The Grimerica Show

Interview starts at 27:10   The neuroscience of spiritual awakening, how Kundalini yoga shaped her life, and why she believes listening inward is especially important in a time of cultural confusion. She also explains how her work in geriatric psychiatry connects spirituality, brain health, stress regulation, and prevention strategies for aging populations. Helen Lavretsky, MD, MS, is a Professor In-Residence in the Department of Psychiatry at UCLA (Semel Institute for Neuroscience and Human Behavior), a leading geriatric integrative psychiatrist, and a pioneer in mind-body approaches to late-life mental health. https://drhelenlavretsky.com/book/living-from-the-soul/ https://drhelenlavretsky.com/about/   In this episode: Dr. Helen Lavretsky shares her unusual path from the former Soviet Union into psychiatry, neuroscience, and later Kundalini yoga teacher training. She explains how growing up in an atheist Soviet environment still left room for underground spirituality passed through families and oral tradition. She describes a six-month temporary enlightenment experience after Kundalini practice and why it was physically intense, hard to describe, and initially unsustainable. The conversation focuses on her book Living from the Soul and the idea that people are increasingly being pushed to trust their own wisdom instead of outside authorities. She discusses how spirituality shows up in geriatric psychiatry, especially for older adults, dementia caregivers, and long COVID patients dealing with mortality and stress. She argues that meditation, breathing practices, yoga, tai chi, and qigong can improve self-regulation, brain health, and decision-making under pressure. She outlines how brain health should be cultivated across the lifespan, starting in childhood and even in utero, rather than only addressed later in life. She notes that lifestyle factors such as sleep, movement, diet, and stress management matter for dementia prevention and broader cognitive resilience. She emphasizes that meaning, purpose, and connection to soul are central to mental well-being. Key frameworks: Soul-based self-inquiry- asking inwardly what is right for you rather than defaulting to external authority Brain health across the lifespan- prevention beginning in childhood and even before birth Stress self-regulation toolkit- breathing, meditation, yoga, tai chi, and qigong as practical nervous-system supports Constitutional approach to diet- different people may need different foods based on ancestry, metabolism, and predisposition   Become a Lord or Lady with 1k donations over time.

Já pensou na possibilidade de que o próprio sistema de publicação e financiamento de pesquisas científicas tenha criado um viés em que as demandas dos pacientes mais graves sejam negligenciadas? No episódio 361 falamos sobre como o sistema de cuidado tende a privilegiar pacientes mais bem articulados e com quadros mais leves, enquanto os casos graves competem por recursos cada vez mais escassos. No episódio 362 exploro a hipótese de que o mesmo mecanismo se repete na pesquisa em psiquiatria. Usando dados sobre o financiamento do NIMH e um estudo sueco de priorização de perguntas de pesquisa feito com pacientes, familiares e clínicos, discuto como a agenda científica também tem seus “temas preferidos”, e o que isso significa para quem trata pacientes com transtornos mentais graves.

New evidence from the first-ever RCT shows ketogenic therapy can rapidly improve metabolic health in schizophrenia-spectrum and bipolar I disorders, and shows early signals of psychiatric improvement.In this video, Dr. Bret Scher breaks down this newly published study led by Dr. Judith Ford at UCSF: the first randomized controlled trial with peer-reviewed results investigating ketogenic therapy in people with schizophrenia-spectrum disorders and bipolar-1 disorder with psychotic features.You'll learn:How the study was designed (a 1-month randomized phase plus an optional 3-4 month single-arm extension)What happened in the first 30 days (clear improvements in metabolic markers; psychiatric outcomes showed trends that did not reach statistical significance in the randomized portion)What improved over longer follow-up in the extension phase (encouraging changes in metabolic health, cognition, and psychiatric measures)Why this matters for patients and families today, and what future, longer controlled trials need to confirmPublished in Schizophrenia Bulletin and funded by the NIMH and Baszucki Group, this study adds to the growing literature on the potential benefit of ketogenic therapy for psychiatric disorders.These results indicate the need for larger, extended randomized controlled trials to test the safety and efficacy of ketogenic therapy in patients living with serious mental illness.

The Pencil Pushers podcast interviews stop-motion animator/director Justin Rasch, who has worked for 30 years across games, TV, and film, including ParaNorman, Kubo and the Two Strings, and Guillermo del Toro's Oscar-winning Pinocchio, and now directs/writes/supervises at Stump Puppet Pictures while sharing process online. Rasch recounts growing up in Florida inspired by comics, classic cartoons, Secret of NIMH, and practical effects artists, studying 2D and effects at the Art Institute of Pittsburgh, then switching to CG after Jurassic Park. He describes breaking in by portfolio-hunting in 1990s LA, choosing Konami, and later leading animation at Luxoflux on projects like Shrek and True Crime: Streets of LA. Rasch explains how animation principles transfer across 2D/CG/stop motion, details his stop-motion workflow (blocking, shooting on twos, then final on ones), discusses why stop motion is hard to "control," and reflects on AI, audience interest in process, and working with Travis Knight and del Toro. He shares where to find him on Instagram and YouTube.

In this episode of the Hugonauts we're breaking down what truly defines great Young Adult fiction and answering the ultimate question: do these books actually hold up when you read them for the first time as an adult? We look at the core guidelines of YA literature—from exploring the human condition through a young protagonist's eyes to (ideally) teaching profound stuff that resonates beyond teenhood.  We count down the absolute best YA sci-fi books and YA fantasy recommendations. We dive into legendary dystopian hits like The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins and Ready Player One by Ernest Cline, masterclass sci-fi like Ender's Game by Orson Scott Card and Red Rising by Pierce Brown, and classic fantasy staples like Harry Potter by J.K. Rowling, J.R.R. Tolkien's The Hobbit, Philip Pullman's The Golden Compass, and C.S. Lewis's The Chronicles of Narnia. But we don't just look at the masterpieces.  We also separate the true YA novels from books that are actually meant for middle-grade kids (like The Giver, Redwall, and The Phantom Tollbooth). Finally, we tackle the controversial "duds" of the genre. Why are massive bestsellers like The Maze Runner, Divergent, and Scythe so incredibly popular, and why did they fall totally flat for us?

If you have ever felt like a failure because the "evidence-based" protocol didn't fix you, or if you are a clinician feeling the crushing weight of a system that rewards compliance over competence—this episode is your validation. The wall is hollow. The science has become science-flavored capitalism. But the real work is still happening in the cracks of the system, in the rooms where two human beings are brave enough to put down the worksheets and simply look at each other. "The way a profession defends a failed paradigm against its own data is the same way a patient defends a failed self-image against their own felt experience." In the explosive penultimate episode of Psychotherapy on the Couch, Joel takes a magnifying glass to the single greatest crisis of modern American psychiatry: the moment the apparatus proved its own foundation was a lie, and then decided to just keep building on it anyway. This episode dives deep into the STAR*D study—a $35 million federal initiative designed to prove the medication-first paradigm worked. It didn't. But instead of changing course, the industry buried the data, ignored the severe suicidality rates, and proceeded to build decades of clinical guidelines on a fiction. This isn't just a story about bad science; it's a clinical case study in institutional dissociation. When the cold machine looks in the mirror and sees a monster, it doesn't change—it just shatters the glass.

We synthesize Aftab's pragmatic perspective with long-standing critiques from Allen Frances (chair of the DSM-IV task force), the NIMH's shift to the Research Domain Criteria (RDoC) project under Thomas Insel, and decades of research on comorbidity, symptom heterogeneity, and diagnostic instability.

On September 13, 1979, animators Don Bluth, Gary Goldman and John Pomeroy left the feature animation department at Walt Disney Productions to set up their own independent animation studio. Their first feature, directed by Bluth, was based on the 1971 children's book Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of NIMH by Robert C. O'Brien. The book had originally been rejected by their former employer as "too dark" to be a commercial success. Bluth and Co. were followed soon after by twenty other Disney animators, dubbed "The Disney Defectors" by the trade press. The House of Mouse endured a "Dark Age," with flops like 1985's The Black Cauldron, while Bluth went on to direct hits like An American Tale, The Land Before Time, and All Dogs Go to Heaven. But the film that started it all, an adaptation of that book Disney rejected, was beloved by critics - even if it may have emotionally scarred a generation of children.

In July 1979, Jimmy Carter went to Camp David for ten days and came back with the strangest speech a sitting American president has ever given. Officially it was about energy. Functionally it was about the soul. Eighteen months later, Ronald Reagan won forty-four states by promising the opposite, and American psychology received its marching orders for the next forty years. This episode traces how the apparatus got built. From Mario Savio's "put your bodies upon the gears" speech in 1964 to the dispersal of the counterculture into yuppies, Silicon Valley engineers, Lockheed contractors, oil-patch roughnecks, and the back-to-the-land movement that eventually curdled into the survivalist pipeline. From David Rosenhan's fraudulent 1973 study "On Being Sane in Insane Places" to Robert Spitzer's typewriter parties at Columbia, where two new psychiatric disorders could be drafted between cups of coffee. From the Feighner Criteria and the St. Louis Group to the Medicare Resource-Based Relative Value Scale and the RUC, the secret AMA committee that sets the prices of every medical procedure in the country while the nation tells itself it has a free market. From the academic capture of CBT and the manualization of what could be measured to Allen Frances spending his retirement trying to take back what he had built. At the heart of it sits the bet the field made and lost. For thirty years, American psychiatry wagered its entire diagnostic edifice on the assumption that biological validation was imminent, that the genes and the imaging and the neurotransmitter chemistry would arrive in time to retroactively justify the DSM. Twenty billion dollars later, NIMH director Thomas Insel posted a blog three weeks before the DSM-5 shipped admitting the categories were not scientifically valid. He later told Wired he had funded a lot of cool papers and not moved the needle on suicide, hospitalization, or recovery for tens of millions of Americans. The cathedral had been built on a foundation that turned out not to exist, and the surrounding infrastructure had become too entangled with it to demolish. This is the story of how a profession built to listen to suffering became a wall that suffering speaks into. Diagnosis as checkbox, payment as procedural code, research as citation farming, and the Sherman Antitrust Act ensuring that the only people who could fix any of it, the frontline clinicians, are forbidden by federal law from organizing the way that would give them leverage.

We get practical about what actually helps: rebuilding stability at home with consistent sleep and routines, taking one small step at a time, and returning first to safe communities that supported you before things fell apart. We also share a simple but powerful tool for anxiety and PTSD style distress: bring a “safety buddy,” have permission to step out, and design your environment so your nervous system can calm down instead of going into high alert.We also dig into the social side of recovery: judgment, gossip, and the pressure to make everything go back to how it was. We reflect on scripts for awkward questions, what it means to make amends without demanding forgiveness, and why compassion and encouragement can keep someone moving forward when shame tries to pull them under.

Welcome to PsychEd, the psychiatry podcast for medical learners, by medical learners. This is our second book club episode centered around the novel Healing: Our Path from Mental Illness to Mental Health by Thomas Insel, MD.This book is a part memoir / part manifesto written by one of our generation's most important leaders in neuroscience and psychiatry, Dr. Thomas Insel. Dr. Insel served as the director of the NIMH for 13 years from 2002-2015. Healing is replete with his reflections on personal and clinical experiences as well as epidemiological data, research, and policies related to mental health. Dr. Insel argues that medicine's failure to significantly reduce the mortality and morbidity of psychiatric illnesses is less due to a lack of scientific progress, and more a result of poor implementation of existing interventions that are already well supported by the evidence.Guest: Dr. Thomas InselHosts: Dr. Gaurav Sharma - Staff psychiatrist working in Nunavut, CanadaDr. Kate Braithwaite - Family doctor from South AfricaAhmad Khan - MS4 at Western UniversityDr. Sophie Gregoire-Mitha - PGY1 Psychiatry resident in ManitobaAudio editing: Dr. Gaurav SharmaEpisode Evaluation: Dr. Angad SinghOur discussion is divided into 3 main sections:(2:48): Main themes from the book(15:58): Clinical application of strategies discussed in the book(41:30): Reflections on the book in the current Psychiatric landscapeFor more PsychEd, follow us on Instagram (@psyched.podcast), Facebook (PsychEd Podcast), X (@psychedpodcast), and Bluesky (@psychedpodcast.bsky.social‬).

Even a little Jewish mouse can have a huge impact on animation.The 1986 Don Bluth animated classic An American Tail, a film that became the highest-grossing non-Disney animated feature of its time and helped reshape the animation industry, is the first movie to celebrate this podcast's seventh birthday.The project began with a concept by David Kirschner that was first pitched to Jeffrey Katzenberg at Disney, but when it reached Steven Spielberg's Amblin Entertainment, the legendary director saw its potential as a feature film. Spielberg, making his first foray into animation, brought aboard Don Bluth, a former Disney animator whose 1982 film The Secret of NIMH had impressed him with its return to the lush, detailed style of classic Disney animation.The film's story held deep personal significance for Steven Spielberg. Fievel was named after Spielberg's grandfather's Yiddish name, and the narrative of Jewish immigration and escape from persecution in 1885 Russia drew directly from stories Spielberg had heard about his own family history.An American Tail doesn't shy away from the harsh realities of immigrant life in 1880s New York, either. The film portrays sweatshops, tenement poverty, political corruption, and exploitation, though it wraps these difficult themes in the accessible framework of a mouse family's journey to find each other in a new land.Don Bluth's unique animation style revolutionized the industry, proving that animation is a powerful medium for all ages, and should not be pigeonholed as just movies for children. An American Tail tackles serious themes like immigration, anti-Semitism and child slavery, making it relevant for audiences of all ages.An American Tail was a wake-up call for Disney, and the fact it beat (Basil) The Great Mouse Detective's box office takings, meant battle lines were drawn, and round one went to Bluth and Spielberg...Support Verbal DioramaLoved this episode?

In this Leo New Moon offering, I guide us through a grounding meditation for embodied health, tending to the heart, spine, and solar center of the body, all ruled by Leo. From this rooted place, we explore the potent cosmic currents surrounding this lunation: Mercury Retrograde invites deep reflection on self-expression and truth-telling, while Pluto in opposition to the New Moon stirs transformation through the mirror of relationships and power dynamics. We also attune to the slow-burning Saturn–Neptune conjunction, a long-term transit dissolving illusions while building new spiritual and creative structures. Together, we anchor into the present moment and reclaim the radiant courage to be fully, unapologetically ourselves.  Check out the new Cosmic Cousins Membership!! Leo New Moon Ritual:  Turn the volume up high and watch the music video for “Greatest Love of All” by Leo icon Whitney Houston.  Leo lyrics “I believe the children are our future,” “I decided long ago, never to walk in anyone's shadows,” and “learning to love yourself is the greatest love of all.” Let these words guide you home to your heart, your power, and your light. Then we are joined by beloved tarot teacher and soul sibling Lindsay Mack. Together, we explore the shift from Cancer's emotional depths into Leo's playful warmth, reflecting on how comfort, creativity, and chosen family show up through astrology and tarot. Lindsay opens up about her journey as a parent with a Leo Moon, recent health challenges, and the healing magic of ritual, morning sunshine chill time, and yes, haircuts. Our conversation also offers a deep dive into Lindsay's forthcoming Soul Tarot Deck and book (publishing May 19, 2026), sharing behind-the-scenes insight into the creation process. Tarot archetypes like Strength, Queen of Wands, and the Sun are illuminated through a Leo lens, alongside collective themes from the Hermit Year and upcoming Pluto-in-Aquarius transits. And finally, listeners are invited into joyful reflection, playful ritual, and pop-culture celebration, with film picks like What's Up, Doc? and The Secret of NIMH, to honor Leo's vibrant call to be seen, loved, and self-expressed. The episode closes with the heartfelt Leo affirmation: “You are enough as you are.”   Cosmic Cousins Links Intro & Outro Music by:  Felix III one-on-one mentorships Deep Dive Astrology Readings  Tarot Soul Journey  Cosmic Cousins Membership Community!!  Our first gathering, Astro Lounge, is in two weeks on the Aquarius Full Moon!
