What if your brain could see itself in real time… and self-correct?

In Episode 2 of 3 with Dr. Josh Hersh (Transformative Medicine, Utah), we go deeper into neurofeedback — what a session actually feels like, how the brain responds to real-time EEG feedback, and why this approach can shift patterns like anxiety, PTSD, sleep disruption, and chronic stress without forcing someone to “think” their way out of it.

Dr. Hersh breaks down the patient experience (EEG setup, relaxed viewing, auditory/visual cues), the science behind operant conditioning and brainwave targets, and how advanced clinical tools (like multi-lead EEG and sLORETA-style mapping) can pinpoint imbalance and train the whole brain toward coherence.

You’ll also hear powerful clinical stories:

• A high-pressure dad with severe anxiety + multiple daily panic attacks who improved dramatically over weeks
• A cancer patient whose nervous system shifted from fear to optimism — and why mindset + nervous system regulation matter in healing

In this episode:

• What happens during a neurofeedback session (what patients feel + see)
• How the brain “learns” without conscious effort
• Why neurofeedback may help PTSD without re-living trauma (vs. EMDR)
• Brain mapping: over-excitability, standard deviations, and what “too activated” can look like
• Why Dr. Hersh believes brain training supports the body’s ability to heal

What if the fastest path to healing starts in the brain?

In Episode 1 of a 3-part series, we sit down with Dr. Josh Hersh (Transformative Medicine, Utah) to explore the intersection of brain science, functional medicine, and the future of healthcare — starting with a technology many people have heard of…but few can explain: neurofeedback.

Dr. Hersh shares his origin story (why he left the “nothing’s wrong with you” conventional dead end), how he trained at Bastyr University, and why he believes neurofeedback may be one of the most powerful tools in modern integrative medicine.

You’ll hear a jaw-dropping case study of a 3-year-old with cerebral palsy-like symptoms who began opening his hand, giving high-fives, and taking steps after only a handful of sessions — plus a breakdown of what neurofeedback is, how it works (EEG + operant conditioning), and why brain balance + coherence matter.

In this episode:
* Dr. Hersh’s “why” — from personal GI collapse to transformative medicine
* What neurofeedback actually is (EEG brainwaves + training loops)
* “Operant conditioning” explained (Pavlov, but for brain patterns)
* The brain’s goal: balance + coherence
* A real patient story that will stick with you
* Why performance communities (NASA/NFL) are paying attention
* Why Dr. Hersh says: If I could pick one tool… it might be neurofeedback

What if cognitive decline isn’t “one disease”… but dozens of problems happening at once?

Board-certified cardiologist and functional medicine physician Dr. Royce Bargas breaks down Dr. Dale Bredesen’s RECODE approach (Reversal of Cognitive Decline) — a multi-factor, test-driven protocol aimed at Alzheimer’s, dementia, and prevention (PRECODE).

In this episode, we cover:

• The “leaky roof” analogy: why single-drug approaches often fall short
• The 5 major drivers Bredesen targets: inflammation, glycotoxicity (sugar), toxins, atrophy/nutrients-hormones, and trauma/head injury
• “Test, don’t guess”: labs, toxin panels, hormones, antibodies, and more
• Volumetric MRI: tracking hippocampus volume over time
• Why ketosis (measured beta-hydroxybutyrate) is central for many patients
• Ketoflex 12/3 + time-restricted eating (and what “healthy fats” actually means)
• Detox basics: exposure reduction + binders + when chelation may matter
• What Dr. Vargas has seen in real patients — and why compliance + coaching/support can make or break outcomes
• Bonus: “nootropics” — buzzword or useful? (glutathione, huperzine A, bacopa)

If you have a loved one showing early signs—or you’re serious about prevention—this conversation is a practical, hope-filled roadmap.
