37. How Habitat Optimizing Plasma Exchange Could Change Future Brain Health w/ Dr. David Haase
Nov 25, 202401:01:50Tap to summarizeWhile cleaning up your closet can clear your mind, cleaning up your cellular habitat can change your life. This week, I'm joined by Dr. David Haase, who specializes in integrative holistic medicine and is the founder of the Maxwell Clinic in Tennessee. We sat down to discuss neurofeedback, diagnosing head injuries, and how plasma exchange (aka "an oil change" for cells) can help optimize your brain health and enhance your well-being in the long run.In this episode, you'll discover:The Science of Brain Injuries: "When the brain gets injured, the blood vessels get damaged… You no longer have the amount of vascular supply to the neurons," says Dr. Haase, adding that around 80% of people suffer from a "meaningful head injury." Fortunately, an isolated injury doesn't necessarily mean your entire brain is hurt.What Is Neurofeedback: "Neurofeedback is a way of retraining the brain to be more electrically efficient," says Dr. Haase. This brain training, which involves measuring the electricity coming off your scalp, shows how your brain reacts to certain stimuli. This feedback can help train the brain to adjust its learning pattern naturally, thus improving focus, mood, migraines, and seizures.Why Habitat-Optimizing Plasma Exchange Is a Game Changer: Dr. Haase is a pioneer of Habitat-Optimizing Plasma Exchange (HOPE), an intravenous treatment that cleans and replaces your plasma to improve your cellular habitat. "This process of 'oil change' for the blood decreases the rate at which Alzheimer's proceeds by over 60%," he says of the highly individualized method.05:46 The Role of Brain Function in Health15:44 Understanding Neurofeedback24:06 Diagnosing Brain Injuries and Their Impact28:25 The HOPE Program and Cellular Health30:23 Understanding Toxins and Nutrient Deficiencies 30:35 Aphoresis: The Oil Change for the Body32:12 Mechanism of Action: Optimizing the Habitat33:55 Clinical Applications and Success Stories36:16 Procedure Details and Safety Measures37:33 Plasma Exchange for Various Conditions50:39 Insurance and Cost ConsiderationsConnect with Dr. Myers:Website: https://www.amymyersmd.com/Newsletter: https://www.amymyersmd.com/ec/guide-to-leaky-gutFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/AmyMyersMDInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/amymyersmd/Connect with Dr. Haase:Website: https://maxwellclinic.com/Phone number of the Maxwell Clinic: (615) 3700091Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/maxwellclinic/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/maxwellclinicYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCQq0FWvHt95ItFuVvpfMvbALinkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/davidhaasemd/

Oct 28, 202400:57:39Tap to summarizeDid you know how you move and breathe is tied to your strength and longevity? This week, I'm joined by Aaron Alexander, a pioneering movement coach, author, and creator of The Align Method. We sat down to discuss the importance of proper breathing, functional movement, the best ways to align your body, and why everyone should "redevelop a relationship to the ground."In this episode, you'll discover:Why You Should Pay Attention to Your Breathing: Compared to breathing in through your mouth, breathing in through your nose reigns supreme. Doing the latter helps you take advantage of filtration, additional nitric oxide (allowing for oxygen to flow to vital organs), and humidification. "Your nose is preparing the air for your lungs and the rest of your body every time you breathe," says Alexander. "It's like passing through the processing plant."Spending Time on the Floor Has Its Health Benefits: Challenge yourself to sit on the floor for 30 minutes each day, whether that means watching TV on your living room floor or eating dinner at your coffee table. Why? This simple act benefits your mobility, setting you up for healthier aging in the long run, and your digestion.Everything in Life Is Fitness: Think outside the gym, shares The Align Method creator. "Fitness is not a thing that you do, but fitness is who you are as a person," he says, adding that using your visual, breathing, and postural muscles all count as fitness. "You're always in a place of training yourself," shares Alexander. "Every moment throughout your day is an opportunity to heal your body a little bit more."02:11 Aaron's Journey into Bodybuilding05:54 Understanding Functional Movement14:39 The Importance of Breathing18:23 Incorporating Ground Sitting27:11 Integrating Movement into Daily Life27:44 Setting Up a Movement-Friendly Home28:35 Lymphatic System and Movement30:07 Core Principles of the Aligned Method30:20 Fitness as a Lifestyle32:58 Mind-Body Connection36:35 Polyvagal Theory and Cooperative Play38:28 Getting Started with the Aligned Method40:51 Diet and Nutrition InsightsConnect with Dr. Myers:Website: https://www.amymyersmd.com/Newsletter: https://www.amymyersmd.com/ec/guide-to-leaky-gutFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/AmyMyersMDInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/amymyersmd/Connect with Aaron Alexander:Website: https://www.alignpodcast.com/Free trial of the Align Method: https://join.alignpodcast.com/products/align-method-program-join/YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@AlignPodcastAlign Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/align-podcast/id988576741Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/aaronalexander/
