So much of your reality is determined by your brain, and if you have dealt with chronic disease or mental health struggles like me, it can feel like there’s something wrong with you. But, it’s probably not you. It’s probably a brain problem.

Today’s guest, Dr. Brandon Crawford, is here to provide some hope and some answers.

Dr. Brandon Crawford is a board-certified Developmental Functional Neurologist, driven by training from esteemed minds in chiropractic, functional neurology, and functional endocrinology. Renowned as a laser expert, Dr. Crawford shares groundbreaking laser and light therapy protocols in lectures around the world, revolutionizing treatments for various conditions through photobiomodulation.

He has achieved absolutely incredible results helping people rewire their brains and heal chronic conditions at the NeuroSolution Center of Austin.

You’ll learn how to hack your brain with light, get an intro to light hygiene, and be educated on the ways we derive energy from light.

We also cover indications of a healthy brain and how to continuously promote brain health, why talk therapy may not be the best way to heal trauma, immediate solutions for when you’re feeling activated by fear, and share advice for parents with kids struggling neurologically after the pandemic mask mandates.
