Your relationship with your brain rules every aspect of life. Yet, in today’s world, rife with emotional and pollutional toxicity, it’s way too easy to be ruled by your brain, rather than you being in charge.
“Brain hygiene” plays a prominent role in everyday world-life interactions and perceptions. This includes work, relationships and even cultural perceptions such as politics and inter-racial justice.
Shonte’ has a BA and Masters in Neuroscience, is in the middle of her PhD program, and took a break to start her OptiMind Neuroscience Coaching & Training Institute.
Shonte’ holds yearly neuroscience symposiums and had asked Dr. Berkson to co-lecture at one, a few years past. They have been interactive and mutually respective colleagues ever since.
In Shonte’s OptiMind Neuroscience Institute she instructs that if you learn how to “rule your brain” you can “rule your world”.
To be a successful yet peaceful person, to contribute to world peace and evolution, it is critical to learn how to master your brain so it doesn’t enslave yourself and your actions, even unconsciously. Especially unconsciously.
This show is about awakening and opening and utilizing your highest potential.
You can reach out to find out more about Shonte’ here:
The world is experiencing a pandemic from COVID-19. So research is looking at every which way various physiologic states might be protective or increase vulnerability.
Across the world males seem more susceptible, compared to women (especially premenopausal women) to getting COVID. Once they get it, they are more susceptible to severe outcomes as well as fatalities, once again compared to younger women.
It has been suggested that estrogen may be protective against COVID-19 in females and/or that androgens (like testosterone) worsen COVID-19 in men.
As of this date, there are three studies being done giving males and menopausal females "estrogen" and/or "progesterone" replacement as it "may" be protective against COVID-19.
In This Show You will Hear About Estrogen
What About Progesterone?
What About Androgens?
A paper by Markus Hoffmann of the Leibniz Institute for Primate Research and colleagues in CELL, sent a lightning bolt through scientific community.
This work showed Covid can gain entry into the body more easily by the action of an enzyme called TMPRSS2, a membrane-bound enzyme. The enzyme cleaves the “spike” protein on the coronavirus’ surface, allowing the virus to fuse with the host cell’s membrane and get inside the cell. Male hormones turn this enzyme on.
In the prostate, TMPRSS2 is produced when male hormones bind to the androgen receptor.
Researchers haven’t established if androgens control TMPRSS2 in the lungs as they have in the prostate. But Andrea Alimonti, head of molecular oncology at Università della Svizzera italiana, looked at data on more than 42,000 men with prostate cancer in Italy. He and colleagues found that patients on androgen-deprivation therapy (ADT)—drugs that slash levels of testosterone—were only one-quarter as likely to contract COVID-19 as men with prostate cancer not on ADT. Men on ADT were also less likely to be hospitalized and to die.
In one Italian study, men with prostate cancer who received drugs that suppress androgens were much less likely to be infected with COVID.
Prostate cancer researcher Catherine Marshall of Johns Hopkins University is preparing a trial of bicalutamide, an older, inexpensive androgen receptor blocker, in 20 patients hospitalized within 3 days after they tested positive for COVID-19.
Women are being included in the trial, she adds, because they have androgens, too, although at lower levels than men.
What You will Learn Overall
There is a lot we don’t know, but in this show you will hear the latest about the link between hormones and COVID!
In this show you will learn:
Suzanne Steinbaum, D.O. is president of the SRSHeart, program for Women’s Cardiovascular Prevention, Health and Wellness and was recently the Director of Women’s Cardiovascular Prevention, Health and Wellness at Mt. Sinai Heart in New York City.

Regular medicine is failing women.
For many health issues from irregular periods to acne to PCOS, doctors pass out oral contraception (oral contraceptives) like M&M’s. The “pill” is good at stopping symptoms. But they do not address the “root cause” of what initiated the symptoms. And they can have downstream adverse effects as they are made up of endocrine disrupting synthetic hormones.
Birth control pills (oral contraception) contains synthetic hormones. These synthetic hormones can damage our own home-made hormones. The pill often contains synthetic estrogens (ethinyl estradiol) and synthetic progesterone’s (progestins). All have been found to have endocrine disrupting actions.
For example, it’s clearly been shown that women on oral contraceptives have more tendency to experience anxiety, poor partner choices, more divorce, migraines, and even inflammatory bowel disease in women with genetic glitches. Much of this occurs from the endocrine disrupting action of these endocrine disruptors, or by their blockage of healthy hormone protection in various tissues, like your precious gut wall.
The driving answer becomes, what are safe alternatives?
This show discuses new ways for women to know their bodies and fertility. This knowledge can be used to enhance fertility and also to master drug-free, safe contraception.
Dr. Susan Caldwell is a rare bird of a physician. She is double-board certified in internal medicine (the thinkers of medicine) and pediatrics (the heart of medicine). She is smart plus heart.
Dr. Caldwell got inspired by the work of Thomas W. Hilgers, MD. This works comes out of the Pope Paul VI Institute for the Study of Human Reproduction and the National Center for Women's Health in Omaha, Nebraska.
Dr. Caldwell, to add this work to her practice, became a Certified Naprotechnology Medical Consultant. This form of consulting helps get to the “root” of health issues, like progesterone insufficiency may be causing your irregular bleeding or leaky gut in PCOS patients.
Naprotechnology also give answers for safe and natural birth control.
This dynamic but heart-felt conversation will help many women on their journey to self-awareness, natural birth control, and to ways to decrease adverse side effects of the pill, should you need to stay on it.

Melatonin is a versatile molecule.
Melatonin is synthesized by the pineal gland in the brain. But it’s not widely known that melatonin is such an important hormone. It’s made all throughout the body—in the gastrointestinal tract, retina, thymus, bone marrow, and by white blood cells called leukocytes.
Besides regulating sleep and our relationship with light and dark, melatonin wears a lot of other hats.
Melatonin is a power anti-oxidant, hormone protector and up-regulator of critical molecules like glutathione.
One important emerging role for melatonin is its huge influence over our immune system functions.
In this show you will learn.
A good night's sleep will definitely put an energetic lilt our steps. Why? Pineal melatonin (the melatonin made in the brain) regulates mitochondrial melatonin. This runs your energy.
Healthy nocturnal release of melatonin makes your immune system respond healthfully and resiliently.
You’ve heard a lot about how cytokine storms drive very serious responses to COVID. Melatonin helps prevent this and in some cases is being explored to help treat this.
Cytokine storms damage the gut wall. It becomes excessively permeable (leaky gut). Then, more bad than good bacteria and gut-wall damage occur. Nasty damaging molecules (LPS) cross the gut wall. Then this person becomes more and more vulnerable to a severe response to COVID.
This is a show that will give you a lot more helpful insight especially at this time.
This is a show of reality. You will hear a dialogue of what is going on deep inside humanity’s psyche. In this profoundly healing and inspirational show, Mr. Andrew Harvey shares what the human race is collectively facing during this time of global pandemic and uncertainty.
In 2012, Mr. Harvey was nominated for the Templeton Prize, eventually awarded to the Dalai Lama, a spiritual colleague and life-long friend of Mr. Harvey’s.
Both Mr. Harvey and the Dalai Lama feel humanity is at a cross-roads: extinction or transformation. In this show you learn what these two paths look like and the how’s and why’s needed for humanity to save itself.
Much of humanity has been continually run by greed, money and narcissism. Priorities of profit and power have shadowed humanity’s future or social injustices. The planet, air and water upon which humanity survives, continues to be polluted for power, greed and self-service.
Now is the time for change… or suffer.
Now is the time to make “hope come true”.
Mr. Harvey had been honored as one of the 100 Most Spiritually Influential Living People in 2012. Andrew has authored over 40 books including The Hope, A Guide to Sacred Activism, The Direct Path.
Andrew Harvey is Founder and Director of The Institute of Sacred Activism, an international organization focused on inviting concerned people to take up the challenge of our contemporary global crises by becoming inspired, effective, and practical agents of institutional and systemic change, in order to create peace and sustainability.
Sacred Activism, started by Mr. Harvey, is a transforming force of compassion-in-action that is born of a fusion of deep spiritual knowledge, courage, and love, together with wise radical action in the world.

COVID-19 is not the flu. When folks get ill with COVID-19, it can last a lot longer and adverse effects can linger for months or even years. If folks get ill enough and end up on a ventilator in the ICU, this experience can last a lot longer with more severe issues in and out of the hospital. Someone with COVID can transmit the illness, even if they don’t know they have it, for much longer than the flu. The flu mostly damages the lungs while COVID-19 can travel through the blood causing issues in the gut, kidneys, brain and even the vestibular system which keeps us centered in mind, body and space.
In this show you will learn:
