    Neurotechnology - The Resilience, Performance, and Rehabilitation Solution for Military, Veterans, and Their Families
    Over the past decade, the first treatment response for the military and veteran epidemic of sleep disorders, traumatic brain injury, post-traumatic stress, mental health, and suicide prevention has been pharmaceuticals which are ineffective and have long-lasting negative side effects. At present, the suicide rate among veterans is 23 lives a day; sleep disorders among active duty is above 54%, and the most common pharmaceuticals used for mental health and sleep disorders are both highly addictive and proven to do permanent harm. The only effective, drug-free solutions to address all of these life-debilitating physiological and psychological issues, are non-invasive neurotechnologies. U.S. military veteran, tactical, defense and performance expert, and motivational speaker Fara Eve Barnes is on a mission to rapidly implement neurotechnology solutions for defense and tactical applications within the defense, military, veteran, and law enforcement populations. Join Alex Doman and his guest Fara Eve Barnes as they discuss the role of neurotechnology in defense and tactical applications for resilience, performance and rehabilitation including: implementing an advanced training model beyond the current elite mental and physical strength and extreme endurance paradigm. accelerated learning for advanced skills training. real-time evaluation and improvement of individual and team tactical performance, leadership, and deadly force decision making (DFDM). resilience against and recovery from traumatic brain injury (TBI), post-traumatic stress (PTS), sleep disorders, suicide, and more. non-pharmaceutical solutions offering military and their families, and veterans mobile neurotechnology hardware, software and apps with customized training and personalized programs to use in the convenience of their home or work, out in the field, and down range for optimal resilience, performance, and recovery.

    Disconnected Kids, Reconnected Kids
    Each year, increasing numbers of children are being diagnosed with autism, ADHD, dyslexia, learning disabilities and other neurological disorders. Parents are bombarded by different theories as to the causes of their child’s difficulties, and often confused by the many approaches offered to help them manage or overcome, behavioral, emotional, learning, and social challenges. Dr. Robert Melillo has spent much of his career researching the underlying causes of neurobehavioral disorders. This work led him to suggest a concept called functional disconnection that he and his colleagues suggest may be the primary issue in most learning disabilities and behavioral disorders. Join host Alex Doman and his guest Dr. Melillo as they discuss neurological disorders in childhood, functional disconnection, and drug-free treatment options intended to help both children and adults improve brain function.

    Brain Maker: The Power of Gut Microbes to Heal and Protect Your Brain- For Life
    Debilitating brain disorders are on the rise-from children diagnosed with autism and ADHD to adults developing dementia at younger ages than ever before. But a medical revolution is underway that can solve this problem: Astonishing new research is revealing that the health of your brain is, to an extraordinary degree, dictated by the state of your microbiome - the vast population of organisms that live in your body and outnumber your own cells ten to one. What's taking place in your intestines today is determining your risk for any number of brain-related conditions. In his latest book Brain Maker, the New York Times # 1 bestselling author of Grain Brain uncovers the powerful role of gut bacteria in determining your brain's destiny. Neurologist David Perlmutter, MD explains the potent interplay between intestinal microbes and the brain, describing how the microbiome develops from birth and evolves based on lifestyle choices, how it can become "sick," and how nurturing gut health through a few easy strategies can alter your brain's destiny for the better. With simple dietary recommendations and a highly practical program of six steps to improving gut ecology, BRAIN MAKER opens the door to unprecedented brain health potential. Join host Alex Doman and David Perlmutter as they discuss Brain Maker, brain disorders, and how to open the door to brain health. Brain Maker is now the #1 brain health book in America (Amazon).

    Autism: Identifying the Biochemical Fingerprint
    Accumulating evidence has demonstrated that autism is often characterized by complex abnormalities such as oxidative stress, mitochondrial dysfunction, inflammation, certain genetic abnormalities, exposure(s) to environmental toxicants, immunological abnormalities, infections, and in some cases, developmental regression and seizures. These abnormalities may contribute to the symptoms of autism, such as sleep problems, obsessive behavior, speech delay, impaired social interaction, self-stimulatory behavior, hyperactivity, inattention, and abnormal gastrointestinal findings. Many children with autism have a unique combination of these abnormalities and may possess some or all of these problems simultaneously. The early identification of these abnormalities helps clinicians and parents to choose the most effective treatment options. Dr. Rossignol's aim is to identify the unique biochemical abnormalities that each individual possesses (e.g., the biochemical fingerprint) and works to create the most effective treatments for these abnormalities using evidence-based medicine principles. Join host Alex Doman and Dr. Dan Rossignol as they discuss the latest biomedical research in the autism field, his approach toward individualized treatment, and efforts to prepare other medical professionals to deliver the best possible care to children with autism through the Medical Academy of Pediatric Special Needs (MAPS).
