In today's conversation, former CFL player Steve White joins the podcast to share the story of how his life unraveled — and how he rebuilt it from the ground up. After years of concussions, post-concussion syndrome, seizures, illness, and personal loss, Steve hit rock bottom. What followed wasn't a recovery, but a full reconstruction: rebuilding his brain, body, and faith through disciplined systems rooted in breath, movement, environment, nutrition, nervous-system regulation, and purpose.
In this conversation, Steve explains how brain injuries reshape emotion and identity, why trust in yourself must be rebuilt deliberately, and how science and faith-based discipline can bring someone back from the edge.
If you want to understand what it takes to come back from neurological collapse and build a life that's stronger than ever, this episode is for you.
This podcast dives into:
How concussions and PCS alter brain health and emotional regulation.

The hidden psychological toll of neurological injury.

Rebuilding self-trust after physical and personal collapse.

The mindset behind the Brae 100 method.

In today's episode, we connect with Dr. Scott Eilers to discuss his upcoming book, The Light Between the Leaves: 6 Truths Your Therapist Won't Tell You About Healing Depression and Trauma, set for release in April 2026. Known as "The Depression Doctor," Dr. Scott is a clinical psychologist who has spent decades working with people whose depression, trauma, and emotional disconnection don't fully respond to conventional approaches.
Drawing from both his professional work and his own lived experience with severe depression and self-isolation, Dr. Scott shares how his healing journey led him beyond traditional therapy models — toward nontraditional paths like reconnecting with nature, rebuilding emotional safety, and addressing the internal systems that quietly block recovery…
This discussion delves into:
Why joy, comfort, and connection can feel inaccessible even when life seems "fine" on the outside.

Why positive moments fade quickly while emotional lows feel permanent.

The hidden patterns that sustain certain forms of depression and trauma.

What actually helps restore emotional connection and long-term healing.

In this episode, we're joined by Dr. Darren Schmidt, a chiropractor who has dedicated his practice exclusively to clinical nutrition and nutritional healing. He is the founder of the Nutritional Healing Center of Ann Arbor and a nationally recognized speaker on chronic illness and metabolic health.
Dr. Schmidt's nontraditional path into healthcare stems from his rejection of conventional medical models that have failed. Drawing from over 30 years of clinical experience, he explains why many people never fully recover from chronic illness — and how addressing cellular function, toxin overload, and nutritional deficiencies can change that…
We also dive into his 2024 book, Optimal Health: The 7 Step System to Transforming Your Health with Nutritional Healing, where he outlines the fundamental causes of chronic disease, including the often-misunderstood difference between detoxification and drainage. Dr. Schmidt breaks down how issues like mold exposure, parasites, mitochondrial dysfunction, and metabolic stress quietly undermine health.
This discussion covers:
What separates Dr. Schmidt from other doctors.

How diet and supplements help people get well.

The unique mechanisms of chronic illness.

The 7-step framework from Optimal Health
