In episode 909 of the Savage Perspective Podcast, host Robert Sikes sits down with brain health clinician Stephanie Rimka to explore how screens, poor sleep, processed food, stress, and an overloaded home affect focus, mood, and behavior. Stephanie shares how she uses brain mapping, neurofeedback, nutrition, and family routines to look beyond labels like ADHD and anxiety.
