Nervous system regulation, breathwork, energy, cutting edge recovery technology, and systems-based care take center stage in this powerful conversation with Dr. Sean Drake, founder of Moderne Athlete.

In this episode of Ripple Effect Connection, Kristi Hujik chats with Dr. Sean Drake to explore a modern, human-first approach to healing and performance—one that treats the body as an integrated system rather than a collection of isolated parts.

Drawing from years of experience working alongside professional athletes across the NFL, NBA, NHL, PGA TOUR, and beyond, Sean shares why sustainable performance doesn’t come from pushing harder, but from restoring safety, alignment, and regulation within the body.

Together, they discuss the central role of the nervous system in recovery and resilience, the profound impact of breathwork in calming the body and supporting healing, and how movement, mindset, and regulation work together to expand capacity. Sean also brings real client stories into the conversation, illustrating the meaningful shifts that occur when individuals feel supported rather than overridden.

This episode is for athletes, high performers, entrepreneurs, and anyone who feels stuck in overdrive and is searching for a more aligned, sustainable path to health and performance.
