What if the most powerful breakthroughs in neurological recovery aren’t found inside hospital systems, but in therapies most families never hear about?

In this inspiring episode, Dr. Aaron Hartman shares the remarkable journey of his daughter Anna, who was born with agenesis of the corpus callosum, exposed to crystal meth in utero, and suffered a stroke before birth. Despite a devastating prognosis, Anna has defied every expectation — walking, talking, thriving in school, and living a life defined not by limitations but by possibility.

Drawing on Anna’s transformation, Dr. Hartman explores advanced biohacking strategies that supported her neurological recovery, including hyperbaric oxygen therapy, neuromuscular stimulation, and PEMF therapy. He breaks down how these tools can support healing in conditions such as autism, ADHD, traumatic brain injuries, and stroke — while emphasizing that no advanced therapy can replace foundational lifestyle pillars like nutrition, sleep, movement, and stress regulation.

This episode is both deeply personal and scientifically grounded, offering hope for families navigating complex developmental and neurological conditions.
