In this episode of the Beautifully Broken Podcast, I sit down with Justin Ballard, founder of Rewriting the Narrative and one of the most grounded, science-savvy voices in the frequency medicine space. After facing his own spiral into mold illness and neurological dysfunction, including short-term memory loss and paralyzing brain fog, Justin turned his engineering mind toward healing the body’s bioelectric system.We unpack the deep connection between minerals, EMFs, intracellular communication, and the body's detox pathways. Justin shares how he uses tools like photobiomodulation, biofeedback, and energetic resonance to bring the body back online. He also walks us through case studies, from emotional trauma releases to restoring memory in real-time using his neurofrequency protocols.This conversation is equal parts science and soul, a fascinating look at how we can use physics, light, and intention to reclaim our health from the inside out. Episode Highlights[00:00] – Justin’s health crash: mold exposure, memory loss, and finding purpose[02:40] – How minerals influence frequency, detox, and cellular communication[06:29] – EMFs and modern illness: are we being electrically hijacked?[10:33] – The body's electrical grid: from the cell membrane to the mitochondria[13:12] – What is “frequency medicine” and how does it work in practice?[16:45] – How Justin built his system to measure and restore energetic balance[19:10] – Real stories: brain fog cleared, cognition restored, and trauma released[22:01] – Frequency vs chemistry: why bioelectric shifts often come first[25:50] – Mold toxicity, neuroinflammation, and protecting the nervous system[28:24] – The power of belief, environment, and the stories we hold in the body[32:18] – How to start: simple daily shifts to realign your energetic field[35:00] – Justin’s take on healing: It’s not just about doing more—it’s about doing it right Links & ResourcesThe Biological Blueprint Program: https://www.beautifullybroken.world/Beam Minerals: http://beamminerals.com/beautifullybroken— Code: BEAUTIFULLYBROKENSilver Biotics: bit.ly/3JnxyDD— 30% off with Code: BEAUTIFULLYBROKENLightPathLED: https://lightpathled.pxf.io/c/3438432/2059835/25794— Code: beautifullybrokenLearn more about Justin Ballard: https://justhopehealingcenter.com/ CONNECT WITH FREDDIEWork with Me: https://www.beautifullybroken.world/biological-blueprintWebsite and Store: (http://www.beautifullybroken.world)  Instagram: (https://www.instagram.com/beautifullybroken.world/)  YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@freddiekimmel Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Welcome to a brand new year on the Beautifully Broken Podcast. In this solo episode, I’m reflecting on what mattered most in 2025 and what I’m bringing into 2026 with intention and clarity. I talk about the frustrations I’ve felt with the wellness world’s obsession with quick-fix marketing, and how that led me back to the basics: digestion, cellular health, nervous system regulation, and real human connection.You’ll hear the most impactful changes I made, like dialing back my supplements, leaning into bioavailable fats, ditching Amazon for Fullscript, and embracing "the year of the gases" with nanobubbled oxygen and Brown's gas. I share how I built a community around healing, hosted my first wellness event, and finally brought the Biological Blueprint Academy to life. This is a behind-the-scenes look at the principles that grounded me and the practices that restored me. And yes, it’s all rooted in love, curiosity, and cellular integrity.  Episode Highlights[00:00] – Kicking off 2026 and calling out the marketing noise in the wellness world[02:00] – Simplifying supplements: how lab work shaped a leaner, smarter stack[03:50] – Fullscript vs Amazon: why sourcing and quality control matter[05:30] – Mago7, digestion, and the real-life wins that come from getting “regular”[06:45] – The year of gases: hydrogen, Brown’s gas, oxygen baths, and what really helped my sleep[10:12] – Building therapies into daily life without stealing time[12:35] – CO₂ tolerance and breathing into cognitive clarity[14:00] – Beam Minerals and foundational mineral support[15:25] – Living the work: grounding, breathwork, cold exposure, red light, and temperature as medicine[17:51] – Genetics, mold sensitivity, and why foundational awareness is so powerful[20:14] – South Austin Wellness Project: hosting my first healing community event[22:36] – Access, advocacy, and why sharing healing tools is a mission, not a market[24:55] – New website, Substack migration, and podcast episode mini-pages[26:00] – A manifesto for 2026: depth over drip, principles over protocols[27:11] – The podcast as discovery: why this journey means everything to me Links & ResourcesSilver Biotics: bit.ly/3JnxyDD— 30% off with Code: BEAUTIFULLYBROKENCatchBio https://www.catchbio.com/beautifullybroken— Code: beautifullybrokenStemRegn: https://www.stemregen.co/products/release?_ef_transaction_id=&affid=52&oid=1Beam Minerals: http://beamminerals.com/beautifullybroken— Code: BEAUTIFULLYBROKEN CONNECT WITH FREDDIEWork with Me: https://www.beautifullybroken.world/biological-blueprintWebsite and Store: (http://www.beautifullybroken.world)  Instagram: (https://www.instagram.com/beautifullybroken.world/)  YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@freddiekimmel Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

In this powerful conversation, I’m joined by Dr. Chad Zawitz, a physician who spent over two decades delivering frontline medical care inside one of the largest urban jail systems in the country. Dr. Zawitz pulls back the curtain on carceral healthcare, explaining the critical differences between jail and prison, the constitutional right to medical care for incarcerated individuals, and why many patients actually experience better measurable health outcomes while locked up.We spend significant time unpacking the evolution of HIV treatment, from the early days of fear and stigma to today’s extraordinary advances, including long-acting injectable antivirals and the game-changing reality that people with undetectable viral loads cannot transmit HIV. Dr. Zawitz explains why, with proper access and adherence, HIV could be effectively eliminated within a single generation, without a cure or vaccine.This episode also explores stigma, language, trauma, addiction, and the power of treating people like human beings. From stories inside the jail to reflections on COVID, public health messaging, and medical ethics, this conversation is a reminder that healing doesn’t begin with protocols, it begins with compassion. Episode Highlights[00:00] – Why HIV could be eliminated in one generation with the tools we already have[03:15] – Dr. Zawitz’s path into correctional healthcare and why it matters[05:40] – Jail vs. prison: understanding the difference and why it impacts care[10:30] – The constitutional right to healthcare for incarcerated individuals[14:50] – How HIV care is delivered behind bars[18:30] – The evolution of HIV treatment: from AZT to modern long-acting injectables[22:55] – U = U explained: undetectable equals untransmittable[26:30] – The role of stigma, language, and bias in healthcare outcomes[35:55] – Treating patients as people: why simple kindness changes everything[43:00] – Why health markers often improve during incarceration[48:40] – COVID in jails: fear, access, vaccines, and media narratives[55:35] – “Tales from the jail”: surprising clinical lessons from real life[01:08:50] – Public health, vaccines, and the cost of polarization[01:17:45] – Lessons from Dallas Buyers Club and early HIV innovation Links & ResourcesSilver Biotics: bit.ly/3JnxyDD— 30% off with Code: BEAUTIFULLYBROKENLightPathLED: https://lightpathled.pxf.io/c/3438432/2059835/25794— Code: beautifullybrokenCathcBio https://www.catchbio.com/beautifullybroken— Code: beautifullybrokenStemRegn: https://www.stemregen.co/products/release?_ef_transaction_id=&affid=52&oid=1Beam Minerals: http://beamminerals.com/beautifullybroken— Code: BEAUTIFULLYBROKEN  CONNECT WITH FREDDIEWork with Me: https://www.beautifullybroken.world/biological-blueprintWebsite and Store: (http://www.beautifullybroken.world)  Instagram: (https://www.instagram.com/beautifullybroken.world/)  YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@freddiekimmel Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Welcome back to Beautifully Broken, where healing meets high performance. Today’s conversation is with Kim and Holly from CFT Global, the leaders carrying forward Craniosacral Fascial Therapy, a modality that blends craniosacral therapy, myofascial release, and oral-structural work into one unified system.We explore why fascia is not just connective tissue, but an intelligent communication network that holds tension, trauma, and adaptation patterns. From infants struggling after birth, to adults with migraines, brain fog, concussions, and chronic stress, CFT works by restoring movement—movement of the cranial bones, movement of cerebrospinal fluid, and movement of the nervous system back toward safety.What struck me most is this: CFT doesn’t force the body to heal. It listens. By following the body’s innate wisdom, the nervous system shifts into parasympathetic regulation, allowing digestion, detoxification, emotional processing, and cognition to improve naturally. This episode is a deep dive into why healing is not about doing more, but about creating the conditions where the body can finally do what it already knows how to do.Episode Highlights[00:00] – Craniosynostosis, infant skulls, and why cranial plates must move for brain growth[02:16] – What Craniosacral Fascial Therapy actually is (and how it’s different from CST)[04:11] – Cognitive clarity, emotional shifts, and whole-body effects of fascial release[06:34] – The origins of CFT: osteopathy, myofascial release, and oral structures[08:29] – Why head pressure persists even when labs “look normal”[10:12] – Tongue ties, airway dysfunction, and the overlooked craniodental system[13:29] – Weston Price, epigenetics, and how modern environments reshape facial structure[17:27] – Why releasing a tongue tie without bodywork can create new problems[23:10] – Are cranial bones really fused? Debunking a long-held medical myth[25:48] – Understanding the “brain cycle” and what zero brain motion means[31:23] – Vagus nerve regulation and parasympathetic healing through CFT[39:41] – Fascia as an organ system and what dissection reveals about the body[41:36] – Adhesions, scars, and how gentle work restores visceral movement[47:26] – Concussions, CTE, and why unresolved cranial strain matters long-term[50:57] – Why CFT is still unknown—and why that’s starting to change[01:01:36] – Emotional releases, stored trauma, and the body’s ability to unwind[01:04:34] – What infants teach us about nervous system regulation (no placebo required)Links & ResourcesCFT Global Website & Trainings: https://craniosacralfascialtherapy.comKim and Holly’s  Instagram: @cftgillespieapproachBeam Minerals: http://beamminerals.com/beautifullybroken— Code: BEAUTIFULLYBROKENSilver Biotics: bit.ly/3JnxyDD— 30% off with Code: BEAUTIFULLYBROKENLightPathLED: https://lightpathled.pxf.io/c/3438432/2059835/25794— Code: beautifullybrokenCathcBio https://www.catchbio.com/beautifullybroken— Code: beautifullybrokenStemRegn: https://www.stemregen.co/products/release?_ef_transaction_id=&affid=52&oid=1— Code: beautifullybroken   CONNECT WITH FREDDIEWork with Me: https://www.beautifullybroken.world/biological-blueprintWebsite and Store: (http://www.beautifullybroken.world)  Instagram: (https://www.instagram.com/beautifullybroken.world/)  YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@freddiekimmel Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Welcome back to Beautifully Broken, where healing meets high performance. Today I’m joined by my friend and returning guest George Wiseman, who last appeared in Episode 141 sharing his extraordinary origin story. This time, we take a more advanced dive into hydrogen medicine—specifically the differences between molecular hydrogen (H₂) and Brown’s Gas, a unique blend containing hydrogen, oxygen, water vapor, and an electron-rich plasma known as EEW (electronically expanded water).George breaks down how Brown’s Gas delivers not only molecular hydrogen but also bioavailable electrons—fuel your body uses to stop oxidative cascades, rebuild tissue, and restore cellular communication. We talk about why H₂ alone doesn’t always create a perceptible effect, why Brown’s Gas often does, and how these modalities play distinct roles in the ecosystem of healing tools. He shares incredible user stories—from carpal tunnel relief in minutes to a young woman who beat metastasized cancer using Brown’s Gas as part of an integrative healing plan.We also explore the new micro-bubbler attachment that infuses bathwater with micro- and nano-bubbles, dramatically increasing gas absorption and accelerating skin repair. Then George reveals the next frontier: a forthcoming AquaCure add-on that allows users to make their own deuterium-depleted water, a therapy shown to support mitochondrial function and metabolic repair.This conversation is equal parts science, innovation, and lived experience—another perspective-shifting journey with one of the most generous inventors in wellness tech. Episode Highlights [00:00] – Hydrogen research overview: inflammation, oxidative stress, and why H₂ is having a moment[02:22] – The AquaCure’s unheard-of one-year money-back guarantee[03:38] – Welcoming George back + reflections on the “Beautifully Broken” ethos[05:26] – No device is a panacea: hydrogen as one tool in a larger healing ecosystem[07:53] – A remarkable cancer remission case and how Brown’s Gas supported the process[09:16] – Why hydrogen helps nearly every condition studied (and why side effects are positive)[10:27] – What is Brown’s Gas? The six constituent gases and how they’re formed[11:56] – Discovery of electrically expanded water (EEW): a third gas with unique properties[14:22] – The role of electrons: inflammation reduction, oxidative damage repair, and immune support[16:47] – Brown’s Gas during the pandemic: oxygenation, cytokine storms & rapid recovery[19:14] – Why you must stay below a 2% inhalation threshold for safety[21:40] – Hydrogen’s role in regeneration: scars, immune restoration, and organ repair[24:08] – External applications: bags, gloves, spot treatments, and rapid nerve relief[26:10] – Hydrogen vs. methane: how microbiome differences shape individual outcomes[28:27] – Why Brown’s Gas feels different than H₂—tingles, energy, and nerve activation[30:32] – EZ water (Pollack): how Brown’s Gas increases structured water up to 300%[34:42] – Solving medical mysteries: capillary flow, blood pressure, and nutrient transport[39:12] – The problem with “flagged words” in health conversations (structured water, silver, etc.)[45:17] – Dreaming of an NFL-wide recovery experiment (Buffalo Bills, call us!)[47:13] – The new micro-bubbler: micro/nano bubbles, skin repair, and whole-body absorption[52:24] – Scar regeneration, tingling, and my own early bathtub experiment[53:18] – Comparing Brown’s Gas to oxygen, CO₂, and other recovery tools[55:44] – Why hydrogen research has shifted to PEM systems—and their limitations[59:42] – Worldwide accessibility: yes, AquaCure ships to New Zealand (and everywhere else)[01:01:47] – Upcoming release: AquaCure’s deuterium-depleted water system[01:04:08] – Why DDW matters for metabolism and mitochondrial repair[01:05:28] – Holiday discount: 25% off until December 15, 2025 + upcoming price increase[01:06:51] – Closing gratitude and reminder to support the showGet the AquaCureGeorge Wiseman’s AquaCure: https://eagle-research.com/product/ac50-v2/— Code: BEAUTIFULLYBROKENLinks & ResourcesThe Biological Blueprint Program: https://www.beautifullybroken.world/Beam Minerals: http://beamminerals.com/beautifullybroken— Code: BEAUTIFULLYBROKENSilver Biotics: bit.ly/3JnxyDD— 30% off with Code: BEAUTIFULLYBROKENLightPathLED: https://lightpathled.pxf.io/c/3438432/2059835/25794— Code: beautifullybrokenCathcBio https://www.catchbio.com/beautifullybroken— Code: beautifullybrokenStemRegn: https://www.stemregen.co/products/release?_ef_transaction_id=&affid=52&oid=1— Code: beautifullybroken     CONNECT WITH FREDDIEWork with Me: https://www.beautifullybroken.world/biological-blueprintWebsite and Store: (http://www.beautifullybroken.world)  Instagram: (https://www.instagram.com/beautifullybroken.world/)  YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@freddiekimmel Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Welcome back to Beautifully Broken, where healing meets high performance. Today, I’m exploring a truth that’s changed everything for me and my clients: we are not broken machines; we are adaptive, conscious beings in dynamic systems of repair.After years of sitting with people navigating complex chronic illness, I’ve realized that our biology is not just chemical, it’s also energetic and informational. Our nervous systems are constantly scanning for safety, and when symptoms arise, they often become the story our brains use to make sense of chaos: “It’s my mold,” “It’s my MTHFR gene,” “It’s my hormones.” These narratives can help us, but they can also trap us.The healing work lies in the yes, and… validating the diagnosis, while remembering we have levers of influence: breath, movement, light, connection, thought, and time in nature. Pattern interrupts, tiny shifts in our inner dialogue and sensory experience, can retrain our physiology, lower inflammation, and awaken resilience. Healing, ultimately, is the art of creating new internal conditions where health can return naturally.This episode is a reminder that you are not a malfunctioning machine, you are a masterpiece in process. Episode Highlights[00:00] – The nervous system as storyteller: how our brains create meaning from illness[01:24] – “I am broken because…”: how health narratives form and when they hold us back[02:47] – Why healing must include biology, energy, and information—not just chemistry[04:15] – The power of breath, cold, heat, light, and thought to change physiology[05:11] – Nature therapy: the most accessible medicine on Earth (and it’s free)[06:40] – How fear-based stories become cages and the ego resists the real work[07:32] – Limbic system retraining: the ROI of rewiring your stress response[08:55] – The bridge of true healing: biology meets consciousness[09:45] – Healing isn’t fixing; it’s changing the conditions for adaptation[10:01] – A closing love letter to your body and its innate intelligenceLinks & ResourcesThe Biological Blueprint Program: https://www.beautifullybroken.world/ Beam Minerals: http://beamminerals.com/beautifullybroken— Code: BEAUTIFULLYBROKEN Silver Biotics: bit.ly/3JnxyDD— 30% off with Code: BEAUTIFULLYBROKEN LightPathLED: https://lightpathled.pxf.io/c/3438432/2059835/25794— Code: beautifullybroken CatchBio: https://catchbio.com — Code: BEAUTIFULLYBROKEN  CONNECT WITH FREDDIEWork with Me: https://www.beautifullybroken.world/biological-blueprintWebsite and Store: (http://www.beautifullybroken.world)  Instagram: (https://www.instagram.com/beautifullybroken.world/)  YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@freddiekimmel Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Welcome back to Beautifully Broken, where healing meets high performance. Today’s guest, John Golden, is a walking miracle—and a man who’s defied odds most of us can’t even imagine. After coding on an ER table from a full arterial blockage known as a “widowmaker,” John was revived and left with a second chance at life. We talk about the raw emotion of facing death, how gratitude becomes your default operating system afterward, and why community, family, and reflection matter more than anything else.John shares his journey from college football linebacker to multiple knee surgeries, a human bone transplant, and ultimately, summiting Mount Everest. Through that journey, he learned how the body compensates, adapts, and rebuilds—and how the same principles apply to the brain. Now as CEO of Vital Neuro, he’s leading a new era in personalized neurofeedback—where real-time EEG and neuro-responsive music help calm the nervous system, restore focus, and reduce overwhelm.Together, we unpack the neuroscience of balance, the volume of modern life, and the small daily practices that bring peace and performance back online. This one’s about more than surviving—it’s about learning how to be vital. Episode Highlights [00:00] – “I died last week”: John’s Widowmaker heart attack and the miracle of modern medicine[05:50] – Facing mortality: emotional recovery and gratitude for a second chance[09:40] – Lessons from near-death: family connection, presence, and living intentionally[15:22] – John’s football career, catastrophic knee injuries, and the first-ever leg tissue transplant[20:50] – Relearning how to move: compensatory patterns, 20 surgeries, and climbing Mount Everest[24:08] – From EXOS to Vital Neuro: merging neuroscience, music, and mental health[29:10] – How Vital Neuro reads your EEG and tunes music to your personal brain frequency[35:45] – The “volume” analogy: why our brains can’t think clearly when overstimulated[41:26] – Cold plunges, fly fishing, and the daily rituals that bring us back to zero[47:15] – Tiny habits and behavior change: building resilience through practice[51:40] – The next evolution of wellness tech: oxygen baths, vibration therapy, and data synergy[57:00] – Setting realistic goals and finding community support for lasting change[1:11:30] – “Be vital”: John’s message of compassion, control, and collaborationUpgrade Your Wellness:Get the Vital Neuro headset: https://vitalneuro.com/BEAUTIFULLYBROKENCode BEAUTIFULLYBROKENWork with me:https://www.beautifullybroken.world/biological-blueprintSilver Biotics: bit.ly/3JnxyDD— 30% off with Code: BEAUTIFULLYBROKENGet Redlight Therapy: https://lightpathled.pxf.io/c/3438432/2059835/25794— Code: beautifullybrokenCatchBio: https://catchbio.com — Code: BEAUTIFULLYBROKEN  CONNECT WITH FREDDIEWork with Me: https://www.beautifullybroken.world/biological-blueprintWebsite and Store: (http://www.beautifullybroken.world)  Instagram: (https://www.instagram.com/beautifullybroken.world/)  YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@freddiekimmel Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Welcome back to Beautifully Broken, where healing meets high performance. Today, I’m joined by the luminous Dr. Shivani Gupta, founder of Fusionary Formulas and author of The Inflammation Code. Shivani’s story begins with a home full of mold, hair loss, and a reminder that even the healthiest among us can get blindsided by hidden toxins. What followed was a journey of deep functional medicine testing, emotional regulation, and fierce self-advocacy—proof that healing is never linear.We talk about the real root of “inflamma-aging,” why brain fog and fatigue are not normal, and how inflammation is at the center of most chronic disease. Shivani breaks down the six Ayurvedic pillars of anti-inflammatory living, the importance of circadian alignment (especially the 10–2 window), and why tea time is more than self-care—it’s medicine.From tongue scraping and turmeric to sleep hygiene and self-awareness, this episode is full of accessible practices that bring ancient rituals into modern life. Whether you’re battling burnout, navigating hormonal chaos, or simply ready to feel more alive, Shivani’s wisdom will help you rewrite your own inflammation code. Episode Highlights[00:00] – Living with mold: the surprise diagnosis that changed everything[03:30] – Mold dogs, remediation, and the truth about “healthy homes”[06:40] – Why no supplement can fix a toxic environment[09:10] – Genetic resilience, functional testing, and understanding bio-individuality[13:05] – Hair loss as a metabolic signal and the timeline of toxic exposure[17:00] – Fear, mindset, and emotional regulation during mold recovery[18:52] – The Inflammation Code: aging, Ayurveda, and winning at inflammation[22:45] – Cycles, seasons, and building your Ayurvedic circadian rhythm[26:19] – Mental inflammation: the hidden driver of burnout and disease[30:40] – Building an anti-inflammatory lifestyle from the ground up[36:57] – Why doctors stay in their lanes—and why you must self-advocate[39:22] – Pitta, Kapha, and using fire time for healing and repair[45:24] – Ayurvedic sleep rituals and the power of forgiveness in wellness[47:21] – Tea time is me time: micro-moments of self-care that change your biology[53:37] – The 12 daily rituals for detox, digestion, and emotional balance[55:15] – Tongue scraping, turmeric, and the simple tools that actually work[58:56] – How to cycle supplements, build awareness, and measure results[1:01:26] – The spreadsheet of supplements: data meets intuition[1:03:02] – Big love, big lessons, and the path to sustainable healingConnect With Dr. ShivaniDr. Shivani Gupta: https://drshivani.comThe Inflammation Code (Preorder): https://theinflammationcode.comGet Your UpgradeVisionary Formulas: https://fusionaryformulas.com/?sca_ref=9671297.FAK6ESUdt3R9--- Code: BEAUTIFULLYBROKENThe Biological Blueprint Program: https://www.beautifullybroken.world/Beam Minerals: http://beamminerals.com/beautifullybroken— Code: BEAUTIFULLYBROKENSilver Biotics: bit.ly/3JnxyDD— 30% off with Code: BEAUTIFULLYBROKENLightPathLED: https://lightpathled.pxf.io/c/3438432/2059835/25794— Code: beautifullybrokenCatchBio: https://www.catchbio.com/beautifullybroken — Code: BEAUTIFULLYBROKEN   CONNECT WITH FREDDIEWork with Me: https://www.beautifullybroken.world/biological-blueprintWebsite and Store: (http://www.beautifullybroken.world)  Instagram: (https://www.instagram.com/beautifullybroken.world/)  YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@freddiekimmel Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

When her husband John was diagnosed with Parkinson’s, Martha refused to accept the standard “there’s nothing you can do.” Instead, she built a team of microbiologists, chemists, and researchers and founded The BioCollective, one of the first large-scale stool banks for Parkinson’s research.In this conversation, Martha shares what she discovered about the gut-brain connection, from the role of calcium and endotoxins to the emotional trauma that so often precedes disease. We talk about the origins of BiotiQuest, the company born from her desire to create living microbial systems that restore balance to the gut. Her formulations—like Sugar Shift, Perfect Peace, and the Total Gut Reset—don’t just add bacteria; they build microbial teams that communicate, heal, and support human resilience.Martha also opens up about losing her husband in 2024 and what she’s learned about the lasting impact of environmental toxins, cleaning products, and emotional repression on our biology. It’s a conversation that redefines what healing means—and reminds us that science, love, and purpose can coexist beautifully. Episode Highlights[00:00] – How Martha earned the title “Poop Queen” and why studying fecal samples changed everything[02:33] – The Parkinson’s journey that started it all: from diagnosis to data-driven discovery[04:59] – Building a poop bank: designing the patented BioCollector and pioneering stool-based research[06:54] – What Parkinson’s stool looks like—and what it reveals about the disease[10:55] – Environmental toxins, pesticides, and mercury exposure: mapping the chemical burden[13:20] – The emotional triggers behind Parkinson’s and why grief, fear, and loss matter[18:34] – Giant viruses, latent infections, and hidden pathogens in the microbiome[22:04] – The role of endotoxin in neurodegeneration and the link to chronic inflammation[32:18] – How diet, sugar, and soy influence symptoms—and the microbiome shifts that heal[34:43] – Creating Sugar Shift: a probiotic that turns sugar into healing fuel[37:05] – Pivoting during COVID: launching BiotiQuest and building living microbial systems[41:24] – The dangers of cleaning products and surfactants that damage cellular membranes[47:00] – Emotional release, spiritual connection, and the Healing ALS framework[51:49] – How Perfect Peace and Sugar Shift help calm the body and restore the gut ecosystem[56:35] – The Total Gut Reset: Martha’s full protocol for restoring gut resilience[58:36] – Honoring John’s legacy and the lessons learned through love, science, and loss Links & ResourcesBiotiQuest: https://biotiquest.com/Follow BiotiQuest on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/biotiquest/The Biological Blueprint Program: https://www.beautifullybroken.world/Beam Minerals: http://beamminerals.com/beautifullybroken— Code: BEAUTIFULLYBROKENSilver Biotics: bit.ly/3JnxyDD— 30% off with Code: BEAUTIFULLYBROKENLightPathLED: https://lightpathled.pxf.io/c/3438432/2059835/25794— Code: beautifullybrokenCatchBio: https://catchbio.com — Code: BEAUTIFULLYBROKEN CONNECT WITH FREDDIEWork with Me: https://www.beautifullybroken.world/biological-blueprintWebsite and Store: (http://www.beautifullybroken.world)  Instagram: (https://www.instagram.com/beautifullybroken.world/)  YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@freddiekimmel Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Welcome back to Beautifully Broken, where healing meets high performance. In this reflective episode, I explore the concept of bio-individuality—how each of us carries a unique blueprint of DNA that unfolds into a living, breathing expression of life. I share personal stories of illness, healing, and loss that illuminate the incredible polarity of the human experience: how some of us are biologically resilient, while others are profoundly sensitive to the same environmental triggers.We’ll look at the scientific and spiritual sides of this truth—from how genetic mutations shaped survival during the Black Death and malaria epidemics, to the modern emotional weight of watching friends fall ill far too young. I unpack what it means to live with awareness of your blueprint without fear of it—to recognize that while nature may be impartial, the choices we make each day can color our genetic expression.This episode is both a meditation on grief and a celebration of life’s exquisite design. It’s an invitation to move through the world with kindness, curiosity, and reverence for your own human blueprint. Episode Highlights [00:00] – Opening reflection: our DNA as a living blueprint, shaped but not ruled by environment[01:12] – Defining bio-individuality and why some people seem “immune” to illness[03:35] – Honoring grief: remembering friends lost to illness and the fragility of life[05:50] – Personal reflection on cancer, Lyme, and surviving 100% of hard days[08:12] – The science of resilience: HIV resistance, the CR5 mutation, and evolutionary advantage[09:50] – The double edge of genetics: how the sickle cell trait both protects and harms[10:36] – Why our genetic diversity ensures the survival of humanity[12:48] – The power of choice, compassion, and connection in shaping our gene expression[13:44] – Closing reminder: the same individuality that causes suffering also enables miracles Links & Resources Biological Blueprint Program (Freddie’s custom coaching): https://www.beautifullybroken.world/biological-blueprintBeam Minerals: https://beamminerals.com/beautifullybroken — Code: BEAUTIFULLYBROKENSilver Biotics: https://bit.ly/3JnxyDD — Code: BEAUTIFULLYBROKENLightPathLED: https://lightpathled.pxf.io/c/3438432/2059835/25794 — Code: beautifullybroken CONNECT WITH FREDDIEWork with Me: https://www.beautifullybroken.world/biological-blueprintWebsite and Store: (http://www.beautifullybroken.world)  Instagram: (https://www.instagram.com/beautifullybroken.world/)  YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@freddiekimmel Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Welcome back to Beautifully Broken, where healing meets high performance. In this episode, I sit down with Dean Hall—an inspiring adventurer whose story blends tragedy, survival, and extraordinary feats. Dean’s life was upended by the sudden loss of his wife and a severe cancer diagnosis. Instead of surrendering, he swam the entire 187‑mile length of Oregon’s Willamette River, while living with active cancer. That grueling, frigid journey led to a radical remission—one medicine declared impossible.Dean then turned to forest bathing—walking and sleeping under ancient trees—to heal physically and emotionally. Through intentionally connecting with nature, including ice‑bath practice, he not only restored his body but resurrected his spirit. His path reframes traditional psychology around "BioWild," a nature‑rooted approach emphasizing flow, recharge, and giving from abundance. It’s a story of resilience, purpose, and honoring your body’s intelligence. Tune in for lessons on mindset, radical ownership of your health, and how to find healing in wild places.Episode Highlights[00:00] - Dean’s life-changing swim and the shocking moment his leukemia seemingly vanished[02:16] - Holding two world records and the physical toll of cold, open water endurance swims[05:14] - The technique behind “total immersion” swimming and the deeper mindset required[10:23] - Losing his wife to a brain tumor and the raw truth about navigating profound grief[22:08] - Moving back to Oregon, rediscovering purpose, and a sixth-grade journal that sparked the dream[30:45] - Rebuilding from rock bottom—Dean’s first swim back and the power of momentum[36:10] - The unexpected hero: Dean’s 79-year-old dad joins him for the 187-mile river journey[51:26] - Radical remission: the first blood test results that stunned Dean’s oncologist[58:08] - Healing in the forest: how nature, solitude, and emotion unlocked true recovery[1:08:13] - Introducing “BioWild Psychology”—Dean’s nature-based model for lasting mental and emotional health[1:15:10] - A message for anyone facing illness: reclaim your identity and be your own advocateLinks & Resources:Dean’s Website: https://www.thewildcureway.com/“The Wild Cure” book: https://www.thewildcureway.com/booksUpgrade Your HealthThe Biological Blueprint Course: https://www.beautifullybroken.world/biological-blueprintEarn 200 in BitCoin + Change your health BEAM Minerals: beamminerals.com/beautifullybrokenCode: BEAUTIFULLYBROKENLightPathLED: lightpathled.pxf.io/c/3438432/2059835/25794Code: beautifullybrokenSilver Biotics Wound Healing Gel: bit.ly/3JnxyDD30% off with Code: BEAUTIFULLYBROKENStemRegen: stemregen.co/products/stemregen?_ef_transaction_id=&oid=1&affid=52Code: beautifullybroken CONNECT WITH FREDDIEWork with Me: https://www.beautifullybroken.world/biological-blueprintWebsite and Store: (http://www.beautifullybroken.world)  Instagram: (https://www.instagram.com/beautifullybroken.world/)  YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@freddiekimmel Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
