Dr. John and Dr. Kyle Bills | Intention, Neuroplasticity, and the Science of Change
In this in-depth discussion, Dr. John and neuroscientist Dr. Kyle Bills explore the concept of neuroplasticity—the brain’s remarkable ability to rewire and change through intention, experience, and biological modulation. They connect spiritual and scientific perspectives, noting that practices like repentance, reframing thoughts, and setting clear intentions align with measurable neurological mechanisms such as BDNF spikes, dopamine release, and mTOR activation. The conversation emphasizes that our mindset and the stories we tell ourselves (“I am” statements) can either limit or liberate our potential to change.
Dr. Bills expands on the science of neuroplasticity by describing how activities like exercise, cold plunges, and intentional therapy stimulate neurochemical changes that reshape brain circuitry. However, he cautions that neurochemical boosts alone—whether from exercise or ketamine therapy—are not inherently beneficial unless paired with positive context and deliberate action. The two discuss the role of intention-setting in clinical treatments, sharing moving examples of how combining ketamine-assisted therapy with purposeful goals, like becoming a more patient parent, can lead to real behavioral transformation.
The conversation culminates with Dr. Bills’ groundbreaking research into mechanical neurostimulation. He explains how specific vibrational frequencies applied to the spine can modulate dopamine circuits, producing measurable reductions in anxiety and improved cognitive function—without drugs or surgery. His NIH-funded trials using a noninvasive “vibration chair” show promise for treating conditions like opioid withdrawal, anxiety, and potentially even sleep disorders and Parkinson’s disease. Both doctors close with gratitude for science’s role in helping humanity refine itself, bridge mind and body, and grow closer to divine potential through understanding and intentional change.
