Prendergast's decades of experience as a psychotherapist and spiritual teacher, the area of the body that's most difficult for people to connect with—given our survival fear and trauma—is our physical and energetic ground. In his work, he finds this area in the lower belly and at the base of the spine remains largely unconscious and deeply defended by most individuals, while most spiritual traditions tend to avoid or undervalue the opening of the ground. * However, with the correct understanding and quality of attention, we can consciously open our multidimensional ground and, as a result, experience a felt-sense of inner safety and stability that supports the full flowering of inner peace, freedom, and loving awareness—a truly embodied spirituality. * In this episode, Dr. Prendergast is joined in a conversation with CIIS core faculty in the graduate department of East-West Psychology Dr. Sara Max Granovetter that dives deep into our personal, archetypal, and universal ground. Sharing insights from his years working in sensing and inquiry practices as well as his latest book, Your Deepest Ground, Dr. Prendergast explains how we can begin to see through the false ground of our early conditioning and limited identity. * This episode was recorded during an in-person and live streamed event at California Institute of Integral Studies on May 29th, 2025.

Ketogenic therapy for mental illness is gaining attention, with more and more patients looking to incorporate this strategy into their care plan.The problem is that sometimes patients struggle to find providers to help them and providers often lack the expertise and confidence to prescribe this strategy.These issues led to a light bulb moment for Dr. Kelly, “We've got to capacity build, we have to figure this out.”In this interview, Dr. Bret Scher speaks with Deanna Kelly, PharmD, internationally recognized for her work in schizophrenia, psychiatric pharmacology, and metabolic health, who is now pioneering an innovative project of her own called Live it, Launch it.This first-of-its-kind study is Dr. Kelly's brainchild, designed to train clinicians through direct experience in an effort to increase clinical expertise in metabolic and ketogenic therapies.

Send us a textPsychedelics are in the spotlight. Some call them dangerous, others call them life-saving, and many believe they could reshape the future of mental health care. In this episode, Dr. Eeks talks with Martín Polanco MD, founder of The Mission Within Foundation and considered the most experienced ibogaine and 5-MeO-DMT physician in North America. Over the past 25 years, he has treated more than 5,000 people — including over 1,300 veterans and special operators — giving him unmatched clinical credibility in a field often clouded by hype, controversy, and hope.Dr. Polanco shares his perspective on why veterans and frontline workers struggling with overlapping mental health challenges — PTSD, addiction, depression, traumatic brain injury — are increasingly turning to these psychedelic medicines when conventional options fall short.This episode covers:What ibogaine and 5-MeO-DMT are, how they work in the brain, and what sets them apart from other psychedelics.Why mental health conditions rarely show up one at a time, and how these medicines may help with complex, co-occurring issues.How Dr. Polanco's center guides people through treatment, integration, and long-term support — and why integration is just as important as the medicine itself.Results in veterans and first responders: what's been seen, how long benefits last, and the factors that sustain recovery.The real risks, especially cardiac risks, and the safety protocols in place to minimize them.Misconceptions about psychedelic therapy and where skepticism is justified.The launch of the Mission Within Foundation, which has already raised over $2 million to provide psychedelic therapy scholarships for veterans and first responders.Why partnerships with institutions like UT Austin Dell Medical School are critical for building a scientific evidence base and wider acceptance.And finally: whether ibogaine and 5-MeO-DMT are ready for mainstream mental health care, or if the science still needs to catch up.This is a candid conversation about possibility, risk, and the urgent need for new tools in mental health.You can contact Dr. Eeks at bloomingwellness.com.Follow Eeks on Instagram here.Or Facebook here.Or X.On Youtube.Or TikTok.SUBSCRIBE to her monthly newsletter here!

Mental health issues like depression and anxiety are widespread across the globe. In the U.S. alone, nearly one in five adults is affected by mental illness each year Magnesium plays a central role in brain function, mood regulation, and stress response; deficiency is common and linked to anxiety, depression, poor sleep, and cognitive decline Vitamin D directly influences brain chemistry and inflammation, supports dopamine production, and is frequently low in individuals with mood disorders These two nutrients work synergistically. Magnesium activates vitamin D, while vitamin D enhances magnesium absorption; co-supplementation provides greater mental health benefits than either alone The best way to increase vitamin D is through regular midday sun exposure, while magnesium is increased through supplementation with well-absorbed forms like glycinate, malate, or L-threonate

We are living in a world where the depths of division, violence, and destruction can no longer be ignored. Escalated forms of harm require an equally escalated response. Yet social movements often use tactics that tend to escalate an “us vs. them,” “right vs. wrong” worldview not conducive to healing. Activist, trainer, and practitioner of nonviolence and restorative justice Kazu Haga argues this binary worldview is at the heart of what is destroying both our relationships and our planet. If healing is our goal, we need social movements that center relationships. * In this episode, Kazu is joined by Assistant Professor at California Institute of Integral Studies in the Somatic Psychology Department Deanna Jimenez for an inspiring conversation exploring insights from his decades of work in restorative justice and from his latest book Fierce Vulnerability. Kazu invites you to mobilize the power to stop harm by cultivating love to heal it. * This episode was recorded during an in-person and live streamed event at California Institute of Integral Studies on May 8th, 2025.

A second investigation by Disability Rights California (DRC) has once again revealed inhumane conditions at a southern California ICE detention center imprisoning immigrants. The facility is called Adelanto Detention Center and is owned and operated by a private company: The GEO Group. DRC investigators found the following conditions: Inadequate Access to Medical and Mental Health Care and Disability Accommodations Inadequate Access to Food, Water, and Clothes Limited Connections with Family and Natural Supports This investigation comes at a time when ICE faces mounting accusations of mismanaging detention facilities, contracting with private operators that cut corners, and wrongfully detaining many immigrants — including some U.S. citizens. Joining us to shed light on the investigation is DRC attorney Adeyinka Glover, formerly a Clients' Rights Advocate for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities. Adeyinka has also fought for housing rights, protection from domestic violence, guardianships, and environmental justice in the Central Valley. Her career is fueled by the belief that high-quality legal advocacy can help underserved populations including individuals, families, and communities not just survive, but thrive. Adeyinka holds a J.D. from Thomas Jefferson School of Law and a B.A. in Political Science with a minor in Africana Studies from San Diego State University. When she's not in the fight for justice, she enjoys traveling and exploring art in all its forms. This program is produced and hosted by Eddie Ytuarte.

Show Notes:Humans are not machines, so why do we treat ourselves like we are?In this episode, Eddie and Chris are joined by Dr. Warren Kinghorn, a psychiatrist who focuses on a more holistic approach to mental health, and health in general. Warren looks beyond merely reducing or eliminating the symptoms, because we aren't machines. We are beings who need nurture and care and love. He believes that being in community with one another and walking alongside each other in our struggles plays a significant role in caring for our hurting neighbors. Christian community can offer support in ways that help us to know and to affirm the truth of God's love, even in moments when we might not have the capacity to feel that love.Warren is the Esther Colliflower Professor of the Practice of Pastoral and Moral Theology at Duke University as well as the co-director of the Theology, Medicine, and Culture Initiative at Duke. He is also a staff psychiatrist at the Durham VA Medical Center.Resources:Buy Wayfaring: A Christian Approach to Mental Health Care

This is the CIIS Public Programs Podcast, featuring talks and conversations recorded live by California Institute of Integral Studies, a non-profit university located in San Francisco on unceded Ramaytush Ohlone Land. * Shaped by her own experience with the death of her father and her time co-founding The Dinner Party, a leading peer-support organization for people who've experienced a major loss, author facilitator Carla Fernandez's work pushes back on the death-denying culture we live in. For too long, grief has been treated as something pitiable, simply sad, to be gotten over as soon as possible. But after 15 years of being in a community with fellow grievers, Carla has witnessed a different side of the story. * In this episode, Carla is joined by licensed marriage and family therapist and CIIS Associate Professor in Community Mental Health Gary Quan for a conversation viewing significant loss not as something to be swept under the rug, but an experience to be held with respect, a creative spirit, and with friends. Drawing from her work and her latest book, Renegade Grief, Carla shares inspiring stories of real grievers, patterns from across history, and fresh science. * This episode was recorded during a live online event on April 23rd, 2025.

In the heart of the Shenandoah Valley, a beacon of hope and health shines for thousands of residents—regardless of their income, insurance status, or background. Shenandoah Community Health, a federally qualified health center with locations in Martinsburg and Winchester, is redefining what it means to provide accessible, compassionate care to the community. During a recent conversation on "The Valley Today," host Janet Michael sat down with Bradley Kirkland, the center's marketing manager, to discuss the vital role community health centers play in the region. As National Health Center Week approaches, Kirkland shared insights into the center's origins, its comprehensive range of services, and the unique challenges faced by the populations it serves. Founded as a migrant healthcare center during Lyndon Johnson's War on Poverty, Shenandoah Community Health has grown to offer a full spectrum of primary care for adults and children, women's health, behavioral health, and even in-house pharmacies with discounted medications. “We're a patient-centered medical home,” Kirkland explained, “which means we can take care of all your primary care needs in one place.” The center's sliding fee scale ensures that no one is turned away, and those without insurance or with high deductibles can still access quality care without the fear of crippling medical debt. But the center's impact goes beyond medical services. With a focus on case management, Shenandoah Community Health helps patients navigate follow-up appointments, specialist referrals, and the often-overwhelming healthcare system. “It's a team effort,” Kirkland emphasized, “to look after their health and see their whole journey.” Community partnerships are at the heart of the center's mission. Collaborations with local nonprofits, churches, and healthcare organizations amplify their reach and effectiveness, especially during events like National Health Center Week. This year's celebration includes staff appreciation cookouts, patient appreciation days with goodie bags and educational materials, and special displays highlighting the struggles of the homeless and underserved. The week culminates in partner appreciation, recognizing the unsung heroes who support the center's work. For many in the Valley, Shenandoah Community Health is more than a clinic—it's a lifeline. As Kirkland put it, “We're here for our community, and we want everyone to know they're welcome.” Whether you're a busy parent, a farmworker, or someone struggling to make ends meet, the doors at Shenandoah Community Health are always open, offering not just healthcare, but hope and dignity for all.

Send us a textModern medicine rests on a centuries‑old decision to split mind from body. That fault line still runs through every clinic and classroom, raising an uncomfortable question: if the foundation ignores half of human experience, how scientific are we really? In this episode, Dr Eeks talks with physician‑author Dr Robert Smith about why his new book Has Medicine Lost Its Mind? argues it is time to reunite what never should have been divided. What We CoverThe Great Split: A medieval Church decree let scientists dissect bodies but barred them from the head, setting up the mental‑vs‑physical divide that still guides clinical practice.Primary‑Care Patchwork: Family doctors now manage roughly 75 percent of U.S. mental‑health care despite minimal formal training in mental health.Medicalizing Real‑Life Messes: Trauma, chronic stress, and tough social conditions often get reframed as diseases because the system lacks better options.The “Complex” Patient Label: How “complex” often translates to “we're overwhelmed and don't know what's really wrong.”Culture on Autopilot: Rituals, hierarchy, and resistance to change can block genuine healing even when evidence points elsewhere.A Way Forward: The biopsychosocial model that addresses lab values and life stories—and what it would take for mainstream medicine to embrace it.If you have ever felt that your doctor's office visit left half of you outside the exam room, press play and join the conversation about what real, whole‑person healthcare could look like. Dr. Robert C. Smith is a nationally acclaimed authority on evidence‑based mental health care and doctor–patient communication. A University Distinguished Professor of Medicine and Psychiatry at Michigan State University, he pioneered the first patient‑centered training approach that teaches clinicians how to forge strong, collaborative relationships with their patients. His contributions have earned him numerous honors, including Master status from the American College of Physicians and the prestigious George Engel Award for Outstanding Research. Dr. Smith has authored more than 150 peer‑reviewed articles and continues to garner hundreds of academic citations each year. His expertise has been featured in outlets such as The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, and The Today Show, and he writes regularly for Psychology Today. You can contact Dr. Eeks at bloomingwellness.com.Follow Eeks on Instagram here.Or Facebook here.Or X.On Youtube.Or TikTok.SUBSCRIBE to her monthly newsletter here!

Internal medicine physician and author Robert C. Smith discusses his article, "Medicine's mental health crisis: why the system is failing us." He reveals the shocking disparity in care, where only 25 percent of patients with mental illness receive any treatment compared to 70 percent for physical conditions. This crisis, Robert explains, stems from a fundamental failure in medical training: primary care clinicians handle over 75 percent of mental health cases but receive only 2 percent of their training in this area. The conversation delves into the historical roots of this neglect, citing the centuries-old "mind-body split," and argues that medicine continues to ignore the scientifically superior and integrative biopsychosocial model. Ultimately, Robert issues a powerful call to action for the public to become informed and demand political change, drawing parallels to successful citizen-led movements that mandated seat belts and banned harmful chemicals, offering listeners a clear path to help reform our nation's approach to mental health care.

The discussion highlights how young people are already taking the lead in normalizing mental health conversations, building culturally relevant digital tools, and advocating for their peers. This episode serves as a call to action for health care systems to invite young people to the table not as future leaders, but as current, essential voices who can help build a more inclusive, responsive, and compassionate future for all.
