Leading the Future of Energy Healing and Holistic Wellness
When emotional pain goes unhealed, stress
becomes a constant companion, and spiritual
disconnection is left unchecked, the result can
be anxiety, burnout, sleeplessness, and a deep
sense of imbalance. Without access to holistic
tools that address more than just the mind, many
continue to struggle, finding that conventional
methods alone aren't enough. This is where
mental health leaders are stepping in to make a
real difference. They recognize that true healing
involves the whole person—mind, body, and
spirit—and are creating safe, supportive spaces
that go beyond symptom management. Through
energy work, frequency-based therapies, and
intuitive guidance, they help individuals release
what no longer serves them, reconnect with their
inner selves, and move toward lasting clarity
and peace, offering a more complete and
compassionate approach to mental wellness.
One such leader is Thomas A. Lewan, Owner
of Balanced Energy Healing, who plays a
central role in shaping the vision, growth, and
direction of the company. Guided by a lifelong
calling from Spirit, he founded the practice to
offer support that reaches beyond physical
symptoms, focusing instead on emotional
release, spiritual alignment, and energetic
balance. At the core of his role is the ability to
connect deeply with each client, offering
personalized sessions that draw on intuitive
guidance and years of advanced training in
disciplines like Reiki, chakra balancing, and
spiritual healing. Thomas approach is
compassionate and highly innovative, as seen in
his creation of the Frequency Healing
Chamber.
As the practice has grown, so has Thomas's
impact. Milestones like launching a holistic
wellness center, introducing therapies that
blend ancient wisdom with modern techniques,
and publishing a book to make energy healing
accessible reflect his deep commitment. He
continues to expand Balanced Energy Healing
to meet rising demand for whole-person care.

10. Journey to a Life of Healing
Thomas has always felt a profound spiritual calling to help
others—a deep inner guidance that shaped his life's path.
Founding Balanced Energy Healing wasn't just a
professional decision; it was an act of alignment with a
higher purpose. From the beginning, he recognized that real
healing addresses the body, emotional, spiritual, and
energetic layers of a person.
His journey into this realm began with Reiki, a gentle yet
powerful energy healing technique that awakened his
awareness of the body's innate ability to heal through
energetic balance. As his curiosity expanded, he immersed
himself in a variety of healing traditions, learning from
local and internationally respected teachers. Each modality
added depth to his approach and strengthened his
commitment to personalized, soul-centered healing.
Thomas believes that healing truly begins when individuals
reconnect with the energy of who they are. He gently
supports clients in rediscovering that inner essence—what
some call Spirit, Source, or the divine. As this energetic
connection is restored, mental and physical well-being often
naturally begin to improve.
Meeting the Demand for Holistic Mental Wellness
As more individuals seek meaningful alternatives to
conventional mental health care, Balanced Energy Healing
continues to meet this rising demand with compassion and
innovation. The practice is deeply committed to offering
integrative support that nurtures emotional and spiritual
well-being.
Spirit-Guided Approach
Thomas's healing practice stands out for its
deeply intuitive nature and strong connection to
Spirit. Rather than following a standard
formula, he tailors each session to the unique
energy and needs of the individual. He believes
that those who are meant to work with him
will naturally be drawn to his energy and
approach.
A signature element of his work is the
Frequency Healing Chamber, a one-of-a-kind
therapeutic space he developed through
spiritual guidance and years of hands-on
experience. This chamber blends sound therapy,
light frequencies, and sacred geometry into a
powerful multidimensional healing experience.
It combines multiple modalities to support deep
energetic transformation and inner alignment.
The Frequency Healing Chamber is a
cornerstone of Thomas's practice and reflects
his commitment to offering truly innovative and
soul-centered healing.
Safe Spaces for Emotional Expression and
Support
The first step in Thomas approach is always
listening. He takes time to understand the type
of support a person needs and creates a safe
space for them to be heard. He believes strongly
in ethical responsibility and openly guides
individuals to seek licensed therapy when it's in
their best interest. While energy healing can be
a powerful tool, he views it as one part of a
broader support system.
Energy healing is not a replacement for
traditional therapy, but rather a supportive
addition to it. It offers an extra layer of care,
especially for individuals dealing with
emotional or psychological challenges. By
helping to release stored trauma from the body,
energy work can complement the progress
made in therapy. When combined, the two
approaches create a more holistic and well-
rounded path to healing.
Thomas's goal is to support people right where
they are and work together with any other care
they may already be getting.
Each of these elements is designed to create a healing
environment that is present, accessible, and
supportive—ensuring that every client is met exactly where
they are on their journey to wholeness.

11. Questions Are Welcomed and Healing Begins
Thomas is always open to answering questions and believes in
making energy healing easy to understand. That's one of the
reasons he wrote Through the Eyes of an Energy Healer—to
provide a clear and honest explanation of how energy work helps. In
his experience, once people understand how energy flows and how
it can be used for healing, their doubt often turns into curiosity. And
it's from that place of curiosity that true healing can begin.

18. the Answer?
OVEREATING
Scientists Found
What’s
Stopping You from
| 202518

19. the Answer?
How Do These Neurons Work?
Think of these neurons as highly intelligent food monitors.
Unlike other neurons that focus on just one aspect of
eating—like how food tastes or the sensation of fullness in your
stomach—these neurons integrate a variety of signals. They
assess:
What Did Scientists Discover About Eating
Behavior?
In a revolutionary study conducted by researchers at
Columbia University Irving Medical Center,
scientists have pinpointed a unique group of neurons
that play a critical role in signaling the brain to stop
eating. These neurons, nestled in the brainstem (one
of the most ancient parts of the vertebrate brain),
process multiple cues from the body to tell you when
it’s time to put down your fork.
Why is this significant? Obesity affects over 650
million people globally, and overeating is a leading
contributor. Understanding what tells us we’ve had
enough could be the key to combating this epidemic.
Have you ever wondered why sometimes you can devour an entire bag of chips without thinking, but
other times, a few bites of pizza are all it takes to make you stop? Let me take you on a journey through
your brain—yes, your brain—to uncover something extraordinary.
You see, deep in the folds of your mind lies a fascinating mechanism that acts like an internal food
traffic controller. It’s not willpower or some mysterious force but a specific set of neurons that whispers,
“Alright, that’s enough for now.”
These recently discovered neurons could change the way we understand overeating, appetite, and even
obesity. Are you intrigued? You should be, as this study offers a glimpse into the future of health and
nutrition management. So, grab a snack (but maybe just a small one), and let’s dive in.
When these signals reach a tipping point, the neurons fire off
messages to your brain saying, “Stop eating!” It’s like an
internal alarm system that ensures you don’t overindulge.
The sensory experience of eating (the taste
and smell of food).
The mechanical sensation of food filling
your stomach.
Nutritional signals from your body as food
is absorbed.
www.healthcare360magazine.com | 19

20. Why Is This Discovery So Groundbreaking?
Most appetite-related studies focus on “start-eating” neurons, which
encourage food consumption. But this study flips the script, showing us
the importance of “stop-eating” neurons. These neurons help regulate
meal size, ensuring you eat just enough for your body’s needs. For those
struggling with obesity or binge eating, targeting these neurons could
offer a new way to control appetite and manage weight.
What Happens When These Neurons Are Activated?
To confirm their role, scientists genetically modified these neurons to respond to light. By shining
a light on the neurons, they could precisely control their activity. Here’s what they observed:
ŸWhen activated, the mice ate smaller meals.
ŸThe level of activation influenced how quickly the mice stopped eating.
ŸInstead of abruptly halting eating, the neurons appeared to gradually reduce the mice’s pace,
signaling satiety in a controlled manner.
This nuanced approach to meal termination highlights the sophistication of these neurons. They
don’t just slam the brakes; they ease you to a stop.
How Did Scientists
Find These Neurons?
Using cutting-edge technology called spatially resolved
molecular profiling, researchers examined cells in a
specific area of the brainstem. This technique allowed
them to analyze cells in their natural environment and
identify their unique molecular characteristics. What
they found was remarkable: previously unrecognized
neurons with properties suggesting they’re key players in
appetite regulation.
| 202520

21. Do Humans Have These Neurons Too?
Here’s the exciting part: While this research
was conducted on mice, the
brainstem—where these neurons reside—is a
highly conserved region across vertebrates.
This means it’s very likely that humans have
similar neurons performing the same
function. Imagine the potential of leveraging
this discovery to help millions of people
struggling with weight management and
eating disorders.
How Do External Factors Influence These
Neurons?
The study also explored how hormones and other
brain circuits interact with these neurons. They
found that:
ŸA hormone linked to hunger could silence these
neurons, increasing food intake.
ŸGLP-1 agonists (drugs used to treat obesity and diabetes)
activated these neurons, amplifying their “stop-eating”
signals.
This interaction suggests that these neurons are not working in isolation.
Instead, they’re part of a larger network that processes both internal and external cues
to regulate eating behavior.
www.healthcare360magazine.com | 21

22. This discovery isn’t just a scientific breakthrough; it’s a potential
game-changer for obesity treatment. Here’s why:
What Are the
Real-World Implications?
Targeted Therapies:
By understanding how these neurons work, researchers
could develop drugs that activate them, helping people feel
full faster.
Personalized Medicine:
Treatments could be tailored to individuals based on how
their neurons respond to different stimuli.
New Weight-Loss
Strategies:
Beyond diets and exercise, this discovery offers a
biological approach to appetite control, reducing the stigma
often associated with weight loss.
Over the years, scientists have uncovered many factors that influence eating
behavior, from hormones like leptin and ghrelin to brain regions like the
hypothalamus. But this discovery fills a critical gap in our understanding by
pinpointing the exact neurons responsible for stopping food intake. It’s like finding
the missing piece of a complex puzzle.
How Does This Fit Into Broader
Appetite Research?
| 202522

23. What Are the Next Steps?
The journey doesn’t end here. Future research will likely focus on:
ŸMapping Neural Pathways: Understanding how these neurons
communicate with other parts of the brain.
ŸHuman Studies: Investigating whether similar neurons exist in humans
and how they function.
ŸDrug Development: Creating medications that can safely and effectively
target these neurons.
While direct applications are still a few years away, this discovery is already influencing how we think
about appetite control. For example:
Why Should You Care About This Discovery?
Let’s face it: overeating is something most of us have experienced.
Whether it’s indulging in an extra slice of cake or binge-watching with
snacks, we’ve all been there. But for some, it’s a daily struggle that
leads to serious health issues.
By unlocking the secrets of these neurons, scientists are giving us a
powerful tool to tackle overeating and obesity. This isn’t just about
shedding pounds; it’s about improving overall health and quality of life.
The Dawn of a New Era in Appetite Control
The discovery of “stop-eating” neurons marks a turning point in our understanding of eating behavior. By decoding the
intricate mechanisms that regulate appetite, scientists are paving the way for a healthier future.
So, the next time you feel full and push your plate away, remember, it’s not you—it’s your brain, working hard to keep you
balanced. And thanks to this research, we’re one step closer to harnessing that power for better health worldwide.
How Can This Knowledge Be Applied Today?
Dietary Advice
Understanding these neurons
could help nutritionists create
more effective meal plans.
Mental Health
Support
Many eating disorders involve
disruptions in the brain’s
appetite signals. Targeting
these neurons could offer new
therapeutic options.
Pharmaceutical
Innovations
Companies are already
exploring drugs that can mimic
or enhance these neurons’
activity.

The Future Of Genetic Medicine –
Are We Playing God?
In 2018, the world was stunned when Chinese scientist He Jiankui
announced he had genetically modified twin babies using CRISPR,
the revolutionary gene-editing tool. The global backlash was
swift—was this a breakthrough in eliminating genetic diseases or an
unethical manipulation of life itself? Are we truly on the brink of
playing God?
For decades, genetic disorders like cystic fibrosis, sickle cell
anemia, and Huntington’s disease have devastated families, with no
true cure in sight. But CRISPR (Clustered Regularly Interspaced
Short Palindromic Repeats) offers the tantalizing possibility of
permanently rewriting human DNA to eliminate these conditions
forever. But should we?
As we stand at the edge of this scientific frontier, the promise of
CRISPR is undeniable—but so are its ethical, medical, and
existential questions.
www.healthcare360magazine.com | 27

28. How Does It Work?CRISPR 101
Imagine a molecular scalpel that can cut and rewrite sections of DNA. CRISPR works by using a protein called Cas9, which
acts like a pair of molecular scissors to snip unwanted DNA sequences. Scientists can then edit or replace these genetic
instructions, potentially correcting mutations that cause disease

30. With great power comes great responsibility—should we redesign
human evolution? Critics argue:
•“Designer Babies” & Genetic Inequality – Will CRISPR be
used for cosmetic enhancements and intelligence boosts,
widening the gap between rich and poor?
•Unintended Consequences – CRISPR is not perfect—errors
could create new genetic diseases rather than cure them.
•Regulatory Gaps – Countries differ on genetic editing laws;
while China has been more experimental, the U.S. and EU have
stricter bans on embryo editing.
Religious and Philosophical Concerns:
Many bioethicists argue that modifying the human genome interferes
with nature or divine will (MDPI).
