What if thinking about death could actually help you live a fuller, more meaningful life?In this episode of The Dr. K Show, Dr. K sits down with John Hopkins, a former filmmaker turned Life & Death Guide, to explore how confronting mortality can dissolve fear, unlock purpose, and radically reshape the way we live. John shares how near-death experiences, panic attacks, and sitting with people at the end of life led him to discover that our deepest anxieties are rooted in the unspoken fear of death.This powerful conversation dives into why Western culture avoids mortality, how that avoidance fuels regret and fear-based decision-making, and why most people reach the end of life wishing they had truly lived. You’ll learn practical tools—including mortality meditation, reverse-engineering your life from the end, and facing fear head-on—to help you live with clarity, courage, and fewer regrets, starting now.Key Takeaways:0:00 Introduction and why facing death changes how we live3:10 John’s near-death experiences and panic attacks as a wake-up call6:20 Why fear of death sits beneath all other fears10:30 Western culture’s avoidance of mortality and its consequences14:20 The shocking truth: most people die with major regrets17:45 Common end-of-life regrets and what people wish they’d done22:10 Mortality meditation and learning to live with gratitude26:40 Reverse-engineering your life from the end to avoid regret31:30 Stepping toward fear as the path to purpose and alignment35:50 Living fully now instead of waiting for “someday”Resources Mentioned:Dying to Live With Purpose – https://www.livepurpose.coReverstory (AI life reflection tool) – https://www.livepurpose.coMedical Disclaimer: This content is for educational purposes only and is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or replace professional medical advice.

Dr. Michael Karlfeldt is joined by Dr. Monisha Bhanote, MD, ABOIM, FCAP—a 5x board-certified physician, bestselling author of The Anatomy of Wellbeing, and founder of the WELLKULÅ Institute. Known for her signature philosophy #CellCare™, Dr. Bhanote helps people move from survival mode into cellular alignment—where energy returns, clarity sharpens, and resilience becomes a way of life.In this episode, Dr. Bhanote shares a powerful story from her pathology training—an autopsy that changed how she understood disease, prevention, and what it truly means to “take care of your cells.” Together, she and Dr. Karlfeldt break down the five major physiologic stressors of travel and modern life—digestion, immunity, cognition/focus, mitochondrial energy, and recovery—and the practical tools that can help you stay well on the move. You’ll hear actionable strategies like using bitters, ginger water, and CCF tea (cumin, coriander, fennel) for digestion; prioritizing daylight exposure to reset circadian rhythm; and supportive botanicals like bacopa, gotu kola, and holy basil for focus and stress resilience.Whether you travel frequently, commute daily, or simply feel depleted by modern life, this conversation reframes “wellness” into something tangible and teachable: how your everyday choices shape your cellular function—and how small shifts can protect your gut, strengthen immunity, reduce brain fog, and restore energy.Learn more about her work at https://www.drbhanote.com/.Key Topics CoveredWhy “normal labs” don’t always equal true wellnessThe autopsy story that sparked Dr. Bhanote’s mission behind #CellCare™The 5 travel stressors: digestion, immunity, cognition, mitochondria, recoveryWhy flying can trigger bloating, constipation, reflux, and food sensitivitySimple gut supports: warm cooked foods, bitters, ginger water, CCF tea, amlaHow disrupted sleep can weaken natural killer cells and immune defenseTravel brain fog: cortisol, executive function, and the role of oxygen + movementNootropic botanicals: bacopa, gotu kola, holy basil for clarity and calmMitochondrial support for energy: movement + antioxidants + CoQ10/PQQ/glutathioneRecovery essentials: circadian reset, breathwork, adaptogens, and magnesium/B12 support ____________________________________If you're ready to expand your mind, elevate your health, and awaken your full potential, subscribe now and join the revolution in conscious living with The Dr. K Show!____________________________________CONNECT WITH DR.

Dr. Darren Schmidt, D.C. isn’t chasing health fads—he’s reviving forgotten truths of medicine and pairing them with today’s most advanced testing. As founder of the Nutritional Healing Center of Ann Arbor (one of the nation’s largest non-insurance nutrition clinics), he’s spent 30+ years helping tens of thousands of people resolve complex chronic issues using diet, supplements, detox strategies, and precise tracking.In this episode, Dr. Schmidt shares the personal health crises that shaped his clinical breakthroughs—being poisoned by insecticide in 1991, nearly taken out by toxic mold in 2016, and surviving a dangerous gas leak in 2024. He walks through his practical “7-Step Blueprint to Optimal Health,” explaining why sequence matters (diet → energy/mitochondria → drainage → parasites/cleanout → detox → deeper infections like Lyme → optimization). You’ll also hear about MVX Plus, an affordable blood test he calls a game-changer for monitoring inflammation, infection, toxicity, malnutrition, and mitochondrial dysfunction—helping patients and practitioners pinpoint what’s actually driving symptoms and track progress every 6–8 weeks.Finally, Dr. Schmidt makes a strong case for a “secret weapon” nutrient many people overlook: vitamin B1 (especially the fat-soluble forms). From breathing and circulation to nerve function, sleep, blood pressure, and neuropathy, he explains why B1 can be a turning point—and how to trial it intelligently while also identifying why the deficiency happened in the first place (diet, mold, parasites, toxic exposure, and more).Key Topics CoveredDr. Darren Schmidt’s real-world health crises: insecticide poisoning, toxic mold exposure, and a prolonged gas leakWhy detox and recovery can take longer than expected (including multi-year timelines)The “7-Step Blueprint to Optimal Health” and why the order of steps mattersHow parasites can “hold” toxins and microbes, and why clearing them can unlock stalled healingMVX Plus explained: what it measures and how it guides clinical decision-makingUsing MVX-style tracking to spot missed infections (e.g., hidden dental/root canal issues) and course-correct protocolsThe mitochondria connection: why cellular energy is the foundation of healing vs. symptom managementVitamin B1 (benfotiamine/TTFD): what it supports (nerves, oxygen delivery, CO₂ handling, mitochondrial pathways)Practical guidance for trialing B1, including temporary worsening and how to interpret itWhy nutrition and supplementation can’t be “outsourced” to medications when it comes to long-term restoration ____________________________________If you're ready to expand your mind, elevate your health, and awaken your full potential, subscribe now and join the revolution in conscious living with The Dr. K Show!____________________________________CONNECT WITH DR.

Dr. Nathan Bryan, Ph.D. is an international leader in molecular medicine and a pioneer in nitric oxide research. He’s the founder of Bryan Therapeutics, Nitric Oxide Innovations LLC, Pneuma Nitric Oxide (now N1o1.com), and Bryan Nitriceuticals (No2u.com). Dr. Bryan was the first to describe nitrite and nitrate as indispensable nutrients for optimal cardiovascular health, and the first to demonstrate an endocrine function of nitric oxide via S-nitrosoglutathione and inorganic nitrite. His nitric oxide technology is validated in six published clinical trials, and he has authored or edited six books alongside publishing highly cited scientific papers.In this episode of The Dr. K Show, Dr. Bryan explains why nitric oxide—an ultra-short-lived gas—became so important it reshaped modern cell signaling and vascular biology. You’ll learn how nitric oxide supports blood vessel dilation, oxygen delivery, mitochondrial function, inflammation control, immune regulation, and even stem-cell mobilization for repair. He also breaks down a practical “symptom hierarchy” that can signal declining nitric oxide production: sexual dysfunction, rising blood pressure, insulin resistance, exercise intolerance, and cognitive decline—framing Alzheimer’s as a vascular-metabolic condition tied to chronic low nitric oxide.You’ll also hear a compelling discussion on why modern lifestyle factors can sabotage nitric oxide pathways—high-sugar diets, antiseptic mouthwash, fluoride exposure, and acid-blocking medications—and what to do instead (nutrition, movement, fasting/autophagy, and sunlight). For those who want to go deeper, Dr. Bryan shares where to find his work and technology at N1o1.com, No2u.com, and on Amazon, along with his book The Secret of Nitric Oxide: Bringing the Science to Life.Key Topics CoveredWhat nitric oxide is and why it’s essential for circulation, oxygen delivery, and performanceHow a gas-based signaling molecule changed the paradigm of cell signalingThe role of nitric oxide in mitochondria, energy production (ATP), and metabolic healthWhy nitric oxide loss may be an early driver of vascular inflammation and chronic diseaseThe “symptom hierarchy” of nitric oxide deficiency: sexual dysfunction → high BP → insulin resistance → exercise intolerance → cognitive declineOral microbiome pathway: dietary nitrate → nitrite → nitric oxide (and why mouthwash can disrupt it)Lifestyle disruptors: high sugar/carbs, fluoride exposure, antiseptic mouthwash, and acid-blocking drugsWhy Dr. Bryan challenges cholesterol-centric approaches and critiques statins from a risk/benefit perspectivePractical strategies to support nitric oxide: diet quality, exercise, fasting/autophagy, and sunlightDr. Bryan’s nitric oxide technology and where to learn more (N1o1.com, No2u.com, Amazon) ____________________________________If you're ready to expand your mind, elevate your health, and awaken your full potential, subscribe now and join the revolution in conscious living with The Dr. K Show!____________________________________CONNECT WITH DR.

Dr. Patrick K. Porter is a brain health pioneer, award-winning author, and the creator of BrainTap®—a neurotechnology platform used by over 120,000 individuals, pro athletes, and 3,000+ clinics worldwide. In this episode, Dr. Porter shares the personal story that launched his four-decade mission into brainwave training and self-mastery—plus why he believes brain fitness is foundational for clarity, resilience, and real healing.Together, we explore how stress, sleep, and perception shape the nervous system—and how simple, repeatable practices can help “upgrade” your internal energy and recovery. Dr. Porter breaks down practical breathwork tools you can use immediately (psychological sigh in the morning, box breathing mid-day, and a 4–8 style downshift at night), explains why restorative relaxation is missing from modern life, and shares how consistent nervous system “reboots” can improve performance, mood, and sleep quality. He also discusses the role of frequency, light, and guided mental training—plus how BrainTap sessions are designed to help downregulate stress and support recovery.If you’ve felt stuck in fight-or-flight, overwhelmed by modern life, or curious about consciousness, brainwave entrainment, and what it really takes to build resilience—this conversation offers a refreshing blend of science, lived experience, and actionable steps to start changing your state today.Key Topics CoveredDr. Porter’s origin story: how meditation and relaxation helped his father stop drinking—and sparked a lifelong missionBrainwave states (beta vs. alpha/theta) and how shifting state can support relaxation, pain relief, and recoveryWhy the modern brain isn’t designed for modern living—and what “restorative relaxation” is missing todayConsciousness as a “field” and how perception, beliefs, and stress can shape your experience and biologyStress capacity vs. “getting rid of stress”: building resilience instead of chasing stress-free livingPractical breathwork protocols: psychological sigh (AM), box breathing (midday reset), longer exhales for nighttime downregulationSleep as a necessity (not a luxury): deep sleep and REM as foundations for brain detox + mental resilienceThe “default mode network” and why many people struggle with meditation when negative loops kick inLifestyle pillars for brain energy: movement, breathing, nutrition, community, and reducing tech-driven overstimulationBrainTap® overview: guided sessions designed to help downregulate the nervous system and support specific wellness goals ____________________________________If you're ready to expand your mind, elevate your health, and awaken your full potential, subscribe now and join the revolution in conscious living with The Dr. K Show!____________________________________CONNECT WITH DR.

Dr. Brett Bolton is a Fort Lauderdale–based hair transplant surgeon, founder of Great Hair Transplants, and creator of the advanced MaxHarvest™ technique. With 28 years dedicated exclusively to hair restoration and 822 verified five-star reviews, Dr. Bolton has built an international reputation for high-density, natural-looking results—often in a single session. In this episode of The Dr. K Show, Dr. Michael Karlfeldt sits down with Dr. Bolton to unpack what most people get wrong about hair loss and why choosing the right surgeon can make the difference between a life-changing outcome and an expensive mistake.You’ll hear a candid breakdown of the “Wild West” of hair restoration, including why so many patients end up needing corrective surgery, what’s really happening in many high-volume clinics, and how tissue handling, graft survival, and artistic placement determine whether hair grows naturally—or not at all. Dr. Bolton explains the genetic drivers of male-pattern and female-pattern hair loss, how DHT miniaturizes follicles, and why proper diagnosis and stabilization (like FDA-approved options such as finasteride and minoxidil) matters before any procedure. He also shares his strong opinions on popular add-ons like PRP and why he believes they don’t deliver meaningful results for most patients.Whether you’re noticing early thinning, considering a hair transplant, or trying to avoid a bad outcome, this conversation equips you with clear, practical insight—so you can make confident decisions, protect your donor hair, and understand what “quality” really means in hair restoration.Key Topics CoveredWhy hair transplants are often “corrective surgery” after poor first resultsWhat makes a hair transplant look natural: angles, hairline design, and placement strategyThe “Wild West” problem: who’s actually performing parts of procedures in some clinicsFUE vs. strip and the real tradeoffs patients should understandDr. Bolton’s MaxHarvest™ approach and why he uses a combination of graft sizesGraft viability: tissue handling, hydration, timing, and blood supply fundamentalsThe true root cause of most male hair loss: genetics, DHT, and follicle miniaturizationFemale hair loss: pattern recognition, hormonal influences, and why diagnosis mattersFDA-approved support: finasteride and minoxidil as stabilization toolsWhy “price shopping” (including medical tourism) can cost you donor hair and time ____________________________________If you're ready to expand your mind, elevate your health, and awaken your full potential, subscribe now and join the revolution in conscious living with The Dr. K Show!____________________________________CONNECT WITH DR.

In this episode of The Dr. K Show, Dr. Michael Karlfeldt sits down with Dr. Nicki J. Monti—renowned psychotherapist, teacher, speaker, media personality, and author of Stuck in the Story No More and Our Love Matters. Known for her straight-shooting style and work helping people break free from self-defeating patterns, Dr. Nicki brings a rare blend of clinical insight, lived experience, and soulful clarity to a conversation that challenges how we define love, identity, and healing.Together, we explore why approval often masquerades as love, how early-life stories shape our relationships, and what it really takes to shift your life from the inside out. Dr. Nicki shares powerful reflections from her memoir The Divine Traumedy of Nicki Joy: A True Grime Tale—including addiction recovery, self-worth, and the “house of mirrors” concept (how the world reflects what we believe about ourselves).

In this illuminating episode, Dr. Karlfeldt sits down with Linda Yael Schiller, MSW, LICSW—an international authority on dreams, nightmares, trauma, and intergenerational healing. As the author of Ancestral Dreaming: Heal Generational Wounds through Dreamwork and a Professor Emeritus at Boston University, Linda has spent more than 40 years pioneering innovative approaches to dream interpretation, trauma integration, and psycho-spiritual healing. Her work bridges psychotherapy, neurobiology, embodied therapies, and ancient wisdom traditions, offering listeners a doorway into the transformative power of dreamwork.Across the conversation, Linda reveals how dreams serve as a direct portal into the deepest layers of our personal, ancestral, and collective stories. She explains how epigenetics, inherited trauma, and symbolic dreaming intersect, and why unexplained anxiety, emotional patterns, or persistent struggles may not originate in our lived experiences, but from generations before us. Drawing from her decades of clinical practice and her extensive background in dream studies, Linda guides us through the process of incubating dreams, decoding symbols, working with multi-layered meaning, and using dream states—and dream-adjacent states—to heal trauma that spans time, lineage, and consciousness.Listeners will also hear profound insights about the Tree of Life, Kabbalistic frameworks, the multi-tiered structure of dream layers, synchronicity, and the extraordinary ability of dreams to reshape both psychological and physiological patterns. Whether you are curious about your own dreams, seeking healing from intergenerational wounds, or simply fascinated by the mysteries of consciousness, this episode offers deep wisdom and practical pathways for tapping into the unconscious intelligence of the soul.Key Topics CoveredHow dreamwork connects personal, ancestral, and collective healingThe epigenetic transmission of trauma and emotional resonance across generationsTechniques for incubating dreams and improving dream recallUnderstanding multi-layered dream interpretation through the Pardes/Kabbalistic frameworkDistinguishing universal symbols from highly personal dream imageryUsing dreams and dream-adjacent states to access deeper intuitive guidanceApproaches for healing ancestral trauma through guided imagery, journeying, and conscious intentionThe relationship between the Tree of Life, energy systems, and dream symbolismHow dreamwork reshapes physiological and emotional patterns for future generations ____________________________________If you're ready to expand your mind, elevate your health, and awaken your full potential, subscribe now and join the revolution in conscious living with The Dr. K Show!____________________________________CONNECT WITH DR.

Host Dr. Michael Karfieldt interviews Nobel laureate physicist Professor Frank Wilczek about his book “Fundamentals: 10 Keys to Reality,” framing the conversation around how modern physics reveals a universe of vast abundance in matter and time. Wilczek outlines the book’s aim: to distill frontiers of understanding for curious non-specialists, his younger self, and even his grandson—inviting listeners to expand their mental models of reality through clear, accessible “keys.”Wilczek emphasizes complementarity—the idea that multiple, seemingly different perspectives can each be valid and necessary to understand complex systems. He explains how intermediate concepts like pressure or temperature help bridge microscopic laws and macroscopic experience, drawing analogies to computation where simple operations across many units yield emergent complexity. This scaffolding of concepts, he argues, is essential to grasp both cosmic structure and everyday phenomena.A central thread is consciousness: the “astonishing hypothesis” that mind emerges from matter. Wilczek notes that much of what we call conscious decision-making is likely subconscious reporting to awareness, and he candidly shares that science still lacks the right conceptual toolkit to fully map mind–brain relationships. The discussion stays grounded yet speculative, acknowledging genuine mysteries while maintaining confidence in science’s capacity to inch toward better explanations.Looking ahead, Wilczek surveys the double-edged nature of technological progress—from artificial intelligence to genetic enhancement—stressing the need for wisdom, governance, and responsibility. He warns about existential risks such as nuclear conflict, climate change, and runaway AI, while remaining cautiously optimistic that prudent stewardship can channel innovation toward a flourishing future rather than catastrophe.Finally, he contrasts science’s rigorous self-correction—peer review, replication, and a culture of proof—with more checkered political processes, arguing that scientific integrity is a proven engine of reliable knowledge and transformative applications like GPS, lasers, and modern communications. The conversation closes with an invitation to readers: engage “Fundamentals” not just as a physics text, but as a lens for living thoughtfully in a complex world where multiple ways of understanding can peacefully cohere. Nobel laureate Professor Frank Wilczek discusses “Fundamentals: 10 Keys to Reality,” framing the universe as abundant in matter and time while inviting non-specialists to expand their understanding. He emphasizes complementarity and the role of intermediate concepts (like pressure and temperature) to bridge microscopic laws with macroscopic experience. Wilczek explores the “mind from matter” idea, noting much decision-making is subconscious and that science still seeks the right concepts to link brain and consciousness.Looking forward, he urges responsible stewardship of powerful technologies—from AI to genetic tools—amid risks like nuclear conflict and climate change. He contrasts science’s rigorous verification culture with politics’ uneven checks, crediting scientific integrity for practical breakthroughs like GPS, lasers, and modern communications.  ____________________________________If you're ready to expand your mind, elevate your health, and awaken your full potential, subscribe now and join the revolution in conscious living with The Dr. K Show!____________________________________CONNECT WITH DR.

In this episode of the Dr. K show with Dr. Michael Karlfeldt, Dr. Karlfeldt is joined by Regina Leffers Ph.D.. The episode explores a practical framework for understanding and expanding human consciousness, framed through a conversation with Dr. Regina about her book and why its message feels urgent in light of the 2016 and 2020 political moments. She defines consciousness as a set of evolving “facets” we are born into and grow across life, contrasting this with “levels,” and uses a rubber-band metaphor to illustrate how awareness can elastically contract under stress and expand with practice.A core distinction is between facets and levels: people may be highly developed in some facets and underdeveloped in others, much like training different muscle groups. This uneven growth helps explain interpersonal misunderstandings—two people can operate from different dominant facets. Dr. Regina outlines a progression from survival and belonging to individuation, compliance, risk, reindividuation, care, empathy, connectivity, and creation, emphasizing that each facet carries challenges and shadow expressions if over-relied on or triggered by stressors.The discussion situates personal shifts within a turbulent public sphere, noting how political climates can hijack attention, polarize discourse, and push people into survival-oriented modes. Dr. Regina illustrates how life events (like 9/11) can yank us into earlier facets, narrowing perspective and reactivity. Recognizing these regressions is key to restoring flexibility: noticing fear or contraction can cue practices that re-expand awareness and re-engage empathy and connection, enabling more constructive dialogue and decision-making in communities and institutions.Practical tools feature prominently. Dr. Regina recommends biohacks that shift brainwaves from beta to alpha—especially intentional gratitude and meditation—to enhance creativity, calm, and problem-solving. She shares personal experiences recovering from a brain injury using meditation and biofeedback, and suggests alpha-oriented music as a simple, repeatable aid. These practices reinforce neuroplasticity: by catching critical thought loops and re-patterning attention, individuals can exit narrow survival scripts and cultivate broader, more integrative states of mind.Ultimately, the episode argues that moving from the sixth to the seventh facet marks a pivotal leap—for individuals and society—toward care, empathy, and “interbeing” or Be Oneness. Expanding consciousness is presented not as an abstraction but as a pragmatic route to wiser choices, healthier relationships, and better governance. The conversation closes on a hopeful note: by understanding the facets, applying daily practices, and prioritizing embodied awareness, people can grow into creators of their lives and communities, meeting complex challenges with steadier minds and more generous hearts.Dr. Regina presents consciousness as evolving “facets” that expand and contract like a rubber band based on life experiences and stressors.She distinguishes facets from levels, noting people can be advanced in some facets and underdeveloped in others, which explains interpersonal misunderstandings.The conversation links political turbulence to regressions into survival-oriented facets that narrow perspective and hinder civil discourse.Practical “biohacks” like gratitude, meditation, and alpha-brainwave music are offered to shift from beta to alpha states for creativity and calm, supported by her recovery story using meditation and biofeedback.A pivotal growth aim is moving from the sixth to the seventh facet toward care, empathy, and interbeing to improve personal decisions and collective outcomes. ____________________________________If you're ready to expand your mind, elevate your health, and awaken your full potential, subscribe now and join the revolution in conscious living with The Dr. K Show!____________________________________CONNECT WITH DR.

Today on the Dr. K show Dr. Michael Karlfeldt is joined by Dana Hargus M.Ed.LPC. Dana traces her path from special education into counseling, driven by financial realities and a growing belief that conventional approaches were failing children with trauma. She recounts teaching, adopting children with special needs, and witnessing systemic gaps in juvenile settings, all of which pushed her toward solutions that could produce meaningful, measurable healing rather than manage symptoms alone.She critiques the child welfare and foster care landscape, describing how frequent placements compound trauma and instability. Dana argues for truly trauma-informed systems that prioritize safety, practicality, and the least invasive interventions, noting how resource constraints often force suboptimal decisions. The goal, she emphasizes, should be continuity and support that prevent further harm rather than repeated disruptions in a child’s life.A centerpiece of her work is biofeedback—technology-assisted training that helps the brain establish healthier patterns by reinforcing desired states and extinguishing maladaptive ones. She explains how this can reset nervous-system responses, sometimes preparing individuals to benefit more from talk therapy than they otherwise would. Grounded in the science of neuroplasticity, the approach aims to reduce chronic fight/flight/freeze states that undermine learning, health, and behavior after trauma exposure.Dana outlines her Restore Method, which integrates biofeedback, counseling, and practical daily interventions. The program typically includes a six-week at-home phase followed by a two-week intensive, addressing body, soul, and spirit while leveraging community support through Restore Plus. She also discusses adjunct techniques such as tapping for releasing energy blocks, and she highlights the importance of addressing attachment—both early-life bonding and “earned” secure attachment in adulthood—as a foundation for relational and emotional stability.Finally, she underscores lifestyle as mental-health infrastructure: nutrition, sleep, and reducing stimulants like sugar and caffeine are presented as nonnegotiables, particularly given the gut-brain connection. Looking systemically, Dana calls for policies and practices that keep children safely with their families whenever possible, offering practical supports that prevent the churn of placements. Her thesis is clear: a compassionate, evidence-aligned ecosystem—combining physiological regulation, counseling, and everyday habits—can better serve children and families than medication-first, placement-heavy defaults.Dana Hargus explains how chronic trauma keeps the nervous system stuck in fight/flight/freeze and argues that biofeedback can help reset brainwave patterns more effectively than talk therapy alone in many cases.She outlines the Restore Method—a six-week at-home program followed by a two-week intensive—combining biofeedback, counseling, and practical daily interventions with community support via Restore Plus.The episode emphasizes “earned attachment,” showing how adults can actively rebuild secure attachment to improve relationships and emotional stability, even after early attachment injuries.Dana critiques foster care churn, noting frequent placements compound trauma, and calls for trauma-informed, least-invasive supports that keep children safely in their homes when possible.Lifestyle fundamentals—nutrition, sleep, and reducing stimulants like sugar and caffeine—are presented as core to mental health, alongside tools like tapping for releasing residual emotional blocks.Restore of Ada, along with our online platform, Restore+.

On this episode of the Dr. K show Dr. Michael Karlfeldt is joined by Professor Greg Hammer, a retired Stanford physician, and they discuss teenage mental health and the ideas behind his book “A Mindful Teen.” Drawing on decades in medicine and personal experience raising a struggling teen, he frames today’s adolescent landscape as uniquely challenging. He outlines how social media saturation, school violence, political polarization, eco‑anxiety, and intense college pressures have created a mental health headwind that families and schools can’t ignore.Dr. Hammer details what warning signs to watch for—shifts in personality, withdrawal, slipping grades, isolation—and cautions that high‑achieving teens can mask severe distress. He urges parents, teachers, and coaches to increase vigilance, share observations, and take proactive steps early. The conversation underscores that support networks must be coordinated and persistent, especially when teens resist help or minimize their struggles.Central to Dr. Hammer’s approach is the GAIN practice—Gratitude, Acceptance, Intention, and Non‑judgment—a daily mindfulness framework for reshaping thought patterns. He explains how consistent practice can gradually recalibrate the brain’s negativity bias, improving resilience and emotional regulation. Modeling GAIN at home and in classrooms, he argues, helps teens internalize healthier responses to stress.Practical guidance threads through the episode: start small, repeat often, and integrate mindfulness into routine moments like car rides and family dinners. Tackle difficult topics directly—sex and STDs, bullying, shaming, and online risks—while enlisting coaches and teachers as role models. When substance use or acute crises arise, seek professional help and maintain a clear, steady strategy rather than oscillating with each setback.Finally, Dr. Hammer highlights neuroplasticity—the brain’s capacity to rewire through repetition—as the scientific foundation for GAIN. He discusses mitigating social media harms, promoting digital breaks and outdoor time, and strengthening community ties so parents don’t feel isolated. The takeaway is both sobering and hopeful: today’s pressures are real and rising, but with mindful habits, coordinated adult support, and persistence, teens can build the resilience needed to thrive.Stanford’s Dr. Greg Hammer outlines today’s major teen stressors—social media, school violence, political polarization, eco‑anxiety, and college pressure—and why they’re intensifying mental health risks.He warns that even high‑achieving teens can hide serious struggles, urging adults to watch for shifts like withdrawal, isolation, and declining grades.Dr. Hammer presents the GAIN practice—Gratitude, Acceptance, Intention, Non‑judgment—as a daily mindfulness toolkit to counter negativity bias and build resilience.Practical advice includes embedding small, consistent mindfulness moments into routines and directly addressing hard topics like bullying, sextortion, sex/STD risks, and online harms.Grounded in neuroplasticity, his message is that repeated, modeled habits from parents, teachers, and coaches can rewire thought patterns and help teens thrive despite modern pressures. ____________________________________If you're ready to expand your mind, elevate your health, and awaken your full potential, subscribe now and join the revolution in conscious living with The Dr. K Show!____________________________________CONNECT WITH DR.

This episode of the Dr. K show centers on the launch of Dr. V and Dr. K’s new book, "Breast Cancer Breakthrough," which is presented as a comprehensive guide to healing by merging conventional and natural medicine. The conversation opens with excitement about the upcoming release and highlights the book’s goal to bridge traditional oncology with holistic approaches, ensuring that women facing breast cancer have access to a wide array of supportive tools and strategies rooted in both science and integrative health.A major theme of the discussion is the importance of integrating natural therapies—like vitamin D, curcumin, fasting, and proper nutrition—with standard medical treatments. Both doctors stress that natural medicine should not run counter to conventional oncology; rather, combining both systems can boost treatment effectiveness and minimize side effects. They advocate for a personalized, synchronized approach, tailoring interventions to individual patient needs and using extensive research to guide therapy choices.Empowering patients with knowledge is a recurring message throughout the episode. Dr. V and Dr. K emphasize correcting misconceptions, such as the notion that natural treatments must pause during standard oncology care or that medical professionals reject integrative methods outright. The doctors encourage women to embrace all available tools and offer praise for coaching teams and the evolution of cancer care, focusing on hope and the power of informed choice in health journeys.The conversation provides practical insights for patients facing surgery, chemotherapy, or radiation. The doctors discuss immune system support, pre-surgery preparations, and the management of inflammation. They cover nutritional supplements to aid recovery, the risks of immune suppression from anesthesia, and the benefits of fasting during chemotherapy. Metabolic flexibility and attention to blood sugar, especially through dietary adjustments, are highlighted as strategies to optimize the effects of cancer treatments and reduce adverse outcomes.In closing, Dr. V and Dr. K reflect on the broader impact of their book and their shared mission: to empower women navigating breast cancer by offering holistic, actionable guidance. By combining foundational wellness with advanced oncology, they hope to provide a pathway to healing that honors both the body and mind.

Today on the Dr. K Show, Dr. Karlfeldt is joined by a very special guest, Vickie Menendez.  Vickie’s appearance on the podcast centers on her deeply personal journey through profound loss and healing. Having lost both her son and father within a year—coupled with an earlier loss of a stillborn child—Vickie recounts the cascading waves of grief that shaped her perception of life and death. She discusses how her understanding of soul contracts and the nature of loss evolved, helping her reframe what initially felt like insurmountable tragedy into a catalyst for personal growth and compassion for others.As Vickie navigated her new reality, she found meaning and purpose in her hardships. Her children’s experiences became the foundation for her mission, pushing her to speak out, support, and inspire others dealing with addiction and health struggles. Vickie believes her own voice carries the lessons her children imparted in life, and she channels their energy into meaningful advocacy work, including the creation of a foundation to address seizures, asthma, and addiction—conditions central to her family’s story.A key element of Vickie’s healing has been her embrace of holistic modalities. She describes the vital role of breath work, meditation, and yoga in helping her regulate her nervous system and move from states of fight-or-flight into deep, reparative calm. Through these techniques, she learned to process trauma and manage her emotional landscape, emphasizing the importance of vagal tone exercises and self-care over reliance on medication. This integrative approach allowed her to not only endure difficulty, but to cultivate resilience and peace despite ongoing grief.Creativity became an important vessel for remembrance and transformation for Vickie. She explains how visualization—a field of butterflies representing her daughter, for instance—provided comfort and spiritual connection. Writing letters to her children, painting mandalas, and incorporating these works into her memoir, “The Mother of All Memoirs,” became rituals of closure and homage. Vickie shares how these artistic expressions and written reflections helped honor her children’s memories while supporting her own journey toward healing.In closing, Vickie offers wisdom to others facing the pain of loss: healing is a continuous process, not a destination. She encourages listeners to honor their emotions, trust their intuition, and remain open to the ongoing lessons embedded in life’s challenges. Her story emphasizes that by embracing our grief and giving it meaning, we can transform suffering into purpose, legacy, and an authentic sense of gratitude for the connections that endure beyond loss.Vickie Menendez shares her journey through losing her son, father, and a stillborn child, and how these profound losses transformed her understanding of life and death.She channels her grief into advocacy work, creating a foundation to address the health and addiction issues that affected her children.Holistic practices such as breath work, meditation, and yoga play a central role in Vickie Menendez’s approach to healing from trauma.Through creative expressions like letter writing and visualization, Vicki honors her children’s memories and finds spiritual connection.Vickie Menendez’s story emphasizes that embracing and processing emotions can turn suffering into purpose and ongoing healing. ____________________________________If you're ready to expand your mind, elevate your health, and awaken your full potential, subscribe now and join the revolution in conscious living with The Dr. K Show!____________________________________CONNECT WITH DR.

This episode of the Dr. K Show with Dr. Michael Karlfeldt has includes Robert “Rocky” Detwiler. Rocky offers an inspiring account of personal transformation and the power of resilience in the face of extraordinary adversity. Introduced as the author of “The Samsung Effect” and a respected corporate trainer, Rocky’s journey is rooted in a dramatic turning point: early retirement wiped out by falling victim to a Ponzi scheme executed by close friends, which forced him into near-destitution. This sudden financial and emotional upheaval marked the beginning of a dark period, as Rocky lived in a foreclosed home and later in a tree house, wrestling with depression and the desire to rebuild his life. At his lowest point, Rocky experienced a defining moment of self-confrontation, realizing the urgent need for change. He began with his health and fitness, making conscious choices to replace unhealthy habits, and soon noticed a correlation between positive behaviors and improvements in his outlook. Rocky recounts moving to Idaho, where living in humble circumstances triggered a curiosity about the power of words and the seed of gratitude began to take root, gradually shifting his mindset from despair to hope. This curiosity blossomed into a personal and professional mission as Rocky explored the impact of words and affirmations on health and well-being. Drawing from scientific studies—including Dr. Emoto’s research on water and his own experiments with rice—he became convinced that words shape reality at the molecular level. These insights led Rocky to launch an inspirational apparel company and to teach the transformative impact of positive self-talk, both in his own life and to clients around the world. He credits positive affirmations for profound shifts, even meeting his future wife through the process of vocalizing his hopes and intentions. Rocky extends these lessons beyond himself by working with youth and communities, leading exercises in gratitude, quiet reflection, and kindness. His outreach with teenagers demonstrates the transformative ripple of positive language and sincere gratitude; for many, these practices have yielded measurable improvements in attitude, relationships, and resilience. Through powerful stories, he illustrates the process of letting go of unforgiveness and embracing gratitude as foundational practices for emotional healing and healthy interpersonal connections. The conversation closes with actionable recommendations: Rocky urges listeners to adopt forgiveness and gratitude not only as occasional acts, but as daily habits capable of improving both mental and physical health. He shares evidence from his life and research that these positive practices foster opportunity, deeper relationships, and healing, even after profound loss or betrayal. Rocky’s story stands as both caution and encouragement—reminding us that adversity can be a catalyst for transformation if we choose to speak, act, and live with intentional positivity.Robert “Rocky” Detwiler shares his journey from losing everything in a Ponzi scheme to rebuilding his life through resilience, gratitude, and positive thinking.Rocky emphasizes the transformative power of words, citing both scientific studies and personal experience to show how positive affirmations can change one’s health and circumstances.He advocates practicing gratitude and forgiveness, describing how these habits helped him overcome depression and restore broken relationships.Rocky’s outreach work with teenagers demonstrates how small acts of kindness and daily gratitude can significantly improve mental outlook and self-worth.The episode concludes with Rocky encouraging listeners to use positive words and affirmations as tools for healing, personal growth, and stronger community connections.About:Robert “Rocky” Detwiler – Global Sales Leader, High-Performance Strategist & Expert in the Power of WordsWith over 40 years of sales experience—from selling single-digit ticket items to leading multi-million-dollar investment projects—Rocky Detwiler has built a reputation as a powerhouse in the sales world.

This episode of the Dr. K Show, hosted by Dr. Michael Karlfeldt, features a conversation with Nelly Gal, a practitioner in the women's wellness and anti-aging field. The discussion opens with an exploration of the dual aspects of anti-aging: cosmetic interventions and holistic wellness, emphasizing the importance of prevention, lifestyle modifications, and hormone optimization for long-term health and vitality. Nelly explains that true anti-aging is not just about reversing wrinkles but involves a comprehensive approach that includes diet, exercise, mindset, and spiritual direction. Nelly details her clinical approach, which starts with thorough assessments such as blood, saliva, and urine panels to evaluate hormone metabolism, toxic exposures, and overall health. She highlights the growing use of peptides and IV therapies, such as NAD and niogen, to support recovery, cognitive function, and healthy aging, especially for patients over 40 or those recovering from malnutrition or stress. However, she stresses that these interventions are most effective when combined with foundational lifestyle habits like hydration, nutrition, and regular exercise. The conversation also delves into the importance of finding trustworthy, experienced practitioners in the cosmetic and wellness industry. Nelly advises listeners to seek referrals, do background checks, and come prepared with questions to ensure they receive honest, individualized care. She emphasizes that medicine is both an art and a science, and that patient engagement and consistency are key to achieving and maintaining results, whether the goal is improved skin, hormone balance, or overall well-being. Mindset and gratitude emerge as central themes, with Nelly sharing her personal journey from poverty in Cuba to success in the United States. She underscores the value of having a sense of purpose, being grateful for one’s circumstances, and seeking guidance or mentorship when facing challenges. Nelly encourages listeners to reflect on their blessings, take responsibility for their opportunities, and approach self-care with acceptance and grace, regardless of age or past experiences. The episode concludes with a reminder that true transformation involves both inner and outer work. Dr. Karlfeldt and Nelly agree that while cosmetic improvements can boost confidence, lasting change comes from addressing deeper issues such as mindset, emotional health, and life purpose.Nelly Gal explains that anti-aging is a holistic process involving both cosmetic treatments and wellness strategies, with a focus on hormone optimization and lifestyle changes.The episode highlights the importance of diet, exercise, mindset, and spiritual direction in achieving longevity and overall well-being.Peptides and IV therapies, such as BPC-157, TB-500, and NAD, are discussed as innovative tools for muscle recovery, cognitive function, and inflammation reduction.Nelly emphasizes the value of finding experienced, honest practitioners and maintaining consistency in self-care routines for lasting results.Listeners are encouraged to cultivate gratitude, purpose, and self-reflection as foundational elements for personal growth and optimal health. ____________________________________If you're ready to expand your mind, elevate your health, and awaken your full potential, subscribe now and join the revolution in conscious living with The Dr. K Show!____________________________________CONNECT WITH DR.

This episode of the Dr. K show features Dr. David Cunningham, who discusses the central message of his book "Your Love Does Matter," emphasizing that love is not merely an emotion but a fundamental way of being. Dr. Cunningham explains that true happiness and fulfillment are rooted in who we are as individuals, rather than in what we possess or accomplish. He encourages listeners to focus on cultivating love as a core aspect of their identity, which in turn positively influences both personal well-being and the broader community. Throughout the conversation, Dr. Cunningham addresses the societal barriers that hinder the expression of love, such as judgments, resentments, and limiting beliefs. He advocates for removing these obstacles to foster a more loving and compassionate society. By sharing personal anecdotes and practical advice, he illustrates how individuals can choose to be loving, regardless of external circumstances or the actions of others, thereby creating a "love footprint" that leaves a lasting impact. The discussion delves into the neuroscience behind love, with Dr. Cunningham explaining how the brain is wired for survival and often prioritizes being right over being loving. He suggests that by re-educating the brain to value love above the need to be correct, people can experience greater fulfillment and healthier relationships. This shift in mindset, he argues, is essential for overcoming stress, fear, and the divisiveness that pervades modern society. Dr. Cunningham also explores the challenges of communication, the influence of media, and the importance of setting healthy boundaries while maintaining a loving disposition. He emphasizes that love does not mean tolerating harmful behavior but involves respecting oneself and others. The conversation highlights the significance of language, encouraging listeners to focus on what works and what brings life to the most people, rather than labeling things as simply good or bad. In the latter part of the episode, Dr. Cunningham shares his initiatives to promote love in politics, including sending his book to every member of Congress and launching the "Love Goes to the Capitol" project. He invites others to join him in spreading love through similar acts in their own communities. The episode concludes with an introduction to his transformational program, "The Awakening," and guided meditations designed to help individuals access health, peace, joy, and love, reinforcing the transformative power of adopting love as a way of being.Dr. David Cunningham emphasizes that love is a way of being, not just an emotion, and is central to personal fulfillment and societal well-being.He discusses how judgments, resentments, and limiting beliefs can block love, advocating for their removal to foster compassion.The conversation explores the neuroscience of love, suggesting that re-educating the brain to prioritize love over being right leads to greater happiness.Dr. Cunningham shares his efforts to promote love in politics through initiatives like sending his book to Congress and the "Love Goes to the Capitol" project.The episode concludes with an invitation to transformational experiences and meditations designed to help individuals access deeper states of love and joy. ____________________________________If you're ready to expand your mind, elevate your health, and awaken your full potential, subscribe now and join the revolution in conscious living with The Dr. K Show!____________________________________CONNECT WITH DR.
