issues with infants, airway issues with kids and adults, and tension in seemingly everyone's nervous systems and bodies, he uttered aloud the question, "How are we going to help everyone go from a compromised airway to an alchemized airway?" And once he said that aloud, his wife suggested omitting the word "airway" to broaden the phrase, and it resonated. It's the homage to Paulo Coelho's brilliant book, The Alchemist, that of alchemy, that seems fitting in characterizing this journey many families seem to find themselves on. It's a rigorous process at times to access healing and a non-linear one. This lead-turning-into-gold process can be daunting, and it takes a village. On this podcast, Dr. Neel carries engaging conversations with healers who have guided others through challenging moments - ones that can hold the paradoxical tension of pain and joy all at once. In the 1st season, Dr. Neel focused on interviewing experts in the fields of birth psychology and embodied embryology, and in the 2nd season, he focuses on those who journey with families from birth onward.

    77. Psychoneuroimmunomusicology

    In this unique solo episode, of the Compromised to Alchemized podcast, I reflect on a month of profound growth, certainty, and clinical breakthroughs. I introduce a concept I first conceptualized nearly two decades ago: Psychoneuroimmunomusicology. I reflect on the evolution of my craft (clinical expertise and manual therapy) and my passion (music and creative expression). By combining these, I am developing a new framework for health that moves beyond traditional boundaries. This episode serves as the first installment of exploring how sound, frequency, and movement intersect with the nervous and immune systems to facilitate deep healing.

    In today’s episode I am broadcasting from Dr. Tanya Altmann’s vibrant Calabasas office. This episode focuses on the power of professional collaboration, exploring how an integrative pediatric perspective combined with advanced manual therapy can solve complex health puzzles for children and families. I also share major updates on my recent speaking engagements, new educational webinars, and my latest NuCalm audio tracks designed to facilitate a full-body "Phase Shift". We explore the powerful intersection of traditional pediatrics and manual therapy and discuss how "village-style" collaboration can solve persistent health issues that often fly under the radar. From chronic ear fluid in frequent-flying toddlers to "goopy" tear ducts in newborns, this episode breaks down how upstream physical restrictions—like tongue ties or kidney misalignments—can manifest as downstream medical symptoms. Check out her formal interview, “71. The Broader Scope of Healthcare with Pediatrician, Innovator, and Advocate Dr. Tanya Altmann”. Dr. Tanya is trusted by the world’s leading health brands as a strategic advisor, helping them in product development, developing regulatory-compliance messaging, and navigating health communications during critical product launches and pivots.

    74. The Alchemy of Presence with Michael Gungor

    In this episode, Michael Gungor (musician, author, and philosopher) joins me, Dr. Neel Bulchandani, to discuss the subtleties and layers of creative and spiritual life. From the "Eddies" of our personality to the "Hurricane" of our emotions, Michael and I explore how to move from a state of lack and "torsional debt" into a life of integrated presence. This episode explores the intersection of music, the Enneagram, somatic healing, and the profound simplicity of "being here." Michael Gungor is a creative mystic living in Pasadena, California. Primarily known for his music, Gungor is the co-founder and primary songwriter of the eclectic indie band Gungor. The group's acclaimed albums blend elements of folk, rock, electronic, and world music, with Gungor's thoughtful, introspective lyrics exploring the divinity of the human experience. Gungor began his musical career writing worship music for the church, inspired by his Christian upbringing. However, as his own spiritual perspective expanded and evolved, so too did his artistic experimentation. Aside from his work under his musical moniker, Gungor, Michael has also released three ambient instrumental albums with his friend and bandmate Tyler Chester as “On Earth”, as well as an experimental side project called “Weiwu.” Beyond his music, Gungor is also the co-founder of the popular The Liturgists podcast, which brings together diverse guests for honest, thought-provoking conversations about faith, science, art, and the nature of the divine. He also has a second podcast exclusively focused on non dual spirituality called “Loving This.” In addition to his musical and podcast endeavors, Gungor has co-written songs for other artists, produced records, and created music for film and television. He is also an author, having published a book in 2010 titled "THIS: Becoming Free." An acclaimed live performer, Gungor and his band have toured extensively, building a devoted fanbase around the world. His music has earned him multiple Grammy nominations and numerous other accolades, cementing his status as a unique and influential creative force.

    73. How to Align Consciousness with Unconsciousness with Jesse Coomer

    In this long awaited episode of the Compromised to Alchemized podcast, I sit down with breathwork expert and author Jesse Coomer to explore the "anatomy of consciousness" and the evolution of human connection. As "Xennials," we look back at the technological shift of the late '90s, the Y2K hysteria, and how growing up in a world of dial-up modems shaped their unconscious perspective on change and resilience. We dive deep into the "inner universe," discussing the relationship between the conscious and unconscious mind, and why getting to know yourself often requires a circle of honest friends. We explore the massive shifts in human history, from the discovery of fire to the rise of artificial intelligence. When we invented fire, we outsourced digestion. By cooking our food, we freed up biological energy, altered our facial structures, and created the "lunch hour"—ultimately building civilization in the time we used to spend chewing. Now, as "Xennials" standing on the precipice of the AI revolution, we are undergoing a second great outsourcing: The outsourcing of thinking. Jesse discusses the critical need for a new "language of breath" to keep our conscious and unconscious minds in alignment. We transcend the mechanics of the body to explore the vast "emotional landscape" of human potential. Jesse delves into his "Personal Legend"—a concept inspired by Paulo Coelho’s The Alchemist—revealing that his purpose isn’t to be the hero of the story, but the "Yoda" or "Big Brother" who guides others to their own treasure. Jesse Coomer is a renowned breathwork authority, founder of the Breathwork Tactics program, author of numerous influential breathwork books, educational Youtuber, and as co-founder & lead faculty at The Language of Breath Breathworker School, he trains future breathwork coaches. Jesse’s scientifically grounded approach to breath training caters to a diverse audience, including first responders, athletes, and CEOs. His programs enhance focus, decision-making, and overall well-being, offering specialized techniques for stress management, performance improvement, and recovery. His evidence-based methods set a high standard in breathwork, reflecting a commitment to excellence that has profoundly impacted countless lives, helping individuals achieve both personal and professional success.

    In this episode of the Compromised Alchemized podcast I am joined by Meredith Oke, the founder of the Quantum Biology Collective (QBC) and the Institute of Applied Quantum Biology. Meredith shares her journey from a high-stakes media career—interviewing Hollywood A-listers like Gwyneth Paltrow—to a "double tap on the shoulder" from the universe that led her into the world of quantum health. After battling chronic fatigue that traditional medicine couldn't solve, Meredith discovered the transformative power of circadian rhythms and light. Today, she serves as a conduit, bridging the gap between complex emerging science and everyday application.

    In this episode of the Compromised to Alchemized podcast, I sit down with Dr. Tanya Altmann, a world-renowned pediatrician, best-selling author, and leading advocate for integrative children's health. With 25+ years of clinical experience, national media visibility, and a deep understanding of consumer health, Dr. Tanya Altmann helps families and brands access the trusted guidance they need to thrive. Dr. Tanya is trusted by the world’s leading health brands as a strategic advisor, helping them in product development, developing regulatory-compliance messaging, and navigating health communications during critical product launches and pivots.

Of course, we also explore the "Personal Legend" of a pediatrician. Dr. Tanya reveals her mission: to move beyond "biohacking" for adults and instead focus on the First 1,000 Days of life to ensure children never have to "play catch-up" with their health. We also discuss the evolution of Calabasas Pediatric Wellness Center, the importance of empowering other practitioners through open-source medical consulting, and the surprising embryological connection between the tongue and the thyroid.

About

When Dr. Neel was walking around, pondering the challenges that seem to be running rampant in our era - feeding issues with infants, airway issues with kids and adults, and tension in seemingly everyone's nervous systems and bodies, he uttered aloud the question, "How are we going to help everyone go from a compromised airway to an alchemized airway?" And once he said that aloud, his wife suggested omitting the word "airway" to broaden the phrase, and it resonated. It's the homage to Paulo Coelho's brilliant book, The Alchemist, that of alchemy, that seems fitting in characterizing this journey many families seem to find themselves on. It's a rigorous process at times to access healing and a non-linear one. This lead-turning-into-gold process can be daunting, and it takes a village. On this podcast, Dr. Neel carries engaging conversations with healers who have guided others through challenging moments - ones that can hold the paradoxical tension of pain and joy all at once. In the 1st season, Dr. Neel focused on interviewing experts in the fields of birth psychology and embodied embryology, and in the 2nd season, he focuses on those who journey with families from birth onward.
