  Why Amino Acid Trialing Works Better Than Lab Testing for Brain Health

  Jul 31, 202628 min

  In this episode of Take Back My Brain , Laurie Hammer interviews Dr. Chris Molda about amino acid therapy and the importance of individualized amino acid trialing for improving brain health. They explain why traditional blood, urine, and stool testing often fails to identify functional neurotransmitter deficiencies and how guided amino acid trialing provides immediate feedback by observing how the body responds in real time. The conversation explores the four primary neurotransmitter systems—serotonin, GABA, catecholamines, and endorphins—and the unique symptoms associated with each. Dr. Molda also shares his personal experience with self-supplementing without trialing and explains why individualized dosing matters. Together they discuss how amino acids can rapidly reduce symptoms like anxiety, panic attacks, and cravings while serving as temporary tools alongside deeper work to improve gut health, reduce inflammation, and restore overall wellness. - - - - - Dr. Chris Molda is a chiropractor and functional health practitioner who specializes in functional nutrition, brain health, neurotransmitter support, and amino acid therapy.

  Why One Concussion Can Change Your Brain for Years

  Jul 24, 202637 min

  In this episode of Take Back My Brain , Laurie Hammer interviews Dr. Joe O'Tool, a board-certified functional neurologist, about the science of concussions, functional neurology, pediatric brain health, and neuroplasticity. Dr. O'Tool shares how his passion for neurology began after his younger brother suffered an undiagnosed concussion that was followed by serious ACL injuries. His journey deepened even further after his own daughter developed severe neurological and behavioral symptoms, leading him to pursue advanced training in pediatric developmental neurology. The conversation explores how concussions affect far more than headaches, including balance, reaction time, vision, emotional regulation, and injury risk. Dr. O'Tool explains why neuro-visual training, neck strength, physical activity, sleep, and proper nutrition are essential for both preventing and recovering from brain injuries. - - - - - Dr. Joe O'Tool is a board-certified functional neurologist specializing in concussion rehabilitation, neuroplasticity, pediatric developmental neurology, and holistic brain health.

  The Healing Secret Hiding in Every Breath

  Jul 17, 202646 min

  In this episode of Take Back My Brain , Laurie Hammer interviews Brad Pitzele, founder of One Thousand Roads, about the healing potential of Exercise With Oxygen Therapy (EWOT) and red-light therapy. Brad shares his personal journey from years of chronic illness—including autoimmune arthritis, Lyme disease, melanoma, severe fatigue, brain fog, and chronic pain—to rebuilding his health through a focus on oxygen utilization and mitochondrial function. The conversation explores how oxygen impacts cellular energy production, why inflammation and oxygen deprivation often go hand-in-hand, and how EWOT combines exercise with concentrated oxygen to enhance circulation and oxygen delivery throughout the body. Brad also explains how red-light and near-infrared therapy work alongside oxygen therapy by stimulating mitochondria, increasing energy production, and supporting recovery. Together, these therapies may help improve brain function, physical performance, healing, and overall wellness. The episode also touches on applications for brain injuries, concussion recovery, cognitive function, chronic infections, autoimmune conditions, long COVID, and healthy aging, while emphasizing that many reported benefits come from personal experiences and emerging research rather than definitive clinical conclusions. - - - - - Brad Pitzele is the founder of One Thousand Roads and an advocate for Exercise With Oxygen Therapy (EWOT) and red-light therapy.

  How to Age Well After 40: Travel, Stress, Joy & Healthy Foundations

  Jul 3, 202637 min

  In this episode of Take Back My Brain , Laurie Hammer welcomes Jannine Krause, a naturopathic doctor, acupuncturist, wellness educator, and host of the Health Fix podcast, for a conversation about healthy aging, stress, travel, and the foundational habits that support long-term wellness. Jannine shares her perspective on travel as a powerful reset for the nervous system. Rather than filling every vacation with sightseeing and rigid schedules, she encourages people to build in buffer time before and after trips, allow space for rest, and consider returning to familiar places that feel safe and restorative. She explains that travel can become a catalyst for healthier habits, greater joy, and a renewed perspective on life. The conversation also explores heart-rate variability, or HRV, as a tool for understanding stress and nervous-system regulation. Jannine explains that HRV can offer insight into how the body is responding to stress and discusses her preference for brief daily HRV measurements instead of continuous wearable tracking. Laurie and Jannine also share personal concerns about wearables, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and connected vehicles, noting that these observations reflect their individual experiences. - - - - - Mind Thrive Course: Learn more about Amino Acid Therapy ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠here⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ .
