34: Neuro Healing after Hypoxic-Ischemic Encephalopathy (HIE) with Courtney Mallaly

In episode 34 of The Myohacker Podcast, Karindy speaks with Courtney Mallally, a mother and Craniosacral Fascial Therapy practitioner, about her son Everett’s journey after being diagnosed with hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) following a traumatic birth.   Courtney walks listeners through the early days in the hospital, the devastating prognoses she was given, and the pivotal moment when she chose to hold both hope and responsibility for her son’s healing. From that point forward, she began exploring a more integrative, terrain-based approach to brain recovery; one rooted in ancestral nutrition, intentional movement, connection with nature, nervous system regulation, and hands-on therapies like Craniosacral Fascial Therapy (CFT) and photobiomodulation.   Throughout the conversation, Courtney shares the foundational pillars of her Child Brain Regeneration Protocol, a free resource she created for families navigating pediatric brain injury and developmental challenges. Together, Karindy and Courtney explore feeding and global development considerations, the role of intuition in caregiving, and the emotional reality of parenting a child with complex needs. This conversation offers hope, practical insight, and encouragement for parents to trust their intuition and support the body’s innate design to heal.    Chapters 00:00 Introduction to Courtney's Journey 01:29 Welcoming Courtney Mullaly 02:42 Everett's Birth and Early Challenges 04:39 Mindset Shift and Natural Healing 07:53 Nutrition and the Weston A.
