EP. 138 – Dr. Amir Vokshoor | Your Nervous System Is Overloaded… and You Think It’s Normal
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Modern life is neurologically expensive.
Stress.
Screens.
Notifications.
Hustle culture.
Poor sleep.
Caffeine.
Constant stimulation.
Many people are exhausted, inflamed, disconnected from their bodies… and calling it normal.
In this episode of ALLSMITH, Bryce sits down with board certified neurosurgeon, spine specialist, founder of the Institute of Neuro Innovation, and creator of the NeuroVella Brain Spa, Dr. Amir Vokshoor, for a deep conversation around the brain, spine, nervous system, and the hidden cost of modern living.
This is not just a conversation about surgery.
It is a conversation about the operating system of human life.
Together, Bryce and Amir explore nervous system overload, burnout culture, preventative brain care, spinal health, sleep deprivation, modern stress, technology, supplements, peptides, marijuana, motion preserving spinal surgery, and why many people are trying to optimize themselves while quietly ignoring the foundations.
Because by the time most people arrive at the operating room, the body has often been whispering for years.
At ALLSMITH, we believe peak expression begins by protecting the system that allows us to think clearly, move freely, regulate stress, and fully experience life.
This conversation is about building a stronger operating system for the one life we get to live.
