How to Rewire Your Brain and Culture with Experiential Neuroscience | Ep 41 | Fountain of Vitality

August 13, 2023. Thayne Martin had a seizure mid-swim and sank to the bottom of his pool. He woke up alive at the bottom, and the bitter, angry version of him did not come back up with him. Twenty plus years of professional therapy had helped him talk about the damage. It had not rewritten it. What finally did was a $100 bill handed to a stranger named Carla at a Carl's Jr. counter, and the wave of love it set off between his heart and his brain the moment he let it go. In this episode of Fountain of Vitality, host LaMont Leavitt sits down with Thayne Martin, CEO and Founder of It's Pure Love, to unpack the experiential neuroscience method Thayne built after that near-death experience reset his life. Thayne explains why talk therapy stops short of healing, how gratitude shuts down the amygdala in real time, and the five psychological techniques that rewrite the emotional operating system of individuals and organizations. He also walks through the AI culture diagnostic behind his work, a model reading 1,200 NLP signals across a company's communication to surface burnout, psychological safety, and executive capacity before any survey would. If you have ever wondered why talking about your patterns has not changed them, or why your company's culture survey keeps saying things are fine when they are not, this conversation lays out a different path. One that updates the body, not just the mind. Subscribe to Fountain of Vitality for conversations with leaders redefining health, longevity, and what it means to live with intention.

High Performance Engineering Systems for a Healthier Lifestyle | Ep 40 | Fountain of Vitality

JD Tremblay is one of three people who finished the EpicDeca, 10 back-to-back Ironmans across six Hawaiian islands. He is a Canadian military veteran, a biomedical engineer, a certified naturopath, and the Director of High Performance and Mental Resilience at Hungry Warrior Academy. His method for sustained high output is not what most athletes preach. It rests on a system he calls BRAIN, a redefined word most people get wrong, and a single non-negotiable you actually enjoy. In this episode of Fountain of Vitality, host LaMont Leavitt sits down with JD Tremblay to trace how a French-Canadian kid from a broken home moved through the Canadian Armed Forces, into a biomedical engineering degree at Western University, and into naturopathy because he wanted to test the systems on himself. JD coaches executives, elite athletes, and former operators at Hungry Warrior Academy, where his BRAIN framework breaks performance into blood chemistry, recovery, attention, inflammation, and nervous system. Listen as JD shares his BRAIN system, the discipline reframe that hinges on a non-negotiable you enjoy, what Kenyan runners do that most amateurs get backwards, and why slow training is the missing piece.

Regenerative Medicine Approaches to Brain and Physical Function | Ep 39 | Fountain of Vitality

Before he was 40, Dr. Fawad Mian had a torn shoulder, plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendinosis, and a knee surgery that turned out to have never been done right. One orthopedic doctor wanted to scope his knee without imaging. Another suggested chopping off his collarbone. A foot doctor wanted to detach a tendon and shave down bone. He was a board-certified neurologist watching mainstream medicine fail him in real time. In this episode of Fountain of Vitality, host LaMont Leavitt sits down with Dr. Mian, founder of Ascend Regenerative, to unpack how his own injuries pushed him into regenerative medicine. Dr. Mian explains why steroid injections damage the tissue they're meant to fix, how PRP and autologous stem cell therapy actually rebuild structure, and why most umbilical stem cells sold in bottles contain no viable cells at all. He also walks through the cognitive health work behind his Reclaim Your Mind course and why dementia prevention starts decades before symptoms. If you've been told surgery is the only option, or if you're watching your memory slip and wondering what to do about it, this conversation lays out a different path. One that uses what your body already came with, and treats the whole system instead of the symptom.

Better Health With a Raw Food Manifesto | Ep 38 | Fountain of Vitality

Axay Shah was 50 years old when he noticed something unsettling. The energy he had at 30 and 40 was gone. He looked at older friends in their 60s coping with arthritis, obesity, and diabetes, and refused to accept that future as inevitable. On December 5, 2009, at his mother's birthday dinner, he announced he would switch to raw food on January 1. His brother-in-law challenged the delay. The next morning, he started. In this episode of Fountain of Vitality, host LaMont Leavitt sits down with Axay Shah, founder of Raw Foodiest and author of In Nature We Trust, accepted into the Library of Congress in March 2026. Axay walks through 16 years of 100 percent raw eating, the energy bankruptcy that hits most adults by 5 PM, and the three stages he says every habit change runs through. He breaks down why the protein hype is overblown, how he lifts his 170-pound son at 145 pounds, and what it takes to run 8 marathons at 67 going on 68 without supplements or medications.

The Emerging Wellness Holistic Business Network | Ep 37 | Fountain of Vitality

Michelle Fletcher spent more than a decade in corporate IT before a parking lot conversation at her gym redirected her life. A stranger mentioned plant-based nutrition, and within two months, her 14-month-old son's chronic breathing trouble had cleared. Her diabetic father reduced his insulin dependence. That single interaction opened the chapter that is now the Holistic Business Network, a growing multi-state community of wellness practitioners. In this episode of Fountain of Vitality, host LaMont Leavitt sits down with Michelle to unpack how the 2020 pandemic redirected her mission. She moved past selling a single nutrition product and started spotlighting entire ecosystems of wellness practitioners. Michelle talks about physicians leaving traditional internal medicine for functional practice, the physical therapist who rebuilt her career around nervous system regulation, and the life hacks that protect discipline when blood sugar drops. Michelle also explains why so many gifted wellness practitioners stay invisible, and what she does to change that. The Holistic Business Network now runs chapters in South Florida, Orlando, Atlanta, the DC and Maryland region, and South Carolina, with plans to rebuild in California and Texas. Tune in to hear how one parking lot conversation became a wellness movement, and how Michelle helps the field's best kept secrets find their voice.
