#1: Trailer

Brains get tested last—and feel it first. We kick off Unshakable Brain by tackling a blind spot most people don’t know exists: standard bloodwork can tell you about your heart, hormones, and liver, but it can’t tell you how your brain is performing or what your nervous system is going through day to day. After reading thousands of labs, Dr. Kylie Burton shares the missing piece—a simple cheek-swab Brain DNA test that helps explain why some people struggle with focus, stress recovery, or cognitive fatigue, and what to do next.

We walk through the real-world moments that make this urgent: kids in contact sports headed into seasons of headers and tackles, and adults living inside their phones with constant alerts shaping mood, attention, and sleep. Rather than fear the noise, we build a plan to measure what matters and turn data into action. You’ll hear how to rethink familiar markers like vitamin D through a brain-first lens, connect lab insights to daily routines, and set up habits that protect mental clarity across busy weeks and big goals. The aim is practical resilience—more focus, steadier mood, faster recovery from stress—without fads or guesswork.

To make the work doable, we’ll release two episodes weekly: a 25–30 minute deep dive into the science, stories, and strategies that strengthen cognition, and a short “brain bite” with one clear step you can use today. If you want a companion guide, grab the Unshakable Brain book on Amazon for step-by-step ways to read your labs like your brain depends on them. Ready to build a stronger, sharper, unshakable mind?

Episode Transcript

SPEAKER_00 (00:02):
Welcome to Unshakable Brain, your guide to
an unshakable brain.
I'm your host, Dr.
Kylie Burton, and my mission issimple to help you grow a brain
that's stronger, sharper, andunshakable in every part of your
life.
Each week we will explore thescience, stories, and strategies
to make that happen.

(00:22):
This episode is brought to youby Dr.
Rewire's Brain DNA test.
Find out more atunshakablebrain.ai.
Let's dive in.
I'd like to officially welcomeyou aboard to the Unshakable
Brain Podcast.
I am your host, Dr.
Kylie, a chiropractor by degree,turned functional medicine

(00:44):
expert, turned lab expert,turned brain expert.
Unshakable brain, that is.
There are two reasons why Iwanted to start this podcast and
why I've been working up towardsit the last several months.
The first reason is because I'vebeen a lab expert for several
years now.
I've seen thousands of labs.

(01:04):
I've helped thousands ofpractitioners incorporate this
tool into their toolbox.
But there's always been onepiece missing.
Inside your regular blood work,you have markers that can help
determine your cardiovascularhealth, your hormones, your GI
tract, your kidney, your livers,liver, you only have one liver,

(01:31):
your kidneys, your liver, andmultiple other organs.
But there is not a marker thatcan help determine the function
and the performance level ofyour brain.
There is not a marker to helpdetermine your nervous system
state.

(01:52):
I finally have found the missingpiece, and that is Dr.
Rewire's brain DNA test.
This lab test is a simple cheekswab that you can order and have
shipped to your house, and youcan get answers that your
regular butt work cannot provideto you.
That's the first reason is Ineeded to find the missing piece

(02:16):
and I found it.
The second reason is I'm a momof two, three kids: a
two-year-old, a five-year-old,and an eight-year-old.
And as I drive around town herein Utah, I see these little kids
playing soccer, playingfootball, playing sports where
they have contact and they'rehitting each other, they're

(02:37):
tackling each other, they'reheadbutting the balls at an
early age.
And I just can't help butwonder, are we doing enough to
protect these little brains?
And then I see young adults, Isee adults of all ages on their
phones, distracted by socialmedia, bombarded by other

(02:59):
people's opinions, attacking ourbrains.
We have to deal with this in2025 and beyond on the daily,
multiple times a day.
So I'm here to help you createan unshakable brain.
No matter how old you are, let'smake sure your brain's best

(03:22):
years are ahead of you.
As I currently have said, eachweek we will explore the
science, stories, and strategiesto make that happen.
You're going to experience twodifferent episodes each week.
First one is a more lengthier,in-depth version, probably
around 25 to 30 minutes long.

(03:43):
The second episode each weekwill be called a brain bite.
That brain bite is between fiveand 10 minutes long, closer to
five minutes, a simple shortstrategy, story, or something
else I'd love to simply sharewith you.
Those are coming each week.
So you'll get a regular episodeand a brain bite episode, all to

(04:03):
help you create an unshakablebrain.
And to get started, go grab yourlab test at unshakablebrain.com.
Sorry, unshakablebrain.ai.
Don't go to dot com and wouldn'tlet me purchase that one.
So unshakablebrain.ai is whereyou'll find out about that brain

(04:23):
DNA test and where you can orderyours.
I also have a book that ispaired with this podcast.
The book is called UnshakableBrain.
You can grab it on Amazon.
It will tell you how to readyour brain, how to read your
labs like your brain dependsupon it, because it does.

(04:44):
This is a twist on the lab workI know and love geared towards
helping you become and have anunshakable brain.
Turn your labs into your brainsuperpowers.
For example, vitamin D has beencorrelated to immune health.

(05:04):
But did you know that it's justas powerful as a brain protector
as it is to your immune system?
Simple tools like that andstrategies found inside your
regular blood work.
Get answers at unshakablebrainbook on Amazon.
All right, I'm Dr.
Kylie.
I'm out, but I will see you onthe next episode.
