What if there was an exogenous ketone that didn't go through the liver, didn't cause the GI distress of other ketones, and delivered bioidentical BHB directly to your cells? In this episode, Lisa sits down with Mike Chesne, founder of Tecton and retired US Army Special Forces combat medic, who spent 25 years in special operations before developing R3HBG — a patented ketone molecule that's categorically different from everything else on the market. Mike's journey from battlefield medicine to biotech is extraordinary. After suffering multiple traumatic brain injuries from IED blasts during nearly three years of combat, he went through brain injury rehabilitation and discovered the neuroprotective potential of ketones. He asked one question that changed everything: "If I had been in ketosis when I got blown up, how much better would my outcome have been?" That question led him to Oxford University, to Dr Kieran Clarke's lab, and eventually to designing his own molecule — drawing it on a napkin and spending over a decade turning it into a manufactured, FDA-reviewed product. In this deep-dive episode we cover: Mike's military career and the brain injuries that changed his path The DARPA project that spent $10 million searching for a supplement to boost performance and cognition by 30% Why the brain in Alzheimer's and TBI can't access glucose but can still take up ketones R3HBG explained: how lipase (not alcohol dehydrogenase) breaks it down, and why that matters The differences between BHB salts, R-1,3-butanediol, the original ketone ester, and R3HBG The NLRP3 inflammasome and how BHB blocks the inflammatory cascade driving neurodegeneration HDAC inhibition and how BHB switches on your body's own antioxidant and longevity genes NDI #1354 and what FDA New Dietary Ingredient acceptance means The GLP-1 agonist connection for weight management and metabolic health Therapeutic dosing for cognition, endurance, and recovery Mike's vision to license R3HBG to every ketone company willing to use it Lisa's experience using ketones with her mother's brain injury and cancer recovery This is the most comprehensive ketone science episode we've ever produced.

What if there was literally a plastic spoon's worth of microplastics sitting inside your brain right now? In this jaw-dropping and deeply urgent solo episode, Darin Olien breaks down the newest science on microplastics, nanoplastics, brain accumulation, neuroinflammation, endocrine disruption, and the rapidly escalating contamination of the human body. Referencing groundbreaking new research published in Nature Medicine and newly launched U.S. government initiatives, Darin exposes how plastics are no longer just an environmental issue—they are now a human biology issue. From nanoplastics crossing the blood-brain barrier to endocrine-disrupting chemicals like BPA, PFAS, and phthalates accumulating in tissues, placentas, and testes, this episode explores the shocking implications of modern plastic exposure—and, more importantly, what practical steps you can take immediately to reduce your risk.     What You'll Learn The shocking new study finding microplastics in 100% of healthy human brains Why the average brain may now contain roughly a plastic spoon's worth of plastic How nanoplastics cross the blood-brain barrier The alarming connection between microplastics and dementia research Why plastics are not biologically inert substances The endocrine-disrupting chemicals hitchhiking on microplastics How bottled water, tea bags, coffee pods, and heated plastics dramatically increase exposure The role of PFAS, BPA, phthalates, and flame retardants in human health decline Why reverse osmosis filtration is one of the most effective protective tools Practical ways to reduce microplastic exposure immediately     Chapters 00:00:03 – Welcome to SuperLife 00:00:33 – Sponsor: Alkemis wellness paint and indoor air toxicity 00:00:57 – Conventional

Inside our brains. Inside our blood vessels. Inside unborn children. But while the scale of the problem is staggering, the solution begins with everyday choices. What you drink from. What you heat your food in. What you filter. What you buy. Your body is not a landfill—and reclaiming your health starts with refusing to treat it like one."     Bibliography/Sources Primary Scientific Studies Bornstein, S. R., et al. (2025).

Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) induced by COVID-19 was a leading cause of severe illness and death during the pandemic, driven by an intense innate immune response, hyperinflammation, and a decrease in lymphocytes. Mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) represent a potential therapeutic option for ARDS due to their ability to modulate the immune system and inflammation. Our guests report results from a Health Canada–regulated Phase I and Phase II trials evaluating freshly cultured umbilical cord–derived MSCs in patients with COVID-19-related ARDS, including assessments of safety, maximum feasible tolerated dose, and preliminary efficacy. Their work explores a therapeutic strategy to improve ARDS outcomes using MSCs, which will be important for optimizing and targeting future cellular therapies.GuestDuncan Stewart, MD, Ottawa Hospital Research Institute and University of Ottawa, CanadaElmira Safaie Qamsari, Ottawa Hospital Research Institute, CanadaHostJanet Rossant, Editor-in-Chief, Stem Cell Reports and The Gairdner FoundationSupporting DocumentsPaper link: Cellular immunotherapy for COVID-19-induced acute respiratory distress syndrome: Results of the CIRCA-19 phase 1 safety and phase 2 randomized controlled trials About Stem Cell ReportsStem Cell Reports is the open access, peer-reviewed journal of the International Society for Stem Cell Research (ISSCR) for communicating basic discoveries in stem cell research, in addition to translational and clinical studies.

Sarah Newbold, Practice Director of Progressive Therapeutic Collective, talks about AI and digital relationships on today's episode of our radio show, Brainwaves. She is deeply passionate about having informed, caring and considered conversations about human relationships.Sarah's work covers a nation-wide mental health practice that focuses on intersectionality, trauma, sexuality, gender, abortion, accessibility and advocacy. 

Up to 1 in 5 people may have this condition and never know it and the diagnoses they've been handed instead, from PCOS to IBS to chronic fatigue, may all be pointing at the same hidden cause. In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Tania Dempsey, Johns Hopkins-trained internist and one of the leading researchers on Mast Cell Activation Syndrome, who tells me that 100% of her PCOS patients test positive for MCAS, and walks me through why mast cells may be the most overlooked driver of chronic illness in modern medicine. If you've been told your symptoms are idiopathic, or that nothing's wrong even though everything feels wrong, this is the conversation that finally connects the dots.

How can a substance often misunderstood as a recreational drug become the "Swiss Army knife" of emotional healing and relationship repair? Is it possible to access your most loving, non-defensive self to resolve even the deepest of traumas and conflicts?   In this episode, Dr. Adriana Popescu is joined by Jonathan Robinson, a former psychotherapist, bestselling author of 16 books, and a pioneer in the field of MDMA-assisted therapy. Having led over 700 MDMA journeys, Jonathan shares the profound potential of this medicine to foster open, non-defensive communication and radical emotional healing. Together, they explore the critical distinction between recreational use and therapeutic intention, the fascinating history of MDMA, and how this unique tool can help individuals and couples return to their original blueprint of love and connection.   In this episode: Defining the Medicine: Understanding the unique properties of MDMA and how it differs from traditional psychedelics like psilocybin or LSD. The Swiss Army Knife of Therapy: Why MDMA is uniquely effective for treating PTSD, anxiety, and long-standing relationship conflicts. Set and Setting: The vital importance of intentionality and a safe environment in creating a transformative healing experience. Accelerated Healing: How MDMA can help clients accomplish "two years of therapy in one afternoon.” Love & Personal Transformation: Moving stories of healing and specific protocols for using MDMA to create more love and less conflict in intimate relationships.   Resources mentioned in this episode: Jonathan's Website: xtcasmedicine.com Facilitator Training: mdmatraining.net (Use coupon code KOP200 for $200 off) Book: Ecstasy for Couples: How MDMA Therapy Can Help You to Create More Love and Less Conflict in Your Relationship and Ecstasy as Medicine. https://www.amazon.com/Ecstasy-Couples-Therapy-Conflict-Relationship/dp/B0G5K44M2K   About Jonathan: Jonathan Robinson is a former psychotherapist, bestselling author of 16 books, and one of the earliest pioneers of MDMA-assisted therapy. Since conducting groundbreaking research on MDMA in 1984, he has guided hundreds of individuals and couples through structured MDMA-supported experiences to heal trauma, reduce anxiety, and create deeper connection. He's the author of Ecstasy as Medicine. His brand-new book, Ecstasy for Couples, reveals how a single guided MDMA session can create breakthroughs that often surpass years of traditional therapy.    “I found that I could do about two years of therapy in one afternoon with MDMA. And it was a lot more fun for everybody.” – Jonathan   Would you like to continue this conversation and connect with other people who are interested in exploring these topics?

A Brilliant Adaptation: How Dissociative Identity Disorder and the Power of the Therapeutic Bond Saved Me (New Harbinger Publications, 2026) is a searing and profound memoir of one woman's journey through dissociative identity disorder and childhood sexual abuse--and how she found hope, healing, and recovery.  Sally Maslansky is living the perfect life: a beautiful home in Malibu, California, a successful Hollywood producer husband who adores her, and a recently adopted son she treasures. But when Sally begins to remember the trauma she endured as a child, her world begins to unravel. In this gripping and provocative memoir, psychotherapist Maslansky shares how childhood sexual abuse led her to develop dissociative identity disorder (DID), and how, with the help of renowned therapist Daniel J. Siegel, she ultimately recovers. The book reveals the power of therapeutic bond to heal deep attachment wounds, the science of neuroplasticity in healing the traumatized mind, and our capacity as human beings to reconcile unspeakable experiences in order to grow, change, and live vibrant, loving, and joyful lives against all odds. Together with Siegel, Maslansky slowly recovers her childhood memories and reconnects with the forgotten parts of herself--parts that she grows to admire, respect, honor, and love, because they literally saved her young mind from unimaginable horrors. In the book, Siegel describes Maslansky's DID as a brilliant adaptation of the mind--a protective force that kept her mentally safe when the people she should have trusted most were the ones responsible for her abuse. Whether you have struggled with DID yourself, love someone who has DID, or are simply looking to be inspired by the tenacity of the human spirit, this memoir offers a provocative glimpse into an often pathologized and misunderstood condition, and shows the profound and healing possibilities of therapy, human understanding, and the will to survive. Sally Maslansky, LMFT has been in private practice for twenty years in Chapel Hill, NC. She treats families, adoption, trauma, parenting, and adult individuals. Her training is in interpersonal neurobiology (IPNB), mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR), eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), adult attachment interview (AAI), attachment theory, polyvagal theory practices, mindfulness, and the wheel of awareness practice.

An essential guide to healing from oppression-based trauma, for everyone left outside of mainstream conversations There are many books on trauma healing that can change people's lives. Yet when queer and trans people, people of color, and all of us living at the margins look for books that reflect our own experiences and that specifically name the oppression we experience as trauma, we're left empty-handed. There's little that speaks to the specific traumas we experience: homophobia, transphobia, institutional injustices, isolation, medical trauma, and discrimination at every turn. We deserve to have ourselves reflected and considered in the world of trauma recovery. In Healing the Oppressed Body: A Therapeutic Guide for Radical Self-Liberation (Penguin, 2026), somatic therapist Andrea Gutiérrez-Glik provides the best tools and approaches to healing trauma and filters them through an anti-oppression lens, making sure they're uniquely impactful for all of us at the margins. In these pages, you'll learn how trauma is stored and processed by our minds and bodies and how we can work with our amazingly flexible brains and nervous systems to create pathways to healing. You'll understand just how and why trauma that occurs in our earliest days can affect us throughout our lives. You'll learn to embrace your Internal Family, making yourself whole. In Healing the Oppressed Body, Andrea Gutiérrez-Glik lovingly offers us the best, most radical solutions to tap into our sources of healing. Along the way, you'll discover tools and techniques for emotional regulation and therapeutic modalities to heal from oppression-based trauma. Whether inside the therapy room or on your own, in the pages of Healing the Oppressed Body, you'll learn how to heal through growing compassion for all parts of yourself and others, finding community support and love, and celebrating the freedom to be your true self.Andrea Gutiérrez-Glik, LCSW, is a psychotherapist specializing in treating OCD, cPTSD, and PTSD, prioritizing women, survivors, and queer and trans folks. She utilizes EMDR, IFS, I-CBT, and ERP to help clients feel safe in the present and come home to themselves. Gutiérrez-Glik is also an EMDRIA-approved consultant for therapists getting certified in EMDR and a regular teacher at Alma, the Trauma of Money(tm), and other mental health organizations. She lives in St. Louis, Missouri, on occupied Osage and Kaskaskia land, with her wife and their child.

In this episode of the CCPT Mythbusters series, I tackle the belief that "it's not play therapy if the child isn't in the playroom." I explain why a child refusing to go back to the playroom is not a problem to solve, but simply another behavior to understand within the child's process. Whether a child sits in the lobby, hallway, parking lot, or refuses to engage at all, our role does not change. We remain fully adherent to the model, trusting the child's pace, honoring their autonomy, and preserving the relationship above all else. I also discuss the importance of recognizing our own expectations and agenda when children resist the playroom. Too often, therapists unintentionally rank behaviors as "good" or "bad," viewing engagement, symbolic play, and enthusiasm as success while seeing silence, avoidance, or lobby sessions as failure. But in CCPT, every behavior is equally meaningful. This episode is a reminder that the healing power of child-centered play therapy is not confined to four walls or a room full of toys—it exists in the consistency of the relationship, the unconditional acceptance we provide, and our unwavering trust in the child's process.

Good morning from Pharma Daily: the podcast that brings you the most important developments in the pharmaceutical and biotech world. In a rapidly evolving industry landscape, artificial intelligence has emerged as a game-changer, transforming how major pharmaceutical companies approach drug development and diagnostics. Roche's strategic acquisition of PathAI for over $1 billion exemplifies this shift, highlighting the growing importance of AI-driven diagnostics in digital pathology. This move signals a broader trend where AI is no longer just a theoretical concept but a practical tool enhancing healthcare delivery. Alnylam's recent challenges with its web-based presentation of Amvuttra data underscore the need for accuracy in representing clinical data digitally—showing that while AI can offer innovative ways to present data, it also demands rigorous standards to ensure clarity and prevent misleading claims. On the regulatory front, the FDA's evolving stance on cell therapy Ebvallo, alongside its new one-day assessment pilot program, is shaping the industry's regulatory environment. The reconsideration of Ebvallo's earlier rejection due to single-arm trial data concerns illustrates the FDA's willingness to adapt its regulatory framework to accommodate innovative therapies. This adjustment could potentially pave the way for other gene therapies in development, including those by UniQure. Moreover, Sanofi's withdrawal of Tzield from the FDA's contentious Commissioner's National Priority Voucher program reflects ongoing debates about expedited review processes, underscoring the need for transparent and efficient pathways for bringing new therapies to patients swiftly. Additionally, the FDA's AI-guided inspection pilot aims to modernize compliance strategies and enhance pharmaceutical manufacturing oversight. In clinical trials, companies continue to face both triumphs and setbacks. Entrada Therapeutics experienced a significant decline in stock value following underwhelming Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy trial results, potentially reshaping competitive dynamics in favor of rivals like Novartis. Conversely, Angelini Pharma is making strategic moves with its $4.1 billion acquisition of Catalyst Pharmaceuticals, targeting market expansion in the U.S. through Firdapse, which is poised to make significant impacts in treating rare diseases. MingMed Biotechnology's promising phase 2 results for QA102 could signal new treatment paradigms for dry AMD—a condition with limited current interventions. Therapeutic innovation is also being driven by policy shifts that encourage research into psychedelic drugs for mental health treatment. Optimi Health's IPO indicates growing investor interest in this area, fueled by regulatory easing under recent executive orders aimed at facilitating psychedelic research. Strategic pipeline adjustments are evident as companies realign their focus based on emerging data insights. Ascendis Pharma's decision to halt its IL-2 oncology program marks a shift toward more promising avenues, while Beone Medicines' restructuring reflects a similar strategy by discontinuing several early-stage cancer programs. The industry's dynamism is further illustrated by Eli Lilly's substantial $4.5 billion investment in expanding its Indiana campus. This move not only enhances Lilly's capacity for genetic medicine and metabolic disease manufacturing but also underscores a broader industry commitment to precision medicine and biologics—fields anticipated to play pivotal roles in future healthcare solutions. Meanwhile, Bayer's acquisition of Perfuse Therapeutics seeks to bolster its ophthalmology portfolio, addressing significant unmet needs in eye disease treatments. Novo Nordisk's success with Wegovy highlights strong market demand for effective obesity treatments, demonstrating an industry-wide shift towards addressing lifestyle-related diseases.

In this episode of The Light Inside, we delve into the complex and often challenging topic of moral ambiguity within the therapeutic relationship. Our guest, Simon Mont, brings his expertise as an organizational and conflict coach to explore how moral ambiguity can shape interactions between clinicians and clients, especially when collapse, shame, defensiveness, or self-sealing containment narrow the relational field.We begin by discussing how moral ambiguity is not inherently problematic but can become a cue that organizes collapse, rupture, repair, and even re-traumatization under relational load. The conversation highlights the importance of metacognition, where the clinician's ability to observe the process while participating in it becomes crucial.Simon and I explore the dynamics of power within the therapeutic setting, emphasizing the need for clinicians to hold the relational field with enough capacity to slow down the sequence of events that lead to protective responses. We discuss the role of pacing, sequencing, and titration in allowing repair to become reintegration.A significant portion of our conversation focuses on the ethical considerations and the clinician's responsibility to maintain a balance between holding space for the client's agency and not imposing their own moral judgments. We touch upon the challenges of navigating societal and cultural contexts within therapy, and how clinicians can inadvertently replicate societal harms if they are not mindful of their own biases and power dynamics.Throughout the episode, we also reflect on our own interaction, using it as a live example of how misunderstandings and power dynamics can play out in real-time. This meta-conversation serves to illustrate the very principles we discuss, providing listeners with a practical understanding of the concepts.In summary, this episode offers a deep dive into the nuanced and often ambiguous terrain of therapeutic ethics, power dynamics, and the clinician's role in fostering a space where clients can explore their consciousness and agency. We hope this conversation provides valuable insights for clinicians and anyone interested in the therapeutic process.Timestamps[00:01:10] Moral ambiguity in therapy.[00:06:19] Power dynamics in therapy.[00:10:30] Client agency in therapeutic relationships.[00:13:06] Agency and mutuality in therapy.[00:17:27] Moral ambiguity and duality.[00:19:54] Moral ambiguity causal cue stack.[00:25:30] Therapeutic space and moral ambiguity.[00:32:19] Moral choices in clinical practice.[00:34:27] Moral ambiguity in coaching.[00:39:18] Gaps in communication and understanding.[00:44:58] Power dynamics in communication.[00:47:07] Power dynamics in healing relationships.[00:51:40] Agency and moral frameworks.[00:56:17] Power dynamics in conversation.[01:01:12-01:01:23] Node-level metacognition in relationships.[01:02:06] Failure of sequencing in care.Coachable Inquiry: What happens when interpretation starts moving faster than contact?Many communication breakdowns do not begin with bad intent. They begin when cue-driven appraisal, embodied state, and prior relational learning start shaping meaning faster than the relationship can hold context, pacing, and mutual contact.
