]]> Buzzsprout (https://www.buzzsprout.com) healthy brain The Healthy Brain Toolbox Podcast tom@tomjackobs.com https://storage.buzzsprout.com/laj2lwvy00rpqtl3uj50bozemwk1?.jpg The Healthy Brain Toolbox Podcast Dr. Ken Sharlin Ep 19 | Ironman Mindset Masterclass with JD Tremblay Ep 19 | Ironman Mindset Masterclass with JD Tremblay What happens when the human body is pushed through 10 Ironman-distance triathlons back-to-back, and what does the brain learn from that kind of pressure?

In this episode, JD Tremblay, ultra-endurance athlete, engineer, veteran, author, and founder of the Hungry Warrior Academy, shares what it takes to operate at the edge of human endurance.

But this conversation goes far beyond sport. JD breaks down how discipline is built through systems, why one non-negotiable can transform behavior, and why recovery and energy regulation matter more than constant output. He reframes pain, performance, and resilience in a way that connects to brain health and long-term well-being.


Key Takeaways

  • The difference between DNS, DNF, and Finisher
  • How pride delayed JD’s first triathlon
  • The power of your personal non-negotiable
  • Energy regulation and the B.R.A.I.N. framework
  • Tackling one “enemy” at a time instead of overhauling your whole life

In this episode of The Healthy Brain Toolbox, I sit down with Dr. Clint Carter, former ER physician and founder of MyMD Select Tyler, to examine what happens when a doctor steps outside the traditional insurance-based model and rebuilds care around time, access, and relationship.

  • The magic of direct primary care: no middlemen, no waiting rooms, no nonsense
  • How insurance might be costing you more than it’s helping
  • Functional medicine, food as medicine, and why “healthy” is a four-letter word
  • Why prevention isn’t just about popping pills

In the first episode of The Healthy Brain Toolbox, I’m joined by Jennifer Chester of Octave Bioscience, a seasoned neurology nurse practitioner turned biotech innovator, to explore one of the most exciting breakthroughs in MS care.

We dive into the science and story behind the Octave MS Disease Activity Test—a powerful new tool that could change how we detect, track, and treat Multiple Sclerosis.

Whether you're a clinician, a patient, or just curious about the future of neurology, this conversation is packed with insights you don’t want to miss.

🎧 Listen now to discover how precision medicine is reshaping MS management—and why this test might be the key to earlier, more effective interventions.

Key Takeaways

  • Jennifer’s journey from neurotrauma nurse to MS specialist (with a few family ties to neurology along the way)
  • What the MS Disease Activity (MSDA) Test is and why it’s a game-changer
  • How a blood test can detect disease activity before an MRI does (yes, really!)
  • The real-life patient story that made Jennifer a believer
  • What’s next: MS progression, Parkinson’s, and maybe even Alzheimer’s
