Next Level Healing

Nancy Rynes, author of Awakenings from the Light, Walking in the Light, and Messages from Heaven, joins Dr. Tara Perry to share what happened when a distracted driver ran her over on a Colorado bike path, dragged her 50 feet, and left her with over 100 bone fractures — and what she experienced on the other side. A former scientist and committed atheist, Nancy returned from her near-death experience with a radically transformed understanding of consciousness, the soul, and what she now calls "home."
In this episode, Nancy walks through her life review, her spirit guide's beyond-telepathic communication, why she refuses to call it the "afterlife," and the daily practices that keep her connected to source energy a decade after her recovery.

45:11 Nancy's father appeared at the foot of her bed at the exact moment of his death, 250 miles away.
54:55 Nancy's bones healed in four weeks despite over 100 fractures — her doctors were stunned.

Allyne Betancourt, a member of the Dr. Joe Dispenza healing community, joins Dr. Tara Perry to share one of the most extraordinary healing stories on the show to date: how she was diagnosed with advanced colorectal cancer, cured it holistically before ever undergoing surgery, and then — after surgeons removed most of her rectum anyway — used meditation and visualization to regenerate the organ back to nearly full size. Allyne walks through her refusal to "own" her cancer, the alternative protocols she combined with traditional treatment, the devastating aftermath of a surgery she now believes was unnecessary, and the dark night of the soul that led her to Dr. Joe Dispenza's work. The conversation closes with the medical documentation of her regeneration, the forgiveness work that made healing possible, and her hard-won belief that anyone — not just the exceptional — has this same capacity for the impossible.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
(00:02:38) Diagnosed with advanced T3 colorectal cancer and told surgery and a permanent colostomy bag were her only option — and her calm, immediate decision to refuse
(00:05:37) "This is not my cancer" — why Allyne refused to own her diagnosis from day one, and how that mindset carried through seven months of treatment
(00:10:01) Combining traditional treatment with alternative approaches: organic-only foods, raising her own grass-fed beef, and daily Buddhist chanting for hours at a time
(00:11:54) Fasting five days before each chemo treatment — and the unusually severe reactions her oncologists had never seen before
(00:19:27) The pressure to have surgery despite inconclusive scans, and her repeated request that doctors simply look before cutting

(00:30:13) The physical toll of losing 8-10 centimeters of colon and most of her rectum: nonstop urgency, incontinence, and a dehumanizing new reality
(00:36:04) Getting the lab results back — no cancer found anywhere in the tissue that was removed
(00:37:15) Five months of worsening depression and a devastating conversation with her husband about not wanting to live like this anymore
(00:39:50) The turning point: "I'm either going to live like this, or I have to grow another rectum"
(00:46:04) Starting Dr. Joe Dispenza's meditation practice while running to the bathroom every 45-50 minutes, and the first sign of change after two months
(00:52:16) Confronting the surgeon who performed the operation — and learning she had no idea Allyne never had cancer to begin with
(00:59:50) The visualization practice Allyne used to dissolve scar tissue and "stretch" her remaining rectal tissue back toward full size
(01:10:18) The colonoscopy that documented her rectum had grown from 3 centimeters to 10 centimeters, with no trace of scar tissue
(01:15:46) Her message on breaking "the habit of being yourself" and why she believes healing the impossible isn't reserved for exceptional people

Quinton Sanicola joins Dr. Tara Perry for a wide-ranging conversation on subconscious reprogramming, near-death experiences, fasting, psychedelics, and the invisible "brakes" most people don't know they're driving with. Quinton opens up about his own experience going through Tara's hypnotherapy work after years of following Dr. Joe Dispenza, and the profound release he felt once his subconscious blocks were identified and rewritten. Tara shares the science behind why chronic stress keeps the body stuck in fight-or-flight, real client stories of autoimmune conditions and chronic pain resolving through this work, and why so many high achievers are secretly driven by unresolved trauma. The conversation ranges into near-death experiences, dry fasting, Vipassana meditation, and the nature of reality itself — closing with Tara's reflection that healing doesn't mean life's challenges disappear, but that we become far more resourceful and resilient in facing them.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
(02:58) Quinton's own experience with subconscious work after years of following Dr. Joe Dispenza — and the question that led him to go deeper: "How can I take this further?"
(04:50) "Running through mud" — Quinton's description of pushing through life without addressing what's really holding him back
(05:29) The release Quinton felt after his first session — like releasing the brakes on a car that's been driving with them on the whole time
(06:01) Why the invisible walls and hooks people carry usually got installed in early childhood and have nothing to do with who we are today
(07:35) Real client outcomes Tara has witnessed: autoimmune issues resolving, veterans with severe PTSD improving in two sessions, and chronic pain and food allergies disappearing
(09:47) The science of chronic stress — why living in fight-or-flight blocks the body's ability to heal, rest, and digest
(13:18) Two remarkable client stories: someone with severe food allergies who reintroduced foods after 90 days, and a Rottweiler attack survivor who avoided further jaw surgeries
(16:24) Why high achievers often carry unresolved trauma and imposter syndrome — including successful entrepreneurs who are uncomfortable asking for money
(19:07) Tara's recent deep dive into near-death experiences, including Dr. Eben Alexander's story and what "life reviews" reveal about what really matters
(24:10) A conversation on the simulation theory of reality, affirmations, and Tony Robbins' work on rewiring the nervous system through incantations
(31:51) Tara's experience with a 7-day dry fast, the mental clarity it brings, and why she considers it a powerful reset
(43:23) How addictive patterns like sugar, shopping, or alcohol are really the subconscious trying to fill a void — and why healing the root removes the need for the substitute
(47:12) Why even after deep healing work, life's challenges don't vanish — but you become more resourceful, resilient, and less triggered
(51:33) A look at the current research on psychedelics for reducing violent crime, addiction, and end-of-life anxiety — and the difference between therapeutic use and overuse

Serena Sabala, author of The Hormone Harmony Shift and co-founder of Whole Shift Wellness, joins Dr. Tara Perry to share how she healed from PCOS and debilitating hormonal symptoms that doctors told her had no cure — and built a life and career around holistic hormone health as a result. Serena traces her passion for wellbeing back to watching her father's mental health crisis unravel his life as a child, and shares the pivotal moments that shaped her own healing: moving out on her own at 18, discovering yoga in London, and finally uncovering meditation with her husband. She opens up candidly about her own diagnosis with PCOS at just 15 and premenstrual dysphoric disorder in her 20s — and how she reversed both without medication. The conversation closes with the three pillars she now teaches to help others achieve the same transformation, and a remarkable client story that shows just how life-changing this work can be.

(07:07) The pivotal moment at 18 when she moved out on her own and realized, for the first time, that she could feel good in the right environment
(08:01) Discovering yoga, then meditation, as the two turning points that took her healing to a whole new level

(19:22) A client's mother who joined a retreat, began a health transformation, and unknowingly caught a cancer early enough to have it surgically removed without chemotherapy
(23:19) Why Serena believes there's no better investment than your own mind and body — and the mindset shift high achievers need around health spending
(26:03) The biggest myths about hormones, and why a "one pill, one problem" approach to the endocrine system falls short
(28:34) Being diagnosed with PCOS at 15 and told there was no cure, then developing severe PMDD in her 20s that required maxing out painkillers just to function
(33:44) Reversing both conditions naturally — her gynecologist now tells her she has the reproductive system of a woman 10 years younger
(34:53) The three pillars of hormone harmony: the focus pillar (mindset and stress reduction), nutrition (including the psychology of eating), and movement (and why more exercise isn't always better)
(42:24) Where to find Serena's work, her free Hormone Harmony assessment, and her retreats in Sicily and Belize

Sylvester McNutt III, 10-time best-selling author, podcaster, speaker, retired arena football player, and father, joins Dr. Tara Perry for a grounded and deeply personal conversation on healing, identity, and reclaiming your story. Sylvester shares how growing up with two parents battling addiction through a violent divorce set him on a lifelong search for answers, why a stolen notebook at age 12 saved his life, and how football gave him both his greatest advantages and his biggest blind spots. He opens up about the difference between wallowing in the past and truly integrating it, the blind spots he sees in the high achievers he coaches, and why he refuses to pass a victim story down to his sons. The conversation closes with the mindset shift that changed everything for him — and a powerful invitation to stop beating yourself up and fall in love with your life right now.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
(02:46) What football didn't teach him — why sports prepare you to be an athlete but not for who you are when the identity is gone
(04:47) The athlete's advantage — with 60-70 plays a game, there's no luxury of shame or rumination; you learn to refocus and return to baseline fast
(07:58) What athletes hide — how fan culture dehumanizes athletes, why accepting verbal abuse is written into the job description, and the pain and fear that get masked
(13:41) How Sylvester is raising his own sons in sports — keeping it about fun and learning, not performance, pleasing dad, or going pro
(15:32) Growing up with two parents in addiction through a violent divorce, being separated from his brother and sister, and refusing to stay in a victim mentality
(18:31) The power of imagination — why he saw an "image" of a different life, how football became the one place his parents couldn't influence, and how school field trips showed him what was possible
(20:51) Why he chose communications as his college major: to solve the childhood riddle of what happened to his parents
(25:57) Wallowing vs. avoiding the past — how to know when a wound is truly integrated, and why Sylvester feels nothing but love when he tells his story now
(26:53) Holding parents accountable while honoring them — accepting the duality that his biggest pain points were also his biggest providers
(30:59) The blind spots of high achievers — imposter syndrome, inflated shame, lying to the people trying to help you, and the epidemic of missing boundaries
(37:37) The stolen 7-Eleven notebook that saved his life at 12 — and the full-circle moment when he returned as an adult to repay it
(39:20) The biggest mistake people make when they want a better life: obsessing over how it will happen instead of anchoring to why
(44:39) What 10-year-old Sylvester needed to hear — and the message every adult's inner child still needs: everything will be okay
(46:50) Sylvester's closing invitation: stop beating yourself up, and fall in love with your life right now
