The Energy Blueprint Podcast

In this episode, I'm speaking with Dr. Jason Hawrelak, world-renowned microbiome expert, gastrointestinal specialist, and author of over 60 research papers dedicated to gut health. He is, in my opinion, one of the foremost gut/microbiome experts on the planet. So this is a MUST-listen.
In this podcast, Dr. Hawrelak and I discuss:
The invisible but highly active "organ" that affects everything from mitochondrial function to our nervous system to cancer treatment outcomes

The truth behind microbiome testing and what to know before you get your results

3 primary connections between your microbiome and mitochondria 

The mitochondrial poison some people produce in their own GI tract connected to Alzheimer's, blood sugar dysregulation, and neurotransmitter imbalance
2 GI and mitochondrial-damaging substances that most Americans consume every day

The crucial short-chain fatty acid created by your microbiome that feeds your colon…and your mitochondria

In this episode, I am speaking with Dr. Eric Gordon, MD, who has spent the last 40 years helping his patients overcome chronic complex illnesses by focusing on mitochondria and cellular communication. We will discuss the Cell Danger Response, mitochondria, lifestyle, and much, much more.

There are moments in life when the old version of you stops working, but the next version hasn't arrived yet.
A relationship ends, or a career changes direction. A long-held identity begins to crack. The things that once gave you certainty no longer fit, yet what comes next remains unclear.
It's uncomfortable, disorienting, and most people do everything they can to escape it.
According to my guest today, those in-between periods may be some of the most important moments of our lives.
Today, I'm excited to share my conversation with Telfer McCognahay, founder of Ecotone Academy, whose work focuses on helping people navigate major life transitions and uncover the opportunities hidden within them.
Telfer believes that many of us spend years building our lives around what he calls a "provisional identity": our job, accomplishments, social roles, relationships, or other labels we use to explain who we are.
The problem is that these identities are often far more fragile than we realize.
Growth often requires old stories, outdated coping mechanisms, and limiting identities to fall away so something more authentic can emerge.
In this fascinating conversation, we explore what happens when life places us in what Telfer calls an "ecotone": a transition zone between who we have been and who we are becoming.

What if some people diagnosed with chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia, autoimmune disease, anxiety, or even early Alzheimer's are actually dealing with an underlying infection that was never properly identified?
Today, I'm sharing my conversation with Dr. Richard Horowitz, a board-certified internist who has treated more than 13,000 patients with Lyme and tick-borne disease over the last four decades, many of whom had already seen countless doctors and collected diagnoses like chronic fatigue syndrome, fibromyalgia, depression, anxiety, multiple sclerosis, and early dementia before discovering Lyme may have been part of the picture.
Dr. Horowitz calls Lyme "the great imitator" because its symptoms can overlap with so many other conditions, and since 2016, Dr. Horowitz has published 11 papers on treatment approaches. In one of his latest studies, he and his colleagues explored a possible connection between Lyme disease and Alzheimer's biomarkers, reporting major improvements in certain inflammatory and cognitive-related markers after treatment.
We discuss his broader "MSIDS" model, which looks at chronic illness through a much wider lens. Instead of looking for one single cause, the model examines multiple overlapping factors that may contribute to illness, including infections, toxins, gut dysfunction, nutrient deficiencies, sleep issues, immune imbalance, and inflammation.
In this podcast, Dr. Horowitz and I discuss:
Why Lyme disease is called "the great imitator" and how it can resemble chronic fatigue syndrome, fibromyalgia, multiple sclerosis, anxiety, depression, and Alzheimer's disease

The often-overlooked migratory pain that is one of the hallmark symptoms of chronic Lyme

The Lyme symptom questionnaire, which he developed and validated on 6,400 patients

How research from Johns Hopkins and other universities changed our understanding of Lyme as a persistent infection

Why Dr. Horowitz began using drugs like dapsone and rifampin in Lyme treatment protocols

His published research on dapsone combination therapy and the improvements he has observed in patients

His recent findings on Lyme disease and Alzheimer's biomarkers, including reductions in tau217 levels

Dr. Horowitz's unique MSIDS model and the many overlapping factors that may drive chronic illness

Why chronic illness rates continue rising and what conventional medicine may still be missing

Why Dr. Horowitz believes recovery is possible, even for patients who have been sick for years

In this episode, I am speaking with Emily Fletcher – the founder of Ziva meditation – about why you should tab into your sexuality to manifest your goal and dreams. 
 
In this podcast, Emily and I discuss: 
·      The secrets of sacred sexuality 
·      The link between sex and the divine
·      How to use orgasms to level up your potential
