Rewiring the Brain: The Real Power of Light Therapy and Neuroplasticity with Dr. Brandon Crawford | EP 199

Most people don't realize how much things like lighting and everyday environmental factors can shape our brain—especially when it comes to healing from injury or supporting a child's development. That's what makes this conversation with Dr. Brandon Crawford so eye-opening. He's not just a Functional Neurologist—he's pioneering the use of light therapy (yep, lasers!) to help people with autism, brain injuries, and neurodegenerative diseases experience real breakthroughs. We got into how our bodies respond to different wavelengths of light and why the environment we live in matters way more than we think. Dr. Brandon also walked me through the NeuroSolution ESM method he co-developed—Energy, Sensory, Movement—and how he's using it to support lasting changes in the brain. What stood out most was how he's constantly asking "what's the root cause here?" instead of just managing symptoms. From helping non-verbal kids start speaking to supporting ALS patients in ways that go way beyond traditional care, his stories are both humbling and mind-blowing. And it's all rooted in science, not hype. We also chatted about the stuff no one talks about—like how your Wi-Fi, your lighting at home, even your baby's nursery setup can affect brain health. Dr. Brandon shared super practical tips you can actually use, whether you're supporting your child, recovering from a brain injury, or just trying to feel better overall. If you've ever wondered what's really possible when we create the right environment for healing, you'll want to hear this.
