Podcast appearances and mentions of David Clarke

Unexplained chronic pain/illness trapping you in ND chaos? In this episode of Adulting with Autism, host April dives into neuroplastic symptoms—brain-generated conditions from stress/trauma (1 in 6 adults, higher in autism/ADHD)—with Dr. David Clarke, MD (Internal Medicine/Gastroenterology), ATNS President (nonprofit ending pain epidemic), and podcast host "The Story Behind the Symptoms." Treating 7000+ patients, Dr. Clarke's book "They Can't Find Anything Wrong" reveals real symptoms (fibromyalgia/migraines/IBS/long COVID) unresponsive to physical treatments—focus on stress sources for recovery. Key insights: Neuroplastic basics: Brain rewires from stresses (current emotions/childhood adversity/being "different" like ND); no structural cause but real (scans prove circuits change). ND link: Masking/difference adds pressure; symptoms signal distress (e.g., pain only at work triggers). Screening: Free 12-question quiz at symptomatic.me (

A2 THE SHOW #591Our next guest is Dr. David Clarke, President of ATNS and a leading expert on how the brain generates chronic pain. In this episode, he breaks down the deep connection between stress, trauma, childhood experiences, and physical symptoms—showing how anxiety, emotional pressure, and old beliefs can shape the body for decades. From misdiagnosed pain to the roots of imposter syndrome, Dr. Clarke explains how awareness, healing, and even simple joy can transform both mental and physical health.ATNS WEBSITE: https://www.symptomatic.me/WEBSITE: https://davidclarke.onlinepresskit247.com/about.htmlIG (ATNS): @symptomatic.mePlease visit our website to get more information: https://a2theshow.com/a2-the-show/⏰Timestamps:00:00 – Introduction07:11 – New stress-symptom treatments13:50 – How stress and trauma affect health20:12 – Trauma, anxiety, and the body26:23 – Misunderstanding “mental strength”32:59 – Fear and manipulation in society39:20 – Childhood pressure and long-term impact45:44 – Lasting effects of childhood trauma51:50 – The importance of joy58:01 – How success can trigger stress

Invisible illnesses shape millions of lives, yet most patients spend years in the system without answers. Dr. David Clarke has spent his career at the intersection of internal medicine, psychology, and mind-body research. His mission is clear. Help clinicians recognize when symptoms are driven by the nervous system rather than structural disease. Help patients finally feel seen. And give the medical community a framework to reduce unnecessary testing while improving outcomes.In this episode he explains how the brain generates real physical symptoms under stress, trauma, and emotional overload. He walks through clinical red flags that differentiate structural disease from functional conditions. He shares stories of patients who suffered for years before receiving the right diagnosis. Dr. Bonta and Dr. Clarke explore why invisible illnesses are often missed in rushed systems. They dig into tools clinicians can use to validate symptoms without over pathologizing them. They highlight communication strategies that restore trust. They also discuss prevention, early detection, and the growing evidence supporting mind-body approaches.The conversation is practical. Evidence based. Deeply human. Dr. Clarke shows how clinicians can uncover hidden drivers of symptoms and give patients a path to recovery even when imaging and lab work are normal. This episode is designed for anyone who wants to understand the science and psychology behind medically unexplained symptoms and how to improve care for this underserved population.David Clarke, MD's Website : https://www.symptomatic.me/Episode Takeaway 1. Neuroplastic Symptoms: Real physical sensations created by the brain that can improve with the right approach.2. Invisible Illnesses: Often missed because standard training focuses on structural disease, not functional mechanisms.3. Brain Body Pathways: Stress and trauma can activate neural circuits that generate chronic pain and gut symptoms.4. Diagnostic Clarity: Red flags help distinguish functional illness from conditions that need imaging or procedures.5. Validation Matters: Patients recover faster when clinicians acknowledge symptoms without dismissing them.6. Communication Skills: Asking the right questions uncovers hidden emotional drivers behind persistent symptoms.7. Prevention Tools: Early recognition of neuroplastic patterns reduces unnecessary testing and specialist referrals.8. Hope in Recovery: Most patients improve once they learn how the nervous system produces their symptoms.Episode timestamps 02:46 – Why invisible illnesses elude standard medical training06:13 – How the nervous system produces real physical symptoms10:34 – Red flags that separate structural disease from functional illness14:51 – Communication strategies that validate patient symptoms19:30 – Trauma, stress and the hidden drivers of chronic symptoms24:42 – Clinical cases that shifted Dr. Clarke's diagnostic approach30:04 – Tools clinicians can use to reduce unnecessary testing35:57 – Preventing invisible illness through early recognition and educationDISCLAMER >>>>>>    The Ditch Lab Coat podcast serves solely for general informational purposes and does not serve as a substitute for professional medical services such as medicine or nursing.

What if 40% of the patients walking into doctor's offices have real, debilitating symptoms—but nothing physically wrong with their bodies?Dr. David Clarke has spent decades proving this isn't "all in your head." It's in your brain—and it's changeable. After treating over 7,000 patients with mysterious chronic conditions, earning Doctor of the Year honors, and authoring the groundbreaking book They Can't Find Anything Wrong, Dr. Clarke has become one of the leading voices in stress illness recovery. His work reveals why gold-standard research centers are now showing remarkable outcomes for conditions that baffled medicine for generations.In this episode, you'll discover:Why your chronic symptoms might be a form of communication from your mindThe surprising childhood patterns that predict adult illness decades laterHow one woman's 60 hospitalizations ended when she identified a single triggerThe "butterfly on the wall" exercise that unlocks buried emotional truthWhy writing a letter you never send can eliminate years of physical painThe personality traits that make mentally strong people more vulnerable to stress illnessHow the brain physically changes when emotional wounds are finally addressedThe missing self-care skill that prevents full recoveryIf you've been suffering for months, years, or even decades with symptoms that doctors can't explain... if you've been told "there's nothing wrong" while your body screams otherwise... this episode is your permission slip to believe what you've always sensed: your pain is real, AND there's a way out.Dr. Clarke's patients have recovered from 55 years of abdominal pain. From decades of unexplained symptoms. From conditions so severe they required hospitalization and round-the-clock morphine. Not through more tests or medications—but by finally understanding what their bodies were trying to say.The most powerful truth in this conversation? You're not broken. You're not weak. You're actually stronger than average—you've just been carrying weight no one should have to carry alone. And once you learn to set that weight down, you don't just lose the pain. You gain the life you were always meant to live.

When a Maine radio reporter counted 30 unmarked jets laying persistent white trails across the sky in 45 minutes and an air traffic controller admitted off-record he'd been ordered by "higher civil authority" to reroute commercial flights away from a military exercise no one would explain, it sparked a global debate that would divide scientists, military officials, and millions of observers across 14 countries for the next two decades.IN THIS EPISODE: The chemtrail conspiracy theory posits the belief that long-lasting condensation trails, also known as “contrails” are in fact "chemtrails" consisting of chemical or biological agents purposefully left in the sky by high-flying aircraft, sprayed for nefarious purposes and undisclosed to the general public. The scientific community has dismissed the theory, but others insist the truth is simply being covered up. Who is telling the truth? What is the truth? We'll look at the controversy over contrails. (Contrary Chemtrails) *** In 1947, Major Jesse Marcel was sent to a crash site near Roswell, New Mexico to investigate what happened. We all know the story from there – the strange metal, the alien bodies, the confiscated extraterrestrial technology, the weather-balloon story we initially believed and then didn't believe. Now, more than seven decades later, Jesse Marcel's grandchildren are speaking up about their knowledge of what happened at Roswell. (The Roswell Grandchildren) *** If you look up the term “water babies” on the net, you might find something akin to swim classes for newborns and toddlers. But if you mention the term “water babies” near Pyramid Lake in Nevada, a much, much darker scene comes to mind. (Water Babies Aren't As Cute As They Sound) *** According to the Bible, no man knows the day Christ will return. But that didn't stop William Miller from predicting anyway. Not once, but three times – and he was wrong, three times.

Welcome back to MTP, where hosts David Clarke and Robert Kelly deliver the original, unfiltered NFL Power Rankings you can count on as we enter Week 9 of the 2025 NFL season. With playoff spots in sight and trade-deadline hype building, this episode reveals which teams are for real, which are fading fast, and how the national landscape is shifting.  

Retired U.S. Army Colonel Karl Nell — a key figure in the Pentagon's UAP research efforts — recently made waves by declaring that UAP disclosure is dead. In this episode, Ryan Sprague unpacks Nell's remarks through his essay “Frankenstein and Flying Saucers” from the acclaimed book UFOs: Reframing the Debate (edited by Robbie Graham). Drawing on the insights of Carl Jung, Jacques Vallée, Jenny Randles, David Clarke, and Greg Bishop, Ryan explores how our understanding of UFOs mirrors Frankenstein's creation — a reflection of humanity's fears, desires, and need to define the unknown. This thought-provoking discussion challenges the “extraterrestrial” assumption and asks: could the truth behind UFOs lie not in the stars, but within ourselves?

At EUVC Summit 2025, one of the most animated sessions wasn't about regulation or returns—it was about size.Fund size.“You need to back small, early, and smart.”— ChloéWhile some claimed that fund size isn't predictive of returns, this panel pushed back with a powerful rebuttal: in early-stage venture, size absolutely matters—and skin in the game matters even more.Chloé laid out the logic:The earlier you invest, the lower the probability of hitting a mega outcomeBut the smaller your fund, the greater your exposure to uncapped upside“No one thought a $100M fund was too large in the early 2000s. But back then, a $1B exit was 99th percentile. Today? That's just 85th. A $20B exit is the new 99th percentile.”In short: outcomes have scaled dramatically—but fund sizes have ballooned even faster.If you want real multiples, you can't rely on average returns. You need asymmetric upside.“Average venture-backed exit valuation? Still around $100M.”That stat alone makes a strong case for micro-funds.→ A $5B mega fund might get you into elite cap tables—but you're unlikely to 10x→ A $30–50M fund? One breakout and you're a rocketshipAnd the panel made it clear: LPs chasing “safe” strategies may be missing the real alpha generators.The panel also poked fun at outdated VC modeling tools:“Can we finally stop using the Page & Associates PDF?”(Amen.)This wasn't just a critique of stale math—it was a call for more creative, conviction-led underwriting in a world where category winners look radically different than they did two decades ago.“We're not looking for averagely good returns. We're backing for uncapped upside.”That's the ethos driving many LPs toward emerging managers and micro funds.Not to mention the sense of alignment, focus, and nimbleness that often fades in billion-dollar vehicles.This panel had heat—and it wasn't done.“Happy to do this again.

Louder.”Count us in.The Case for Small Funds: Math, Mindset, and MultiplesThe Uncomfortable Truth: Most VC Exits Are Still SmallPage & Associates: Retire the TemplateFund Size Isn't Just Capital—It's PhilosophyComing Soon… A Podcast Debate?

#169  - When Medicine Can't Explain Your Symptoms: The Deep Stress-Trauma Link Your Doctor Is Missing with Neuroplastic Expert, David Clarke, MD What if your chronic symptoms aren't just “in your body”… but are being generated by your brain? In this episode of Pretty Well, I'm sitting down with Dr. David Clarke, MD—author, speaker, and president of the Association for Treatment of Neuroplastic Symptoms—to dive into a game-changing topic most doctors aren't even talking about: how stress, trauma, and repressed emotions can drive real, physical illness. We're breaking down what neuroplastic symptoms are, how adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) silently program your health later in life, and why you might feel terrible even when your lab tests are “normal.” (Fun fact: the brain can cause real pain, gut issues, migraines, and autoimmune symptoms—and no, it's not "just in your head.") You'll learn why understanding the mind-body connection isn't about blaming yourself—it's about finally getting real answers that actually lead to healing. If you're tired of dead-end doctor visits, bandaid treatments, and feeling like a medical mystery, this episode might be the lightbulb moment you've been waiting for. Because healing isn't just possible—it might be closer than you think. LInks & Resources: Join the conversation: Share your thoughts with us on social media or in the comments!

Are they invaders from outer space as imagined in Hollywood movies? Are they the product of psychological, sociological, and cultural factors? Are they nonterrestrial intelligences who are intimately linked to humanity? Instead of wrestling with theories and speculation, Nigel Watson speaks directly with ‘ordinary' people in the United Kingdom who have reported seeing UFOs and a wide range of startling associated phenomena, that in the past were considered by UFO investigators as too farfetched or ‘crazy.'His decadeslong research shows how UFO encounters can often escalate from simple sightings of lights in the sky to sightings of alien entities, robots, men in black, and angelic beings. UFO witnesses and experiencers can also be plagued by a lifechanging poltergeist or other ghostly experiences, telepathic messages, alien communications, strange coincidences, visions of the future, and abductions. Many of the stories might seem like science fiction or the very stuff of nightmares, yet they are told by people of different age groups, social backgrounds, and locations.  Whatever the answer, if there is any one answer, this is a fascinating look at how UFO experiences have evolved in the UK and reflect similar worldwide changes in our relationship with the unknown.BioNigel Watson has researched and investigated historical and contemporary reports of UFO sightings. In collaboration with Granville Oldroyd and David Clarke, he has written several articles about phantom airships seen over Britain in 1909 and 1913. Their comprehensive study of the 1913 airship scare was published by the Fund for UFO Research (FUFOR) in 1988.A wider survey of these historical reports is contained in his e-book titled, The Origin of UFOs: Phantom Airships 1807 to 1917 (selfhelpguides.com) and he has produced another e-book titled The Flying Saucer Cinema (selfhelpguides.com).
