Brain Regen Lab Podcast

She thought she was just run down. Tired all the time, foggy, inflamed, but nothing she could quite put her finger on. This episode is a real eye-opener about what might actually be going on for women with breast implants, and how those unexplained symptoms could be connected. I sat down with my good friend, Dr. Robert Whitfield, a world-renowned Holistic Plastic Surgeon with decades of experience and one of the leading experts on Breast Implant Illness, to talk through what so many women are living with in silence.

Dr. Robert has helped thousands of women figure out what's really happening in their bodies, often after years of feeling dismissed. We talk about the hidden bacteria that can grow around implants, how it affects your whole system, and the symptoms that are way more common than most people realize. He also shares why so many women feel better after explant surgery, and the healing protocol he developed to help them recover faster, called SHARP.

Long before modern science gave language to our nervous system, ancient cultures understood the body as an energetic map, and the chakra system was their guide. This episode is all about how tuning into those energy centers can actually help us feel more connected in our bodies, more present in our lives, and way less scattered.

Dr. Mary Sanders is a Medical Intuitive, Chiropractor, and expert in Positive Psychology who's spent over 20 years helping women move through emotional stuckness and step into alignment—body, mind, and spirit; and today, she talks about how unprocessed junk (like old trauma, stress, and even inherited family patterns) can quietly show up in our energy field, and what to actually do about it. She shares simple, grounded practices—like how to protect your energy, set clear intentions, and tap into your intuition.

She also gets real about her own journey from the chiropractic world into the realm of energy medicine, and why she believes this blend of science and soul is exactly what so many of us need right now. If you've been feeling a little "off," or just curious about how to connect deeper with yourself, this one's full of honest, helpful takeaways. Tune in and you might be surprised by how much your energy's been trying to tell you all along.

Memorable Quotes:

"Once we get those two channels communicating up and down, there are endless Infinite ways that one can heal themselves. " [00:19:21] – Dr. Mary Sanders

"The energy that it takes to really create lasting, sustainable, and profound healing comes from a place of the parasympathetics, in a place where you're resting, you're digesting, you're relaxing, and allowing your central nervous system to be able to be uploaded into a new version of self." [00:31:16] – Dr. Mary Sanders

Have you ever felt like your brain just isn't firing the way it used to—like you're in a fog you can't quite shake? It turns out, your metabolic health might have more to do with it than you think. This week, I'm sitting down with Dr. Neetu Sharma (a.k.a. the Kidney Whisperer), who's not only a seasoned Nephrologist but also a Functional Medicine Expert helping people connect the dots between things like stress, blood sugar, and brain function. She's sharing what she's learned after 15+ years in medicine—and trust me, it'll make you rethink how you take care of your body and your mind.

Dr. Neetu gets real about how kidney and metabolic issues often go unnoticed until they show up as something bigger—like memory loss, fatigue, or even early signs of dementia. We talk about how the standard healthcare model often misses the root causes, and how shifting your lifestyle (even in small ways) can make a big difference. She also shares her own story—what made her leave the conventional path and start treating people more holistically.

If you've ever felt frustrated by vague symptoms or brushed-off doctor visits, this conversation is for you. You'll walk away with practical tips—like which biomarkers to pay attention to and simple ways to support your brain and kidneys every day. More than that, you'll feel empowered to ask better questions and make choices that actually serve you long term.

Most people think trauma is a dramatic, one-time event—but Dr. Don Wood says it's often the quiet, overlooked experiences that hold us back the most. Dr. Don has spent years helping people uncover trauma that quietly shape how we think, feel, and perform. In this episode, he shares the real-life stories and brain science behind his TIPP method, a process that's helped athletes, survivors, and everyday folks find calm, clarity, and freedom. It's not about reliving the pain—it's about resetting your brain, so it stops reacting like the danger is still happening.

Dr. Don is a Trauma Expert, Author, and Founder of the Inspired Performance Institute, and he's got a gift for explaining big ideas in a way that just clicks. He breaks down the difference between the obvious traumas and the "smaller" stuff we brush off but unknowingly leaves a mark. You'll learn what's really happening during a panic attack (sometimes before you even feel it), and how to interrupt those patterns before they spiral.

We also talk about addiction, burnout, and why your past might be draining your energy more than you realize. Dr. Don's approach goes deeper than just coping—it's about actually healing so you can think clearer, live lighter, and show up fully. Whether you're trying to bounce back from burnout, level up your performance, or just finally feel peace in your own mind, this episode offers more than inspiration—it offers tools. Press play and find out what's really possible when your brain is no longer stuck in survival mode.

When your thyroid's off, your brain can feel like it's in a fog you just can't shake. From forgetfulness and fatigue to anxiety that seems to come out of nowhere, those little hormones can cause big problems—especially when something deeper, like Hashimoto's, is at play. I sat down with Dr. Heather Stone, a powerhouse in the world of thyroid health, who's helped thousands of women finally get answers. We talked all about how thyroid issues show up in the brain—and why they're so often misunderstood or overlooked.

Dr. Heather shared what she's learned after 20+ years of digging deep with her patients, many of whom were told "everything looks normal" when they clearly didn't feel that way. She explains how symptoms like brain fog or even tremors can sometimes mimic things like Parkinson's, and why so many women with low thyroid actually have an autoimmune condition. We also got into the gluten connection (yes, it matters!) and the simple daily habits she swears by to help get your brain and body back on track. The best part? It's all doable and starts with understanding what your body's really trying to tell you.

Dr. Heather's warm, straight-talking approach makes complex science easy to understand and even easier to act on. If you've been brushed off, told your labs are "normal," or feel like you're constantly running on empty, this conversation is for you. Tune in to learn how small shifts can lead to real, lasting change.
