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

In this powerful episode of Bioenergetics Beats, host Heather Gray sits down with Dana Hargus, licensed mental health counsellor and founder of Restore of Ada, to explore how biofeedback and neurofeedback are transforming mental health, trauma recovery, and nervous system regulation. If you’ve ever felt stuck in fight-or-flight mode, hit a healing plateau, or wondered how to reset your nervous system, this conversation is a must-listen.

Dana shares her journey from special education teacher and adoptive mom to neurofeedback practitioner after seeing the limitations and sometimes harm, of traditional mental health medications. Her son’s remarkable transformation through consistent brain training revealed the life-changing potential of this non-invasive approach.

Dana breaks down how neurofeedback works, using real-time brainwave monitoring and visual feedback to retrain the brain toward calm and regulation. This subconscious process helps reduce chronic stress, anxiety, and trauma responses, often leading to rapid improvements in sleep, focus, emotional control, and overall resilience.

Drawing inspiration from Dr. Carolyn Leaf’s research, Dana highlights how our thoughts can directly shape our biochemistry. By learning to shift thought patterns and reframe emotional experiences, listeners can profoundly influence their physical and mental wellness.

Key Takeaways

• Biofeedback retrains the brain to self-regulate, reduce stress, and improve mental clarity.
• Healing requires a multi-layered approach—addressing nutrition, lifestyle, and emotional regulation.
• Thoughts shape biochemistry—shifting your focus can transform your physiology.
• Nervous system healing creates space and resilience for real life to happen with grace.

Episode 111: Katie Wells

Nature as Medicine: Fixing Nature Deficit Disorder

Nature Deficit Disorder - why sunlight, grounding and minerals often beat “biohacks”

Heather sits down with longtime friend and “wellness mama” Katie Wells to unpack Nature Deficit Disorder - the modern drift away from sunlight, earth, water, and real human connection. Katie shares how decades of research, motherhood, and her own reversal of Hashimoto’s reframed health from “biochemical first” to bioelectrical first: support voltage, circadian rhythm, minerals, and community…then layer smart tools like NIKKI.

Top takeaways

Community is a health input. Post-pandemic loneliness is a major risk factor; Katie built a brick-and-mortar wellness hub that pairs modalities (sauna, yoga) with real-world connection - “Vitamin H (humans).”

You are your primary provider. Moms (and motivated patients) often become better researchers than anyone else. Bring experts in as partners, but stay in the driver’s seat.

Bioelectrical > biochemical (upstream vs downstream). Cellular communication is voltage-gated; light, grounding, water, and minerals are the “conductors” that make everything else work.

Morning & midday sun are medicine. Early natural light sets cortisol/melatonin and stabilizes circadian rhythm; healthy midday sun supports nitric oxide, mitochondria, and mineral usage. Aim for exposure without burning.

Minerals make you conductive. Electrolytes (especially sodium, potassium, magnesium) are crucial for sodium-potassium pumps and cellular signalling. Quality matters, choose clean, tested salts and avoid excess iodine unless advised.

Foundations first; biohacks second. Grounding, sunrise light, breathing, real food, sleep, movement, and safe nervous-system signals amplify everything else, including wearables and supplements.

Mindset shifts biology. Reframing symptoms as communication (not “my body is attacking me”) helps the nervous system downshift into safety and supports healing.

Memorable quotes

“At the end of the day, we are each our own primary healthcare provider.” - Katie

“Most ‘biohacks’ are imperfect attempts to mimic nature.” - Katie

“When the body feels safe and gets the right inputs, it knows how to heal.” - Katie

Episode 110: Mindy Gorman-Plutzer. Food Freedom and the Body's Innate Wisdom

Midlife Metamorphosis with Mindy Gorman-Plutzer

Award-winning coach and author Mindy Gorman-Plutzer joins Heather Gray to unpack how women can transform their relationship with food and body during perimenopause, menopause, and beyond. From dismantling diet-culture myths to healing the gut and rebuilding self-trust, Mindy shares her 4R Freedom Method, a functional, compassionate roadmap to feeling lighter in body and life.

You’ll learn

What “midlife metamorphosis” really means and why it starts with self-worth, not willpower.

Diet-culture lies to ditch (e.g., “all foods fit” and “everything in moderation” for everyone).

Mindful eating, redefined: presence over obsession, how to actually feel “enough” and stop when you’re satisfied.

The gut–brain–hormone connection: why chronic dieting and disordered patterns often leave digestive fallout (bloat, irregularity, inflammation).

Functional testing as a compass: how tools like GI-MAP and Gut Zoomer plus targeted genetics can guide a truly bio-individual plan.

The 4R Freedom Method: Recognize, Reject/Release, Reclaim, and Radically Accept.

Body goals without shame: pursuing strength and leanness while honoring biology and individuality.

How to quiet the inner critic and tune in to inner wisdom.

Longevity Myths, Healthspan, and AI-Powered Preventive Care with Hunter Ziesing

Former elite cyclist and longevity entrepreneur Hunter Ziesing joins Heather Gray to unpack common longevity myths, why “healthspan” matters more than lifespan, and how data-driven testing (DEXA, VO₂ max, CGM, gut microbiome, and sleep studies) plus human-in-the-loop AI can personalize preventive care. They also discuss behavior change, conflicting health advice, and practical ways to build a foundation before “biohacking.”

Key Takeaways:

• Healthspan > Lifespan: The goal isn’t just living longer; it’s staying functional and resilient for more years.
• The three big problems in longevity today: too much advice, conflicting guidance, and limited medical support for functional tests.
• Foundations First: Before advanced “biohacks,” prioritize sleep, movement, nutrition, stress regulation, and consistent habits.
• Data Guides the Plan: Core tests like DEXA (bone density & visceral fat), VO₂ max, comprehensive bloodwork, gut microbiome, CGM, and sleep studies provide actionable baselines.
• One-Size-Fits-None: Conflicting online advice improves when filtered through your personal data, history, and goals.
• Human + AI: AI can summarize labs and suggest next steps, while clinicians ensure safety, context, and accountability.
• Behavior Change Works: Small incentives and clear targets (e.g., 150 minutes/week of elevated heart rate) can consistently move the needle.

Episode 107: Dr Neetu Sharma

Kidney Care: Lifestyle Tips for the Organ the Others Rely On

Kidney Health, Metabolism & The Filtration Reboot with Dr. Neetu Sharma, MD (Nephrology + Functional Medicine)

Nephrologist and functional medicine practitioner Dr. Neetu Sharma joins Heather Gray to spotlight the kidneys as the body’s “unsung heroes.” Motivated by personal family experiences with kidney failure, Dr. Sharma applies both conventional and root-cause tools to help patients optimize filtration and longevity.

She explains how healthy kidneys do far more than make urine, they influence hormones, blood pressure, mineral balance, vitamin D activation, inflammation, insulin sensitivity, brain clarity, and overall metabolic health. Dr. Sharma shares practical lifestyle upgrades (hydration, sleep, stress care, medication awareness), clears up common misconceptions about UTIs and pelvic floor links, and introduces her Filtration Reboot Protocol - a root-cause approach that integrates kidney physiology, cellular clearance, and the brain’s glymphatic system.

Most people and many care plans, focus on gut and liver while overlooking kidney health. If you deal with fatigue, brain fog, stubborn weight, blood pressure swings, recurrent UTIs, or post-COVID setbacks, this discussion connects the dots between kidney function and whole-body wellness.

Key Takeaways

• Kidneys are endocrine and metabolic organs. They help regulate hormones (e.g., erythropoietin for red blood cell production), blood pressure (via the RAS system), electrolytes/minerals, pH, and vitamin D activation, impacting energy, metabolism, and insulin sensitivity.
• “Sluggish kidneys” ripple system-wide. Expect higher inflammation, insulin and leptin dysregulation (constant hunger/“food noise”), and potential brain fog from toxin buildup.
• Hydration is non-negotiable. Kidneys filter ~50 gallons/day; dehydration clogs filtration. Sip water consistently; consider a pinch of electrolytes (if blood pressure allows) and lemon.
• NSAIDs are not kidney-friendly. Use OTC painkillers like ibuprofen/naproxen sparingly; acetaminophen (Tylenol) is generally safer for kidneys when used as directed.
• Sleep & stress shape clearance. Deep sleep supports glymphatic clearance in the brain, which ultimately relies on kidney filtration.
• UTIs & pelvic floor. Recurrent UTIs can have simple root causes (hygiene habits, hydration) or pelvic floor dysfunction; probiotics/prebiotics and cotton undergarments may help support a healthier microbiome and bladder environment.
• Recovery depends on timing. Acute kidney injuries (dehydration, certain meds) can often rebound if addressed early; long-standing damage with fibrosis may only partially improve but can be optimized.

Caroline Cory on Consciousness, Frequency-Based Health & the Making of Superhuman 2

Caroline Cory: award-winning filmmaker, author, consciousness researcher, and founder of the OMnium Method; creator of the acclaimed documentary Superhuman: The Invisible Made Visible and founder of Omnium Media.

Miriam and Nicole talk with visionary filmmaker and consciousness researcher Caroline Cory as she returns to explore how consciousness, frequency, and physiology intersect and why measurable, science-backed approaches are bringing “the unseen” into everyday wellness. She shares behind-the-scenes updates on Superhuman 2 (with appearances from thought leaders like Bruce Lipton, Greg Braden, and Deepak Chopra), new lab-style experiments (including blindfolded perception under scientific controls), and a practical framework for frequency-based health. We also talk about Caroline’s curated Superhuman bioenergetic programs for NIKKI, why effective frequency work is a stack (not a single Hz), and how “clean reset reprogram” sequencing can support calm, clarity, and better sleep.

What You’ll Learn

Consciousness meets data: How live, controlled experiments help ground subtle phenomena in measurable outcomes.

Why frequency stacks matter: The brain and body don’t respond to a single tone, effective programs use hundreds of frequencies in purposeful sequences.

Caroline’s 3-step method: Clean accumulated “noise,” reset to a neutral baseline, then reprogram toward desired patterns (e.g., calm, focus, restoration).

Frequency-based wellness, demystified: Practical ways light and frequency can serve as information inputs for the body’s self-regulation.

Behind Superhuman 2: New experiments (including work with blind participants), next-gen frequency diagnostics, and featured experts. Caroline is finishing post-production on Superhuman 2, with global distribution interest and a focus on frequency-based health technologies and rigorous demonstrations.

Daily tools that help: Why programs like Energetic Cleanse, Connect to Source, Inner Peace, Chemistry/pH Balance, Abundance, and Sleep are “everyday essentials.”

The NIKKI × Superhuman collaboration: Caroline’s programs translated into light-delivered, multi-frequency stacks for daily support.

Quotes to Share

“We’re electrical beings - frequency is simply information our system can use.”

“Effective protocols aren’t one note, they’re orchestrations.”
