Welcome back to the Compromised to Alchemized podcast. In this episode I chat with Greg Mc Lean, a leading expert and educator whose mission is to demystify the complex connection between our breathing, sleep, jaw, nasal function, and overall health. Greg provides both virtual and in-person support, helping people around the world optimize their fundamental life function: breathing.

This conversation gets into the "nitty gritty" of what both Greg and I meticulously investigate in our respective practices. We reflect on the amazing training Greg hosted for my "Floor of the Mouth" course in Arizona this summer, where I was able to witness the transformative impact of his work firsthand.

Greg shares his personal journey—a fascinating pivot from electrical engineering and firefighting to becoming a dedicated movement and breathing trainer. He opens up about his childhood health struggles with asthma, his critical discovery of hypermobility, and his personal legend.

Greg has the unique ability to take diverse concepts from disciplines like yoga, sports' specific training, physical therapy, traditional weight lifting, and boxing, and combine them into a hybrid style of training. The core principle of his method is building a strong body from the core outward. He believes that once every joint is strong and flexible, clients achieve a balanced fitness program and a body ready to handle any challenge.

Exciting Announcements from Dr. Neel

I share some exciting...

In this deeply moving and essential episode, I sit down with two incredible voices in the birth world: Dr. Stuart James Fischbein, MD, and Blyss Young, LM, CPM.

This conversation tackles the most difficult and unexpected birth scenarios, focusing on how birth professionals and families can navigate loss and trauma with integrity and compassion. Dr. Stu and Blyss courageously reflect on a challenging breech birth they assisted together, prompting a crucial discussion on managing high-stakes situations.

🚨 DISCLAIMER: This episode discusses loss, grief, and a very difficult birth experience. Listener discretion is advised.

We dive into the power of storytelling—how sharing our birth narratives influences care, challenges rigid hierarchies, and ultimately makes all the difference when conflict arises. We also explore the roles of midwives as guides, the expansion of regulatory agencies, and the importance of cognitive resonance in the birth space. Finally, I ask Dr. Stu and Blyss to reflect on their own "personal legends" and the missions that guide their profound work.

• Dr. Stuart James Fischbein, MD (Dr. Stu): Stuart James Fischbein MD is a community-based obstetrician and an Associate of the American College of Obstetrics & Gynecology, published author of the book “Fearless Pregnancy, Wisdom & Reassurance from a Doctor, A Midwife and A Mom” and peer-reviewed papers Homebirth with an Obstetrician, A Series of 135 Out of Hospital Births, Breech birth at home: outcomes of 60 breech and 109 cephalic planned home and birth center births and Twin home birth: Outcomes of 100 sets of twins in the care of a single practitioner. After completing his residency at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles, CA, Dr. Stu, as he is known, spent 24 years assisting women with hospital birthing and, for the next 12+ years, was a homebirth obstetrician who worked directly with midwives assisting local Southern California families. Since retiring from attending home births in late 2022, Dr. Stu has turned his focus to traveling around the world as a lecturer and advocate for reteaching breech & twin birth skills, respect for the normalcy of birth and honoring informed consent. He hosts the weekly Birthing Instincts Podcast with co-host Blyss Young and together they offer hope, reassurance and safe, honest evidence supported choices for those women who understand pregnancy is a normal bodily function not to be feared.
• Blyss Young, LM, CPM: Blyss Young, LM, CPM, is a home birth midwife, educator, and advocate for holistic maternity care. She co-founded The Sanctuary Birth & Family Wellness Center in Los Angeles, the first collaborative birth center of its kind, after nearly a decade of serving thousands of families and learning from renowned experts like Suzanne Arms, she transitioned to a more intimate midwifery practice supporting families through pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. Blyss is also the co-host of the Birthing Instincts Podcast with Dr. Stuart Fischbein, where they explore the art and science of birth outside the system. Currently, she is traveling the country interviewing traditional midwives for her newest project, At Her Feet, a podcast dedicated to preserving and sharing the ancestral wisdom of midwifery. Through her work with The Bridge Midwives, Blyss continues to mentor and inspire the next generation, helping to restore connection, intuition, and autonomy to the birthing experience.

In this fascinating episode, I sit down with the inventor, and pioneer in frequency healing, Gail Lynn. Gail is celebrated for her groundbreaking creation, the Harmonic Egg® and the LiFT™ light capsule, helping to foster a beautiful shift in personal wellness.

I share my personal, immersive experience inside the Harmonic Egg, and Gail takes us through her incredible journey of intuition, insight, and intention that led to its invention.

The Harmonic Egg is a wooden, egg-shaped, resonant chamber designed with Tesla mathematics, sacred geometry, and the Golden Mean Ratio (a dodecagon shape!). It uses sound, color, and light—specifically, consciously curated music pieces and custom color selections—to create high-frequency vibrational experiences.

While you recline in a zero-gravity chair, the vibrational energy builds within the chamber, connecting with your Autonomic Nervous System (ANS) to allow the natural, homeodynamic healing of mind, body, and spirit. Tune in to understand the mechanics of this self-evolving energy technology and learn how we can build resilience in our own lives!

Welcome to a deeply insightful episode of Compromised to Alchemized with the phenomenal Jennifer Tow! Jennifer has dedicated over 35 years to holistic lactation, guided by a deep curiosity about the physiology of wellness. She is a pioneer in integrating epigenetics, the microbiome, gut-brain health, and oral functional competency into lactation care.

Jennifer has practiced holistic lactation and guided parents in raising their children holistically for over 35 years. A fascination with the physiology of wellness has led her on a decades-long journey exploring the many influences on infant health that come to define long-term human well-being. She has a particular interest in epigenetics and the microbiome, gut-brain health, oral functional competency and airway development, always seeking to understand and apply the profoundly far-reaching implications of this work for breastfeeding dyads.

While residing between the USA & France from 2010-12, Jennifer established an international client base, becoming adept at providing care virtually, a process that ultimately honed both her listening and observational skills and resulted in a flourishing global practice. With a Master's degree in Holistic Health Coaching, Jennifer's reputation for guiding parents through complex breastfeeding challenges is deeply grounded in her approach to the breastfeeding dyad as a complex, interdependent eco-system, resulting in her Heal the Mother, Heal the Baby™ philosophy of care. Jennifer is an avid learner, integrating numerous holistic modalities and an ever-expanding skill-set into her practice, focusing on the nutritional, environmental and cultural factors that influence milk production and overall wellness of the dyad, myofunctional therapy and bodywork.

Jennfier is a writer and lecturer, offering workshops internationally and via webinar on lactation & epigenetics, gut health & healing, tongue-tie & airway development and holistic lactation practices. She offers a year-long advanced course in Integrative and Holistic Lactation. She is a founding member of IATP (the International Affiliation of Tongue-tie Professionals) and founder of the Holistic Lactation Institute.

Jennifer is the mother of three children born at home in 1988, 92 & 98 and a granddaughter born at home in 2009. She has come to deeply embrace the wisdom and humility gained from gestating, birthing, nursing and parenting those three amazing human beings.
