In this episode of Every Patient’s Right: Ending Isolation in Healthcare, host Steve Reiter welcomes Dr. Howard Cohn of the Cohn Health Institute to share insights on Neuro Emotional Technique (NET)—a groundbreaking method for healing emotional trauma, especially in the wake of medical isolation during the COVID-19 pandemic. Together, they dive into how NET uses muscle testing and principles from traditional Chinese medicine to uncover and resolve the deep-seated emotional roots of physical symptoms.
Dr. Cohn explains the science behind NET, shares powerful stories of transformation from his decades of practice, and discusses its rising acceptance among both alternative and mainstream practitioners. Whether you’ve experienced healthcare trauma yourself or work with those who have, this episode offers fresh hope and real-world strategies for restoring human connection and well-being.

About the Guest: Dr. Howard Cohn has always been fascinated by the miracles of the human body. The first time he encountered functional muscle testing—a technique he would later help revolutionize—he recalls being both amazed and skeptical. It was hard for him to envision that something so seemingly simple could yield such powerful results. But as he delved deeper, he understood the profound philosophy behind it: the body is “simply intricate and intricately simple.”
As the founder of all functional muscle testing, Dr. Cohn built his approach on the idea that, while we often complicate healing with conscious thought, the subconscious mind and body communicate in straightforward, reactionary ways. By harnessing this natural connection, Dr. Cohn’s techniques help people uncover and address the root causes of their physical and emotional issues. Driven by his belief that “your mind and your body are the same thing,” Dr. Cohn’s work continues to transform lives and expand the frontiers of holistic healing.
About The Host: Steve Reiter is the founder of the Never Alone Project and the host of its podcast, “Every Patient’s Right, Ending Isolation and Healthcare.” He lost his wife to forced isolation on May 19, 2020, and believes no one should die alone. The show delves into the significant issue of forced medical isolation that began in March 2020, examining its profound effects on patients and exploring ways to balance essential medical care with the nurturing human contact that aids healing and recovery.
