In this wildly eye-opening conversation, Dr. Michaela and vocal alchemist Maryn Azoff dive into the magical, slightly rebellious world of vocal transformation. Think: trauma healing meets rock-star energy (without actually blowing your vocal cords).
They unpack the secret history of the human voice, the science of why sound can crack open emotions you didn’t even know you were storing, and how your breath is basically your built-in healing superpower. From silent screams to primal expression, they explore how using—or reclaiming—your voice can shake loose stuck emotions, unclench old trauma, and connect you to a more powerful, embodied version of yourself.
You’ll walk away with practical tools, aha moments, and permission to make noise… even if it’s the kind only you can hear.

Introducing Dr. Nathan S. Bryan, a pioneer in the field of nitric oxide biology. He holds a PhD in molecular/cellular physiology, has spent over 25 years researching nitric oxide (NO) and its role in human health, and is the founder of technologies and therapies centered on NO.
Today we dive deep into what nitric oxide is, why it matters for cardiovascular, brain, immune and metabolic health, how it declines with age or lifestyle, and actionable steps to restore or optimize it.
What you’ll learn
What exactly nitric oxide is and why some call it “the miracle molecule.”
The two main pathways by which our bodies produce nitric oxide — the enzyme (NOS) pathway and the dietary nitrate→nitrite pathway — and what disrupts them.
Why nitric oxide production declines (age, oxidative stress, lifestyle, oral microbiome, stomach acid, etc.) and what that means for disease risk.
How nitric oxide influences key health systems: blood flow and vascular health, brain/cognitive function, immune defense, mitochondrial health, stem-cell mobilization and more.
Practical strategies: diet, lifestyle, caution with things that disrupt NO (mouthwash, antacids, etc.), and supplementation/technologies that can support it.
Cutting-edge and future directions: regenerative medicine, wound healing, topical NO, etc.
