Lorraine Driscoll is a new kind of therapist that is breaking rules in the best way— and that’s exactly why her work is helping kids who’ve fallen through the cracks of the traditional system.

Lorraine is the founder of Building Better Brains Learning Clinic, an educational therapist, functional health practitioner, and former teacher who takes a true root-cause approach to learning, attention, and self-regulation challenges. Instead of relying on labels, endless tutoring, IEPs, or medication alone, she looks at what’s actually going on in the brain and body — from gut health and toxin load to weak neural connections and nervous system regulation.

In this conversation, we talk about why so many kids are working way too hard just to learn, why more support isn’t always better support, and how optimizing brain function can change everything — not just grades, but confidence, behavior, and emotional regulation.

Topics we cover include:– Why learning struggles aren’t just academic– The gut–brain–behavior connection– When IEPs and tutoring help — and when they limit progress– How brain-based exercises support neurodevelopment– What “self-regulation” really means and how to build it

Lorraine also shares her Regulated Learner Brain Kit, a free resource for parents that includes nutrition tips, brain exercises, and a class explaining the underlying causes — and real solutions — to learning and behavior challenges. (Secret tip, her work isn’t just for kids. 😉)

You can learn more about Lorraine and her work at Building Better Brains Learning Clinic and find her on Instagram, Facebook, and YouTube.

In this episode we dive into Breaking Big Food, a compelling look at how the modern food system in America got so broken — and what it means for our health. I’m joined by producers Ashley Leroux and Patrick Sullivan, who are not only key voices behind the film but also owners of Jigsaw Health, makers of high-quality magnesium and mineral supplements that support metabolic and overall health.

We talk about the inspiration for the film, what they uncovered about Big Food’s influence on policy and public health, and why grassroots food solutions and metabolic health matter more than ever. Whether you’ve seen the documentary or are curious what all the conversation is about, this is a conversation about systems, incentives, and what real change looks like.

Breaking Big Food is available to stream now on Apple TV and Amazon Prime Video, and for a limited time you can watch the full documentary online at BreakingBigFood.com. (Jigsaw Health)

Stay tuned at the end of the episode for the official trailer to the documentary.
