  • Touching and Inspirational

    I had a wonderful time chatting up Brigitte Cutshall on the #realthingslivingpodcast. We talked about my my award-winning, bestselling debut poetry collection, “Still,” an Indie Earth Publishing Inc. publication, and a variety of other subjects including art, truth, self-development, immigration, and the nature of love. Brigitte is a wonderful host who is genuinely curious and kind, providing a space that is conducive to vulnerability. Give it a listen.

Oxygen Revolution: Reclaiming Your Health from Chronic Illness with Brad Pitzele
Q: What exactly is EWAT and how does it differ from traditional HBOT in terms of practicality and cost?
EWAT is a home-based modality that delivers high-purity oxygen during 15-minute workouts, offering similar oxygen exposure to HBOT but at a fraction of the cost and without leaving home; many patients start with a more affordable option and build from there, making it accessible to more people.
Oxygen Revolution: Reclaiming Your Health from Chronic Illness with Brad Pitzele
Q: It's turned into 1000 Roads, right? Can you tell us how that name reflects your mission?
The name represents gratitude after a difficult illness, a commitment to helping others, and honoring each person's unique health journey rather than pushing prescriptive solutions.
Beyond Coping: The Science of Higher Consciousness

Beyond Coping: The Science of Higher Consciousness
Q: What is the central hypothesis behind these blessings and their relationship to science?
