Addiction is often misunderstood not just by the public, but also by clinicians. It challenges us as individuals, families, and communities.

“Now the tragedy, in one sense is a tragedy, that often people only become open when they've suffered horribly when that is both the tragedy of trauma, but also the promise. It's one thing to be trauma informed. It's another thing to inform our experience of trauma with some kind of courage and some kind of hopefulness for profound change. That's what's got to happen. If that can happen, then maybe out of all this contentiousness that is present in our 21st century United States, maybe something really good can happen, but we've got to pay attention, we've got to act on it, and take responsibility.” So says Dr. James Gordon, a Harvard-educated psychiatrist, former researcher at the National Institute of Mental Health and Chairman of the White House Commission on Complementary and Alternative Medicine Policy, and a clinical professor of psychiatry and family medicine at Georgetown Medical School. He's also the founder and executive director of The Center for Mind-Body Medicine and a prolific writer on trauma. This is because he's spent the last several decades traveling the globe and healing population-wide psychological trauma. He and 130 international faculty have brought this program to populations as diverse as refugees from wars in the Balkans, the Middle East, and Africa; firefighters and U.S. military personnel and their families; student/parent/teacher school shooting survivors; and more. I met Jim many years ago, and he's become a constant resource for me in my own life and work, particularly because he packages so many of the exercises that work in global groups into his book Transforming Trauma: The Path to Hope and Healing. We talk about some of those exercises today—soft belly breathing, shaking and dancing, drawing—along with why it's so important to address and complete the trauma cycle in areas of crisis. This is the first part of a four-part series, and James does an excellent job of setting the stage.

This episode is brought to you by Rupa Health, InsideTracker, and Cozy Earth.Trauma isn't just psychological; it impacts us all the way down to our genes. And those epigenetic changes don't just stay with us—they can be passed down through several generations. That means the trauma we may be working through isn't just our own, it's the stress and trauma of our parents, grandparents, and even great grandparents. I know this might sound bleak, but today's conversation on The Doctor's Farmacy with Dr. James Gordon is about healing from all types of trauma to find greater mind-body peace.

Author Peter E. Murphy looks forward to celebrating his 50th year of sobriety after waking up in a gutter when he was 21. He has since fashioned a life of service to others by leading hundreds of workshops for thousands of writers and teachers in the United States and abroad. In addition to being the founder of Murphy Writing of Stockton University, Peter has been a consultant to numerous organizations including The Corporation for Public Broadcasting, Educational Testing Service and countless school districts from coast to coast. He has been an educational advisor to three PBS television series on poetry with Bill Moyers. And after his second visit to the Rose Garden where he was recognized as a Distinguished Teacher by the White House Commission on Presidential Scholars in the Arts, Bill and Hillary Clinton added Peter to their Christmas card list. Peter began writing his memoir in progress, "Once Upon a Time You Lived in a Castle," to better understand how his mother's suicide and ongoing abuse by a priest led to his addiction to alcohol as a teenager. Writing in general and poetry in particular led Peter from New York City, where he grew up, back to Wales, where he was born, and where he decided to rise out of the gutter and change his life.

Trauma comes to all of us, and its consequences can be terrible. That’s the truth and the bad news. The good news is that all of us can use tools of self-awareness and self-care to heal our trauma and, indeed, to become healthier and more whole than we’ve ever been. If we accept the pain that trauma inflicts, it can open our minds and bodies to healing change. -- Dr. James Gordon As a second-year psychiatric medical student at Harvard University, Dr. James Gordon hit a wall. Although both his father and grandfather had been physicians before him, he was no longer sure why he was there. He was troubled by the way he saw patients being treated, feeling the focus too cut and dried, and missing the loving approach that he had envisioned and hoped for in medicine. But he was graced at this time to meet a kind and compassionate professor and psychotherapist in Robert Coles, who offered Gordon the opportunity to discover and embrace parts of himself that he had forgotten or not even known. Further, Coles shared his work with kids stricken by poverty and racism in New Orleans, kindling the flame of Gordon’s own life-long passion for taking trauma healing to all walks of life – especially the world’s most troubled areas. “Suffering is the soil in which wisdom and compassion grow; it is the school from which we graduate, committed to healing others’ hurt.” This pivotal time in Dr. Gordon’s life, and the healing journey that called him to serve others, set him on the road to becoming a world-renowned expert on healing population-wide psychological trauma, anxiety, and depression. His approach marries Western medical knowledge with alternative medicine methods and those of the world’s indigenous and spiritual traditions. A proponent of “self-care as the true primary-care,” Dr. Gordon founded the nonprofit Center for Mind-Body Medicine (CMBM) in 1991, in Washington, D.C., with an initial mission “to make self-awareness, self-care, and group support central to all healthcare” by training health care professionals with the tools of stress- and trauma-relief. But similar to his experience hitting a wall in medical school, he soon recognized the limits of the medical establishment in embracing holistic modalities – and so he extended his work and offerings beyond the walls of traditional health care practice, going directly out to communities and creating a version of medicine for the people, by the people. Through the CMBM, Dr. Gordon has created training programs of mind-body healing that extend far and wide – not just for health professionals, but for traumatized populations in the world’s hot spots such as the Balkans, the Middle East, Haiti, and Africa; for teachers and families in Broward County, FL after the Parkland school shootings; for victims of Hurricanes Katrina and Harvey; for U.S. vets returning from Iraq and Afghanistan; and even for the U.S. Capitol police. He and the CMBM faculty have traveled worldwide, embracing a model of creating healing communities by training the trainers, or “Teaching Thousands to Heal Millions.” Dr. Gordon leads an international faculty of 130 who have trained more than 6,000 clinicians, educators, and community leaders. In turn, these trainers have brought CMBM’s therapeutic and educational program to many hundreds of thousands of traumatized and stressed adults and children, as well as people confronting the challenges of anxiety, depression, and chronic and life-threatening illnesses. An early pioneer in using mind-body medicine to heal, Dr. Gordon contends that we are all, in the end, affected by trauma. (Never more true than today, he adds.)  But he also believes that “all of us, regardless of age or educational level, have a great and largely untapped capacity to help and heal ourselves and one another…We may think we don’t have the answers, but each of us has a part inside us that knows.” His experience serving the world’s many traumatized populations has reinforced his commitment to supporting individuals’ own inherent capacities for self-healing. “Going through difficult situations myself, and coming out the other side has taught me that I could be a midwife to this process [in others]; I’m not there to fix people.” Regular meditation on the breath, as an antidote to “flight or fight” mode, is a critical component of Gordon’s three-fold approach to trauma self-healing work – all sessions, groups, and meetings begin and end with this important component. Another key component, sourced from indigenous forms of healing, is sharing in community. “As we bring parts of ourselves online that have been suppressed or ignored, we become more complete and whole human beings – part of that is wanting to share ourselves with others. It’s built into our DNA.” Characterizing himself as “a free spirit and a bit of a troublemaker,” Dr. Gordon volunteered, after his Harvard training, at the Haight-Ashbury Free Medical Clinic in the 60s, attended Woodstock as a volunteer physician, and then spent 10 years as a National Institutes of Mental Health (NIMH) researcher, where he developed the first national program for runaway and homeless kids.   In 1973 he had a powerful encounter with a London-based osteopath, acupuncturist, naturopath, and meditation master of East Indian background who “opened universes” to him, most importantly the value of “expressive meditations” that Dr. Gordon incorporates as high energy “Shaking & Dancing” to fast, rhythmic music in his Mind-Body Skills trainings. “These were the tools of the shamans of Siberia and of ancient healers and traditions around the world -- archaic techniques of ecstasy.” They also have proven value for reestablishing equilibrium for stressed and trauma-frozen bodies. Bringing his healing work to populations from the Eastern and indigenous traditions that seeded many of his initial explorations, Gordon has shared Shaking and Dancing with a group of recent Tibetan refugees in Dharamsala, India, the home of the Dalai Lama. He also has worked closely with tribal elders, teachers, and clinicians on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservations in South Dakota to create a program that has joined Mind-Body Medicine with traditional Lakota healing, effectively addressing youth suicide. In addition to his work with the CMBM program, Dr. Gordon has been Director of Mind-Body Studies and clinical professor in the departments of psychiatry and family medicine at Georgetown Medical School and Georgetown University since 1980.

In this week’s episode, Amrit interviews Dr. Patrick Gentempo, referred to as the “Philosopher-Entrepreneur”, chiropractor, a star in the world of health, wellness and business, international speaker and best-selling author of the book “Your Stand is Your Brand”. He is the founder and CEO of Action Potential Holdings, Inc. as well as the CEO of Revealed Films. "Everyone has a philosophy, the only question is whether they know it or not.”We all have philosophies we live by. We may have adopted those philosophies intentionally but, in many cases, they may simply be premises passed down to us by some family member, teacher, or preacher. Whatever the case, the philosophies we live by drive our behaviors and, ultimately, dictate our outcomes, so it is important to identify what they are.Dr. Patrick Gentempo and Amrit dive deep into Patrick’s application of philosophy as a practical tool for human achievement and his successful book “Your Stand is Your Brand” on how deciding “who to be” will revolutionize not only your business but your life too. If you would like to have access to his book “Your Stand is Your Brand” to supercharge your growth in business, and in your personal life, please go to: https://inspiredevolution.com/recommends/patrick-gentempo/Patrick refers to three branches of five in philosophy - metaphysics, epistemology and ethics - when doing philosophical exploration. Metaphysics is your view of reality, epistemology is the theory of knowledge and ethics is the one that provides you with a code of values that will be a guide to your actions and drive you towards your purpose. Through philosophical explorations you can identify existing contradictions in your own life. If you identify your contradictions, you can solve them, and then surpass actual challenges and pass onto the next level becoming a better version of yourself. He refers to Ayn Rand when talking about contradictions. She stated that “contradictions” lead to destruction. When you have contradictions in your basic philosophical premises the only possible result is destruction and the amount of destruction is relevant to the level of that contradiction. They talk about the importance of taking a stand and never taking opportunities over values no matter how good an opportunity may look. When an opportunity is in conflict with your values, it is not good for you. Taking a stand is the most crucial thing you can do to become more successful than ever. Your stand must be based on our own philosophical premises, key values, and purpose, and they must be aligned. And if they are in sync, you will have the power to grow in your personal life and your business too.“When you take a stand, it means you understand what your values are. That takes a clarifying exercise to know which they are making sure you don't have any contradiction”In regards to starting a business, the whole idea of a business is giving it a soul; giving it a philosophy. That means knowing and clarifying its values, its purpose, its vision, all together becoming the heartbeat and the soul of the business. When you and everyone else operate in alignment with those values magic happens, but when you have contradictions your business begins to perish. In addition, there is an amazing conversation about finding your “Miles Davis” and the importance of creative destruction.Finding your “Miles Davis”, means going back, figuring out the pure state of you, understanding who this person is by identity and expressing it out to the world to the fullest, with all your passion and heart - “Miles Davis was known for being able to express the purest expression of your soul”Patrick discovered what it meant to find your “Miles Davis” back at Eleven Madison Park Restaurant, and uses “The Story of the Phoenix” as a metaphor for the concept of creative destruction.The owners of Eleven Madison Park Restaurant have their own values, recognize contradictions and resolve them, and continue to thrive by taking a stand every time they recognize them. Over a period of years, Eleven Madison Park was a Michelin three-star restaurant, but they took it a step further. They were voted the number one restaurant in the world. Shortly after receiving this amazing award, they closed the restaurant down in order to “burn it down” to start from scratch and reinvent themselves. Whatever comes next is, with no doubt, going to be explosive and financially successful. They were creatively destructive like the story of the phoenix. The phoenix is a mythical bird that dies in the fire and then emerges out of the ashes vibrant, youthful, and more beautiful than it was before. It repeats this cycle over and over again. Its death was tragic, because something beautiful was destroyed, yet out of that event arose something more beautiful, spiritual and powerful. This story applies to Eleven Madison Park, but can also apply to you or your business. It means finding your “Miles Davis” and that you are willing to let go of how things are for the purpose of not getting stuck and creating something greater.“Find your values, figure out what you stand for in your life, and when you are willing to take that stand, then you will attract all that was never coming to you before”Having core values is key. Values are fundamental for fulfillment and purpose. In this episode Patrick and Amrit share exercises that will help you figure them out.If you want to uncover your values and live in alignment to your purpose with Amrit, please go to: Core Values Exercise - https://youtu.be/FwOTRSRHnM4Purpose helps you put your events and values in perspective, refocus on the things that are meaningful to you when things go wrong, and to move ahead and enjoy life. It is meaningful to the self and subsequently for the world as well; it helps us connect and accomplish big things together. It differentiates you from other animals. You have the power to choose a purpose, animals don’t, they live in survival mode. To have a fully human experience, you NEED to be PURPOSE driven. Having a purpose makes you unique, it makes you feel fulfilled and helps you navigate this world with so much more grace. “My purpose is to enliven humanity, so my goal is to help people wake up and expand their lives through understanding and applying philosophy.”Level up your life with unlimited access to every Mindvalley Quest Program (over 30+ programs).

Welcome to another episode of The Keto Naturopath!If you want to know what is true and accurate, well-researched, and effective in terms of supplements for a given condition, there is only one reference that can offer you that. It is the eight-and-a-half pound book, Nutritional Medicine, and stands as a definitive resource second to none. Nutritional Medicine is a science-based textbook, the result of 36 years of research by renowned authority on nutritional medicine, Dr. Alan R. Gaby.This podcast is about Dr. Alan Gaby, the person who created that book. He comes from a different era and thinks in a way that is rare to find today. As a physician, he documented all the work he did in terms of research and treating the patients in his practice over the decades. So, if you want to know what works, what does not, and why, Dr.Gaby is the one to talk to. He truly knows what he is talking about. Dr. Karl recently interviewed Dr. Alan Graby. That interview will be coming up in a subsequent podcast. Dr. Gaby embodies the notion that real knowledge comes from the work of both experience and research.The Naturopathic Program at Bastyr UniversityDr. Karl and Dr. Alan Gaby met when Dr. Karl was in the Naturopathic Program at Bastyr University from 1993 to 1998. Alan would show up at various courses to give case reviews. He was an intimidating character because he was always so well-briefed on every aspect of whatever he spoke about. The father of Nutritional MedicineDr. Alan Gaby is now considered the father of Nutritional Medicine. A tough task-masterAlan was a tough task-master with a unique approach to teaching. He set a high bar with specific requirements. He required an accumulative working knowledge in the minds of his students and expected them to recall all the information he had ever shared with them at any given time.Orthomolecular MedicineDr. Alan Gaby brought in orthomolecular medicine, which is the use of supplements. That approach is not appreciated much by most conventional or allopathic medical practitioners, however.The White House Commission of Alternative MedicineDr. Gaby testified before the White House Commission of Alternative Medicine. He has also testified in many other cases worldwide about the supplemental use of various things. And he has written several books. His own manDr. Alan Gaby is his own man. He has been on a quest to follow his curiosity about using natural medicine to work with various conditions.A famine of nutritional deficienciesWe have a famine of nutritional deficiencies in the US today. We have all kinds of conditions induced by our diet because we do not eat real food anymore. More important now than ever beforeThat is why the work of Dr. Alan Gaby is more important now than ever before. It cuts through the noise from all the false claims about various supplements available currently on the internet.Links:Join Our Facebook Group Keto NaturopathSubscribe to our YouTube ChannelDownload our Free Keto Foods List,Visit our partnersBuy Keto Friendly Dry Farm WinesGet your KetoMoJo Here and test your ketones.Dr.Gaby’s Nutritional Medicine Book

Raven Keyes – Medical Reiki: A Groundbreaking Approach to Using Energy Medicine for Challenging TreatmentsAired Thursday, March 18, 2021, at 5:00 PM PST / 8:00 PM EST Through a series of synchronicities and wonderful friends, the practice of Reiki became a spiritual accelerant in my life in the 1990's. This form of energy healing changed my life and perspective in so many ways. In January 2001, I had the privilege of testifying before the White House Commission on Complementary and Alternative Medicine who were considering the regulation and licensing of Reiki and other energy healing modalities. Those of us who testified convinced them of the efficacy and sincerity of our practices and they accepted our position. This still left a gap between what we did and acceptance as an adjunct to traditional allopathic medicine. This gap is being bridged by the pioneering work and dedication of my guest this week on Vox Novus, my teacher and my friend, Raven Keyes.Raven Keyes is an internationally recognized Reiki Master Teacher who has worked with surgeons and other health professionals for many years. She is the author of the award-winning book, The Healing Power of Reiki, and was named best Reiki Master in New York by New York Magazine. She is also the founder of Medical Reiki International. Her website is https://www.ravenkeyesmedicalreiki.com/ and she joins me this week to share her path and her new book, Medical Reiki: A Groundbreaking Approach to Using Energy Medicine for Challenging Treatments.Visit the Vox Novus Show Page https://omtimes.com/iom/shows/vox-novus/Connect with Victor Fuhrman at http://victorthevoice.com/#RavenKeyes #MedicalReiki #VoxNovus #VictorFuhrman

Some 30 years ago I had the opportunity to attend a medical conference and heard a presentation by Dr. Alan Gaby. Truthfully, this event marked a turning point in my career destiny for reasons that we will touch upon in this interview. But suffice it to say that I have a great deal of gratitude in my heart for the dedication to the art of medicine that so characterizes Dr. Gaby’s efforts over so many productive years.  Dr. Alan Gaby received his undergraduate degree from Yale University, his M.S. in biochemistry from Emory University, and his M.D. from the University of Maryland. He was in private practice for 19 years, specializing in nutritional medicine. During that time he developed a wide spectrum of innovations that remain in widespread use today. He is past-president of the American Holistic Medical Association and has given expert testimony to the White House Commission on Complementary and Alternative Medicine on the cost-effectiveness of nutritional supplements. He is the author of Preventing and Reversing Osteoporosis (Prima, 1994) and The Doctor’s Guide to Vitamin B6 (Rodale Press, 1984), and the co-author of The Patient’s Book of Natural Healing (Prima, 1999). Dr. Gaby has written numerous scientific papers in the field of nutritional medicine. He has been the contributing medical editor for theTownsend Letter for Doctors since 1985, and served as contributing editor for Alternative Medicine Review from 1996 to 2010. Over the past 36 years, Dr. Gaby has developed a computerized database of more than 28,000 individually chosen medical journal articles related to the field of natural medicine. He was professor of nutrition and a member of the clinical faculty at Bastyr University in Kenmore, WA from 1995 to 2002. He has appeared on the CBS Evening News. In 2010, Dr. Gaby completed a 30-year project: the textbook Nutritional Medicine. Dr. Gaby has culled more than 40,000 research studies and evidence from his clinical practice to create Nutritional Medicine, which discusses more than 400 different health conditions and disorders. It also contains 60 chapters on individual therapeutic agents (vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and other natural substances) including biochemical effects, clinical indications, signs and symptoms of deficiency, adverse effects, drug interactions, nutrient interactions, and dosage and administration. Chapters on fundamentals of nutritional medicine (including dietary fundamentals, food additives, reactive hypoglycemia, food allergy, “sub­laboratory” hypothyroidism, and candidiasis) are also included. Nutritional Medicine is a foundational cornerstone and should be on the desk of every healthcare practitioner, in my opinion. Importantly, we now have the second edition of Nutritional Medicine, which includes all of the information from the first edition with additions and modifications based on new research.  I encourage all of you to visit Dr. Gaby’s website where you’ll find sample chapters from this newly revised text.
