In this episode of Healthy Waves, host Avik Chakraborty sits down with Greg Vorst and Michael Nolan, co-founders of Embodied Recovery, to explore the deeper roots of addiction and mental health struggles. Together, they unpack the powerful idea that “the illness is often in the personality,” and how true recovery requires more than abstinence—it demands transformation of how we live, breathe, and relate to ourselves and others. The conversation covers the role of learned helplessness, how body-based practices like Sundo breathing can loosen ingrained patterns, and why recovery is not just coping but awakening into aliveness, peace, and purpose. This dialogue is direct, thought-provoking, and filled with practical insights for anyone navigating healing, trauma, or transformation. About the Guests   Greg Vorst is a licensed therapist, recovery mentor, and practitioner of Sundo—an ancient Taoist breathing and meditation practice. With decades of experience, he bridges psychology, spiritual wisdom, and embodiment work to create practical tools for everyday healing. Michael Nolan is a recovery leader and transformational teacher whose lived experience fuels his work. He helps people move beyond abstinence into awakening—shifting from helplessness to empowerment, and from survival to authentic living. Together, they founded Embodied Recovery, a pioneering treatment center in Silicon Valley. Key Takeaways   Healing is not only about treating symptoms but reshaping personality patterns that keep us stuck. Learned helplessness can keep people trapped, but small nudges from community and structure restore agency. Abstinence is only the foundation—true recovery comes from transforming how we live and relate. The body holds psychological defenses; breathwork and embodiment practices can release stored tension and unlock healing. Protective personality traits (like armoring or judgment) may once have been survival mechanisms but can block intimacy and growth if left unchecked. Recovery is not just coping—it's awakening to aliveness, responsibility, spiritual connection, and empowered choice. A practical first step: share your struggle with a safe friend, guide, or community—truth-telling begins the healing journey.

Hey Heal Squad! In this Heal in 10, Dr Joe Dispenza joins us to unpack how our thoughts and emotions impact the body, and why fear and stress can literally make us sick. He explains how the stress response, when turned on too often by thought alone, knocks the brain and body out of balance and creates disease. But here's the empowering part: if thoughts can make you sick, they can also make you well! He shares why anxiety often dissolves in just days of doing this work, how to catch yourself going unconscious, and why the present moment is where healing truly begins. PLUS, Maria also opens up about her own struggles with fear and anxiety, and how learning to break the cycle helped her body find stability again. This is packed with wisdom you can use right now to shift out of survival mode and step into healing.

In July 2023 I was diagnosed with T1 Diabetes, aged 26, after months of unexplained symptoms. In this episode, I share a letter I wrote to my Diabetes, the reality of daily management, and how I'm still making sense of this part of my life

The concept of "brain death," introduced in 1968 to enable organ harvesting, has never been proven equivalent to actual death — it merely defines an irreversible coma Documented cases exist of "brain dead" patients who were conscious, including some who mouthed "help me" as their organs were nearly harvested Global organ shortages have fueled a black market, with an estimated 5% to 20% of transplants involving illegal procurement and added pressure to lower diagnostic standards for “brain death” Recent federal investigations found serious failures in the U.S. organ donation system: 29.3% of reviewed cases showed troubling signs, and 20.8% of patients had neurologic activity incompatible with procurement — yet transplant coordinators still pushed to proceed Safer, ethical alternatives exist — such as natural therapies like DMSO that have revived “brain dead” patients and restored organ function, removing the need for transplant

Anxiety in kids doesn't always look like worry. Sometimes it shows up as stomachaches, sleep struggles, irritability, or even constant visits to the school nurse. As pediatricians, we know this is one of the most common challenges families face today and parents are often left wondering: Is this normal? Do I need to be worried? What do I do next? In this episode, I'm joined by pediatrician and author Dr. Natasha Burgert, who just released Managing Childhood Anxiety For Dummies. We talk about how anxiety can look different in kids, when parents should reach out for help, and the many supportive steps families can take before medication is even on the table. We cover: The many faces of anxiety in children (it's often a chameleon) How to talk to your child about anxiety without making it scarier Why early screening matters and what those forms really mean (spoiler: not a label) Common myths about medication and how SSRIs actually work How school transitions (hello, September stomachaches) can trigger anxiety To connect with Dr. Natasha Burgert check out all her resources at https://kckidsdoc.substack.com/.

As pediatricians, we know this is one of the most common challenges families face today and parents are often left wondering: Is this normal? Do I need to be worried? What do I do next? In this episode, I'm joined by pediatrician and author Dr. Natasha Burgert, who just released Managing Childhood Anxiety For Dummies. We talk about how anxiety can look different in kids, when parents should reach out for help, and the many supportive steps families can take before medication is even on the table. We cover: The many faces of anxiety in children (it's often a chameleon) How to talk to your child about anxiety without making it scarier Why early screening matters and what those forms really mean (spoiler: not a label) Common myths about medication and how SSRIs actually work How school transitions (hello, September stomachaches) can trigger anxiety To connect with Dr. Natasha Burgert check out all her resources at https://kckidsdoc.substack.com/.

America is sicker than ever. That's what the data says, anyway. Psychological and psychiatric diagnoses have soared. Between the 1990s and the mid-2000s, bipolar disorder among American youth grew by a factor of 40, while the number of children diagnosed with ADHD increased by a factor of 7. Rates of PTSD, anxiety, and depression have soared, too. Perhaps in previous decades doctors missed millions of cases of illness that we're now catching. Or perhaps, as the New York Times writer David Wallace Wells has written, “we are not getting sicker—we are attributing more to sickness.” We used to be merely forgetful. Now we have ADHD. We used to lack motivation. Now we're depressed. We used to be introverted. Now we experience social anxiety. Today's guest is Suzanne O'Sullivan, a neurologist and the author of 'The Age of Diagnosis: How Our Obsession with Medical Labels Is Making Us Sicker'. O'Sullivan argues that too many doctors today are pathologizing common symptoms in a way that's changing the experience of the body for the worse. When doctors turn healthy people into patients, it's not always clear if they're reducing the risk of future disease or introducing anxiety and potentially harmful treatments to a patient who's basically fine. Rather than see the age of diagnosis as something all good or all bad—a mitzvah or a disease—I want to see it as a social phenomenon, something that is good and bad and all around us.

In this episode of The Light Inside, host Jeffrey Besecker is joined by holistic physician Dr. Brad Montagne to explore how unconscious beliefs, emotional suppression, and meta-cognitive dissonance can inhibit healing in chronic care. Together, we examine how unresolved psychological data and implicit attitudes create empathy gaps and relational disconnection, shaping both treatment resistance and patient well-being. This conversation unpacks the pivotal role empathy plays as a clinical tool—bridging human connection and holistic health outcomes.Key Talking PointsHow unresolved psychological data and suppressed beliefs influence chronic illness.The role of meta-cognitive dissonance in creating resistance to healing.Why empathy gaps in healthcare erode patient trust and connection.Somatic and psychological pathways that link disconnection to diminished healing outcomes.Trauma-informed perspectives on bridging relational divides in chronic care.Key TakeawaysHealing is not only physiological—it's relational, requiring empathy as medicine.Unconscious biases and cultural scripts often drive treatment resistance.Disconnection creates nocebo-like effects that can worsen patient outcomes.Clinicians who bridge empathy gaps can foster resilience and restore trust.Holistic care thrives when emotional, somatic, and relational factors are addressed together.Guest Bio – Dr. Brad MontagneDr. Brad Montagne is a holistic physician and chronic care provider dedicated to helping patients uncover the deeper connections between physical illness and unresolved emotional or psychological patterns. Through his work at HealthfullyU, Dr. Brad integrates medical insight with empathy-driven care, emphasizing the importance of whole-person healing and the restoration of human connection in clinical practice.CreditsHost: Jeffrey BeseckerGuest: Dr. Brad MontagneExecutive Program Director: Anna GetzProduction Team: Aloft Media GroupMusic: Courtesy of Aloft Media GroupConnect with host Jeffrey Besecker on LinkedIn.

Send us a textIn this solo episode of the IBS Nutrition Podcast, dietitian and gut health expert Jessie Wong dives into one of the most frustrating parts of IBS: the unpredictability. If you're tired of guessing games, stuck in elimination diets, or noticing “safe” foods still trigger flare-ups, this episode is for you.Jessie shares the three biggest reasons IBS feels confusing and unmanageable—and while food can be a trigger, it's rarely the whole story. Symptoms are often tied to:Slow gut motility (especially in IBS-C)Overflow diarrhea (constipation masking as diarrhea)Stress and nervous system dysregulationLifestyle habits like poor sleep, dehydration, or inconsistent routinesUnderstanding your root cause is key. One client, Kathy, thought she had IBS-D, but tracking revealed overflow diarrhea from severe constipation. Once that and her food triggers were resolved, her symptoms disappeared.In This Episode, You'll Learn:✔️ Why symptoms don't appear randomly✔️ Mistakes that keep IBS sufferers stuck in food fear✔️ How overflow diarrhea is often misdiagnosed as IBS-D✔️ Why lifestyle—not food—may be the culprit✔️ A structured 3-step plan to uncover triggers✔️ Real client stories from chaos to clarityTimestamps:[00:00] Welcome + intro[01:06] Why symptoms aren't random[02:14] Guessing = anxiety + confusion[04:33] What actually works[07:09] Sharon's story: fear → freedom[12:03] Not all symptoms are food-related[14:16] Gut-brain axis + stress[15:39] Lindsay's story: lifestyle triggers[18:10] Symptom tracking[20:25] Kathy's story: wrong IBS type[22:46] Where to start (tools + resources)[23:53] What doesn't work[24:52] What does work: plan + support[27:19] The IBS Freedom Program[28:23] Can you cure IBS?[29:15] Mercedes' story: restriction → reintroduction[31:08] Final takeaways + masterclass inviteResources Mentioned:Episode 1: IBS Explained: Symptoms, Diagnosis and Getting ReliefEpisode 7: IBS Success Story: How Mercedes Overcame Chronic Diarrhea & MisdiagnosisEpisode 13.

In this solo episode, Dr. Tom Walters breaks down thoracic outlet syndrome (TOS)—a condition caused by compression of the nerves and blood vessels as they pass from the neck into the arm. He begins with an introduction to the condition and explains the difference between neurogenic and vascular TOS, highlighting key symptoms that require urgent medical referral. Dr. Walters then discusses how to differentiate TOS from cervical radiculopathy, a common source of confusion in clinical practice, focusing on symptom distribution, aggravating positions, and relevant clinical tests. Finally, he outlines the most effective physical therapy interventions for neurogenic TOS, including postural retraining, mobility work, scapular strengthening, breathing strategies, and activity modification. This episode is ideal for anyone interested in learning more about the anatomy, diagnosis, and rehab management of TOS, from clinicians to patients dealing with upper extremity pain and dysfunction.

IntroductionMy first experience with a cardiac arrest as a new EMT → exhilarating, confirmed calling to emergency medicine.Early struggles: dropped out of college, lacked discipline, but EMT training provided a direction and purpose.Spent years balancing work as EMT/paramedic with school → long path to becoming a PA.Lessons from emergency medicine shaped clinical skills and mindset.Concept of standards:Standards = benchmarks, measurable expectations, non-negotiable habits.Different from principles (general truths) → standards are concrete, either met or not.Standards build consistency, resilience, and preparation.Personal struggles: binge eating, lack of discipline, repeated failures to meet daily goals.Turning point: completing 75 Hard program → developed discipline, consistency, higher personal standards.Standards spill over into clinical performance, family life, and personal growth.Emphasizes locus of control:Focus on what you can control, not external factors.Even in chaotic emergency medicine, there are controllable elements.Warns that neglected habits eventually become emergent problems (health, mindset, life).Family story: father's heart attack → personal wake-up call about health and discipline.Core message: Raising standards in personal life and medicine leads to thriving, not just surviving.Purpose: help others raise their own standards without taking 16 years to learn the lessons.Chapter 1: Do Not Seek to DiagnoseCase study: elderly woman with shortness of breath and chest pain.No pulmonary embolism, but fluid in lungs and around heart → problem found, but no definitive diagnosis yet.Highlight: in the ED, the goal is to rule out life-threatening conditions, not always find the exact cause.Key principle: Diagnosis is often less important than identifying and stabilizing dangerous conditions.Emergency medicine limits:Not every test or long-term treatment available.Focus on acute, life-threatening issues; leave underlying cause to specialists.Patients often expect answers and certainty, but ED care is about safety and ruling out the worst cases.Overdiagnosis problems:Incidental findings (lung nodules, brain aneurysms, ultrasound anomalies) → create stress, anxiety, or unnecessary proceSupport the showEverything you hear today from myself and my guests is opinion only and doesn't represent any organizations or companies that any of us are affiliated with.

In this episode of the Tick Boot Camp Podcast, we sit down with András Pal Bozsik, co-founder of Lyme Diagnostics Ltd and coordinator of the EU-funded DualDur® project, to discuss a disruptive new diagnostic technology that promises earlier, more accurate detection of Lyme disease. For decades, Lyme testing has relied on indirect serological methods that often miss early infection and fail chronic patients. András shares how his father's pioneering work on Borrelia detection inspired the development of DualDur®, an AI-driven, direct detection system capable of finding Borrelia burgdorferi in blood samples at all stages of infection. We cover: Why current Lyme serology tests miss up to 60% of early infections How the DualDur® cell technology medium stabilizes and concentrates Borrelia for accurate identification The role of AI-powered automated microscopy in eliminating human error and improving sensitivity Scientific evidence of Borrelia's genetic variation and shape-shifting every 2–3 weeks — explaining chronic infection and recurring IgM immune responses How DualDur testing can monitor treatment efficacy and guide Lyme-literate practitioners The debate over sexual transmission of Lyme and mother-to-child transmission risks Insights from clinical trials with 400 patients across Europe proving DualDur's higher accuracy compared to standard methods The importance of combination antibiotic therapy, including overlooked options like ciprofloxacin, and why single antibiotics are rarely effective Plans to expand DualDur testing across Europe and eventually into the United States with FDA trials This groundbreaking conversation bridges science, technology, and patient care. It gives hope to millions of Lyme patients seeking a reliable test and effective treatment strategies.

Today I'm talking with Danielle Elliot, a health and science journalist, documentarian, and host of Climbing the Walls, an investigative podcast from Understood.org digging into the surge in ADHD diagnoses among women—especially since the pandemic. If that sounds familiar, it's cause I did a number of ads for her show a few months back, and I just wanted to make sure that I mention that, since while I'm not getting paid for this episode, I have done work with Understood before and probably will be promoting more of their stuff in the future. Anyway, in our conversation today, we cover a lot of ground, from debunking the idea that no one knew women could have ADHD until recently, to how social media has reshaped the conversation, to why research on hormones and ADHD is still way behind. We also get into the everyday realities of living with ADHD, the default mode network, and why we need far more research into how ADHD shows up in women. It's a mix of science, lived experience, and the kind of practical reflection that can help you rethink how ADHD fits into your life. If you'd life to follow along on the show notes page you can find that at http://hackingyouradhd.com/241 YouTube: https://tinyurl.com/y835cnrk Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/HackingYourADHD This Episode's Top Tips 1. Instead of guessing when you've overbooked yourself, start tracking it like an experiment. For a few weeks, note each day you have social, professional, or mentally demanding activities beyond your baseline, then try and figure out how many consecutive “on” days it takes before you feel fried. 2. Downtime doesn't magically appear and needs to be scheduled on the calendar, or it often just gets eaten by other people's needs or whatever's loudest in the moment. If someone asks you to do something during that block, you can truthfully say you already have something scheduled. Treating self-care time as a legit appointment protects it from getting deprioritized just because it's “only for you.” 3. A common ADHD trap is overestimating how awful or time-consuming a task will be, which makes it easier to avoid it. Try timing your tasks to give yourself actual data to challenge your brain's “this will take forever” narrative and can turn a dreaded job into something you knock out in a couple of minutes. 4. Consider hormonal factors when tracking ADHD symptoms, as hormones have a big influence on your ADHD symptoms, yet are often overlooked. Hormonal changes can affect focus, energy, mood, and even how well ADHD medication works. Tracking your symptoms alongside your cycle or other hormonal shifts can help you spot patterns and adjust strategies accordingly.
