Welcome back to The Coach is In with Coach May Bagnell and Dr. Michael Bagnell!

This week, we’re diving deep into the powerful connection between chronic stress, hormone imbalance, and brain function—especially when your labs say you're "normal," but your body feels anything but normal. Coach May answers real-life questions from women navigating stress, brain fog, weight struggles, and kids constantly battling sniffles during the school year.

In this episode, we talk about:

• Why stress hijacks your hormones (and how cortisol plays the villain)
• How to shift your mindset and take back control
• The truth about fat loss vs. weight loss—and why your scale might be lying
• Key metabolic roadblocks like liver overload and hormone disruption
• Food sensitivities, histamine overload, and childhood immunity challenges

You'll walk away with actionable steps, hope, and the reminder that you are not stuck. You can heal. And we’re here to help. 💡

In this powerful episode of The Neuro Collective Podcast, Dr. Michael and May Bagnell dive deep into real-life questions submitted by listeners who are seeking answers about how to stay mentally sharp, focused, and balanced—especially as we navigate modern lifestyles filled with screens, stress, and technology.

In this “Doctor Is In” session, we answer three important and highly relevant questions:

✅ Do brain games really help improve cognitive function?
We discuss the science behind gamified brain training apps like BrainHQ, as well as traditional activities like Sudoku, crossword puzzles, and Wordle. Are they just fun pastimes—or do they actually enhance memory, attention, and focus?

✅ Is your smartphone affecting your brain?
We explore the often-overlooked risks of prolonged cell phone use, EMF (electromagnetic frequency) exposure, and what that radiation plume could be doing to your brain health. Learn practical ways to protect yourself and your family—from how you use your phone to where you place your modem at night.

✅ Why am I still dizzy if my ENT says I’m fine?
A listener shares her struggle with ongoing dizziness despite no sign of “crystals” in her ears. Dr. Michael explains how balance and vestibular issues may stem from deeper brainstem imbalances, and why central nervous system care might be the missing link to long-term relief.

Whether you’re a busy professional trying to stay sharp, a tech user concerned about the effects of screen time, or someone dealing with lingering dizziness or brain fog—this episode will give you hope, clarity, and next steps.

🎧 Listen in for:

• Science-backed insights
• Actionable tips to protect and improve brain function
• Encouragement to pursue healing, no matter where you are in your journey

You can heal, and we can help.
