Kevin T. Murphy, MD began his career as a radiation oncologist specializing in tumors of the central nervous system, or brain and spinal cord, with a focus in pediatric patients. He was a pioneer and thought leader in the field of frameless stereotactic radiosurgery in both pediatrics and adults, a technique now used worldwide. The development of PrTMS® was inspired by Dr. Murphy’s quest to alleviate the symptoms of his son’s autism spectrum disorder as well as the cognitive decline (or “chemobrain”) that often plagued his cancer patients after chemotherapy and radiation. In 2017, Dr. Murphy founded PeakLogic, Inc., and by 2020, he pivoted from oncology to focus full-time on PrTMS® and empower physicians worldwide to improve the lives of patients suffering from neurocognitive and neurobehavioral conditions. Since then, PrTMS® has been used to treat countless different neurocognitive and neural disorders or deficits as well as has garnered praise from active duty and military Veterans, and professional athletes seeking peak human performance.

Dr. Shane Creado is a double board-certified sleep medicine doctor & psychiatrist. He practices functional sleep medicine, integrative psychiatry, & sports psychiatry. He completed a degree in physical therapy at the top of his class, completed an MD at the top of his class with a gold medal. He went on to psychiatry residency at the University of Wisconsin & was awarded the graduating resident award for academic achievement. He completed a fellowship in Sleep Medicine at the University of Wisconsin, Wisconsin Sleep and the world-renowned Center for Consciousness.
He saw that sleep was neglected or only addressed when a problem arose. When looking at the existing sleep landscape, he saw that most sleep ‘experts’ on TV or read about online are not sleep doctors. They are usually self-described sleep coaches, or at best, researchers or psychologists who are unaware of complicated health diagnoses, organ system interactions, have no training in medicine or underlying factors contributing to insomnia/sleep problems and are unable to prescribe/order tests & treatments. Those who are sleep doctors, are not trained in the gold-standard treatment of insomnia: CBT-insomnia or integrative, multi-level approaches to treating sleep & mental health disorders often only resorting to medications to only treat symptoms instead of root causes. It was this realization that drove him to write the book ‘Peak Sleep Performance for Athletes’, the cutting-edge sleep science that will guarantee a competitive advantage. It debuted #1 in Sports Medicine on Amazon. He is also a contributing author to 6 principal books in Sports Psychiatry. He has remained at the forefront of sports psychiatry for several years, co-authoring the paper 'First International Consensus on Sports Psychiatry' in 2024 and psychiatric treatment preferences of sports psychiatrists in 2024. He consults with individual athletes & provides sleep workshops to sports academies, sports organizations, sports teams. He provides ‘Sleep Retreats’ to organizations/companies, with education on sleep and performance, screening for sleep disorders, and specific strategies to improve sleep & workplace productivity. He has been on the Board of Directors of the International Society for Sports Psychiatry (ISSP) for several years, currently the VP North America for the ISSP, Delegate for the USA for the International Summit on Advancing Sports Psychiatry, chair of the Sleep Performance Committee and Chairman of Innovation and Technology. He consults with the Amen Clinics and is the host of the Overcoming Insomnia course, available on Amen University, and has designed a best-selling personalized sleep supplement line for BrainMD. He also has consulted with the PGA tour Europe, the NBA Players association, the Australian Football League and the US Olympic and Paralympic Committee, Chicago Blackhawks, the Rafa Nadal Academy. He is the sleep consultant for the Sun Belt Conference (16 university athletic programs under the NCAA), is the sleep consultant for BrainTap, is on the advisory board for Mens Fitness and many more. He has been endorsed/mentioned by/consulted with a host of elite clients/colleagues such as Dr Daniel Amen, Team Body Works UK (triathlete academy), Team USA’s Dr. Todd Stull, Team Canada’s Dr. Carla Edwards, Team Australia’s Dr. Ranjit Menon, Mike Bryan, Jim Kwik, Erik Spoelstra (head coach Miami Heat), Hannah Brown, Hulda Quebe, Nick Hardwick, Washington University mens basketball, Danni Wyatt, LeAnn Rimes, Miranda Kerr, Stephen Cloobeck, several current Olympic athletes, many elite current/ retired athletes, the Enhanced Games, the Harvard Football Players Wellness Study and several other CEOs, founders and business leaders.

Mark Faulkner is passionately committed to leveraging the power of science to help everyone live their best, healthiest, and most active lives. An avid inventor and innovator, he holds 19 patents and has founded several companies rooted in science and dedicated to world-class research. Mark’s goal is to revolutionize global health through innovation in the nutraceutical and biochemistry markets. Mark co-founded a forensic toxicology lab that specialized in athletic drug testing. He was committed to keeping athletes safe, and the lab’s original staff developed the steroid testing program for the National Football League (NFL). The lab’s work included testing for many Olympic and NCAA athletes. His passion for helping athletes find safe, effective products to improve their endurance led him to launch Vireo Systems in 2002. Mark and his team of scientists conducted peptide and amino acid research in partnership with leading universities. His goal was to find a safe and effective option for steroids. His team began to focus on creatine but found the products on the market lacking efficacy. The Vireo team started to focus on creatine hydrochloride (C-HCI.) The team synthesized a molecule, a unique form of creatine, and discovered it was a super strong version of creatine. The resulting product proved to be not only safe but outperformed the leading sports nutrition options. Mark trademarked the supplement and called it CON-CRET. Today, CON-CRET is the #1 absorbed and best-selling, most widely licensed creatine. It is the only form of creatine that delivers superior performance results without adverse side effects, such as digestive distress, often associated with creatine. The creatine research has been ground-breaking, and the team has been awarded numerous patents for their work. Research continues to reaffirm the efficacy of creatine and demonstrate the additional product benefits, including providing energy to all cells, including immune-boosting t-cells. Vireo is a Latin word for health, and Mark is passionate about improving the lives of people and pets by delivering premium, healthy products through world-class research, innovation, and manufacturing.

Andrea Zimmerman and Ivy Emery are Board Certified Women's Health Nurse Practitioners and co-owners of Harmoni Wellness. They have served in OBGYN for over 20 years combined. While working in the OBGYN field, they identified a gap in care around perimenopause, menopause, pelvic floor/ vaginal and sexual health. They started their own practice last April to address not only these gaps in care but to change the manner in which the care is delivered. They recognize that the key elements of providing care for women are: 1) taking the time to listen, 2) asking questions about sexuality, vaginal and mental health that are often omitted in standardized care, 3) educating clients and offering safe, evidenced-based options so women can choose the care plan right for them, and 4) following up with clients to ensure questions are answered and therapies are adjusted if needed.

In 2019 Chaandani Khan’s world was turned upside down by a brain injury caused in a car accident, which left her navigating persistent post-concussive symptoms (PPCS). Making tea, washing clothes and sending emails became monumental challenges and her familiar, fast-paced lifestyle appeared impossibly far out of reach. She worked hard in her recovery appointments yet was left feeling unseen, unheard, and unsupported overall, in a system full of gaps. Through self-expression, intentional personal growth and key strategy development, she began reclaiming her life. This journey sparked a mission: to help others avoid the same struggles. Her business - Return to Life - was born from this fire, ensuring PPCS survivors are equipped, understood, and empowered to rebuild their lives – on their terms.

The man, the myth, the legend, my one and only, my husband, Mr. Don Dickey. Don’s life reminds me of a Dos Equis commercial –he’s the most interesting man you’ll meet. He has been a firefighter, rodeo cowboy, heavy equipment operator, and owned his own construction company, among many other roles leading to his current production supervisor role where he recently was recognized as a top manager. We have been together for 2.5 years, going on 5 months of marriage. Of all of his roles, little did he realize that one of the most demanding he would hold would be supporting me after the accident. When the kids took over the mic a few weeks ago, he looked at me and asked when he gets to do an episode with me, so here we are.

When Joan’s husband, Greg, was injured, she thought they hadproper plans in place. Greg, a medically retired police officer, EMT, and firefighter of 26 years was injured on the job.Joan quickly realized within the year after her husband’s injury, that worker’s compensation and the pension plan were NOTenough for her family to be financially secure. After years of paying costly out-of-pocket medical bills totaling more than $55,000 (with maxed out credit card debt alone), the family received no reimbursement.When Greg’s compensation finally kicked in, it was only a fraction of his salary, leaving a huge income gap, and causing massive financial stress on the family.As a CPA, Joan learned how to leverage the tools she uses in her business to survive this challenge. She went from being astay-at-home mom with a part- time accounting firm, to supporting her family with a full-time business that specializes in financially serving police and first responders who feel uncertain about their future - whether they are healthy or disabled.

Laurel Brennan is the founder of RootCauseology where she helps women optimize their brain health and reduce dementia risk by creating therapeutic partnerships and addressing root causes.
She is a registered and licensed occupational therapist, a registered yoga teacher, a functional medicine practitioner, a certified health coach, and a ReCode 2.0 coach and practitioner with Apollo Health.
In all areas of her work, her focus is to create an environment with a “Just-Right Challenge” for clients to move at a pace that is just right for them. She has a love for people, a passion for lifelong learning, and feels honored to walk hand in hand with others on their health and wellness journey.

Her mother died from dementia in 2019 following years of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and she has a particular interest in the connection between autoimmune disease and dementia. The learning, healing, and love shown by practitioners, family and friends on her personal path motivate her to be that beacon of light for others going through similar challenges.
She loves spending time hiking, walking and talking with girlfriends, doing community gardening, composting, and looking for little daily joys. She lives in Maryland with her husband, three children, father, and canine buddy, Rocco.

Jeff was born in Ft. Collins, CO. When he was 2 weeks old, it was confirmed that he had hydrocephalus and aqueductal stenosis. After confirming the diagnosis, Jeff had his first brain surgery. Over the next few years, he had several surgeries, most related to hydrocephalus through about age 10. When he was 18, the summer after graduating from high school, he had a couple more hydrocephalus-related surgeries (one of which was a revision). Following high school, Jeff traveled the world for a year as a singer with a group called Up with People, became a productive, working adult, married Catherine, and we now have 3 amazing children that are growing up way too fast.
Between 2013 and 2022, he had 6 more surgeries - 5 of them were directly related to hydrocephalus, and one was complicated by the fact that Jeff’s had so many other surgeries. Having 4 brain surgeries in 8 years took its toll and Jeff experienced several health challenges (migraines, cluster headaches, seizures, dizziness, and severe, involuntary ticks) which limited his ability to work and do a lot of things he loved to do. Despite all that, Jeff has started Hydro with Hope, a company born out of Jeff’s desire to serve the hydrocephalus community by offering tangible help and encouragement through online and in-person resources. They also endeavor to increase awareness of hydrocephalus and normalize hydrocephalus-related vocabulary for friends and family of hydrowarriors. To that end, Jeff & Catherine have created a journal called “My Hydrowarrior Story” designed to help people with hydrocephalus be able to record their journey from diagnosis to surgery and beyond. Jeff is also speaking to audiences to increase awareness and to share the recently-released journal with the world.

People can overcome illness and chronic health conditions because when the human body is taken care of it can heal. By taking a natural approach with an individualized care plan that includes testing, use of herbs and supplements, and educating on lifestyle, Tami is able to help her clients improve their health, so they can take control of their lives. Getting down to the “core” of their health concerns is the main focus, along with inspiring them to live healthier lives.
With over a decade of experience working as a Certified Nurse Practitioner with patients in acute care and seeing patients with acute illness, chronic conditions and mental health concerns it became abundantly clear that something had to change. These patients were taking medications to help their symptoms, but through her encounters with them she kept asking herself WHY are they experiencing these symptoms since the body is meant to heal and not be in constant turmoil that needs to be fixed with a medication. The answer always came back to inflammation, but the reason for the inflammation became the question and this is why the individualized testing through Core Health and Wellness is important.
