In the fifth episode of season 5, of Disruptors at Work: An Integrated Care Podcast, host Dr. Gayle Cordes, MBA, MC, DBH, faculty at Cummings Graduate Institute for Behavioral Health Studies (CGI), is joined by Dr. Jane Caplan, MD, for a conversation on the evolving role of ketamine-assisted therapy in behavioral health care. The discussion explores how ketamine-assisted therapy is being integrated into treatment for individuals experiencing complex mental health conditions, the importance of careful clinical oversight, and the opportunities and challenges providers face as these approaches become more widely discussed in healthcare settings.About the Podcast Guests:Dr. Gayle Cordes, MBA, MC, DBHFor nearly twenty years, I was a state-licensed psychotherapist and owner of an independent practice in Arizona, with specialty training and advanced certifications in trauma treatment therapies, including eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR). Along with my work in private practice, I served on staff at the 2012 launch of the University of Arizona Integrative Health Center in Phoenix, associated with Dr. Andrew Weil and the Arizona Center for Integrative Medicine, where I conducted an unpublished, retrospective study on the treatment effects of EMDR therapy on co-occurring anxiety and chronic medical conditions. Since 2018, I served on an EMDRIA Board task force charged with drafting guidelines for the delivery of EMDR therapy virtually as well as training therapists in EMDR therapy through distance learning. In 2022, that initiative developed into the inaugural EMDRIA Training Council, upon which I served as a member of the steering committee. Prior to my career in psychotherapy, as an MBA, I spent 25 years in the corporate sector; in the later years of that chapter, I served within the executive ranks of a Fortune 500 company. Since 2016, I have served on the graduate faculty of Cummings Institute for Behavioral Health Studies, where I developed a trauma specialty curriculum for the Doctor of Behavioral Health degree program.https://gaylecordes.com/ Dr. Jane Caplan, MDDr. Caplan's clinical and research philosophy is grounded in psychoneuroimmunology — the understanding that the mind, nervous system, and immune system operate as a unified whole. This lens informs her approach to psychedelic-assisted therapy, where she sees these medicines not merely as symptom treatments but as catalysts for deep systemic healing. She is the developer of a psychedelic clinician training program that merges Eastern contemplative practices with Western clinical frameworks, honoring both ancient wisdom and modern neuroscience. Her work sits at the frontier of what psychiatry can become when it takes into consideration the full complexity of human consciousness and healing.www.awarepsych.comwww.eastwestglobalhealing.org

Mental health is often treated like a guessing game, but what if we could actually see what's happening in the brain?In this episode, Dr. Steve Rondeau, founder of Axon EEG Solutions and author of Think Like a Brain, breaks down how brain-based data is changing the way we understand mental health, postpartum struggles, and behavior in both women and children.We dive into why traditional diagnoses often miss the root cause, how brain patterns shape your personality and responses, and why your environment plays a bigger role than you think. This conversation also explores a newly released study on hormonal birth control and antidepressant response, the concept of the “overwhelmed brain,” and how small shifts in your daily life can dramatically change your mental resilience.If you've ever felt like something is off but can't explain why, or wondered why one season of life feels manageable while another feels overwhelming, this episode will completely reframe how you think about your brain, your behavior, and your capacity.00:00 Intro 01:52 Why mental health is still a guessing game 03:40 The misdiagnosis that exposes a broken system 06:10 Can brain scans predict personality 09:30 Why people experience life differently 13:15 Birth control and antidepressant study 16:47 Why one-size-fits-all treatment fails 18:40 Why postpartum experiences vary 22:40 Your brain isn't broken your environment is 24:21 When symptoms don't match the diagnosis 26:40 The case that changed everything 29:10 Why root causes get missed 32:10 Are brain patterns genetic or learned 34:40 The 3 areas that shape mental health 37:40 Why you can't just push through 39:10 The overwhelmed brain pattern 42:10 The habit that regulates your nervous system 43:46 Why coping mechanisms make sense 46:40 Why normal brains don't exist 49:10 Parenting and relationships through this lens 53:10 What's normal behavior for kids 55:10 The parenting mistake most people make 58:10 Are screens rewiring our brains 61:10 How to find brain scan providers 73:31 Outro Resources From This Episode:Dr. Rondeau's Website - https://axoneegsolutions.com/Dr. Rondeau's Book: Think Like Brain Treating Manual - https://www.amazon.com/Think-Like-Brain-Treating-Manual-ebook/dp/B0GFXQK1DVFollow Dr. Steve Rondeau on Socials:Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/people/Dr-Steve-Rondeau/100068808602146/LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/dr-steven-rondeau-148aa421/Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/dr_rondeau_qeeg/Dr. Morgan's Pregnancy Call Lessons - https://milkmedicine.com/lessonsonly/Healthy As A Mother Podcast | YouTubeHealthy As A Mother Podcast | InstagramHealthy As A Mother Podcast | TikTokHealthy As A Mother Podcast | Merch StoreFind more from Dr. Leah:Dr. Leah Gordon | InstagramDr. Leah Gordon | WebsiteWomanhood Wellness | WebsiteFind more from Dr. Morgan:Dr. Morgan MacDermott | InstagramDr. Morgan MacDermott | WebsiteUse code HAAM and save 10% at FondUse code HEALTHYMOTHER and save 15% at RedmondFor 20% off your first order at Needed, use code HEALTHYMOTHERSave $260 at Lumebox, use code HEALTHYASAMOTHER
In this episode, Dr. John Schinnerer explores the fast-growing role of AI in mental health, emotional support, and men's wellbeing. Why are so many men opening up to chatbots about anger, anxiety, marriage struggles, loneliness, and shame before they'll talk to another human being? Is AI becoming a powerful new mental health tool—or a slick new way to avoid real vulnerability?Dr. John breaks down what AI can actually do for emotional health, where it can be helpful, and where it can go badly sideways. He explores emerging research on AI and wellbeing, why men may feel safer talking to machines than people, and the real risks of trusting a tool that sounds confident even when it's wrong.He also gives a behind-the-scenes look at The Evolved Caveman Inner Leadership AI Coach and explains why a psychologically designed AI coaching tool is very different from asking a generic chatbot to play therapist.If you've ever wondered whether AI can help with stress, anger, relationships, emotional intelligence, or mental health, this episode will help you separate what's useful from what's dangerous.1.

The latest report on Closing the Gap Targets, released last month, found just four of nineteen targets are on track. Among those targets Australia is failing to meet, the country is moving backward when it comes to reducing suicide rates for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, which are now more than three times higher than for non-Indigenous Australians.First Nations health advocates and practitioners are urgently calling for investment in new approaches to preventative mental health support that are led by First Nations wisdom and experience. SBS reporter Angelica Waite, has speaking with Clinton Schultz, a Gomeroi Gamilaroi man, and Director of First Nations Strategy and Partnerships with Black Dog Institute. For more than a decade, he's been a pioneering voice when it comes to finding new models for preventative care that reflect the depth, complexity and connectedness of First Nations ways of knowing, being and doing. She started by asking Mr Schultz how he came to study and work in the field of psychology.

What happened when his mind finally went quiet? And what does his story reveal about the dangers of how we label and treat human suffering today?A radically genuine conversation about ego, consciousness, and what mainstream psychology is missing.

In this episode, Dr. Sharon Niv discusses her work at Joyus, a public benefit company focused on revolutionizing mental health care through personalized at-home microdose ketamine treatments. Dr. Sharon explains the history of ketamine as a treatment for mental health, its mechanisms of action, and the importance of community support in the healing process. Nick asks Dr. Sharon questions that address common concerns and stigma surrounding ketamine treatment, emphasizing its low risk and potential benefits. Their conversation also explores the role of neuroplasticity in mental health recovery and the future of AI in therapy. Dr. Sharon provides insights into personalized treatment protocols and encourages both patients and therapists to consider the benefits of ketamine therapy. Key Takeaways: Dr. Sharon Niv is a cognitive psychologist bridging neuroscience and therapy. Joyus offers personalized at-home microdose ketamine treatments. Ketamine was first synthesized in the 1950s and is used safely in medical settings. The drug has shown promise in treating severe depression and suicidality. Ketamine works primarily on the glutamate system, unlike traditional psychedelics. Lower doses of ketamine can provide therapeutic benefits without destabilizing experiences. Community support is crucial for individuals undergoing ketamine treatment. Neuroplasticity allows the brain to change and adapt, which is enhanced by ketamine. Personalized treatment protocols are essential for effective ketamine therapy. AI has potential in mental health, but should not replace human therapists.

The psychedelic revolutionWill LSD, Psilocybin, MDMA, and Ketamine treatments live up to the hype?For decades, psychedelics were derided as dangerous recreational drugs; now many claim they have the potential to revolutionise the treatment of mental health. With hundreds of clinical trials now taking place, the psychedelic therapeutic market is predicted to be over ten billion within the decade. It has been widely thought that psychedelics are effective at treating mental health because of the way they change brain chemistry. But studies from King's College London and Johns Hopkins suggest this is an error, arguing that it's the psychedelic experience that aids mental wellbeing, not the physical brain changes.Should we stop focussing on brain chemistry as the solution to mental health? What is it about psychedelic experience that can aid mental well being and will psychedelics live up to their promise and usher in a mental health renaissance? Or is the hype bubble about to burst and should we look elsewhere for the silver bullet to the mental health crisis of our age?Matthew Johnson is Professor of Psychiatry and Behavioural Sciences at Johns Hopkins University. Shayla Love is a freelance reporter and former senior science writer at Vice News, focusing on psychedelics. Kevin Sabet is the founder of Smart Approaches to Marijuana, and he has been described as the "quarterback of the new anti-drug movement".Don't hesitate to email us at podcast@iai.tv with your thoughts or questions on the episode!To witness such debates live buy tickets for our upcoming festival: https://howthelightgetsin.org/festivals/And visit our website for many more articles, videos, and podcasts like this one: https://iai.tv/You can find everything we referenced here: https://linktr.ee/philosophyforourtimesSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

The FDA held a panel discussion on antidepressants used during pregnancy. I was one of the expert presenters, and what I witnessed should alarm anyone who cares about honest medicine. In this episode, I break down the mainstream media response and what they kept out: SSRIs cross the placenta, change fetal brain development, and there is no proof they work at all- let alone prevent postpartum depression. You'll also hear why this is bigger than one drug class. It's about a system that medicalizes emotions and protects profit over people. If you want the truth the headlines won't give you, start here.

Once paraded in the media as a hero, Dr. James Henry became the symbol of a “progressive” military—the first openly transgender active-duty officer. But the story the public saw was only part of the truth. In this episode, Dr. Henry shares what really happened behind the scenes. The early struggles with identity. The weight of religious shame. The celebration that came with transitioning—and the breakdown that followed. He opens up about being misdiagnosed, overmedicated, and failed by the very systems meant to protect him. Now, years later, Dr. Henry faces a federal indictment after a confrontation with the FBI. This is not a story of affirmation. It's a story of survival, betrayal, and the cost of speaking out.

I speak with sociologist Neil Gong about his book: Sons, Daughters, and Sidewalk Psychotics, which explores how mental health care in the U.S. is deeply shaped by class divides. We talk about the legacy of deinstitutionalization, how public systems rely on what he calls “tolerant containment” while elite institutions often impose surveillance and control, and the different ways each system can fail. Neil and I dig into housing-first programs, clinician burnout, and RFK's vision for therapeutic farms. We also unpack what Neil calls the “Frankenstein monster” created by the uneasy mix of civil libertarian ideals and austerity policies. The conversation ends with reflections on political education, peer-led alternatives, and how we can hold space for complex and even opposing perspectives in the fight for better mental health systems.In this episode we discuss:class comparisons in of Public vs. private mental health care models in Los AngelesHistory and impacts of deinstitutionalizationTolerant containment in public systems vs. surveillance in elite settingsWhat we can do to improve quality of careRFK's therapeutic farms and proposed health policiesThe need for peer support and user-led initiatives in mental health reformThe “Frankenstein” fusion of civil liberties and austerity politicsInstitutional harm reduction, defunding social programs and its potential backlashTeaching political educationBioNeil Gong is assistant professor of sociology at the University of California, San Diego.

Professor Jon Jureidini is a child psychiatrist who leads the Critical and Ethical Mental Health research group at Adelaide University in Australia. His forensic deconstruction of industry-sponsored clinical trials has exposed how pharmaceutical companies manipulate data, employ ghostwriters, and cultivate academic figureheads to create an illusion of scientific consensus around their products. Prof. Jureidini has revealed how medications prescribed to our most vulnerable populations—children and adolescents—gained approval based on studies that were fundamentally misrepresented in the scientific literature. In his groundbreaking book, 'The Illusion of Evidence-Based Medicine: Exposing the crisis of credibility in clinical research,' co-authored with Leemon McHenry, he systematically demonstrates how commercial interests have hijacked the evidence base that clinicians rely on, compromising patient care in the process. His work raises profound questions about the integrity of published research and challenges us to reconsider the foundations of modern medicine. Jureidini reveals shocking findings about the landmark 'Treatment of Adolescent Depression Study (TADS) study that's been used to justify prescribing antidepressants to teenagers—despite evidence showing a five-fold increase in suicidal events. With nearly 20% of adolescent girls now taking SSRIs, this conversation exposes the profit-driven deception that puts millions of developing brains at risk while pharmaceutical companies continue to thrive on what Jureidini calls "the illusion of evidence-based medicineChapters00:00 Introduction to the Crisis in Psychiatry02:20 The Illusion of Evidence-Based Medicine04:34 The TADS Study: A Closer Look10:47 Evaluating the TADS Study's Findings14:22 The Ethics of Informed Consent26:28 Risks and Alternatives in Treatment32:59 The Controversy of Antidepressant Prescriptions35:46 Ethical Concerns in Pharmaceutical Practices40:29 The Impact of Clinical Trials on Drug Approval47:08 Challenges in Psychiatric Research and Publication50:29 Restoring Trust in Scientific Integrity58:20 A Shift Towards Social Determinants of Mental Health RADICALLY GENUINE PODCASTDr. Roger McFillin / Radically Genuine WebsiteYouTube @RadicallyGenuineDr. Roger McFillin (@DrMcFillin) / XSubstack | Radically Genuine | Dr. Roger McFillinInstagram @radicallygenuineContact Radically GenuineConscious Clinician CollectivePLEASE SUPPORT OUR PARTNERS15% Off Pure Spectrum CBD (Code: RadicallyGenuine)10% off Lovetuner click here—-----------FREE DOWNLOAD!

Throughout a decade of making presentations, Helen and Valerie are often asked, “What can I do when my family member with mental health issues refuses treatment?” A tough situation and difficult to answer until they discovered “When a Family Member Refuses Mental Health Treatment.” They explore this groundbreaking book with co-author Gary Mitchell, a seasoned clinician, researcher and innovator in the mental health field. One of the basic premises is to shift focus from the member who is treat-resistant to the other family members who are seeking help with their own needs. To deal with their issues that can be improved upon, rather than accommodating and enabling their recalcitrant loved one. The end result can create a healthy, productive, healing environment for the entire family.

Dr. T and Truth Fairy welcome Greg Wrenn, a former Alabama state representative and long-time health policy advocate, who shares insights into how he became interested in the therapeutic use of psychedelics through personal research and professional exposure. Greg recently wrote a book called “Mothership” about coral reef research, ecological crisis, and his personal PTSD healing journey with ayahuasca. He discusses portions of the book and his experiences with Truth and Dr. T. Greg explores the growing interest in psychedelic-assisted therapy, particularly its potential to help individuals who struggle with mental health issues such as depression, anxiety, and PTSD. He addresses the shift from viewing psychedelics as taboo to recognizing their potential under controlled, clinical settings. His personal stories, alongside those shared by Truth, highlight the positive impact psychedelic therapy can have and how his passion for the issue has been fueled. Truth Fairy, Dr. T, and Greg share concerns about the challenges of implementing beneficial psychedelic healing sessions, and they celebrate Greg's integration of tribal and liberating dance into the ayahuasca ceremony. They talk about the importance of regulation, ethical safeguards, and integration of Indigenous practices, and caution against the risks of commercialization. The episode is both vulnerable and informative, painting a hopeful picture of potential healing even in the face of difficult times.“You know, I'm no psychedelic evangelist. I don't think everyone should drink ayahuasca or work with psychedelics. I know I should, I know I need to. And so this is really important for my mission, which is to, I guess, spread a message of love and spread a message of the possibility of planetary healing, because planetary healing happens, at least with humanity, one brain at a time.” - Greg Wrenn__About Greg Wrenn:A former Stegner Fellow and Jones Lecturer at Stanford University, GREG WRENN is the author of the ayahuasca eco-memoir Mothership: A Memoir of Wonder and Crisis, an evidence-based account of his turning to coral reefs and psychedelic plants to heal from childhood trauma, and Centaur (U of Wisconsin Press 2013), which National Book Award-winning poet Terrance Hayes awarded the Brittingham Prize. Greg's work has appeared or is forthcoming in HuffPost, The New Republic, Al Jazeera, The Rumpus, LitHub, Writer's Digest, Kenyon Review, New England Review, The Iowa Review, and elsewhere. He has received awards and fellowships from the James Merrill House, the Bread Loaf Writers' Conference, the Vermont Studio Center, the Poetry Society of America, the Hermitage Artist Retreat, the Virginia Center for the Creative Arts, and the Spiro Arts Center. On his Mothership book tour, he spoke to audiences around the world, including at Yale School of Medicine, the University of Utah School of Medicine, Vancouver Island University, and the University of Virginia School of Nursing. Greg has also been on numerous podcasts, including Levi Chambers's PRIDE, and was recently interviewed by Emmy Award-winning journalist Elizabeth Vargas on NewsNation and by Jane Garvey on Times Radio (UK).

He also teaches in the Memoir Certificate Program at Stanford Continuing Studies.

The number one struggle I hear from parents is, “My child won't accept help for their anxiety or OCD.” What are we supposed to do when anxiety or OCD has hijacked the house and everyone who inhabits it?Dr. Alec Pollard has dedicated his career and research to this very question. He is the co-developer of the Family Well-Being Approach (FWBA) and is the founding director of the Center for OCD & Anxiety-Related Disorders at Saint Louis Behavioral Medicine Institute, and professor emeritus of family and community medicine at Saint Louis University School of Medicine. He also happens to be one of my favorite researchers, as he has a down-to-earth way about explaining and helping families in need. He's also quite funny.In Dr. Pollard's new book, When a Loved One Won't Seek Mental Health Treatment, he offers family members a roadmap on how to get their life back while promoting their loved one's recovery.In this week's AT Parenting Survival Podcast I had the joy of sitting down with Dr. Pollard and exploring some of the key points in his approach outlined in his book. I know every parent will get some important takeaways from our discussion!
