They get practical about early warning signals, inner guidance, and protecting yourself when you are vulnerable and healing. This episode is for anyone feeling drained, reactive, or stuck in high achieving mode while quietly running out of energy. You will leave with simple tools like dream reflection, breath releases, and a grounded framework for discernment in holistic spaces. About the Guest: Dr. Jonathan Locust Jr. is the founder of ConciRise. He has a PhD in theory and social foundations and has worked in psychometrics, behavioral analysis, and systems level human research.

In this episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Yusuf sits down with Stan Kurtz, founder of Quantum Research, to explore why so many people feel foggy, wired, inflamed, or stuck, even when they are trying to live “healthy.” This conversation is for anyone dealing with chronic stress, low energy, anxious loops, or persistent brain fog and wondering what else might be driving it. Stan shares how he uses microscopy, metabolic mapping, and pattern analysis to look for possible stressors like water-related contaminants, heavy metals, pesticide residues, and long-lasting medication remnants, plus why nervous system regulation can change how we think and respond fast. About the Guest: Stan Kurtz is the founder of Quantum Research. His work uses microscopy, metabolic mapping, and pattern analysis to study factors that may interfere with clarity and performance. His journey began after his son was diagnosed with autism. Key Takeaways: If your mind keeps looping on the past or future, ask what is driving fight-or-flight. Common “load factors” he looks for include heavy metals and pesticide residues. Water quality matters more than people think, so be intentional about what you drink. Regulation can shift your ability to problem-solve even when circumstances stay hard. Consider tracking patterns (sleep, stress, digestion, focus) before chasing quick fixes.
