What is resonance, and how do frequency-based technologies fit into conversations about wellness?
In this episode of Take Back My Brain, Laurie Hammer welcomes Jeff Hoyt for their fourth conversation about resonance, frequency technologies, and their potential role in wellness practices.
Jeff begins by explaining resonance through familiar examples, such as tuning forks and a singer shattering a wine glass. The discussion then expands to the Schumann resonance, grounding, environmental stressors, and frequency-based wellness technologies.
Jeff also introduces the ZeoMat and ZORAP, describing their features and sharing observations of users' reported experiences, including relaxation and perceived changes in sleep and digestion. These accounts provide context for the conversation but should not be interpreted as establishing the devices' effectiveness or health benefits.
Throughout the episode, Laurie and Jeff discuss their faith-based perspectives on energy technologies and the importance of personal discernment when exploring wellness approaches. They also consider practical lifestyle choices, including spending time in nature and reducing unnecessary nighttime exposure to Wi-Fi and nearby devices.
The conversation encourages listeners to remain curious while evaluating wellness technologies thoughtfully, prioritizing foundational health practices, and distinguishing personal experiences and proposed explanations from scientifically established evidence.

What happens when we look beyond nutrition alone and consider the connection between the body, mind, emotions, and spirit?
In this episode of Take Back My Brain, Laurie Hammer sits down with Kristine Genovese, creator of the Soul Intelligent Method, and Jamie Dorley, CEO of Nutritional Frontiers. Together, they explore nutrition, emotional patterns, nervous-system regulation, childhood experiences, blood sugar, hormones, mindset, faith, and self-care.
Jamie discusses the importance of quality nutrition and nutrient forms, including protein, amino acids, magnesium, healthy fats, and other nutritional support. He also shares how tools such as continuous glucose monitoring can provide insight into individual responses to food.
Kristine explains the concept of Soul Intelligence as learning to become quiet enough to hear your inner knowing. She explores how emotional experiences and childhood patterns can influence how we respond to life and why becoming aware of those patterns can be an important part of personal growth.
The conversation also touches on prayer, journaling, gratitude, nervous-system regulation, and the importance of continuing to grow rather than looking for a single solution.

In this episode of Take Back My Brain, Laurie Hammer talks with neurodevelopmental specialist Dr. Laura Hanson about neurofeedback, brain mapping, brain development, and the different experiences that shape how the brain functions. Dr. Hanson explains why she believes a brain map is an important starting point for neurofeedback and walks through how visual and auditory feedback is used during training.
They discuss how movement and developmental milestones such as crawling help build brain networks, what can happen when important developmental experiences are missed, and how the brain can create new patterns over time. The conversation also explores nutrition, medication, screen use, posture, peripheral vision, and the growing challenge of keeping children engaged with real-world experiences.
Laurie and Dr. Hanson also talk about giving children time to move, explore, experience boredom, and avoid being constantly scheduled or entertained. They close with a practical message for parents and anyone looking to support brain health: keep moving, challenge the brain, and don't be afraid to make changes.
- - - - -
About the Guest:
Dr. Laura Hanson is a neurodevelopmental specialist who has worked in the field for more than 30 years. She works with children and adults to support focus, learning, behavior, and brain function.

In this episode of Take Back My Brain, Laurie Hammer talks with neuroscientist Shaina Cahill of NovelBiome about the microbiome, fecal microbiota transplants, and the deep connection between your gut and your brain. Shaina explains why probiotics can't replace bacteria you've lost and how they can skew stool test results. She walks through what actually goes into an FMT capsule and why so few people qualify as donors. The conversation covers which conditions FMT research is exploring, why Shaina is cautious about blanket parasite cleanses and long-term antiparasitic use, and why being "never sick" can be a sign of high stress. They also get into how the gut produces serotonin and other neurotransmitters, and why gut changes can show up years before some neurological diseases. They close on a practical note: small, livable choices matter most, and it's supposed to feel hard at three weeks because real habits take closer to 90 days.
- - - - -
About the Guest:
Shaina Cahill is a neuroscientist with NovelBiome, a GMP-certified manufacturer of microbiome-based therapies, including fecal microbiota transplants. Her original research focused on how the brain develops and changes across a lifetime, from birth to death, which led her to the gut-brain connection. NovelBiome is based about two hours outside Vancouver, British Columbia. The company works directly with medical professionals and builds case studies to expand what's understood about FMT across autoimmune, neurological and metabolic conditions.

In this episode of Take Back My Brain, Laurie Hammer talks with Dr. Heidi Codino and Dr. Serena Russum of Hormone Heroines about their personal journeys through hormone dysfunction and medical dismissal — and what it taught them as practitioners. They share their own stories of being put on birth control without proper testing, one doctor's terrifying postpartum flatlining and misdiagnosed thyroid condition, and how both eventually found answers through naturopathic medicine. The conversation covers the real risks of long-term birth control use, how to advocate for yourself with a dismissive doctor, why muscle health is critical for hormones, bones, and brain function at every age, and the root causes behind stubborn weight loss resistance in perimenopause and menopause. They close with a candid take on two "controversial" truths: that hormone replacement therapy has a place for life once started, and that "it's just stress" is rarely the full story.
- - - - -
About our Guests:
Dr. Heidi Codino and Dr. Serena Russum are naturopathic doctors and co-hosts of the Hormone Heroines podcast, where they help women get to the root cause of hormone imbalances instead of being dismissed or handed a one-size-fits-all prescription. Both doctors experienced years of being told their own symptoms were normal — from unexplained infertility to a postpartum flatlining event — before naturopathic medicine gave them real answers. Today they run a practice together focused on hormone health, thyroid function, muscle and metabolic health, and helping women feel heard.

In this episode of Take Back My Brain, Laurie Hammer talks with Tobias Segal, co-founder and CEO of Pure O3, about the science and practical use of ozone therapy. Segal breaks down what ozone actually is, why it must be generated on demand due to its short half-life, and how Pure O3 stabilizes it in plant oils and glycerin for topical, rectal, and oral use. The conversation covers ozone's antibacterial and antiviral mechanism, its growing use in dentistry, its role in mold and mycotoxin remediation, and its potential support for long-COVID recovery and energy levels. Segal also introduces Pure O3's newer ozonated glycerin product — a highly bioavailable, longer-lasting compound compared to traditional ozone therapy — and shares how his family's personal health journey led to founding both Pure O3 and ProOzone Life, a home ozone therapy hardware company. He closes with a reminder that no single therapy is a cure-all, and that ozone works best as part of a broader approach to diet, exercise, and overall health.
- - - - -
About the Guest:
Tobias Segal is the co-founder and CEO of Pure O3, a family-owned company founded in 2012 that specializes in ozone-infused products, including topicals, suppositories, dental products, and ozonated glycerin. He is also involved with ProOzone Life, which provides home ozone therapy equipment and pure oxygen delivery for at-home use. Segal's interest in ozone began through his father's personal health journey, and he now works to make ozone therapy more accessible, better understood, and safely integrated into people's wellness routines.

In this episode of Take Back My Brain, Laurie Hammer talks with Dr. Erika Schultz, DACM, a licensed acupuncturist and certified applied clinical nutritionist, about her trademarked Resiliency Method. Born out of her own struggle with a chronic seizure disorder that plateaued despite conventional and functional medicine approaches, Dr. Schultz shares how she came to identify vagus nerve dysfunction as a root cause of chronic illness — one that shows up as anxiety, depression, digestive disorders, and food sensitivities. She breaks down her three-phase healing process: an initial surface-level detox, a second "insurance policy" phase to prevent pathogens and toxins from returning, and a final rebuilding phase that uses whole-food-based supplementation to safely release deeply stored toxins like heavy metals. The conversation also covers the often-overlooked thymus gland and its role as a hub for the immune system, and how Chinese medicine's hot/cold herbal framework informs when and how these therapies should be used. Dr. Schultz closes with an encouraging message for anyone who feels they've plateaued in their healing: there may be more layers of the body's story still left to address.
- - - - -
About the Guest:
Dr. Erika Schultz, DACM, is a licensed acupuncturist and certified applied clinical nutritionist, and the creator of the trademarked Resiliency Method. After her own decades-long struggle with a chronic seizure disorder and autoimmune dysfunction, she developed a three-phase healing framework centered on vagus nerve repair, thymus gland restoration, and deep cellular detox. Over 15 years and more than 40,000 patient visits, she has helped clients reverse food sensitivities, resolve recurring infections, and move beyond symptom management toward true regeneration. She practices out of Paramount Wellness in Denver, Colorado, and works with clients across the country and internationally.

In this episode of Take Back My Brain, Laurie Hammer talks with Tess Hilmo, founder of Consider This Nutrition, about her journey through Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS) — a condition that made her progressively reactive to foods she'd never had trouble with before, eventually forcing her to leave her teaching career. Tess unpacks what MCAS is, why it's on the rise post-COVID, and how a strict low-histamine diet, while helpful for symptom control, made her world smaller and smaller. The conversation shifts to her real turning point: the "30 Plants a Week" movement, a science-backed approach to rebuilding gut microbiome diversity through variety rather than restriction. Tess shares practical hacks — from multicolor produce to her homemade "microbiome granola" — for hitting 30 plant points a week without overhauling every meal. She also discusses the additional tools that supported her healing, including red light therapy, nicotine patch therapy, and microdosed tirzepatide, and the origin story of her low-histamine, high-fiber protein bar company, born out of a moment of frustration on an anniversary trip with her husband.
- - - - -
About the Guest:
Tess Hilmo is the founder of Consider This Nutrition, a company creating clean, low-histamine, high-fiber protein bars for the chronic illness and MCAS community. After being diagnosed with Mast Cell Activation Syndrome, she turned to the science of gut microbiome diversity to expand her diet rather than restrict it, and now shares her journey to help others navigate chronic illness and food sensitivities.

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.

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.

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.

In this episode of Take Back My Brain, Laurie Hammer talks with Melissa Abouchakra, 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 bite.
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.

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.
