Brain-Based Health: Optimizing Sleep, Breathing, and Neurodevelopment | SNH Podcast #135

In this episode of the Smarter Not Harder Podcast, Dr. Scott Wustenberg joins Jodi Duval to explore how foundational neurological principles can transform our understanding of supplements, neurodevelopment, and chronic illness. Together, they dive into the brain-centric roots of dysfunction and how precise, science-backed interventions—like neuro-supportive gummies—can optimize outcomes across the lifespan.

Dr. Wustenberg is a seasoned Australian chiropractor, medical nutritionist, and educator with over 20 years of clinical experience. He is the founder of Advance Rehab in Brisbane, CEO of Optimal Sleep Airway Health, and creator of the OptiHuman Project. His work is rooted in chiropractic neurology, sleep and airway medicine, and functional nutrition.
