Episode 115: Dr Sergio Maldonado

Regenerative Medicine for Lyme Disease: A New Path to Healing

Healing Beyond Conventional Care with Dr. Sergio Maldonado

In this episode of Bioenergetics Beat, host Heather Gray, sits down with Dr. Sergio Maldonado, a senior regenerative physician at a holistic clinic in Vallarta, Mexico. He talks about chronic Lyme disease, post-treatment Lyme syndrome, medical tourism in Mexico, and advanced therapies like plasmapheresis, bee venom, stem cells, and ozone IV.

Dr. Sergio shares how his experience in traditional hospital systems in both the U.S. and Mexico, especially during COVID, pushed him toward regenerative medicine, holistic care, and medical tourism. He explains why so many people with chronic Lyme disease and post-treatment Lyme disease syndrome feel failed by conventional protocols and travel internationally to seek more comprehensive, individualized care.

Together, Heather and Dr. Sergio explore what regenerative medicine really is, how it differs from standard approaches, and the multi-layered, root-cause strategy his team uses to support patients with Lyme, long COVID, complex chronic illness, and advanced conditions like cancer and congenital heart disease.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode

How medical tourism in Mexico provides access to regenerative therapies that are often restricted, unavailable, or unaffordable in the U.S. and Canada

What regenerative medicine really is and why it’s frequently misunderstood or not covered by insurance

Why Lyme disease and co-infections (Borrelia, Babesia, Bartonella, and others) are so difficult to diagnose and fully resolve

The difference between acute Lyme treatment and post-treatment Lyme disease syndrome

How Lyme can disrupt DNA expression, immune regulation, nerves, hormones, joints, and organs, leading to long-term chronic symptoms

Why antibiotics alone are often not enough for chronic or post-Lyme cases

How regenerative therapies aim to repair tissue damage, regulate the immune system, and reduce chronic inflammation

The limitations of conventional, insurance-driven healthcare for complex chronic illness

Why Lyme is multi-layered, involving infection, autoimmunity, nervous system damage, and hormonal disruption

The importance of customized, evolving treatment protocols tailored to each patient

Connect with Dr. Sergio & the Clinic

To learn more about Dr. Sergio’s work, available therapies, and options for Lyme treatment, post-Lyme syndrome, long COVID, cancer support, and other complex conditions, please refer to the clinic website. Video consultations may be available for initial questions and case review, with in-person care recommended for full protocols.

Episode 114: Kristina Amelong

Constipation, Coffee Enemas & Mineral Testing: Healing the Gut from the Bottom

Up with Kristina Amelong

If you’ve ever wondered whether constipation, coffee enemas, or mineral imbalances

could be behind your fatigue, brain fog, or chronic illness, this episode is for you.

Heather Gray sits down with colon hydrotherapist and Optimal Health Network founder

Kristina Tahel Amelong, who has spent nearly three decades helping people heal their

gut, support detox, and restore energy using tools like colon hydrotherapy, enemas,

coffee enemas, and hair tissue mineral analysis (HTMA).

Kristina shares how her own chronic illness led her to open a colon hydrotherapy clinic,

build a global online wellness business, and develop time-tested protocols for people

dealing with constipation, Candida, Lyme disease, cancer, prostate issues, hormonal

imbalances, thyroid and adrenal dysfunction, and more.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

• Why constipation is a major, overlooked health issue and how infrequent bowel

movements impact detoxification, hormones, energy, and inflammation.

• Coffee Enemas 101: what they are, how they differ from drinking coffee, and why

they boost glutathione, support liver detox, improve bile flow, reduce pain, and

aid deep healing.

• How to do a coffee enema safely: why you must empty the colon first, how to

avoid reabsorbing toxins, and the importance of mold-free coffee, clean

equipment, and proper tubing care.

• Constipation relief & detox support at home: how enemas and coffee enemas

offer affordable, accessible tools for improving elimination, reducing symptoms,

and supporting the body’s natural detox pathways.

• Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (HTMA): what it reveals about mineral status, heavy

metals, thyroid and adrenal function, inflammation, and hormone balance—plus

why HTMA offers a clearer long-term picture than blood tests.

• Aluminum toxicity & brain health: common exposure sources, how aluminum

contributes to brain fog and dementia risk, and how detoxing metals can improve

cognition, sleep, and hormone balance.

• Hormone balance through minerals: how zinc-to-copper ratios can reflect

estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone issues, and how mineral-based

protocols support both men and women through hormonal challenges.

• Hope for chronic illness: why the body can heal with the right tools, and how

restoring the colon’s mucosal barrier with essential oils and suppositories

supports those with Lyme and other chronic conditions.

Kristina Tahel Amelong is a colon hydrotherapist and the founder of Optimal Health

Network, where she has spent over 27 years working with clients both in-clinic and

globally via phone consultations. She has developed specialized protocols focused on:

• Colon hydrotherapy & enema therapy

• Coffee enemas and at-home detox tools

• Hair tissue mineral analysis interpretation

Kristina is also the author of “10 Days to Optimal Health” and has created extensive

written and video education to help people safely use enemas and coffee enemas at

home.

Episode 113: Lori Clemmons

Rewire Your Wellness: Self-Compassion and Limbic System Retraining

In this heart-centered conversation, Heather Gray sits down with Lori Clemmons, neural retraining coach and author of Rewire Your Wellness, to talk about how self-compassion and limbic system retraining can transform the healing journey for people living with chronic illness, mold illness, and nervous system dysregulation.

Lori shares her powerful story of going from thriving to bedbound for a year and a half, sleeping 20 hours a day, and collecting diagnoses like chronic fatigue syndrome, lupus, celiac disease, chemical sensitivity, and mold-related illness. Despite “normal” labs and doctors telling her to “learn to live with it,” her symptoms persisted, and even followed her to a brand-new, mold-free home.

Everything shifted when Lori discovered neuroplasticity and limbic system (neural) retraining. By changing her self-talk, lowering her chronic stress response, and practicing compassionate awareness, she gradually calmed her overactive nervous system, and within about 10 months, she was able to walk a 5K for the first time in her life.

What you will learn:

Lori’s 27-year chronic illness journey

What limbic system / neural retraining actually is

Compassionate Self-Coaching: Lori’s core framework

Compassionate Awareness

Self-Coaching

Self-Care (Practical Steps)

Why “just get over it” doesn’t work for trauma & chronic illness

Feeding what you want to grow

Practical awareness tools for everyday life

Reframing your relationship with your body

Celebrating tiny moments of joy

Rewire Your Wellness by Lori Clemmons

Throughout the conversation, Heather also highlights the importance of having tools that support your nervous system so you’re not pushing the healing boulder uphill all by yourself. The NIKKI wearable is one such tool, designed to deliver supportive frequencies for:

Vagus Nerve Support

Stress Relief

Emotional Balance and Nervous System Regulation

Lori is the author of Rewire Your Wellness and offers both personal and group coaching for those ready to move out of survival mode and toward peace, purpose, and wellness.

In this powerful episode of Bioenergetics Beats, host Heather Gray sits down with Dana Hargus, licensed mental health counsellor and founder of Restore of Ada, to explore how biofeedback and neurofeedback are transforming mental health, trauma recovery, and nervous system regulation. If you’ve ever felt stuck in fight-or-flight mode, hit a healing plateau, or wondered how to reset your nervous system, this conversation is a must-listen.

Dana shares her journey from special education teacher and adoptive mom to neurofeedback practitioner after seeing the limitations and sometimes harm, of traditional mental health medications. Her son’s remarkable transformation through consistent brain training revealed the life-changing potential of this non-invasive approach.

Dana breaks down how neurofeedback works, using real-time brainwave monitoring and visual feedback to retrain the brain toward calm and regulation. This subconscious process helps reduce chronic stress, anxiety, and trauma responses, often leading to rapid improvements in sleep, focus, emotional control, and overall resilience.

Drawing inspiration from Dr. Carolyn Leaf’s research, Dana highlights how our thoughts can directly shape our biochemistry. By learning to shift thought patterns and reframe emotional experiences, listeners can profoundly influence their physical and mental wellness.

Key Takeaways

• Biofeedback retrains the brain to self-regulate, reduce stress, and improve mental clarity.
• Healing requires a multi-layered approach—addressing nutrition, lifestyle, and emotional regulation.
• Thoughts shape biochemistry—shifting your focus can transform your physiology.
• Nervous system healing creates space and resilience for real life to happen with grace.

About Restore of Ada and Restore Plus

Dana’s programs: Restore of Ada and Restore Plus, offer both in-person and online nervous system reset options.

• Restore of Ada is an immersive two-week experience that combines biofeedback, PEMF, HRV training, and nutritional guidance.
• Restore Plus, a $7/month membership, provides accessible tools, live tapping sessions, and group support for continued nervous system healing from home.

Episode 111: Katie Wells

Nature as Medicine: Fixing Nature Deficit Disorder

Nature Deficit Disorder - why sunlight, grounding and minerals often beat “biohacks”

Heather sits down with longtime friend and “wellness mama” Katie Wells to unpack Nature Deficit Disorder - the modern drift away from sunlight, earth, water, and real human connection. Katie shares how decades of research, motherhood, and her own reversal of Hashimoto’s reframed health from “biochemical first” to bioelectrical first: support voltage, circadian rhythm, minerals, and community…then layer smart tools like NIKKI.

Top takeaways

Community is a health input. Post-pandemic loneliness is a major risk factor; Katie built a brick-and-mortar wellness hub that pairs modalities (sauna, yoga) with real-world connection - “Vitamin H (humans).”

You are your primary provider. Moms (and motivated patients) often become better researchers than anyone else. Bring experts in as partners, but stay in the driver’s seat.

Bioelectrical > biochemical (upstream vs downstream). Cellular communication is voltage-gated; light, grounding, water, and minerals are the “conductors” that make everything else work.

Morning & midday sun are medicine. Early natural light sets cortisol/melatonin and stabilizes circadian rhythm; healthy midday sun supports nitric oxide, mitochondria, and mineral usage. Aim for exposure without burning.

Minerals make you conductive. Electrolytes (especially sodium, potassium, magnesium) are crucial for sodium-potassium pumps and cellular signalling. Quality matters, choose clean, tested salts and avoid excess iodine unless advised.

Foundations first; biohacks second. Grounding, sunrise light, breathing, real food, sleep, movement, and safe nervous-system signals amplify everything else, including wearables and supplements.

Mindset shifts biology. Reframing symptoms as communication (not “my body is attacking me”) helps the nervous system downshift into safety and supports healing.

Memorable quotes

“At the end of the day, we are each our own primary healthcare provider.” - Katie

“Most ‘biohacks’ are imperfect attempts to mimic nature.” - Katie

“When the body feels safe and gets the right inputs, it knows how to heal.” - Katie

Episode 110: Mindy Gorman-Plutzer. Food Freedom and the Body's Innate Wisdom

Midlife Metamorphosis with Mindy Gorman-Plutzer

Award-winning coach and author Mindy Gorman-Plutzer joins Heather Gray to unpack how women can transform their relationship with food and body during perimenopause, menopause, and beyond. From dismantling diet-culture myths to healing the gut and rebuilding self-trust, Mindy shares her 4R Freedom Method, a functional, compassionate roadmap to feeling lighter in body and life.

You’ll learn

What “midlife metamorphosis” really means and why it starts with self-worth, not willpower.

Diet-culture lies to ditch (e.g., “all foods fit” and “everything in moderation” for everyone).

Mindful eating, redefined: presence over obsession, how to actually feel “enough” and stop when you’re satisfied.

The gut–brain–hormone connection: why chronic dieting and disordered patterns often leave digestive fallout (bloat, irregularity, inflammation).

Functional testing as a compass: how tools like GI-MAP and Gut Zoomer plus targeted genetics can guide a truly bio-individual plan.

The 4R Freedom Method: Recognize, Reject/Release, Reclaim, and Radically Accept.

Body goals without shame: pursuing strength and leanness while honoring biology and individuality.

How to quiet the inner critic and tune in to inner wisdom.

Longevity Myths, Healthspan, and AI-Powered Preventive Care with Hunter Ziesing

Former elite cyclist and longevity entrepreneur Hunter Ziesing joins Heather Gray to unpack common longevity myths, why “healthspan” matters more than lifespan, and how data-driven testing (DEXA, VO₂ max, CGM, gut microbiome, and sleep studies) plus human-in-the-loop AI can personalize preventive care. They also discuss behavior change, conflicting health advice, and practical ways to build a foundation before “biohacking.”

Key Takeaways:

• Healthspan > Lifespan: The goal isn’t just living longer; it’s staying functional and resilient for more years.
• The three big problems in longevity today: too much advice, conflicting guidance, and limited medical support for functional tests.
• Foundations First: Before advanced “biohacks,” prioritize sleep, movement, nutrition, stress regulation, and consistent habits.
• Data Guides the Plan: Core tests like DEXA (bone density & visceral fat), VO₂ max, comprehensive bloodwork, gut microbiome, CGM, and sleep studies provide actionable baselines.
• One-Size-Fits-None: Conflicting online advice improves when filtered through your personal data, history, and goals.
• Human + AI: AI can summarize labs and suggest next steps, while clinicians ensure safety, context, and accountability.
• Behavior Change Works: Small incentives and clear targets (e.g., 150 minutes/week of elevated heart rate) can consistently move the needle.
