I pray also that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which he has called you, the riches of his glorious inheritance in the saints, and his incomparably great power for us who believe. That power is like the working of his mighty strength, which he exerted in Christ when he raised him from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly realms, far above all rule and authority, power and dominion, and every title that can be given, not only in the present age but also in the one to come.

What if healing your mind starts with understanding your brain? In this powerful and practical episode, Terrina Picarello, Licensed Professional Counselor, Brain-Based Therapist, and Mental Health Nutritionist, joins the conversation to explore how true healing goes far beyond traditional talk therapy. With extensive training in brain health, EMDR therapy, and integrative care, Terrina shares how looking at the function of the brain itself can unlock breakthroughs in mental health, relationships, and overall well-being. Drawing from her work alongside organizations like the Amen Clinics, Terrina explains how many emotional and behavioral struggles are rooted in brain system imbalances, stress response patterns, and nutritional deficiencies — and how addressing these core issues can create lasting transformation. This episode dives into: How brain-based therapy works and why it matters, The connection between brain health and emotional regulation, Trauma recovery through EMDR and brain-focused approaches, The role of mental health nutrition in healing and resilience, How brain function impacts relationships, couples, and family dynamics, And practical ways to begin rewiring your mind for better outcomes. Terrina also discusses the importance of individualized care, explaining that no two brains — and no two healing journeys — are the same. Through customized treatment plans, brain assessments, and integrative support, she helps clients address the root causes of their struggles rather than just the symptoms. Her mission is to guide individuals, couples, and families toward lasting healing, balance, and a renewed sense of purpose — addressing not just the mind, but the connection between body, brain, and overall wellness. Whether you're dealing with anxiety, trauma, relationship challenges, or simply looking to optimize your mental health, this episode offers valuable insights into how a brain-first approach can change everything.

Hey Heal Squad! It's Throwback Thursday, and since April is Autism Awareness Month, we're bringing back this really eye-opening conversation with Kyland Young,  known from Big Brother and The Challenge, and a member of the historic Cookout alliance. In this episode, Kyland opens up about receiving a late autism diagnosis in his 30s and how that completely shifted the way he understands himself, his relationships, and the way he moves through the world. He shares what it was like growing up just feeling “different,” how being on Big Brother actually led to his diagnosis, and the relief that came with finally having answers. He also gets into how his brain processes information, what social interactions can feel like on the spectrum, and the tools he's used to adapt, learn, and thrive. Such a powerful one to revisit!

Dr. Eboni Cornish is the Associate Medical Director at Amen Clinics and president-elect of the International Lyme and Associated Diseases Society (ILADS), with 16+ years specializing in neuroinflammation, Lyme disease, mold illness, PANS/PANDAS, and long COVID. In this episode, she joins Karena to break down the overlooked root causes driving brain fog, anxiety, poor sleep, and chronic illness — making the case that most people suffering from mood and cognitive symptoms have an underlying physical cause that's going completely undetected. What if the anxiety, brain fog, and exhaustion you've been managing as mental health symptoms are actually your body flagging something physical — something that's never been investigated? When mental health is treated as brain health, the entire conversation changes. Dr. Eboni Cornish shows us what's possible when we stop medicating symptoms and start asking why. (02:15) Brain Health Is the Missing Piece of Longevity You can sauna, plunge, and lift — but if you're not sleeping, your brain can't heal Non-restorative sleep is the number one red flag your brain is under stress Hormones, cortisol, and fight-or-flight mode all disrupt sleep Supplements Dr. Cornish recommends: L-theanine, GABA, and magnesium (18:31) Mold, Environmental Toxins & Your Mood Mold toxins cause inflammation that mimics depression, anxiety, and even dementia Some patients' mood symptoms resolved entirely after leaving a water-damaged building HLA gene testing can reveal whether your body can clear mold toxins or retains them Brain fog is a symptom, not a diagnosis (33:49) Lyme Disease, Tick Bites & PANS/PANDAS in Kids and Adults Less than 50% of people with Lyme ever notice a tick bite or bullseye rash Lyme is a global disease, a "great imitator" that can present as depression, fatigue, or psychosis In kids, sudden personality changes after illness can signal PANS/PANDAS, an autoimmune neuropsychiatric response Thanks for the support from our partners, including: Guest Resources Visit Dr. Eboni Cornish's website (https://www.drebonicornish.com/) Follow her on Instagram (https://www.instagram.com/dr.ebonicornish/) Learn about Amen Clinics (https://www.amenclinics.com) Find an ILADS-trained physician (https://www.ilads.org) If this episode moved you, please consider supporting The Big Silence Foundation and exploring our resources: Connect with The Big Silence Community Order: The Big Silence Memoir audiobook (https://thebigsilence.com/pages/audiobook) Shop The Big Silence Self Love Collection (https://thebigsilence.com/collections/shop-all) Subscribe on YouTube (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCaL3RrbvDLuTTGFN4VYzEpw) Donate to The Big Silence Foundation (https://thebigsilence.com/donate) The Big Silence Resource Guide (https://thebigsilence.com/pages/resources) Find exclusive offers from our supporters (https://thebigsilence.com/pages/our-podcast-partners) Show Resources: VISIT THE CHALLENGE PAGE (https://my.toneitup.com/pages/new-year-new-tiyou-challenge) THE BIG SILENCE PODCAST (https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-big-silence/id1607181597) TONE IT DOWN PODCAST (https://my.toneitup.com/pages/tone-it-down-podcast) Tone It Up App (https://my.toneitup.com/pages/tone-it-up-app) Tone It Up YouTube (https://www.youtube.com/@toneitup/featured) Tone It Up Instagram (https://www.instagram.com/toneitup/?hl=en) Have a message for Karena?

Hey Heal Squad! We're back with Dr. Steven Storage  and today we're getting into the best ways to actually support an ADHD brain. In this episode, we unpack how ADHD shows up in ways you might not expect, like why what we often call “brain fog” is really about how the brain is taking in, organizing, and storing information,  and once you understand that, everything starts to make more sense. We also dive into how trauma and chronic stress impact the brain, affecting focus, emotional regulation, and even showing up in relationships through things like fear of disappointing others or getting stuck in shame cycles. And one of the biggest mindset shifts in this conversation? ADHD isn't something to fight,  it's something to learn how to work with. Dr. Storage breaks down five core habits that can truly support your brain: prioritizing sleep, moving your body daily, fueling yourself with the right nutrition, building smart structure (instead of relying on motivation), and creating external accountability. Because ADHD brains don't thrive in isolation, they thrive with support systems in place.This episode is such a powerful reminder that your brain isn't broken, it just works differently. And when you understand it, you can finally start supporting it in a way that actually works. HEALERS & HEAL LINERS Small Daily Habits = Big Brain Changes: You don't need to overhaul your life, just focus on the foundations: sleep, movement, nutrition, structure, and accountability. These small, consistent habits can make a huge difference in how your brain feels and performs. Stop Fighting Your Brain,  Start Working With It: When you learn how your brain works, you can finally create systems that support you instead of drain you. ADHD Can Show Up in Relationships as Fear, Not Effort: Many people with ADHD deeply care, but it can show up as fear of disappointing others, overthinking, or shutting down, not lack of effort. Understanding this can completely change how you show up with each other.

Hey, Heal Squad! If you've ever wondered whether you might have ADHD this episode is going to hit. We sat down with Dr. Steven Storage, a board-certified adult and child psychiatrist at Amen Clinics, and he completely reframed what ADHD actually is  and what it isn't. Because here's the thing: ADHD isn't just about focus. It's about how your brain regulates attention, energy, and emotion  and for so many people, it's been misunderstood or missed entirely. Dr. Storage breaks down why ADHD is often misdiagnosed as anxiety or depression, especially in people who are high-functioning and “getting by” on the outside, but internally feel overwhelmed, disorganized, or exhausted from working twice as hard. Instead of giving a simple checklist, he explains why there's no one-size-fits-all test for ADHD and why it's more about recognizing patterns over time. In fact, he walks us through seven key patterns that might signal ADHD, including things like struggling to start tasks unless you're excited about them and dealing with chronic disorganization! We also get into why ADHD can actually come with some powerful strengths like creativity, intuition, and big-picture thinking! Maria had so many “wait…that's me” moments in this conversation,  and honestly, you probably will too! HEALERS & HEAL LINERS ADHD Isn't About Focus, It's About Regulation: Your brain struggles to regulate attention, energy, and emotion. That's why you can hyper-focus on what you love, but feel stuck or overwhelmed with everything else. ADHD Misdiagnosed: So many people are treated for anxiety or depression first, when ADHD is actually the root cause. If you've been “getting by” but working twice as hard, it's worth looking deeper. Your Brain Isn't Broken, It's Different: ADHD brains can be incredibly powerful: creative, intuitive, big-picture thinkers. The goal isn't to “fix” yourself. it's to understand how your brain works and learn how to work with it.

In this episode of Resiliency Radio with Dr. Jill, Dr. Jill Carnahan explores the growing science behind brain inflammation and its connection to chronic illness with Dr. Eboni Cornish. Dr. Cornish, Associate Medical Director at Amen Clinics and Treasurer of the International Lyme and Associated Diseases Society, shares how underlying inflammation in the brain can drive symptoms often labeled as psychiatric, neurological, or behavioral conditions. Together, they discuss how mold toxicity, chronic infections, gut dysfunction, hormone imbalances, and environmental toxins can disrupt brain health and lead to symptoms such as brain fog, anxiety, depression, personality changes, and fatigue. This powerful conversation highlights the importance of identifying root causes of neuroinflammation and offers hope for individuals struggling with complex chronic conditions through advanced diagnostics, functional medicine strategies, and personalized care.

Dr. Steven Storage is a child, adolescent, and adult psychiatrist at Amen Clinics, where brain SPECT imaging is used to diagnose and treat conditions like ADHD at the neurological level. In this episode, he and Karena cover the four pillars of brain health, how social media hijacks your dopamine, why ADHD is both genetic and environmental, the seven subtypes of ADHD, what low dopamine actually feels like, and a simple cognitive technique to stop negative thoughts from running your day. What happens to your focus, your mood, and your sense of self when your brain isn't getting what it needs — and how do you even know? Dr. Storage breaks down the neuroscience in a way that's impossible to unhear, from why one bad night of sleep costs you 30% of your executive function to how your social media habit may be draining the same brain chemical you need to feel motivated. This is the brain health conversation that has been missing from the wellness space. (00:38) The Four Pillars of Brain Health Sleep, exercise, nutrition, and avoiding toxins — the foundation for a functioning brain 20 minutes of higher-intensity cardio every other day shown to be as powerful as antidepressant medication for the brain What the brain is actually doing while you sleep  Food is fuel or garbage — why refined sugar and processed foods are inflammatory for the brain (07:07) Social Media, Dopamine & the Addiction Loop Social media is engineered to produce a dopamine spike, and the crash after is real Doom scrolling depletes the same chemical needed for focus, motivation, and productivity Why students who decompress with video games before homework are setting themselves up to struggle (11:59) ADHD Explained — Genetics, Perimenopause & What's Really Happening ADHD is one of the most genetic conditions in psychiatry ADHD as a supply-demand issue: blood flow to the prefrontal cortex vs. the demands placed on it Why perimenopause triggers ADHD-like symptoms  The difference between brain fog from perimenopause and preexisting ADHD — and why one makes the other worse (21:04) ADHD as a Superpower — And Why Medication Isn't the Enemy Why traits coded as ADHD likely survived evolution  Creativity, hyper-focus, intuition, outside-the-box thinking — the real strengths of an ADHD brain The mismatch between ADHD wiring and traditional classrooms: why Dr. Storage doesn't view ADHD as a disorder Stimulants vs. non-stimulants — what Adderall actually does to the prefrontal cortex The goal isn't to eliminate the superpower — it's to modulate the brain so you can access focus when you need it without losing creativity (32:35) Brain Development, Early Diagnosis & Rewiring Negative Thoughts The prefrontal cortex isn't fully developed until mid-to-late 20s — so how do you know when to treat? New MRI data: kids treated for ADHD before age 12 showed accelerated prefrontal cortex development Dr. Storage's three-step method for negative thought patterns Why meditation builds metacognitive awareness and helps thoughts pass like luggage on a conveyor belt Thanks for the support from our partners, including:  Guest Resources Follow Dr. Steven Storage on Instagram (https://www.instagram.com/drstevenstorage/) Follow Dr. Steven Storage on TikTok (https://www.tiktok.com/discover/dr-steven-storage) Visit Amen Clinics (https://www.amenclinics.com) If this episode moved you, please consider supporting The Big Silence Foundation and exploring our resources: Connect with The Big Silence Community Order: The Big Silence Memoir audiobook (https://thebigsilence.com/pages/audiobook) Shop The Big Silence Self Love Collection (https://thebigsilence.com/collections/shop-all) Subscribe on YouTube (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCaL3RrbvDLuTTGFN4VYzEpw) Donate to The Big Silence Foundation (https://thebigsilence.com/donate) The Big Silence Resource Guide (https://thebigsilence.com/pages/resources) Find exclusive offers from our supporters (https://thebigsilence.com/pages/our-podcast-partners)

Brain health problems rarely begin where most people look. Memory issues, low mood, poor focus, anxiety, and even early cognitive decline can be driven by hidden inflammation and root-cause imbalances long before they show up the way most people expect.In this episode, Dr. Eboni Cornish explains how chronic infections, mold, toxins, hormones, gut dysfunction, and oral or nasal microbial imbalances can all affect the brain, and why “mental health” often needs to be approached as brain health first.She also shares how tools like brain imaging, inflammation markers, and functional testing can uncover patterns that are often missed in standard workups, while outlining the core foundations that support long-term brain health, including sleep, exercise, omega-3s, vitamin D, hormone balance, gut health, and detox capacity.Join the most comprehensive *female-specific community for health and longevity optimization.* After over a decade dedicated to human performance and women's health, I created this space to share everything you need to know to optimize health and lifespan.

In this Season 14 review (Part 3) Andrea revisits key insights from Dr. Shane Creado on the critical link between sleep, concussions and performance. The episode explains how even mild or repeated head impacts and sleep deprivation damage the same brain regions that support learning, memory, decision-making and emotional regulation, and how one all‑nighter can reduce hippocampal learning capacity by around 40%. Practical takeaways include treating sleep as neurological recovery (7–9 hours), protecting the brain after head jolts, avoiding late alcohol and screens, and prioritizing consistent sleep routines to restore learning, resilience and long‑term brain health for athletes, students and professionals. Welcome back to SEASON 14 of The Neuroscience Meets Social and Emotional Learning Podcast, where we connect the science-based evidence behind social and emotional learning and emotional intelligence training for improved well-being, achievement, productivity and results—using what I saw as the missing link (since we weren't taught this when we were growing up in school), the application of practical neuroscience. I'm Andrea Samadi, and seven years ago, launched this podcast with a question I had never truly asked myself before: (and that is) If productivity and results matter to us—and they do now more than ever—how exactly are we using our brain to make them happen? Most of us were never taught how to apply neuroscience to improve productivity, results, or well-being. About a decade ago, I became fascinated by the mind-brain-results connection—and how science can be applied to our everyday lives. That's why I've made it my mission to bring you the world's top experts—so together, we can explore the intersection of science and social-emotional learning. We'll break down complex ideas and turn them into practical strategies we can use every day for predictable, science-backed results. As we are nearing the end of Season 14 here, it has been about reflection as we have looked back and reviewed past interviews. Our goal has not been about nostalgia, or remembering these interviews, the goal has been about integrating what we have learned. Taking what we know, aligning it with how the brain actually functions, and applying it consistently enough to change outcomes. And if there's one thing this season has reinforced, it's this: Sustainable success isn't built on intensity or focus alone—it's built on alignment. As we move into what's next, (Season 15) the focus shifts from understanding this alignment to bringing this alignment into a tangible, physical form, or embodiment. Not more information—but better execution. After hundreds of conversations with neuroscientists, educators, peak performers, and thought leaders, one truth keeps resurfacing— lasting success is never about doing more. It's about alignment. Alignment between how the brain actually works, how emotions drive behavior, and how daily habits compound over time. Season 14 has been about stepping back—not to reminisce, but to integrate what we have learned into our current life. I knew the minute that I was sent a couple of video clips from our past episodes, that I had forgotten about, that while I thought I had implemented the ideas from our past guests, I had some work to go myself. For this reason, we spent Season 14 and will resume with Season 15 next January, reviewing past episodes, with the goal of noticing what we have now aligned, that's bringing us results in our daily life. Core Reflection When we started this podcast 7 years ago, the goal was simple: bridge neuroscience research with practical strategies people could actually use. What I didn't fully appreciate then—what only became clear through repetition, reflection, and real-life application—is that information alone doesn't create change. Understanding the brain doesn't matter if we ignore what to do with the information we release each week: improving our sleep reducing our stress practicing emotional regulation with consistency that actually changes who we are at the core: our identity Season 14 has been about connecting those dots. Listening again to conversations with voices like Dr. John Medina, Dawson Church, Bob Proctor, Dr. John Ratey, Friederike Fabritius, and so many others, one pattern became impossible to ignore: The brain thrives on simplicity, repetition, and finding emotional safety to implement these concepts—not intensity or a quick fix. We will take the time with each interview review to offer ways for all of us to implement the lessons learned, so that when we finish 2026, we will be able to look back, and see where our changes all began. This week, we move onto PART 3 of our review of EP 72[i] with Shane Creado, MD and his book Peak Sleep Performance for Athletes recorded back in July of 2020. ✔ In PART 1[ii], we covered: How strategic napping, morning brain habits, and even the Silva Method all work together to reset your brain, boost performance, and transform your health from the inside out. ✔ In PART 2[iii] we continued with our review, diving a bit deeper into sleep deprivation and its impact of performance (whether you are an athlete, or just someone looking to improve productivity). ✔ PART 3, we will go a bit deeper into the impacts of concussions and brain injuries on our sleep and performance. Let's go back to 2020 and revisit what Dr. Creado had to say about sleep in this last episode of this season.   VIDEO 1 – Click Here to Watch   In the first clip of this episode, with Dr. Creado, he dives into the connection with concussions and sleep. He says, “Most people who have had a concussion end up with sleep problems. It makes a lot of sense when you think about the brain and how it regulates sleep and wakeful cycles and then it gets jarred. But what people don't realize is that even a mild head injury can really damage your brain. Even if you're not officially diagnosed with a concussion, you don't have to lose consciousness to have a concussion. You don't even need to have any symptoms to have your brain injured in some way. And then the little injuries along the way add up over time. So the brain is as soft as butter and in a hard, bony skull. Anything that jars it, even whiplash can cause your brain to be injured. And it accumulates over time. What's interesting is that the same regions of the brain that are most damaged in head injuries are also damaged in sleep deprivation and also alcohol use. The frontal lobes, the temporal lobes and the parietal lobes at the top of the brain.”

Join Andrea Samadi as she reviews Dr. Shane Creado's insights on why sleep is a core pillar of brain health, how chronic sleep deprivation harms reaction time, inflammation, pain perception, and why children pay the highest price. Learn practical sleep strategies—consistent schedules, light management, wind-down routines—and how the Silva Method's mind-training can deepen restorative sleep for athletes, high performers, and families.

PART 3, next week, we will go a bit deeper into the impacts of concussions and brain injuries on our sleep and performance. Just a reminder: Dr. Creado is a double board-certified sleep medicine doctor and psychiatrist who practices functional sleep medicine, integrative psychiatry, and sports psychiatry. He brings all of these specialties together to uncover the underlying factors that sabotage our sleep and then treats them comprehensively, helping people to achieve their health and performance goals with sleep at the forefront As we work through our reviews, we will spend a considerable amount of time on this important health staple that's scientifically proven to boost our physical and mental health. For today's EP 379, and PART 2 of our review of our 2020 interview with Dr. Shane Creado, we will cover: ✔ Sleep as a core pillar of health according to Dr. Shane Creado, author of Peak Sleep Performance for Athletes. ✔ Sleep deprivation is a national crisis and kid's pay the highest price. ✔ 7 Well-Known Tips for Improving Sleep ✔ Applying the Silva Method to Reset and Improve Our Sleep ✔ Important sleep tips for athletes and high performers   Let's go back to 2020 and revisit what Dr. Creado had to say about sleep. CLIP 1 — Why Sleep Is Non-Negotiable for Brain Health Short Explanation: In Clip 1, Dr. Shane Creado explains that sleep is a foundational pillar of brain health, equal in importance to exercise and nutrition. He emphasizes that without optimizing sleep, it is impossible to truly optimize learning, emotional regulation, focus, or performance. Dr. Creado highlights that chronic sleep deprivation is widespread in the U.S., often unnoticed, and especially damaging for children—where lack of deep sleep suppresses growth hormone, increases obesity risk, and raises the likelihood of developing mental-health challenges later in life. His message is clear: when sleep improves, the entire “fabric” of life and health begins to change. VIDEO 1 – Click Here to Watch In our next video clip from Dr. Creado, I ask him to dive deeper into optimizing our brain health with a quote from his book that reads “your brain health and sports performance cannot be optimized unless your sleep is optimized. And once this is achieved your quality of life will skyrocket. When you sleep well, the fabric of your life will change. And when this happens, it will have a ripple effect.” This sounds like a simple concept, but for those of us who have been working on improving this pillar, we know it's one of those concepts that easier said, than done. Let's hear Dr. Creado's thoughts on my question- And Dr. Creado replied that “sleep is one of the pillars of brain health along with exercise and nutrition. And we need to make sure we're getting the right amount of sleep. Most adults and most teenagers don't know about this but a vast majority, 70 million Americans suffer from a sleep problem. And way more than those suffer from sleep deprivation, chronic sleep deprivation. If a child is deprived of sleep, their growth hormone levels will be suppressed because deep sleep is where growth hormone levels peak, so basically you are going to be stunting your growth. Over 80% of kids who are sleep deprived go on to develop obesity. There's a huge overlap between kids who are chronically sleep deprived who manifest mental health conditions later in life.”

 Did you know that your brain function can affect spirituality? If your brain controls everything in your body and mind, does it also somehow affect your relationship with God? Today's guest, Dr. Daniel Amen, is a physician, child and adult psychiatrist, brain imaging specialist, bestselling author, and the CEO and medical director of Amen Clinics. Dr. Amen takes a holistic, practical approach in linking a dynamic feedback loop that exists between the brain and the events in our lives. Today he discusses the neurological connection we have to our souls as well as offering tips for a healthier brain, no matter our age. Dr. Daniel Amen has studied the brains of loving people, as well as evil people. His research has shown that racism and hatred often involve problems in the brain. People like this may hold grudges as they can't let things go. They cannot change their opinion because of brain function.  Dr. Amen has compared the brains of inmates, including murderers, and tests have shown clear deficits in the activity in their brains. If they are medicated, they may become calmer and more understanding. He further discusses the importance of examining our thoughts. He suggests writing out what you are thinking. Must you believe every thought you have? Try talking back to depressive thoughts and try to think in a more positive direction. This will start to balance the brain function. You can apply these methods to begin to gain a sense of relief. He also discusses the importance of physical exercise, as well as learning something new. This is so imperative, especially as we age. It increases blood flow to the brain and can be used to help prevent memory loss. Dr. Amen also discusses supplements, including Ginkgo Biloba, St John's Wort, and Vitamin E. If you would like to try supplementation, always be sure to consult with your healthcare practitioner first. Dr. Amen has also studied how prayer and meditation improve brain function. He suggests teaching children this as a method of focus, rather than playing video games which has the opposite effect. Dr. Amen and his clinics are dedicated to improving lives through education, the latest advances in neuroimaging, and individualized treatment plans. He has numerous bestselling books and at this time of this interview, his latest book was "Healing the Hardware of the Soul." Info: AmenClinics.com

Paul says to shine, we need joy… so joy is what we study today. Paul wrote to the Philippians from the grimmest of circumstances - in jail, facing death, brutally beaten, and yet his letter was filled with calls to rejoice. How could that be? Paul seems to have figured out the secret that joy isn't rooted in success or control. It's grounded in something much deeper: that Christ has risen and death itself has been defeated.00:00 — What do I actually know to be true?00:28 — Why science can't tell you what matters most01:16 — Paul's command in Philippians 3:16 explained01:38 — Reflecting honestly: what do I know?02:06 — Truth #1: It is good to be alive03:17 — Why life is a gift worth celebrating05:25 — Gratitude: letting “good to be alive” shape your day06:10 — Truth #2: I ought to pursue the good07:15 — Truth #3: Why despair is always wrong08:34 — Truth #4: I need help (12 steps and prayer)09:26 — Truth #5: People are immensely valuable10:32 — Paul's invitation: live up to what you already knowBecome New is here to help you grow spiritually one day at a time.TEXT US at 855-888-0444EMAIL US at connect@becomenew.comGET OUR WEEKDAY EMAILS WITH EXTRA GOODIES at becomenew.com/subscribeGET A TEXT REMINDER FOR NEW VIDEOS: text BECOME to 855-888-0444SEND US PRAYER REQUESTS: via text or email; we'll send you a written prayer from our team

In Part Two of Dr. Phil's conversation with John Kiriakou, the former CIA officer who blew the whistle on torture, we dive deeper into the personal and political fallout of speaking truth to power. Kiriakou opens up about the realities of the Whistleblower Protection Act, the harsh consequences of challenging the CIA, and his time in federal prison. He and Dr. Phil also confront the rise of government surveillance and privacy concerns, and reflect on how U.S. policy shifted in the wake of 9/11. Now an advocate and author, Kiriakou shares what drives his work today and the lessons learned from paying the ultimate price for exposing hidden truths.

As new victims emerge and trial strategies clash, Dr. Phil explores the lasting trauma, evolving M.O., and dark psychology behind the Gilgo Beach murders.   The bodies were just the beginning. In Part 3 of the Gilgo Beach investigation, Dr. Phil dives deeper into the mind of the alleged killer and the ripples of destruction still unfolding. A decades-old cold case.

Dr. Phil unpacks the psychological rituals of serial killers, from their obsession with control to the twisted fantasy rehearsals that fuel their crimes. Why do their methods evolve? How do they evade capture for decades? And what scars are left behind for the families—both of the victims and the accused? This episode also revisits Shannan Gilbert, the woman whose 911 call started it all, and the tragic murder of her mother, Mary, who fought tirelessly for justice before becoming a victim herself.

Dr. Phil exposes "pig butchering" scams, $3 billion stolen, victims worldwide, and trafficked workers forced to scam. The fraud isn't just financial... it's human.   Welcome to the dark economy you never knew you were part of. Dr. Phil dives deep into one of the most sinister online crimes taking over phones, apps, and wallets: Pig Butchering Scams. These scams aren't just clever, they're coordinated, global operations defrauding Americans out of billions. In 2023 alone, the losses surpassed $3 billion, with a 183% spike in cases over the previous year. But here's the chilling twist: the scammers themselves are often victims, lured by fake job offers, trafficked, and forced to run these schemes under the threat of violence. Dr. Phil unpacks how these psychological traps work, why smart people fall for them, and what makes them almost impossible to trace. He speaks with cybercrime experts, survivors of the scams, and a former scammer who was trafficked into the fraud machine. This isn't just a scam story, it's a human rights crisis.

A missing woman, a chilling 911 call, and four bodies buried in burlap. Dr. Phil investigates how the Gilgo Beach murders began and why no one listened until it was too late. Gilgo Beach was supposed to be a summer escape but it hid a nightmare. When 23-year-old Shannan Gilbert vanished after a frantic 911 call, her disappearance led police to a shocking discovery: four women buried in burlap along a desolate stretch of Long Island highway. In this chilling first installment, Dr. Phil unpacks the first wave of victims, dubbed the “Gilgo Four” and the mounting failures that let a killer stay in the shadows for years. From ignored red flags to disturbing patterns in the victims' profiles, he analyzes how society's bias against sex workers enabled this predator to hunt unnoticed. Why were these women targeted? Why was Shannan's cry for help dismissed? And what does the killer's choice of victims say about how we value some lives over others? Dr. Phil doesn't just follow the evidence he explores the psychology behind the crime. This episode lays the groundwork for understanding one of the most haunting serial murder cases in American history and what it reveals about justice, vulnerability, and the darkness that hides in plain sight.

Those on the far left need to read the Bible carefully and practice what Jesus preached, not some made-up political theology that equates Christianity with wokeness. It's simply not true.

Part 2: Three men say they were groomed and sexually abused by their female teachers. Dr. Phil investigates the rise of women offenders hiding in plain sight in America's classrooms. Sexual abuse by female teachers is a growing, often overlooked crisis. Dr. Phil speaks with Michael, Justin, and Mason three men who say they were groomed, manipulated, and assaulted by women entrusted with their education. Michael and Justin were teens when their 25-year-old teacher used homework help as a gateway to off-campus meetings involving alcohol, drugs, and sex. Mason was just 11 when a married 35-year-old teacher violated his trust and his childhood. Their attorneys, Zach Runyan and Jon Marko, claim school systems and social media enabled this abuse by turning a blind eye. Christy Jack, a defense attorney who's represented several teachers accused of assault, offers rare insight into the psychology of female offenders.

Not long ago, conditions like Alzheimer's were rare, but today, nearly one in two people over 80 are diagnosed with it. In contrast, in places like the Amazon, dementia affects only about one in a hundred—highlighting how modern lifestyle plays a major role in brain health. The brain isn't an isolated organ; it's deeply influenced by diet, sleep, movement, stress, toxins, and emotional well-being. Many people who once struggled with brain fog, depression, or memory loss have experienced dramatic improvements by healing their bodies—addressing gut health, detoxifying harmful substances, optimizing nutrition, and supporting the brain's energy systems. With the right tools, including targeted nutrients, lifestyle changes, and even therapies like breathwork or plant medicines, it's now possible not only to protect the brain from decline but also to enhance clarity, focus, and resilience at any age. In this episode, I discuss, along with Dr. Daniel Amen and Alberto Villoldo, how the body and brain are intimately connected and how we can think and feel better when we address our overall health first. Dr. Daniel Amen is a physician, double board-certified psychiatrist, twelve-time NY Times bestselling author, and founder and CEO of Amen Clinics, with 10 US locations. Dr. Amen is the author of many books including the mega-bestseller Change Your Brain, Change Your Life, as well as The End of Mental Illness, Memory Rescue, Healing ADD, and Your Brain Is Always Listening. In March 2022, Tyndale will publish his new book, You, Happier: The 7 Neuroscience Secrets of Feeling Good Based on Your Brain Type.   Alberto Villoldo, Ph.D., is a medical anthropologist, psychologist and shaman, who studied the spiritual practices of the Amazon and the Andes for more than 30 years. While at San Francisco State University, he founded the Biological Self-Regulation Laboratory to study how the mind creates psychosomatic health and disease.  Founder of The Four Winds Society, he instructs individuals throughout the world in the practice of energy medicine. Dr. Villoldo has written numerous bestselling books, including Power Up Your Brain: The Neuroscience of Enlightenment (with David Perlmutter MD), Shaman, Healer, Sage; and WSJ bestseller One Spirit Medicine.   This episode is brought to you by BIOptimizers.
