Reviews

4.6 out of 5 stars from 45 ratings
  • Bad news: The audio quality in the 2018/early 2019 episodes is pretty bad. Notifications need to be turned off by the host and his guests. They are intrusive and after the second interruption, I will stop listening.

    Good news: The information is very good and if you can put up with it, you'll get a lot out of it.

  • I've listened to over 90% of the episodes. I've learned a lot. It's helped give me ideas for patients. It's allowed to find others who also treat pain and have great ideas.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Healing Through Neuroplasticity and Authentic Connection
Q: What is a neuroplastician and how does it apply in practical terms?
A neuroplastician teaches people how their brains work and then translates that theory into practical coaching programs that drive real behavioral changes, moving from theory to tangible leadership and personal development.
Letters That Healed a Father and Son
Q: And somewhere along the way, there are several major evolutions. Can you give us a brief overview about how it all seemed to start, how things evolved, how they finished?
Donald describes starting the book as a personal project during his 30s, moving from rebellion and intellectual clashes with his father to a deep, reflective practice of letter-writing that ultimately allowed them to understand and validate each other. The evolution culminates in a powerful bond where his dying father influenced his sense of identity, and the letters became a lasting legacy.
Connecting Thought Patterns, Immunity and Healing
Q: How does Rituality fit into clinical treatment, and how can people access it?
Rituality provides structured, meaningful rituals to calm the nervous system and promote connection; people can access services through rituality.com and related pathways, with coaching available nationwide and medical services in California.
Connecting Thought Patterns, Immunity and Healing
Q: What led you to embrace a total-body, integrative approach in psychiatry?
I trained in a traditional psychiatry track but progressively adopted holistic methods and non-medication strategies after seeing how many conditions respond to addressing root causes and lifestyle factors, not just meds.
Becoming Empowered: A Personal Journey Out of Addiction
Q: What pulled you out of it? How did you stop?
After recognizing the severity of his life situation in jail and receiving counseling, Jay was referred to a treatment program that helped him start his recovery journey.
