Ian Franklin-Wilkerson grew up in a family of healers. His mother, Michele Newmark, was a renowned Reichian therapist in San Francisco. His father is a chiropractor. He has ten chiropractors in his extended family. Healing isn’t something Ian chose. It chose him.

But Ian brought something new to the lineage: music. After his uncle Bobby handed him a BC Rich electric guitar at age twelve, Ian fell in love with rock and roll and the way it made him feel. He describes discovering the Beatles, Hendrix, Bob Marley, and feeling “revolution through music, empowerment, sovereignty, righteousness.” That passion led him to Berklee College of Music, where he earned dual degrees in Music Therapy and Songwriting, graduating with honors.

For nearly eighteen years, Ian has been a Board Certified Music Therapist in clinical practice, working across an extraordinary range of populations: children with autism, veterans with PTSD, teens with eating disorders and suicidal ideation, adults with brain injuries, patients in psychiatric acute settings, memory care, hospice, and community wellness. His company employs five music therapists and operates 90% out in the community, traveling into homes, day programs, group homes, neuro rehab clinics, teen treatment facilities, and hospitals.

When his mother passed in 2016, Ian stepped into the breathwork side of his heritage. Her former clients came to him seeking her “flavor, her vibe, her essence.” He realized it was time to fulfill his destiny and carry on the Reichian breathwork tradition, not out of obligation, but out of devotion. Today, he integrates deep mouth-based Reichian breathwork with interactive music therapy to help people release trauma stored in the body’s musculature, what Wilhelm Reich called “body armor.”

In this episode, Ian walks us through the neuroscience of why music activates every region of the brain simultaneously, making it one of the most powerful tools for neuroplasticity and neural priming. He shares a deeply moving ten-year case study of a young man on the autism spectrum who progressed from perseverative scripting to playing four instruments and preparing for independent living. He explains why playfulness and whimsy may be the most underrated clinical tools in healthcare. And he challenges the breathwork community by making a case for intentional mouth breathing as the “get better faster” ingredient that most practitioners are skipping over.

He also leads the GBF crew through a live breathwork exercise that listeners can do anywhere, anytime, right now.

In this transformative episode, we sit down with Daniel R. Tardy, detox and transformational coach, TEDx speaker, and founder of getLIGHT, a global detoxification movement helping people reclaim clarity in mind, body, and spirit.

Daniel shares his fascinating journey from electrical engineer in Iowa to jungle-dwelling health pioneer in Costa Rica. After experiencing his own breakthrough from chronic toxicity to vibrant health, he discovered that true wellness isn't about what you put IN your body but what you're able to get OUT.

We dive deep into the invisible toxins destroying American health, from contaminated water and glyphosate-sprayed foods to the stress of living disconnected from nature's rhythms. Daniel explains why conventional approaches to detox fall short and how his getLIGHT method combines ancient Ayurvedic wisdom with practical protocols that address physical, mental, and spiritual toxicity.

You'll discover why children are developing fatty liver disease, how your liver stores toxins in body fat as protection, and why weight loss without proper detox support can actually recycle toxins through your system. Daniel breaks down the body's natural detoxification pathways and shares how plants growing in your own backyard might be exactly what your body needs.

This conversation challenges everything you've been taught about health. We explore why 100 years of pharmaceutical medicine has made America the sickest nation on earth, how ancient healing traditions have preserved wellness wisdom for millennia, and why nobody is coming to save you but solutions like Daniel's prove you can save yourself.

If you're struggling with chronic fatigue, brain fog, digestive issues, unexplained weight gain, or feeling trapped by conventional medicine, this episode offers a genuine path to transformation through intentional detoxification and alignment with your body's innate intelligence.

Tired of the "dad bod"? Ready to become the superhero your kids need? IFBB Pro Tony Torres joins Dr. Jason Bradley and James Chester for a no-excuses conversation about male transformation.

Tony went from 60 pounds overweight to 4% body fat and became an International Federation of Bodybuilding Pro. Now, as owner of Miami's Iron Temple Gym and creator of the Spartan Body Formula, he transforms fat dads into fit dads in record time. One client lost 17 pounds in just 5 days.

This episode pulls no punches on what's happened to men and why you need to be a "superhero" for your family. Tony reveals his 3M Method: Mindset, Muscles, and Money. The critical triad that creates lasting transformation.

We dive deep into the silent killer of male health: the worldwide crisis of low testosterone and high estrogen levels. You'll discover why men with the lowest T have the highest rates of heart attacks, how to optimize testosterone naturally, and the truth about training, recovery, and carbs around workouts.

Tony shares the secrets bodybuilders know that regular trainers don't. Like why high-glycemic carbs fuel muscle growth, why "three days on, four days off" is keeping you soft, and how your wife looking at the landscaper instead of you is your wake-up call.

From his journey through incarceration to culinary school to the pro stage, Tony proves that excuses are your own. If you can get on the floor, you can do a pushup. If you have ten minutes, you can change your life.

Your kids need you to look like Superman, not grandpa. Are you ready to get your chassis straight for maximum output?
