What You Don’t Know About Alzheimer’s ft. Dr. Harris

#38: What if Alzheimer’s disease isn’t inevitable? In this powerful episode of The Science of Sound, Dr. Paul Harris breaks down what you don’t know about Alzheimer’s, why millions are at risk earlier than they realize, and the science showing that Alzheimer’s may one day be an optional disease. Nearly 7 million Americans are affected today—and that number will double by 2060—yet most people still believe outdated theories about beta-amyloid plaque being the main cause. Dr. Harris reveals what modern research actually shows: insulin resistance, chronic inflammation, toxins, mold exposure, vascular dysfunction, mitochondrial decline, leaky gut, poor sleep, and genetic factors all play major roles. You’ll learn why Alzheimer’s can begin in your 20s, how glucose hypometabolism starves the brain, the link between insulin and plaque buildup, why gut health predicts cognitive health, and what labs can identify risk decades early. Dr. Harris also explains how fasting, ketogenic strategies, ketone supplements, exercise, and mitochondrial repair can support brain function—plus the surprising tests that reveal inflammation, toxins, heavy metals, and APOE status. If you’re searching for Alzheimer’s prevention, reversal protocols, brain optimization, dementia warning signs, ketogenic brain health, or what REALLY causes Alzheimer’s, this episode is an essential guide. 00:00 Introduction 04:12 What Alzheimer’s Really Is 08:35 The Dementia Umbrella Explained 12:44 Glucose, Brain Fuel, and Early Markers 17:03 The Four Stages of Alzheimer’s 21:25 Insulin Resistance & Type 3 Diabetes 25:36 What Actually Causes Plaque Buildup 29:48 Ketones, Diet, and Brain Energy 34:02 Mitochondria and Brain Degeneration 38:15 Chronic Inflammation & Inflammaging 42:27 Gut Health, LPS, and Leaky Brain 46:51 Toxins, Mold, and Environmental Exposure 51:03 Vascular Dysfunction & Brain Flow 55:28 Hormones, Thyroid, and Cognitive Decline 59:40 Chronic Infections and Neuroinflammation 1:03:22 Sleep, Glymphatic Flow & Brain Cleanup 1:08:14 Genetics, APOE4 & Risk Factors 1:12:48 Testing, Prevention, and Practical Takeaways Reach Dr. Harris: Call (918)551-6600, and ask for Debbie or Stephanie Follow Soaak & The Science of Sound Podcast: Website – Soaak Technologies App – Soaak Frequency Therapy Instagram – @thesoaakpodcast Sponsors: Visit soaak.com/app and enter code Soaakpod for your first month free!

How Knowing Your Type Changes Everything – Tracy O'Malley Pt. 2

#37: In this powerful Part 2, Enneagram expert Tracy O’Malley returns to reveal Henry’s Enneagram results live on the show—and it turns out they share the exact same type. Together they unpack what it really means to be an Enneagram 8: the Challenger. From strength, power, and independence to vulnerability, tenderness, and compassion, this conversation is a masterclass in how self-awareness can transform your leadership, marriage, parenting, and spiritual life. Tracy breaks down the three centers of intelligence (head, heart, and gut), explains why so many online Enneagram tests are inaccurate, and shows how your “superpower” can easily become your kryptonite when your motives are rooted in fear, shame, or ego. Henry and Tracy talk about flexing for the wrong reasons, how trauma can drive overachievement, how to recognize unhealthy patterns before you burn out, and why understanding your type can heal generational patterns in your family. Whether you’re a business leader, parent, or someone hungry for growth, this episode gives you language, tools, and a roadmap to live more aligned with how God designed you. 00:00 Introduction 02:19 Why Part 2 Matters and Recap of Tracy’s Story 04:39 Henry Takes the Enneagram: Test Setup and Accuracy 06:58 Revealing Henry’s Enneagram Type 8 Results 09:18 The Three Centers of Intelligence Explained 11:37 Inside the Challenger: Strength, Power, and Vulnerability 13:57 Mother Teresa, MLK, Trump: The Range of Type 8 16:16 When Flexing Becomes Kryptonite for Enneagram 8s 18:36 The Marathon Story: Coping, Control, and Nervous System 20:55 Letting God Deadbolt Doors vs Forcing Outcomes 23:15 Parenting as an Eight: Seeing Your Kids as They Are 25:34 How Tracy’s Son Became Her Greatest Teacher 27:54 Using the Enneagram to Heal Generational Patterns 30:13 Business, Miscommunication, and Enneagram in Teams 32:33 Faith, Sobriety, and Rewriting Your Story with Type 8 34:52 Tools, Blueprints, and Working with Tracy O’Malley 37:12 Integrating Enneagram Awareness into Daily Life 39:31 Closing Thoughts and How to Connect with Tracy Follow Tracy O’Malley: Instagram - @tracy_omalley Website - https://tracyomalley.com Follow Soaak & The Science of Sound Podcast: Website – Soaak Technologies App – Soaak Frequency Therapy Instagram – @thesoaakpodcast Sponsors: Visit soaak.com/app and enter code Soaakpod for your first month free!

Mindset, Strategy & Success in Real Estate with Taylor Bay

#36: Top-100 Tulsa realtor Taylor Bay joins Madi (with a cameo from Henry) to talk mindset, strategy, and sustainable success in a saturated market. Taylor shares how service, clear communication, staging details, and consistency built her business over 10 years—while balancing life as a working mom. We get into: guarding your energy, moving on from setbacks, showing up professionally (inside and out), time-blocking for family, the 10,000-hour reality behind “overnight success,” and why a servant’s heart wins more than hustle alone. Beyond the headlines, we get practical: cutting the noise in a crowded space, pre-framing expectations with clients, simple staging wins that move listings faster, and what “professional energy” looks like day to day. Taylor opens up about starting from zero, riding market cycles without burning out, and the small systems—follow-up rhythms, daily prep, and family-first time blocks—that compound over a decade. Whether you’re in real estate or any service business, you’ll leave with mindset shifts, tactical takeaways, and a reminder that excellence and kindness are a winning strategy. 00:00 Introduction 02:00 Meet the Guest – Realtor Taylor Bay 04:00 Guarding Energy & Staying Drama-Free 06:40 Early Beginnings & First Steps into Real Estate 08:20 Taking the Leap of Faith & Finding Confirmation 10:40 Speaking What You Want Into Existence 12:20 Overcoming Fear & Building a Career on Commission 14:40 Emotional Intelligence in Client Care 17:00 Seasons of Growth & Handling Overwhelm 19:40 Balancing Motherhood & a Demanding Career 21:00 The 10,000-Hour Reality Behind Success 23:20 Clarity, Expectations & Professional Excellence 25:00 Showing Up Every Day & Feeling Professional 28:00 The Energy You Bring Changes the Room 30:00 Service-Based Mindset vs Sales Mindset 32:20 Going the Extra Mile & Servant Leadership 34:40 Lessons from Family & Learning to Let Go 38:00 Faith, Family, & Finding Purpose Through Challenges 42:00 Marriage, Mindset & Choosing Peace 45:20 Rapid-Fire Reflections & Closing Thoughts Follow Taylor Bay: Instagram: @linenginger Website: https://tbay.ccoklahoma.com/   Follow Soaak & Sound Living With Madi: Website – Soaak Technologies App – Soaak Frequency Therapy Instagram – @thesoaakpodcast Madi’s Instagram – @madisonfournier_ Sponsors: Visit soaak.com/app and enter code Soaakpod for your first month free!

Breaking the Cycle of Stress: How Your Mind Rewires Your Immune System

#35: 2025’s Nobel Prize in Physiology/Medicine puts regulatory T cells (Tregs) and the FOXP3 gene center stage—and in this episode, Christian Fowler joins host Aaron Fournier to connect that discovery to everyday tools that lower stress and inflammation. We break down how IL-10 from Tregs crosses the blood–brain barrier to reduce neuroinflammation, why chronic stress down-regulates FOXP3 (and Tregs), and how mindset, vagal tone, sleep, sunlight, movement, and targeted sound (like 528 Hz) can help flip you from fight-or-flight into rest-and-digest. We also discuss studies showing Treg expansion reduces anxiety-like behavior, brief/acute stress boosts dopamine and learning, and chronic stress suppresses immune tolerance—plus practical “wins” (make your bed, humming, Mindful Intentions) that build resilience daily. 🔬 Studies & Resources Mentioned: 1.
