Faith & Discipline Rebuilding Physical And Emotional Health With Steve White


In today’s conversation, former CFL player Steve White joins the podcast to share the story of how his life unraveled — and how he rebuilt it from the ground up. After years of concussions, post-concussion syndrome, seizures, illness, and personal loss, Steve hit rock bottom. What followed wasn’t a recovery, but a full reconstruction: rebuilding his brain, body, and faith through disciplined systems rooted in breath, movement, environment, nutrition, nervous-system regulation, and purpose.

In this conversation, Steve explains how brain injuries reshape emotion and identity, why trust in yourself must be rebuilt deliberately, and how science and faith-based discipline can bring someone back from the edge.

If you want to understand what it takes to come back from neurological collapse and build a life that’s stronger than ever, this episode is for you.

This podcast dives into:

  • How concussions and PCS alter brain health and emotional regulation.

  • The hidden psychological toll of neurological injury.

  • Rebuilding self-trust after physical and personal collapse.

  • The mindset behind the Brae 100 method.

What can we learn about our mental health from rats? Since our brains are similar, the answer may surprise you. Listen up to discover: The difference between fear and anxiety The pathways to anxiety and fear What a panic attack actually signals Catherine Pittman, an author and Professor of Psychology at St. Mary's College, shares her career developing cognitive behavioral therapy techniques dealing with fear and anxiety. By looking at how our brain may be similar to a rat's, we can begin to understand our fear responses and the effects they have. However, since it still triggers the amygdala, it can be challenging to control your body's response to stimuli.
