Natasha sits down with Melissa Duge Spiers, author of "Holy Disobedience: Sex, Sin, and Secrets in the Biggest Church No One Knows," for a wide-ranging conversation before diving into her story. They talk about growing up inside a strict, fundamentalist Seventh-day Adventist Church, and how Melissa's life changed when she learned her father, a respected pastor, was a serial child predator shielded for years by the church. Melissa shares how she rebuilt her sense of self after escaping high control religion, including an unexpected friendship with her father's first victim that helped her reclaim her voice. Her memoir is being called a story of fierce honesty and radical freedom for anyone breaking out of controlling systems.

Viral comedian and school custodian Jimmy Cash joins Dopey to tell a funny, painful, and unmistakably Dopey recovery story. Jimmy grew up in Worcester, Massachusetts, surrounded by addiction and Alcoholics Anonymous. His father—a high-school janitor—died from an overdose when Jimmy was nine, while his mother cycled through addiction, recovery, and relationships with other janitors. After watching The Basketball Diaries as a child, Jimmy became obsessed with getting high before he had even tried a real drug. By his teens, Jimmy was smoking weed, drinking, taking psychedelics, using cocaine and ketamine, getting arrested, and fighting with police. He recalls punching a cop who was kindly driving him home, attacking the weak knee of a college RA—or at least being accused of it—and causing a coked-out disaster at an IHOP that ended with him breaking the handle off a police car and being beaten in custody. Court-ordered AA eventually became genuine recovery. Jimmy got sober in 2003, built a family, became a custodian, and pursued his lifelong dream of stand-up comedy. His janitor videos went viral, leading to national attention and an appearance on The Kelly Clarkson Show. But after more than 20 years without drinking or using, divorce, career pressure, grief, isolation, and insomnia left Jimmy sleeping on his younger sister's couch. He began “nibbling” cannabis edibles, quickly recognized that he was getting high, and made the humbling decision to return to AA and pick up a new 24-hour chip. Plus: a listener steals a car and escapes police through a freezing pond, questions about the experimental opioid compound SR-17018, a precipitated-withdrawal horror story, spicy reactions to the Roy Donk episode, drugged dogs, dead parrots, Phish fans, and DopeyCon business. All that and more on this weeks new MASS edition of Dopey!   Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Children are on screens 7 to 9 hours a day according to the latest data. In  this episode, Dr. Chris Motley sat down with Dr. Stacy Jagger, aka “Dr. Sassy,” family therapist, mental health expert and author of The 30-Day Blackout to learn how a month-long digital detox for the whole family regulates a child's nervous system, resolves many behavioral issues and even ADHD symptoms naturally, and allows struggling families to find healing and connection.  Content Warning: There is a brief mention of childhood sexual abuse toward the end of the episode. The subject is not lingered on.  Dr. Stacy reveals her profound story of grappling with her own childhood and how it inspired her to help children struggling emotionally. She walks us through what the 30-Day detox looks like and why children aren't meant to handle the exposure to screens they have today. This deep and meaningful conversation also includes insights on healing from trauma as an adult and the freedom in good, old-fashioned play.  Whether your kids are struggling to focus and all over the map emotionally or you just feel your family is drifting into disconnection, this episode on digital detoxing is for you. In this episode, you will learn:  How screen time has taken over nearly every square inch of our lives, fostering a lack of connection, play and the constructive energy that only boredom can create. It sends kids' nervous systems over the edge and thwarts their natural access to creativity, connection, nature and play.  How a digital detox perturbs a family system, providing a pathway for healing core issues.  While neurofeedback and nutritional changes are extremely helpful for children dealing with ADHD, cutting screen time can help reduce symptoms.   The gryphon roundup, plus the Opal App or the Freedom App, are all tools that protect kids and regulate screen time.  How adults can heal generational trauma with tools like Ketamine therapy.  In Dr. Stacy's experience, when families complete a digital detox, they stop craving sugar, and begin making wiser choices for their health. Detoxing from screens helps uncover intuition and impulse control.  Want more of The Ancient Health Podcast? Subscribe to the YouTube channel. ------  Follow Doctor Motley!

129. Psychedelics for Seniors: Aging & What's NextA live Salon panel on psychedelics after 60: set and setting, medication interactions, integration circles, and what aging can offer instead of loss.Episode SummaryThe psychedelic renaissance gets covered like a young person's story, executives microdosing before board meetings, twenty somethings on retreats. But the fastest growing population interested in this medicine right now is confronting retirement, widowhood, the death of parents, the question of legacy. This episode is a live Salon recording built around psychedelics for seniors, with filmmaker Scott Paul Wright, writer Abbie Rosner, and naturopathic physician Dr. Emily Whinkin. We get into set and setting, medication contraindications, ketamine versus psilocybin, and what integration actually looks like once the journey is over. Abbie's research on 36 older adults turns up something worth sitting with: most of them called later life the happiest, most meaningful stretch they've had.

View the Show Notes Page for This Episode Become a Member to Receive Exclusive Content Sign Up to Receive Peter's Weekly Newsletter In this episode, Peter sits down with Dr. Linus Abrams, a psychiatrist with nearly 35 years of clinical experience specializing in mood disorders and psychopharmacology, to explore how our understanding of mental health is evolving beyond the traditional neurotransmitter model. After decades in practice, Linus began questioning many of the assumptions underlying modern psychiatry, leading him to investigate how hormones, metabolism, inflammation, circadian biology, and the endocrine system shape mood and cognition. Together, Peter and Linus examine why psychiatric care should aim not only to reduce symptoms but also to restore the full human experience. They discuss how psychiatric medications work, where they fall short, and why distinguishing bipolar disorder from unipolar depression is essential for effective treatment. The conversation also explores the growing mental health burden of social isolationn associated with digital devices and social media, along with the biological factors—nutrition, exercise, sleep, and chronic stress—that influence resilience and distress tolerance. Linus explains the powerful roles of estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, and thyroid hormone in regulating mood and cognition across the lifespan. Finally, Peter and Linus review the promise and limitations of ketamine and psychedelic therapies, and why the future of psychiatry may lie in integrating neuroscience, endocrinology, and whole-body physiology to better understand, diagnose, and treat mental illness. We discuss: Linus's passion for understanding his patients and going beyond traditional psychiatry [2:45]; A short primer on the different classes of drugs used in psychiatry [12:45]; Evaluation of a patient with bipolar disorder [26:00]; An evolutionary perspective on depression [33:30]; Changes in the modern world triggering mental health problems [41:00]; An evolutionary perspective on insomnia [48:15]; Peter's window analogy to understand distress tolerance and irritability [49:45]; The impact of foundational biological factors on psychiatry: nutrition, exercise, sleep, and endocrinology [52:30]; The effect of estradiol on neurotransmitters in the brain [58:15]; Options for increasing testosterone in men, and why clomiphene is inferior to exogenous testosterone [1:11:00]; The rapid drop in progesterone is linked to both premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD) and postpartum depression [1:14:30]; Treatment of postpartum depression [1:18:00]; Hypothyroidism presenting as depression: how Linus makes the diagnosis and what he uses for treatment [1:26:00]; The link between hyperarousal and chronically elevated cortisol [1:39:30]; A case where the menopause transition uncovers bipolar disorder [1:44:15]; Ketamine as a tool to treat recalcitrant depression, and concerns about its recreational use [1:49:15]; Case study: an Alzheimer's patient who improved after psilocybin, and why Linus is cautious about drawing conclusions from it [1:55:15]; Peter's experience with psychedelics, and the myth that estrogen is bad for men [2:00:30]; The therapeutic potential of psychedelics in psychiatry [2:11:00]; and More.

In this episode of The Psychedelic Podcast, Paul F. Austin welcomes Dr. Remi Drozd back to explore ketamine, SSRIs, and the changing landscape of psychedelic mental health care. Find full show notes and links here: https://thethirdwave.co/podcast/episode-369/?ref=278 Since Remi first appeared on the podcast in Episode 182, Lucid Therapeutics has grown from a small ketamine practice into a ten-room interventional mental health clinic offering ketamine treatments, Spravato, TMS, therapy, integration support, and other approaches. Paul and Remi examine one of the less-discussed challenges facing psychedelic medicine: many prospective patients are already taking antidepressants and other psychiatric medications. Remi explains why SSRI tapering needs to be individualized, how ketamine may support some patients through treatment transitions, and what clinicians may need to consider as psilocybin and other psychedelic therapies move closer to mainstream clinical use. Dr. Remi Drozd is a board-certified physician and founder of Lucid Therapeutics in Santa Barbara. After 15 years practicing emergency medicine, he shifted toward more integrative approaches to mental health care. He has trained in ketamine therapy and MDMA-assisted therapy through MAPS. His work focuses on individualized care, expanding access, and preparing for how emerging psychedelic treatments may fit into the existing mental healthcare system. Highlights: The growth of Lucid Therapeutics Expanding access through insurance-based care Navigating ketamine alongside SSRIs Why SSRI tapering must be individualized Withdrawal versus the return of depression Preparing patients for future psilocybin therapy The infrastructure required for psychedelic treatment Bringing longer psychedelic sessions into existing clinics Episode Links: SSRI Deprescribing & Psychedelic Readiness Training: https://edu.psychedeliccoaching.institute/ssri-deprescribing-and-psychedelic-readiness-certification/?ref=8 Lucid Therapeutics: https://www.thelucid.life/ Disclaimer: This content is for educational, informational, and entertainment purposes only.

Ketamine for emergency intubation has a reputation for hemodynamic stability, but does the best evidence back that up when your patient is truly sick? Today, we walk through four fresh research summaries that sharpen day-to-day anesthesia patient safety decisions, from airway management in shock and sepsis to the way teams and technology shape outcomes in the OR.First, we break down a large randomized controlled trial comparing ketamine versus etomidate for tracheal intubation in critically ill adults across U.S. emergency departments and ICUs. Mortality is similar, but ketamine shows more peri-intubation cardiovascular collapse, including hypotension and increased vasopressor use, especially in sicker patients. Our practical focus is how to choose an induction agent based on hemodynamic risk and how to prepare for peri-intubation instability.Next, we head into the cardiac OR to explore why surgeon-anesthesiologist dyad familiarity may be a systems-level patient safety strategy. A large retrospective study links more consistent pairings with lower operative mortality and better perioperative outcomes, raising real questions about scheduling, teamwork, and communication under pressure. We also review evidence on BIS-guided closed-loop anesthesia systems that improve anesthetic depth control by reducing excessively deep anesthesia without increasing light anesthesia, and we close with perioperative brain health, highlighting why routine preoperative cognitive screening is still uncommon and what resources could finally make it standard practice.Subscribe to the Anesthesia Patient Safety Podcast, share this with a colleague, and leave a review so more clinicians can find the latest evidence-focused perioperative safety insights.For show notes & transcript, visit our episode page at apsf.org: https://www.apsf.org/podcast/319-four-new-studies-that-change-daily-anesthesia-safety-decisions/© 2026, The Anesthesia Patient Safety Foundation

Listen without ads and buy DOPEYCON TICKETS ONLY ON SALE ON PATREON: www.patreon.com/dopeypodcast This week on Dopey! On a sprawling new episode of Dopey, Dave celebrates recovery, remembers members of the Dopey Nation who have died, and welcomes Good Baklava founder Roy Donk for an unbelievably chaotic conversation about drugs, Phish, entrepreneurship and sobriety. The episode begins with Australian Dope Maddie B celebrating one year without alcohol after years of severe alcoholism, seizures, psychosis and repeated attempts to stop. Her message about continuing to try leads into a remembrance of Annie Ellie on the anniversary of her death. Dave plays Annie's old recording about discovering Dopey while she was still using and how Dave, Chris and the Dopey Nation helped make recovery feel possible. Dave also explains Dopey Day, the annual social-media tribute honoring Chris, Todd, Annie, Brian and the other dopes the community has lost. Taylor checks in with a darkly funny voicemail about why Dopey's willingness to laugh at addiction, death and other painful subjects still matters. Dave then reads responses to the Christmas episode with Chris O'Connor's former partner Annie, including messages about grief, relapse, lost loved ones and the idea that grief never disappears—we gradually build a larger life around it. Minnesota Matt contributes the episode's first major drug story: after spending days smoking crack alone, he wakes up naked, bloodied and bruised beside a broken guitar and realizes he overdosed while playing along with the Allman Brothers. A tape recorder captured the collapse, but after listening to the evidence, he loads another crack pipe and continues smoking. California Miles then sends an update about the end of his 38-year marriage and his attempt to replace self-pity with acceptance and the Serenity Prayer. The featured guest is Roy Donk, founder of Good Baklava and the Knicks fan who became a viral presence outside Madison Square Garden. Roy recounts growing up Orthodox Jewish in New Jersey, smoking K2, stealing cologne, dropping out of high school, working bizarre Hasidic jobs and eventually discovering Phish and psychedelics. His story escalates through cocaine dealing, life in a San Diego drug house, a dog accidentally eating acid, selling drugs on Phish tour and getting arrested at Mohegan Sun after doing ketamine at the slot machines while dressed in a Phish robe. Court-ordered rehab initially fails to convince Roy that he is an addict, and he quickly returns to nitrous, cocaine, ketamine and touring. During the pandemic, he moves to Mexico and maintains a remote marketing career while using heavily. A Tulum work trip becomes a massive binge, culminating in Roy accidentally uploading uncensored photographs of the debauchery to his employer's shared drive. After losing the job, Roy walks into an English-speaking AA meeting in Mexico and begins working with a sponsor. He eventually admits that he cannot control his drug use, returns to Phish tour sober and discovers that recovery doesn't require surrendering the music or community he loves. When he needs a legal way to make money on tour, he buys three containers of grocery-store baklava and sells them at a show. That spontaneous hustle eventually becomes Good Baklava, importing unbaked baklava from Turkey and building a growing business from New Jersey. All that and more, more, more, more on a sweet phishy new dopey episode of that good old dopey show.   Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Ketamine clinics have exploded worldwide, offering low-dose intravenous infusions for chronic pain patients who've run out of options. But is this practice actually backed by evidence, or has off-label use outpaced the science? In this episode, Dr. David Rosenblum reviews the current literature on subanaesthetic-dose ketamine infusions (SDKIs) for chronic pain, drawing on the 2023 British Journal of Pain review by Harry M. Griffiths, "Low-dose ketamine infusions for chronic pain management: Does this qualify as evidence-based practice?" Topics covered: Why conventional analgesics (opioids, anticonvulsants, antidepressants) fail in 60-70% of chronic pain patients - How ketamine works as an NMDA receptor antagonist, and why that mechanism is likely an oversimplification - Typical SDKI dosing (~0.35-0.5 mg/kg) versus anesthetic dosing, and why the IV route dominates the evidence base - What the meta-analyses actually show: modest, time-limited pain reduction with higher efficacy but more side effects at higher doses - Key trials, including Corriger et al.'s 1-year follow-up (256 patients) and Orhurhu et al.'s systematic review and meta-analysis - Common side effects (nausea, psychomimetic symptoms) versus rare but serious adverse events, and how premedication with clonidine/midazolam affects risk - Why blinding failure may be inflating reported effect sizes - The absence of standardized protocols, guidelines, or a clear "exit strategy" for long-term SDKI therapy Bottom line: SDKIs offer a promising but still under-evidenced option for refractory chronic pain, reserved for the right patient with modest expectations and careful monitoring.   Reference: Griffiths HM. Low-dose ketamine infusions for chronic pain management: Does this qualify as evidence-based practice?

Topics covered: Why conventional analgesics (opioids, anticonvulsants, antidepressants) fail in 60–70% of chronic pain patients How ketamine works as an NMDA receptor antagonist, and why that mechanism is likely an oversimplification Typical SDKI dosing (~0.35–0.5 mg/kg) versus anesthetic dosing, and why the IV route dominates the evidence base What the meta-analyses actually show: modest, time-limited pain reduction (mean difference around -1.83 on a 0–10 scale) with higher efficacy but more side effects at higher doses Key trials — Corriger et al.'s 1-year follow-up (256 patients), Orhurhu et al.'s systematic review and meta-analysis, and smaller RCTs in CRPS, fibromyalgia, and ischemic limb pain Common side effects (nausea, psychomimetic symptoms) versus rare but serious adverse events (hepatic, cardiac, urogenital) — and how dose and premedication with clonidine/midazolam affect risk Why blinding failure (up to 93% of patients correctly guessing their treatment in one trial) may be inflating reported effect sizes The absence of standardized protocols, guidelines, or a clear "exit strategy" for patients on long-term SDKI therapy What needs to happen next: larger multicenter RCTs, ketamine clinic registries, and better outcome measures beyond simple pain scores Bottom line: SDKIs offer a promising but still under-evidenced option for refractory chronic pain — reserved for the right patient, with modest expectations and careful monitoring.

Ketamine clinics have exploded worldwide, offering low-dose intravenous infusions for chronic pain patients who've run out of options. But is this practice actually backed by evidence, or has off-label use outpaced the science?

Dr. Lowan Stewart is not just someone who opened a ketamine clinic. He is someone who built the infrastructure for an entire country to access it.In this conversation, Sam sits down with Dr. Stewart, an emergency physician who co-founded the first ketamine clinic in New Mexico in 2016, brought ketamine therapy to Norway two years later, established the first public ketamine treatment unit in Scandinavia, and played a central role in Norway becoming the first country in the world to approve national public reimbursement for off-label ketamine in treatment-resistant depression.What makes Dr. Stewart's story particularly resonant for our audience is how familiar the starting point will feel. An EM physician who loved his work but felt the limits of what emergency medicine could do for the river of suffering flowing through the department. A side project that became a calling. An uphill battle against institutional skepticism that most providers in this space will recognize immediately.He also brings a perspective on the future of psychedelic medicine that is worth hearing. His argument is straightforward: ketamine is not just a treatment. It is the infrastructure that will make everything else, psilocybin, MDMA, and what comes after, possible in clinical and public health settings. Getting ketamine right now is how the field prepares for what is coming next.This is a wide-ranging conversation covering career pivots, pioneering in resistant systems, the mechanics of moving a national healthcare system, and the daily reality of doing work that genuinely transforms lives.What you'll gain:• The full arc of Dr. Stewart's career pivot from emergency medicine to ketamine therapy, including what pushed him toward something with more systemic and sustainable impact than the ER could offer• A firsthand account of what it actually looks like to be the first mover in a resistant healthcare system, from opening the first ketamine clinic in New Mexico to fighting a formal complaint from the Norwegian Psychiatric Association• How Dr. Stewart built the first public ketamine treatment unit in Scandinavia and the strategy behind getting ten major Norwegian hospitals to implement ketamine therapy simultaneously through a multi-site clinical trial• What Norway's landmark decision to become the first country in the world to approve national public reimbursement for off-label ketamine in treatment-resistant depression means for the global field and what other countries can learn from it• Why Dr. Stewart believes ketamine is not just a treatment but the infrastructure that will determine how ready clinical and public health systems are when psilocybin, MDMA, and other psychedelic medicines arrive• His honest reflection on why this work is worth it, including what it feels like to shift from focusing on the quantity of life in the ER to focusing on the quality of life in ketamine therapyEpisode 62 show notes:00:00:00 Teaser: "Once somebody says, 'I'm alive today because of this treatment,' you can't not do it."00:00:24 Episode Introduction00:02:19 Sam Welcomes Dr. Lowan Stewart00:02:53 Background Overview: Emergency Medicine, Norway, and the Journey to Ketamine00:08:56 Why Neuroscience: Starting an MD-PhD and the Rat Brains Advice00:10:09 From Space Medicine Dreams to Emergency Medicine Reality00:12:14 The Decision Point: Going Away from EM or Toward Something New?00:15:37 Opening the First Ketamine Clinic in New Mexico: What the Ketamine World Looked Like in 201600:17:55 Bringing Ketamine to Norway: Opening Axon Clinic in 201800:20:06 Approaching the Norwegian Psychiatric Association and Health Department with the Data00:26:40 Psychiatrist Skepticism: "I Don't Know What to Do with These Patients If They're Fine"00:28:29 The Formal Complaint from the Norwegian Psychiatric Association00:31:23 Establishing the First Public Ketamine Treatment Unit in Scandinavia00:34:34 Axon Clinic's Acquisition by Awaken Life Sciences and the Ukraine War Impact00:40:18 Norway's Landmark Approval: National Public Reimbursement for Off-Label Ketamine00:44:20 The Multi-Site RCT Strategy: Implementing Ketamine Across Ten Major Norwegian Hospitals00:50:17 Why Ketamine Gets Overlooked at Psychedelic Conferences and Why That Needs to Change00:55:14 One Piece of Advice for Any EM Physician or Clinician Considering This Pivot00:58:34 Rapid-Fire Questions00:59:07 How Dr. Stewart De-Stresses: Cold Ocean Swims and Sauna in Norway01:02:17 How to Connect with Dr. Lowan Stewart01:04:03 Episode EndingThanks for listeningConnect with Dr. Stewart at:Clinic Website - Axonklinikken http://axon.no/ Email: lowan@axon.noLinkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/lowan-stewart-27349616/

What happens when years of eating disorder treatment reduce symptoms but never fully address the trauma underneath? In this episode of the Dr. Marianne-Land Podcast, I welcome Jennifer Lancaster, LCSW, for a conversation about complex trauma treatment for eating disorders, including the role of EMDR therapy, ketamine-assisted psychotherapy (KAP), attachment trauma, nervous system healing, and shame recovery. Whether you're recovering from anorexia, bulimia, ARFID, binge eating disorder, or another eating disorder, understanding the connection between trauma and eating disorders can open new possibilities for healing. Jennifer is a licensed clinical social worker and founder of Houston Healing Collective. Drawing on more than a decade of experience treating eating disorders and complex trauma, she explains why many clients arrive after years of therapy saying they understand why they struggle but still feel trapped in the same patterns. We discuss how trauma-informed treatment can move beyond symptom management by addressing the underlying experiences that shaped the nervous system in the first place. Why Complex Trauma Often Fuels Eating Disorders Complex trauma is not always one catastrophic event. It can develop through repeated experiences of emotional neglect, attachment disruptions, chronic criticism, unsafe relationships, community violence, poverty, or growing up without feeling consistently seen, safe, or emotionally supported. Jennifer shares how her own experiences and years of clinical work helped her recognize that many eating disorders function as adaptive responses to unresolved trauma rather than isolated illnesses. We also discuss why many people in eating disorder recovery become frustrated when treatment focuses primarily on changing behaviors without creating space to process traumatic experiences. Although symptom stabilization remains important, Jennifer explains why many clients eventually seek treatment that addresses the deeper emotional wounds beneath restrictive eating, binge eating, purging, or other eating disorder symptoms. EMDR Therapy for Trauma and Eating Disorders Jennifer explains how she integrates EMDR therapy into eating disorder treatment. She discusses the importance of building trust, strengthening nervous system regulation, assessing readiness, and helping clients expand their window of tolerance before trauma reprocessing begins. She also describes how EMDR allows people to process traumatic memories without needing to repeatedly tell every painful detail, making the work feel more manageable for many survivors of complex trauma. Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy Explained If you've been curious about ketamine-assisted therapy for PTSD, trauma, or eating disorders, Jennifer offers an accessible explanation of how this treatment works. She discusses why ketamine differs from traditional psychiatric medications, how it may temporarily increase neuroplasticity, and why those changes can create opportunities for deeper therapeutic work. We also talk about the brain's default mode network, rigid thinking patterns, and why many people experience new perspectives during treatment that previously felt impossible to access. One of the most important messages in this episode is that ketamine itself is not the treatment. Jennifer emphasizes that preparation, psychotherapy, and thoughtful integration before and after medicine sessions are what help lasting healing occur. Rather than replacing therapy, ketamine-assisted psychotherapy works alongside trauma-focused treatment approaches like EMDR and other evidence-informed therapies. Healing Shame Through Safe Relationships Jennifer also shares her own experience receiving ketamine-assisted therapy and how it transformed her relationship with shame. She describes participating in a therapeutic group experience where she felt safe enough to openly share parts of her story for the first time. That experience inspired her to develop group ketamine retreats because she witnessed how healing can deepen when people experience connection, compassionate witnessing, and emotional safety alongside trauma treatment. Our conversation also explores why shame often survives in isolation but begins to loosen when people experience safe therapeutic relationships. Whether treatment happens individually or in a carefully facilitated group setting, safety remains the foundation of meaningful trauma recovery. Who Should Listen This episode is for adults recovering from anorexia, bulimia, ARFID, binge eating disorder, or other eating disorders. It is also valuable for parents, caregivers, therapists, dietitians, physicians, and other healthcare professionals who want a deeper understanding of complex trauma, EMDR therapy, ketamine-assisted psychotherapy, PTSD, attachment trauma, and trauma-informed eating disorder treatment. In This Episode Jennifer explains how complex trauma contributes to eating disorders, why attachment wounds often remain hidden beneath eating disorder symptoms, how EMDR therapy helps people process traumatic memories, what ketamine-assisted psychotherapy actually involves, why preparation and integration matter just as much as the medicine itself, how neuroplasticity may support healing, why shame often decreases through safe therapeutic relationships, and how trauma-informed care can help people move beyond surviving toward genuine recovery. Content Cautions This episode includes discussion of eating disorders, anorexia, bulimia, ARFID, PTSD, complex trauma, childhood adversity, attachment trauma, emotional neglect, shame, poverty, community violence, psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy, and ketamine-assisted therapy.

This episode of NDS Chronicles brings together listener-submitted paranormal testimonies involving mantis beings, demonic attacks, haunted houses, shadow people, spiritual warfare, and possible divine intervention. The Raven is joined by Matthew from Straight Bible as they examine each encounter through a Christian worldview while mixing serious Biblical discernment with trademark NDS humor.The first testimony follows Dallas Spitfire through a disturbing relationship that escalates from gaslighting and violent behavior to revelations about a haunted house, shadow people, a flying Batman figure, occult coloring imagery, and a Medusa-like interdimensional demon he first encountered as a child. The conversation also explores marriage, divorce, relationship red flags, polyamory, spiritual oppression, and the danger of ignoring patterns that point toward demonic influence.Next, a listener describes using ketamine, Molly, meditation, alchemical imagery, and undefined spirituality before experiencing a terrifying demonic manifestation. The hosts explain why Eastern-style meditation, astral projection, New Age practices, and praying to an undefined “god” can open dangerous spiritual doors.Another testimony recounts hearing his mother's voice call him out from beneath a car seconds before the jack collapsed. The event is compared with Samuel hearing God through the voice of Eli in 1 Samuel 3, raising questions about divine protection and how God may communicate.HGTV Holly then shares a chilling account of tinnitus, whispering voices, mysterious spiritual “downloads,” thyroid cancer, and the sudden end of the activity after surgery. The episode closes with a sleep paralysis encounter involving a tall mantis being, an astral body, Reiki, temporary supernatural healing, familiar spirits, and the Biblical interpretation of so-called alien entities.Which testimony stood out most to you? Do mantis beings, shadow people, and New Age entities represent different phenomena—or the same demonic deception wearing different masks?

In this episode of the Prolonged Field Care Podcast, Dennis sits down with J.R. Pickett — unpack the controversial and high-stakes topic of what used to be called excited delirium.They dig into the history of the syndrome (Bell's mania, acute exhaustive mania, agitated delirium), why major organizations including ACEP, ACMT, and the National Association of Medical Examiners have rejected the term, and the preferred modern language: hyperactive delirium with severe agitation. The conversation covers real-world presentation, the physiologic cascade that can lead to sudden cardiovascular collapse, the critical differences between a contained hospital environment and the uncontrolled street or austere setting, and the hard lessons from the Elijah McClain case.J.R. walks through practical decision-making for EMS and tactical medics: when de-escalation is possible, when sedation becomes necessary, why intramuscular ketamine remains the most forgiving and rapid option for the violently agitated patient, how to prepare for the predictable risks (brief apnea, loss of airway protection, metabolic derangement), and why continuous medical eyes-on monitoring after sedation is non-negotiable. They also address the dangerous intersection of law enforcement and medical care, the myth of “if they can talk they can breathe,” and the growing criminalization of medical decision-making that threatens providers' willingness to engage.Key TakeawaysThe condition is a true medical emergency with historically high mortality, even without restraint or intervention.Engagement ability is a practical field litmus test: if the patient cannot be redirected or answer basic questions, rapid intervention is usually required.Ketamine's wide therapeutic index and rapid IM onset make it the preferred agent for violent agitation when IV access is impossible — but it is not risk-free.Sedation is a procedure. Have airway equipment, monitors, and a clear team plan ready before the drug is given. Continuous medical provider eyes-on is mandatory in the early phase.“If you can talk, you can breathe” is dangerous teaching. Treat complaints of inability to breathe seriously.Noble intent + thorough preparation is the best defense against both bad outcomes and the growing criminalization of medical care.Chapters02:45 – What is (or was) excited delirium?

In this Soundbite from the Vault, we're revisiting a carefully selected segment from a live conference presentation we gave to a room full of ketamine therapy specialists, walking through the exact marketing framework we've built and refined over the years.Not familiar with our Soundbites from the Vault? These are shorter, standalone segments from earlier episodes that we think are worth revisiting: easy to digest and immediately relevant to your practice.This one is a little different from our typical guest interviews. It's practical, visual, and built for providers who are doing their own marketing, outsourcing it, or using AI tools to help, and who want to understand the thinking behind it all. Because the framework matters regardless of who's doing the work.We cover the full ACC model: awareness, consideration, and conversion, breaking down exactly where every marketing effort you're making fits inside it. Then we get into organic content, what it actually is, how to create it sustainably without burning out, and our Venn diagram approach to figuring out what to talk about in the first place. And if you stay to the end, you'll hear why your clinic's online presence may be one of its most important vital signs.If your marketing has ever felt scattered, reactive, or disconnected from any real goal, this framework gives you the language and the structure to change that.What You'll Gain:· A clear understanding of the medical marketing funnel and how every marketing effort you make maps to one of its three layers: awareness, consideration, or conversion· The ACC framework explained through a relatable analogy that makes the patient journey easy to visualize and remember· A practical Venn diagram approach for figuring out what content to actually create, where what your patients want to know meets what is authentic to you· A simple content creation system that turns one video into a blog, social media posts, and micro content across platforms· Why your clinic's online presence is one of its most telling vital signs, and what asystole, bradycardia, and atrial fibrillation have to do with your Instagram accountEpisode 61 show notes:00:00:00 Teaser: "What you want to be is in normal sinus rhythm…"00:00:19 Episode Introduction00:01:43 What Is the Medical Marketing Funnel and Why Should You Care?00:02:08 The ACC Framework: Awareness, Consideration, and Conversion Explained00:02:35 Awareness: How Patients First Discover You and What Content Helps Them Find You00:03:45 Consideration: Why Patients Compare Their Options and How to Stand Out00:04:24 Conversion: Making It Easy and Frictionless for Patients to Say Yes00:05:13 Want More Patients?

127. Psilocybin for Anorexia: Inside UCSF's TrialDr. Amanda Downey on UCSF's psilocybin trial for anorexia, why caregivers enroll, and what the medicine can and can't reach in eating disorders.Episode SummaryEating disorders are the deadliest psychiatric illness we have. Someone in the United States dies of one every 52 seconds, and two of every three people who get conventional treatment never fully recover. Anorexia nervosa has had no new FDA-approved treatment since the 1990s. That is the ground this conversation stands on, and it is why I sat down with Dr. Amanda Downey at Town Hall Seattle. Dr. Downey is a pediatrician and psychiatrist at UCSF and a lead investigator on an active Phase 2 trial studying psilocybin for anorexia in young adults. We talk about why her trial enrolls caregivers as participants, what psilocybin might reach that decades of treatment have not, and where the science is still honestly uncertain. This one is close to me. I recovered from anorexia myself, and I know how little the map has changed.

Ted...Crack...Ketamine...

Mark Michaels doesn't enter life quietly — he arrives through a literal test tube birth, grows up with a brain wired for rebellion, and finds his voice in the raw electricity of punk rock. In this conversation, he opens the door to the parts of his story most people never hear: the science experiment origin, the years of feeling like an outsider, the bands that shaped his worldview, and the therapy that finally helped him stitch all those jagged edges into something whole.This episode is loud, honest, and human. Mark talks about how punk gave him a language for anger and identity, how therapy gave him tools to survive the fallout, and how he's learned to live with the strange mix of biology and chaos that made him who he is. It's part origin story, part emotional excavation, part celebration of the misfits who find their way anyway.Mark Michaels's SitesWebsite: https://markamichaels.com/Publication: Binaries, Multitudes, and Beyond: A Client-Authored Case Study in Psychedelic-Assisted Therapy, Artificial Intelligence, and Narrative Agency - https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=6317678Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/mark.a.michaelsInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/markamichaels/Researchgate: https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Mark-MichaelsOTR Sites:Podcast Website: https://bobadleman.wixsite.com/otrmentalhealthBlog: https://realplus.bearblog.dev/otr-lies-from-the-tablecloth/Public Square Community Ko-Fi.com/otrachieving Mail: OvertheRainbowbob@gmail.comFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/otrachievingmentalhealhfrInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/over_the_rainbow_achievingX: https://twitter.com/overtherain1bowYouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UChEYTddPDUaiZbFliit1r5QLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/robert-adleman/This podcast uses the following third-party services for analysis: Podder - https://www.podderapp.com/privacy-policyPodtrac - https://analytics.podtrac.com/privacy-policy-gdrp

This week, Aebhric is joined by Fred, who has spent almost four and a half years working in military and military-adjacent medicine in Ukraine, primarily on the forward line of troops (FLOT), with additional experience at casualty collection points and stabilisation points. In this episode, he and Aebhric trace how combat casualty care has changed since 2022: evacuation timelines have stretched from minutes to weeks, wounding patterns have shifted as troop formations disperse to avoid drone strikes, and medics on the ground are being asked to deliver prolonged field care (PFC) far beyond their training. The conversation covers current combat wound pack medications, the phase-out of nalbuphine, tramadol's hepatotoxicity risk in dehydrated patients, the training gap between CLS/CMC-qualified providers, and the disease and non-battle injury (DNBI) burden from leptospirosis to Lyme disease to anthrax that frontline medics are managing largely on their own.Chapters00:00 – Introduction and guest welcome01:00 – Four years of medical experience on the Ukrainian front02:00 – How drone warfare has changed casualty patterns03:10 – Evolution of TCCC and prolonged evacuation04:20 – Changes to battlefield medications and analgesia06:00 – Ketamine, morphine and tramadol in prolonged casualty care08:00 – The challenge of prolonged pain management09:15 – Nerve blocks and expanding combat medic skills10:15 – Closing the knowledge gap for frontline medics12:00 – Self-directed learning and educational resources13:15 – Current medical training available in Ukraine15:00 – Could prolonged casualty care become a formal certification?16:00 – A day in the life of a frontline combat medic18:15 – Drone casualty evacuation: promise and limitations20:00 – What knowledge do combat medics really need?22:00 – Disease, dehydration and prolonged field medicine23:20 – Final advice for new austere medical providersEvolving battlefield medicine. Evacuation that once happened within minutes from positions near the front now can take weeks, driven by pervasive drone surveillance and strike capability. Mass casualty incidents near the front line have become less common as units disperse, changing the injury and casualty flow medics have to plan for.Training and knowledge gaps. There's a wide spread in provider background — from Ukrainian feldshers (registered-nurse equivalent) to personnel who completed a seven-day CMC course — all filling the same frontline medic role. Nerve blocks beyond digital blocks aren't commonly taught. Fred argues CMC training was never meant to stand alone; it assumes a prior EMT-level foundation that many providers don't have. Training availability is inconsistent and largely filled by NGOs of varying quality, with NAMT/CLS/CMC certification currently the closest thing to a standard.Evacuation reality on the ground. Getting to a casualty may take hours to days depending on drone "weather windows." Waits of 30–60 days for evacuation are not unheard of. As a result, stabilisation points are increasingly seeing patients who would survive regardless of intervention, rather than the critical mid-triage-category patients medics are most needed for. Ground evacuation drones (UGVs) are seeing real use but only for stable patients, since medics can't manage an airway or maintain a sedated patient during transit; aerial casualty evacuation is currently considered infeasible due to drone threats.Disease and non-battle injury (DNBI). Fred and Aebhric discuss the need for a Ukraine-specific DNBI framework and better environmental/threat updates reaching medics in the field.Closing advice. Fred's advice for new medics, nurses, and physicians entering austere medicine: keep learning and keep developing — people are counting on you to do your job well.

If there's anything the dumb, rich guys who are ruling our society are good at, it's taking something cool or interesting & sucking the absolute life out it.

One honest conversation could save someone's life.In this episode of Girls Gone Gritty, Farley and Jennifer take on a hard but necessary topic: the changing drug landscape and why parents, teens, college students, and adults need to stay alert. They talk about how today's drugs can look harmless, smell sweet, or hide in familiar forms like pills, powders, drinks, gummies, and gas station products. From fentanyl and pink cocaine to GHB, ketamine, MDMA, Kratom, spice, and other dangerous substances, the hosts explain why “just trying it once” is no longer a casual risk.The biggest takeaway is clear: talk to your kids early, often, and honestly. Ask what they have seen. Teach them about peer pressure, party safety, social media exposure, and why they should never trust an unknown pill, drink, powder, or product. This episode is not about fear for fear's sake. It is about awareness, protection, and having gritty conversations before the world has them first.Episode Highlights:(0:00) Intro(2:44) Top three current events and Supreme Court discussions(10:44) Why today's drug risks feel more dangerous for this generation(12:09) Fentanyl, opioids, and why one exposure can be deadly(14:55) Pink cocaine, ketamine, MDMA, and misleading packaging(16:09) “Go fish” parties and prescription pills from medicine cabinets(17:31) Ketamine, Special K, and the danger of K-holes(18:31) GHB, party settings, and odorless substances(22:13) Talking to kids about peer pressure and social media exposure(23:26) Gas station drugs, Kratom, Phenibut, and legal gray areas(27:08) Spice, fake weed, vaping, and synthetic substances(28:30) Scopolamine, “devil's breath,” and personal safety awareness(31:08) Questions parents should ask their kids about drugs(33:11) Why gritty conversations can protect families(33:41) Got Grit Award: FEMA Urban Search and Rescue Task Force(35:33) Song of the week: “Into the Fire” by Bruce Springsteen(36:42) OutroSend us Fan MailSupport the showFollow us:Web: https://girlsgonegritty.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/girlsgonegritty/More ways to find us: https://linktr.ee/girlsgonegritty

In this episode, Chad and Natalie sit down with John Nettles for an unfiltered conversation about addiction, recovery, identity, and finding hope after years of chaos.John shares his journey from being adopted and discovering his biological family years later, to a decade-long battle with alcoholism, cocaine addiction, prescription Xanax dependence, and the nightlife lifestyle as a DJ and concert promoter. He opens up about multiple treatment attempts, legal trouble, blackouts, near-death experiences, and the emotional toll addiction took on both him and the people who loved him.The turning point came when one phone call challenged everything John thought he knew about sobriety, leading him to discover the difference between simply being abstinent and truly living in recovery.#TheHopeaholics #redemption #recovery #AlcoholAddiction #AddictionRecovery #wedorecover #SobrietyJourney #MyStory #Hope #wedorecover #treatmentcenter #natalieevamarieJoin our patreon to get access to an EXTRA EPISODE every week of ‘Off the Record', exclusive content, a thriving recovery community, and opportunities to be featured on the podcast. https://patreon.com/TheHopeaholics Go to www.Wolfpak.com today and support our sponsors.

126. Psychedelics & Addiction: What the Research ShowsAddiction psychiatrist Dr. Nathan Sackett on psilocybin, ibogaine, MDMA, ketamine, and what psychedelic-assisted therapy can and cannot do for substance use disorder.Episode SummaryThe conversation about psychedelics as addiction treatment is moving faster than the research. Dr. Nathan Sackett is trying to close that gap. Founding director of the Center for Novel Therapeutics at the University of Washington, Sackett is an addiction psychiatrist who still sees patients — which matters, because every study his center runs is rooted in clinical reality, not advocacy optics. In this live recording from the Psychedelic Salon at Town Hall Seattle, we cover what the evidence actually supports, what compounds carry genuine risk, and why the most important variable in treatment outcomes may not be the drug at all. If you've been following psychedelic news and want a clearer picture of what's real, this is the conversation.

This episode features Paul Krauss, MA, LPC, in conversation with Los Angeles-based psychiatrist Dr. Mark Hrymoc about what actually works in addiction treatment. In this episode, they explore holistic approaches to treating addiction, person-centered counseling, and harm-reduction practices, while examining the intersection of addiction and mental health, common misconceptions about substance use disorders, innovations in psychopharmacology, the role of ketamine therapy and other emerging treatments in psychiatry, and how understanding the brain's function can reshape our view of recovery. Included in this conversation: Motivational Interviewing, The Adolescent Community Reinforcement Approach (A-CRA), Person-Centered approaches to Counseling and Psychiatry, the current research regarding Alcohol use, the accessibility and marketing of the alcohol industry, reasons for developing an addiction, how to get help with addictions, etc.  Dr. Mark Hrymoc, MD is a double board-certified psychiatrist in General Psychiatry and Addiction Psychiatry, and an expert in the psychopharmacology of addiction and other mental health disorders. Based in Los Angeles and affiliated with Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, he leads an outpatient practice focused on the medical treatment of addiction and co-occurring disorders, including detoxification, psychiatric medication management, and ketamine-assisted therapies for mood and trauma-related conditions.

What does it look like to build a Direct Primary Care practice that protects your health as fiercely as it protects your patients? In this episode of My DPC Story, Dr. April Soto of Love and Light Integrative Medicine in South Pasadena, California shares how she systematically exited corporate medicine over three years and built an integrative DPC practice rooted in authenticity, boundaries, and healing.After more than a decade in fee-for-service family medicine and infectious disease, including HIV care, Dr. Soto completed an integrative medicine fellowship, trained in ketamine-assisted therapy, and opened a micropractice designed around her own capacity as a physician living with chronic illness and mast cell activation syndrome (MCAS). Today she receives MCAS referrals from specialists across the country and offers ketamine journeys, transgender care for patients from age three to eighty, and deeply unhurried visits that can run four hours.In this conversation, Dr. Soto and host Dr. Maryal Concepcion discuss:Why she left corporate medicine and how she planned her three-year exitFacing fears around money, homelessness, and financial security before opening a DPCPricing as a quality-based practice instead of competing on discountsWhat she learned from giving too many discounts in year oneHow her assistant Natalie supports meet and greets, workflows, and boundariesBuilding an inclusive practice for LGBTQIA+ patients, immigrant communities, and neurodivergent patientsCaring for patients afraid to seek care because of ICE enforcementMCAS diagnosis, testing pitfalls, and why these patients need a different kind of visitKetamine-assisted therapy pricing, informed consent, and managing patient expectationsBurnout, trauma as a superpower, and why inclusivity has to include the physicianHer five-year vision: wellness contracts, motivational speaking, and growing her teamWhether you are planning your DPC launch or working to make your existing practice more sustainable, this episode is a masterclass in valuing yourself, honoring your capacity, and practicing medicine on your own terms.Learn more about Dr. April Soto at Love and Light Integrative Medicine in South Pasadena, CA.Visit mydpcstory.com for the free 90-Day Startup Checklist, the Physician Owner's Planner, and DPC tools for every stage.

PATREON IS HERE: www.patreon.com/dopeypodcast This week on Dopey! We kick things off with the aftermath of the first-ever Dopey Short Recovery Film Festival—Dave's post-event crash, gratitude, Knicks withdrawal, listener emails, Dean Moda Patreon comments, meth-sex insanity, Monkey Man research, and a wild voicemail about shooting someone up for the first time. Then Dr. Reef Karim comes on! They explore why Dopey works as an underdog podcast, creativity in recovery, building an addiction treatment center that blended psychiatry with spirituality, and why storytelling may be one of the most powerful recovery tools available. Reef opens up about walking away from a successful career in medicine after severe burnout, chronic pain, and anxiety led him to question everything. That journey eventually took him into the Amazon with Gabor Maté for an unforgettable ayahuasca retreat, where he experienced terrifying visions, confronted years of accumulated trauma, and ultimately found a new direction for his life. Dave and Reef also dive into ketamine, ibogaine, psychedelics in addiction treatment, authenticity versus attachment, cognitive flexibility, recovery as a lifelong process, and whether there's ever such a thing as being "fully recovered." Plus Dave closes the show with updates on the family road trip, DopeyCon planning, Safe Spot overdose prevention, and more. ALL THAT AND MORE!

Nichole Duncan used to be a tennis pro and now she's a forensic psychic medium who works cold cases for local law enforcement and federal agencies, the kind of work where the FBI will use what she finds but will never say her name out loud in court.She walks through her first real cold case (a domestic violence victim who "came through like a stinking freight train" with the exact location and evidence of her own murder), how a mentor who used to find Soviet submarines for the U.S. government during the Cold War took her under her wing, and what it's actually like doing readings for people who can never officially admit they called her. Then the conversation turns to veterans, PTSD, and why they think ibogaine and ketamine therapy done right are doing more for guys the VA couldn't fix than another bag of pills ever did. #TheHopeaholics #redemption #recovery #AlcoholAddiction #AddictionRecovery #wedorecover #SobrietyJourney #MyStory #Hope #wedorecover #treatmentcenter #natalieevamarieJoin our patreon to get access to an EXTRA EPISODE every week of ‘Off the Record', exclusive content, a thriving recovery community, and opportunities to be featured on the podcast. https://patreon.com/TheHopeaholics Go to www.Wolfpak.com today and support our sponsors.

In this episode of the Psychedelic Medicine Podcast, Dori Lewis, MA, MEd, LPC-S returns to discuss the differences between psilocybin and ketamine. Dori is the Clinical Director of Elemental Psychedelics and Owner/Operator of Reflective Healing in Fort Collins Colorado. As a clinician, she blends transpersonal psychology, depth work, and psychedelic-assisted therapy within a model that centers the therapeutic relationship. To date, she has stewarded over 100 ketamine therapy sessions, more than 200 mushroom sessions, and numerous group ceremonies. In this conversation, Dori explores how clinicians and facilitators can thoughtfully decide when ketamine or psilocybin may be the more appropriate therapeutic option, emphasizing that the two medicines are complementary rather than competing approaches. She explains how factors such as current medications, trauma history, substance use, prior experience with altered states, therapeutic readiness, and available social support all shape this decision. Throughout the discussion, Dori argues that ketamine often serves as an accessible and effective introduction to psychedelic-assisted therapy, while psilocybin may be especially valuable for addressing grief, attachment and religious trauma, and deeper existential questions when paired with sufficient preparation, integration, and a strong therapeutic relationship.   In this episode, you'll hear: Why ketamine is often recommended before psilocybin for people new to psychedelic therapy How SSRIs and other medications influence the choice between ketamine and psilocybin What personal history, symptoms, and therapeutic readiness clinicians should evaluate before recommending either medicine Which conditions and life experiences may be particularly well-suited for psilocybin-assisted therapy, including grief, attachment trauma, and existential distress How cannabis use, substance use disorders, and suicidal ideation can affect treatment planning Why community support, integration resources, and a trusting relationship with a facilitator are critical for successful psychedelic experiences The importance of cultivating self-awareness before engaging in psychedelic-assisted therapy   Quotes: "How do we help somebody who is on these [SSRI] medications, has been on them for a really long time and is actually doing well with them? The answer is not to get someone to stop taking their meds just to have a psilocybin experience. That's actually really reckless, in my opinion. What I would say is, why don't we start with ketamine and see how that affects you." [7:59] "There's another important piece here: What [does the patient] want? If this person says, 'Dori, I really don't want to do ketamine. I want to work with a plant medicine. That's what I'm feeling really called to.' I might say, 'okay, then let's explore that.' But if they're open [to either], I might say, 'why don't we start with [ketamine]?'" [15:50] "There are very few cases that I would say, 'don't start with ketamine' unless somebody says 'I've already done ketamine' … or they say 'I don't want to do ketamine' but in most cases I'm going to recommend just start with ketamine" [23:05]   Links: Dori on LinkedIn  Elemental Psychedelics website Elemental Psychedelics on LinkedIn Reflective Healing website Reflective Healing on LinkedIn Reflective Healing on Instagram Fireside Project website Previous episode: Common Psilocybin Myths & Misconceptions with Dori Lewis, LPC Previous episode: How Psychedelics & Pharmaceuticals Can Both Aid Healing with Erica Zelfand, ND Psychedelic Medicine Association Porangui

S-Ketamine is now part of the TCCC pharmacopeia; you'd better understand how to use it. Dennis sits down with Pat — a veteran military anesthetist, former Danish Special Operations medical leader, and decades-long ketamine expert — for a deep dive into S-Ketamine. From its development and real-world use in austere environments (including Afghan war wounded and British Field Hospital MERT ops) to practical dosing, side effect management, and why it outperforms morphine in many trauma scenarios, this conversation delivers battle-tested wisdom for medics, PAs, nurses, and SOF operators.Pat shares hands-on lessons from hospital, military, and austere settings: achieving the "thousand-yard stare," managing emergence phenomena, combining with regional anesthesia, IM/IN/rectal routes, and why ketamine shines for hemodynamically unstable patients, refractory asthma, and more. They also discuss training pitfalls, the value of hands-on experience (including vet collaboration ideas), and cultural differences in patient responses.Key Takeaways:S-Ketamine is roughly twice as potent as racemic ketamine — use ~half the dose, but expect the same onset, duration, and side-effect profile (with potentially milder psych effects at mid-doses).Excellent for analgesia and procedural sedation in austere settings; superior hemodynamic stability compared to opioids in hypovolemic trauma patients.S-Ketamine is now included in the 2026 TCCC updates — critical knowledge for every combat medic and austere provider.Practical tips: titrate slowly IV, watch for nystagmus/thousand-yard stare, prepare for emergence with low-dose midazolam + patience, consider regional blocks to reduce opioid needs.Training emphasis: objective endpoints, patient monitoring, planning for side effects, and real-world experience over rote memorization.Whether you're running a prolonged field care scenario, managing a screaming femur fracture, or preparing for the next deployment, this episode arms you with actionable strategies.Subscribe, share with your team, and visit prolongedfieldcare.org for free resources, downloads, and more.

Ketamine Therapy, MDMA, Psilocybin, and the Science of Psychedelic Assisted Healing Most people struggling with depression, anxiety, and trauma have never felt safe in their nervous system, and the treatments they have been prescribed are making that worse. This episode breaks down the neuroscience of psychedelic therapy, why ketamine is the safest and most accessible starting point, how MDMA triggers a BDNF dependent pathway that repairs trauma all the way down to the epigenetic code, and why your antidepressant may be blocking the very brain states required for real healing. -Watch this episode on YouTube for the full video experience: https://www.youtube.com/@DaveAspreyBPR -Order Dr. Rabin's Book ‘A Simple Guide to Being Alive': https://apolloneuro.com/pages/a-simple-guide-to-being-alive Host Dave Asprey sits down with Dr. Dave Rabin, MD, PhD, a senior research scientist at the Florida Institute for Human and Machine Cognition, Executive Director of The Board of Medicine, and co-founder and Chief Medical Officer of Apollo Neuroscience. Dr. Rabin received his MD and PhD in neuroscience from Albany Medical College and specialized in psychiatry at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center. He has spent 20 years studying chronic stress and non-invasive therapies for treatment-resistant illness, and his primary research on MDMA assisted therapy for severe PTSD has demonstrated that trauma can be reversed at the epigenetic level, offering a genuine path to a cure. His upcoming book A Simple Guide to Being Alive publishes June 1, 2026 and is a science-backed manual for anyone who has ever felt overwhelmed by the modern world. Dave and Dr. Rabin break down why nearly 50% of people prescribed psychiatric medication never achieve remission, why SSRIs and SNRIs physically block the brain states required for emotional healing, and why the FDA rejected MDMA therapy after three trials showed an 88% response rate. They dig into the exact BDNF pathway that makes MDMA and ketamine so transformative, how psychedelics amplify safety learning in the amygdala at the molecular level, and why trauma passes down up to 14 generations through epigenetic code that can now be measured and repaired. They also cover why your breathing rate at the doctor's office is already a stress signal nobody is reading, how your smartphone puts your nervous system into a chronic fear state before you even get out of bed, and why ketamine is the right starting point for anyone curious about psychedelic therapy right now. You'll Learn: Why nearly 50% of psychiatric patients never get better and what treatment-resistant actually means How ketamine therapy works, why it is legal in every state, and why it is the safest place to start The exact BDNF pathway through which MDMA repairs fear extinction in the amygdala How MDMA assisted therapy produces measurable epigenetic repair of the cortisol receptor gene damaged by trauma Why SSRIs and SNRIs block the insula mediated brain states required for real emotional healing Why combining serotonergic psychedelics with SSRIs puts you at risk of life-threatening serotonin syndrome Why trauma passes down up to 14 generations and what you can do to stop the cycle now Why smartphones put your nervous system into a toxic overstimulation state before the day even starts How the FDA rejected MDMA therapy after 88% of patients responded and who paid to make that happen Thank you to our sponsors! - Qualia | If you want to take the guesswork out of maintaining high NAD+ levels as you age, go to www.qualialife.com/daveNAD to get clinically proven Qualia NAD+ backed by a 100 day money back guarantee and code DAVENAD at checkout gets you an extra 15% off. - iRestore | Reverse hair loss at www.irestore.com/DAVE and get exclusive savings on the iRestore Elite, use code DAVE - OneSkin | For a limited time, try OneSkin with 15% off at oneskin.co/DAVE. - LMNT | Right now you can get a free 8-count Sample Pack of LMNT's most popular drink mix flavors with any purchase at drinkLMNT.com/dave Dave Asprey is a four-time New York Times bestselling author, founder of Bulletproof Coffee, and the father of biohacking.

Jasveen Sangha was seated at the breakfast table the morning of October 29th, 2023, when a headline flashed across the TV that would turn her glamorous world of privilege upside-down, Former “Friends” star Matthew Perry found dead at his Pacific Palisades home.  A lump formed in her throat. Only days before she'd supplied someone connected to the actor 25 vials of liquid ketamine, enough to comatose an African elephant. She typed in a quick Google search: “Can ketamine be blamed for causing death?” Any hope she had that the story would simply fade away was quickly dashed. Despite his well-publicized struggle with drugs and alcohol, Perry, 54, was still worth millions and a legion of “Friends” fans demanded to know who was responsible for giving “Chandler” his fatal dose. In the months that followed, police arrested five individuals for having a hand in Perry's tragic demise. It wasn't a set of the usual suspects. Two physicians, a rehab counselor, the actor's live-in assistant, and an international, jet-setting socialite authorities dubbed “The Ketamine Queen” were among those arrested in connection with Perry's death.

Stephanie Thaler has lived many lives in one. She survived thyroid cancer at 18, gained 60 pounds during radiation treatment while being isolated in a hospital with zero human contact, and came out the other side with a calling — massage therapy. What followed was 28 years of relentless learning, Guinness World Record-breaking fitness (715 burpees in 60 minutes), becoming the massage therapist for the Minnesota Vikings and the 2022 US Women's Olympic Hockey Team, founding the first barefoot massage school in Minnesota, and becoming the highest-paid manual therapist in her state through a technique called adhesion release methods — a specialized approach to releasing nerve entrapments that only 50 practitioners worldwide are certified in. In this conversation with Freddie, Stephanie breaks down what adhesions actually are, why nerve entrapment goes undetected on MRIs and gets dismissed by conventional medicine, how she's getting results in four to six sessions for people who have been in chronic pain for years, and what the difference is between radial and focused shockwave therapy when treating specific nerve pathways. The second half of this episode goes somewhere deeply personal. Stephanie shares that her father died by suicide on Thanksgiving when she was five years old — and that she spent the next 38 years living in a state of chronic fight or flight, cycling through every SSRI, CBT protocol, and alternative therapy available, never finding lasting relief. Until ketamine. In two weeks of six IV sessions, she healed more trauma than 18 years of cognitive behavioral therapy ever touched. Her father came to her in session. God held her. And she came out glowing. She now does at-home ketamine therapy three to five days a week and credits it with putting her depression into remission and fueling the most successful chapter of her career. This is an honest, science-grounded, spiritually rich conversation about healing the body and the nervous system from the inside out — and what becomes possible when you finally feel safe.

Three new GLP-1 studies, why every food is suddenly "high protein," the Bethenny Frankel shoe drama blowing up Instagram, and why I'm on a ketamine table as you listen. Three new studies just shifted the GLP-1 conversation, and not in the direction women have been hearing about. Chalene digs into what's actually happening to muscle and bone density, why the rebound after coming off matters more than anyone's talking about, and the three questions every woman on Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro, or Zepbound should bring to her next doctor's appointment. She also gets into why every grocery aisle suddenly screams "high protein," and why this whole moment is starting to feel suspiciously like the Snackwell cookie era. There's a simple protein target that works without tracking macros, and Chalene walks through how she's using it. Then she breaks down the Bethenny Frankel shoe drama that took over Instagram this week. What the shoe brand founder got wrong, what Bethenny got wrong, and the rules of brand partnerships that almost nobody outside the influencer world understands. Finally, a personal update. As you're listening to this, Chalene is on the table for another medically supervised ketamine treatment with Dr. Andrew Levinson. She shares why she went back for a third session, what the last journey taught her about control, and who this kind of work is really for.
