What if more oxygen isn't always better?

In this episode of Root Causes, Vibrant Health, Elizabeth Tringali, PA-C, sits down with Dr. Jason Sonners, a leading researcher and educator in hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT), to explore how oxygen under pressure affects inflammation, cognitive function, cellular repair, and biological aging.

Drawing on his PhD research at the University of Miami and nearly two decades of clinical experience, Dr. Sonners challenges one of the biggest assumptions about hyperbaric therapy: that higher pressure always produces better results. His research reveals that different pressures can produce distinctly different biological responses, raising important questions about how HBOT protocols should be personalized.

In this episode, you'll discover:

• Why higher hyperbaric pressure isn't necessarily better
• What research reveals about HBOT, memory, cognitive function, and biological aging
• How hyperbaric oxygen may influence inflammation and mitochondrial function
• Why oxygen cycling and air breaks may support cellular repair
• What patients typically notice after 5, 10, 20, or more sessions
• How HBOT can be incorporated into personalized longevity protocols
• The science behind combining hyperbaric oxygen with IV therapy, red light therapy, and other regenerative treatments
• Common hyperbaric myths and what to consider before choosing a clinic

From brain health and neuroplasticity to the emerging science of epigenetics, this conversation explores the potential of hyperbaric oxygen therapy while emphasizing the importance of individualized protocols, appropriate dosing, and continued research.

What if inflammation isn’t simply an inevitable part of aging, but a signal that your body is asking for something different?

In this episode of Root Causes: Vibrant Health, Elizabeth Tringali sits down with Ayurvedic practitioner, turmeric researcher, and author Dr. Shivani Gupta to explore how the ancient principles of Ayurveda can be combined with modern functional medicine to support a more personalized approach to health.

Dr. Gupta breaks down the three Ayurvedic body types, or doshas, and explains how understanding your own “elemental design” can influence the way you eat, sleep, exercise, manage stress, and support digestion. She also shares the six pillars behind her book, The Inflammation Code, including circadian rhythm, digestive health, Ayurvedic self-care practices, and the use of herbs and spices.

The conversation then dives into Dr. Gupta’s specialty: turmeric and curcumin. She explains the difference between culinary turmeric and concentrated curcumin, why absorption matters, and what current research is exploring around curcumin, inflammatory pathways, gut health, brain health, metabolism, and healthy aging.

Elizabeth and Dr. Gupta also discuss sleep, neuroinflammation, digestive “fire,” intermittent fasting, sugar and alcohol, and the small daily habits that may have a much bigger impact on long-term health than we realize.

If you’re interested in inflammation, functional medicine, Ayurveda, longevity, or simply understanding how to work withyour body rather than against it, this episode offers a fascinating bridge between ancient wisdom and modern science.

Can you actually train your brain to function better and without medication? In this episode, Elizabeth Tringali sits down with neurofeedback expert and author Mike Cohen to explore how neurofeedback is helping people with anxiety, ADHD, depression, PTSD, brain injuries, sleep disorders, autism, migraines, and more.

Together they discuss:

• How neurofeedback actually works
• Why brain function matters more than brain structure
• The role of brain mapping (QEEG)
• Neurofeedback for trauma, menopause, concussions, Parkinson's, and Alzheimer's
• Why functional medicine and brain training work best together
• Environmental toxins, mold, heavy metals, EMFs, and their effects on the brain
• The future of AI-driven brain optimization

If you've ever wondered whether your brain can heal—or why you still don't feel like yourself despite doing "everything right"—this conversation offers a fascinating look at one of the most promising tools in brain health.
