Healthy Mind, Healthy Life

Is your inner critic running the show? What if the voice inside your head isn’t even yours—but a residue of trauma, stress, or dysfunction? In this eye-opening episode of Healthy Waves, host Avik dives deep into the science behind cellular healing with Claire Martinsen, CEO of Biobloom Injectables. Claire breaks down the truth about NADH and B12—how these molecules work at the mitochondrial level to support energy, mental clarity, emotional regulation, and trauma recovery.

We explore how NADH + B12 injections can outperform oral supplements, support therapy and somatic work, and offer real, bioavailable healing—not just hype. Claire shares her personal journey of transformation, including relief from ADHD symptoms, hormonal imbalances, and chronic fatigue—all by supporting her cells instead of suppressing symptoms.

This isn’t just about wellness trends—it’s molecular repair from the ground up. Whether you’re a high achiever on the edge of burnout or someone healing from trauma, this episode offers powerful, science-backed insights for real transformation.

ABOUT THE GUEST:
Claire Martinsen is the CEO of Biobloom Injectables, a science-driven wellness company focused on bioavailable solutions for mental clarity, energy, and healing. With a background in biology and public health, Claire bridges cutting-edge research with practical application, helping people unlock their potential—cell by cell.

KEY TAKEAWAYS:

• NADH (Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide + Hydrogen) is a stable, bioavailable form that supports cellular energy (ATP production), brain health, and DNA repair.

• Unlike NAD+, which needs conversion and loses potency through digestion, NADH IM injections bypass the gut and deliver 100% absorption.

• Combined with methylated B12, NADH boosts dopamine, serotonin, and oxygenation in the brain—enhancing focus, mood, and nervous system resilience.

• Claire shares how NADH helped with her ADHD, back pain, gluten intolerance, immune response, and hormonal balance—without side effects.

• Bioavailable supplements like NADH+B12 complement trauma therapy and somatic work by stabilizing the nervous system and accelerating healing.

• Biobloom Injectables is committed to accessible wellness grounded in science, with transdermal patches and sublingual formats underway.

• Claire’s mission is rooted in loss—creating this work in honor of her best friend who died by suicide. Her goal is to make mental wellness and biological repair available to all.

In this episode of Healthy Waves, host Avik Chakraborty speaks with Brian Wardale about building emotional resilience in both children and adults, breaking the stigma around mental health, and addressing topics like hopelessness and suicide with honesty and compassion. Brian shares his powerful personal journey of overcoming deep depression and a life-altering suicide attempt, and how those experiences shaped his work today with the "Survivors of Hopelessness" initiative. The conversation dives into how we can equip children as young as eight with emotional literacy, how parents and schools can model resilience, and why early interventions can save lives. If you care about the mental and emotional well-being of today’s youth, this episode is an essential listen.

About the Guest:
Brian Wardale is the co-founder of Survivors of Hopelessness, an initiative that creates programs and resources to help children and families develop emotional resilience. Through his own lived experience with depression and loss, Brian now advocates for creating safe spaces where young people can talk openly about their feelings and be supported through life’s challenges.

Key Takeaways:

• Emotional resilience is a skill that can be taught early, not just a personality trait.

• Conversations about emotions, suicide, and hopelessness must start at home, just like teaching children how to cross the street.

• Parents and educators need to model emotional literacy; kids can spot hypocrisy when told to “be resilient” but not shown how.

• Strong emotions can drive serious decisions—waiting even one more day before acting can be life-saving.

• Programs like Survivors of Hopelessness bridge the gap between traditional academics and vital emotional survival skills.

• Small interventions—one trusted adult, one moment of understanding—can dramatically change the course of a child’s life.

Can horror be healing? In this compelling episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik Chakraborty speaks with author Risa Patterson, who shares how her supernatural thriller Firebug channels trauma, grief, and ancestral wounds into creative storytelling. From quitting her full-time design job to navigating imposter syndrome and the world of self-publishing, Risa dives deep into how horror can serve as a metaphor for transformation. Discover how metaphor, emotion, and messy first drafts can ignite true healing and creative freedom. Whether you're a writer, mental health advocate, or someone navigating deep emotions, this episode offers raw insight into reclaiming your story—even the darkest chapters.

About the Guest:
Risa Patterson is a graphic designer turned full-time writer. She’s the author of Firebug, a dark, supernatural thriller that explores generational trauma and emotional repression through horror. With a background in design and a passion for storytelling, Risa brings metaphor, creativity, and psychological depth to her fiction.

Key Takeaways :

• Horror as a Healing Medium: Risa shares how horror fiction like Firebug can surface universal truths like grief, shame, and generational pain through powerful metaphor—monsters, ghosts, and curses are never just what they seem.

• Unintentional Truths: While she didn’t start with the intent to explore trauma, Risa realized after finishing her novel that it reflects her own healing from family patterns and emotional repression.

• Writing as Emotional Release: Drawing from authors like Anne Lamott (Bird by Bird), she champions the “shitty first draft” and how embracing imperfection allows writers to express the inexpressible.

• The Courage to Leap: Her decision to quit her job and pursue writing full-time came from trusting her instincts and honoring her voice, even in the face of uncertainty and fear.

• The Reality of Self-Publishing: Risa debunks the myth that traditional publishing is the only valid path, sharing how she’s taking creative control, managing her own book design, and preparing for launch independently.

In this compelling episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik Chakraborty sits down with Kenneth Leaver—a serial entrepreneur and founder of Reviv—to explore the unspoken connection between mental health, anxiety, and the physical body. From his intense journey through anxiety attacks during high-stress startup life in Vietnam to discovering how dental biomechanics and simple tools like mouth guards helped him regain control, Kenneth brings a bold, refreshing lens to mental wellness. If you’ve ever felt like anxiety is running your life—or you’re tired of generic advice—this conversation will shift your perspective and offer practical tools. Tune in for powerful insights into burnout, physical health, and how high performers can stay grounded without sacrificing excellence.

About the Guest – Kenneth Leaver:
Kenneth Leaver is a global strategist and startup leader who has scaled six startups and now leads Reviv, a cutting-edge dental biomechanics brand. He also serves as a fractional COO at a venture-funded solar company. Kenneth brings a unique voice to the mental health conversation, blending hard-earned experience with physical innovation.

Key Takeaways :

• Anxiety is not just emotional—it can be physical. Kenneth shares his story of severe anxiety triggered after dental work, revealing a surprising connection to jaw tension and alignment.

• A decade-long journey led to Revive, where Kenneth now helps thousands overcome anxiety using flat mouth guards worn during sleep—no therapy, just biomechanics.

• High performance ≠ burnout. Kenneth juggles multiple roles without anxiety or burnout by focusing on physical recovery, setting boundaries, and avoiding hustle culture.

• Know your limits. Kenneth reminds high achievers that pushing past physical or mental limits is counterproductive—"Boundaries are not a weakness; they're strategic.”

• The simplest tools matter. Nature, breath, quiet reflection, and even a $5 night guard can make profound changes in mental health.

• Understand your anxiety thresholds. A little pressure may boost performance, but excessive anxiety undermines confidence and cognitive function.

In this deeply grounding episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik Chakraborty is joined by Greg Vost and Michael Nolan co-founders of Embodied Recovery for a transformative conversation on trauma, addiction, and nervous system healing. If you’ve ever felt like traditional talk therapy or medication wasn’t enough, this episode offers a new perspective.

Greg and Michael reveal why many people stay stuck in cycles of anxiety, depression, or chronic pain despite doing “everything right.” They share the science and spirit behind their embodied recovery model, how breathwork like Sundo rewires the nervous system, and why emotional healing must be felt in the body—not just thought about. They even guide listeners through a powerful live energy practice.

Whether you’re navigating mental health struggles or simply seeking more presence in a chaotic world, this episode invites you to reconnect with your inner rhythm.

About the Guests:
Greg Vost and Michael Nolan are the founders of Embodied Recovery, a cutting-edge treatment center in Silicon Valley. Blending ancient wisdom, modern psychology, 12-step recovery, and the breathwork lineage of Sundo, they offer a holistic path to healing that moves beyond symptom management into embodied transformation.

Key Takeaways:

• The nervous system is the foundation of emotional and physical health. If dysregulated, it can manifest as anxiety, chronic pain, or emotional reactivity.

• Healing is not just about talking—it requires embodied practices that shift how we feel and act, not just what we think.

• The breath is a powerful mirror of the mind. Developing a breath practice like Sundo cultivates calm, clarity, and resilience.

• Embodied Recovery blends daily breath practice, somatic awareness, 12-step support, and emotional unwinding to help people find lasting transformation.

• Emotional healing is not secondary to physical healing. Chronic emotional stress does show up in the body—and often drives illness or pain.

• Even a simple practice like mindful tapping and breath can awaken your energetic awareness and begin the healing journey from within.

• Healing doesn’t happen overnight. It’s a consistent relationship with self—built through gentle awareness, presence, and practice.
