Have you ever felt like your body just knew when the beat dropped? There’s a reason for that, and as it turns out, that rhythm can do a whole lot more than get you moving. It can help you heal.

In this week’s episode of Homes That Heal, I sit down with Brian Harris, Chief Scientific Officer and co-founder of MedRhythms, to explore how music therapy for stroke recovery and neurological conditions like Parkinson’s is becoming a real, science-backed treatment complete with FDA clearance and clinical results.

We’re talking neuroscience, rhythm, AI, and how Brian went from small-town Maine musician to pioneering a prescription music product that’s helping people walk again.

👤 Peter Kolat’s Bio:

Peter Kolat is not your average motivational rah-rah. He’s a transformational powerhouse who’s been called the “Polish Tony” by his students, but don’t worry, he’s shorter and way funnier.

After landing in America at 14 with zero English and one suitcase (true story), he went on to become a Top 100 Most Influential People Online (according to Fast Company magazine), is a 2-time Transformational Coach of the Year, co-host of the Lifeonaire Show, and the author of the mind-bending new book “The Authentic Self Rebirth- A Simple, Proven Framework to Break Free and Become Who You’re Meant to Be.” — a 4D interactive journey that’s flipping the personal development world on its head.

He’s spoken on over 100 stages, helped 6- and 7-figure entrepreneurs across 16 industries, and most importantly, he knows how to break through the BS stories holding you back, in less time than it takes to microwave your leftover pierogi.

Get ready to shift your mind, shake up your beliefs, and laugh a little too hard along the way…
Polish Peter Kolat is the transformational coach who’ll help you meet the real you (yes, the one that’s been waiting to be reborn).
