In this mind-expanding episode, Darin sits down with Dani Fontaine — researcher, practitioner, and expert on the human body's forgotten communication system: the endocannabinoid system. They unravel how this network regulates everything from mood and sleep to pain and consciousness — and why it was deliberately scrubbed from mainstream medical education. Dani reveals how cannabinoids, light, sound, and nature all communicate with our body's receptor fields — shaping the way we feel, heal, and perceive the world. Together they explore the profound spiritual and scientific implications of this hidden system, and how it connects us back to balance, nature, and truth.

Broadcast from KSQD, Santa Cruz on 10-23-2025: Dr. Dawn opens with a passionate plea about E-bike safety after observing riders ignoring stop signs and wearing inadequate helmets in Santa Cruz. She explains the physics of collisions, noting that force equals mass times acceleration, and a car hitting an E-bike rider at 20 mph delivers impact equivalent to falling from a two-story building. She emphasizes that 97% of bike fatalities in New York involved helmetless riders, and brain injuries result from the brain striking the skull twice during impact - once on the impact side and again on the opposite side during deceleration. She urges drivers to honk at helmetless riders and calls for stricter helmet law enforcement. An emailer asks about hydroxyapatite in toothpaste. Dr. Dawn traces its origins to NASA research in the 1960s by Dr. Bernard Rubin studying crystal growth for preventing bone and tooth mineral loss in astronauts. Japanese company Sangi acquired the patent and created the first hydroxyapatite toothpaste by 1980, receiving official anti-cavity recognition in 1993. Studies show it matches fluoride's cavity prevention effectiveness by filling microscopic cracks where bacteria take root. It also relieves temperature sensitivity by sealing micro-fractures in enamel that expose the dentin layer, making it especially helpful for people who clench their jaws. Researchers from UC Berkeley and the Allen Institute used electrodes and lasers to study how mouse brains process optical illusions like the Kanizsa triangle. They discovered specialized IC encoder neurons in the visual cortex that fill in missing information, creating complete shapes from partial cues. When these pattern-completing circuits activate inappropriately, they may trigger hallucinations in conditions like schizophrenia. Dr. Dawn explains that illusions occur when the brain perceives something different from actual visual input, while hallucinations create perceptions with no external stimulus. She discusses frontotemporal dementia where visual hallucinations result from protein deposits in the occipital cortex, and notes that a 2021 British Journal of Psychiatry study found hallucination rates varying from 7% in young people to 3% in those over 70. An emailer describes unbearable chronic lumbar pain with degenerative disc disease shown on MRI. Dr. Dawn emphasizes that MRI findings don't necessarily correlate with pain levels, citing shopping mall studies showing equal degenerative changes in people with and without back pain. She stresses checking for sciatica symptoms including leg pain below the knee, sensory differences between sides, calf size asymmetry, and ability to walk on tiptoes and heels. Without these red flags, the degenerative disease likely isn't causing the pain. She warns against unnecessary surgery citing frequent "failed back" syndrome when surgery for a disk image doesn't "fix" the pain. She recommends water jogging with a ski vest, McKenzie exercises, abdominal strengthening, ergonomics, removing wallets from back pockets, and alternating heat and ice therapy. She discusses mindfulness meditation and cognitive behavioral therapy for pain management. A caller references Daniel Levitin's book "Your Brain on Music," discussing research using functional MRIs showing distinct brain activation patterns in musicians versus non-musicians due to integrated auditory, visual, and kinesthetic training. Dr. Dawn describes how infant brains develop from three to six layers with increasingly complex synaptic connections resembling circuit boards. She highlights a blindfold study where college students' visual cortices began responding to sound within two weeks as the auditory cortex expanded. She shares her husband's remarkable recovery demonstrating adult brain plasticity through intensive rehabilitation. Learning new musical instruments helps dementia patients by activating multiple brain regions simultaneously and improving standard cognitive test performance. A caller describes an eight-day chest cold with thick white phlegm. Dr. Dawn recommends guaifenesin as a mucus-thinning expectorant to prevent bacterial growth in respiratory secretions that serve as "bacteria chow." She emphasizes the importance of current flu, COVID, and RSV vaccinations. Secondary bacterial infections develop when bacteria colonize viral-induced mucus in the lungs and invade tissues. She advises aggressive hydration and chicken soup, which research shows helps clear mucus. Another caller provides additional information about Daniel Levitin as a musicologist, neurologist, and musician who runs the Music Perception, Cognition and Expertise laboratory at McGill University.

Why You Should Listen: In this episode, you will learn about the latest approaches to healing your body from mold toxicity, Lyme disease, and other complex, chronic health conditions. About My Guest: My guest for this episode is Dr. Neil Nathan. Neil Nathan, MD has been practicing medicine for over 50 years and has been Board Certified in Family Practice and Pain Management and is a Founding Diplomate of the American Board of Integrative Holistic Medicine and a Founding Diplomate of ISEAI. He has written several books, including "Healing is Possible: New Hope for Chronic Fatigue, Fibromyalgia, Persistent Pain, and Other Chronic Illnesses" and "On Hope and Healing: For Those Who Have Fallen Through the Medical Cracks." He has been working to bring an awareness that mold toxicity is a major contributing factor for patients with chronic illness and lectures internationally on this subject which led to the publication of his eBook, "Mold and Mycotoxins: Current Evaluation and Treatment, 2016" (now updated to 2022), and then to his best-selling book "Toxic: Heal Your Body from Mold Toxicity, Lyme Disease, Multiple Chemical Sensitivities and Chronic Environmental Illness." 2021 saw the publication of "Energetic Diagnosis," a discussion of the value of intuition and energetic devices as an aid to both diagnosis and treatment of medical illness. In 2024, his book "The Sensitive Patient's Healing Guide" was released with a focus on how to approach the treatment of sensitive patients. And most recently, in late 2025, the second edition of his book "Toxic" was released with several years of new information and insights on healing from complex chronic conditions. Dr. Nathan has been treating chronic complex medical illnesses for 30 years now, and Lyme disease for the past 20 years. As his practice has evolved, he finds himself increasingly treating the patients who have become so sensitive and toxic that they can no longer tolerate their usual treatments, and his major current interest is in finding unique ways of helping them to recover.

In this episode of The Healers Café, Manon Bolliger, FCAH, RBHT (facilitator and retired naturopath with 30+ years of practice) speaks to Mike who emphasized the importance of accurate pain assessment and the potential impact of psychological factors like placebo effect. Tony's injury from swimming surprisingly reduced his chronic pain, suggesting a link between acute and chronic pain management. Mike suggested alternative pain-inducing activities to potentially aid healing. For the transcript and full story go to: https://www.drmanonbolliger.com/mike-sententia2 Highlights from today's episode include: Mike and the importance of honest feedback from clients—encouraging them to report truthfully even when a technique doesn't work, as this helps practitioners refine and improve their healing methods. Mike explains the shift from using the term “suppress” to “neutralize” or “cancel out” energy signatures, to better describe his pain reduction technique and avoid negative connotations. Manon explains the need for thorough, transparent assessment and follow-up of pain intensity and frequency, so practitioners and clients have accurate benchmarks to measure healing progress. ABOUT MIKE SENTENTIA: I'm Mike. After studying and practicing energy healing 20+ years, I've developed a unique system of energy healing, specifically designed for chronic pain conditions.

Bursitis is one of those conditions that's often brushed aside with a cortisone shot and a pat on the back. But is that really healing—or just a quick way to silence symptoms? In this episode of The Pilates Lounge Podcast, Katie Crane takes a bold look at how the Pilates community can do better for clients by addressing the real root causes of bursitis: poor mechanics, lack of movement variability, and ignoring the body's natural signals. Katie challenges the over-reliance on cortisone injections, unpacks the critical difference between natural and synthetic cortisol, and makes the case for fascia hydration, movement diversity, and listening to pain as valuable feedback. Beyond the physical, she digs into why community and emotional support are just as essential in the healing process. This conversation is part education, part reality check—inviting Pilates professionals to step away from band-aid solutions and lean into the body's wisdom, resilience, and true capacity for recovery. Key Takeaways Healing doesn't come from quick fixes—it comes from addressing root causes. Cortisone injections may shut you up, but they don't set you free. Bursitis is less about “bad luck” and more about mechanics and movement. Pilates offers a powerful path to restore function and resilience. Pain is not the enemy—it's feedback the body needs us to hear. Fascia health depends on hydration and varied movement. Community and emotional support are non-negotiable in recovery. Educated decisions—not shortcuts—lead to lasting change. Special Offers Just for You! FREE Gift Workshop: Start deepening your practice today!
Project Sync / Status Update Summary Podcast Episode Overview The host discussed Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS) as a recurring pain board topic and reviewed mechanisms, efficacy, and clinical considerations. Emphasis that TENS appears on pain boards annually and is a foundational topic from early podcast episodes. Board Prep and NRAP Community at PainExam.com or NRAPpain.org ABA ABPM ABIPP FIPP Pain Management Board prep, Question Banks, and Virtual Pain Fellowship Educational Offerings and Events Training and Courses: Monthly ultrasound courses in New York and upcoming courses in Detroit covering ultrasound-guided regional anesthesia and chronic pain. Ultrasound Guided Acute and Chronic Pain course in November near Hollywood/Fort Lauderdale with venue pending confirmation. Multiple instructors to offer diverse perspectives; registration via the CME calendar at nrappain.org. Conferences and Teaching: New York–New Jersey Pain Conference in November (hosted by Soudir Duwan). ISPN conference in London next week, with ultrasound teaching participation by the host. Community and Coaching: Private coaching and shadowing opportunities available; contact via newsletter replies. Access to the NRAP community forum upon signup at nrappain.org for discussions on neuromodulation, regional anesthesia, and pain. TENS: Mechanisms and Parameters Device and Parameters: TENS delivers adjustable pulse frequency and intensity; configurations include low (50–100+ Hz), and mixed frequencies. Mechanisms of Analgesia: Activation of large-diameter, non-noxious A-beta afferent fibers in the periphery, driving descending inhibitory pathways and reducing hyperalgesia. Board-relevant point: selective activation of A-beta fibers is frequently tested. Central effects: Reduces central excitability and nociceptive dorsal horn neuron activity in uninjured and injured models. Frequency-dependent opioid receptor mediation: High-frequency analgesia blocked by delta receptor antagonists. Low-frequency analgesia blocked by mu receptor antagonists (spinal cord and rostral ventral medulla). Additional receptor involvement: muscarinic M1/M3, GABA-A, and cannabinoid (CB1) receptors; blockade reduces or prevents TENS analgesia depending on frequency. Peripheral effects: High-frequency TENS reduces injury-related increases in substance P in DRG neurons. Blockade of peripheral opioid and CB1 receptors can prevent analgesia from both low- and high-frequency TENS. Clinical dosing considerations: Adequate dosing (timing, frequency of use, intensity achieving strong but non-painful paresthesia) influences efficacy. Analgesia has rapid onset/offset and may require repeated administration throughout the day for sustained relief. Evidence and Efficacy Summary Systematic Review Findings: Cochrane umbrella review of 9 systematic reviews (51 trials; n=2,895) comparing active TENS with sham/usual care found uncertain efficacy due to: Very low-quality evidence (risk of bias, small samples, methodological limitations). Inconsistent adverse event reporting. Heterogeneity in TENS parameters and comparators. Authors note uncertainty may be confounded by inadequate dosing not being an inclusion metric. Practical Interpretation: TENS is inexpensive, low-risk, self-administered, and titratable; commonly used by patients and physical therapists. Clinical experience suggests potential adjunctive benefit for acute pain, but systematic reviews are conflicting; more rigorous studies are needed. For board preparation, the critical takeaway is A-beta fiber activation. Key Takeaways for Board Prep TENS targets large-diameter non-noxious A-beta afferents to reduce nociceptive signaling. High-frequency TENS: analgesia mediated via delta opioid receptors; blocked by delta antagonists. Low-frequency TENS: analgesia mediated via mu opioid receptors; blocked by mu antagonists in spinal cord and RVM. Additional receptor systems influencing TENS efficacy include muscarinic (M1/M3), GABA-A, and CB1. Action Items Review TENS mechanisms with emphasis on A-beta fiber activation for board prep. Verify and publish final venue details for the November Florida ultrasound course. Share registration links and schedules for Detroit and New York ultrasound and chronic pain courses via CME calendar. Prepare teaching materials for ISPN London ultrasound sessions next week. Update board prep resources on painexam.com and nrappain.org with current TENS evidence and dosing guidance.

TENS: Mechanisms and Parameters Device and Parameters: TENS delivers adjustable pulse frequency and intensity; configurations include low (50–100+ Hz), and mixed frequencies. Mechanisms of Analgesia: Activation of large-diameter, non-noxious A-beta afferent fibers in the periphery, driving descending inhibitory pathways and reducing hyperalgesia. Board-relevant point: selective activation of A-beta fibers is frequently tested. Central effects: Reduces central excitability and nociceptive dorsal horn neuron activity in uninjured and injured models. Frequency-dependent opioid receptor mediation: High-frequency analgesia blocked by delta receptor antagonists. Low-frequency analgesia blocked by mu receptor antagonists (spinal cord and rostral ventral medulla). Additional receptor involvement: muscarinic M1/M3, GABA-A, and cannabinoid (CB1) receptors; blockade reduces or prevents TENS analgesia depending on frequency. Peripheral effects: High-frequency TENS reduces injury-related increases in substance P in DRG neurons. Blockade of peripheral opioid and CB1 receptors can prevent analgesia from both low- and high-frequency TENS. Clinical dosing considerations: Adequate dosing (timing, frequency of use, intensity achieving strong but non-painful paresthesia) influences efficacy. Analgesia has rapid onset/offset and may require repeated administration throughout the day for sustained relief. Evidence and Efficacy Summary Clinical experience suggests potential adjunctive benefit for acute pain, but systematic reviews are conflicting; more rigorous studies are needed. For board preparation, the critical takeaway is A-beta fiber activation. Key Takeaways for Board Prep TENS targets large-diameter non-noxious A-beta afferents to reduce nociceptive signaling. High-frequency TENS: analgesia mediated via delta opioid receptors; blocked by delta antagonists. Low-frequency TENS: analgesia mediated via mu opioid receptors; blocked by mu antagonists in spinal cord and RVM.

In this episode of The Healers Café, Manon Bolliger, FCAH, RBHT (facilitator and retired naturopath with 30+ years of practice) speaks Xavier Roman shared his journey of discovering his healing abilities at age five, when he healed a crying mother and child by channeling a white light. He recounted his near-death experience during appendicitis surgery, where he observed the operation and brought himself back to life. For the transcript and full story go to: https://www.drmanonbolliger.com/xavier-roman Highlights from today's episode include: Xavier discovered his healing abilities as a child and continued to develop them, often helping others without revealing his gift. Xavier explains a near-death experience profoundly shaped his understanding of healing, and he now demonstrates his energy healing process to help others, as shown during the podcast. Manon reflects on the healing process, emphasizing the importance of the healer-client relationship and the integration of energetic and traditional therapies for holistic health. ABOUT XAVIER ROMAN: My name is Xavier, and I can heal people facing any physical, emotional, or mental health concerns with in-person and distance healing. My healing abilities emerged at age five and heightened when my mom was in a near-death car accident. That experience allowed me to use my healing capabilities to support her healing journey. My gift of channeling energy to heal became stronger after I experienced an NDE & Near-Death Experience; during emergency surgery in July 2010. I flat lined, witnessed my surgery, and heard the surgeon and assistants as they scattered to bring me back to life. Since then, my body and mind healing techniques have continued to strengthen and emerge. I've met with and continue to help people on a national basis. People with chronic pain, undiagnosed and diagnosed health issues, mental health issues, and more. I've also supported individuals who were told they would pass away due to various medical conditions and restored them back to stable health conditions. Although I've never announced my healing abilities at great lengths to others, I've been guided to do so now. I truly feel called to connect with those needing healing more than ever. People may think you need to be a saint or a mystical figure to perform healing. However, I have been presented with this gift and have received thousands of testimonials from my clients on transformations that have occurred through and after healing sessions with me. I welcome the billions of people on this planet to have hope and welcome the power of energy healing into their lives. Core purpose/passion: I'm passionate about changing people's lives Website | Facebook | Instagram | X ABOUT MANON BOLLIGER, FCAH, RBHT As a de-registered (2021) board-certified naturopathic physician & in practice since 1992, I've seen an average of 150 patients per week and have helped people ranging from rural farmers in Nova Scotia to stressed out CEOs in Toronto to tri-athletes here in Vancouver. My resolve to educate, empower and engage people to take charge of their own health is evident in my best-selling books: 'What Patients Don't Say if Doctors Don't Ask: The Mindful Patient-Doctor Relationship' and 'A Healer in Every Household: Simple Solutions for Stress'.

(0:35:33) ABOUT DR JEFF KD Meyers: Jeff “KD” Meyers, M.D., L.Ac. is a physician, acupuncturist, guide, and storyteller whose work bridges Western medicine, holistic healing, and expanded states of consciousness. A graduate of the University of Pennsylvania and the University of Colorado School of Medicine, he completed residency training in Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation at Penn and has practiced integrative medicine for over 30 years. Dr. Meyers specializes in peak performance, neuro-plasticity, and self-actualization and fulfillment, leading seminars and retreats focused on innovative, integrative approaches. He teaches internationally on topics including rehabilitation, resilience, yoga and Ayurveda, acupuncture, somatic practices, psychedelics, archetypes, and the transformative power of music. His journey as a healer has been influenced deeply by the wisdom of spiritual traditions including the Abrahamic lineage--Sufism, Judaism, and Christianity, as well as Buddhism, yogic and syncretic traditions. A profound awakening in 2003 opened him to non-dual awareness and years of exploration with indigenous and church-based plant medicine traditions in South America. These experiences catalyzed archetypal and prophetic insights and connection to lineages including the Divine Mother and the Holy Grail. Dr. Meyers holds certificates in Psychedelic Therapies and Research from CIIS, Family Constellations, ketamine-assisted psychotherapy, and biodynamic osteopathy. He is a certified firewalking instructor, and has co-directed Dharma Mittra's Life of a Yogi Teacher Training and teaches in Jeff Carreira's Mystery School. Blending science, spirituality, and art, Dr. Meyers is excited to guide individuals and groups toward healing, self-realization, and expanded human potential. His new book with collage artist Jody Smith--Secrets from the Heart of Yoga: New Yoga Sutras--will be out this fall. Core purpose/passion: My core purpose is to receive and share the Joy that is at the Heart of the Creation and healing, and is expressed through all of the Creation-- especially accessible through music and art, and to use this as a modality for solace and healing.

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I'm looking forward to sharing with you some of our community's questions that have come in over the past few weeks… Suzanne: Thank you for your time in advance. In late 2021, my husband was diagnosed with Stage IV prostate cancer. He underwent six rounds of chemo along with Eligard injections. After his last scans, whole body and bone, we were told the cancer is "stabilized". He is currently on 300 mg of Nubeqa 2x a day (down from 4 x because I asked about it) and Lupron injections every 3 months. We have consciously changed our diet (no added sugar, no alcohol, no processed foods) and he is doing pretty well, although, he does fatigue and sweat easily. My question is whether you believe that taking a couple of your home tests would be beneficial for him? I worry about these powerful drugs he is being given and have noticed a reluctance from the doctor about reducing his drugs any further. Thank you again! Sheena: Hi Dr C! Hope you and your team are well. I recently went for blood work. I fasted for 14 hours and was wondering what your thoughts are specifically regarding my Lipid Panel and Iron Panel. My triglycerides is 1.83, Total 4.05, HDL 1.72 and LDL 1.63 (all mmol/L). For iron my levels are 37 umol/L, iron binding 0.70 umol/L, and ferritin 44 ugL. My Dr says she's concerned with my triglycerides. How can I lower it? And shes concerned with my ferritin and iron levels so shes sending me for a Hemochromatosis blood test to see why the levels are off. (My fasting glucose is 4.9, hbA1c is 5.2, TSH is 1.04 and Auto CBC is 3.8). Would love your thoughts and any food and supplementation recommendations would be appreciated! Love you and all the best to everyone on their health journey! Madhia: Hello My Dr is giving me a hard time to prescribe MRI for my breast exam. Do you have any Dr you can recommend that would help me in greater Los Angeles area? Margie: My son, who is 46 years old has had Alpha-Gal for approximately 10 years. Now his wife has also been diagnosed with it. I am aware it is caused by a tick bite. He constantly has mass cell inflammation including breathing and allergy issues. Could you please explain specifically how this disease affects the body's immune system and which of your protocols should be used to bring the body back into balance. Will that particular protocol bring the body back into balance enough so that it will relieve the mass cell inflammation and they can return to eating mammal meat? Jackie: Hi Dr. Cabral thank you for all that you do. You have made a tremendous impact in my and my clients lives. My husband has just finally been diagnosed after 10 years of misdiagnosis with neurogenic TOS. We have a great rehab team working on the biomechanics and we are exploring Big 5 root causes. I was wondering what natural pain management methods you would recommend during the process pain is 10/10 and conventional medicines wants to basically kill the nerve or put him on Lyrica which neither are an option for us. We are exploring accupuncture, grounding and adrenal sooth/inflammasoothe/cbd protocol. Any other alternative inflammation reduction techniques or devices you would recommend? Could you do a podcast on natural pain management strategies for people with chronic pain?
