Episode 120:

In this episode of Bioenergetic Beats, host Heather Gray, sits down with renowned integrative physician Dr. Vincent Pedre to explore the hidden toxins quietly sabotaging gut health, brain function, and overall vitality.

Dr. Pedre shares his personal journey into functional medicine, from overcoming a fear of needles through breathwork and meditation to becoming a leading authority on gut-brain health. Together, they unpack how environmental toxins, mold exposure, food sensitivities, and mitochondrial dysfunction can drive chronic symptoms like brain fog, fatigue, inflammation, and digestive distress, often misattributed to aging or hormones.

Key Topics Covered:

The Gut–Brain Connection

Dr. Pedre explains how compromised gut health can drive brain fog, fatigue, mood changes, and cognitive decline through inflammation and nervous system disruption.

Hidden Toxins Impacting Health

The episode explores overlooked toxins, including glyphosate, mold, mycotoxins, contaminated foods, and environmental exposures, that quietly impair gut, brain, and mitochondrial function over time.

Mold, Gluten, and Inflammation

Mold exposure and gluten sensitivity are discussed as common triggers of gut disruption, immune activation, and neurological symptoms, often without obvious warning signs.

Mitochondrial Dysfunction and Aging

Toxins damage mitochondria, reducing energy and mental clarity. Dr. Pedre shares how targeted gut and mitochondrial support can reverse long-standing symptoms.

Functional Testing for Root-Cause Healing

The conversation highlights advanced functional labs, including stool testing, toxin screening, mitochondrial assessments, and hormone testing, to support personalized, root-cause care.

About Dr. Vincent Pedre

Dr. Vincent Pedre, MD, is a board-certified internist and functional medicine physician specializing in gut health, toxin exposure, and root-cause healing. He is the bestselling author of Happy Gut and the founder of Happy Gut Coffee, a rigorously tested coffee designed to be free of mold, mycotoxins, and pesticides.

Burnout Recovery, Nervous System Healing & Women’s Health with Ashleigh Grave

Burnout is more than feeling tired; it’s a full-body shutdown that affects the nervous system, hormones, digestion, immunity, and emotional resilience. In this powerful episode of Bioenergetics Beat, host Heather Gray sits down with Ashleigh Grave, certified nutritional practitioner, holistic nutritionist, author, and former corporate banker, to unpack what burnout really looks like and how to begin healing. She now helps others understand the root causes of chronic stress and how to rebuild nervous system health.

Ashleigh shares her deeply personal journey from high-stress corporate banking to holistic nutrition after experiencing severe burnout that left her with chronic infections, nervous system collapse, thyroid dysfunction, and even loss of sensation in her leg. Her story highlights how burnout often develops slowly over the years and why so many people miss the early warning signs.

In This Episode, You’ll Learn:

The early signs of burnout that most people ignore, including loss of joy and chronic fatigue

How burnout impacts the nervous system, adrenals, thyroid, digestion, and immunity

Why women are especially vulnerable to burnout in hustle culture

The connection between people-pleasing, lack of boundaries, and nervous system overload

How digestive issues, dread of Mondays, and constant exhaustion may be burnout symptoms

Why rest without guilt is essential for healing

Simple, accessible tools to begin burnout recovery without overwhelm

Burnout, Women & the Nervous System

Heather and Ashleigh dive into how modern work culture conflicts with women’s natural biological rhythms. Ignoring cyclical needs, pushing through exhaustion, and prioritizing productivity over restoration can eventually lead to autoimmune issues, hormonal imbalances, and nervous system dysregulation. They also explore the loss of community support in modern society and how isolation contributes to burnout, especially for caregivers and high-achieving women.

Practical Burnout Recovery Tools Discussed:

Nervous system regulation techniques such as vagal toning, breathwork, humming, chanting, and EFT tapping

Cold exposure methods like placing hands under cold water or using ice packs on the chest to support vagus nerve activation

The importance of starting small with nutrition and lifestyle changes during burnout

Actively resting without guilt

Using frequency-based wellness tools to support calm and regulation

If you’ve ever been told “your eyes will only get worse” or “glasses are forever,” this episode is a refreshing (and empowering) rethink. Heather Gray sits down with holistic vision coach Claudia Muehlenweg to unpack why blurry vision isn’t just an “eyeball problem,” how the brain and nervous system influence what you see, and why stress, screen habits, and light sensitivity can quietly shape your eyesight over time.

You’ll also hear why Claudia avoids the word “reverse,” what she does teach instead, and how people of all ages can make meaningful improvements in clarity, comfort, and confidence, without obsessing over eye charts.

Episode Highlights

The myth of “nothing can be done” - Many long-held beliefs about vision may be limiting what’s actually possible.

You don’t “see” in your eyeballs, you see in your brain - The eyes receive light, but the brain interprets what you see.

Stress as a root cause of blurry vision - Nervous system stress can be a root cause of blurry vision.

Why “vision changes all day long” matters - Clarity can fluctuate based on stress, habits, and environment.

The language you use about your eyes can reinforce the problem - Negative statements about eyesight can reinforce physical strain patterns.

Light sensitivity, sunglasses, and night driving - Over-reliance on sunglasses may reduce natural pupil adaptability.

Screens aren’t the root problem—habits are - Screens don’t automatically ruin vision, poor habits like staring and reduced blinking are bigger contributors.

Your eyes are designed to move - Healthy eye movement supports clearer, more relaxed vision.

Vision health reflects whole-body health - Eye symptoms can be connected to broader lifestyle and systemic factors.

You’re not “too old” to improve - Claudia is clear: Meaningful vision improvements are possible at any age.

Episode 117: Dr Julia Sadove-Lopez

Airway Dentistry, Breathing, and Childhood Development

In this episode of Bioenergetics Beat, host Heather Gray, sits down with Dr. Julia, founder of Oris Wellness, to explore a critical and often overlooked factor in children’s health: airway development and breathing.

Dr. Julia, a dentist with advanced training in biological and airway dentistry, explains how jaw development, breathing patterns, and oral muscle function influence everything from sleep quality and attention to gut health, posture, and long-term chronic disease risk. This conversation connects the dots between dentistry, pediatrics, sleep, neurology, and whole-body wellness, offering parents powerful insights into early warning signs and actionable steps.

Key Topics Covered in This Episode:

Why kids’ health is declining: rising ADHD, spectrum concerns, chronic illness, and the role of modern lifestyle factors.

What airway dentistry is: how jaw growth, tongue posture, and the airway shape breathing and sleep.

Breathing → sleep → behavior: how mouth breathing, snoring, and poor oxygenation can affect focus, learning, mood, and nervous system regulation.

Red flags to watch for: mouth breathing, snoring, teeth grinding, crowded baby teeth, tongue ties, reflux, frequent ear infections, enlarged tonsils/adenoids, dark under-eye circles.

Chewing and development: why food texture and proper chewing support jaw growth, digestion, and healthier breathing patterns.

Bite and posture connection: how misalignment (like crossbites) may contribute to compensations in posture and body alignment.

Early detection + collaboration: why dentists can spot airway issues early and why integrated care (dental + medical + therapy) matters.

About Dr. Julia and Oris Wellness

Dr. Julia is a dentist turned airway health consultant and the founder of Oris Wellness, where she works virtually with families worldwide. Her mission is to empower parents with knowledge and prevent unnecessary suffering caused by overlooked airway and breathing issues.

The Holistic Kids on Food as Medicine, Screen-Time Boundaries, and Raising a Healthier Generation

In this inspiring conversation, host Heather Gray sits down with The Holistic Kids (Abdullah, Zane, and Ahmad), three brothers on a mission to help teens reclaim their health through real food, mindful habits, and practical lifestyle changes. They share their own “pain-to-purpose” healing stories (including sinus issues and eczema resolution), why teens are struggling more than ever, and how families can create lasting change without defaulting to a “pill for every problem” mindset.

You’ll also hear about their book, The Teen Health Revolution, built from interviews with 200+ experts and organized around their powerful R.E.V.O.L.U.T.I.O.N. framework, covering gut health, real-food nutrition, toxin reduction, tech limits, sleep, mindfulness, gratitude, and more.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode

Why teen health is declining and what families can do to reverse course

How The Holistic Kids went from daily fast food to holistic living (step-by-step)

The role of ultra-processed foods in chronic conditions and teen symptoms

How lifestyle shifts can support common teen struggles like acne, mood issues, digestive problems, and fatigue

Why “teaching teens the why” is the fastest way to inspire real change

The hidden mental and physical toll of doom-scrolling and late-night screen time

Why parents must model the behavior they want their kids to adopt

The mindset tools that help teens unlock confidence, motivation, and long-term wellness

Memorable Takeaways

Small changes can create massive shifts in teen health, especially when started early.

Real food, sleep, nature, gratitude, and community aren’t “extras”, they’re foundational.

The fastest way to reach teens is through education, ownership, and autonomy.

Parents are the environment—family wellness starts at home.

Episode 115: Dr Sergio Maldonado

Regenerative Medicine for Lyme Disease: A New Path to Healing

Healing Beyond Conventional Care with Dr. Sergio Maldonado

In this episode of Bioenergetics Beat, host Heather Gray, sits down with Dr. Sergio Maldonado, a senior regenerative physician at a holistic clinic in Vallarta, Mexico. He talks about chronic Lyme disease, post-treatment Lyme syndrome, medical tourism in Mexico, and advanced therapies like plasmapheresis, bee venom, stem cells, and ozone IV.

Dr. Sergio shares how his experience in traditional hospital systems in both the U.S. and Mexico, especially during COVID, pushed him toward regenerative medicine, holistic care, and medical tourism. He explains why so many people with chronic Lyme disease and post-treatment Lyme disease syndrome feel failed by conventional protocols and travel internationally to seek more comprehensive, individualized care.

Together, Heather and Dr. Sergio explore what regenerative medicine really is, how it differs from standard approaches, and the multi-layered, root-cause strategy his team uses to support patients with Lyme, long COVID, complex chronic illness, and advanced conditions like cancer and congenital heart disease.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode

How medical tourism in Mexico provides access to regenerative therapies that are often restricted, unavailable, or unaffordable in the U.S. and Canada

What regenerative medicine really is and why it’s frequently misunderstood or not covered by insurance

Why Lyme disease and co-infections (Borrelia, Babesia, Bartonella, and others) are so difficult to diagnose and fully resolve

The difference between acute Lyme treatment and post-treatment Lyme disease syndrome

How Lyme can disrupt DNA expression, immune regulation, nerves, hormones, joints, and organs, leading to long-term chronic symptoms

Why antibiotics alone are often not enough for chronic or post-Lyme cases

How regenerative therapies aim to repair tissue damage, regulate the immune system, and reduce chronic inflammation

The limitations of conventional, insurance-driven healthcare for complex chronic illness

Why Lyme is multi-layered, involving infection, autoimmunity, nervous system damage, and hormonal disruption

The importance of customized, evolving treatment protocols tailored to each patient

Connect with Dr. Sergio & the Clinic

To learn more about Dr. Sergio’s work, available therapies, and options for Lyme treatment, post-Lyme syndrome, long COVID, cancer support, and other complex conditions, please refer to the clinic website. Video consultations may be available for initial questions and case review, with in-person care recommended for full protocols.

Episode 114: Kristina Amelong

Constipation, Coffee Enemas & Mineral Testing: Healing the Gut from the Bottom

Up with Kristina Amelong

If you’ve ever wondered whether constipation, coffee enemas, or mineral imbalances

could be behind your fatigue, brain fog, or chronic illness, this episode is for you.

Heather Gray sits down with colon hydrotherapist and Optimal Health Network founder

Kristina Tahel Amelong, who has spent nearly three decades helping people heal their

gut, support detox, and restore energy using tools like colon hydrotherapy, enemas,

coffee enemas, and hair tissue mineral analysis (HTMA).

Kristina shares how her own chronic illness led her to open a colon hydrotherapy clinic,

build a global online wellness business, and develop time-tested protocols for people

dealing with constipation, Candida, Lyme disease, cancer, prostate issues, hormonal

imbalances, thyroid and adrenal dysfunction, and more.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

• Why constipation is a major, overlooked health issue and how infrequent bowel

movements impact detoxification, hormones, energy, and inflammation.

• Coffee Enemas 101: what they are, how they differ from drinking coffee, and why

they boost glutathione, support liver detox, improve bile flow, reduce pain, and

aid deep healing.

• How to do a coffee enema safely: why you must empty the colon first, how to

avoid reabsorbing toxins, and the importance of mold-free coffee, clean

equipment, and proper tubing care.

• Constipation relief & detox support at home: how enemas and coffee enemas

offer affordable, accessible tools for improving elimination, reducing symptoms,

and supporting the body’s natural detox pathways.

• Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (HTMA): what it reveals about mineral status, heavy

metals, thyroid and adrenal function, inflammation, and hormone balance—plus

why HTMA offers a clearer long-term picture than blood tests.

• Aluminum toxicity & brain health: common exposure sources, how aluminum

contributes to brain fog and dementia risk, and how detoxing metals can improve

cognition, sleep, and hormone balance.

• Hormone balance through minerals: how zinc-to-copper ratios can reflect

estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone issues, and how mineral-based

protocols support both men and women through hormonal challenges.

• Hope for chronic illness: why the body can heal with the right tools, and how

restoring the colon’s mucosal barrier with essential oils and suppositories

supports those with Lyme and other chronic conditions.

Kristina Tahel Amelong is a colon hydrotherapist and the founder of Optimal Health

Network, where she has spent over 27 years working with clients both in-clinic and

globally via phone consultations. She has developed specialized protocols focused on:

• Colon hydrotherapy & enema therapy

• Coffee enemas and at-home detox tools

• Hair tissue mineral analysis interpretation

Kristina is also the author of “10 Days to Optimal Health” and has created extensive

written and video education to help people safely use enemas and coffee enemas at

home.

Episode 113: Lori Clemmons

Rewire Your Wellness: Self-Compassion and Limbic System Retraining

In this heart-centered conversation, Heather Gray sits down with Lori Clemmons, neural retraining coach and author of Rewire Your Wellness, to talk about how self-compassion and limbic system retraining can transform the healing journey for people living with chronic illness, mold illness, and nervous system dysregulation.

Lori shares her powerful story of going from thriving to bedbound for a year and a half, sleeping 20 hours a day, and collecting diagnoses like chronic fatigue syndrome, lupus, celiac disease, chemical sensitivity, and mold-related illness. Despite “normal” labs and doctors telling her to “learn to live with it,” her symptoms persisted, and even followed her to a brand-new, mold-free home.

Everything shifted when Lori discovered neuroplasticity and limbic system (neural) retraining. By changing her self-talk, lowering her chronic stress response, and practicing compassionate awareness, she gradually calmed her overactive nervous system, and within about 10 months, she was able to walk a 5K for the first time in her life.

What you will learn:

Lori’s 27-year chronic illness journey

What limbic system / neural retraining actually is

Compassionate Self-Coaching: Lori’s core framework

Compassionate Awareness

Self-Coaching

Self-Care (Practical Steps)

Why “just get over it” doesn’t work for trauma & chronic illness

Feeding what you want to grow

Practical awareness tools for everyday life

Reframing your relationship with your body

Celebrating tiny moments of joy

Rewire Your Wellness by Lori Clemmons

Throughout the conversation, Heather also highlights the importance of having tools that support your nervous system so you’re not pushing the healing boulder uphill all by yourself. The NIKKI wearable is one such tool, designed to deliver supportive frequencies for:

Vagus Nerve Support

Stress Relief

Emotional Balance and Nervous System Regulation

Lori is the author of Rewire Your Wellness and offers both personal and group coaching for those ready to move out of survival mode and toward peace, purpose, and wellness.
