Dr. Sammy Oh is a Doctor of Natural Medicine who has been working with various brain imbalances using advanced technologies for over 16 years.
Growing up with an older brother with a brain injury, she has been interested in brain functions and their effects on life since young.
She and her team are dedicated to helping people who suffer from brainwave imbalances quickly and painlessly, thanks to the state of brain care technologies.
Today we discuss how brain technology and EMPower Plus are changing patients' lives.
Okay,
good morning,
Dr.
O.
Welcome to True Hope Cast.
How are you feeling today?
Not bad.
We don't have rain,
we don't have snow,
and weather is really nice.
I learned to be grateful after pandemic,
so it's a great day today.
Wonderful.
I'm very glad to hear that.
That's definitely a very positive reflection over
the last couple of years.
Just as an introduction,
would you mind giving us a little bit of
information about who you are,
what you do?
Well,
I'm the founder of Bioscan Wellness Center.
I've been practicing over 16 years.
And I'm a doctor of natural medicine,
board-certified biofeedback specialist.
We help children with learning difficulties like
ADD,
ADHD,
autism,
or post-concussive symptoms.
That's our expertise.
Amazing.
And why children?
Well,
I'm a doctor of natural medicine,
board-certified biofeedback specialist.
Well,
in our wellness center,
we help everybody.
We have seniors,
we have women,
we have hormone issues,
we have Hashimoto's,
autoimmunes.
But eventually,
as I'm practicing more,
it goes into who I want to help more or feel
more rewarded.
Children,
I had a problem.
With my son,
when he was young,
he still is.
He suffered from certain conditions,
which I can explain maybe later on.
So we had our family had a lot of brain issues.
My older brother,
two years older than me,
who is now 52 years old.
Now you know how old I am.
And he got brain damaged when he was eight months
old.
So by the time I was born,
I,
all I knew is there was something quite not right
with his head.
So he was different.
And even now,
at the age of 52,
his IQ level is somewhere around five and six
years old,
five and six.
And I never really had a good chance to develop
my normal childhood because I need to be with him.
So we had a caregiver.
My both parents were working outside,
but we did have a caregiver,
a good caregiver and all that.
But I still need to do a lot of things like a
little mommy kind of thing.
You know,
give him this,
feeding him this.
And then I was,
you know,
make sure that he's getting this.
And so they're hyper-vigilant,
hyper-attentive.
That was always something that I needed to monitor
where he was.
He didn't disappear.
And so I grew up with that situation.
And I've been interested in brain.
I've been interested in brain ever since,
since I was a little,
so many,
many,
many stories about my family,
my own son.
So eventually as I'm practicing more,
I felt naturally kind of goes into more and more
and more about the brain.
And I have more and more about the brain
methodology and eventually gets into our expertise.
So kind of natural progression.
Amazing.
So it sounds like you were born into a world
where brain injury,
brain trauma - you experienced it kind of from day
one and you grew up with it.
And it obviously,
I assume it fascinated you because now you've
worked professionally with it.
I guess,
you know,
your question does remind me of my meeting with
Stephen,
the inventor of True Hope EMP.
I met him one time.
I don't remember.
How I knew True Hope EMP,
but I guess I wasn't looking for researching the
supplement or method every year,
like always looking for looking out if there's any,
anything better than what I'm using now,
True Hope was one of those,
you know,
lucky,
you know,
encounter and before I was really using True Hope,
I met Stephen in one of his convention in church,
a little church in Vancouver.
I still remember.
Vividly.
I remember even where I was sitting with him side
by side,
right outside of the church service.
There is small,
not small,
like long,
like church with a bench,
right?
And we chatted,
I don't know how long,
chatted quite a time there.
And I heard his story about how he invented True
Hope EMP by pure accident,
but he called that a broken man's prayer.
And that,
that remained in my,
in my heart ever since,
a broken man's prayer,
because that's what I've been feeling about brain
conditions with my family the whole time.
So the eventually it goes,
comes down to the mission in a way that why I
am.
Doing what I'm doing.
It all started from also because of my brother,
older brother,
16 years ago,
he,
he survived miraculously,
but he almost died due to iatrogenic disease,
which is done by medical system.
So he,
one of his conditions is seizures.
So sometimes seizure can be triggered,
Triggered.
And then,
you know,
it becomes uncontrollable,
and then it's,
it gets into; it gets into really dangerous because
a brain can sustain that kind of seizure too many
times and too long,
right?
He was completely under control with a medicine
called the Dilantin,
relatively stable medication because it's been really
long.
It's been there for a long time.
And the,
he's a new neurologist.
I still remember his name.
I'm not in favor; you know,
unfavorable term.
And he was a researcher with something called the
Keppra.
That's a new medication back then.
So he was a paid researcher and he put my brother
on the Keppra medication.
Not only that,
not only him,
we have a circle,
like he has,
he's a,
he's a friend,
right?
Everybody was on Keppra and my brother on Keppra
the next day,
he started having seizures.
Violently and getting worse.
And every few hours,
like multiple times a day,
and it was getting worse and worse.
And we couldn't get hold of this neurologist
because he was on vacation for six weeks.
And he was,
my brother was losing it because the whole family,
there was nothing we could do because he's big.
And he couldn't because when,
when a person doing the seizure violently.
It weakens the entire muscle tone and it's making
them almost hallucinate the brain fog.
Like the cognition is gone.
Cognition is gone.
And he couldn't eat.
He couldn't drink well.
And he couldn't recognize who I was.
And it was continuing.
And then we called 911.
Okay.
Talk to your neurologist and call a GP.
Talk to your neurologist.
Neurologists need to be consulted,
nobody was going to touch the neurologist's
medication.
So that was it.
So that was our experience,
we,
it,
the condition continued for six weeks until the
doctor,
this neurologist came back from his six-week
vacation.
By the time my brother,
he wasn't able to make it to the bathroom,
but it was really heartbreaking because it was
perfectly functional to the point that he,
we,
we were not sure you,
if he was going to survive,
but the whole six weeks were so traumatic for our
family.
So that.
The next year,
my old,
my younger brother,
seven,
we are three,
two brothers and one sister,
seven years younger.
You know,
he went to acupuncture school and I went to,
I studied,
I studied,
I studied by a feedback because not because I
wanted to get a career,
but because we were searching for something to help
my brother.
So what does it work for the brain?
Because the brain,
right.
Someone asked,
you've got to do the by feedback.
Okay.
So we'll do the by feedback.
And we were spending the $5,000 per month.
And then eventually,
can I learn,
maybe we can just buy the machine,
I become practitioner,
I can help him,
right.
And so that's how it all started,
that's how my career started.
And then as I was going,
okay,
I need to get more education.
And then,
okay,
I went to the school,
and I need to take this course.
And that's how I became doing what I am doing.
But it all started from my brother's situation.
My younger brother is still a brain-focused
acupuncturist.
And we are whole family is helping my older
brother; he's healthier,
better than ever.
He now even reads - it's miraculous - he was
never be able to read.
But now he can read letters,
that his brain is obviously getting better and
better and better.
And he's amazing.
Wonderful.
Well,
congratulations to that.
That's,
that's quite miraculous.
And how was you?
How did the biofeedback that you studied?
And how did the acupuncture that your younger
brother studied?
How did that help your elder brother?
You know,
really going back to Stephen.
It's really a broken,
broken man's prayer,
because we did try many professionals,
medical and alternatives,
and nobody really was able to help my brother.
So really,
my younger brother and I,
we were trying,
whatever seems to be working,
and whoever was doing whatever related to the
brain.
So it's pure,
it's purely just exit,
it's purely just experimental and accidental.
And then,
because my,
my background is my master's degree in data
science.
And I,
I,
I,
I,
I,
I,
I,
I,
I,
I,
I,
I,
I,
I,
I,
I,
I,
I,
I,
I,
I,
I,
I,
I,
I,
I,
I,
I,
I,
I,
I,
I,
I,
I,
I,
I,
I,
I,
I,
I,
I,
I,
I,
I,
I,
I,
I,
I,
I,
I,
I.
That's what that was what I was,
my previous education.
So I was always wondering.
This is inefficient,
because we never know exactly.
Where.
What's baseline,
what's going on right now,
and what we are working on?
How does it work?
Does it work?
Or maybe?
Is he feeling better?
Because the weather is nice?
Or is he feeling better because he's having a
birthday party?
So how do you determine feeling good and happy?
Kind of improvement,
of course,
there are some signs that we can measure like
seizures you know,
how often does it do eventually to completely under
control in a touchwood or in a full-time lost so
many years.
But it was really based on like so many
experiments,
but I was able to get some patterns after I got
this bio scans from one of the most advanced
clinics worldwide in terms of technology it's called
Health Optimizing from Bergen,
Norway,
which they got the technology mostly from Russia,
so that's where I got most of my practicum.
And then I learned how to snapshot of the
biochemistry and also body electric at the same
time because I got about two thousand per minute
after the scanning on an individual.
So how I was able to help eventually when we
tried about hundred different things we were able
to get about seven to eight works really well.
So we have a testing method,
and we tried a lot of things,
and then we checked before and after that's how I
can determine what works and what doesn't.
One of them is,
of course,
True Hope Emp - that's my step one.
And then I was able to get a lot of information
after the scanning so I was able to get a lot of
information and
Then,
I was able to get a lot of information and then
I was able to staple and I'm going to keep it
forever in my dispenser because I tried many,
many supplements almost like I'll say I'll say the
90% I don't keep it just now after 16 years,
16 years my practice it has to.
I can measure quicker before I need to watch
observe longer,
and in many cases but now I refined my method so
within about two weeks I was able to get a lot
of information about three different cases uh the
uh client then I can find out if it works or not
so this is sorry just take just to just to jump
back a second so when you're using when you're
doing this is this is the neurofeedback.
We're talking about here right uh,
right now.
Your feedback by feedback true hope emp other brain
chemistry,
you asked me I remembered our conversation in the
before that you asked me how does a bio biology
and biochemistry works with this kind of method
it's not easy to measure it's not easy to know
but this is my belief the quality of treatment
depends on the quality of assessment because I
believe in the baseline um everybody comes let's
say there are 10 people coming for oh I'm
depressed and then they are sad and you know they
are tired they may show all the signs of
depression and all that sometimes they are just
exhausted.
Like adrenaline exhaustion,
the brain chemistry is okay,
and then I just work on more exhaustion,
the adrenaline,
and their mood gets better because they're just
exhausted,
so symptoms are there; inattention,
distractibility,
brain fog,
or cannot focus,
concentrate,
a mood dysregulation.
These are designed for the symptoms,
but labeling them based on the symptoms,
I don't believe in that kind of method which is
conventional method which is a questionnaire and
observation; I think there's a limit so I do
assessment after assessment,
I can find out brain wave imbalances with the
neurofeedback if people have a real problem.
Then I recommend doing some 'Body Electric'
- it's interstitial fluid scan.
I don't want to go into too much detail,
but it can check the body electric chemistry at a
chemical level.
So,
um,
none of these are diagnosing so you know,
diagnosing still needs to depend on the psychiatrist
and psychologist.
But what we're measuring is bodies'
natural bodies responses to the scan assessment.
We can find out,
we can map out serotonin responses,
dopamine,
acetylcholine,
and adrenaline,
these key responses including the gut lining the
gut to the brain,
the connection,
and the enteric nerve system it's becoming really
big like ENT,
enteric.
Nerve system or autonomic nerve system,
we get those kinds of information from simple
bioimpedance scan.
And then I'll do the supplement or neurofeedback
brain wave assessment treatment,
the training,
and then I measure afterwards,
that's how I determine what works or what doesn't.
And would you say,
how frequently to,
to your clients after you do this assessment and
you do the biofeedback work?
And then obviously you're looking to see what works
and what doesn't and you say,
you know,
you have this protocol where you would maybe
introduce a treatment and then reassess it in a
few sessions time.
Yes,
if I want to say that the Most successful protocol
that I have is a combination with,
combination with,
really lifestyle changes first because no matter how
amazing this supplement is or this treatment is,
none of them can really,
none of them can replace a good lifestyle.
Like drinking water,
it's good for you; there you know,
we have to,
because brain is 70% hydration,
so water is important.
Breathing is important,
good sleep is important,
nutrition is important.
So in the beginning,
we do really heavy-duty some checkpoints.
Are you eating good food?
So there are some foods that we absolutely know
which I figured out after 16 years of practice
again,
I've done.
Like 250,000 scans by now,
and during that time I found out this food,
this food,
this food always triggers some problems.
So,
I have my list,
so I do that,
and then what's on that list?
It's a long list,
by the way,
if you like,
I can give you a it's my gift,
it's my uh,
I did my discovery or it took 16 years to find
it,
and then I even have a meal plan if your audience
likes it,
I can even provide my proprietary meals and the
list.
And then kitchen toxins which we I refined it
about five years ago,
I can give you that's very very kind.
So these are things that you've seen first,
that's the number one step okay great,
so the and those things that you see that you've
seen over the last 16 years yeah they they're not
helping anybody in a way almost like no matter who
is coming to our clinic um it was also accidental
Discovery because uh you know it can some are
glutinous some electing whatever but there are
certain list of foods I found always almost always
triggering inflammation no matter what condition
people rip people are presenting So what I did is
that okay maybe I can just I can just um said no
to this list in the first six weeks and then see
how people are improving fast just removing those
lists our improvement I was able to speed speeding
up the recovery about three times faster
And also,
generally,
no matter what people's conditions are,
generally,
because some are really severe,
generally,
within six weeks when people avoid this food and
eat our meals,
we see at least 20 to 60 percent improvement for
six weeks that includes symptom-wise,
not necessarily I'm sure it doesn't be but
symptom-wise,
like pain is better,
headaches are better,
swelling is down,
mucus is down,
concentration is better,
and they can walk better,
joint pain is better,
so I just consider this okay.
Inflammation is really the enemy of all conditions,
including brain.
I had a ADHD autism depression patient and I put
Them on this diet,
some of them,
not everybody can afford a lot of supplemental
treatment,
so some of them.
I just go by that it could change the lifestyle
which doesn't cost much because they can learn and
they can continue right.
Some of them were not able to um take much,
you know,
you know amazing supplements because they could only
afford my service.
So I gave them this,
gave them this information,
and they came back still 40 percent improvement
without anything all that.
So that's number one,
and then um which if I will just ask me because
I'm forgetful and yeah,
so I will send it to you by for free now.
Um the second one is um supplement.
And neurofeedback is uh important,
but supplements can be a little bit...it's two
different things.
You cannot compare like supplement to supplement.
Is changing biochemistry,
neurofeedback is changing the brain waves.
When you have a broken PC computer,
what would you do?
You gotta take a look at some software,
you know.
It may be something that you download,
or downloaded new software that's causing glitchy
with the other,
like Microsoft.
Then you've got to remove the software.
Right,
that's like biochemistry...software is a biochemistry
electrical is by hardware,
so one if it's a minor problem,
one can fix the whole problem,
or this.
can fix whole problems but if we do something like
severe learning challenges or mood dysregulation like
uh you know add adhd or autism one like one fit
all method doesn't work it has to be all combining
so I usually recommend some supplements and the
neurofeedback when it comes to brain conditions
supplements it depends on uh what's their budget
because not everybody speaks uh but first one I
recommend is um I have a few of my key
supplements but empower trope empower emp is one of
the one of the mainorc ? ???all they all wrong
for me just to give you some examples you know
working with changes because when I give the
empower
In the beginning,
there are some expectations I wanna see from the
client within two to to seven days.
So almost like a one out of three cases respond
positively.
What conditions I see improvement with Empower is
anyone who complains about,
oh,
brain fog and brain is tired,
and I've been studying and more than two hours
brain stops working.
Like,
like brain battery is low,
and power works really well.
It took some time.
But Stephen helped me with the protocols that
anyone who is listening to this,
of course,
you got to talk to your pharmacist,
or,
you know,
GP.
But if you're trying EMP,
and it doesn't seem to work,
you may consider increasing the dose,
like 12 a day,
one or two doesn't work,
it depends on how depleted how it's almost like,
when there's a dry season,
right?
Like,
which dry and then,
you know,
garden in my yard becomes like a brown,
a few drops of water is not going to do much,
you need a heavy rate,
or heavy,
whatever,
water,
wherever you can get something we get regulation
that we're not supposed to,
you know,
water the yacht,
but grade is like that.
The more depleted it is,
there are the some absolute time,
the brain needs to be saturated with the nutrition.
So often,
I found it a dose dosing matter.
But I usually recommend EMP and some other
supplements like omega three,
of course,
it's important,
and some other supplements.
And then I,
and I measure some progress with how the brain is
working.
And then I recommend in your feedback.
So that's basically the,
you know,
blueprint,
my blueprint of the how I help most brain
conditions.
Amazing.
So you see EMP works quite quickly for a lot of
people.
And I wonder how you how do you support your
clients to stay accountable?
Because first of all,
you're introducing lifestyle changes,
which can be very difficult for a lot of people,
you know,
drinking more water,
moving their body more,
eating different foods,
shopping in different parts of the supermarket.
These are brand new habitual things that people,
excuse me,
aren't used to doing.
So how do you go about as a as a practitioner in
helping people kind of stay on top of these
changes?
That's a really good question.
Because that is,
I remember Dr.
Gary Ryder,
Dr.
Gary Ryder,
he is a the integrated medicine doctor in Canada,
practicing 40 years medical doctor and integrated
medicine.
And when I had a conversation with him one day,
he said this,
Sammy,
I've been practicing and by the time he was 45
years,
I've been practicing 35 years.
And I found one disease is the most difficult,
that is non-compliance.
If if they were compliant,
I would be able to help so many people.
That stuck in my mind.
And that is a truth because compliance is changing
lifestyle,
it's very difficult.
But surprisingly,
taking pills - I don't get a lot of 99% people
can take pills,
but food,
sleep,
changing the light and evening habits.
It's very,
very difficult.
But I think we kind of filter patients in the
beginning during the interview; we don't want to
work with everybody.
I have to say that we don't work with everybody
because it's really intense program that we are
running.
So in the very beginning,
we need to see you to see how committed people
are,
of course,
to their own health,
right?
Like a break,
broken man's prayer.
That's like,
we need to see the kind of attitude,
no matter what it takes,
I will do that for my children.
And then I make it happen.
And very soon,
first week or second week,
we know,
then we sometimes we we have to sometimes we need
to draw the line that we are not going anywhere,
I make it like a coaching.
So what we are doing is not really doctor-patient
relationship,
we are doing almost athletes.
I'm a coach.
We are,
we are coaches and you are athletes.
We want to make you to get the gold gold medal
medal,
but you got to do the work.
We make it very,
very,
very clear.
So in a way that we did two,
three weeks,
if people are,
you know,
any client not committed,
generally,
they don't stay,
you know,
so they stopped coming.
You know,
sometimes they keep coming,
but our conversation stick the same ground because
we need to go back to the basic,
you've got to do this.
We cannot jump to the,
you know,
sometimes they want to try something else.
And yeah,
try different ideas.
It doesn't work because I don't want to I don't
want to experiment.
I've done already all the experiment for them.
By now,
they get the best service for me to perform what
I what I believe it's working.
It doesn't mean that it's going to work for every
single person.
But this is my best foot forward,
right?
And if they make me to experiment,
there will be experiment,
it would take me a long time for me to find out
if it's working or not.
Do you think people think that or find that it
takes too long?
Like,
I mean,
let's say a two- or three-week protocol of going
to bed earlier,
drinking twice as much water,
moving your body just 30 minutes a day - like
that is impossible for some people in their own
minds,
right?
And,
and not committing to for just even a couple of
weeks,
or even three weeks to see what the results are.
Maybe it's just not going to happen for some
people because we do have this culture of,
you know,
as you say,
people take the supplements,
no problem,
because we have this pill culture,
right?
We take this pill,
and it's gonna like fix us or make us feel better
or do its thing.
And it's gonna be pretty quick,
right?
Because it's,
you know,
biochemically doing something within us.
You're right.
You're right.
Yeah.
So it's,
it's,
it's very much cultural in regards to how we want
to if we do want to get results.
Because I feel a lot of people get into the
position of,
let's say,
having a disease,
it can take years and decades of like very
subconscious things happening,
like not drinking enough water,
not going to bed early enough,
not moving their body.
And it takes years and years and decades.
And we're not really programmed to recognize that
we've got into a position because of these years
of,
let's just say,
poor lifestyle choices.
And it goes against our complete nature to try and
work hard to change that because we've learned
these subconscious patterns so deeply ingrained,
right?
Yeah,
really deeply ingrained and very,
very difficult to kind of break through that.
And I think yeah,
that's when you it's wonderful when you do get
those those clients who really are committed,
it's usually because they're in a place of
significant discomfort,
you know,
like they're coming to see you and they're really
wanting to make these changes because they are
like,
it's like last resort.
They've been through the conventional model for for
10 years,
they had no results,
they don't want to take drugs for the rest of
their lives.
They're having side effects from these things.
And they're like,
this is their like last go with something that's
complimentary alternative,
and they're really in it,
in it to win it.
But then there's also like a lot of other people
who are just not quite there yet.
They're interested in alternative,
complementary medicine,
but they're not quite there yet.
You know,
you got it right.
Working with clients,
what I found the most important is commitment needs
to be earned.
So no one can be committed to anything if they
don't see the results,
like six months or one year,
unless they have like cancer patient,
which they already know that,
you know,
they're happy as long as you know the pain is not
getting worse,
right?
The expectation is different.
But most cases in in this special brain cases,
we want to see the improvement within one week,
if like one week,
gives another three week commitment,
when they're getting better within three weeks,
then I have about three months commitment.
Usually,
that's a good enough time to see what kind of
life how life can be different.
Once brain can perceive that,
that a lot of things can change a lot of things.
So one week,
we usually we see some improvement.
That is a reason why I use biochemical and body
electric at the same time,
because lifestyle that I recommend everything,
but I have a different timeframe for the commit
commitment in terms of the my recommendation,
lifestyle is a little bit relaxed.
Because when especially anyone has a brain
condition,
they cannot remove everything they like to eat.
And the stress is killing them,
especially children,
and they are going to do,
let's say,
go to bed and here and drink water.
And then you cannot eat,
you cannot eat sweets.
And then now you do the training,
it is not going to work,
it's too much stress.
Even the adults,
you know,
smoking or drinking,
okay,
you stopped smoking from today,
and then stop drinking from today,
and you eat this,
but it's not going to work.
We got to have some crutch,
because while your brain is somewhat reduced,
you're not resilient to be able to make that
happen.
So the first commitment is taking supplements,
which is a pill,
pill taking is somewhat easier,
most people can do that,
doing the brainwave treatment,
brainwave training,
and some key ingredients need to be still off from
the from the food is the highest inflammation
inflammation.
I tried so many different combination,
this one always,
always make it impossible for me to see improvement
within one week,
no matter what I do.
So I have a small list.
This is a must.
And there is a bigger one that is smaller one.
So this is has to be go.
But you know,
they can eat some sweets,
you know,
they can drink if they you have to smoke,
okay.
It's okay for about for three months,
because after three months later,
probably we can renegotiate it.
I actually,
I actually use the term negotiation.
Let's negotiate this.
That's good.
So what,
what do you need to have?
We have this choice to Okay,
and then Oh,
alcohol.
I have to buy chocolate.
Okay,
then this needs to go.
So there are a lot of communications,
but one week,
people need to see some improvement.
Yeah,
I think one week is very reasonable,
I think.
And I think it's got a lot to do with what
people take out rather than what they put in.
Like if you were to,
you know,
stop eating certain foods that we know are highly
inflammatory,
and we know are highly processed and contain just
complete foreign chemicals or in biology,
just taking those out for a week.
And giving your liver and your body a break to
actually not have to continuously detoxify from
these things and store them in your body.
And you know,
it's giving your body a week to really heal.
And to really do what it does best and to make
you feel great.
I can absolutely attest to the fact that yeah,
if you if you if you do good things for a week,
you will certainly feel better,
that's for sure.
But it's then revisiting that great week.
And working on top of that.
And again,
like renegotiating and bringing your body back to
normal.
So that's bringing bringing what you've learned back
to the table,
what can go what can stay and the I think that's
I think negotiation is a really,
really key way that you would discuss that with a
best,
let's call them like,
you know,
you're coaching a you're coaching an athlete rather
than it being a patient client situation.
I think that's a really,
really good way to look at it.
You just summarized my program.
Thank you,
Simon.
You're welcome.
You're right.
We don't.
What I was the most frustrating,
frustrating,
the biggest frustration that I felt when I was
working on my own health,
my son's and my brother is that dependency that I
never knew exactly what was wrong and I didn't
know how to improve,
and then I didn't know how to maintain.
So that is one of the core principle in our
practice is that telling people letting people know
that what's wrong with you as much as I can find
out and then this is a way to the bridge I'm
providing the bridge from you from here and you're
going here but during this time most clients learn
what was a problem what worked and then so they
are trained and then continue doing what you
learned because even if they sleep you know even
if they slack up even if they kind of slipped and
then went back to their previous life because they
had a memory of what how they were achieved this
they had the confidence that I can get it back
absolutely there's no like steady incline of success
you know there's always going to be blips but it's
certainly how do you respond to that blip you know
like if it's a day or a couple of days you know
I I am I have friends and clients of mine who
who do incredible things for let's say like they
want they want to stop drinking alcohol for like
four months and then they they fail after two
months and three days and they think they consider
that whole period of time of failure i'm like
you're kidding me like that's that's amazing that's
incredible why don't you just you know like just
just finish the four months and those two days who
cares about it you know like you're doing your
body such a great service but we have this goal
orientation putting a time on it you know like new
year's resolutions dry january all these all these
things which are positive that's for sure and i
think that they work for a lot of people because
it's actually quite communal to make those changes
together and and it to be a part of a group
rather than just being like me on my own trying
To do all these impossible things,
I think there's a big conversation for community um
with any of these kind of lifestyle changes whether
that's a Facebook group or your own family,
I think that can definitely um work wonders when
you're wanting to make big changes in your life
because you know we our our kids and our and our
parents,
we were without question,
we inherit genes but we also inherit behaviors much
more significantly so we can certainly um pass on
those positive things to together and you know try
and make changes together and negotiate within the
family,
I think that's a that's a really great way to
look at it yeah yeah eventually it's empowerment
right um because you know you're you're you're
you're you're you're you're you're you're you're
you're you're you're you're you're you're you're
you're you're you're you're you're you're you're
you're Clearly and then obviously about my health
health and Wellness is not one-time achievement
like not like purchasing a house or you know it
is something you need to keep earning and
maintaining if you want to reach the peak
performance negotiations,
So we do negotiation and training,
so we're not necessarily treating or I call it 'I
like the word like training' because they become so
empowered,
they know exactly what to do and what to eat,
what's their condition,
and who to see.
I can only do so much.
I feel I have to make a change,
like I've done things for somebody all my life in
my family.
do within my within my method so if there is
something else that they need to see at least they
know they have a team this person this this
professional professional this is a problem that now
he he's a he's his own designer of the wellness
and he can go as far as he wants to wants to go
it's it's up to him absolutely yeah i mean they're
only going to be seeing you for let's say an hour
every couple of weeks or something like that right
there's a lot of other hours where that individual
is kind of like on their own working on the
program yes when you introduce empower plus to
clients um i'm sure there are questions but how do
you go explaining about why why this why this
product for this person you know why do you know
how do you go about explaining because i'm sure
many clients will just take the bottle and be like
okay great how much do i need to take but i'm
sure you've got other other other clients and
they're going to be able to take that and they're
going to be able to take that clients that come
in who who ask questions like okay why this
product you
know why this brand what's different about this
product so how do you go about explaining how
empower plus um works for people well um really
two things first research we have to let data
guide us research is important and i've never seen
any other product i've never seen any other product
have such amazing research outcome um then empower
that's number one i was i was like i was immersed
researching and studying uh true hope emp and power
for years especially about 10 years ago that's i
believe that's when i was introduced to emp and
power um that's before it was changing to the you
know new bottle which is a glass bottle
Back then,
it was like just plastic and so um,
how I'm introducing Empower to my clients is one
of the research I you know I've been using it the
whole time,
I forgot the name of the institute,
it's in Toronto,
Canada,
I believe.
Neuroscience,
uh,
you probably you know that there is a research
done on mice,
group which is the visual pictures,
so I show that picture to my client.
The visual picture is showing that there's some
suction suction technique and with use,
apply to the the group of group of mouse,
mice,
and it cut about one quarter of the brain which
is a prefrontal cortex,
which is a thinking brain,
but left enough brain to survive,
so Eat and all that,
but just compromise cognition: two groups.
One is uh,
you know both,
both groups um,
uh had removed uh,
a partial uh,
the uh thinking brain which is a prefrontal cortex.
And one group was were given with normal common
multivitamin,
the other group was given Empower True Hope (one
year later).
Um,
and all the scanning imaging scan shows that
neurons redeveloped with Empower.
The other mice were given uh multivitamin uh had a
pretty good health like energy wise,
but brain remained the same.
So it was beneficial for wellness,
so it's better than nothing,
right?
You know,
multivitamin,
right,
but has nothing to do with The brain can actually
regrow into neurons,
you could see that actually,
brain mass increased it was grown back,
so that was a shocking,
uh,
shocking,
uh,
the research,
so I,
that's a visual,
so I show it to you,
I,
it's always in my desk and I show it to the
patient,
that make the introduction,
look at the different,
this is science,
and then I go over my own story,
that how my brother is taking this,
how I'm,
I myself is taking it,
and that usually because I'm,
I'm recommending,
uh,
empower to everybody,
I have some cases right,
and I can pick similar story to the patient who
is sitting,
uh,
right in front of me,
so I have a similar case.
And,
whatever the time,
this is what's happening.
We can give it a try right?
So if it doesn't work,
then we can change it to something else,
so that's how I usually recommend this - empower
wonderful!
Yeah,
I remember when I first when I when I finished my
nutrition degree,
I think 2017,
I think it was...
But um,
then I you know I was this nutritionist and I was
out there,
I was on Instagram and I was trying all these
different products.
People sending me stuff.
And I'm so blessed that for a whole year of that
training,
I was studying research and not just research but
researching how to research research because you
know you can't just look at you can't just look
at the front page you can't just look at the the
objective or just the conclusion or the abstract
you know you really need to be digging deep into
what these people are doing because it's not always
what it says on the tin yeah it's a very common
phrase in the uk um so i was getting all these
companies trying to send me supplements and send me
green powders and all this and i'm like yeah
that's cool i'm gonna go straight into your website
and i'm gonna look for your science page and your
research page and 99.99 percent of these companies
have got nothing they've made a product for many
of them they've
Just like bunching everything they could find that's
healthy into,
like,
one product and adding some things to make it
taste sweet,
yeah,
yeah,
and they call this a health product,
right?
And obviously the industry is very poorly regulated,
so yeah.
When I started working with True Hope and I was
like,
'I'm gonna get i want to get involved with this
company because they've got like 36 peer-reviewed
papers' and that is you know having just one for
a supplement company is incredibly rare,
so I'm like,
'What's happening with this company?
And this,
you know how are they doing this and the product
works so well as you say.
That it's been picked up by multiple universities
around the world and being studied because,
just like you said about this,
my study which I will link in the in the show
notes,
the product works it's brain food; it's incredibly
curable and it can,
you know,
it can work really,
really quickly for a lot of people.
And when we hear about brain trauma,
brain disease,
ADHD,
depression all these things and a lot of people
say that they're incurable,
and you're going to be on medications for the rest
of your life; it's just...
it's just not true,
yeah.
No,
it's just so sad.
As Dr.
Daniel Amen,
and I'm probably heard his name a renowned
psychiatrist said.
That psychiatry,
you know,
a psychiatrist is the person doesn't look at what
it's treating so there's no test,
there's no test for the brain,
it's just observation and the symptoms and the
questionnaire,
right?
It's all decisions are mostly based on that.
I'm not saying that they're not working,
it's working,
but it's just not enough,
it's not enough.
There has to be more than that,
yeah,
that's a really important point,
so yeah,
just to make sure that I'm clear in what you're
saying,
for a lot of psychological disorders the diagnosis
process is literally ticking boxes and if you tick
the right boxes in the right diagnosis.
That's that,
that's what you've got,
yeah,
and that is you know,
that's kind of all they've got,
you know,
which they kind of have to work with,
but it's not super specific and it doesn't work
for a lot of people.
I know more than a handful of people who had
significant brain trauma from a car accident and
they were wrongly diagnosed with with a
psychological disorder when they'd just had brain
inflammation for 10 years,
it's never been inflammation,
yes,
exactly,
yeah,
and that's been fed by diet and lifestyle and
stress and the symptoms that came with that injury,
and then you go to a doctor and you've got all
these problems you can't.
Sleep and you've got all this going on,
and your doctors are saying,
'Oh,
it's all in your head.
You're just anxious or you're just depressed.'
Here's a pill.
And how much more anxiety and more depression that
that puts on you because you're not really being
listened to because people really aren't believing
what you're experiencing internally.
Um,
yeah,
it's uh,
it's wild that um that that's kind of how far we
are in 2022 when it comes to diagnosing psychiatric
disorders.
It's a changing according to some of my clinical
advisors.
We also work with a clinical advisor,
renowned psychologist,
and also a peer in our clinic,
um,
according to the according to the industry news the
leaders many things are going to change especially
with the big data and then the advancement of the
technology especially neurofeedback used to be really
difficult to get because it was expensive and also
it has to be repeating and it's just difficult but
it's becoming a little bit easier and cheaper and
the big data also is changing the brain science is
changing with as a computer changes computer changes
so um psychiatry and psychology i just had this
conversation with um you know renowned also he's
also quite renowned in this i'm so lucky to have
uh amazing doctors around
I'm Dr.
Nathan Brown,
he's a doctor of psychology and the neurofeedback
he's like the neurofeedback um specialized uh
psychologist for four years and he's a doctor of
psychology and he's a doctor of 40 years and he's
now seeing because of the computer science and then
because the electrodes are becoming sensitive it's
also computer right just look at how much computer
has improved and the brain is most electrical so
electrodes are becoming super sensitive and it's so
much easier and cheaper to measure that kind of
data now big data is presenting some um ideas why
these people may have this condition why this so
big data.
Is changing actually everything,
including neutral radiation and all of those,
so um,
we may be able to see some changes with even
spect uh you know spectroscopy and there are a lot
of other possible uh examinations,
even like neurotransmitter urine tests,
right?
Some tests rather than just doing the psychiatry is
a very conservative which I appreciate because we
don't want to play with the brain,
right?
We don't want to play with the brain especially
with the medication.
They have to be conservative,
but still I think they still need to open their
mind into a little bit including alternative
medicine,
which a lot of professionals Are opening their
minds and using EMP how many doctors are promoting
EMP and empower psychiatrists,
and it should go hand in hand.
Plus,
there has to be more method of assessment whatever
available out there rather than just using the
questionnaire and giving the people medication,
which may cause a lot of side effects.
Absolutely,
I think.
Um,
I think I'd love to get you back on the show to
talk more about um brainwave patterns and how
they're affecting biology,
and also the current like technology that we do
have available because it would be incredible if if
this technology was able to be cheaper and more
accessible for A lot of people who,
you know,
a lot of people who do come towards like an
alternative practice are um,
you know,
they're paying for two forms of healthcare really.
So,
yeah,
making that more affordable would be wonderful.
But um,
we're just coming up to the end of this show for,
for the hour.
