Can AI revolutionize behavioral health without replacing therapists?  Dr. Bradley Block and Dr. Tristan Gorrindo dives into the transformative potential of AI in mental health care. Drawing from his extensive experience, Dr. Gorrindo discusses how AI can assist with subclinical issues through coaching-like support, streamline administrative tasks like intake and note-taking, and enhance patient-clinician connections by freeing up time for meaningful interactions. While addressing fears of AI replacing physicians, he emphasizes the irreplaceable role of human therapists for severe mental illnesses, citing the importance of nonverbal cues and mirror neurons. Tune in for insights on AI's current applications, future potential, and how to stay informed via resources like LinkedIn.Three Actionable Takeaway:AI for Subclinical Support and Efficiency – AI tools, like chatbots, can provide coaching-style support for patients with mild issues (e.g., grief, stress) and handle administrative tasks (e.g., intake, note-taking), freeing clinicians to focus on severe cases like depression or psychosis. Dr. Gorrindo highlights that 50% of primary care visits involve behavioral health components, making AI a valuable tool for triaging and support.Preserving Human Connection – While AI can mimic empathy or mirror expressions, it struggles to replicate the neurobiological resonance (e.g., mirror neurons) critical for therapy in severe mental illnesses. Dr. Gorrindo notes that AI can enhance trust-building by offloading routine tasks, allowing clinicians to engage deeply with patients' stories, as seen in examples like vestibular neuritis consultations.Practical AI Integration – Tools like AI scribes and intake avatars (e.g., language-adaptive systems in Pennsylvania health systems) can be customized via prompt engineering to align with a clinician's style, similar to training a medical student. Dr. Gorrindo stresses using HIPAA-compliant platforms (e.g., Google Gemini with a BAA) and staying updated via professional networks like LinkedIn.About the Show:Succeed In Medicine  covers patient interactions, burnout, career growth, personal finance, and more.

The power of empathy for organizational success is not just proven in all the data. Neuroscience backs up our human need to connect and form relationships. But why does empathic communication lead to better business results, improved wellness, decreased burnout, and better workforce retention? We explore that today with Dr. Helen Riess. Persuaded by the belief that empathy can transform healthcare, Dr. Riess founded Empathetics to meet medicine's most pressing challenges. We talk about whether empathy can be taught or if it's an inborn trait, the evidence for how empathy improves measurable outcomes, and what shifts we need to make to more fully bring empathy into work. Dr. Riess shares how the brain works on empathy and how it looks different for different people of all abilities. Finally, we discuss the importance of getting people into the right seat to lead with empathy and why self-regulation skills are critical to leadership success.To access the episode transcript, please scroll down below.Listen and discover:Why empathy is a key survival trait of the human species.Effective shifts to bring more personal compassion, kindness, and empathy to the workplace.The best ways to start your day for effective, empathetic leadership.Advice for dealing with people at different stages and levels of empathy.Why practicing empathy at work spills over into other aspects of your life.

Michael Hein, MS, MD, MHCM, Associate Certified Coach (ACC), believes that when healthcare leaders don't fully understand complexity, it leads to burnout, turnover, and poor patient care—issues he considers preventable forms of human suffering.

For many, this means embracing new leadership mindsets. With over thirty years of experience in healthcare, Michael is Senior Vice President and an executive coach at MEDI Leadership, the top healthcare coaching firm in the US. Drawing from clinical and executive roles, he helps leaders make the mindset shifts needed for success in complexity.Previously, Michael was CEO of a nonmerger hospital network and Chief Medical Officer at Catholic Health Initiatives. He led transformations at the Veterans Health Administration and cofounded KPI Ninja, a healthcare data company.Michael holds degrees from the University of South Dakota, Harvard's T.H. Chan School of Public Health, and St. Cloud State University. He is a certified executive coach through the International Coaching Federation, trained at the Hudson Institute of Coaching. His experience bridges frontline care and strategic leadership, coaching leaders to drive sustainable change in complex organizations.His book, Shifting Toward Unorthodoxy: Ten Unconventional Mindsets that HelpHealthcare Leaders Succeed in a Complex World, encourages a shift from outdated leadership mindsets to adaptive ones.

Today, I'm speaking with Dr. Bobby Dubois. Dr. Bobby is a Harvard-educated physician, Board-Certified in Internal Medicine with over 25 years of experience. He's an author, entrepreneur, wellness doctor, and Ironman Triathlete. Most recently, he led a health policy research organization in Washington, D.C. (National Pharmaceutical Council) as its Chief Science Officer and Executive Vice President. Prior to that, he served as the Chief Medical Officer of Cerner Life Sciences and co-founded Proto Care Sciences. He's the host of the Live Long and Well podcast and has made it his mission to help others cut through the noise and live longer with more energy as they age. The simple fact is, most retirees and pre-retirees want more time, energy, and independence to enjoy the life they've worked so hard to build. However, the reality is that longevity without good health won't achieve the lifestyle that most retirees envisioned during their working years. In part 1 of this 2-part conversation, we delve into the life-extending benefits of aerobic exercise, the scientific advantages of consistent sleep, and the surprising role of relationships in promoting increased longevity. Dr. Bobby outlines his six pillars of health and explains how to apply them in retirement. And here's the good news: it's never too late to start. In its simplest form, his advice is strikingly similar to what you'd hear from a financial advisor: It's much better to start saving and exercising young, but it's never too late to start. If you want to live not only longer, but better, this episode provides a clear path and roadmap to get there. GET A FREE COPY OF DR.

If you or a healthcare professional you know is struggling, confidential help is available: Physician Support Line: Call 1-888-409-0141. This is a national, free, and confidential support line staffed by volunteer psychiatrists. 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline: Call or text 988 anytime for immediate support from a trained counselor. In the high-stakes world of medicine, the focus is relentlessly on patient care, often at the expense of the caregivers themselves. Physicians and healthcare workers face some of the highest rates of burnout, depression, and suicide of any profession, a crisis often shrouded in silence and stigma. In this powerful episode of Life-Changing Moments, host Dr. Dale Waxman speaks with Dr. Stephanie Simmons, Chief Medical Officer of the Lorna Breen Heroes' Foundation. Dr. Simmons shares her own deeply personal journey with mental health challenges during training and the difficult choice she made to avoid treatment for fear of professional repercussions. This experience fuels her vital work today. Their conversation explores the pervasive cultural barriers that prevent healthcare workers from seeking help, the dangerous myth of the "perfect, invulnerable" clinician, and the profound disconnect between the care we prescribe for our patients and the care we allow ourselves. But this isn't just a story of struggle; it's a roadmap for change. Dr. Simmons discusses concrete, actionable steps—from reforming invasive licensing questions to building peer support systems—that are creating a new culture of medicine where seeking help is seen as a sign of strength, not a career-ending weakness. This is an essential listen for anyone in healthcare who has ever felt the weight of the system, and a hopeful look at how we can finally start to heal the healers.

In this episode, Dr. Brendan McCarthy, NMD, explores the overlooked connection between self-silencing—the habit of suppressing your voice, needs, and emotions—and women's health. Drawing on years of patient care and research, he explains how chronic stress from silencing yourself impacts the body at a biochemical level, and what you can do about it. You'll learn: ✔️ How self-silencing triggers stress pathways that worsen inflammation and disease ✔️ Why heart rate variability is a powerful tool for tracking stress ✔️ Simple, science-backed therapies—from cold plunging to nutrition to breathing techniques ✔️ How physicians can address both the cause and the symptoms of stress-related illness ✔️ What treatments may help stabilize autoimmunity, cardiovascular risk, and fertility issues This episode wraps up Dr. McCarthy's series on self-silencing and offers practical strategies to support healing while doing the deeper inner work.   Dr. Brendan McCarthy is the founder and Chief Medical Officer of Protea Medical Center in Arizona. With over two decades of experience, he's helped thousands of patients navigate hormonal imbalances using bioidentical HRT, nutrition, and root-cause medicine. He's also taught and mentored other physicians on integrative approaches to hormone therapy, weight loss, fertility, and more.

Dr. Stephen Steinberg, Co-founder and Chief Medical Officer of EndoSound, is tackling this problem head-on with an innovative approach to endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) technology. By dramatically lowering costs, EndoSound is helping more hospitals and surgical centers provide this life-saving diagnostic and therapeutic modality to millions of patients.Endoscopic ultrasound has been a medical mainstay for over 25 years, offering real-time imaging and diagnostic capabilities for conditions like pancreatic cancer. However, the prohibitive cost of traditional EUS systems—up to half a million dollars—has kept the technology out of reach for many facilities. Stephen and his team at EndoSound have developed a system that reduces these costs by 90%, making it accessible to smaller hospitals, surgical centers, and even under-resourced regions globally.“What became apparent was that my backlog of cases and waiting times were getting longer and longer,” Stephen explained, citing the lack of local access to EUS technology. “We adapt the scopes that [medical centers] already have with ultrasound technology, providing a much more cost-effective, much more accessible opportunity.”EndoSound's innovation doesn't just lower costs. By enabling earlier diagnoses of conditions like pancreatic cancer, which currently has a five-year survival rate of just 12%, the technology has the potential to save thousands of lives. Stephen described the transformative impact: “Our technology has the ability to impact that curve…to make it so that patients' tumors are caught earlier.”Beyond patient care, the technology offers financial benefits to facilities. Surgical centers that adopt EndoSound's system can generate revenue from procedures while improving patient outcomes. With millions of diagnostic procedures performed annually, the market opportunity for EndoSound's affordable solution is substantial.For those interested in supporting this groundbreaking work, EndoSound is currently raising capital through a regulated investment crowdfunding campaign on WeFunder. This presents a chance for investors to back a company that is not only disrupting the healthcare industry but also saving lives.Stephen's vision is clear: to democratize access to critical diagnostic tools and improve outcomes for patients worldwide. His work exemplifies the spirit of innovation and purpose that drives meaningful progress in healthcare.tl;dr:Dr. Stephen Steinberg discusses EndoSound's affordable endoscopic ultrasound technology that improves healthcare access and outcomes.By reducing costs by 90%, EndoSound enables earlier diagnoses, especially for conditions like pancreatic cancer.Stephen highlights the global potential of EndoSound to bring life-saving care to under-resourced regions.His superpower, courage and tenacity, stems from personal experiences navigating his children's life-threatening illnesses.EndoSound is raising capital via crowdfunding, empowering investors to support its transformative healthcare mission.How to Develop Courage and Tenacity As a SuperpowerStephen's superpower is a combination of courage and tenacity. He explains that courage isn't about choosing to be heroic but rather about responding to terrifying circumstances. Recalling his experience as a young parent facing life-threatening heart defects in his children, Stephen shared, “You discover courage not because you choose to but because circumstances require you to push through.” From these challenges, he also developed tenacity—the determination to persist even when exhausted or overwhelmed. These qualities have shaped his approach to both medicine and entrepreneurship.One story that demonstrates Stephen's superpower is his family's journey with his two children, both born with life-threatening heart defects. Despite the overwhelming fear and challenges, he and his wife relied on their courage and tenacity to support their children through cutting-edge medical care. Both children are now thriving adults, with families of their own. Stephen's personal experiences instilled in him a deep commitment to improving access to life-saving technologies like EndoSound.Stephen's advice for developing courage and tenacity includes:Define Your Mission: Identify a purpose that inspires you to push through obstacles.Stay Focused on the Goal: Visualize your desired outcome to maintain determination.Draw Strength from Others: Lean on your support network during difficult times.Take It Step by Step: Break overwhelming challenges into smaller, manageable tasks.By following Stephen's example and advice, you can make courage and tenacity a skill. With practice and effort, you could make it a superpower that enables you to do more good in the world.Remember, however, that research into success suggests that building on your own superpowers is more important than creating new ones or overcoming weaknesses. You do you!Guest ProfileDr. Stephen Steinberg (he/him):Co-founder and Chief Medical Officer, EndoSound, IncAbout EndoSound: EndoSound® has developed a breakthrough approach to delivering high-quality gastrointestinal diagnostics—without the prohibitive cost that has kept this technology out of reach for most patients. The EndoSound Vision System™ (EVS™) merges video-guided endoscopy and ultrasound into a single, real-time diagnostic view, enabling more accurate, minimally invasive exams that can be performed in outpatient and ambulatory settings.Its portable, compact design makes it equally at home in hospitals, Ambulatory Surgery Centers (ASCs), and rural or resource-limited care environments—dramatically expanding where advanced GI imaging can be performed. The EVS is FDA cleared and retrofits to the standard endoscopes already in use worldwide, eliminating the need for proprietary scopes. This integration creates an exceptionally affordable path for providers to offer cutting-edge diagnostics where they're needed most, including in under-resourced healthcare systems across the globe.Website: endosound.comX/Twitter Handle: @EndoSoundEVSOther URL: wefunder.com/endosoundBiographical Information: Dr. Steinberg is the co-inventor of a medical device with the potential to change the trajectory of GI care globally. A graduate of Cornell University and Johns Hopkins Medical School, Dr. Steinberg has devoted a 40-year career to advancing diagnostic and therapeutic gastrointestinal endoscopy.Among these procedures, endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) stands out as one of the most transformative—offering unparalleled insight into pancreatic, biliary, and submucosal disease. As co-inventor of the patented technologies behind EndoSound, he has married deep clinical expertise with engineering innovation to dismantle the access barriers that have kept EUS confined to a select few institutions. His vision extends far beyond U.S. borders—toward making this life-saving diagnostic accessible in regions where the absence of early detection leads to preventable deaths.Linkedin: linkedin.com/company/endosoundSupport Our SponsorsOur generous sponsors make our work possible, serving impact investors, social entrepreneurs, community builders and diverse founders.

Episode 107 of Trail Society kicks off with life updates from Keely and Hillary, before diving into listener-submitted news and research. They discuss a BBC story where undercover officers highlighted the prevalence of street harassment, with 94% of local women reporting experiences of catcalling. This transitions into a conversation around exercise during pregnancy, sparked by a listener question about heart rate guidelines.

The American Academy of Pediatrics released new vaccine recommendations that directly oppose guidance from the HHS – insisting on COVID-19 vaccinations in babies as young as 6 months. Pathologist Dr. Ryan Cole & Dr. Kelly Victory reveal how the AAP has been captured by Big Pharma interests. The organization's top donors, listed on their own website, are Merck, Moderna, Pfizer, and Sanofi: the 4 pharma companies that “make virtually every vaccine on the CDC recommended childhood vaccine schedule.” HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. issued a stern warning in response: “AAP should also be candid with doctors and hospitals that recommendations that diverge from the CDC's official list are not shielded from liability under the 1986 Vaccine Injury Act.” Dr. Ryan Cole is a board-certified pathologist trained at Mayo Clinic with subspecialty in dermatopathology from Columbia University. He holds a PhD in virology and immunology and directed a medical laboratory in Idaho for 20 years. He testifies globally on Covid policy and medical freedom.

What really happens in your brain during an ayahuasca ceremony? I'm talking with Dr. Jeff McNairy, Chief Medical Officer and co-founder of Rhythmia Life Advancement Center in Costa Rica, about the science, the spiritual side, and how plant medicine can support deep healing, if it's right for you. Psychedelic therapy isn't for everyone, and I get that. But when the soulful, spiritual side of healing meets actual neuroscience, I'm all in. At the end of the day, it's about your health, your healing, and knowing all of the options available to you. Plant medicine is something I've been exploring, and it's been profoundly helpful in my own growth. That's why I'm bringing you this conversation with Dr. Jeff. We get into how trauma gets stored in the body, what's really going on in your brain during ayahuasca, and why it's not a cure-all (and not for everyone).  What you'll hear about in this episode: How untreated trauma gets stored in the amygdala and shows up as anxiety and why our “push through it” culture makes it worse (7:38) Dr. Jeff's path from running rehab and psychiatric programs in LA to working with plant medicine in Costa Rica (16:19) Why ayahuasca isn't for everyone, what to consider before trying it, and how to know if you feel “called” (22:14) The neurochemistry of ayahuasca: what DMT does in your brain and how it can help release trauma (27:31) Common results Dr. Jeff sees at Rhythmia: from reduced anxiety and depression to long-term emotional shifts (49:26) My own “double reaction” during ceremony and Dr. Jeff's take on what was happening physically and spiritually (56:56) Resources from this episode:✨Interested in a future Rythmia Ayahuasca retreat with me?
