Beyond The O.R. With Dr. Brenner

Don’t miss a rare behind-the-scenes peek at the high-stakes operation that took out Osama bin Laden when Mark Owen, a bestselling author and highly decorated veteran Navy SEAL, visits Beyond the O.R. with Dr. Kevin Brenner. This action-packed hour – the second of two parts – features a minute-by-minute, eyewitness account of the perilous mission to breach Al Qaeda’s stronghold in Abbottabad, Pakistan, as well as reflections on the sacrifices associated with life in the special forces community. It’s a story that our guest, who uses a pseudonym, details with dramatic results in his gripping account, "No Easy Day: The Firsthand Account of the Mission That Killed Osama Bin Laden." Mark has also helped recreate the intimate domestic and operational lives of Navy SEAL team members onscreen in "SEAL Team," the hit CBS show he co-executive produces. Dr. B. and his co-host, Elizabeth Morales, get granular with Mark on everything from surviving BUD/S training and Hell Week (wet, sandy, exhausting) to intercepting the band of Somali pirates famously depicted in the Tom Hanks film “Captain Phillips.” You’ll find out why “just another day’s work” in this world of elite combat can mean anything from skydiving to underwater bomb detonation to arctic survival to the deployment of specially trained dolphins. In addition to his creative projects, our guest has dedicated himself to supporting fellow veterans in transition through organizations such as Special Operations Care Fund and Valor for Life. “You don’t join the SEALS to be kinda No. 1,” says Mark, who served 14 years. “You join to see if you can be the best. I had to see if I could do it.” Having been honored with 30 medals – including a Silver Star, Purple Heart, Bronze Star and Navy Presidential Unit Citation – he was clearly up to the challenge.

Fasten your seatbelt for an extraordinary interview long in the making when Dr. Kevin Brenner sits down with a Navy SEAL whose life experience is the stuff – quite literally – of high-profile drama. On this special two-part episode of Beyond the O.R., Mark Owen gives us a very personal look at the world of special forces he has chronicled in the New York Times bestselling book, "No Easy Day" as well as on "SEAL Team," the hit CBS show he co-executive produces. His remarkable 13 deployments – top secret, extraordinarily dangerous missions – were bookended by his entry into the Navy right after 9/11 and retirement from active duty following the capture of Osama Bin Laden. This very private, highly decorated former member of SEAL Team 6 offers an honest take on the controversy surrounding the publication of his book and the satisfaction he takes in supporting the big emotional transition fellow veterans face when returning to civilian life. Mark (who uses a pseudonym) has lived the life he first dreamed of as a kid in rural Alaska – and then some! Stay tuned for Part II, which will take us even deeper into the stories behind the unparalleled history Mark and his fellow SEAL teammates have lived in the line of duty. “Every SEAL knows they’re going to go into combat and deal with SEAL stuff. That’s easy, the expected, the known,” says our guest in this rare, very intimate interview. “What’s harder is the unknown: dealing with family and your kids … who unfortunately are not the priority while you’re trying to stay alive.” Learn more about all Mark Owen’s writing, including his #1 New York Times Bestseller, “No Easy Day: The Autobiography of a Navy Seal: The Firsthand Account of the Mission That Killed Osama Bin Laden,” at this link.

Without the high-octane grit she cultivated as a professionally sponsored ski jumper starting at age 15, our guest on this episode of Beyond the O.R. could never have navigated the onslaught of illnesses that laid her low by the time she was 25. Athena Brownson shares with Co-hosts Dr. Kevin Brenner and Elizabeth Morales her journey from hair-raising half pipes on the slopes to the top of her game as a high-profile Denver-based realtor with Compass. “I always say skiing was the best business school I ever could have gone to,” say Athena. “Real estate and the competitive nature of it (mirrors) being an athlete and the basic principles of discipline and accountability.” The same can be said of battling back from the complex web of afflictions – Breast Implant Illness and Lyme Disease among them – that ultimately turned this dynamic young woman into a powerhouse realtor, protecting her homebuyers’ best interests while ensuring their dream homes are also healthy homes. Athena shares with us the toxins she watches out for as well as some of the strategies she has deployed in coming back from an array of autoimmune and related symptoms that would have sidelined Athena entirely were it not for her pro athlete’s determination to seek education and healing. Learn about what it means when “the body keeps the score” and how the work of advocates like our guest and co-hosts is improving women’s health, quality of life and environmental wellbeing.

Dr. Kevin Brenner takes us deeper into understanding chronic illness with his guest on this episode of Beyond the O.R. We meet Daisy White, a Certified Natural Health Specialist who is challenging all of us to get educated to the root causes of disease. She also shares the very personal health journey that has inspired her dedication to helping others manage the multi-factorial nature of infections like Lyme Disease and chronic impacts of conditions like Long Covid and Breast Implant Illness. With her skill set and compassion, Daisy’s practice is devoted to promoting health and resiliency through tools she first had to develop in order to secure wellness for herself. We learn from Daisy what it takes to reclaim health – a process often guided both by alternative practices and the holistic approach required for transforming family systems. Find out how this wise and intuitive defender of those fighting chronic illness views the many variables that impact long-term individual wellness and our overall health as a society – including afflictions that often go undiagnosed or are dismissed altogether. Much of the problem, says Daisy, is a constellation of symptoms that can be hard to correlate to a specific, consistent source of inflammation. As an example, she explains, “A lot of people have breast implants that are making them sick and they really don’t know why they don’t feel good.” It’s certainly a story with which both Dr. B. and co-host Elizabeth Morales are familiar! If you’ve struggled to pinpoint an accurate diagnosis or locate the right treatment for chronic illness (such as surgical breast implant ex-plantation), this conversation with Daisy will speak directly to you and your options. If you’d like to learn more about how to restore health and well-being to your family, please visit Daisy's website or reach out to her directly here. Want to reach out to Dr. B?

Learn about how this multi-faceted woman has somehow managed to stay grounded while juggling two sons and finding ways to give back through charities such as St. Jude Children's Research Hospital.

What do you do when the cards are stacked against you and you’re sent away to prison – never to be seen or heard from again? You hope you have a fraction of the tenacity demonstrated by our guest on this episode of Beyond the O.R. We’re getting to know Francisco “Franky” Carrillo, who somehow came back from a wrongful conviction as a teen-ager to gain his freedom from prison after 20 years. Instead of coming out of a grave miscarriage of justice in bitterness, he has relentlessly channeled his experience for the public good. Franky shares with Cohosts Dr. Kevin Brenner and Elizabeth Morales the story of how hope and resiliency ultimately freed him from prison, launching a new trajectory towards the inspiring work at the center of his life today. The father of three children, Franky is the first in his family to acquire a college degree (while incarcerated) and the featured subject at the heart of "The Innocence Files," a powerful Netflix documentary you don’t want to miss. Learn about the amazing passion projects to which Franky has been devoted (including a run for state assembly) and what lies ahead for a man whose life defines the word “survivor.” Says our guest: “I just want to use what I went through and put it to good use.” Without a doubt, that’s exactly what Franky is doing, day after day.

What would you do if you were visiting a foreign country and suddenly found yourself in the midst of a catastrophic natural event, government coup or armed uprising? Our host Dr. Kevin Brenner can tell you exactly what to do – because he recently found himself in exactly that situation, stranded in Morocco following a devastating 6.8 earthquake. He was fortunate enough to have a connection that got him directly to Mike Coleman, SVP for Strategic Partnerships at the international security company Global Guardian and our guest on this episode of Beyond the OR. If you’ve never considered prepping yourself before travel and don’t have a go-to resource, here’s why you might regret it should you hit a bump – big or small. “When you’re in the middle of a crisis you need … something that gives you comfort,” observes co-host Elizabeth Morales. “It’s not just the physicality of everything (Global Guardian) does.

On this very special episode of Beyond the O.R., Kevin and Shannon Stacy pull back the curtain on the personal struggles that members of the Special Operations warfare community and their families face, often in isolation. Dr. Kevin Brenner invites the couple to share the important work being done by The Station Foundation, the nonprofit support organization they founded to serve returning veterans through creative, healing, hands-on programs. Shannon, whose debilitating BII (Breast Implant Illness) Dr. B treated with amazing results (through his work with Valor for Life), gives us a very vulnerable look at the impacts on children whose fathers are constantly on missions and the ways in which we can offer support to the stoic women holding the home front together while their husbands are away. You will learn about the remarkable world of Special Operations and the community of people helping returning warriors to navigate the rough terrain. Reintegrating into civilian life has challenged generations of veterans, many of whom struggle in the shadows with minimal support from the VA system or a patchwork of Band-Aid remedies. The Montana-based Station Foundation offers a completely different model for this transition, including a 10-day family bonding experience as a starting point to reset and rebuild. It’s a unique peer-based network that brings understanding, compassion and a solutions-based approach. The central goal: Bringing military families back into balance, reconnecting them with their wider communities and everyday life. “We do a really good job of going to war. Our country’s great at it,” says Kevin, a graduate of the U.S. Military Academy and helicopter pilot who served with the 160th Special Operations Aviation Regiment. “But we do a really bad job of coming home.” Through the work they are doing at The Station Foundation, the Stacys are part of a powerful web of nonprofits working tirelessly to turn that tide and foster conversations like this one with Dr. B and Co-host Elizabeth Morales – raising national awareness that is long overdue!

Sean Berman is Director of Operations and Scientific Research at Cell Surgical Network in Beverly Hills, California. He earned his Master’s in Cell/Cellular and Molecular Biology at Louisiana Tech University and his undergraduate degree at Amherst College. A former college football player, he has advanced research in the use of stem cells in the treatment of traumatic brain injury. The future is now on this episode of Beyond the O.R., which features Dr. Kevin Brenner in conversation with a young scientist on the cutting edge of stem cell therapy. You’ll meet Sean Berman, Director of Operations and Research at Cell Surgical Network, whose passion for this area of practice was inspired by the combination of his father – a longtime plastic surgeon in Beverly Hills – and his experience as a college football player troubled by the limited treatments available for concussion. He is explaining how stem cells can be deployed as powerful regenerative agents capable of finding and targeting trouble spots throughout our bodies. A burgeoning area of medical innovation, clinical results are promising when it comes to healing anything from worn out joints to inflammatory disease to traumatic brain injuries. But stem cell treatments are not without controversy, which is why Sean and his team at Cell Surgical Network recently went to court to defend their work against FDA interference – a battle they won on the way to establishing the use case and scientific facts behind the work they are doing. If you’d like to know more about the work of Sean Berman, he is among scientists and physicians from around the world featured at the International Cell Surgical Society Conference at this link.
