Today we discuss PEMFs (Pulsed Electro Magnetic Field Devices) with Ed Skor of BEMER. Their technology is used by NASA due to its patented waveform therapy which can increase your circulation by 30%. We talk about BEMER's history, different uses of their groundbreaking PEMF, and how often they recommend their therapy.PEMFs offer a wide range of healing benefits. I've personally enjoyed using the BEMER therapy as part of healing my low back herniations. Being active is hugely important to my performance in every area of my life including mood, relationship, athletics (duh), business, and more. The BEMER is a part of my daily routine so I can stay active for decades to come.PEMFs work to:Reduce pain, inflammation, the effects of stress on the body, and platelet adhesion.Improve energy, circulation, blood and tissue oxygenation, sleep quality, blood pressure and cholesterol levels, the uptake of nutrients, cellular detoxification and the ability to regenerate cells.Balance the immune system and stimulate RNA and DNA.Accelerate repair of bone and soft tissue.Relax muscles.For more information on Dr Chris Frykman and Ed Skor well as some of the strategies discussed in today's show please visit www.DrChrisFrykman.com/BEMERpodcastFor more great health information please visit www.DrChrisFrykman.com Like us on FaceBook at www.facebook.com/VibrantPotential Get the latest updates on twitter at www.twitter.com/DrChrisFrykman Thank you so much for checking out this episode of the Vibrant Potential podcast.

Today's episode is one of the utmost importance.In today's health care model you need to understand what's going on. It's very important you find someone you can trust. Someone who has your best interests in mind. Even with that though you need to educate yourself about potential dangers because in the end, it's YOUR life we're talking about here!Root Canals are dangerous. Period. Then again what are you supposed to do once you've let your oral hygiene go downhill to the point you need to get rid of a tooth? (not that it's always your fault) It's not an easy situation to be in.Today Dr Karl Anderson and I discuss the importance of understanding the dangers of root canals, their potential association with breast cancer and other health challenges and we do it using the milieu of Shamanie's journey with Cancer and healing.For more information on Dr Chris Frykman and Dr Karl Anderson well as some of the strategies discussed in today's show please visit www.DrChrisFrykman.com/RootCanalsFor more great health information please visit www.DrChrisFrykman.com Like us on FaceBook at www.facebook.com/VibrantPotential Get the latest updates on twitter at www.twitter.com/DrChrisFrykman Thank you so much for checking out this episode of the Vibrant Potential podcast.

Today’s episode is an exciting one. Hal Runkel is a favorite author of mine. Hal's books are easy to read AND easy to apply. They also somehow seem to target specific issues and yet also encompass so much of what’s important if you want to change your experience of life. We cover a ton of ground today including delving into his latest book, choose your own adulthood. Honoring the truth that none of us are perfect Hal encourages us to simply move in a direction that serves us. Some of his concepts include classics like “be more interested, and be less interestING”, He gives a great way for you to discern whether you’re responding (which he welcomes you to do more of) or reacting (which he encourages you to do less of). He recommends you create more and critique less and perhaps my favorite chapter in his new book, confront more, complain less. If you’re like me you’ve certainly found yourself complaining from time to time, in my case more often that I care to admit, whether it’s to others, to myself, or even ABOUT myself, it never seems to help much! …Confronting on the other hand, when done with a gentle and well-intentioned manner can actually bring about positive change. Even if that change is simply deeper understanding of others.

  This week’s interview is a special treat.  Matthew Ferry is a highly conscious business coach.  He’s personally coached thousands of people to realize greater financial and business success and he does that through a very unique approach.  What Matthew helps many to see is that FORCING outward success may fail but even if it succeeds there’s a high cost.  Including peace of mind and I’ll add physical health too.  The heavy burden of attempting to control the stock market, your clients, the economy and or the universe is just too much for most to bear. Today you’re in for tons of great nuggets, any one of which can bring you more success as well as peace.  Here’s to your Power, Profit, and Peace.   For more information on Dr Chris Frykman and Matthew Ferry well as some of the strategies discussed in today's show please visit www.DrChrisFrykman.com/P3 For more great health information please visit www.DrChrisFrykman.com                Like us on FaceBook at www.facebook.com/VibrantPotential                     Get the latest updates on twitter at www.twitter.com/DrChrisFrykman   Thank you so much for checking out this episode of the Vibrant Potential podcast.

In today’s episode, I interview Dr Zach Bush, MD.  I’ll let you listen to the intro I give him for the details but suffice it to say this guy knows his stuff.  One of literally a handful of medical doctors in the country to be triple boarded, he has a background that set him up perfectly to bring a new paradigm shift to the nutritional supplement world.  The interesting thing is he says his supplement doesn’t actually DO anything.  I’ll tell you though, this has become my favorite supplement-that-does-nothing to take multiple times a day.  I’ve really been looking forward to getting Dr Zach on my show for awhile because it almost seems like this supplement helps with just about everything from brain fog, to leaky gut, to detoxing, fixing your microbiome, to healing autoimmunity, and the list goes on.  Pretty good for a supplement that does nothing…  And in case you’re new to listening to Vibrant Potential, then first of all, welcome, and second, this is NOT a commercial for Restore, the supplement we are talking about.  I don’t do that.  What this is is a fascinating conversation about a completely different paradigm that is emerging in science which really has it’s origins in ancient wisdom.  Doesn’t it seem that so often the best new ideas are really old ideas?   For more information on Dr Chris Frykman and Dr Zach Bush, MD well as some of the strategies discussed in today's show please visit www.DrChrisFrykman.com/Restore For more great health information please visit www.DrChrisFrykman.com                Like us on FaceBook at www.facebook.com/VibrantPotential                     Get the latest updates on twitter at www.twitter.com/DrChrisFrykman   Thank you so much for checking out this episode of the Vibrant Potential podcast.

Today’s Guest, Brock Armstrong, is a podcast veteran.  Ifirst learned about Brock on the first podcast I listened to, BenGreenfield’s show.  Now I listen to a number of shows, in factI like so many different shows for different reasons that when Ipile my audiobooks on top of them, I rarely have enough time in aweek to listen to everything I want to.  But as I said, backthen Ben’s show was the first one I listened too and I enjoyedit.  Brock, I later learned, was editing the shows as well buthe was also the co-host.  And he and Ben sorta hammed it up ina casual way but spoke about some really cool topics if you’re intofitness and recovery and such like I am.  I reached out toBrock some time later and found out he’s worked with a lot of thegreat podcasts in the fitness and nutrition area with names likeMark Sisson, Endurance Planet, Dave Asprey (if you don’t don’t himby name, he’s the bullet proof coffee guy) and others.  Sobrock has been on tons of podcasts as well as behind thescenes.  and he’s soaked up a ton of info in the areas offitness, nutrition, and recovery.  He’s now running Skywalkerfitness and helping athletes with programs ranging from triathlonto running, to strengthening.  Brock is graciously offering a50% discount on a coaching consult.  Just email him andmention the discount code “vibrant”, and you can talk to Brock forhalf the usual rate.  I’ll post Brock’s emails and websitesand such on the show notes page for this episode.  You canfind all that at www.drchrisfrykman.com/skywalker. His email isbrock@skywalkerfitness.ca.   For those of you who are regular listeners of my show, you knowthat authenticity is a big value of mine and Brock doesn’tdisappoint.  We both discuss some of our own challenges withsleep routines, anxiety, what works for us and what doesn’t. We also talk quite a bit about loving what you do and checking inwith yourself (or your coach if you have one) about why you’reracing, if you’re racing.   Visit www.DrChrisFrykman.com/Skywalker tobe a part of the sleep challenge. For more information on Dr Chris Frykman and BrockArmstrong as well as some of the strategies discussed intoday's show please visit www.DrChrisFrykman.com/SkywalkerFor more great health information please visit www.DrChrisFrykman.com              Like us on FaceBook at www.facebook.com/VibrantPotential                  Get the latest updates on twitter at www.twitter.com/DrChrisFrykman Thank you so much for checking out this episode of the VibrantPotential podcast.

Dr. Chris Frykman has been a chiropractor for the past 16 years and he is also the host of the Vibrant Potential podcast. Chris focuses on natural and holistic healing methods and also specializes in brain health. I really like Chris's message and feel he does something very different than what most online business owners do. He runs a business that matches his lifestyle - not the other way around. I love this about him because so many people feel like they 'should' be doing something when in reality it has nothing to do with what they really and truly want. You seriously have to listen in for more amazing gems from Chris in today's episode.   Key Insights & Aha Moments: *Thank you for leaving iTunes reviews! *Chris is usually the only person in the office. *Chris understands he doesn't do everything well, so he’d rather outsource than hire employees. *However, there's nothing wrong with wanting to have a ton of employees in your office. Do what works for you. *Be careful about doing things you think you 'should' be doing. What do you really want? *Should you keep growing your business or do you want to grow your business? Why? *Chris wants to help 10,000 people reach their vibrant potential in 12 months. *Now that Chris has a very clear goal, he's able to say no to things that aren't aligned with his message. *When people say no to you, don't take the rejection seriously. Other people are busy too and are also working towards their best message. *You can achieve as big as you can dream. *Talk to mentors and other like-minded people about your goals. *It's not automatic that your current set of friends or family will be your biggest supporters on your entrepreneurial journey. *People who have negative opinions about what you're doing are usually reflecting something about themselves onto you. *Believe in yourself. *Let's talk about scarcity vs. abundant thinking for a moment. *Nothing moves when you're in the scarcity mindset. *However, there is no such thing as competition when you come from an abundance mindset.   Maven Moment: This interview was jam packed with a ton of information, but what I really loved from Chris was when he told me how easy it was to say no after he created a clear goal. I could completely resonate with Chris on this, because it can be so hard to say no, especially if your message is to help others. However, by having a clear goal in place, all of a sudden you know when to say yes and when to say a firm no. When you get dragged into too many 'yes' commitments it's not only exhausting, but it can be the reason why you burn out. Have a clear goal in mind so that it can lead you down a path that is more fulfilling and aligned with who you are.   Mentioned in This Episode: http://michellemcglade.com/ http://www.michellemcglade.com/mtm035/ https://www.facebook.com/groups/bizmaven/   Connect with Chris: Website Facebook

In Today’s Episode I’m bringing you Rafe Kelley.  He’s a movement coach that took his background in Parkour and developed his own art of movement method he calls, Evolve Move Play.  In today’s episode we explore why you’ll receive more bang for your buck, both financially and time-wise from exercising outdoors.  How to turn your exercise time into play time, why everyone should take a self defense class, and how do to it in ways that will make you more happy and more productive, and much much more.  Rafe is not only a thought leader in the physical movement arena, I found him to be very down to earth, which I always appreciate.  I highly recommend all his work, if you’re interested.  I’m planning on taking his week long course this coming August of 2016, and I’m excited about that.  You can find his links on the show note page for this episode.  And I think I made a goof.  I was saying in the episode the show notes were at going to be at www.drchrisfrykman.com/evolvemoveplay, which they are.  But then at the end I say www.drchrisfrykman.com/rafekelley.  haha  So you can type either of those things and they’ll both work.  You don’t need to be interested in his course to get a lot out of this episode though.  Please enjoy our conversation about a vision of bringing people to a more natural, more primal way of moving.  Let’s get people out of the gyms and back into the real world, moving for the joy of moving, not for the shame of being overweight or the fear of suffering a heart attack.  Whether you’re like me and you think of us as spiritual beings having a physical experience or you’re a materialist like Rafe and you think of yourself as a physical being having a mental experience, either way, the bottom line is when you move for the joy of movement, you’re going to have more happiness in life, you’ll never have to motivate yourself to workout again, and I guarantee you’ll be a more whole version of yourself.  Here’s to you living YOUR Vibrant Potential.  For more information on Dr Chris Frykman and Rafe Kelley as well as some of the strategies discussed in today's show please visit www.drchrisfrykman.com/evolvemoveplayFor more great health information please visit www.DrChrisFrykman.com               Like us on FaceBook at www.facebook.com/VibrantPotential                    Get the latest updates on twitter at www.twitter.com/DrChrisFrykman See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Many people struggling with chronic pain, inflammation, or other chronic symptoms and disease have an incredibly long and harrowing journey trying to find answers to what sometimes it seems no one can tell them… "What’s wrong with me?"  Because everyone is an individual and every body is different, I can’t tell you through a podcast what’s wrong with you or your loved one.  However, there are several good places to start digging.  The fundamentals I like to discuss with my clients and patients are something I borrowed from Dr Bob Rakowski, who I interview in episode 7.  He calls them the magnificent 7.  Eat Right, Drink Right, Move Right, Poop Right, Sleep Right, Think Right, and Talk Right.  These fundamentals are where you should probably be spending the majority of your time tweaking whether you’re struggling with a chronic condition or whether your a professional athlete.  They are the fundamentals because they are important to everyone.  Once you and your doctor feel these fundamentals are well attended to, there are some very good places to look if things are still not where you want them to be, regarding any area of your health. Today’s guest, Robby Besner has made it his life’s work to find innovative strategies to speed the clearance of toxins from our bodies.  In today’s episode Robby starts by sharing his daughter’s story of getting Lyme’s disease and how he and his wife have developed technologies to help heal their daughter and now fast forward 15 years they have several cutting edge technologies that are in various stages of FDA clearance so now you can benefit from these strategies as well.  I hope you enjoy this episode. If you find yourself having questions about your own healing journey, whether you’re wondering about one of these technologies we discuss here or whether you just want someone that can help you peel back the layers of the onion in regards to your own health, I’d love to meet you.  Visit my website, www.VibrantPotential.com, on the front page you can fill out your name, your email, and what you’d like to talk about.  It’s important to me to get people answers.  I can’t always do them for free but I do my best to offer free consultations and sometimes even full coaching sessions.  So if you are looking for answers to your current health challenges, fill that form out and I promise to get back to you within a day.  Enjoy the show.  For more information on Dr Chris Frykman and Robby Besner as well as some of the strategies discussed in today's show please visit www.drchrisfrykman.com/detoxstrategiesFor more great health information please visit www.DrChrisFrykman.com               Like us on FaceBook at www.facebook.com/VibrantPotential                    Get the latest updates on twitter at www.twitter.com/DrChrisFrykman See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Welcome to Vibrant Potential.  I’m your host, Dr Chris Frykman.  Today’s guest is Dr Jeff Sandquist.  I like this dude.  He’s a chiropractor, a nutritional expert, and a self proclaimed multipotentialite.  This is a killer show for you if you’re constantly being drawn in another direction.  I’ve listed tons of resources for you on the the show notes for today’s show at www.drchrisfrykman.com/intentionallywandering.  Intentionally Wandering is the name of Jeff’s show too.  I love Intentionally wandering because Jeff gives us permission to not know.  I don’t know if that’s how Jeff would put it, but for me that’s a significant concept.  Jeff encourages us to be flexibly focused on life journey, not the destination.  He just released an episode on his show in which he interviews me.  You can find that at www.intentionallywandering.com/32.  My intention with this podcast is to help your achieve YOUR Vibrant Potential.  Around minute 45 of this podcast Jeff says that he’s said “no” to more things than he’s said “yes” to in the past year.  It’s in the context of simple living.  I really want to draw your attention to this concept because the more clear I get about what I’m choosing to be up to in this life, the more I can say no to invites, even if they are amazing invites, but if they aren’t congruent with what I’m up to, then it’s a no for right now.  Somewhere along the way, I decided it was important to be open minded.  I still believe that but more and more I find it important to temper that open mindedness with a construct from which to work from for your life.  If you want to create your life, you have to behave in a way that promotes that vision.  In last week’s episode, James Butler says we are the sum of all of our choices.  So true.  Do you know what you’re up to?  If you have an inkling that you have something great to give but you’re not quite sure what it is, I highly recommend having a conversation with James.  He graciously opened up 3 premium coaching sessions to the Vibrant Potential tribe and I genuinely hope you are one of the lucky 3 people that will take him up on that.  I recently did a session with him myself and I am on FIRE now.  I’m constantly redefining who I am and in my session with James I had a huge break through and I’m excited to share that with you soon.  For now, if you want to experience that for yourself, check out last week’s show notes at drchrisfrykman.com/peakobjectives and you can find James’ email.  Just shoot him an email with the subject line, “Vibrant Potential” and let him know you’d like to take him up on his free coaching session if he still has one open.  This episode is a great compliment to last weeks as there are a lot of concepts that overlap.  Today Jeff and I talk about creating yourself too.  So let’s just get to it.  Enjoy the show!  For more information on Drs Chris Frykman and Jeff Sandquist as well as some of the strategies discussed in today's show please visit www.drchrisfrykman.com/intentionallywanderingFor more great health information please visit www.DrChrisFrykman.com               Like us on FaceBook at www.facebook.com/VibrantPotential                    Get the latest updates on twitter at www.twitter.com/DrChrisFrykman See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Today’s guest is James Butler.  I ran into James through a mutual friend and I started looking into what he was about.  I was immediately impressed with his no-bs approach to mindset coaching.  Sometimes mindset coaches can be a little woo-woo for my taste.  James has a knack for boiling down big ideas into smaller manageable morsels.  In fact, that’s one of the topics we hit in today’s episode as we dissect some of his biggest and most powerful ideas he starts new clients out with.  Make sure you listen to his story in the beginning though.  James has been through the ringer and you can tell a lot about a person by where she or he has come from.  Very interesting background.  We talk about reinventing your relationships with some of the most important people in your life, we talk about evaluating the stories you’re telling yourself about your life, your job, your relationships, and trust me, you are telling yourself a story and that story is painting how you look at the world and how you feel during the day.  James has coached many successful people in a wide range of areas from pro athlete teams to successful business owners.  As James and I were talking and I was telling him about you, my wonderful listener, he really got the vision of Vibrant Potential.  He wants to help however he can to help you achieve your Vibrant Potential.  You can see more on the show note page of my website, www.drchrisfrykman.com/peakobjectives but I want to make sure to highlight that he’s opened up just 3 of his premium coaching sessions.  His challenge to you is if you want to conquer the mind, develop what he refers to as an apex personality and completely transform the way you show up in the world, take him up on his offer.  What have you got to lose?  Again, you can find details at www.drchrisfrykman.com/peakobjectives or you can email him directly at james @peakobjectives.com.  To get one of his 3 free spots he’s opened up just for the Vibrant Potential community make sure to put Vibrant Potential in the subject line.  Enjoy the show.  For more information on Dr Chris Frykman and James Butler as well as some of the strategies discussed in today's show please visit www.DrChrisFrykman.com/PeakObjectivesFor more great health information please visit www.DrChrisFrykman.com               Like us on FaceBook at www.facebook.com/VibrantPotential                    Get the latest updates on twitter at www.twitter.com/DrChrisFrykman See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Relationship Medicine Guru Dr Denny Thompson discusses how to get what you need from relationships, emotional intelligence, and the 12 ways of love.  The Landmark Forum calls relationships "your life".  And truly, without the relationships we have with those around us, what would our lives be?  So what could be more worthwhile than delving into how to nurture the relationships with those most important to you - including yourself!   ~ Dr Chris Frykman If you want to find out your Retionship Code, your Spouses, your children's etc, you can reach out to either Dr Thompson or Dr Haneca or myself.  We'd all be happy to help you uncover hidden stressors that may be destroying your health from your relationships or simply help to connect you to your loved ones in a more deep way.    For more information on Dr Chris Frykman and Dr Denny Thompson as well as some of the strategies discussed in today's show please visit www.DrChrisFrykman.com/12WaysOfLoveFor more great health information please visit www.DrChrisFrykman.com               Like us on FaceBook at www.facebook.com/VibrantPotential                    Get the latest updates on twitter at www.twitter.com/DrChrisFrykman See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Seriously one of my favorite shows to date, Shari and I dive into creativity, finding the inner spark, what drives people to do what they do and building the life of your dreams. Shari is a soul explorer, transformational coach and business spark maker.  She helps the Joes and Janes who are done being average ditch their Groundhog Day living and find their unique path and voice to a sparked up soul and lit up life.

In today’s episode, I have a casual conversation with my good friend Joe Christian.  Joe is a personal trainer, a registered nurse, and an avid cyclist.  In today’s show we discuss his work with bringing cycling to Minneapolis youth as well as his company, MelloVelo Bicycle Tours which brings his love of cycling, comraderie and gourmet food together in various european venues.  I also pick his brain for some good tid bits about working fitness into your life if you’re someone that knows you really should be working out, but there always seems to be some reason it just doesn’t fit into your life.  Joe and I enjoy cycling together and at least half of why are the interesting conversations that inevitably stem from our varied backgrounds in health and wellness and fitness both from a conservative medical model as well as a more holistic alternative paradigm.  Today I share one of those conversations with you.  I hope you enjoy this conversation as much as I always do. As always, thanks for listening. Helping You Reach YOUR Vibrant Potential, ~Dr Chris Frykman  For more information on Dr Chris Frykman and Joe as well as links of other resources regarding of some of the strategies discussed in today's show please visit www.DrChrisFrykman.com/MelloVeloFor more great health information please visit www.DrChrisFrykman.com               Like us on FaceBook at www.facebook.com/VibrantPotential                    Get the latest updates on twitter at www.twitter.com/DrChrisFrykman See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Vibrant Potential is more than a podcast though.   It’s a conversation.  It’s a state of optimal living.  In the words of the US army, “Be all that you can be.”  Whether you’re in the armed forces or not, words to live by.  I’ve made it my job to improve the lives of others, specifically in the area of health.  If you don’t have your health, you don’t have anything but when you’re healthy you can live life to it’s fullest, meet your goals, feel joy and life flowing in you and all around you.  To do this, I found out long ago I need some good tools.  Some of those tools are functional medicine, functional neurology, applied kinesiology and many others depending on the situation.   Functional Medicine has gained a lot of popularity in the past few years.  Because of this more people have heard about it and are seeking it out.  If you’re a casual, outside observer, you may think a func med approach means going gluten free and taking some expensive supplements.  Those of you more intimately familiar with functional medicine recognize certain tenets among its practitioners.  Primary among these guiding principles is personalization - meaning as a functional medicine doctor, I’m not going to be focused on diagnosing a problem in you and then treating the problem.  I’m not going to treat you like everyone else that walks in the door.  I’m going to listen to you.  I’m going to treat you, not your disease or disorder.  Speaking of disease, another tenet of functional medicine is taking a proactive approach to health and to life.  Gone are the days you need to wait until something is broken and then hope you can still fix it.  Personalized medicine, functional medicine, heck, just GOOD medicine is about watching for trends.  Whether it’s because I know someone and have been treating them for years or whether its from taking a thorough history, meaning I’ve taken the time to sit down with someone and really unwind their journey up to this point, in functional medicine we want to notice subtle changes before they become life threatening.  An easy example is diabetes.  Diabetes is a disease that kills 10’s to 100’s of thousands of people every year in the US alone.  And that’s going by conservative numbers.  The classic way to diagnosis diabetes is to obtain a fasting blood sugar and if it’s 125 you don’t have diabetes - go home, you’re fine -  and if its 126 you do have it and  we better get you on some meds to manage this sucker.  That’s just bad medicine.  A good functional medicine doc is going to look at trends, if your blood sugar is 85, that’s probably fine but if your blood sugar has been 72 for the past 5 years and now it’s 85, we want to look at why.  Always why.  Let’s get to the root cause of what’s going on here people.  We need to stop treating the symptoms and start looking upstream to what the causes of disease are in the first place.  Be those reasons physiologic, spiritual, mental, or emotional, chemical or bioelectric, there’s a reason your fasting blood sugars are rising.  And if the reason is you’re depressed because your mom just passed away and you’ve replaced your daily run with a tub of ice cream, it’s a poor answer to simply through some glucophage at the situation.  Do you see it? We don’t have to wait to be broken.  We can seek more now.  I’m not here to tell you what you should want out of life.  I’m here when you want, MORE, out of life.  Want More strength, speed or flexibility?  check Looking for improved mental clarity, better memory, or more focus and drive?  check Do you desire Better relationships through emotional wellness and cultivating an inner peace?  check  This is the spirit in which I’ve developed Habitat Retreats with my partner, Dr Shamanie.  In an up coming episode, I’m going to ask Dr Shamanie to share her story with you.  It’s one of cancer and pain but it’s also a story of healing and happiness.  If you want more on how habitat retreats came to be, or how to attend one you can visit today’s show notes page at drchrisfrykman.com/drcarrick or www.habitatretreats.com.  For now though, Long story short, Shamanie had a revelation along her own healing journey that health only happens in the right environment.  A plant can’t grow without light or water.  A human also needs certain conditions to be just right for optimal growth and expansion.  These Habitat Retreats have become my preferred method for providing care for people looking for improved health and improved function because there’s simply no other way to incite the kinds of changes we see in a week’s time at these retreats.  Sometime soon I’ll share some of what we do at these retreats but suffice it to say, I’ve seen patients make more dramatic brain wave shifts in one week than some people see in a lifetime.  Brain Wave Shifts equal transformation.  For me, at the heart of functional medicine, is transformation.  Everything I do in this podcast, at the clinic, and at Habitat Retreats is about transformation.  I want to see function improve.  But how do we know you’re functioning better?  If you’re a runner, that might mean running an 18 minute 5k instead of a 20 minute 5k.  Or it might mean running a 12 minute 50 second 5k instead of a 13.  Maybe you’re pushing your VOMax up or your anaerobic threshold up.  Or it might mean running a 28 minute 5k and being earnestly happy about that because you’re not out there to compete against others and win, for you winning is about not dying of a heart attack at 52 like your Dad did.  So that’s all fine and dandy, if you’re a runner.  Those metrics might make some sense and give you some feedback about if you’re going in the right direction.  Have you ever met someone that looked fit on the outside one day and the next day died of a heart attack?   There are better ways to measure growth and human performance.  And there are better ways to initiate the types of changes you are seeking.  Enter Dr Carrick and Functional Neurology.  Prof Frederick (Ted) Carrick has maintained an international specialty practice for 37 years.  He has taught clinical neurology around the world to physicians from all disciplines, including myself and is considered the father of functional neurology.  He has been the subject of the Emmy award-winning PBS documentary Waking up the Brain as well as countless prime time television, newspaper, magazine and journal articles.  Dr Carrick holds professorships in neurology at several institutions.  He holds four board certifications in neurology and nine fellowship credentials.  Prof. Carrick is a published researcher in the field of neurology and completed his Post Doctoral training at Harvard Medical School.  He is the principal investigator in several ongoing investigations designed to improve the diagnosis and treatment of traumatic brain injury.  He has special interests in movement disorders, traumatic brain injury and sports concussions and has even treated patients with coma which we touch on in the interview.   Prof Carrick is presently a Senior Research Fellow of Bedfordshire Centre for Mental Health Research in association with the University of Cambridge (BCMHR-CU) in the UK.  Don’t ask me how he keeps up with all this.  He has has assembled the world's largest database of Dynamic Computerized Posturographic outcomes related to traumatic brain injury, neurodegenerative disease and movement disorders assembled from thousands of patients from around the globe.  His published scientific articles have appeared in the prestigious journals of Gait and Posture, Disability and Rehabilitation, Frontiers Public Health, Biomedical Science Instrumentation, Journal of Biomechanics, Current Pharmaceutical Design, Brain Injury, Neurorehabilitation, Clinical Neurophysiology, International Journal of Adolescent Medicine and Health, Journal of Alternative Medicine, Journal of Manipulative and Physiological Therapeutics, Parkinsonism & Related Disorders, Mediterranean Journal of Physical and Rehabilitation Medicine, International Journal on Disability and Human Development and others.   In Today’s podcast I expose just the surface of what’s possible when we really look at the human brain, in all it’s majesty, as Professor Carrick would say, through the lens of functional neurology.  We cover topics from TBI (traumatic brain injury) to the importance of eye movements.  If the study of the neurology of eye movements sounds boring to you, I hope this brief conversation brings the topic to life for you because as you start to see what can be done, you realize, anything is possible.  Enjoy.   For more information on Dr Chris Frykman and Professor Carrick as well as some of the strategies discuss in
