Dr. Jennifer Roelands, MD is a double-boarded OB/GYN and Integrative Medicine physician with Functional Medicine training and a longevity focus. She specializes in perimenopause/menopause, hormone optimization (incl. men’s TRT), and personalized protocols, including medically supervised, compounded micro-dosed GLP-1s.

Dr. Roelands joins Heather Gray to demystify GLP-1 medications through a functional, patient-centered lens. They unpack what “microdosing” means with compounded formulations, how dose-flexibility can reduce common side effects, and why lifestyle foundations, resistance training, adequate protein, sleep, and metabolic hygiene, are non-negotiable for sustainable results. The conversation also explores off-label clinical observations around inflammation and “food noise,” considerations for women in peri/menopause, safety guardrails (who should not use GLP-1s), and how to vet a reputable compounding pharmacy. If you’ve wondered whether GLP-1s can fit into a long-term wellness plan without sacrificing muscle or metabolic health, this episode brings nuance, practicality, and hope.

• GLP-1 basics, clearly explained: Brand names vs. molecules (semaglutide, tirzepatide) and why newer “multi-agonists” are getting attention.
• Why microdosing matters: Compounded, personalized doses can ease nausea/constipation and match different metabolic profiles (e.g., 20–30 lb vs. 100+ lb goals).
• Lifestyle is the lever: Without protein, progressive strength training, and daily habits, weight typically rebounds when medication stops.
• Muscle preservation: In medically supervised programs that emphasize protein + lifting, losing muscle isn’t inevitable.
• Inflammation & “food noise”: Clinicians observe benefits beyond weight—less neuroinflammation and reduced intrusive food thoughts for some patients.
• Who should not use GLP-1s: History of medullary thyroid carcinoma, prior adverse reactions, or inappropriate use at very low body weights.
• Long-term unknowns: Decades of use exist, but research on very long-term effects is still evolving; indications are expanding (e.g., obesity, diabetes; others emerging).
• How to vet a compounder: Ask about third-party testing, sterility, adverse-event tracking, and quality control; local pharmacies can offer transparency and speed.

Electrodermal Screening, Brain Mapping & the Bioenergetic Approach with Anna Powers

Heather Gray (FDN-P) sits down with Anna Powers, a practitioner with three decades in the bioenergetic space, to unpack how electrodermal screening (EDS), brain mapping (qEEG), and neurofeedback can help practitioners and clients see patterns behind stress, sleep, attention, and overall resilience. Anna shares her own health journey, how early ACE (Adverse Childhood Experiences) can shape lifelong physiology, and why listening to a client’s story matters as much as any device reading. You’ll hear how EDS compares with tools like ZYTO and why some clinics pair energetic assessments with conventional labs for a more complete picture.

What You’ll Learn

• Electrodermal Screening 101:
  What EDS is, how microcurrent readings at acupuncture points may reflect energetic stress in organ systems, and common categories practitioners explore (e.g., metals, molds, viruses).
  
• Brain Mapping vs. SPECT:
  How qEEG brain maps (brain waves) differ from SPECT (blood flow) and why some teams view them as complementary perspectives.
  
• From Story to Strategy:
  How life events, especially ACE scores, chronic stress, or major transitions, can correlate with immune and adrenal patterns, and why compassionate listening guides better protocols.
  
• Energetic Findings & Labs:
  Ways practitioners use energetic assessments alongside conventional testing to refine next steps and focus resources.
  
• Remote Assessments (Discussed Conceptually):
  How some clinics handle distance clients (e.g., mailed samples) and why follow-up rhythm matters in long-term support.
  
• Case Insights & Practical Pearls:
  Patterns Anna often sees around adrenals, gluten sensitivity (as part of her personal journey), and detox support strategies discussed in a non-prescriptive, educational way.

Emergency physician Dr. Jennifer Ellice (MD) joins Heather Gray to demystify ketamine therapy, from its 50-year medical history to how it can rapidly shift mood disorders through neuroplasticity. Drawing on years in a busy ER and now co-founding a ketamine clinic in Los Angeles, Dr. Ellice explains why ketamine is considered safe in clinical settings, how it differs from other psychedelics, what the Yale Protocol looks like in practice, and who is (and isn’t) a good candidate. You’ll hear clear, non-hype explanations of BDNF, astrocytes, the default mode network, and why some patients describe a single session as “years of therapy.”

Key Learnings & Takeaways (Short)

• What it is & safety: Ketamine is a 50+-year, hospital-used anesthetic with rapid on/off effects, safe when clinically monitored.

• Why it helps: For treatment-resistant depression, structured courses show ~60–80% meaningful remission, often faster than SSRIs/talk therapy.

• How it works (simple): Boosts neuroplasticity and BDNF; early research points to astrocyte and DMN effects that can open access to new insights.

• Protocols & formats: IV (most reliable brain exposure), intranasal (Spravato®), oral. Typical induction: 6-10 infusions over 2-4 weeks; many notice changes by infusions 3-4.

• Who it’s for / not for: Can help TRD, anxiety, PTSD, some chronic pain; avoid with psychosis, active mania, or poorly controlled cardiac/hypertension, medical screening required.

• Side effects: Usually transient nausea/dizziness; “K-hole” is rare with proper dosing and supervision.

• Expectations: It won’t change personality or help everyone; pairing with therapy/integration often makes gains more durable.

Resources

• Golden Afternoon Clinic (Los Angeles) — Dr. Jennifer Ellice’s clinic for clinician-guided ketamine therapy.

Gut Health, Bloating, and the Hidden Triggers Behind Digestive Issues with Conny Wade

In this episode of Bioenergetics Beat, Heather Gray welcomes functional diagnostic nutrition practitioner and fellow FDN, Conny (Cornelia) Wade, to dive deep into one of the most taboo yet essential wellness topics: gut health, bloating, and digestion.

Conny shares her personal journey from over two decades as a night-shift nurse in conventional healthcare to becoming a functional practitioner after her own health challenges with reflux, bloating, joint pain, and psoriasis. Through functional lab testing, dietary changes, and lifestyle shifts, she uncovered the root causes of her symptoms and regained 95% of her health.

This conversation shines a light on the connection between circadian rhythm, stomach acid, gut microbiome balance, gluten sensitivity, hormones and digestion, and how small changes in eating habits and lifestyle can lead to profound healing.

Key Topics Covered

• From nursing to functional health: Conny’s pain-to-purpose story and what led her to functional lab testing.

• Night shift challenges: How disrupted circadian rhythms wreak havoc on digestion, hormones, and overall wellness.

• The gut microbiome connection: Hidden culprits like H. pylori and Pseudomonas that drive bloating, reflux, and leaky gut.

• Gluten and inflammation: How cutting out gluten relieved joint pain and improved digestion in just weeks.

• Mindful eating: Why eating in “rest and digest” mode matters more than you think for nutrient absorption and bloating relief.

• Stomach acid myths: Why heartburn is often caused by too little stomach acid, not too much, and why PPIs may do more harm than good.

• Hormones and digestion: How cortisol, estrogen, thyroid, and gut bacteria all influence bloating and PMS symptoms.

• Lifestyle foundations: The role of sleep, stress management, whole foods, and movement in restoring gut health.

Resources and Free Guide

Conny offers a free guide on fixing bloating plus a free discovery call to support individuals on their gut healing journey. Learn more at:

She also hosts webinars on food sensitivities, with replays available for those who miss the live sessions.

Fertility coach and PhD candidate in Natural Medicine, Elizabeth King, joins Heather to explore the mind–body side of conception; how stress physiology, subconscious beliefs, unresolved grief, and personalized lifestyle choices shape fertility outcomes. Elizabeth shares her own path through fibroids, surgery, loss, and three natural pregnancies after 41. She explains practical ways to rebalance the nervous system, reduce inflammation, and align your mindset with your goals.

Key Insights

• Stress and safety: Chronic stress signals to the body it’s not safe to conceive. Nervous system regulation is essential.
  
• Subconscious blocks: Tools like PSYCH-K® help uncover hidden fears about motherhood, career, or relationships.
  
• Loss and grief: Miscarriage and hysterectomy need emotional support; unprocessed grief impacts both fertility and future pregnancies.
  
• Personalized care: Structural checks, labs, and food sensitivity testing reveal what your body truly needs.
  
• Flexible plans: Roadmaps reduce anxiety and prevent “peeing on a stick” panic each month.
  

Takeaways

• Balance science with emotional and spiritual healing.
• Reduce inflammation for better egg quality.
• Heal grief to create a safe foundation for conception.
• Stop following one-size-fits-all fertility diets and listen to your body.
