In this episode of the Beautifully Broken Podcast, I sit down with Justin Ballard, founder of Rewriting the Narrative and one of the most grounded, science-savvy voices in the frequency medicine space. After facing his own spiral into mold illness and neurological dysfunction, including short-term memory loss and paralyzing brain fog, Justin turned his engineering mind toward healing the body’s bioelectric system.

We unpack the deep connection between minerals, EMFs, intracellular communication, and the body's detox pathways. Justin shares how he uses tools like photobiomodulation, biofeedback, and energetic resonance to bring the body back online. He also walks us through case studies, from emotional trauma releases to restoring memory in real-time using his neurofrequency protocols.

This conversation is equal parts science and soul, a fascinating look at how we can use physics, light, and intention to reclaim our health from the inside out.

Welcome to a brand new year on the Beautifully Broken Podcast. In this solo episode, I’m reflecting on what mattered most in 2025 and what I’m bringing into 2026 with intention and clarity. I talk about the frustrations I’ve felt with the wellness world’s obsession with quick-fix marketing, and how that led me back to the basics: digestion, cellular health, nervous system regulation, and real human connection.

You’ll hear the most impactful changes I made, like dialing back my supplements, leaning into bioavailable fats, ditching Amazon for Fullscript, and embracing "the year of the gases" with nanobubbled oxygen and Brown's gas. I share how I built a community around healing, hosted my first wellness event, and finally brought the Biological Blueprint Academy to life. This is a behind-the-scenes look at the principles that grounded me and the practices that restored me. And yes, it’s all rooted in love, curiosity, and cellular integrity.

Episode Highlights

[00:00] – Kicking off 2026 and calling out the marketing noise in the wellness world
[02:00] – Simplifying supplements: how lab work shaped a leaner, smarter stack
[03:50] – Fullscript vs Amazon: why sourcing and quality control matter
[05:30] – Mago7, digestion, and the real-life wins that come from getting “regular”
[06:45] – The year of gases: hydrogen, Brown’s gas, oxygen baths, and what really helped my sleep
[10:12] – Building therapies into daily life without stealing time
[12:35] – CO₂ tolerance and breathing into cognitive clarity
[14:00] – Beam Minerals and foundational mineral support
[15:25] – Living the work: grounding, breathwork, cold exposure, red light, and temperature as medicine
[17:51] – Genetics, mold sensitivity, and why foundational awareness is so powerful
[20:14] – South Austin Wellness Project: hosting my first healing community event
[22:36] – Access, advocacy, and why sharing healing tools is a mission, not a market
[24:55] – New website, Substack migration, and podcast episode mini-pages
[26:00] – A manifesto for 2026: depth over drip, principles over protocols
[27:11] – The podcast as discovery: why this journey means everything to me

In this powerful conversation, I’m joined by Dr. Chad Zawitz, a physician who spent over two decades delivering frontline medical care inside one of the largest urban jail systems in the country. Dr. Zawitz pulls back the curtain on carceral healthcare, explaining the critical differences between jail and prison, the constitutional right to medical care for incarcerated individuals, and why many patients actually experience better measurable health outcomes while locked up.

We spend significant time unpacking the evolution of HIV treatment, from the early days of fear and stigma to today’s extraordinary advances, including long-acting injectable antivirals and the game-changing reality that people with undetectable viral loads cannot transmit HIV. Dr. Zawitz explains why, with proper access and adherence, HIV could be effectively eliminated within a single generation, without a cure or vaccine.

This episode also explores stigma, language, trauma, addiction, and the power of treating people like human beings. From stories inside the jail to reflections on COVID, public health messaging, and medical ethics, this conversation is a reminder that healing doesn’t begin with protocols, it begins with compassion.
