On this episode of the Strong New York Podcast, host Kenny Santucci sits down with Steve White—founder of Brae 100, HomeTeams, and The Pacific Clinic—to share a story of resilience that redefines what recovery can look like.After years of football-related head trauma, Steve faced severe neurological decline, including seizures, cognitive loss, lupus, and APS. Told his condition would only worsen, everything changed when a mentor challenged him to “fight”—sparking a shift from passive treatment to radical personal responsibility.At 64, Steve began training for extreme physical goals while rebuilding his brain and body through unconventional methods: cold-water exposure, high-intensity exercise paired with cognitive “brain hits,” grounding, disciplined sleep, nutrition, and daily gratitude.In this conversation, he breaks down the mindset that fueled his recovery—belief, finishing what you start, and showing up for others—and how those principles connect directly to healing and neuroplasticity.Steve also shares how he rebuilt his life and mission, acquiring and expanding a major health facility and launching HomeTeams, an app designed to simplify caregiving—organizing support networks, reducing costs, tracking appointments, and delivering personalized care at home.This episode is a powerful reminder that limits aren’t always what they seem—and that transformation is possible at any stage of life.00:00 Bootstraps And Hope01:06 Podcast Intro Steve White01:50 First Knockout At 1703:08 Basketball To Football Pivot05:00 UNLV And Playing Both05:55 Symptoms And Decline07:23 Sprinkler Head Concussion08:55 Emotional Fallout And Lupus10:43 Belief Over Magic Pills14:20 Misogi And Four Rules17:10 Finish What You Start21:29 Caring And Neuroplasticity23:51 Cynicism Blocks Change25:43 All In At 21226:06 Wim Hof And Manifestation27:21 Cold Water Reset29:15 Brain Hits Training31:44 No Passive Fixes33:02 Grounding Gratitude Basics36:13 Movement Sleep Rhythm37:55 Clinic Mission Access39:34 Building Pacific Campus43:26 Health Is Team Sport47:00 Home Teams Platform50:13 AI Companion Care52:19 Where To Find Steve
