Make Mental Health Matter with Kelli Melissa Reinhardt: Social Media as a Lifeline

Social Media as a Lifeline: Insights from Shawn Teasley
On this episode of the Make Mental Health Matter Show with host Kelli Melissa Reinhardt, with special guest Shawn Teasley.
Little bit about Shawn’s story from her: 
I work at the intersection of marketing and mental health awareness, and one area I’m especially passionate about is the fine line between social media and its impact on our well-being. Boundaries around how we use these platforms are critical, but social media is also one of the most powerful ways to get mental health resources into people’s hands. With September being Suicide Awareness Month, I’m especially mindful of how awareness days like Suicide Prevention Day can spark education, support, and meaningful conversations. I believe we can use these platforms not just for connection, but as lifelines to normalize mental health discussions and ensure more people know they’re not alone.

Make Mental Health Matter with Kelli Melissa Reinhardt: Brain Fitness Coach

The Brain Fitness Coach: Judy Hahn’s Science of Stress Recovery
On this episode of the Make Mental Health Matter Show with host Kelli Melissa Reinhardt, with special guest Judy Hahn.
Little bit about Judy’s story from her: 
My fascination with brain health and entrainment began over 37 years ago. Today, that passion is my primary focus. I now help individuals and practitioners support brain fitness, stress recovery, and nervous system regulation using non-invasive, science-based tools that spark real, measurable change. 
I work with two core technologies:
~ A brain fitness device that uses light and sound to gently guide the brain into optimal states for relaxation, focus, deep sleep, and emotional regulation. It supports neuroplasticity, cognitive performance, and long-term brain health.
~ NeuralChek, an HRV-based tool that measures the variation between heartbeats to assess the health of the body's regulatory systems. It provides real-time insight into stress load, recovery capacity, and overall adaptability — making it ideal for personalized wellness plans and tracking long-term progress.
Together, these tools offer a comprehensive approach to brain-body balance, stress management, and nervous system optimization. What excites me most is how seamlessly they complement the work of chiropractors, integrative doctors, and other holistic practitioners, but so many individuals use the in-home device for anxiety, PTSD, ADD/ADHD, autism, concussion recovery, poor sleep, cognitive decline, addiction, and more. It’s also widely used by peak performers seeking an edge in focus, clarity, and recovery.
Short bio:
Judy Hahn was trained as an Integrative Nutritional Health Coach and has spent 7 years as a Functional Wellness Coach, often addressing the gut-brain connection of her clients' conditions. She is known as The Brain Fitness Coach working with an innovative in-home brain health device that reduces stress & anxiety, and better sleep, mood & mental clarity. She is currently working with many medical professionals, chiropractors and mental health providers to be able to offer this device to a greater number of individuals and clinics.

Make Mental Health Matter with Kelli Melissa Reinhardt: Reforming Concussion Care

Chaandani Khan: Resilience, Recovery, and Reforming Concussion Care
On this episode of the Make Mental Health Matter Show with host Kelli Melissa Reinhardt, with special guest Chaandani Khan.
Little bit about Chaandani’s story from her: 
A concussion brain injury completely derailed my life 6 years ago. I went from being an outgoing person who worked, had a busy social life, volunteered, had hobbies and was physically active -- to a person who could no longer remember how to make a sandwich, nor follow basic conversations with ease. On a personal note, I know the strength it takes to find acceptance while still in the fire, and what it takes internally to rebuild your life with intention. On a professional note, going through this experience allowed me to identify key gaps in service and systems that patients face, and the demand for a new path forward. I am now an educator for medical and allied healthcare concussion practitioners and am focused on leading systemic change in the delivery of concussion care.
Short bio:
Six years ago a brain injury derailed Chaandani’s entire life, which left her navigating PPCS (persistent post-concussive symptoms) and an overwhelming amount of loss. Preparing a cup of tea, washing clothes and sending a single email became monumental challenges and her familiar, fast-paced lifestyle appeared impossibly far out of reach. Going through years of recovery appointments and eventually ingraining herself in the concussion space allowed her to identify key gaps in service and systems that patients face, and the demand for a new path forward.
Chaandani is now an educator for medical and allied healthcare practitioners who serve the concussion and PPCS population. She brings a wealth of knowledge gained through experience plus research, and is focused on leading systemic change in the delivery of concussion care.

On this episode of the Make Mental Health Matter Show with host Kelli Melissa Reinhardt, with special guest Beatty Carmichael.
Little bit about Beatty’s story from him: 
I help people find real and lasting freedom from mental health struggles—like depression, anxiety, bipolar, PTSD, and more—by uncovering and removing the spiritual roots behind those issues. Using a science-based prayer process that works across all belief systems, I’ve seen a documented 90% success rate, often bringing full transformation in less than 24 hours. On the show, we’ll talk about how most mental illnesses aren't chemical or emotional, but spiritual in origin—and what happens when you address it at the root.
Short bio:
Beatty Carmichael is a mental health breakthrough expert and the author of The Prayer of Freedom, a how-to guide that reveals the spiritual roots behind many mental and emotional struggles. With years of experience in spiritual healing, he’s helped nearly a thousand people find freedom from depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, PTSD, addiction, and more—often within 24 hours. His process is rooted in the science of spiritual laws, not religion, and has a documented 90% success rate. Beatty’s work bridges the gap between spiritual truths and psychology, offering a practical, step-by-step approach that works regardless of one’s beliefs. He’s been featured on over 70 TV, podcast and radio shows and is passionate about giving people real hope and proven solutions for healing.
