Concern about self‑fulfilling prophecy: Looking at poor data → expecting to feel bad → noticing every symptom [00:10:20] Upcoming Classes & Events at Nutrition World [00:19:53] Clubfoot Story & Medical System Lessons Guest: Kady Kuhlman (Ed’s daughter) Topic: Clubfoot and local treatment issues Ed’s “purple car” analogy: Once you experience something (clubfoot), you start seeing it everywhere Grandson: Born 5 months prior Had one club foot, no prenatal scan had detected it Only one local doctor treats clubfoot Orthopedic specialist but does not meet standard Kady later discovered Standard protocol started: Weekly casting from 3 weeks old After adequate correction: Achilles tendon clip (heel cord release) Then move into boots and bar brace (“barbaric”, archaic‑looking) Severe Problems with Boots & Bars  In severe pain with the boots and bars Alternated holding him all night for ~5 days Crying was intense, body weakening, frightening Katie’s intuition realized: “This is not right”, went online for answers Joined “Clubfoot Mamas (US)” Facebook group (~29,000 members) Posted: Foot photos Brace photos Timing of surgery, casting details Responses (~50 comments in 15 minutes): Foot was not ready for bracing Correction inadequate Braces old style and poorly fitted Advice: remove braces immediately, find a new specialist Katie removed brace and never put it back on Continuing with original doctor likely would have: Prevented normal walking Caused chronic pain or permanent disability Broader lesson: Social media can provide life‑saving peer support Use ** condition‑specific groups** for guidance [00:26:35] Finding the Right Clubfoot Specialist in Atlanta Consensus recommendation: Dr. Dana O. (Osolowsky) at CHOA Scottish Rite Dr. Dana’s findings: Foot likely needed surgery again She always does Achilles clip under anesthesia Current protocol: 3 weeks in cast (standard of care) Then single‑leg brace (no bar between feet) Allows freer leg movement More modern design Takeaways on Medicine & Advocacy Need to question local options Willingness to call out substandard care The medical system also provided the solution (via a better doctor) Shows importance of seeking second opinions [00:31:54] Medicinal Mushrooms  Revolutionary” when used correctly. Medicinal mushrooms for: Immune support Cold/flu resistance Anti‑aging Meet & Greet with Tom Dadant Ed calls him a world‑class expert in holistic nutritional medicine Event: Date: Tuesday, February 17 Time: 2:30–3:30 pm Location: Nutrition World [00:37:12] BrainWorks Neurofeedback – Framing the Need for Brain Support  Introduces: James from BrainWorks New practitioner at The Wellness Corner next to Nutrition World What Is Neurofeedback? : Uses Lens Neurofeedback: Low Energy Neurofeedback System Differences vs traditional neurofeedback: Traditional: ~40–60 sessions for meaningful change Lens: Often 5–15 sessions can yield major improvements Neurofeedback: Uses a device to monitor brain waves Feeds information back to the brain to support regulation Traditional: Acts like a mirror—brain “sees” itself and self‑adjusts Lens: Sends a tiny electromagnetic pulse to disrupt stuck patterns Brain then chooses healthier patterns James’s intake approach: Avoids “I can’t do X” framing Asks: “If you were at optimal levels, what would you be doing?” Begins brain training with positive visualization Price: $125 per session Typical number of sessions: James usually asks for up to 15 Sometimes sees sufficient change by 3–5 sessions and leaves further choice to client Does not sell packages (no lock‑in)  Personal story, James shares: Formerly had intense road‑rage swearing (kids carried a tip jar “swear jar” in the car) Started neurofeedback primarily for PTSD Unexpected benefit: Swearing and reactivity in traffic dropped dramatically Kids’ “tip jar income” plummeted Illustrates: Neurofeedback changes in one area often cascade into other behaviors  Why James Got into Neurofeedback Refusal to accept bleak diagnoses for his children Standard treatment path: Multiple antipsychotic medications in sequence Often leads to prison, ~20‑year shorter life expectancy James: Researched neurofeedback (initially skeptical) Found strong scientific evidence Bought his own unit, self‑taught, and created custom protocols Results: Children now have normal lives Underlying ADHD emerged, which he also manages with neurofeedback [00:50:24] Who Neurofeedback Can Help Use Cases & Conditions Athletes (including soccer players in Europe) for: Better mind‑body integration Improved decision‑making Enhanced hand‑eye coordination Mental health & behavior: PTSD, anxiety, depression ADHD Addictions Eating disorders Autism (for improved functionality, not cure) General optimization: People who are not in crisis but want to perform better and feel calmer/clearer Lens is also used for: Horses, dogs, cats Improvement in animals validates: Results not explained by placebo alone Logistics & Contact Location:BrainWorks in The Wellness Corner next to Nutrition World Phone:(762) 325‑9797 Website:brainwerx.com (spelled brainwerx, with “werx”) [00:58:21] Colonoscopies, Gut Health & Protecting the Microbiome Ed discusses concerns with standard colonoscopy prep: Bowel prep strips protective mucus Wipes out beneficial gut bacteria Weakens gut defenses when they’re needed most Up to ~50% experience: Bloating, abdominal pain, digestive distress for weeks after Recommendations: Split‑dose prep: Ask GI doctor about this gentler approach Request carbon dioxide inflation instead of room air: Cleaner gas; may reduce discomfort and exposure Pay attention to disinfectant used on scopes: Some commonly used agents are more toxic Probiotic strategy: Start quality probiotics about a week before procedure Resume after GI gives the okay Big picture: Colonoscopies can be lifesaving But you should still: Ask informed questions Support your microbiome Recognize that the system has gaps, so self‑advocacy matters [01:00:49] Closing Remarks  The post Radio Show / Podcast – February 15, 2026 first appeared on Vital Health Radio.
