Meet Brandon Kolb
The future of healing has landed in Steamboat Springs, Colorado. If you are one of the many suffering from chronic pain, poor mental health, or disease, this blog post is especially for you!
Life Essentials Day Spa was purchased by Brandon Kolb and his company NuYu Wellness back in October. He, however, is not your average spa owner. He brings fresh energy and a spark of genius to holistic healing.
Brandon Kolb's life has been wrought with heartbreak, suffering, perseverance, and the ingenuity that comes with desperation. His journey and rapid deterioration of health have brought him to hell and back. Yet, it was at the moment that all hope seemed lost that he discovered the technology that led him to uncover massive blind spots in modern medicine. But I am getting ahead of myself. So let's start at the beginning. Hold on to your hats for this one, folks, because Brandon has one incredible story to tell.
Brandon was the son of two impressive athletes. He was born an energizer bunny, casually running half marathons before soccer games. His youth was filled with sports and activity, so it was no surprise when he left college to play sports professionally. After being drafted into baseball's minor leagues as a fourth-round pick, Brandon's life seemed laid out beautifully before him. He was known for his wicked fastball, but as time went on, he became equally known for his vicious panic attacks.
Unsurprisingly, becoming a major league pitcher did not quell his panic attacks.
Instead, it made them much worse, and now throwing anything besides a
fastball was out of the question—he felt crazy not being able to toss a ball to
his teammates because of what he perceived at the time to be a mental block.
He read every book possible on anxiety management and had some of the
best in the baseball business trying to help manage his "yips.”
He began self-medicating to overcome the anxiety, and then in 2003, a knee injury revealed that Brandon's body might be behaving much differently than his teammates. His doctors suspected an ACL tear, but when they cut into his leg, they found his ACL was so intensely calcified to his femur bone that it pulled the end of his femur clean off. A simple ACL tear became a broken thigh bone. The doctors were perplexed. This was not something they usually saw in someone so young, even if that someone was a professional athlete. He came back from this injury briefly in 2004, but a month into the season, he knew his career playing in the major leagues was over. He met his wife that summer, and life began to change for Brandon.
Then a few years later, things took a turn for the worst. He started to lose control of his fine motor skills. He couldn't pick up a pen and felt unsafe driving. He knew he had to do something drastic, so taking the advice of medical professionals, he began to cut out certain things from his diet, gluten, alcohol--anything he could think of that could be causing the problem. And for a while, things got a little better until he started losing his vision in 2008. The doctors found a massive blood clot in his right eye, another ailment that doesn't usually happen to the average 35-year-old. This eventually caused him to go legally blind in his right eye. The doctors were shocked that someone so young could suffer from this condition but chalked it up to one of those rare instances. He was taken to an oncologist and shot with a cancer drug for six weeks to save his right eye. This kept his eye stable, and he moved forward with his life. But he was still dealing with all sorts of pain, from orthopedic to more systemic problems.
Now that he had more time on his hands, Brandon started experimenting with different kinds of treatments—dry needling, cupping, infrared therapy, yoga--anything to manage Brandon's chronic pain. This was on top of regular cortisone shots, nerve blocks, and increasingly more frequent pain pills. He was teaching baseball clinics and raising his young boys, but around 2010 his cognitive health started to decline. First, he started losing sleep and becoming an insomniac, then he started losing days and forgetting meeting people altogether. The pain in his body was accelerating even though his level and intensity of physical activity had decreased.
He didn't realize that the heavy metals in his blood, from years of injected gadolinium MRI dye and cobalt tattoos, were giving him heavy metal toxicity. Nor did he realize that his genetic makeup had a significant role to play in his heavy metal retention.
In 2015, Brandon was training athletes, working out religiously, and trying to recover from the intense win-or-die lifestyle of a professional athlete. But his post-professional life was filled with the same intensity and obsession that fueled his fastball career. He couldn't go golf casually; he had to hit a golf ball 400 yards. He couldn't start a Soduku puzzle before bed; he had to finish it. Most people would chalk it up to neurotic behavior, which for a while, Brandon did too. Later he would learn that his obsessive and anxious behavior was another symptom of heavy metal toxicity.
The real shock to Brandon's health came when his back doctor went to administer routine cortisone shots and informed him that he would need to see a hip specialist. His hip was rubbing bone on bone and was in need of a replacement. A couple weeks later, he went in for surgery. After several failed attempts to implant a ceramic hip, the doctors pivoted and placed a cobalt, chromium, titanium, and aluminum implant in his hip, which began immediately leaking those metals into his system. Later this type of hip replacement would be recalled, but they wouldn't figure this out until 2019 and 2020. His hip replacement had pushed his heavy metal toxicity over the edge. Then within a few months came another shock. The doctors noticed both his biceps were calcified solid. He underwent more surgeries in June and August to repair his shoulders. Then in October, he snapped his Achilles, jumping into a pool. There was clearly something bigger at play. Here was another injury where he seemingly did nothing, which resulted in yet another surgery.
Finally, in 2018 he got the terrifying diagnosis that nobody wants to hear. It was Parkinson's Disease, the exact diagnosis that had taken his mother's life years prior.
With a family to fight for and an unwillingness to succumb to his mother's tragic and painful path, he hit stem cell therapy hard over the course of the following year. But his memory was failing him, and he was fading fast. His medication schedule became a full-time job. Things didn't look good for Brandon. After countless surgeries and a two-and-a-half-page list of daily medications ingested with military precision, the traditional medical route was coming up short. With death seemingly lurking around the corner, his options dwindled.
In a moment of desperation, he called the Player's Association. He explained what was happening to his body and every effort he had made listening to the best doctors in the country. He flew to see two former baseball players, Cameron and Cody Lowe, who had been healing themselves from sports injuries with a machine that administers tiny electric shocks. Upon arriving, a thermal imaging scan revealed that Brandon's body was on fire. His brain was no longer communicating with his body's organs. He was losing his ability to eat solid food and couldn't remember meaningful conversations or seeing a movie with his kids 72 hours prior. Simultaneously, Brandon caught wind of a faulty hip replacement recall. He called a lawyer to see if the hip replacement the doctors had used in his surgery was the same as the one that had been recalled. An investigation began.
Toward the beginning of December 2019, Cody and Cameron started him on that electric shock machine known as microcurrent therapy. This machine uses AI to detect which cells are holding onto toxic agents and cleanse only those infected cells. Ancient cultures would mimic this machine ten thousand years prior by building sandbanks, creating little pools, and stocking the pools with electric fish to shock themselves with small electric currents. The small amount of electricity would help regulate and regenerate their cells. With these treatments, so began the beginning of Brandon's healing. The microcurrent cleared the heavy metals out of his cells that had previously been genetically predisposed to cling to them.
This machine was revolutionary, but Brandon was so toxic with heavy metals that microcurrent alone wasn't enough. The microcurrent was releasing the heavy metals stored in his cells, but he would need the help of chelation to move them out of his body. Chelation is a process of introducing chemical compound chelating agents that bind tightly to metal ions and help move the toxic metals out of the body. However, chelation is an intense process, and Brandon was too weak to begin this therapy. Finally, in early 2020, Brandon felt a bit of strength return after a month with the microcurrent machine. He started getting seven hours of sleep a night after surviving off only two to three for months. In addition, his blood pressure was down 60 points. He began to consider chelation, but then, at the same time, he got confirmation from his lawyer that the hip replacement inside his body was in fact, the recalled heavy metal-leaking implant.
After a quick knee surgery to fix a bone spur, he finally got his hip implant removed right as the world shut down for Covid. He began removing the metals from his body with microcurrent and chelation immediately after.
Although he finally had the toxic hip implant removed and the chelation process was detoxifying, Brandon STILL kept getting sick. On top of this, he received a call from UT Southwestern Genetics confirming the presence of the Parkingson's gene in his DNA.
Relentless as ever, he kept fighting for his health until he found another doctor who suspected something else was at play--mold. Sure enough, A mold test revealed that he had all five types of dangerously toxic molds inside his body. He had to stop the chelation process until the mold infection was managed. At this point, Brandon began an all-organic diet and fungicide to prevent his gut biome from growing more mold, but by then, the mold infection had already made it to his brain, sinus, lungs, and gut. He added ozone treatments through a stethoscope that helped eliminate the sinus and brain infections and added more supplements and fungicide inhalers. These events led him to meet with a neurologist who made the discovery that half his cranial nerves were malfunctioning. He started treating the nerves with electro-current and began bringing those cranial nerves back online.
Through early 2022, he still suffered from histamine responses and pain, but he had taken his 2-and-a-half-page prescription list down to half a page. He still had an extra 25 pounds of excess weight on him, and his skin was still sagging off of his face. He started skiing again but couldn't ski for very long. He had last used the microcurrent machine in August of 2021 and missed the positive effects. So in 2022, he bit the bullet and bought his own microcurrent machine.
With the addition of regular microcurrent, he was able to take that half-page prescription drug list down to a handful of pills. Since then, Brandon has used the microcurrent machine to treat himself almost daily. As a result, he has lost the excess weight, his skin no longer droops off his face, and he recovers from orthopedic injuries with miraculous speed.
So what of the Parkinson's Diagnosis? Well, Brandon now had a working theory. With the help of some intrigued doctors, Brandon is on his way to proving that the Parkinson's gene causes cells to hold on to heavy metals, especially gadolinium, which create the deadly symptoms associated with Parkinson's. Growing up, his family had been exposed to uranium living next to a military base. Later in life, he was exposed even more intensely to gadolinium through MRI dye. There is currently an ongoing study to potentially reclassify the Parkinson’s gene and its effects on cells retaining heavy metals. As of now, they are searching for more case studies like Brandon.
Brandon recovered from the brink of death by using these technologies to heal from heavy metals and molds. However, Brandon's current doctor, Dr Fegley, couldn't ignore the psycho-social piece of his healing that was crucial for bringing Brandon's health back to 100 percent. Trauma always has its place within illness. We cannot discount this. Brandon had to recognize his familial trauma to return Brandon to his prior function. Brandon had watched his family die horrific and painful deaths that could have been prevented. Survival guilt weighs heavy on the heart and mind, and he says that recognizing these traumas has been essential to his recovery. The body is an intelligent system interconnected, and trauma is as important a factor as any physical injury.
When I look at Brandon now, I see someone who is healthy, in shape, and without a trace of illness. He has a new lease on life and now turns his healing determination to this community. By purchasing Life Essentials Day Spa, he has secured a home base for these miraculous treatments.
Unfortunately, heavy metals and molds are symptoms of our modern society. These toxins affect our bodies more than we realize. So instead of chalking up your depressive thoughts to the pesky winter blues, you might be experiencing some severe system failures in your body. That brain fog you have come to accept as normal most likely indicates that these toxins are present.
I have begun my own healing journey with microcurrent, and although that is a long story for another time, I will say that the microcurrent treatment I had done on my brain has changed everything for me. I feel a stark contrast in my mental health and look forward to continuing my own journey with the technology.
If you are struggling with ANYTHING, from fatigue to nerve damage--anything inhibiting you from living at your highest potential, it would be worth your time to inquire about this technology further. Poor mental health among the residents of this ski resort town has always concerned me. I've watched too many people suffer through unbearable pain and make the devastating choice to end their life too soon. If you are struggling mentally or physically, I urge you to at least talk directly to Brandon, as he is more than willing. Unfortunately, our western system of medicine is profoundly flawed, and evolving this system is integral to healing the intelligent system that is the human body.
