SCP Podcast Mini Series, Episode 15: Dr. Perry Nickelston - Overwhelming The Nervous System Makes You Worse
00:21:10
It's very easy to overwhelm an already overwhelmed nervous system. Do too much therapy beyond the capacity for the nervous system to adapt and you hit healing plateaus or you get worse.
More isn't better, better is better. One of the biggest contributors to therapeutic failure is therapy overload. Therapeutic interventions are also stressors. This is one of the fundamental concepts that my patients need to understand to heal from chronic pain and auto-immune disease.
Is this happening to you?

SCP Podcast Episode 235: Clint Ober - Earthing
01:23:57
In this episode, we chat with Clint Ober, Earthing pioneer and author of Earthing: The Most Important Health Discovery Ever!
Clint grew up on a farm in Montana where daily life existed in balance with Mother Nature. His childhood days were spent chasing cows, baling hay, and walking the long rows of beets and beans pulling weeds while barefoot.
Of this time, Clint notes, “Everything was about the Earth.” Many of Clint’s friends were from the Native American reservation. He noticed that most things they did were different from what he was told was “normal.”
One time, his friend’s mother told him to remove his shoes when they got home from school. “They will make you sick,” she said.
Clint vividly remembers when the sister of his friend became very ill with a bad case of scarlet fever. Her grandfather dug a pit in the ground and placed her in it. He built a fire near the pit and sat nearby. The girl stayed there for a few days and then arose, much better.
Clint helped pioneer the first-ever cable modem and distribution through personal computers of news reports from news agencies around the world. He was closely involved in the early development of programming and marketing for the cable and telecommunications industries, working with the top visionaries who created Cable News Network (CNN), Home Box Office (HBO), and other major cable networks.
Clint was successful in every way possible, until 1993 when his health crumbled.
It was only later in life that Clint realized that everything his friends' parents did was based on a much greater knowledge of Nature than he was ever taught.
For more than 20 years, Clint has dedicated his life to improving the health of everyone on earth. In 1998 after a successful career grounding systems in the cable television industry, he began investigating the potential to improve human health with grounding.
Today, he is founder of Earth FX Inc., a grounding research and development company based in California through which he helped to develop, and patent, the first indoor Earthing products. His products are used by millions of people every day around the globe to improve their quality of life.
Highlights of this podcast include:
Movement of electrons is life

Inflammation cannot exist in a grounded body
Tooth health
Liver health
Static electricity
Shoes
Nature for healing
Grounding
Grounding and PMS
EMF

Robby and his wife began Therasage from their personal journey to help their daughter manage, and eventually overcome her symptoms from Chronic Lyme Disease. With all of the challenges of our current health care system, it is their vision that each of us takes our health needs into our own hands through the use of a positive, natural, healthful regimen. Using Infrared in applications of everyday use, each of us can make a positive statement toward better health.
Their vision was the dream of bringing unique healthy infrared healing energy to the public in easy-to-use and affordable, high-quality products. It is through these simple, household devices that we hoped to begin the process of bringing basic applications of Infrared energy into the home. We address the benefits of nature, through the Infrared spectrum, and negative ions, with our signature interface of natural earth elements. The use of natural gemstones like jade and tourmaline enhances the even distribution of deep penetrating infrared as well as generating an abundance of negative ions into the environment, thus bringing the positive forces of infrared heat, negative ions, and natural health to one’s body.
Since its founding, Therasage has become the gold standard for energy healing naturally healing infrared, negative ions, and eliminating EMFs (the harmful frequencies that electronic products generate.)

She had spiraled down into a depression because she had tried everything for her chronic pain and nothing worked.
Have you ever felt so hopeless and stuck you wanted to give up? Well, that was Amberly. Then one night she was lying in her hospital bed and her life flashed before her eyes.

Helping people activate their vitality and feel alive has been Tracy’s lifelong mission. Growing up in a missionary home cultivated her profound sense of compassion and her desire to educate on the simple foundations needed to look and feel our best.
By the time she was 15, Tracy had already begun her undergraduate education in medicine.
At 16, Tracy shadowed a missionary doctor working in an indigenous village in Guatemala, where she gained hands-on surgical and medical training. The time she spent there opened her eyes and enlarged her heart, to the need for holistic wellness education and foundations.
After her experience in Guatemala, Tracy decided to forgo a traditional allopathic medical career in favor of one that focused on regenerative care and education. When Tracy became a mother, her professional path took a personal turn. Her first child, Grace, was diagnosed with Hashimoto’s thyroid and alopecia universalis at the age of two.
Emboldened by her daughter’s struggle, Tracy began her journey into hydration education by pursuing a Ph.D. in the field of biogenetics as well as shadowing doctors from all around the globe to learn their different approaches to disease. It was through these experiences that Tracy became passionate about hydration as she learned the power hydration has to transform overall health and wellness in all people.
Today, Tracy works as a modern wellness advocate specializing in the restorative powers of intelligent hydration. She has parlayed her wealth of experience and knowledge into a multi-dimensional career in wellness advocacy and education, starting with her podcast, HYDRATE.

In this episode, we chat with Lauren Mones, owner and creator of Fermenting Fairy. A line of unique wild fermented foods. Healing foods.
Lauren was diagnosed with Crohn's Disease in 2014. At the time, she was what some people considered “Uber healthy”. She was racing triathlons. A normal workout day consisted of running, swimming and biking for up to 6 hours per day. She ate a mostly clean diet and had a great career as a nationally certified Occupational Therapist. Her personal relationships with family and friends were solid. But she began to show signs of terrible gut health. She was sick. Very sick.
When the post drug drowsiness wore-off, the physician whispered in her ear "this is a life-long disease with no cure. You will need to be heavily medicated for the rest of your life." She was then told to go home, take medication and eat anything she wanted, that food had nothing to do with the activity of the disease. Her physician encouraged her that she would be able to “live an average life with Crohns”.
But Lauren was not content with that. She didn’t know anything about Crohn’s at the time, but what she did know, was that food, in particular plants, had always had a healing effect on her. Never having been one to live an average life, that fueled her fire! She changed everything, eliminated inflammatory foods and added more foods that were closest to nature. She managed stress levels better with personal growth practices.
She began making sauerkraut, kefir, kimchi, kombucha. She started studying the microbiome in depth. Not only was her body healing with these foods but she developed absolute awe for the microbial world. A world that is teeming with life. A world of balance, symbiosis and chaos.
Fermenting Fairy was born from this place of trusting her own inner compass and a deep desire to share these living, fermented, medicinal foods with you.

SCP Podcast Episode 223: Jonathan Kipnis, PhD
00:28:24
In this episode, we chat with Jonathan Kipnis, Ph.D. - BJC Investigator. Jonathan Kipnis is a neuroscientist, immunologist, and professor of pathology and immunology at the Washington University School of Medicine. His lab studies interactions between the immune system and nervous system. He is best known for his lab's discovery of meningeal lymphatic vessels in humans and mice, which has impacted research on neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's disease and multiple sclerosis, neuropsychiatric disorders, such as anxiety, and neurodevelopmental disorders such as autism and Rett syndrome.
Kipnis is credited with the 2014 discovery of meningeal lymphatic vessels, a recently discovered network of conventional lymphatic vessels located parallel to the dural sinuses and meningeal arteries of the mammalian central nervous system (CNS). As a part of the lymphatic system, meningeal lymphatics are responsible for draining immune cells, small molecules, and excess fluid from the CNS and into the deep cervical lymph nodes.
While it was initially believed that both the brain and meninges were devoid of lymphatic vasculature, the landmark Nature paper by Jonathan Kipnis and his postdoctoral fellow Antoine Louveau was published in 2015. By 2016, this paper was cited nearly 200 times.
His discovery of meningeal lymphatic vessels was included in Scientific American's "Top 10 Science Stories of 2015", Science Magazine's "Breakthrough of the Year", Huffington Post's "Eight Fascinating Things We Learned About the Mind in 2015" and the National Institutes of Health's director Francis Collins year-end review.
Other research has included the 2015 discovery that the immune system directly affects social behavior and that IFN-gamma is necessary for social development. This expands upon his work as a graduate student when he discovered that mice lacking T-cells had cognitive impairments. (Biography reference - Wikipedia)
Highlights of this podcast include:
Menigineal immunity and functions
Functions of the glymphatics and meningeal lymphatics
Neuroimmune system
Meningeal lymphatics draining the CNS
Immune system affects on the brain
Pia, arachnoid, and dura mater

SCP Podcast Episode 215: Dr. Jaban Moore
01:08:19
In this episode, join us as we talk with Dr. Jaban Moore.
Dr. Moore’s passion for restoring health through a multi-therapeutic approach came from a young age when his mother was diagnosed with Diabetes after a 3-year struggle trying to figure out what was causing her health to decline. She was diagnosed only because she was in a car accident and in the ER she was told that she was diabetic. Her doctors noted that it was possibly missed for years. By this point she had gained 100 lbs, her cholesterol was out of control, she had ulcers in her stomach, depression, high blood pressure, and chronic fatigue. Growing up Dr. Moore watched his mother’s condition progress adding new medications and symptoms by the year never curing or making her feel better for long just stabilizing one symptom until the next started. This eventually lead to thyroid cancer and 2 surgeries to remove the cancer. Through this experience, Dr. Moore found his mission to discover the root cause of a condition so that the progression can be stopped so the next person doesn’t have to go through a story like hers.
During chiropractic school when his own health journey began he started to decline physically rapidly with no known cause at the age of 25. Over the next year, he searched for answers with many different doctors. He was experiencing, fatigue, joint pain, and low testosterone. After not finding many answers from several doctors he was at a conference of functional medicine doctors. It was there he met one who suggested the possibility of Lyme disease. After some testing and further investigation, Dr. Moore was found to be positive for Lyme. This began his journey of learning how to treat it. After consulting several doctors and trying many treatments Dr.Moore found relief and has been symptom-free for over 5 years now.
Dr. Moore’s professional and postdoctoral training includes True Cellular Healing, Chiropractic Plus Kinesiology, Applied Kinesiology, Clinical Kinesiology, Acupuncture, Bio-Resonance Therapy, Sacro-Occipital Technique (SOT), Nutrition, Rehabilitation, Functional Medicine and Blood Laboratory Analysis.
He has taken courses on Mastering Functional Blood Chemistry, Mastering Thyroid, Mastering Brain Chemistry, and has trained with several Lyme disease and parasitology experts.

World-renowned author and breathing practitioner Patrick McKeown was educated at Trinity College in Dublin, before completing his clinical training in the Buteyko Breathing Method at the Buteyko Clinic, Moscow, Russia. This training was accredited by Professor Konstantin Buteyko.
From a young age, Patrick suffered from asthma and relied on an array of medicines and inhalers until he discovered the Buteyko Method at the age of 26, experiencing immediate relief from his symptoms. By applying the principles of the Buteyko Method, Patrick remains asthma-free since then, a feat that over 20 years of medication had failed to accomplish.
In a career spanning 15 years, Patrick has since also become a bestselling author and expert on the topic of optimal breathing for improved health, well-being and fitness.
Among the eight books Patrick has written, two have consistently remained in the top ten best sellers on Amazon.com: ‘Close Your Mouth’ and ‘Asthma Free Naturally’.
His latest book ‘The Oxygen Advantage®’ is based on 4 years of scientific research and tailors breathing exercises for anyone seeking to improve their fitness and sports performance. Already in its 3rd print run in the UK since September 2015, ‘The Oxygen Advantage®’ is set to revolutionize how we train, by addressing dysfunctional breathing patterns and simulating high altitude training through specific breath-holding exercises as devised by Patrick.
Patrick’s message is simple: how you breathe at rest and during exercise will affect your overall performance. Learn to breathe correctly and see immediate results in your training.

Since childhood, Boyd shared his home with lions, leopards, snakes, and elephants and has spent his life in apprenticeship to the wisdom of nature. Boyd survived a harrowing black mamba encounter, a debilitating bout with malaria, even a vicious crocodile attack, but his biggest challenge was a personal crisis of purpose. As a university student, he studied psychology and ecology, supplementing his education by learning martial arts in Thailand, hiking through the jungles of the Amazon, and apprenticing to a renowned tracker from the Shangaan tribe deepening his intimate knowledge of the natural world. Boyd grew up speaking the local language and learning the true meaning of coexistence between people and with nature.
SCP Podcast Episode 240: Kute Blackson - The Magic of Surrender
01:01:28
In this episode, join us as we talk with Kute Blackson. A transformational teacher, speaker, visionary, guide and national best-selling author of You.Are.The.One. and The Magic of Surrender.
A beloved inspirational speaker and transformational teacher, Kute Blackson offers a fresh, bold look at spiritual awareness for a whole new generation. Born in Ghana, West Africa, Kute’s multicultural upbringing as the child of a Japanese mother and a Ghanaian father has spanned four different continents. His unique lineage lay the foundation for his approach to breaking down barriers and unlocking an individual’s true gifts and greatness.
Though Kute was raised all over the world, he had always dreamed of life in America. As if by kismet, he won a green card just after finishing school in London. He came to America alone just months later, with no connections or prospects. When Kute arrived in Los Angeles, all he had to his name were two suitcases and the dream of seeking out the spiritual and self-help icons who had inspired him when he was a boy.
Kute quickly learned that the “outside-in” approach favored by so many in the personal development space had to become an inside-out approach. So he decided to create his own method—a process that liberates the individual and the true self at the core and then pushes those gifts outward into the universe. This helps the individual get in touch with who they really are. It is a process of breaking free—so that the individual can live, give, and share the truest expression of their self. This is what Kute calls “Liberated Living.”

In this episode, we chat with Louis DiGiovine PT, who is a clinically talented orthopedic manual therapist with 41 years of experience. Lou graduated from the very first class at The University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey (UMDNJ) in June 1980 giving him the distinction of being one of the first eighteen physical therapists graduating in the State of New Jersey.
He continued that “pioneering” spirit when he took his first position as a staff therapist at the busy and reputable Christ Hospital in Jersey City, NJ. Working and training in an urban General Hospital provided him with a strong background in medical and surgical knowledge. In 1983 he became a co-founder of Hudson Heights Physical Therapy (one of the first few private practices owned by physical therapists in New Jersey). Through that organization, he performed contract-hospital work at St. Mary’s Hospital in Hoboken, Palisades General Hospital in North Bergen, Meadowlands Hospital in Secaucus, Essex County Geriatric Facility in Belleville, The Industrial Medicine Center in Secaucus, Union City Visiting Nurse Association, and Christ Hospital Homecare Agency for more than five years. During those early years, he attended many extensive training courses, workshops, seminars, in-services, study groups, and conferences throughout the country. Lou learned all of this extensive training to become the best physical therapist that he could be and provide his patients with the best care possible. Throughout his early professional years, his primary area of interest and goals was to become an orthopedic manual therapist with a specialty in spine care. In time, Lou became known as a “spine therapist” and as a result received many more referrals from spine care physicians, also helping him to accelerate his knowledge base in the treatment of spinal injuries, conditions, and surgeries.
It was through the discovery process of learning spine care and treating many patients that Lou became acutely aware of the relevance and close interrelationship of back and neck problems, TMJ dysfunction, headaches, upper quarter dysfunction, shoulder problems, posture and pain, orthotics, body mechanics, ergonomics and lifestyle management. All of which he has received specific training and education. He has lectured on these topics to study groups, in-services, seminars, physical therapy students, industrial work sites, corporations, athletic organizations, and varied community groups. Throughout the past twenty-nine years, Lou has participated in various treatment programs and clinics including sports medicine clinics, amputee clinics, prosthetics and orthotics clinics, arthritis clinics, work hardening, worksite ergonomic assessments, pre-employment screens, and pre-season athletic screenings.
In 1996 Lou founded Excellent Physical Therapy Back and Neck Care an orthopedic physical therapy private practice dedicated to the treatment of spine care. Within the practice, he developed and implemented administrative and treatment standards of care through policies, procedures, and protocols. The interweaving of professional knowledge and experience with tested business practices is what made Excellent Physical Therapy a very unique facility where dedication to excellence was evident.
Lou DiGiovine PT continued his training and education by establishing a working relationship with two recognized spine surgeons and performing rounds with the physicians and their patients six hours per week for eight years. This once-in-a-lifetime experience allowed him to gain an understanding of the complete spectrum of spine care treatment including medicine, pain control methods, epidural injections, spinal diagnostics, indications, and contraindications of spine surgery, types of surgeries alternative care, and spine surgery rehab. Lou is an active participating clinician of the New Jersey Spine Institute, North American Spine Society, and The American Physical Therapy Association. He is licensed by the New Jersey State Board of Physical Therapy. He has inspired others to follow his lead and with the addition of experienced and qualified staff over the years, he has expanded the scope of Excellent Physical Therapy to include all orthopedic musculoskeletal conditions including the treatment of knees, shoulders, fractures, joint replacement, pediatric and geriatrics.
(Since recording this interview, Lou's practice has been acquired by Jag-One Physical Therapy. Lou continues to practice here and is also the Clinical Director.)

SCP Podcast Episode 229: Gray Cook - The Business of Movement
01:22:49
In this episode, we chat with Gray Cook. Gray is a practicing physical therapist, a orthopedic certified specialist, a certified strength and conditioning specialist and an RKC kettlebell instructor. He is the founder of Functional Movement Systems, a company that promotes the concept of movement pattern screening and assessment. His work and ideas are at the forefront of fitness, conditioning, injury prevention, and rehabilitation. You’ll find him lecturing on these topics several weekends each month, worldwide. His career started with an undergraduate degree in sports medicine and exercise science, with minors in athletic training and psychology. His interest took him to the University of Miami, where he studied physical therapy and furthered his strength and conditioning development.
Gray has introduced a systems approach to understanding, training, and rehabilitating movement. He contends that we must map movement patterns and consider movement as a behavior, not simply as clean mechanical data. We must also develop a better understanding of how movement is learned, maintained, and restored. Gray’s work cuts to the core of problems like low back pain, obesity, and the general physical decline of modern culture. By revisiting the natural developmental principals that all infants employ as they learn to walk, run and climb, Gray forces us the rethink motor learning, corrective exercise, and modern conditioning practices.
In this episode, we chat with Max Casa, or the "Shamanic Sensei" as some know him. He is the President and Founder of Max Vitality. He is also a world-class, life-long martial artist, performance coach, and medicine man.
