Episode DescriptionMagnus Johnson, co-Founder of Mission 22, joins the show to share his journey as a veteran participating in the effort to increase mental health for people who have served. From his experience in the military to working with cohorts of vets like himself, Magnus talks about the path to integrating warriors into their new worlds. Introduction quote “You might not know the right answers, you might not know what you should or shouldn't do but you must participate. That statement hit me.” — Magnus Johnson Guest bio Magnus Johnson is an eight-year Army Veteran, former Green Beret, family man, writer, and artist. He completed three combat tours, two in Afghanistan and one in Iraq. As President and Co-Founder of Mission 22, a 501(c)3 organization, Johnson leverages his talents, skills, and understanding of warrior psychology to help solve the suicide epidemic engulfing America's veterans. He is a visionary leader and excellent at forming individualized solutions to large challenges. Johnson has been awarded a Bronze Star Medal for Combat actions and a Congressional Record in the Indiana House of Representatives for Service to Country and Community. Find out more about Magnus on his LinkedIn. Key Takeaways [1:00] David welcomes Magnus Johnson, former Green Beret Special Forces veteran, and asks him to share a little bit about growing up and how 9/11 propelled him into an entirely different life.

[10:55] All great things require sacrifice but Magnus wasn't aware of the gravity of the sacrifices he made during his service until he transitioned back to civilian life. He speaks of his lengthy reintegration experience. [14:13] Navigating intimacy, trust, and vulnerability unfolded serendipitously through a smart and understanding woman he met whose father served in Vietnam — his wife Sara. [16:23] Magnus takes a moment to describe some of the concrete methods he used to drive himself towards positivity and redeveloping his frontal cortex function and his ability to connect, create intimacy, and be vulnerable.

Retired Navy SEAL Bob Reitz joins the show to share how his deployments have shaped civilian life as well as the coping mechanisms he's developed in conjunction with NuCalm, to manage his PTSD and hypervigilance. Introduction quote “You may be able to hold your breath for five minutes, but they want to know how you manage and how you act at five minutes and one second. Do you panic? Do you compete? Do you keep your composure? Do you stay underwater and relax even though you're a quiet storm inside? All those things matter.” — Bob Reitz Guest bio Bob joined the Navy in 1988 and served both as an Enlisted Sailor and a Commissioned Officer over his 22 year career. The first 8 years in the Navy Bob served as a Machinist Mate where he repaired Submarines in Italy and followed by his time in at the University of Arizona where he received his Bachelor's Degree and Commission; the last 16 years he served as a Commissioned Officer in the US Navy SEAL Teams. Bob was assigned to SEAL Team ONE, SEAL Team FIVE, Special Boat Team TWELVE and also the Naval Postgraduate School where he received his Master's Degree. Over his time in the Navy he deployed 6 times for 6-7 months each deployment and served 4 years abroad when he was stationed in Italy and Guam. After leaving the Navy Bob worked as a Security Contractor with other SEALS protecting the Middle East Maersk Shipping line from Pirating and Kidnapping operations conducted by local criminal elements; He later went into the Defense Contracting Industry where he sold Covert Audio and Video equipment to both DOD and Federal Agencies. It was during this time that he was introduced to NuCalm by way of a Gifted NuCalm System from Dr. David Walters (Bob's personal Doctor) to help him with Sleep and Travel. Because NuCalm had such a profound effect on Bob, he quit his Defense Contracting career and reached out to NuCalm to join the team! Key Takeaways [1:00] David welcomes a long-time friend, Navy SEAL, hero, all-around awesome human and asks him to share the story of how he came to serve. [5:23] The people who make it to SEAL training need to really want to do it — there is a 75% to 85% drop-out rate! Bob shares some of the grueling trials and training required. [8:31] Bob shares some of his deployments, what they have meant, and the fundamental mission difference between pre- and post-9/11. [13:56] Six to seven months of constant sympathetic drive is not something your body or mind is used to recuperating from, but it's part of the job. Bob shares the hurdles of hypervigilance experience as well as the hardships of managing the need for control post-deployment. [20:13] Bob shares a personal example of how hypervigilance can show up inappropriately — even backyard camping — in a personal and family relationship setting. [22:11] Growing with a tightly knit unit of brothers at arms and developing this uniquely unshakable bond teaches you that life is really about community. Retirement from this context can lead to a profound feeling of loss and Bob shares how some people find relief from this feeling of emptiness. [30:12] PTSD is ugly. And easy to deny. Bob opens up about his Veteran grandfather. [35:55] To put things into perspective, Bob shares what a day in his life is on deployment 24/7 for seven months at a time — from Djibouti to Afghanistan. [40:32] What does Veteran's day mean to Bob? He also shares advice on how to come back to civilian life. [48:12] From dying on the vine to Bob figuring out the best coping mechanisms for managing his PTSD — including NuCalm. [52:33] Audience questions start with “How do you share this PTSD experience with others?” [58:05] “Have you customized NuCalm for your own optimal experience?” [1:01:52] “TBI and TMJ are causing grinding. Will NuCalm help with this?” [1:07:04] “Bob's recommendations for getting — and staying — in the zone.” [1:16:30] David thanks Bob for his service, his experience, and for sharing so much of himself. Continue on your journey and until next time, breathe deep, relax, and keep looking forward.

Today's guest, Dr. Hu, is leading the research on the use of NuCalm with various populations in China. From the benefits of NuCalm in the elderly, Alzheimers, Parkinsons as well as children with Autism or ADHD. Tune in for a fascinating discussion on the results she has been seeing as well as how her NuCalm business is growing. Introduction quote “I don't know how you manage that in the U.S., but here, if you see a teenager is very anxious, the parents will say ‘No! he is fine, it's normal to have stress.' So that will be an argument and we'll say OK, let's help your child to get better grades, to get to a better school, a better college. And that's exactly what they need.” — Dr. Hu Guest bioDr. Xiaoyan Hu graduated from the Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences & Peking Union Medical College, majoring in Biochemistry and Molecular Neurobiology. During her PhD, Dr. Hu took neuroscience as her lifelong research direction. In a blink of an eye, two decades have passed, but the passion about neuroscience has never changed. After graduation, she went to the U.S. for her postdoc training. Dr. Hu worked at the University of Washington School of Medicine, followed by Cornell University School of Medicine as a senior neuroscientist. In addition to the research at medical school, Dr. Hu has been working as a volunteer in the community since the second year of her visit to the United States, and has established two non-profit organizations to provide various health science education for Chinese immigrants in the American Chinese community. In order to provide better service for the community, Dr. Hu studied social services, nutrition, natural medicine, sociology, psychology, and neuro-linguistic programming. Due to this special experience, Dr. Hu made many friends in natural medicine and other fields which laid the groundwork for her later work in China. Key Takeaways [1:00] David welcomes Dr. Hu and invites her to share her life story and what brought her to dedicate her life to others in such a powerful way, from a childhood head injury that left her unable to walk to a Ph.D. and becoming an instructor at Cornell Medical College.

Today's guest, Dr. Janet Hranicky had the opportunity to become Dr. O. Carl Simonton's protegee and participate in the scientific understanding of the relationship between the mind, emotions, and stress in the development and evolution of disease. Tune in as she shares her formidable knowledge as well as the protocol she and her team use to optimize health, tackling anything from cancer to depression. Introduction quote “We don't even have time to understand what stress even means, we toss it around like it's a household term. De-stress, what in the world does that mean? Just turn off your mind? Cut off your head? We've lost sense of what it means.” — Dr. Janet Hranicky Galitzer, PhD Guest bio Dr. Janet Hranicky is an established leader in PsychoNeuroImmunology and the role of the mind and consciousness in anti-aging and longevity, known for her pioneering work over the last 30 years with world-renowned O. Carl Simonton, M.D. You can find out more about Dr. Janet at the Hippocrates Health Institute and the American Health Institute Key Takeaways [1:00] David welcomes today's guest, Dr. Janet Hranicky, and asks her to share her professional journey to medicine and how meeting with Dr. Carl Simonton's wife led her to build the program. [7:00] A short analogy on epigenetics paves the way for Dr. Janet recounting Dr. Simonton's research protocol: Three times a day, 20 minutes each time, he worked on restructuring patients' beliefs about their disease. [14:35] Illness is a low-energy state. Dr. Janet explains how Dr. Simonton showed that flipping the script on your disease can help your body effectively fight with all of its tools. [22:47] Dr. Janet explains the importance of Rational Behavior Therapy as a tool to identify unhealthy beliefs and its use in modifying health outcomes. She also touches on the cultural differences in the treatment of cognitive issues (North-America vs. Asia) as well as how NuCalm can easily be integrated into a treatment plan. [26:22] Stress and psychological factors are major players in the development of cancer — and six months before a diagnosis you can usually spot an event or cluster of events that might have served as factors for the disease. [31:31] NuCalm was integrated at the very launch of the program in 2014 and this coincided with the understanding that the deep sleep cycle is critical to regeneration. Dr. Janet shares some very powerful moments she witnessed with patients using NuCalm. [35:00] What is the three-layered brain? And what do you need to do to convince your brain that there is no tiger? [39:18] We know what can kill cancer cells, the problem lies in the proliferation… Dr. Janet shares a scientific hunch on what the source of this may be! [42:10] There is something about sleep and metabolic function! Dr. Janet explains the relationship between sleep, metabolic function, and the reptilian brain as well as how NuCalm can act on all three. [46:31] Getting a depressed person to improve their posture and move their bodies, go outside, and be active reduces depression… but how do you get them moving? Dr. Janet shares her thoughts on the help NuCalm can provide. [50:35] Chronic Stress Physiology is a huge predictor of getting better; Dr. Janet explains how she has seen this time and again in thousands of patients. [53:37] Is plant-based better for you? [58:28] Dr. Janet takes a few moments to thank the people that have had an impact on her life and career and signs off.

Dr. Jay Wiles is a clinical health psychologist specialized in psychophysiology, biofeedback, and Heart Rate Variability (HRV) training. He joins David to discuss all things HRV and share a whole lot of information and advice on how to better train your nervous system for peak performance stress reduction. Tune in and get ready to take notes during this fast-paced, discussion on the importance of knowing how to use your HRV data properly. Introduction quote “Maybe we aren't just these mechanistic, deterministic, robotic individuals. Maybe indeed we're quite multi-faceted, consisting of a mind, body, and spirit, not just this body, which my feeble little adolescent brain just couldn't comprehend at that time.” — Dr. Jay Wiles Guest bio Dr. Wiles has a passion for helping others reach their full potential from an integrative and holistic perspective. With a strong passion for integrative and holistic care, especially in nutrition and psychophysiology, he completed his doctorate of clinical psychology degree at Regent University with a specialized focus and concentration in health psychology. You can find out more about Dr. Jay Wiles on Instagram| Twitter| Facebook| LinkedIn website | and about Thrive Wellness Key Takeaways [1:00] David welcomes today's guest, Dr. Jay Wiles and invites him to share no less than his life's journey, from the nursery to the boardroom. Dr. Jay explains how a fascination with biology led to consulting with large companies looking to improve organizational productivity through HRV and biofeedback. [8:12] What is Heart Rate Variability (HRV)? Dr. Jay offers a reasonably simple explanation of what it is: the time differences between each successive heartbeat. This information is important in the broader context of nervous system responses: Quick class! The central nervous system branches into the peripheral nervous system. The peripheral nervous system branches into the autonomic nervous system which controls unconscious body processes (heart rate, digestion, etc.) The autonomic nervous system generates 2 distinct biological states: Sympathetic (gas pedal: fight or flight) Parasympathetic (brake pedal: rest and digest) The markers that indicate which state we're currently in can be tested for, but not as a spot check. However, HRV offers a window into autonomic nervous system function, IF we know how to analyze the diagnostic metric. [12:30] Dr. Jay touches on the work participated in at the Veterans Integrative Pain Center (VIP) with patients whose sympathetic nervous system response was overly active, and how HRV became the gold standard tool to help them modulate nervous system response. [14:50] How long will it take for someone to get results with biofeedback and HRV training? Two to five sessions will usually generate significant progress. [16:20] So you have all this HRV data, what do you do with it? Dr. Jay breaks down the process they use from the initial stress profile to learning proper diaphragmatic breathing, proper biomechanics, proper cadence, mindfulness, exercise protocols. [19:25] Dr. Jay offers his recommendation on breathing training programs (see links below) and explains why and how a hypercapnic state, where CO2 levels are slightly elevated, can be beneficial. He also shares his own breathing practice when doing NuCalm! [22:00] HRV and biofeedback training for athletes and normal people is diametrically different, Dr. Jay breaks down what each class of client requires noting that regardless of the protocol, it's all about training. [23:50] Dr. Jay lists his clinical tools as well as the consumer devices he recommends to his patients and those he uses for other purposes than HRV (all links below). [28:23] The usual protocols involve a morning five-minute HRV baseline, as well as HRV training multiple times a day — which you can integrate with NuCalm — for a minimum total of 15 minutes a day. [31:55] Integrating NuCalm was a fun conversion from complete skeptic to adopter for Dr. Jay, he shares his experience testing the device and how it repeatedly modulated HRV even to the point of generating residual effects! [40:53] Dr. Jay shares his one-word definition of NuCalm. David thanks Dr. Jay Wiles for coming on the podcast and invites listeners to tune into the next episode.

On this episode of This is NuCalm, your host David Poole welcomes Julie Burns, functional nutritionist to athletes, coaches, and trainers. Julie is the Team Nutritionist for the Chicago Blackhawks and the founder of SportFuel, Inc. and Eat Like the Pros® – an integrative sports nutrition and wellness consulting firm and organic meal delivery service. She regularly provides nutrition guidance to coaches, athletic trainers, amateur athletes, and health care professionals.

Introduction quote “You're out to work or you have a big dinner, that's the worst thing you can do is to have a huge meal, and to have it be a lot of calories because then your body's not going to be able to rest and digest when you're sleeping, which is when you do your recovery.” — Julie H. Burns Guest bio Julie H. Burns, MS, RD, CCN is the founder of SportFuel, Inc. and Eat Like the Pros® – an integrative sports nutrition and wellness consulting firm and organic meal delivery service. She regularly provides nutrition guidance to coaches, athletic trainers, amateur athletes, and health care professionals. You can find out more about Julie on LinkedIn | Twitter, and through her companies Sport Fuel and Eat Like The Pros. Key Takeaways [:58] David introduces today's guest, Julie Burns and reminisces about how they met before diving into what brought Julie to become a nutritionist. From attending the same college as her mom to supervising the BlackHawks nutrition program, Julie touches on how her nutrition advice evolved from the '90s “high carb, low fat” to what it is today. [6:06] What is functional nutrition? Julie breaks down how a “whole health” approach enables the personalization of nutrition as well as how they go about finding the root of people's health issues, from initial meeting to specialized, curated testing. [8:50] Although one size doesn't fit all when it comes to nutrition, the foundational role of the circadian rhythm in nutrition is becoming more clear as research comes out. Your biggest meal should be around noon, coinciding with peak digestion. Restrict eating — eat during daylight/fast when it's dark. Mornings are more insulin sensitive. [11:13] David speaks to a specific personal issue with getting bloated even when fasting which Julie says is a red flag! She asks some pointed questions that could lead to potential answers. Did you know that training naturally elicits a cortisol response which in turn wears down the intestinal lining? [13:53] What can laymen look for when starting on a functional nutrition journey? People have done really well on a variety of starkly different diets — from Inuit peoples to the Maasai — however, they all have a few key components in common: no processed foods, low toxicity, low stress levels, community, and proximity to nature. [15:58] Julie offers a very simple process for determining your food sensitivities. By removing inflammatory foods — sugar, corn, soy, dairy, nuts — and adding them back slowly, your body will quickly tell you if there is an issue. [17:16] Do you get hangry? Do you crave sugar? That's a nutrition red flag. Julie touches on insulin sensitivity and how real foods and lowering your carb intake can help you flatten insulin peaks and drops and establish a stable base. [20:00] What's good breakfast food? IF you eat breakfast is the caveat! Julie recommends around 20 grams of protein, healthy fats, and veggies or low-sugar fruit. (Keep in mind that one oz. of meat is around seven grams of protein.) [25:21] The body does heal itself, so your age shouldn't stop you from trying to improve your overall health! Julie lists the tests from adrenals, thyroid, pancreas to the gut, immune and brain function, followed by sex hormones, and finally liver, lymph, and kidney function. [28:45] Julie does believe in the importance of supplements, but she is adamant that no amount of supplementation will save you from a bad diet. She touches on what to look for in your own life to better inform your supplementation routine, from organ meats to healthy fats and countering medication-related depletions. [31:59] Muscle cramping is a sign of deficiency, David and Julie discuss Magnesium delivery systems as well as root reasons for this deficiency. [30:27] Alcohol… The research is all over the place but the more recent information seems to say that anything over two drinks for a man and one drink for a woman is toxic. Julie shares her tips on how to counter some of the negative aspects of drinking. [38:50] Vegetarian/vegan/carnivorous, which is best? Julie offers her professional opinion starting with “it depends on the person.” She does offer that in the long term, the vegan diet may not be healthy and explains how and why vegetarian and carnivorous can work for some people. [45:47] Julie talks about epigenetics and the future of nutrition and how much she is NuCalming! [48:00] David thanks Julie Burns for coming on the podcast and invites listeners to tune into the next episode.
