What remarkable journeys have people faced head-on against addiction? This episode of The Sports Doctor Radio Show brings together sport, health care, mental wellbeing and environmental responsibility in a fast-paced chat that touches many parts of modern life. Dr Bob Weil talks first with healthcare entrepreneur and US Army combat veteran Jon Berryhill, who describes moving from infantry and law enforcement into medical sales and then founding multiple health-related businesses.
His work centres on non-opioid medical devices – including orthopaedic bracing, infrared and magnetic therapies – offering alternatives to painkillers for injured athletes and patients. You’ll hear how his own injuries, college football experience and family life shaped his approach, and why he sees "warrior to wealth" as more than a catchy book title.
Jon stresses the mental side of success, saying his long marriage and strong home life "just bleeds out into my businesses," and supports conversations around addiction, stress and the need for balanced living. The second half shifts to energy and the environment with Michael Fallquist from Think + Energy. Drawing on two decades in the industry, he calls the current situation "chaos" as data centres, AI and extreme weather push the grid to its limits.
Michael explains how community solar projects and home battery systems can cut bills, support cleaner power and keep the lights on during outages. He also talks about using relationship-based direct selling to spread these ideas, emphasising that he sees it as educating friends and families rather than hard selling. Threaded through the episode are Dr Weil’s simple "new medicine" pillars: eat smarter, keep moving and reduce stress, all within a cleaner, more sustainable environment.
If you’re interested in non-opioid pain solutions, the mental side of performance or how everyday choices about energy connect back to health, this one might spark a few ideas. How could these approaches fit into your own recovery and wellbeing journey?
