This week's show is with Dr. Daniel M. Ingram, MD MSPH, a retired emergency medicine physician who works to improve the global relationship of science, clinical practice, mental health and the public to the phenomena that might be referred to as spiritual, meditative, energetic, mystical, psychedelic, magical, and related phenomena. To those ends, he is currently the founder, philanthropic supporter, and volunteer CEO and Board Chair of the Emergence Benefactors registered charity, and chief organizer and co-founder of the global Emergent Phenomenology Research Consortium. He is currently involved in neurophenomenological research of advanced meditative states with colleagues at Harvard and has been a participant in numerous fMRI and EEG studies of advanced meditators, including at Harvard, Yale, U Mass, and Vanderbilt. He has published scientific articles in Pediatrics, Child Abuse and Neglect, and the Journal of Medical Toxicology. He is the author of Mastering the Core Teachings of the Buddha, co-author of The Fire Kasina, and co-founder of the Dharma Overground. His work has been featured in The New York Times, Esquire, Vice, Wired, BBC Radio 4, Evolving Dharma, American Dharma: Buddhism Beyond Modernity, Dan Harris' 10% Happier Podcast, Slate Star Codex Blog, Buddha at the Gas Pump, Meaning of Life TV, Deconstructing Yourself, Spiritual Explained website, Guru Viking, Buddhist Geeks, Cosmic Tortoise, Startup Geometry, Imperfect Buddha Podcast, and many others. In this conversation, Daniel and Lian explored the intersection of magic, spirituality, science, and healthcare. Daniel shares his personal journey and the three aspects of himself that led him to explore this integration within and without via the work of the Emergent Phenomenology Research Consortium, which aims to bridge the gap between the clinical mainstream and the emergent world. The conversation explores the importance of understanding phenomenology, establishing diagnostic categories, and conducting epidemiological studies. As well as the topics of neurodivergence and shamanic sickness, highlighting the need for understanding and support in these areas, and the challenges of recognising and relating to unusual experiences, as well as the tension between regulation and accessibility in alternative healing practices. Finally, Daniel shares his vision for the future, where knowledge and capabilities in these areas are equitably distributed and supported by scientific research. We'd love to know what YOU think about this week's show. Let's carry on the conversation… please leave a comment below or share in our fb group. What you'll learn from this episode: The integration of magic, spirituality, science, and healthcare can lead to transformative experiences and intentional healing. Understanding phenomenology and establishing diagnostic categories are crucial for bridging the gap between the clinical mainstream and the emergent world. Epidemiological studies can provide insights into the impact of transformative experiences on mental wellbeing and society. Special projects related to military, security, space, and big data require careful consideration and ethical approaches. Normalization and connection with others who have had similar experiences can be healing and provide support. Understanding and support for neurodivergence and shamanic sickness are important in the context of spiritual and mystical experiences. Recognizing and relating to unusual experiences can be challenging, but pattern recognition and training can help healthcare professionals provide better care.

Simple Ways to Make Healthy Happen Think of the impact we can make if we unite our efforts. By emphasizing prevention, engaging the community, and fostering partnerships, we can break the cycle of obesity and overweight in our daily environments.Fibre, Baked Beans, and the Role of Frozen FoodsWhen discussing health and nutrition, one cannot overstate the importance of dietary fibre. Fibre is an essential component that aids in digestive health, can help lower cholesterol levels, and supports healthy blood sugar levels. It's found in various foods, including fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and legumes. Among these, baked beans, particularly when made from navy beans or haricot beans, emerge as an excellent source of dietary fibre.Baked Beans: Not Just Comfort Food Baked beans, a staple in many households, aren't just a comfort food; they're a nutritional powerhouse. Apart from being rich in fibre, they're a great source of plant-based protein and essential minerals like iron, magnesium, and zinc. The tomato sauce they are often baked in also adds to their nutrient content, particularly the antioxidant lycopene which is good for heart health. However, one must be cautious about the sugar and salt content in some commercially prepared baked beans. Opting for a low-sodium and low-sugar variety or making them at home can be a healthier choice.Frozen Foods and Fibre: The mention of frozen foods often conjures images of unhealthy, processed meals. However, freezing is a preservation method that can lock in the nutrients of fresh produce. For instance, frozen green beans or peas can retain much of their fibre content, making them as beneficial as their fresh counterparts, if not more so in some cases, especially if the fresh versions have been stored for extended periods or transported long distances. The key is to select frozen foods that have no added salts, sugars, or preservatives.Incorporating fibre into our diet doesn't have to be a complex task. Simple, everyday foods like baked beans, whether from a can or homemade, and a mix of fresh and frozen veggies can help us achieve our daily fibre intake. So, the next time you're at the grocery store, consider stocking up on both baked beans and some fibre-rich frozen foods. Your digestive system will thank you.Pick of the CropIn today's fast-paced world, where convenience often trumps quality, the age-old practice of sourcing food directly from gardens has become a lost art for many. However, introducing children to the joys of gardening and the pleasure of consuming fresh, home-grown produce can pave the way for healthier eating habits and a deeper appreciation for nature. Here's how to bridge the gap and reintroduce gardens to our children's tables:Start Small: Begin with easy-to-grow plants like herbs (basil, mint), lettuce, or radishes.
