This weekend's 1 in 31 guest is Dr. Alex Kolevzon. Dr. Kolevzon is the Clinical Director of the Seaver Autism Center at Mount Sinai Health System. He joins us today to talk about the CDC's latest estimate that 1 in 31 children in the United States are identified as having autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Dr. Kolevzon suggests a number of possible reasons why this statistic has been on the rise. He also discusses various research challenges and approaches for studying individuals on the autism spectrum. Dr. Kolevzon suggests the prevalence rate may stabilize around 1 in 100 individuals, rather than the current 1 in 31 figure, suggesting some correction in diagnostic practices may occur in the future.

Michal Pollack joined me to discuss how she uses her training in Behavior Analysis to help her with her personal health and fitness goals. Michal is a Clinical Director at Apollo Behavior. In this episode, we talk about: How she got her start in Applied Behavior Analysis. How she found her way to Apollo, and what she enjoys about working there. How she realized that getting fit doesn't require playing team sports, or being an athlete more generally. How spending time abroad during a gap year motivated her to adopt a healthier lifestyle. How going to the gym regularly helped her improve her emotional wellbeing. How she developed grocery shopping habits that helped her eat healthier meals. How she doesn't weigh herself frequently, and the rationale for this practice. We both talk about the pros and cons of wearable devices, and how I use The Whoop Strap (note, this is an affiliate). I want to make clear that during this podcast, it's important to note that neither of us are health or fitness professionals. We're not attempting to provide specific advice for listeners that's outside of our scopes of expertise. Instead, a better framing of this episode is to consider this a conversation between two BCBAs talking about how they apply behavior-analytic principles in their own lives. As such, if you're looking to make changes to your fitness, please consider working with a credentialed professional, with the input of your primary care provider. You can follow Michal on TikTok or LinkedIn here and here. If you'd like to learn more about working at Apollo, you can read about them here. Articles and resources mentioned: Camp and Hayes (2012).

In this episode, I speak with Matt about his evolution as a therapist, researcher, and founder of New Harbinger Publications. Originally trained in Gestalt therapy, Matt transitioned to Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) after discovering its effectiveness in addressing his own anxiety—and its ability to offer more structured tools for change. From there, his work expanded into third-wave CBTs like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), especially as he sought to support clients experiencing complex emotional challenges, trauma, and persistent distress that weren't always responsive to traditional CBT protocols. We discuss the development of a transdiagnostic and precision-based approach to therapy, centered on identifying specific mechanisms such as emotional and cognitive avoidance. Matt explains how treatment can be tailored using interventions like emotion exposure, mindfulness, and cognitive diffusion to address each client's unique coping profile—an approach supported by his work on the Comprehensive Coping Inventory. Matt also talks about the founding and mission of New Harbinger Publications, which pioneered the self-help workbook format grounded in evidence-based therapies. He shares insight into their newest tool, Therapy Assist, a digital resource for therapists to assign skills-based, diagnostic-specific homework. We delve into his clinic's current research on trauma treatment, including the effectiveness of combining ACT with EMDR and written exposure therapy. We also explore how trauma manifests physiologically and emotionally, and why traditional approaches often fall short when addressing complex PTSD, dissociation, or early attachment trauma. Matt reflects on integrating coping skills into ACT—an often debated topic—and describes his efforts to bridge therapeutic models like Schema Therapy and ACT. We explore how these integrations can support trauma clients in choosing value-based responses over automatic, schema-driven reactions. Throughout the conversation, we reflect on the growing movement toward precision therapy—individualized, mechanism-targeted, and empirically grounded. Dr. McKay's work continues to shape how therapists understand suffering and resilience, and how they can empower clients with the tools to navigate both. Dr. Matthew McKay is a clinical psychologist, professor at the Wright Institute, founder of New Harbinger Publications, and author of research and over 40 books on CBT, ACT, trauma, and emotional healing, including Mind and Emotions, The Relaxation and Stress Reduction Workbook, and Emotion Efficacy Therapy. He cofounded the Haight Ashbury Psychological Services agency in 1979 and served as its Clinical Director for 25 years and is currently the co-director of the Bay Area Trauma Recovery Clinical Services (BATRCS). Matt's interests extend to writing poetry, fiction, and music, and he has a published novel and two books of poetry.

He is the author of Life and Death: Our Relationship with Ageing, Dementia, and Other Fates of Time.

Dr. Balfour shares valuable insights on navigating the challenges of aging, loneliness, and regret, providing practical ways to foster resilience and connection.  I hope this conversation resonates with you and offers a meaningful opportunity to consider these important themes.About Dr. Andrew Balfour:Andrew Balfour trained as a clinical psychologist at University College London and then as an adult psychotherapist at the Tavistock & Portman NHS Trust.

In this episode of What Happens in Vagus, host Dr. Stephanie Canestraro sits down with Cathy Eason, Clinical Director at Berkeley Life, to explore the often-overlooked yet vital molecule: nitric oxide. Cathy shares her fascinating journey from massage therapy to nutritional therapy, a path sparked by a personal mission to address chronic inflammation and promote deeper healing. Together, they unpack the critical role nitric oxide plays in cardiovascular health, blood pressure regulation, and athletic performance—and how we can naturally boost its production through dietary nitrates found in foods like beets and spinach.Dr. Steph and Cathy dive deep into the science behind nitric oxide, explaining how the body produces it through both enzyme-driven pathways and nitrate-rich foods. They highlight the importance of the oral microbiome in this process, discussing how proper oral health—including something as simple as chewing gum—can help convert dietary nitrates into usable nitric oxide. Cathy shares real-life success stories of patients who have seen remarkable improvements in energy, circulation, and blood pressure thanks to nitric oxide supplementation.The conversation also touches on broader themes in functional medicine, such as the impact of EMF exposure, the role of oxalates and soil quality in nutrition, and how a balanced, whole-foods-based diet can support overall wellness. Cathy and Dr. Steph emphasize that effective health optimization requires more than just supplements—it involves understanding nutrient interactions, maintaining gut and oral health, and tuning into the psychological and emotional aspects of healing. Whether you're an athlete looking to enhance performance or someone navigating chronic health challenges, this episode offers empowering insights into how nitric oxide and nutrition can support your journey to better health.More on Cathy: Cathy Eason, MS is a Board Certified Holistic Nutritionist and Functional Nutritional Therapy Practitioner with 20+ years of clinical experience in functional medicine-based nutrition practice. In her role as Clinical Education Director at Berkeley Life, Cathy enjoys breaking down the science of how the body's 'miracle molecule', Nitric Oxide, plays a role in signaling every body system -- starting with the vagus nerve.  Shop the product here.Follow Dr. Steph on Instagram here.Follow Vagus Clinic on Instagram here.Let us know your thoughts on this episode here

Josh shares his transformational journey from emergency medicine to building one of the most robust red light therapy clinics in North America.
