Dr. T and Truth Fairy welcome Greg Wrenn, a former Alabama state representative and long-time health policy advocate, who shares insights into how he became interested in the therapeutic use of psychedelics through personal research and professional exposure. Greg recently wrote a book called “Mothership” about coral reef research, ecological crisis, and his personal PTSD healing journey with ayahuasca. He discusses portions of the book and his experiences with Truth and Dr. T.  Greg explores the growing interest in psychedelic-assisted therapy, particularly its potential to help individuals who struggle with mental health issues such as depression, anxiety, and PTSD. He addresses the shift from viewing psychedelics as taboo to recognizing their potential under controlled, clinical settings. His personal stories, alongside those shared by Truth, highlight the positive impact psychedelic therapy can have and how his passion for the issue has been fueled. Truth Fairy, Dr. T, and Greg share concerns about the challenges of implementing beneficial psychedelic healing sessions, and they celebrate Greg's integration of tribal and liberating dance into the ayahuasca ceremony. They talk about the importance of regulation, ethical safeguards, and integration of Indigenous practices, and caution against the risks of commercialization. The episode is both vulnerable and informative, painting a hopeful picture of potential healing even in the face of difficult times.“You know, I'm no psychedelic evangelist. I don't think everyone should drink ayahuasca or work with psychedelics. I know I should, I know I need to. And so this is really important for my mission, which is to, I guess, spread a message of love and spread a message of the possibility of planetary healing, because planetary healing happens, at least with humanity, one brain at a time.” - Greg Wrenn__About Greg Wrenn:A former Stegner Fellow and Jones Lecturer at Stanford University, GREG WRENN is the author of the ayahuasca eco-memoir Mothership: A Memoir of Wonder and Crisis, an evidence-based account of his turning to coral reefs and psychedelic plants to heal from childhood trauma, and Centaur (U of Wisconsin Press 2013), which National Book Award-winning poet Terrance Hayes awarded the Brittingham Prize. ​Greg's work has appeared or is forthcoming in HuffPost, The New Republic, Al Jazeera, The Rumpus, LitHub, Writer's Digest, Kenyon Review, New England Review, The Iowa Review, and elsewhere. He has received awards and fellowships from the James Merrill House, the Bread Loaf Writers' Conference, the Vermont Studio Center, the Poetry Society of America, the Hermitage Artist Retreat, the Virginia Center for the Creative Arts, and the Spiro Arts Center. On his Mothership book tour, he spoke to audiences around the world, including at Yale School of Medicine, the University of Utah School of Medicine, Vancouver Island University, and the University of Virginia School of Nursing. Greg has also been on numerous podcasts, including Levi Chambers's PRIDE, and was recently interviewed by Emmy Award-winning journalist Elizabeth Vargas on NewsNation​ and by Jane Garvey on Times Radio (UK). ​As an associate English professor at James Madison University, he teaches creative nonfiction, poetry, and environmental literature and directs the JMU Creative Writing Minor.

Stephen Goldstein (follow on X) is a postdoc in Evolutionary Virology at the University of Utah School of Medicine, where he specializes in coronaviruses. In this interview, he addresses common misconceptions about vaccines, particularly the debunked link to autism, and emphasizes the rigorous safety testing that vaccines undergo. The conversation also explores the reactions to COVID-19 vaccines, and the challenges of communicating credible information to the public. Goldstein highlights the need for innovative methods to improve public acceptance and accessibility. He discusses the potential of certain vaccines, such as that against HPV, to save millions of lives and address the long-term effects of diseases like measles; the search for vaccines against viruses like Epstein-Barr; and the balance between safety and innovation in development. One thing that is highlighted in this conversation is the problem with the “just taking questions” posture adopted by the anti-vaxx movement. Most of the questions they ask have been answered. Those that remain do not create enough doubt to suggest a person should not get the vaccines recommended by public health professionals. For more along these lines, see Richard Hanania, “Vaccines and the Tightrope of Progress.” This interview originally appeared here. This is a public episode.

Welcome to Episode 87 of the Sustainable Clinical Medicine Podcast! In today's episode, we are joined by the remarkable Dr. Kemia Sarraf, a physician, internist, and public health professional who has devoted her career to pioneering trauma-informed and trauma-responsive coaching practices. Dr. Sarraf will share her unique insights on recognizing trauma within ourselves to better assist others, grounded in her rich background in internal medicine, public health, and leadership development. We'll delve into the historical context of trauma, how it manifests in healthcare professionals, and practical ways to mitigate it, all while discussing the broader implications for physician burnout and sustainable healthcare environments. Join us as we explore the transformative power of trauma-informed coaching, the critical importance of connection, and strategies for balancing the demands of medical practice with personal well-being. Whether you're a physician, healthcare provider, or simply interested in the dynamics of healthcare, this episode promises to offer valuable perspectives and actionable advice. Stay tuned for an engaging and informative conversation with Dr. Kemia Sarraf. Here are 3 key takeaways from this episode: Understanding Trauma: Trauma is universal and recognizing its manifestations, both overt and subtle, in ourselves is essential to effectively help others. Connection as a Disruptor: Forming meaningful connections and offering clarity in the face of uncertainty can significantly mitigate toxic stress. Rest and Adaptability: Challenging the notion of perfect balance, the focus should shift to planning for the natural ebb and flow of effort and rest, delegating tasks, and sometimes lowering non-critical standards to maintain well-being. Dr. Kemia Sarraf Bio: Dr. Kemia Sarraf (“Dr. K” to friends and clients alike) completed her Medical Degree and Master of Public Health at the University of Utah School of Medicine, and her residency in Internal Medicine at Barnes-Jewish Hospital, Washington University School of Medicine.

Dr. K founded Lodestar in 2016 specializing in trauma-responsive coaching methods for physician colleagues experiencing high levels of severe burnout, vicarious trauma, and moral injury. Her background in public health and trauma led her to create a unique trauma-responsive coaching paradigm, particularly well-suited for frontline professionals working in environments of chronic toxic stress who directly experience the multivariate ways that vicarious and secondary trauma “shows up” in daily life. Dr. K's program has been applied across multiple industries for both leadership training and in the creation of trauma-responsive cultures for hard-driving, highly skilled professionals in any industry. Dr. K serves as adjunct faculty at Southern Illinois University School of Medicine in the office of Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion, bringing a trauma-informed lens and trauma-mitigation approach to institutional Justice, Equity and Anti-Racism work. She is engaged in multiple leadership initiatives and is co-lead faculty and facilitator in the ACGME Equity Matters program where her unique paradigm focuses on learners at every stage of their medical training and throughout their careers. Kemia is an authentic, compelling storyteller and a powerful keynote speaker. She is the recipient of numerous awards for her leadership and vision and was an AMA Women Physicians Inspiration Award Honoree in 2021. She is renowned for her boundless compassion, wisdom, and humor.

Data-backed decision-making is crucial in healthcare, but it can often be challenging, especially for rural hospitals with limited resources. However, from this week's conversation on Rural Health Leadership Radio, we learned that using, analyzing, and understanding community health data is more than achievable for rural hospitals.  Join us this week as we engage in a conversation with Liz Craker, Health Systems Support Coordinator for the Office of Primary Care and Rural Health within the Utah Department of Health and Human Services, and John Wadsworth, Co-Founder of REDiHealth. We discuss how leveraging data to understand patient populations can help increase access to care and manage care gaps in rural areas. Liz and John discuss the importance of their collaboration with each other and the rural hospitals they serve. We also delve into the exciting aspects of rural health, including fast-paced innovation, creativity, and how they are assisting rural hospitals in using data to support these efforts. “The cadence and amount of innovation in rural areas is staggering to when people understand and trust their data.” -John Wadsworth Liz Craker serves as the Health Systems Support Coordinator for the Office of Primary Care and Rural Health at the Utah Department of Health and Human Services.

Devin: What do you see as your superpower?Mo: A superpower would be just doing your best to help people in need.“My older brother suffered in a car accident in Morocco back in 2001,” explains University of Utah neuroscientist Mohammed “Mo” Sbai. “During the process of taking care of him between 2001 and 2007, when he passed away, I got to see firsthand the intricacies and the details and the hard work and the pain associated with the rehabilitation of people with severe neurological deficit.”“The other important thing that this made me discover is the tragic lack of those services in Morocco,” he says. That realization inspired him to launch a US-based nonprofit to operate a neurorehabilitation center in Marrakech, Morocco.The Moulay Ali Institute for Rehabilitation (MAIR) now serves about 50 patients per day, having helped almost 400 people recover from traumatic brain injuries and strokes. The facility is inadequate for local demand, and the waitlist of patients is growing. To meet the demand, Mo is leading efforts to raise $1.8 million to construct a larger facility owned directly by MAIR. The expanded facility would not only be adequate for local needs but would also serve as a model for replication throughout Africa.Throughout Mo's career, he's deployed his simple superpower, doing his best to serve people in need.AI Summary1. The Zahra Charity was founded by neuroscientist Mohammed Sbai in honor of his brother, who passed away after a car accident.2. The charity provides neurorehabilitation services in Morocco, where there is a lack of adequate services for neurological recovery.3. The clinic has treated close to 400 patients since 2015, but there is an increasing waiting list due to space limitations.4. The clinic treats approximately 65% of children with cerebral palsy and other conditions caused by birthing complications.5. The long-term goal of the charity is to build a medical campus for neuro-rehabilitation that will house specialized medical units.6. The charity emphasizes the importance of persistence and consistency in pursuing charitable work.7. The clinic began as a small project in 2010 and has since grown to treat more patients per year.8. The charity's fundraising efforts aim to expand the facility and gain more resources for neurological recovery.9. People can learn more about the charity's work and contribute to its fundraising efforts.10. The charity's work is focused on providing much-needed neurorehabilitation services in Morocco.How to Develop Doing Your Best to Serve Those in Need As a SuperpowerMo's impact on people needing neurorehabilitation in Morocco is almost impossible to measure. He's changing lives in dramatic ways, enabling people thought to be beyond hope in a place with no such resources to have happy, more productive lives.Mo offers tips for developing the superpower of doing your best to serve those in need:* Just believe in what you are trying to do.* You just have to go for it.* It's good to have an idea that is beneficial, that is humanitarian.* It's also good to have a good start—if you are lucky to have a good start and make a first impact.* The most important is to be persistent because if you have a good impact and it doesn't end well, then all of those efforts are in vain. But if you are persistent, even if you start very small, those initial efforts and accomplishments will only grow with time. You become kind of infectious, and then more and more positive energy [flows] into the process.By following Mo's example and advice, you can make doing your best for people in need a superpower that enables you to do more good in the world.Guest-Provided ProfileMohammed (Mo) Sbai (he/him):Doctor/ Founder and CEO, The Zahra CharityAbout The Zahra Charity: US nonprofit dedicated to creating access to neurorehabilitation in Morocco, North AfricaWebsite: www.mair-rehab.com and zahracharity.orgBiographical Information: Dr. Mohammed Sbai (aka Mo) lived in Utah since 2000, when he took a faculty position at the University of Utah School of Medicine. He was trained as a clinical neuroscientist at the University of Paris (France), The Roche Institute for Molecular Biology and New Jersey Medical School. He is now part of the faculty at the U College of Health, department of physical therapy, and his work focuses on brain plasticity and its applications for neurorehabilitation. This includes collaborations with the private sector developing therapeutic solutions for stroke, brain and spinal cord injuries and Alzheimer's disease. In 2007 Mo lost his older brother (Moulay Ali), who, seven years prior, suffered a severe traumatic brain injury while driving in Morocco. The process of helping his brother recover allowed Mo to discover the tragic lack of neuro-rehabilitative services in that country. In 2009, Mo founded a Salt Lake City-based nonprofit (Zahra Charity), and thanks to the great support from the U and several other institutions, The Moulay Ali Institute for Rehabilitation (MAIR) opened its doors to patients on September 1st, 2015. MAIR is now a thriving outpatient clinic where patients from all over Morocco are admitted for neurorehabilitative care. This success necessitates expansion of the MAIR clinic in order to accommodate the growing number of patients seeking therapy. The fundraising efforts for this ambitious expansion project are ongoing. The project also involves establishing the first neurorehabilitation curriculum in the country.
