General anesthesia is often described as “going to sleep,” yet the science suggests something far more complex is happening at the level of brain communication. When consciousness is chemically disrupted, neural integration can fragment, contributing to cognitive changes.

We dive deeper into this in the latest C3 Podcast: CODE Conscious Conversations episode with Dr. Sande Bargeron. We also chat about why anesthesia is not sleep, where consciousness goes under general anesthesia, and how surgery can fragment brain communication at a cellular level.

Dr. Sande Bargeron, BCDNM, PA-C, is a Board-Certified Doctor of Natural Medicine and Double Board Certified Physician Assistant and Anesthetist with over 20 years of experience bridging conventional and functional medicine. She holds a PhD in Natural Medicine and is the founder of Beyond Brain Health and creator of the BrainSafe Anesthesia Recovery protocols.

What's Discussed:

• (06:26) The “bait and switch” from physical diagnosis to disease-based medicine
• (10:08) Autoimmune flare after anesthesia exposure, stress, and immune suppression
• (12:47) Essential oils as a catalyst into functional and gut-focused medicine
• (16:48) A 10-minute anesthesia procedure preceding severe neurological decline
• (23:20) Microtubules, quantum frequency, and the proposed mechanism of consciousness
• (28:52) Why anesthesia is not sleep and how it shuts down brain function
• (31:29) Genetic factors like red hair and collagen disorders altering anesthesia response
• (36:14) Neuro-resilience, brain fragmentation, and preparing cognitively before surgery

For decades, holistic and energy-based practices were dismissed as “woo,” even as more people experienced real shifts in their health and awareness. Now, science and technology are beginning to validate what many practitioners have known all along, creating tension between old medical models and what’s emerging next.

We dive deeper into this in the latest C3 Podcast: CODE Conscious Conversations episode with Lawrence Ellyard. We also chat about how once-dismissed “woo” practices are becoming measurable, water as an information carrier, and how perception and thought influence the nervous system and biology.

Lawrence Ellyard is the author of nine books and the founder and chairman of the International Institute for Complementary Therapists (IICT). He holds a Master of Transpersonal Studies from the IKON Institute and has over 30 years of experience in natural health and complementary therapies. He is also the founder of the International Institute for Reiki Training and an Aikido Sensei (4th Dan black belt).

What's Discussed:

• (02:31) Why the “new woo” reframes biohacking and self-care as mainstream wellness
• (03:29) How once dismissed practices become normalized as human optimization
• (07:38) Measuring energy in health and why technology changes credibility
• (10:52) Water as an information carrier and consciousness imprinted into biology
• (12:12) Intention focused water experiments and visible structural change
• (13:36) How thoughts and emotional states directly influence physical biology
• (27:22) Why somatic therapy addresses trauma through the body, not intellect
• (38:49) Nervous system coherence and sympathetic resonance shaping shared energy

Healing often stalls when the body’s signals are never properly interpreted. When sleep and inflammation are assessed through symptoms alone, their underlying drivers remain a matter of guesswork, and the patterns behind them stay the same.

We dive deeper into this in the C3 Podcast: CODE Conscious Conversations with John Baxter. We also chat about frequency based body scanning as a tool for system-wide measurement, why symptoms show up late, and how clearer data makes recovery a more intentional process.

John Baxter is an entrepreneur and inventor with over 25 years of experience in health technology. He is the CEO and founder of Anti-Aging Bed and the creator of frequency based health technologies recognized by Bloomberg as the world’s leading health innovation.

Baxstar currently offers a free frequency based body scan. Anyone can participate by sending a small sample of hair and a nail clipping. The scan can be done remotely and provides a system-wide assessment of how the body is functioning at an electrical and informational level.

What's Discussed:

• (00:00:55) Why sleep is when your body decides if healing can actually happen
• (00:02:59) How light exposure flips the switch between stress mode and repair mode
• (00:05:00) The hidden link between poor sleep, cortisol, metabolism, and weight gain
• (00:12:41) How tiny daily improvements compound into major long-term health shifts
• (00:20:41) Why the ears can be used as an access point to scan the whole nervous system
• (00:23:41) How AI turns complex body scan data into clear, usable health insight
• (00:30:49) How a few strands of hair and nail clippings can map your full system
• (00:38:09) Why grounding is the foundation for reducing interference and restoring recovery
