With over 35 years of experience in functional neurology, Dr. Bagnell shares his personal journey into neuroscience—shaped by his father’s traumatic brain injury—and how it ignited his passion for helping others achieve optimal brain performance and whole-body wellness.

    In this powerful and deeply human conversation, Dr. Michael & May Bagnell welcome Jimmy Hill, former Royal Marine Commando and UK Special Forces operator, filmmaker, and advocate for healing after military service.

    Jimmy shares his extraordinary journey—from high-tempo special operations to surviving multiple gunshot wounds, years of rehabilitation, and redefining purpose beyond the battlefield. This episode sheds light on the realities of military life, the often invisible wounds of trauma, and the strength found in vulnerability.

    Together, the conversation explores Jimmy’s upcoming documentary In the Shadows, a film dedicated to amplifying the voices of operators, spouses, and specialists working behind the scenes to support those who serve.

    Listeners will gain insight into:

    • Military trauma, PTSD, anxiety, and depression
    • The difference between visible and invisible injuries
    • Why community, connection, and honesty are essential to healing
    • How identity shifts after service—and how to rebuild purpose and meaning
    • The importance of having something to train for, not just something to live for


    A standout moment of the episode includes a live review of Jimmy’s brain map, offering rare insight into brain connectivity, power levels, alpha and gamma brain waves, and how targeted brain training can support resilience, focus, emotional regulation, and long-term brain health.

    This episode is a message of hope for:

    • Veterans and active-duty service members
    • Families and spouses walking the journey alongside them
    • Anyone navigating trauma, identity shifts, or feelings of hopelessness


    Key takeaway:

    “The goal is to crush the identity of hopelessness.”


    This conversation reminds us that healing is possible, support is available, and resilience can be trained—both in the body and the brain.

    🎧 Tune in, share with someone who needs encouragement, and be reminded:
    You can heal. We can help.
