    Episode 03: The Science of Well-being
    Feb 13 2026
    Discover why life’s toughest challenges are actually your greatest teachers and how resistance reveals who you truly are. In this episode of Common-Sense Wellness, Dr. Martin dives into how life is designed to teach us who we are not, using resistance and stress as tools for growth. He explains how early experiences shape stress patterns in the body, creating unconscious habits and conflicts between the mind’s desires and the body’s conditioning. Listeners learn how unresolved traumas replay through everyday triggers and how awareness of these patterns can transform challenges into opportunities for insight, healing, and authentic living. Key Takeaways: We are here to learn through contrast, experiencing what it feels like to be who we are not, and resistance is the mechanism that creates growth and understanding. Life brings specific people, places, circumstances, and events that resist our authentic nature, creating stress patterns that shape behavior and identity. The body can become conditioned to stress hormones, leading to unconscious addiction to familiar emotional states formed early in life. There is an ongoing conflict between the mind’s desire to live in alignment with the soul and the body’s addiction to opposing stress-based patterns. Unresolved experiences repeat across life through new situations and triggers until they are consciously understood and integrated.

    Episode 02: It’s Not Willpower — It’s Pattern
    Feb 4 2026
    It’s not willpower that holds you back—it’s the hidden patterns running your life. In this episode of Common-Sense Wellness, Dr. Gary Martin explores why lasting change isn’t about willpower—it’s about understanding the patterns that shape our lives. Drawing on decades of research with the BIA and insights from pioneers like Joseph Scognia Jr., he explains how our soul patterns, stress patterns, and invisible belief systems influence behavior, health, and personal growth. Listeners will discover why we hit plateaus, how resistance drives learning, and why recognizing your personal patterns is the key to unlocking the life you’re meant to live. Key Takeaways: • Change isn’t about trying harder—it’s about recognizing the patterns that shape your life. • Your body is your mind made visible, revealing how early experiences and beliefs influence behavior. • Soul patterns and stress patterns interact to create both challenges and opportunities for growth. • Invisible belief systems at the cellular level can hold you back, even when you think you’re doing everything right. • Resistance isn’t a roadblock—it’s the force that produces wisdom, learning, and life itself. • Understanding your personal “membrane chart” helps you see the recurring patterns that guide your choices.
