Brad began traditional treatments until he was diagnosed with malignant melanoma in 2014. Realizing that the treatments had a higher risk of cancer, Brad was determined to find a better way. On his healing journey, he discovered he had Lyme disease and a coinfection called Bartonella. Brad’s health continued to decline to the point where he could barely walk, he had severe brain fog and chronic fatigue issues. In 2016, his doctor recommended he either try hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) or exercise with oxygen therapy (EWOT).  After researching, Brad decided to try EWOT, but because he did not have confidence in what was being sold on the marketplace at the time, he decided to build his own. A year later, showing great improvements in health, his doctor asked him if he would start making EWOT systems for his patients, and One Thousand Roads was born with the mission of bringing down the price of EWOT so that more people could benefit from it.We seek to provide affordable, high-quality EWOT systems to people with chronic health challenges. Our goal is to spread both awareness and availability of EWOT systems so that many more people can experience the powerful healing of EWOT.Contacts:https://www.onethousandroads.com/https://www.facebook.com/OneThousandRoadsHQ/https://www.instagram.com/onethousandroadshq/https://www.youtube.com/@OneThousandRoadsHQhttps://www.tiktok.com/@onethousandroadsAbout the Host:Melissa is an Integrative Health Practitioner and a Board Designated Trainer of NLP, Time Line Therapy®, Hypnotherarpy, and NLP Results Coaching, helping people get to the root cause of their health issues and then get lasting results.

She highlights how the pharmaceutical industry prioritizes sales over health, and how the lack of oversight in generic drug manufacturing has led to dangerous quality issues.Doctors' lack of training in holistic health @ 5:21Melissa explains that most doctors receive little to no education on nutrition, environmental factors, and lifestyle impacts on health. Instead, medical training is heavily influenced by pharmaceutical funding, leading doctors to primarily prescribe drugs and procedures as quick fixes rather than addressing underlying causes.Mitochondrial damage and its role in chronic illness @ 9:54Melissa cites Dr. Casey Means' research showing that damage to the mitochondria, the powerhouses of our cells, is a key driver of chronic fatigue, disease, and other health issues. This mitochondrial damage is caused by factors like chemicals in our food, environmental toxins, chronic stress, and ultra-processed diets.The path to true healing @ 11:02Melissa outlines a holistic approach to healing that addresses the whole body, including diet, exercise, stress management, toxin reduction, quality sleep, emotional balance, and targeted supplementation. She emphasizes the importance of functional medicine testing to identify imbalances and create a personalized roadmap for restoring health.Healing the emotional, mental, and spiritual bodies @ 15:02Melissa explains that true health requires addressing not just the physical body, but also the emotional, mental, and spiritual aspects of well-being. This includes releasing stored emotions, replacing limiting beliefs, and aligning one's work and purpose with their passions and values.Call to action and resources @ 17:44Melissa encourages listeners to educate themselves further by reading the books she referenced, and to take ownership of their health by making informed choices.

She started health coaching on the side and eventually launched her own podcast "Salad with a Side of Fries" to share this knowledge with the world.Limitations of BMI and calorie-counting @ 7:44Jenn explains the problems with using BMI as a metric, as it does not account for body composition. She also debunks the "calories in, calories out" approach, highlighting how it can lead to an unhealthy cycle of weight loss and regain.The impact of diet on neurotransmitters and cognitive function @ 27:28Jenn discusses how our modern diets, toxin exposure, and lifestyle factors can lead to neurotransmitter imbalances, impacting our mood, energy, sleep, and cognitive abilities. She emphasizes the importance of nutrient-dense whole foods to support brain health.The role of alcohol and its effects on the body @ 33:45Jenn explains how alcohol primarily impacts the liver's ability to detoxify, leading to a cascade of health issues.

She also encourages listeners to seek support and guidance when making sustainable lifestyle changes.Closing thoughts and call to action @ 45:02Jenn emphasizes that while we may already know what to do, it's the small, consistent steps that make the difference. She encourages listeners to seek support and guidance to make the process easier, rather than trying to figure it out alone. About the Guest:Jenn Trepeck has been described as a "force of nature" in the wellness space. She’s been recognized as one of Podcast Magazine’s 40 under 40, nominated for the 2022 International Women’s Podcast Award for Visionary Leadership, and won Ear Worthy’s first Independent Podcast Award for best health podcast in 2024. Currently, Jenn is a nominee for the 2024 Women in Podcasting Awards for best health podcast and best expert guest. She is an Optimal Health Coach, Podcaster, and Business Consultant. Jenn grew up the skinny one in a family of dieters which was awesome(!) until it went away. And so began her weight management saga. Ultimately though, Jenn learned the nutrition education we’re all supposed to know but no one ever taught us. This completely changed her life and allowed her to say she “kicked her food issues.” From then, Jenn set-out on a mission to pay it forward and help people help themselves. After over a decade of working with clients, Jenn started Salad with a Side of Fries podcast. Based on science, yet lighthearted, Jenn talks about living life while still making ourselves and our health a priority. Contact:https://asaladwithasideoffries.com/ https://www.instagram.com/saladwithasideoffriespod/ @saladwithasideoffriespodhttps://www.instagram.com/jenntrepeck/?hl=en @jenntrepeckhttps://www.facebook.com/Saladwithasideoffriespodcast @saladwithasideoffriespodcasthttps://www.facebook.com/JenniferTrepeck @jennifertrepeckhttps://x.com/jenntrepeck?s=20 @jenntrepeckhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/jennifertrepeck/ @jennifertrepeck

He explains how the motorcycle community provides a sense of brotherhood and acceptance that helps heal trauma and stress.The Power of Mindfulness and Focus @ 13:21Melissa and Joseph discuss how riding a motorcycle forces you to be fully present and focused, acting as a form of meditation that clears the mind and allows access to the subconscious. This mindfulness and focus is deeply healing.Authenticity, Acceptance, and Community @ 17:54The core values of Joseph's Freedom Biker Tours business - authenticity, acceptance, brotherhood/sisterhood, and not judging - are deeply aligned with his personal philosophy.

He encourages people to embrace their true selves and accept the world as it is, at any stage of life.&nbsp;About the Guest:I’ve always been an explorer. Never really fit into any sort of mold so to speak. Always felt an urge and that need to get out and do things, see the world. Seeing the landscapes and experiencing other cultures and learning about them. I believe in asking ‘Why?’ and never judging. I was raised by an Officer and a Gentleman. My Father, who I lost in 2021 was 99 years old and a WWII veteran. He spent 30-years in the Royal Canadian Airforce.&nbsp;I’ve been riding motorcycles since I was a young man. The core values of Freedom Biker Tours are also my personal values, Authenticity, Acceptance, Freedom and Brotherhood. My professional life has been spent working in Travel, Tourism, and Hospitality. In Bars and Restaurants, I’ve worked Food and Beverage, and for Airlines as a Flight Attendant and in Operations. I’ve worked for Tour Operators and Travel Agencies and have many years' experience in the Accommodation sector in Hotels and Resorts. I’ve owned and operated a Campground &amp; RV Park and continue to operate a Tourism Consulting Firm. I’ve spent a fair amount of time on various boards as a director. Regarding the latter, politics really isn’t my thing. I’ve always loved riding, but as I grew older and more mature/seasoned, I found a home in the Motorcycle Culture and Biker Brotherhood. A culture whose core values are aligned with my own. Motorcycling, and specifically riding a Harley and the associated cultural aspect of that brand ignites a passion in me that had long been dormant. Learning about it, understanding, and subsequently fully embracing it when researching and writing my Graduate Degree Thesis was one of the most rewarding experiences of my life and I will always strive to receive a good dose of ‘Throttle Therapy’ whenever and wherever I can.&nbsp;&nbsp;https://www.freedombikertours.com/https://www.facebook.com/FreedomBikerTourshttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UCmTpkcJmdnElrnwG4_AMdRwhttps://www.instagram.com/freedombikertours/?hl=enhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/josephduboisdhg/https://www.linkedin.com/company/freedom-biker-tours/?viewAsMember=trueAbout the Host:M
