This week on the Inside EMS podcast, Dr. Peter Antevy returns for another round in the hot seat, and he's not holding back. In this jam-packed episode, he and host Chris Cebollero tackle trending topics in prehospital care — from the expanding role of whole blood and plasma, to the frustrating gaps in the AHA's 2025 guidelines. You'll hear real-world success stories (like the cardiac arrest survivor who's back on the tennis court), why dual sequential defibrillation (DSD) should already be your go-to, and the cost-benefit realities of starting a whole blood program. Dr. Antevy also dives into the science behind glycocalyx damage and how plasma could change how we treat sepsis, TBI and burns in the field. Whether you're a medic, medical director or just passionate about pushing EMS forward, this episode delivers practical insight, bold opinions and a whole lot of inspiration. Quotable takeaways from Dr. Antevy “The medical establishment does not understand the value of what EMS brings to the table. They don't understand the complexity.” “When we said, ‘We'll do the whole blood,' what did the surgeons do? They went up in arms: ‘What do you mean you're giving whole blood? Bring them to us. We'll give the whole blood.' No, no, no. We are part of the chain of survival, too.” “EMS is a subspecialty in the house of medicine. We all need to rise up to make the hospital folks and the academics aware that EMS is important for trauma, for stroke, for pediatrics, for cardiac. We are the ones who can help bring up those outcomes and that's why I love this field.” Additional resources: AHA 2025 updates are here: Cue the overreactions and the protocol rewrites On-demand: Bringing whole blood to the front lines of EMS Stop the bleed, fill the tank – The New Orleans EMS blood program Whole blood in EMS promises a revolution in resuscitation Enjoying Inside EMS?

What happens when compassion, strength, and military medicine collide?In this Echo Episode, Dr. Andrea Austin speaks with Dr. Kat Landa, a Navy emergency physician whose career has taken her from a nontraditional path in medical school to a groundbreaking role as the first female battalion doctor assigned to a Marine Corps artillery unit.Kat recounts her childhood working in nursing homes, discovering medicine through geriatrics, and initially matching into family medicine before realizing her passion for emergency medicine. Her story takes a dramatic turn when she is unexpectedly assigned to 29 Palms as the first woman integrated into a previously all-male combat arms battalion—an environment shaped by intense hierarchy, alpha culture, and unspoken rules.She shares vividly, the shock of Marines lining up with “testicular pain” to see the new female doctor, navigating sexism, boundaries, and expectations to be the battalion's “warm fuzzy”, the emotional labor women physicians disproportionately shoulder, the traumatic burden many Marines carry through TBI, PTSD, and toxic norms, the deep meaning she found advocating for vulnerable service members—sometimes saving lives and how burnout, deployment, and personal crisis pushed her toward meditation and self-reclamation Dr. Landa's journey is raw, insightful, and deeply human, a reminder that leadership requires both backbone and heart, especially when systems aren't built with you in mind.You'll hear how they:Navigate gender bias and male-dominated culture while staying authenticBuild boundaries to survive overwhelming workloads and emotional laborUse compassion strategically—in 45-second doses—to transform patient interactionsAdvocate for Marines suffering from PTSD, TBI, and weight-related stigmaRecover from burnout through meditation, mindful routines, and self-care practicesFind strength in vulnerability and redefine what it means to lead in uniform If you've ever struggled to find your voice in a demanding system, this episode will move you, challenge you, and help you rediscover your center.About the Guest:“At your core, it's still just you—and you have control over you.” – Dr. Kat LandaDr. Kat Landa is a Navy emergency medicine physician whose career spans urgent care, family medicine internship, operational medicine with the Marine Corps, multiple deployments, and emergency department leadership.She was one of the first women assigned to a Marine Corps artillery battalion, where she learned to navigate gender dynamics, advocate for Marines suffering from invisible wounds, and lead with courage and compassion.Her interests include meditation, women's leadership, stress physiology, military wellness, and redefining what it means to thrive in demanding environments.

Five minutes after a tense goodbye, her phone rang. A stranger said her husband—an on-duty motor cop—was down. What followed is a raw, unfiltered journey through trauma, a broken workers' comp system, and the quiet heroism it takes to hold a family together when institutions look away.We walk you through the scene: a mangled bike, a hallway lined with uniforms, and the breath held until he wiggled his toes. The medical list runs long—shattered wrists, fractured vertebrae, TBI—but the emotional ledger is heavier: insomnia, anger, isolation, and a “brotherhood” that went silent the moment the badge came off. She became an advocate and an archivist, documenting everything while fighting denials and delays that turned healing into a second job.The crazy ups and downs of Katelyn's story put life in perspective of what curveballs life can throw when you least expect it, followed by how you pivot towards life's curveballs. If you love a first responder—or are one—this conversation gives you a playbook: never let them leave angry, create space to decompress before you probe, document relentlessly, learn your benefits before the worst day, and question protocols that keep families sick and stuck. We also talk identity after the uniform, moving to start fresh, and why purpose beats platitudes when the cameras are off.To watch Episode #86, like and subscribe: https://youtu.be/LtLt0DwADdYIf this resonated, tap follow, share with a first responder family, and leave a review telling us the one resource you wish you had on day one.

The surprising story of the Army's efforts to combat PTSD and traumatic brain injury The wars in Iraq and Afghanistan have taken a tremendous toll on the mental health of our troops. In 2005, then-Senator Barack Obama took to the Senate floor to tell his colleagues that "many of our injured soldiers are returning from Iraq with traumatic brain injury," which doctors were calling the "signature wound" of the Iraq War. Alarming stories of veterans taking their own lives raised a host of vital questions: Why hadn't the military been better prepared to treat post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and traumatic brain injury (TBI)? Why were troops being denied care and sent back to Iraq? Why weren't the Army and the VA doing more to address these issues? Drawing on previously unreleased documents and oral histories, David Kieran tells the broad and nuanced story of the Army's efforts to understand and address these issues, challenging the popular media view that the Iraq War was mismanaged by a callous military unwilling to address the human toll of the wars. The story of mental health during this war is the story of how different groups--soldiers, veterans and their families, anti-war politicians, researchers and clinicians, and military leaders--approached these issues from different perspectives and with different agendas. It is the story of how the advancement of medical knowledge moves at a different pace than the needs of an Army at war, and it is the story of how medical conditions intersect with larger political questions about militarism and foreign policy. Signature Wounds: The Untold Story of the Military's Mental Health Crisis (NYU Press, 2019) shows how PTSD, TBI, and suicide became the signature wounds of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, how they prompted change within the Army itself, and how mental health became a factor in the debates about the impact of these conflicts on US culture.

Send us a textIn this unfiltered members-only solo rant, Jared wrestles with the never-ending Tim Kennedy drama—because apparently just being a Green Beret and UFC fighter wasn't enough for the guy. With fake valor awards, bogus war stories, and a book full of stolen valor sauce, Tim Kennedy's credibility is in free fall. But here's the twist: do we keep crushing him, or is it time to circle the wagons and offer a redemption arc?Jared takes you behind the scenes of the veteran influencer world—calling out the hypocrisy, wrestling with his own moments of public misrepresentation (yep, even at a graduation), and pushing back against the idea that every screw-up deserves permanent exile. He shares real stories of leadership, PTSD, and the difference between isolating and insulating someone who's fallen off the rails.Snarky, reflective, and brutally honest—this is what happens when you're tired of the internet outrage cycle but still believe in accountability.
Today, on Notable Leaders' Radio, I speak with Tony Crescenzo, CEO of Intelligent Waves & Founder of Peak Neuro, LLC. He highlights his compelling journey from a resilient upbringing and military service to pioneering leadership insights and transformative healing with brain-training technology. In today's episode, we discuss: Remember the importance of "always do the right thing." Tony's grandfather's timeless advice served as his moral compass, guiding him through every personal and business decision. He discovered that by valuing integrity, you foster trust and build a strong, lasting reputation. See adversity as an opportunity to grow and learn. Tony's time in the military, especially the hurdles he faced as his military career came to a close, reminds us how much reputation truly matters. Welcome setbacks as moments to build character and become someone others truly respect and trust. To ease conflicts, try to understand the root of fear rather than just anger. Through his journey with anger, he learned that anger is really fear turned upside down. Embracing this awareness enabled him to transition from fear/anger to compassion and a deeper understanding of himself and others in times of challenge. Consider responding to anger with empathy—it can be a beautiful way to strengthen both your work and personal relationships. Prioritize your sleep and mental health with effective strategies. For instance, Tony saw wonderful improvements in his sleep, memory, and mood by using brainwave entrainment. Taking some proactive steps to care for yourself—such as getting good rest and keeping your mind clear—can truly make a significant difference in your happiness and productivity. Adopt the idea of "generals eat last" as your leadership guiding principle. As Tony beautifully shared, inspiring leaders always put their teams first, creating a warm environment full of trust and stability. When you focus on serving and supporting others, it gently builds loyalty and can significantly lift your team's performance. Embracing this approach can truly make your leadership journey more rewarding and fulfilling! Be open to new modalities of healing. Tony lived with PTSD for 30 years. He believed his anger and stress from his time in the military were a part of him and his life now. It wasn't until he stumbled across a new assistive technology that he learned that was not the case. It is also inspired the creation of PeakNeuro, an AI-enabled platform that uses acoustic audio-entrainment to help veterans and leaders regulate stress, get better sleep, and improve human performance overall through cognitive resilience.

In this episode of The Optimal Bio Podcast, host Tylar sits down with Irene Burns, PA, from the Optimal Bio Pinehurst office. Listen as they discuss the connection between PTSD, traumatic brain injury (TBI), and hormone health, especially within the military community. Drawing from her clinical expertise and personal experience as a military spouse, Irene shares how trauma and chronic stress can disrupt hormones like testosterone and cortisol, impacting mood, cognition, sleep, and overall well-being. Together, they explore why these invisible conditions are often overlooked, how Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT) can support recovery, and why addressing hormonal balance is essential for healing both body and mind. Have you ever wondered how hormones influence mental health, energy, and resilience? This conversation is one you won't want to miss.

The sermon presents a compelling vision of theological education in East Africa through the work of Trinity Bible Institute (TBI) in Uganda, emphasizing that the greatest need in the region is not merely material aid but sound doctrine to combat widespread theological confusion and false teachings. Set against the backdrop of breathtaking mountain landscapes and vibrant African culture, the speaker highlights how TBI trains pastors from diverse nations—including refugees from war-torn regions—equipping them with biblical fidelity, sound exegesis, and practical skills to resist the influx of prosperity gospel, syncretism, and Islamic expansion. The central message is that the future of global Christianity lies in Africa, and preserving the historic Christian faith through rigorous theological training is a first-thing imperative, ensuring that the gospel remains uncorrupted and capable of sustaining a growing, biblically grounded church. The speaker calls the church to recognize this 'theological famine' as a critical mission field, where supporting institutions like TBI multiplies impact far beyond immediate needs, shaping the next generation of faithful leaders who will carry the truth across continents.

For more than fifty years, the official story stood unchallenged. Modern forensic science is now putting it to the test. In 1967, Sheriff Buford Pusser and his wife, Pauline, were ambushed on a rural Tennessee road, an attack that inspired the basis for the Walking Tall films. In part 2, Sheryl McCollum continues her conversation with Mike Elam, Jason White, Dennis Hathcock, and Danny Cupples as they revisit the physical evidence and confront the inconsistensies that have haunted this case for decades. For more background on the Pusser case, listen to Sheryl’s previous Zone 7 episodes: Sheriff Buford Pusser: The Other Story Featuring Guest Mike Elam Tennessee Ambush: The Death of Pauline Pusser New Eyewitness Testimony Laid Bare: The Ambush That Killed Pauline Pusser (Part 1 of 2) Highlights: (0:00) Sheryl welcomes listeners to Zone 7 and recaps recent developments in the Pauline Pusser case (1:15) Jason notes that Pauline was never formally examined despite an established coroner system being in place at the time (2:45) Jason explains that the lack of urgency following Pauline’s death defied every norm for an officer-involved homicide (5:15) Mike describes contradictions between Buford Pusser’s official statements and the public storytelling that fueled the “ambush legend” (10:00) The panel discusses unanswered question about ballistic evidence and TBI’s new transparency in the reopened case (13:30) Danny reviews limited medical records describing Pauline’s injuries and challenges the accuracy of the recorded wound descriptions (16:45) Blood-pattern evidence on the car hood contradicts claims that all shots were fired inside the vehicle (19:00) The team examines blood spatter on the car’s hood and notes the lack of motion, raising questions about whether Buford’s wound could have been self-inflicted (24:45) Domestic context: Pauline was preparing to leave; daughter Diane hears a “pop”; Pauline’s shows appear oddly places inside the car (33:30) The discussion turns to whether TBI will review the Louise Hathcock homicide to better understand the broader case context (44:30) Sheryl and guests conclude part 2 with gratitude and perspective, reflecting on how modern forensic analysis and friendship have carried this case forward Guest Bios: Mike Elam is a former Benton County Sheriff’s Deputy and author. His book Buford Pusser: The Other Story traces his own cold case investigation into the 1967 ambush that killed Pauline Pusser. Jason White is a veteran homicide detective with the Tulsa Police Department, a featured investigator on A&E’s The First 48, and the podcast host of KGRA’s Into the Fire. Danny Cupples is Tennessee’s first Chief Death Investigator and a certified forensic death investigator who has trained elite forensic teams in New York.

Today's guest calls traumatic brain injury (TBI) “a silent epidemic”, describing a common yet complex injury that, for many, presents with chronic symptoms. In this episode, host Rachel Land speaks with expert guest Dr. Kyla Pearce, Senior Director of Programs, Research & Operations for the LoveYourBrain Foundation – a national nonprofit that delivers evidence-based holistic health programs for the brain injury community. Because individual experiences of TBI vary widely, it can be a daunting thing to work with as a yoga teacher. Dr. Pearce talks about the under-appreciated importance of social support and the delicate balance of giving students agency without creating overwhelm. She also offers best practices for movement and breath work, and discusses the power of visualization.

She came to America at five. She became a Marine. What happened next will stay with you.This week on Urban Valor, we dive into the story of Gunnery Sergeant Kimmy Lamano, a Filipino-American immigrant who rose through the ranks of the U.S. Marine Corps while carrying the weight of trauma, silence, and survival.From growing up in Manila and Hawaii, to surviving a convoy explosion in Afghanistan while teaching Afghan children, Kimmy's journey is one of grit, honor, and post-service healing. For 18 years, she served her country in combat zones, humanitarian crises, and as a trailblazing female Drill Instructor.But it wasn't just the battlefield she had to fight on. It was the return home, the invisible wounds, and the struggle to find purpose beyond the uniform.
The TBI has released their investigation file to the public. This is an unheard of development. TBI files are exempt from public records act. In this episode a love interest of sheriff pusser speaks about her involvement with the sheriff known for the movie Walking Tall
A proverb as old as time: FAFO. The TBI has announced they've launched an investigation into the revealing viral bodycam footage from a heated altercation between Tami Sawyer and a sheriff's deputy. Tami blamed it on being stressed by the National Guard's presence but that's not an excuse to call an officer a racist SOB. Also on the show: a No King's weekend recap featuring a potential breakup during a street interview, President Trump trolling again with an AI video of him dumping poop on protestors while flying a jet, and an ol' fashioned jewelry heist at the Louvre in Paris, France!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Newt talks with Marcus and Amber Capone, co-founders of Veterans Exploring Treatment Solutions (VETS), about the transformative impact of ibogaine treatment on veterans suffering from mental health issues, including TBI, depression and PTSD. Marcus, a former Navy SEAL, shares his personal journey of overcoming challenges related to traumatic brain injury and mental health struggles through ibogaine therapy, which he initially resisted due to misconceptions about psychedelics. Amber, instrumental in finding this treatment, highlights the profound changes it brought to Marcus and their family, leading them to establish VETS in 2019. Their organization has since supported over a thousand veterans and their families in accessing ibogaine treatment, despite regulatory challenges in the United States. The Capone’s emphasize the need for research and policy change to make such treatments available domestically, citing successful legislative efforts in Texas and ongoing studies at institutions like Stanford and Ohio State. They also discuss their upcoming Netflix documentary, which aims to raise awareness about ibogaine's potential.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Since the launch of the Memphis Safe Task Force, the TBI has confirmed 44 missing children recovered to safety, most being runaways. The director of the TBI said they've been focusing on the missing children, identifying 137 when the task force started. Doesn't that alone justify the entire operation? If it saves ONE life, right? Right? Also on the show: Chicagoans have expressed jealousy after seeing videos of Memphians thanking Trump for making Memphis safe again, Ketanji Brown Jackson suggests black Americans can't vote and compared them to disabled people, and The Zohran takes on Fox News!

Send us a textTaylor Vogel thought the Marine Corps would give him structure when life had none. After three deployments and a devastating IED blast, he survived but came home unraveled—TBI, PTSD, a bottle within reach, and a family on the line.This isn't a polished comeback—it's a raw story of drifting without roots, wrestling with faith
Send us a textWhat if “treatment-resistant” isn't about you—it's about the tools? We sit down with Dr. Theodore Henderson, a neurobiologist and psychiatrist, to rethink brain care for autism, TBI, depression, anxiety, and long COVID through neuroplasticity, functional imaging, and smarter energy-based therapies. Instead of labels and guesswork, we dig into how infrared light can reach mitochondria, raise BDNF, and trigger repair; why power and dosing make or break results; and how SPECT scans help clinicians ask better questions before prescribing. Dr. Henderson shares a striking case where a bipolar diagnosis crumbled under imaging—and Lyme disease treatment resolved years of symptoms. We also unpack the politics around SPECT access and the fresh shift in nuclear medicine guidelines that put TBI, dementia, and infectious disease back on the map. From there, we head into the future: ExoMind's next-gen TMS with shorter, quieter, higher-impact sessions; the safety essentials that keep interventions comfortable; and the real-world outcomes families care about most—less anxiety, fewer spirals, clearer thinking, more daily ease. The theme is synergy: infrared plus ketamine, infrared plus TMS, layered with sleep, sunlight, and sensory-friendly routines to create lasting change. Along the way, we honor neurodiversity and practical wins for autistic individuals: reducing rigidity, softening anxiety, and supporting unique strengths without forcing sameness. If your current plan isn't working, this conversation offers a hopeful pivot—more data, fewer assumptions, and a toolkit that actually matches the brain's biology.

Pete Scobell is a former U.S. Navy SEAL Lieutenant with 17 years of service, including six combat deployments, best known as the real-life member of the SEAL team that rescued Captain Richard Phillips from Somali pirates in 2009, inspiring the film Captain Phillips. Scobell served in the United States Navy as both an enlisted and officer in the SEAL Teams. He served at SEAL Team EIGHT, ONE, SEAL Delivery Vehicle Team ONE and Naval Special Warfare Development Group. Prior to the Navy, Pete was a ski racer in New York State and the Pennsylvania State Champion in the Pole Vault. While working as a lifeguard for the state of Pennsylvania, he was awarded the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Resources Heroism Award for a rescue he made at Presque Isle State Park. A graduate of the United States Naval Academy with a BS in Political Science, he was the third (and last) enlisted SEAL selected to attend the United States Naval Academy. After a four-year hiatus from pole vaulting, he walked onto the Naval Academy Track Team (Division I), set the freshman record, and placed in the IC4As. He was also a starter on the A-side Naval Academy Rugby team. Scobell suffered a traumatic brain injury (TBI) from an explosion in Afghanistan in 2010, which ended his active duty career. After rigorous rehabilitation at the National Intrepid Center of Excellence, he transformed his experiences into advocacy for TBI and PTSD recovery, speaking to military audiences and veterans' groups. Transitioning to civilian life, Scobell pursued passions in music, releasing country-Americana albums like Wild (2015) as the Pete Scobell Band, acting in films such as Plane (2023) alongside Gerard Butler, and competing as a professional skier after a 17-year hiatus. A father of three and husband, he consults on security, writes, and motivates others through resilience stories, emphasizing mental health and second chances.

In this episode of the Crack House Chronicles Donnie and Dale speak with Mike Elam, author of Buford Pusser The Other Story. In his book, Mike challenges the heroic portrayal of Sheriff Buford Pusser, presenting a darker, more complex narrative based on his research into FBI files, autopsy reports, and interviews with those who knew Pusser. The book questions the official accounts of Pusser's life, particularly the ambush that killed his wife, Pauline, and suggests that Pusser may have been part of the problem at the state line rather than the solution.

They also touch on the importance of anticipatory training and the role of fatigue in susceptibility to brain injuries. The episode concludes with a discussion on the use of supplements like creatine and the challenges of implementing performance-oriented practices in military training environments.
Joe and Kyle celebrate Vital Cohort 4 and reflect on why Vital is more than a 12-month psychedelic-informed training—it's a living community (alumni webinars, discussion groups, cross-cohort meetups).

Breathwork in Breckenridge (this weekend) Dreamshadow Transpersonal Breathwork returns Fri–Sun. The last workshop reinforced how powerful the format is for bonding, somatic processing, and ongoing peer support. Music & tech: fail-safe playbook Keep redundant sources: primary laptop with WAV/FLAC (VLC/Mixxx), secondary device/phone, and a small Bluetooth speaker as last resort. Redundant mixers/interfaces, tested cables, simple signal flow. Pre-flight the exact rig; monitor for digital artifacts/grounding noise. Use offline playlists + Do Not Disturb (actually test it). Why community matters now With AI accelerating “dead-internet” dynamics, trusted human networks—book clubs, film clubs, local meetups—are essential. Skills for the moment: digital security hygiene and discernment (evaluating claims, sources, and inner signals). News & trends Alaska: statewide psilocybin initiative begins signature gathering. New Mexico: momentum toward group psilocybin care (cost-cutting models; ~2-year horizon). TBI & psychedelics: expanding research interest (ibogaine/5-MeO imaging work; anti-inflammatory angles). Colorado & iboga: advisory board backs therapeutic use and encourages Nagoya Protocol reciprocity; federal import/legal nuances remain. Harm-reduction notes Beware gas-station/head-shop “psychedelic” edibles labeled as “proprietary blends.” Ask for COAs and clear ingredients; understand test-kit limits (chocolates are tricky). For injections (even “legal” clinics), ask about sterile technique, water, dosing, and sourcing.
