Dr. Stasha Gominak on Sleep, Vitamin D & Women’s Health.

What if sleep, pregnancy, and women’s health are more connected to sunlight and the microbiome than we’ve been led to believe?

In this thought-provoking episode, Laura welcomes Dr. Stasha Gominak, a neurologist of 30 years who became a sleep expert. Drawing on her clinical experience, Dr. Gominak shares a perspective on the body as an interconnected ecosystem—and challenges listeners to stay curious about what conventional explanations may be missing.

Topics include:

• Dr. Gominak’s journey from neurology to sleep health
• How sleep, anxiety, and headaches may be connected
• Vitamin D, the microbiome, and the body’s wider ecosystem
• Pregnancy, postpartum depression, fertility, and menopause
• Why personalized care and listening to your body matter
• How nature, sunlight, and everyday rhythms fit into the conversation
• A rapid-fire round on sleep habits, supplements, and common health claims

Whether you’re interested in sleep, women’s health, or a broader view of how the body works, this conversation invites you to question assumptions and keep learning.

The Science of Water.

It covers most of our planet, makes up most of our body, and every living thing depends on it. Yet how much do we really understand about it? We're diving deep into the science of water: what we drink, how we bathe in it, how heat and cold change us, and why water may be far more alive than we think.

Bio: Professor Marc Cohen, known as Dr Marc, is a medical doctor, university professor and wellness trailblazer with more than 30 years of practice and research in holistic health. In 2002 he became Australia's first Professor of Complementary Medicine and Head of the Department of Complementary Medicine at RMIT University. He holds degrees in western medicine, physiology and psychological medicine, along with PhDs in Chinese medicine and electrical and computer systems engineering, and has published more than 100 peer-reviewed scientific papers.

DMT Quest Documentaries

Wim Hof Method Brainwave Study

What if DMT is not just a trip molecule, but something your brain makes all the time to shape mood, creativity, and even how you handle stress?

John Chavez, founder of DMT Quest, breaks down the newest science on endogenous DMT, the “spirit molecule,” and why altered states may hold clues to human potential and serious disease.

Laura Hof and John go deep on what DMT actually is, why it’s being found throughout the brain, and what that could mean for everyday waking reality.

John explains the difference between DMT and 5-MeO-DMT, why ayahuasca and endogenous “ayahuasca” matter, and how breathwork, cold exposure, meditation, and even fasting may influence these states.

He also shares the latest findings from his work with Wim Hof, including research showing significant shifts in gamma brainwaves, which are often associated with insight and neuroplasticity.

You’ll hear why DMT Quest is aiming at something more practical than psychedelic mystique: understanding whether these methods can help with depression, addiction, and neurodegenerative disease. John discusses the potential links between breath, cerebral fluid dynamics, glymphatic clearance, and Alzheimer’s research — and why the field needs to move from speculation to measurable results.
