It is my pleasure to be here, sir. Lovely, lovely. So, Harlan, before we start, I'd quickly love to introduce you to the listeners. Uh, the listeners. So, uh, leveraging almost two decades of, uh, uh, rich experience in the healthcare industry and his profound knowledge as the insurance broker, he has, uh, journeyed through the shifting, uh, signs of the insurance and the healthcare sector. So, uh, over the years, uh, he has adapted, innovated and recognized the need for affordable yet comprehensive insurance coverage, which is tailored to the individual needs. So champions are alternative funded solutions, disrupting the traditional insurance landscapes to make room for more flexible and personalized healthcare plans. So his work with Eagle Care uh, health solution insurers like, uh, everyone gets the health care they deserve without breaking the bank. So we're thrilled to have you with us, Harlan. Yeah. Thank you. Thank you so very much. Uh, you know, this is this is truly my passion to make sure people have access to the health care that they deserve. And it's such a huge deal because the whole health care system is so complicated, and people don't get the care that they need. And, you know, just like the the name of your show, the healthy, you know, healthy mind, healthy life that is that is just so true. I think it is so true that you have to have those things working in conjunction, because if you don't have your health and you're really missing out, right, you're you're really going to be behind the eight ball there. And we know if you start having health problems, the mental issues that come with that are not far behind. And it just then it starts snowballing and things just go off the rails really quickly. Exactly, exactly. So to start with, I mean, um, if you can share your perspective on how primary care providers can play a pivotal role in supporting the mental health for their parents. Sorry, patients. My bad. Yeah, yeah. No, that's a great question because that's where it really all starts. One of the the biggest misconceptions that people have is that they should only go to the doctor when they're sick. If you wait until things get that bad, or until you get what we call sick care what you want, you get into sick care. You're already behind. Now you're playing catch up to get ahead of the game that you could have been ahead of to begin with, if you were taking care of yourself with the right kind of primary care and preventative care, if you were out there actively making sure that your health stayed, stay good, and that goes right back into the mental health side of it, because most folks do not realize how much training a primary care doctor has towards that as well. That's usually your first line of defense against anxiety, against depression. So many of those things that start out and then it can can really start rolling downhill. And, man, you're in big trouble now because you didn't catch those early and start getting treatments. And treatments don't have to be medication, folks. A lot of times just having that conversation and getting ahead of it before it becomes a bigger problem that can put you in a whole different place. Yeah. One of the good things that came out of Covid is that people are a little more. Open to speak about some of the psychological things that happened during that time. You know, we're humans are social animals and being locked into a place where they couldn't interact with people, it had a very detrimental effect on a number of people. And the the person that you should turn to first to talk about that is actually your primary care physician. Uh, but here is the tough part of it. In a traditional system, uh, like we have here in America, where it's a fee for service. The fee for service primary care doctor typically doesn't have time to spend with you. They only have 5 to 7 minutes to talk about all of your issues. So then they're just referring you off to somebody else. Well, that's where these alternative models come in with direct primary care. Advanced primary care. Those doctors give you 30, 45 an hour worth of time to really dig into what's going on and help you in a more holistic way. That is the future, and that is what can help you have that healthy mind and healthy life. Exactly. That's very true. Yeah. So, uh. Okay. Also, like, how do you see, uh, the role of alternative, uh, funded health care solutions contributing to the overall healing of the mind, body and soul? Yeah. So the, the the solution that you choose, whether it is a traditional health solution, a health insurance plan or an alternative funded plan will determine the time of type of care you get. I know that sounds kind of crazy, but it's amazing how many people I ask them, hey, who do you get your health care from? And they name their insurance company? Well, let me tell you something, folks. There is not a single insurance company out there that provides health care. They pay for health care, but they don't provide health care. So when you start letting someone dictate, in this case, an insurance company who you go and see and how long you can see them, because they're only going to pay for so much, that's when you find yourself in trouble. That is why getting an alternative health solution, something that's a little outside of the box. But that is all so centered around you as the patient and not on profit. Let's let's be honest what our insurance companies about profiteering, right. They're their profit companies. And if they're out there to make profit, you're not in the center of it. Uh, but when you have a plan that's built around you, that's built around the actual patient, that means that you will now get the services that you deserve and you get the care that you deserve, and we'll have a much better outcomes. And once again, back to the name of your show. Have a healthier mind and healthier life. That's what it's all about. That's really what it's all about, is giving someone the time, giving someone the care that they deserve, and having someone listen to them. That's one of the biggest complaints people have is my. My doctor doesn't listen to me. My doctor. I think this is what's going on. I really want to talk to my doctor about it. But they don't have time. And whenever I am talking to them, it's like they're not listening to me. They've already decided what they want to do, refer me out or give me another medication. And you know, how many people have I seen that have this giant list of medications? And half of those medications are to counteract the side effects of the other medications that they're taking. So it's just a vicious cycle that they're in where medication is not always the answer. Care. Proper care is the answer. Exactly. Yeah. Also, like, uh, what, according to you, are some of the common misconceptions people have about the alternative funded solutions in the health care? No, that's a that's an excellent, excellent question. Because as soon as we start talking about alternative solutions, a lot of times people are like, whoa, whoa, whoa, I gotta have my health insurance. If I don't have my health insurance, that means I don't have access to health care. That is simply not true. Remember what I just said? Health insurance is not health care. They're just paying for health care. Well, alternative solutions do the same thing. But with the alternative solutions you have more control over what those look like. You get to help build those. You get to use the parts that you need. Most people look at an insurance plan, and they cannot even imagine what it takes to build that and all the pieces of it. And it is extremely complicated, just like our health system is extremely complicated. But I will tell you this, once you open up that box and you actually look at what's inside there and realize that you can work with someone like Eagle Care, they can rebuild that, but rebuild it where it's centered around you as the patient instead of just over here making money. Then that is what changes it. Because the misconception really is, is you have to have insurance to get health care, and that because there are two separate things, that is not true, an alternative funded or alternative design plan can work much more efficiently and actually provides you better access to care, more affordable access to care, and higher quality care at that. Uh, health care is a very strange thing is, it's one of the very few things, if not the only thing out there, that you don't get what you pay for. Typically, if it cost more, the care is better, is worse. In health care, you're paying more. You're getting less care because we pay so much for administration in health care that if you're going to a practice that, let's say, just takes cash and doesn't do insurance, they have less overhead and they usually have much better outcomes. It's a very strange dynamic in the health care world, but usually the lower price, the better the care. Unless unless you're also, uh, I mean, um, if you can share some of these specific examples, like how Eagle Care solution, Eagle Healthcare solution, uh, has made a significant impact on an individual's or families access to the healthcare. Yeah, absolutely. I'll tell you, one, that we've had two very recent ones that were, I mean, life altering for folks. Uh, one of them was a young lady that she, her child was due in March. So they got she. They've been on Eagle Care for about three years now. She got pregnant last year. Her baby was due at the end of March. However, at the end of, uh. Now. And through this process, what do you do? So let me explain a little bit about what when you're in this kind of process, we already had everything set up. She had already fully paid for what it was going to cost her to have her, her child, her part, which was actually only $1,000. They chose a plan with a very low out-of-pocket, so she had already paid her $1,000. Everything was fully taken care of for whenever she had her baby in March. What, of course they planned on was a very traditional birth with no complications. That's what you plan on, right? Well, that's not what happened at the end of January. She had to have an emergency C-section. So her child was born two months early. The child then had to spend a month in NICU. Uh, the mom was in the hospital for about a week. Uh, where all of a sudden they only had $1,000 out of pocket. Now they're terrified because they have this, not insurance. We don't have insurance. And all of these things have gone bad. And we know that the bill is well over 100,000. This is going to financially ruinous. That was their thought. But it didn't work out that way. They still only paid their $1,000. Everything else was taken care of. We negotiated with the hospital, um, to pay for a settlement. Not anything as far as, uh, uh, it goes on anyone's credit record. Remember the prices that they're charging or what insurance companies would pay. And it usually takes them 6 to 8 months to get paid. Instead, we came to the hospital and said, hey, what if we paid you 50% of what the the charges were today? And the hospital said, yeah, yeah, we're working on that. You're good. So we were able to cut the bill, the overall bill. Actually over more than 50%, and the client still paid no more than the $1,000 that they originally had, so they were not in any kind of ruin. The hospital was actually happy because they received all of their funds right now, instead of waiting months and finding an insurance company for them. So they're happy to give you a discounted rate when you're going to pay them quickly or you pay them upfront. We also had somebody with with some heart issues last year. It's been almost uh, it's about 11 months ago. She had a into having to have a pacemaker and she had some other heart issues. Well, this is very recent, so just, uh, just about three weeks ago, she all of a sudden started having chest pains again and had to go to the E.R.. Now, her out-of-pocket that she chose was $2,500. So back whenever she had the original issue and she was in the hospital for two weeks, she ended up paying a total of $2,500. Everything else, bill wise, which was over $80,000. We negotiated that down to less than 20,000. Still, only her part was 2500. But the way our options are set up is until you were medically cleared from whatever has happened to you for 12 months, you will not have to pay any more if you have something else, go on with that situation. So here it was. 11 months later, she had to go to the E.R. again because she was having heart issues. She was in the hospital once again for a week. They had to do a heart ablation. Uh, the whole the bill ended up being well over $100,000. We negotiated that down to less than $10,000, 8700. And she had no more out of pocket. No more, because she had already paid the 2500 in the past, and it was still part of the same type treatment she had had before. It's still related to her heart. She paid no more else out of pocket. So these are just two instances where these folks would have been tens of thousands of dollars out of pocket if they would have had traditional health insurance, and they'd have been paying a whole lot more for their plan to begin with. And they had a very, very much lower cost. Uh, you know, like I said, thousands or tens of thousands of dollars of less across the board for because they had Eagle care. That's perfect. Definitely. So. So, uh, what role do you see technology is playing in the future of, uh, personalized health care plans and how care incorporating, uh, the technology into their solutions? Yeah. No, that's a that's another really good question because the future of health plans, I'm quite honestly, the overall future is really going to be dictated still by health insurance companies. They're huge. They're huge. They're going to dominate the market just like they've always dominated the market. Now what technology is going to do, however, is it's going to open up opportunities for smaller companies like ours to start chipping a little bit more away, chipping a little bit more away on that, because as we have technology and people, you know, if you're watching right here, all of you have one of these phones right there out there, all of you have one of these. And the more you can do on that, the more access to health care you have on that, and the more you're able to see what your options are. So let me tell you what that means. If you could shop on this phone. Think about what you do on Amazon or on anywhere on your Walmart app. It doesn't make any difference. You go out there and you shop for services. People don't do that for health care. They just don't do it. You don't shop by price. But what if you did? What if you didn't have to worry about the insurance company telling you who you can go see, but you actually got to shop for those services on your phone. That's what technology can bring, because now you're actually being the fiduciary of your own money. You're no longer paying an insurance company some outrageous amount of money to maybe for for the babies. Right. Then think about this. Who buys health or who buys insurance for your vehicle to cover your oil? Changes to cover your windshield, wiper blades to cover your brake pads. You don't do that. You buy it for the big stuff. Well, what if you did that for your health insurance? What if you did that for your health care and only bought protection for the big stuff? And then you were able to shop for the little things, just like you do for your car on your phone? What if you were able to do that, and you then could spend your money in a much more fiduciary way of your own life to be sure that you're getting the best value and the best outcomes. What if you could look at your phone and see this doctor charges $80 for a visit, and I'm and it's not just Google reviews, it's actually technology that shows you how good of a doctor this doctor is. What are his outcomes? How what does this patient say? What is the rate of hospitalizations for his patients? Because if you see his patients have a low hospital rates, that means he's doing a great job keeping them out of the hospital. He's taking care of them. If you can look at that information and then you look at another one that, hey, maybe this guy is the same $80, but he's got a much higher rate of people going to the hospital. To me, I want this guy over here, but people can't shop like that right now. If they can't shop, like, the technology's just not quite there and the big guys don't want it. Let's be honest. They don't want that technology out there because then people would wouldn't be able to use them or wouldn't have to turn to them for it. But once that type technology is there, that's going to change the game, that if we can get people to start thinking differently then and think like the consumer, if it's really consumerism, then and they have the thought of consumerism in their mind with health care like they do with everything else, that's going to change the game. Exactly. That's very, very true. Yeah. And, um, also, uh, just to, uh, check, like as someone who has, uh, innovated within the insurance sector, how do you see the future of healthcare evolving to integrate both the ancient and, uh, the modern practices for the holistic health? That's that's a that's interesting to look at from a few different ways, because there's not a lot of incentive for those big insurance companies to integrate these type things, to integrate direct primary care, advanced primary care, Because those models are not they're not set on fee for service. They're set on a per month basis that somebody pays and they can get they can. It's an all you can eat buffet, as it were. I'm paying you a fee every month, and then I can go as many times as I want to. I can contact you via phone. I can contact you on whatever it takes. But insurance is not set up that way. Insurance is set up in a fee for service. You. This doctor provides a service. He bills the insurance company. The insurance company then pays them. So the integration of this in there, I think there's going to be trials. I think that there are some insurance companies are going to try this, but there's going to be a lot of pushback on it from other doctors that are not in this model, that are traditional fee for service. I was recently in a meeting just this week where one of the big insurance companies, one of the Blues, was in that meeting listening to us talk to a large, very, very large employer. Uh, they have over, like, really had like 100,000 employees across the country, but they're listening to us, talk to them about putting in one of these models where their employees can go to the doctor for all of their primary care needs at zero cost. And we're not talking about just primary care, but we're talking about mental wellness, uh, physical therapy and chiropractic all wrapped into one thing. And they can go and receive all of those benefits for zero cost. And then you can just see the look on there. These these insurance companies face, they're just they don't get it. They're they're just shocked that these things are. How are you doing this? Why are you doing this? You're putting me out of a job, man. You know, they're they're really struggling with these concepts because it goes against everything that they're doing. It goes against everything. And I think they're going to have to embrace it to a certain degree. Like I said, I really believe there's going to be some levels that they try it at and right now, Medicare and Medicaid or doing some trials with direct primary care, and that may get them to push into it a little bit and try it out, because they can then build plans in those sectors saying, hey, we're just following the rules that were given to us by the government to try this out. They may be able to dip their toe into that and see kind of how it works, and learn a little bit more and how it really plays out through their entire, uh, their entire ecosystem then that they have built their entire insurance plan. What does that look like there? But there's there's not been a lot of reason for them to do this. That's the bottom line is they're making so much money doing things in the status quo. Why would I change what I'm doing if literally, if every single year my income is going up, my revenue is going up and my profits going up, why would I switch to something that I don't know anything about? I'm just going to keep on making money. No, that's really lovely. Great. Also, uh, I mean, uh, on this when we are talking about this. So, uh. How do you balance the innovation with the need to maintain that, uh, compliance? No. Okay, great. When we build these solutions, we obviously have to look at the compliance side as well there. They have to be built with compliance in mind so that those those parts are there. Uh, they're now not everyone has to meet the same compliance. First of all, if you're, you know, certain size employers have different compliance things they have to meet than others, and some of them actually have none, depending on what state they're in and then what size their company is. You know, a company of five very little compliance they have to meet. They don't even have to offer anything if they don't want to. So in a case of a smaller company like that, it's all about what they want. We really can get down to the nuts and bolts of, well, what do you want? And what do you not want? Because there's no compliance issues here. We can build you anything that you want to do. They can go completely non-insurance. They can go completely away from any type of a risk or ACA plan, if that's what they decide to do. But yeah, once we get into certain sizes, then we have to make sure that is built into and that is considered for the employer and for the employee too, depending on once again, some states, while overall in the country there's not a mandate that you must have insurance anymore, there still are some states like California and New Jersey, where they they do have a individual mandate for folks to still have insurance. So that all has to be taken into consideration when we build plans specifically for employers. Wow. That's that's really awesome. And I would say so, uh, but this is definitely, uh.

Rewriting Your Inner Script: Limiting Beliefs, Eustress & Resilience for High Performers with Dr. Albert Bramante

On Healthy Waves, host Avik Chakraborty sits down with Dr. Albert Bramante—veteran talent agent, PhD in psychology, certified hypnotist, and NLP practitioner—to break down how the story you tell yourself shapes mental health and performance. From limiting beliefs and the inner critic to practical mindset tools like reframing, hypnosis, and NLP, Albert explains how identity shifts fuel results for actors, CEOs, and high achievers alike. You’ll learn the difference between healthy challenge (eustress) and toxic stress, how to spot early warning signs, and how to build daily systems that drive sustainable success without burnout. Direct, actionable, and grounded—this conversation helps you rewrite your inner narrative so you can perform with authenticity and balance. About the guest : Dr. Albert Bramante is a long-time talent agent with 20+ years in TV, film, and theater. He also holds a PhD in psychology, is a certified hypnotist, and an NLP practitioner. He helps actors and high-performing professionals dismantle self-sabotage, shift identity, and perform with confidence. Key takeaways: Your self-story drives outcomes: Internal narratives formed in childhood (criticism vs. celebration) shape beliefs, identity, and mental health. Identity shift > willpower: Recast yourself as a survivor, not a victim to unlock resilient behavior and better performance. Reframing works: Tools from hypnosis/NLP help reframe events, reduce the inner critic, and enable authentic delivery in high-stakes moments (e.g., auditions, boardrooms). Eustress vs. distress:Eustress (a focused, time-bound arousal) boosts performance; toxic stress lingers and disrupts sleep, breathing, and eating patterns. Spot stress early: Persistent hypervigilance, irregular sleep, and appetite shifts are cautions that coping systems need attention. Action builds confidence: Consistent, small steps with feedback loops (“fail forward”) develop durable competence and calm. Balance prevents burnout: Maintain outside interests and supportive routines to counter high-judgment environments. Mind–body is one system: Mental stress elevates cortisol, impacting the body; physical and mental practices (mindfulness, movement, breathwork) should work together. Translate strengths across domains: Map your existing professional gravitas to new performance contexts to accelerate wins. Make it practical: Label emotions, reframe limits, set growth-mindset systems, and review results weekly.

From Fixed to Fearless: How Mindset Transforms People and Organizations with Dr. Shanea Clancy

On Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik Chakraborty sits down with Dr. Shanea Clancy—international speaker, forensic nurse, business strategist, and #1 international bestselling author—to break down what it really takes to shift from a fixed mindset to a fearless, outcomes-driven culture. This direct, practical conversation covers limiting beliefs, imposter syndrome, burnout signals at the top, people-first leadership, measurable ROI from mindset work (retention, productivity, onboarding costs), and how to turn trauma into transformation without the fluff. If you lead a team—or you’re rebuilding your own resilience—this episode gives you clear steps to diagnose hidden costs, reset boundaries, and build momentum that compounds across life and work. About the guest : Dr. Shanea Clancy has addressed audiences of 65,000+, consulted for Fortune 500 companies, and shared stages with leaders like Jack Canfield and Jamie Kern Lima. Her approach integrates executive coaching, organizational consulting, and lived experience—translating mindset into concrete performance indicators across quality, safety, and culture. Key takeaways : Fixed mindset shows up as limits: persistent limiting beliefs, imposter syndrome, and unwillingness to consider other viewpoints—stalling innovation and trust. People > paperwork: SOPs and dashboards matter, but people systems determine performance. Neglect them and you pay in disengagement, sick days, and higher premiums. Hidden costs are measurable: watch AES scores, behavior-response metrics, retention, onboarding costs, and absenteeism to quantify culture gaps and ROI of leadership work. Burnout is silent and fast: leaders who try to “do it all” erode decision quality. Proactive boundary-setting, delegation, and recovery rituals reduce risk. Trauma → transformation is a process: anchor to purpose, tolerate uncertainty, and make micro-shifts; the goal is progress with fear—not the absence of it. Mindset isn’t fluff: when leaders model clarity and recognition, teams align to goals, productivity rises, and attrition falls—strategy + mindset is the multiplier. Practical moves this week: run a quick people-health audit (listening cadence, recognition, recovery time), define top 3 KPIs per role, and set one non-negotiable boundary.

Veteran Suicide Prevention, Leadership & The Power of Purpose-Driven Fitness with Rich Brown

On Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, Avik interviews Rich Brown—U.S. Marine Corps veteran, co-founder of Honor Bound Fit, and event director of Guidon 22, a 22-mile ruck with 22 pounds held around the holidays to combat veteran suicide. Rich breaks down why many veterans lose tribe and purpose after service—and how community, service-oriented leadership, and disciplined fitness can restore both. We unpack Marine-tested leadership principles that translate to business and everyday life, and how entrepreneurship can be both a path to meaning and a calculated risk worth preparing for. Clear, direct, and action-focused for listeners who want prevention, not just awareness. About the Guest: Rich Brown is a combat service-disabled U.S. Marine Corps veteran and founder of Global Protective Services, co-founder of Honor Bound Fit (Fredericksburg, VA), and event director of Guidon 22—a ruck march dedicated to preventing veteran suicide and honoring fallen veterans and first responders. Key Takeaways: Guidon 22 = action over awareness: a 22-mile ruck with 22 pounds held near the holidays (when suicide risk spikes) to prevent, not just publicize, veteran suicide. Tribe + purpose are protective: after transition to civilian life, losing unit identity and mission raises risk; structured community and shared goals help restore meaning. Leadership that serves down the chain: the general thinks about the private; leaders exist to enable the frontline to perform. Train yourself out of a job: promote readiness by teaching your team to do your role—master it, then transfer it. Always communicate the “why”: commander's intent empowers smarter, adaptive execution; repeat what matters—consistency isn’t “hazing,” it’s accountability. Be useful first: orient attention outward—help the person to your left/right; usefulness builds personal belief and resilience. Fitness as prevention, not just recovery: moderate-to-intense training improves mood and longevity; add first-aid and protector skills for real-world readiness. Tough and tender: true strength is knowing when to push and when to support—vulnerability and courage aren’t opposites. Entrepreneurship for veterans: meaningful path with upside and real risk—prepare, de-risk, and apply service-honed decision-making.

Live Longer, Healthier & More Impactful: Evidence-Based Brain Health, Sleep, Movement, Nutrition & Stress Mastery with Dr. Ryan Williamson

On Healthy Waves with host Avik Chakraborty, board-certified neurologist and Navy veteran Dr. Ryan Williamson breaks down what actually extends lifespan and healthspan. He rejects hype and quick fixes, and shows how four evidence-backed pillars—sleep quality, daily movement, smart nutrition, and effective stress management—protect the brain, sharpen cognition, and reduce all-cause mortality. We also cover wearable tracking (e.g., sleep), circadian rhythm and morning light, VO₂ max and strength training, and how purpose and meaning anchor sustainable habits. If you want a practical, science-first roadmap to longevity and cognitive performance, this conversation is for you. About the Guest : Ryan Williamson, MD is a board-certified neurologist, proud Navy veteran, and founder of Transcend Health. His mission: help people optimize cognitive performance, prevent chronic disease, and live lives of meaning and impact. He is the author of The Incredible Brain. Key Takeaways : Longevity is mostly behavioral: 70–90% of outcomes relate to daily choices across sleep, movement, nutrition, and stress. Movement first. Morning light + a short walk sets circadian rhythm, boosts daytime alertness, and supports deeper sleep at night. Measure sleep, don’t guess. Wearables (e.g., a ring tracker) can reveal how meals, alcohol, and routines change deep sleep, HR, and HRV. Strength + cardio both matter. VO₂-max work and resistance training independently correlate with lower all-cause mortality and better brain health. Nutrition is foundational. Emphasize fiber and healthy fats; avoid overcomplication and product-driven advice lacking evidence. Stress skills are non-negotiable. Simple, repeatable practices (breath, boundaries, recovery windows) reduce cognitive load and inflammation. Purpose drives consistency. Clarifying meaning makes habit adherence easier than chasing biohacks. Beware misinformation. Filter sources by credentials, scientific grounding, and conflicts of interest before acting.

Concussions, Mental Health & Real Recovery: Autonomic Nervous System, Brain Inflammation, and Functional Neurology with Dr. Ayla Wolf

Concussions don’t always show up on scans—but they can reshape mood, sleep, focus, and quality of life. In this direct conversation on Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, Dr. Ayla Wolf—acupuncturist, funct/ional neurology practitioner, and author of The Concussion Breakthrough—explains why many post-concussion symptoms are missed, how autonomic nervous system dysregulation drives anxiety, and why brain inflammation is a crucial, often misunderstood piece. We cover practical, non-pharmaceutical strategies (vision–vestibular rehab, targeted drills, acupuncture, clean nutrition, toxin reduction) and how to track progress with clear, objective markers. If you or someone you love has “mystery” brain fog, dizziness, or mood shifts after a head impact, this episode is a grounded roadmap to smarter recovery. Guest: Dr. Ayla Wolf About the Guest : Dr. Ayla Wolf is a Doctor of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine, founder of Healing Response: Acupuncture & Functional Neurology, host of Life After Impact: The Concussion Recovery Podcast, and author of the 600-page guide The Concussion Breakthrough: Discover the Missing Pieces to Recovery. She blends science and integrative care to help patients resolve complex, lingering effects of head injury. Key Takeaways: Concussions are often invisible injuries. Many never receive a formal diagnosis; symptoms like anxiety, depression, brain fog, and sleep issues may surface months later. Standard scans can miss functional problems. ER CTs rule out bleeds and fractures but don’t diagnose concussion or dysautonomia. Autonomic nervous system (ANS) dysregulation is central. Imbalances in sympathetic/parasympathetic tone can show up as racing heart, sweating, overwhelm, and heightened stress reactivity. Brain inflammation is misunderstood. It can be regional (not “whole brain”), influenced by diet, toxins, and lifestyle; medicine lacks a single “blockbuster” drug solution. Assessment must be individualized. No one-size protocol—patients present with different blends of neck/vestibular/ocular/cognitive issues. Use objective markers to track progress. Balance tests, eye-movement integrity, and positional challenges help verify whether therapies are working. Therapy can be creative and multimodal. Vision–vestibular drills, targeted movement, cervical care, and acupuncture can modulate blood flow, immune activity, and attention networks. Lifestyle matters. Whole foods, clean water, toxin reduction, and sleep hygiene lower neuroinflammatory load and support recovery. Multiple concussions compound risk. Early “compensations” can fail after later hits, worsening symptoms and extending recovery timelines. Validation is therapeutic. Clear exams plus education help patients feel believed—and engaged—in their healing plan.

Tech & Therapy: How to Use AI, Apps, and Online Platforms Without Losing the Human Factor with Daniel Fleshner

In this Healthy Mind, Healthy Life episode, host Avik sits down with licensed professional counselor and AACCT-certified sex therapist Daniel Fleshner, founder of Inflection Point Therapy, to cut through the hype around mental-health tech. From AI chatbots and teletherapy to outcome tracking and ethics, Daniel explains where digital tools genuinely improve access and results—and where they fall short for complex trauma, grief, and deep relational healing. If you’re evaluating mental-health apps, online therapy platforms, or “AI therapy,” this conversation offers a direct, no-nonsense framework for safer, smarter decisions that actually support well-being. SEO: mental health technology, AI therapy, chatbots, teletherapy, therapy outcomes, data privacy, ethics, accessibility. About the guest : Daniel Fleshner is a licensed professional counselor, AACCT-certified sex therapist, and founder of Inflection Point Therapy. He works at the intersection of sex therapy, trauma-informed care, and health-system reform—advising startups, speaking for organizations, and advocating for ethical, evidence-informed use of technology in mental health. Key takeaways: Access vs. outcomes: Tech can widen access (e.g., teletherapy) and improve outcomes, but effect sizes in traditional therapy show clear room to grow—use tools that complement, not replace, therapy. Right tool, right job: Chatbots can aid decision-making and concrete problem-solving. For complex trauma, grief, and deep attachment work, prioritize a trained human therapist. Evaluate apps pragmatically: Look for transparent data privacy, risk management, clinical input, and honest claims about scope. Be wary of “one-stop AI therapist” marketing. Adjunct, not substitute: If you use an app, pair it with therapy and use it between sessions for journaling, skills practice, and accountability. Ethics matters: Intentions behind products matter. Some builders are profit-first; others are well-meaning but lack a clinical lens—both can miss safety and quality. Healthy expectations: Therapy isn’t a magic bullet or a sham. It’s a structured process that still requires hard work, realistic goals, and time. Ideal partnership: Put clinicians at the table (leadership, equity) to bridge therapy, business, and tech—then build tools that support real-world therapeutic work. Personal action: Define what you actually need (support, skills, human connection) before choosing any platform or app. How to connect with the guest Substack: The Disrupted Therapist Website: inflectionPointTherapy.com (contact form reaches Daniel directly) Want to be a guest on Healthy Mind, Healthy Life?

Healing Through Hugs: Boundaries, Belonging, and Self-Acceptance with Melinda Lee

On this episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik explores the practice of “healing through hugs” with author and coach Melinda Lee, whose memoir Rebel Hugger documents a year of offering consensual hugs to strangers—and the deeper truth she uncovered: the connection she gave others was the connection she hadn’t given herself. We discuss intention vs. habit, consent and boundaries, people-pleasing and depletion, and a simple self-hug practice to regulate the nervous system. Clear, grounded, and practical—this conversation reframes touch as an act of presence, not performance. About the Guest: Melinda Lee is the author of Rebel Hugger, a coach, and a certified Healing Touch for Animals practitioner. Her work centers on connection, consent, and embodied compassion. Key Takeaways: Consent first: Melinda always asked, “Can I give you a hug?”—a model for safe, respectful connection. Intention matters more than the act: a present, welcomed hug can be regulating; a habitual hug can be empty. People-pleasing depletes: giving from an “empty cup” invites burnout and dis-ease; self-nourishment is non-negotiable. Boundaries are loving: a hug can invite closeness and still honor where you end and the other begins. Rejection isn’t rupture: when someone says “no,” stay in relationship—eye contact, respect, and warmth still connect. The mirror effect: outward generosity can expose inner neglect; notice what you’re seeking from others and practice giving it to yourself. Micro-practice: hand on heart, a few slow breaths, feel energy “flow” around the body—20–30 seconds to reset. Safety lens: enter interactions believing most people are kind while staying grounded, aware, and boundaried.

Wholeness, Vision & Self-Return: Healing the Mind, Body & Eyes with Tara Wiskow, Mechelle Wingle & Dr. Roger Wu

In this powerful roundtable episode of Healthy Waves, host Avik Chakraborty dives deep into the interconnected layers of healing with three guests who are reshaping the wellness space in unique ways. Tara Wiskow shares her journey from emotional abandonment to reinvention and radical self-trust. Mechelle Wingle explains the transformative practice of “parts work” and how true healing begins with compassionate awareness of all aspects of self. Dr. Roger Wu brings a clinical lens, revealing the silent epidemic of screen-induced eye damage and the emerging science behind eye health in a digital age. This episode explores emotional resilience, the neuroscience of digital burnout, and how reclaiming our inner voice can lead to deep healing. About the Guests:Tara Wiskow is an intuitive healer and life reinvention expert who helps women stop self-abandoning and return to their authentic power.Mechelle Wingle is the founder of The Wholeness Network, blending therapeutic models with ancient wisdom to support inner transformation through parts work.Dr. Roger Wu is a leading optometrist and founder of The Eye Drink, a nutrition-based innovation designed to protect against digital eye strain and promote retinal health. Key Takeaways: Self-abandonment in women is often rooted in trauma and shows up as people-pleasing, perfectionism, and over-giving. “Parts work” or Internal Family Systems helps individuals integrate conflicting internal narratives through compassion, not correction. Excessive screen time is causing early-onset eye issues including dry eye, cataracts, and retinal damage, with mental health implications. True healing begins when we pause, listen to our emotions, and trust the guidance of our inner self. Nutrient support like lutein, zeaxanthin, and Omega-3s can actively protect vision in today’s device-heavy lifestyle.
