Dr. Diana Driscoll is an internationally recognized researcher, inventor, speaker, author, and patient advocate. An optometrist by education, she was disabled for over a decade with “invisible illnesses”. Now fully recovered, she is the recipient of two patents to date and continues her research as President of Genetic Disease Investigators. She is the founder and Clinical Director of POTS Care -- the only clinic dedicated to treating the underlying medical causes of POTS -- not just the symptoms. She is also a partner at TJ Nutrition. Dr. Driscoll graduated summa cum laude from both The University of Houston College of Optometry and The University of Texas at Austin. She is a geek, through and through. She is a member of the International Society of Neurovascular Disease, the American Headache Society, the Medical Advisory Board for EDS Network C.A.R.E.S, the American Optometric Association, the Tear Film and Ocular Surface Society, and served as a medical advisor for the Ehlers-Danlos National Foundation. Her peer-reviewed medical abstracts include those involving vascular abnormalities in the fundus of POTS patients, the etiology of left ventricular diastolic dysfunction, and the use of acetazolamide in multiple sclerosis. She is the author of “The Driscoll Theory” -- the publication revealing the propensity for high intracranial pressure in POTS patients that dramatically altered how this condition was evaluated and treated. She has also authored “Your Eyes and EDS”, and was the chief author of the “Ophthalmology Medical Resource Guide” for Ehlers-Danlos National Foundation. Dr. Driscoll is the recipient of numerous awards for patient advocacy and continues to donate her time to help others across the globe through her online forum and videos on YouTube. Her work in chronic inflammation, the autonomic nervous system, collagen disorders, and organ dysfunction can help others live their best life, as well as have their best body and mind. --Topics listed below.

Growing up, I lived in a household where my parents and family struggled with obesity and metabolic disease. We went to countless coaches, counselors, and therapists looking for guidance on how to get our health under control. I realized that while these individuals had good intentions of helping my family, there was always something missing. One would focus on diet but give little advice about exercise. Another would give lifestyle and emotional support but disregard movement. The net result being more confusion and frustration than achieving meaningful change. I realized then that to be truly successful, a person needed to have multiple coaches who all worked together. But who had the time or money for that? We certainly didn’t. That’s why my vision for Fluid Health and Fitness was born from the need to deliver what the wellness industry was lacking: a system that considers and balances all of the elements of health and wellness in a way that fits into your lifestyle. One that meets you where you are at: not where we want you to be. And one that teaches you how your body really works. So many programs out there focus on just one segment of health while glossing over or charging more for the others. This creates a disservice to their participants as the supporting elements make it possible to create positive changes. So we created an inclusive system that takes the average person looking to be the best version of themselves, and show them how to take a complicated process and make it simple. We give you a roadmap for health. At Fluid Health and Fitness, we call it “maintenance for life”. --Topics listed below.

Dr. Hart has spent a lifetime in Performance from national champion in freestyle wrestling and representing Canada Internationally to becoming an Oncologic Surgeon. Following General Surgical Residency and fellowship training in Hepatic Transplantation and Hepatobiliary/Pancreatic Surgical Oncology he was recruited to St. Joseph's Health Centre, Toronto to develop and build this specialized surgical program. Within nine years the service was awarded the HPB "Centre of Excellence" by Cancer Care Ontario (CCO) having become the third busiest program in the province with the lowest Operative Morbidity and Mortality rates, all as a single surgeon. He is passionate about teaching the principals and science associated with mastery and excellence, believing "the DNA for developing Elite Performance is a constant regardless of the domain". For this reason, he has developed NextGen Surgery™ - the Science of Elite Performance -- an innovative, cutting-edge platform and scientifically based approach to "Mind-Body Training". It layers neurofeedback, biofeedback, learned self-regulation and advanced performance psychology to create the Mind-Body Awareness essential in developing Optimum Performance and Stress Resiliency. This platform can be applied to any domain where peak performance under pressure matters. It is his vision to transform how physicians and surgeons - elite performers who populate the world of health care - are trained for the cognitive, emotional and physical skills required to deliver Optimum Performance when it truly matters most, when human life is on the line. --Topics listed below.

Reduce pain better than opioids and heal injuries faster naturally. Dr. Amy Baxter shares her cutting edge research in the field of vibration and temperature therapy that you can do at home. Listen in here! After researching pain and practicing pediatric emergency medicine for 20 years, Dr. Amy Baxter invented and was federally funded to research a cryovibration device (“Buzzy”) to eliminate pain from shots. “Buzzy” has now blocked pain from over 32 million needle procedures. When adults started using Buzzy to avoid opioids after surgery, Dr. Baxter went full time to create and research reusable drug-free devices like VibraCool and DuoTherm Vibrating Back Relief. Dr. Baxter publishes and speaks internationally on drug free pain relief, pain management, procedural sedation, and created and validated the BARF scale for children with cancer to rate nausea. In her role as Chief Medical Officer and CEO of Pain Care Labs, Dr. Baxter has won numerous awards including the GA Bio "Most Innovative CEO", “Top 50 Healthcare Transformer", and "Industry Leader in Noninvasive Pain Relief." She was called the "Idea Person" by Wall Street Journal, and Top Women in Healthcare to Watch by Forbes magazine. Amy has given TED talks on the rise, cause, and consequences of needle phobia, and on the Future of Pain Management at Exponential medicine. She is also known for turning down Mr. Wonderful on Shark Tank. --Topics listed below.
