In today's show, we interview Dr. Nick Marongiu. Nick owns and operates a very large, single-location multi-specialty practice in La Jolla California called Scripps Center for Dental Care. We learn about Nick's journey from Loma Linda, where he graduated in 2010 to stepping into a strong practice in 2013 as a partner and then doubling it by the time he purchased the remaining equity in 2019. With 11 operatories and 10 providers, many of who are specialists, it truly is run as a multi-specialty practice. Learn about how Nick branded his company separate from himself, how he's working into a position where leadership and management are even more important than his clinical production, and how he's created a purpose-driven practice built on detailed business processes.

Please take a listen to this informative interview with Dr Joe Tafur on the importance of psychedelics in healing trauma. This interview examines the potential of trauma in formulating epigenetic changes that manifest themselves in a variety of major chronic illnesses such as autoimmune disorders, chronic pain, migraines and fibromyalgia just to name a few. Dr Tafur is currently collaborating with the MAPS organization to study the effects of psychedelics in treating PTSD and their potential for reversing epigenetic changes. Few will have the same level of medical expertise and hands on knowledge of psychedelic medicine as Dr Tafur. He has observed first hand that modern medicine struggles with certain chronic health problems because of its failure to address the emotional and spiritual dimensions of these illnesses. Under the guidance of master shamans, he has learned about the importance of acknowledging the emotional body and its role in modern disease. Dr. Tafur has been an Integrative Medicine activist throughout his medical career, while in medical school at the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) School of Medicine, and during his Family Medicine Residency at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA). While a resident, he collaborated on research projects with the UCLA Center for East-West Medicine and the Scripps Center for Integrative Medicine. After residency, Dr. Tafur subsequently completed a two-year Post-Doctoral Research Fellowship at the UCSD Department of Psychiatry. Dr. Tafur is dedicated to education. In Peru, he learned how ayahuasca shamanism could be used to heal the body. At Nihue Rao Centro Espiritual, he supervised traditional education for allopathic as well as naturopathic medical students. He has lectured on his work in the community and has spoken at a number of conferences including the MAPS 2017 and MAPS 2013 Psychedelic Science Conferences, Plant Teachers 2015 Visionary Convergence, and presented his book at the ICEERS World Ayahuasca Conference. Dr. Tafur works as an allopathic physician in the United States and continues his bridgework through educational programs through Modern Spirit and the Modern Spirit Podcast.

After struggling through depression during medical school, Dr. Joseph Tafur was introduced to peyote by a friend who was researching psychedelics as a medical intervention. He reports that he quickly realized the connection between modern medical interventions, such as anti-depressants and psychedelics. In 2007 Dr. Tafur traveled to the Amazon and began his exploration of Ayahuasca and later began his training in Shipibo shamanism. Dr. Tafur's medical background and his training as a Shipibo shaman position him to articulately explain the Western understanding of this spiritually-based approach to healing. Dr. Tafur's book is full of case studies, and his use of these examples provide a first-hand account of what many know to be true: that many individuals do not feel adequately understood by the traditional western medicine. We discuss epigenetics, specifically how researchers are beginning to understand how trauma can be passed down from one generation to the other. We frame depression and other psychological issues as a disorder of the imagination, wherein the individual is cut off from their sense of creativity, and which cuts the individual off from imagining other possibilities in their life, and therefore they suffer under the burden of the discomfort and belief that change is not possible. Although Dr. Tafur can use modern medical language, he prefers to speak about love and broke-heartedness as it relates to what is missing in modern medicine. Bio: Dr. Tafur has been an Integrative Medicine activist throughout his medical career, while in medical school at the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) School of Medicine, and during his Family Medicine Residency at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA). He has collaborated on research projects with the UCLA Center for East-West Medicine and the Scripps Center for Integrative Medicine. After residency, Dr. Tafur subsequently completed a two-year Post-Doctoral Research Fellowship at the UCSD Department of Psychiatry under psychoneuroimmunology expert Dr. Paul Mills. While in San Diego, he also served on the board for the Alternative Healing Network and the Steering Committee for the UCSD Center for Integrative Medicine. Dr. Tafur is also dedicated to education. At Nihue Rao Centro Espiritual, Dr. Tafur supervised traditional training for allopathic medical students and medical student groups from the Southwestern College of Naturopathic Medicine and Bastyr College of Naturopathic Medicine. He has also worked as a professor for the Pacific College of Oriental Medicine's online doctoral program. He is now developing new educational programs for Modern Spirit. Since 2007, Dr. Tafur, a has been traveling to Peru to work with Traditional Amazonian Plant Medicine and to study with Master Shipibo Healers. He has completed his shamanic initiation under Maestro Ricardo Amaringo and worked alongside him for years in ayahuasca healing ceremony at Nihue Rao Centro Espiritual. Here in the United States, he is working to promote the value of spiritual healing in modern healthcare and to demonstrate the intersection between traditional healing and allopathic medicine .https://drjoetafur.com https://modernspirit.org Theme music provided by: http://www.modernnationsmusic.com Band of the week: Black Tie Dynasty Music page: https://www.facebook.com/blacktiedynasty/ https://itunes.apple.com/us/artist/black-tie-dynasty/41368471 Learn more about this project at: http://www.thesacredspeaks.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thesacredspeaks/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/thesacredspeaks Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thesacredspeaks/
