    Dr. Todd Ovokaitys, BIO

    Dr. Todd Ovokaitys was first in his class in high school and won the coveted Bucky pioneer award. He was also at the top of his class at Northwestern University with the highest possible grade point average and after two years was one of 26 people accepted into an accelerated undergraduate and medical training program at Johns Hopkins University and Medical School. He then completed specialty training in Internal Medicine and subspecialty training in Pulmonary and Intensive Care Medicine at Georgetown University Hospital. He was assessed by a faculty committee as “the best of all the residents across the board.” He was inspired to move to California to understand energy medicine and shortly after the journey had a vision of communicating with the pure consciousness of DNA. This has resulted in co-inventing a laser based interdimensional platform which has numerous US and international patents granted in the areas of nutraceuticals, agriculture including cannabis, and especially stem cell biology.

    He also pursues and provides training in the area of psycho-emotional medicine, getting at the core root of any condition, physical or psychiatric, that can offer lasting relief. These discoveries have the potential to be a part of what may revolutionize and personalize the practice of medicine. He is also the composer and at times co-conductor or soloist of the Lemurian choirs that create patterns of tones and information that can accelerate the expansion of consciousness.

    Meet Dr. Brogan, and awakening to a healthier life. 

    – Illnesses can be seen as a special invitation to wake up.

    – Health is not about medications or no medications, it’s about answering the question your body is asking.

    – This book creates a roadmap on how to be yourself and awakening to true self

     


    What is it that psychiatry has missed, what is your big insight here?

    – We’re seeing more and more mental illnesses, even in our younger population.

    –  We are made to believe that by managing our symptoms with medications we are managing our reality.

    – Understand that you are emergent phenomena, connect to yourself and connect to the universe.

     


    What do you mean by an evolutionary mismatch?

    – People who are sick or have psychiatric illnesses have this perception that there is something wrong. 

    – Come to an understanding that the world around me has created a situation that I’m rebelling against.

     


    Taking a pill for the pain is a problem, not a solution?

    – Taking a pill for the pain is a problem, not a solution

    – In six decades no valid evidence that mental illness is a chemical imbalance.

    – Most of the time it is only symptom management, underlying issues are not being addressed.

    – We have a reverse engineer model where the medications we are taking to address the psychiatric issue, leads to the theory of the pathological diagnosis.

    – Evidence of efficacy and side effects of the medications are far broader than its benefits

     


    What have been your insights around pain, tears and emotional healing?

    – You must learn to be that first midwife for yourself, tell yourself this message “Just Let it hurt

    – Initiation is necessary for transformation into the adult conscious. We are always focused on product achievement and output.

    – Adversity, Deep grief, challenges have medicine in them, which provides strength for healing.

    -We can develop emotional mastery, and own ourselves, by making room for this kind of vulnerability (i.e feeling grief and other emotions)and authenticity.

     


    Why is fear the sickness?

    – We are all struggling with a torrent of fear all the time, be it financial issues, relationships or just within ourselves.

    – Our defensive mechanisms keep us from healing, emotional repression can lead to illnesses.

    – Learn to embrace your fear.

    – Watch these simple breathing and relaxing techniques and meditations to help relieve anxiety and fear.

     

    Check out PART 2 where Dr. Brogan shares her blueprint for healing.

  • Dr. Cynthia Li on her book “Brave New Medicine: A Doctor’s Unconventional Path to Healing Her Autoimmune Illness”

    Dr. Cynthia Li on her book “Brave New Medicine: A Doctor’s Unconventional Path to Healing Her Autoimmune Illness”

    Watch Video Interview

    Dr. Cynthia Li’s raw and emotionally charged interview takes us through her journey of an autoimmune crisis back to health. In our chat for the HealthierPodcast, she reveals the genesis of her book, best seller book “Brave New Medicine” as well as the depth of her personal health crisis and her deep insights that lead to her creating the protocols to heal herself.

    After being bedridden for six months and housebound for two years, Dr. Li experienced that sense of desperation that is often the spark for breakthrough action. It lead her to re-evaluate the foundation of health, as she was taught, and re-think how to bring back health. She shares what it took for her to reverse her severe symptoms of Hashimotos, Fibromyalgia and more. 

    Now she wants to help those with an autoimmune condition get back to greater health.

    Dr. Li is a trained medical internist who realized after her own health crisis how little she knew about health and disease. We learn about her story of developing Hashimoto’s disease, living with the conventional model, and finding how it allowed her to get to a place of desperation.

    Dr. Li discovered that conventional medicine defines “disease” in a particular way and she didn’t fit that definition. This definition seemed to dismiss her symptoms and diminish her experience because conventional training said she was fine.

    A pivotal trip to Beijing unintentionally led to an emergency room visit changed everything. Pregnant in a foreign country, suffering debilitating symptoms which ended up lasting for years.

    The difficult patient

    Anxious patients who have repeated visits yet normal labs are called “difficult patients”. Dr. Li talks about berating herself when she realized she was being a difficult patient. The realization we need to question the paradigm and broaden the definition of when patients don’t fit in the established paradigm.

    Dr. Li stresses that we must correlate individual test results with the context of the patient. In the 15-minute patient model, this is difficult to do. Pain, fatigue, and dizziness are some of the top symptoms so many come in with but no diagnosis. It is also important to note that doctors only have 4 hours of nutrition training that focussed on extreme states, and no tools to deal with such patient issues.

    I am going to lose my family? 

    Dr. Li has the realization that she had to start questioning the paradigm and think differently or she would lose everything. She went back to pathology results to assist in this. A huge revelation occurred to her: to live is a risk – constantly exposed to the elements that cumulative load will whittle us into a disease.

    In regard to her specific case, using Inflammation as a root driver, the realization that all these symptoms were signs of inflammation. So despite no conventional diagnosis, Dr. Li realized that her cells were not repairing.

    Journey into Functional medicine

    The root cause of all diseases break down into these five: 

    • allergens
    • Infections
    • poor diet 
    • stress
    • toxins

    Allostatic load 

    Allostatic load is the key- cumulative load of toxins based on the stage you are at. At a certain threshold, we will experience symptoms and at a higher threshold, we will get diagnosed.

    We discussed how we actually progress from healthy to symptoms to the disease and how to identify the factors and how to lower the threshold.  WATCH THE INTERVIEW ON “THE RAIN BARREL EFFECT BY DR. CABRAL” to learn more about the toxic overload threshold and how to reverse it.

    The critical importance of reducing hidden infections, allergens, root canals or other dental issues for reducing overload. Interesting, the biggest toxic overloads tend to be emotional, and those are very personal in nature.

    Part 1: Memoir

    Dr. Li discussed exactly what’s it like having a mystery condition while living out your life with your partner and your kids. How to manage your life with so much inner turmoil, as well as the crumbling of the medical paradigm that she was trained with.

    Part 2: Healing Journey

    Going into pathology, having the “a-ha moment” about inflammation, decision to fix the sleep cycle. Importance of addressing circadian rhythm for every organ changed everything.

    According to Dr. Li, part of the healing journey was “the realization that I must learn how to connect with myself. I started regulating my schedule to reduce stress overload. For example, skipping meals or eating all day and the stress that creates.”

    It is imperative to live a life in sync with the body’s cycle with the cycles of light and dark to reduce internal load. Learn how the body works as systems – both Chinese medicine and functional medicine have a role in this. It’s one body, not individual organs, living within a connected environment. We are so permeable to everything from parasites, to infections, to toxins if our barriers are not intact.

    Dr. Li needed to get her vertigo under control in order to continue the research. She tried acupuncture despite serious skepticism which lead to a realization of how much a waste of energy is skepticism can be. It is important to stay open-minded with low-risk/high return strategies.

    What healed her vertigo

    A combination of engaging a cranial osteopath, Qi Gong (or moving meditation practice), eliminating gluten, acupuncture and healing the gut all helped in the process of healing Dr. Li’s vertigo.

    She started noticing that various symptoms like frequent urination, fatigue, insomnia disappeared after beginning Qi Gong. It was rewiring her neurons and her gene expression from inflammatory to noninflammatory. She started doing Qi Gong about 45 minutes a day. Then later, Dr. Li had another health crisis which forced her to go deeper into almost 2 hours of Qi Gong a day. That’s when she had a radical remission.

    Identifying with the diagnosis or symptoms 

    In this section, Dr. Li explains the importance of breaking the identification with symptoms or disease. Something like testing re-inforces the message that we are sick; it’s an invisible factor in the allostatic load. On a personal note, writing helped her work through this.

    She says: See yourself as vibrant, healthy. Take away labels, story, your name and just be yourself.“I am bigger than my disease.” This mindset helps create a critical shift in awareness.

    A checklist for healing

    Dr. Li presented us with a list of recommendations including:

      1. How to get off the couch and heal by asking new questions, relate to yourself in a different way. Shift the questions to shift how your cells relate to you. What is my body trying to tell me? Be compassionate to yourself.
      2. Reset your inner clock by following a schedule and a rhythm for food, sleep, life. Your inner clock should be mimicking nature wherever possible.
    • Finding pleasure and playfulness
    • Giving yourself permission to receive. Your first duty should be to yourself. Take support. Leave the ego behind and learn to receive. 
    • A daily dose of nature
    • Detoxify the house: always turn on a ventilation fan if you have a gas stove. Flame retardants are very toxic, so vacuum well. 
    • Intuition tap into information that your rational mind won’t deliver. Healing happens with self-awareness

    How to deal with overwhelm with health information 

    Dr. Li shared with us what a friend taught her about intuition. We explored Heart Math Institute’s definition of intuition and the importance of developing an experiential sense of knowing. Learning to listen to your body is key.

    Read her book on how to develop intuition. Ask yes and no questions to develop a contemplative mind. We have two minds to see clearly, just like we have two eyes to see.

    Listen to the interview for all the other recommendations on her checklist. Buy the book “Brave New Medicine” to get deeper insights into how she healed her autoimmune after years of suffering, and how you can do it too.

    You can’t heal something that to which you are not attached with. Inhabit your body and your mind. Know your body.

    How do you release grief, maybe from childhood? Rituals and more that release the grief to create more space where joy can inhabit. You can’t get from despair to joy without the release.

    Dr. Marvin Singh, BIO

    Dr. Marv is the first physician in California to be Board Certified in Internal Medicine and Gastroenterology in addition to being a Diplomate of the American Board of Integrative Medicine. He is currently only one of two Integrative Gastroenterologists in the United States to carry all three of these endorsements!

    Dr. Marv knows how it is. A few years ago Dr. Marv was overweight, feeling tired, low on energy, and had metabolic syndrome. He was a caring doctor who did the best he could for his patients but knew that something was missing. He knew that there had to be something else to health since he himself seemed to be missing that key ingredient.

    After a lot of thought, he decided to enroll in the premier Integrative Medicine Fellowship through the Arizona Center for Integrative Medicine, founded by pioneer Dr. Andrew Weil. This was a life changing event.

    Dr. Marv became very passionate about wellness, health, longevity, and optimization of health. He began following an anti-inflammatory diet and begun implementing lifestyle changes into his own regular routine.

    In just three months, he lost 45 pounds! That was over three years ago and Dr. Marv is now a totally different person than he was before. He is ever more passionate about wellness and helping people lose weight, feel well, feel energetic again, and gain control over their lives!
