Turning Trauma into Purpose: Sam Peterson's Journey from Battlefield to Healing - #34 - Oct 18, 2025
Q: What makes your treatment protocol different from traditional PTSD/TBI care, and how do you sequence therapies like ketamine, TMS, and HBOT?
The approach starts with reducing neuroinflammation (e.g., via ketamine) to reset the brain, followed by targeted neurostimulation and supportive therapies like HBOT and talk therapy to rebuild neural networks and improve executive function.
Turning Trauma into Purpose: Sam Peterson's Journey from Battlefield to Healing - #34 - Oct 18, 2025
Q: Can you walk us through your personal journey from bomb technician to founder of Patriot Power Up and Mind Spa Denver?
Sam describes turning pain from battlefield injuries into a mission to help others, transitioning into leadership roles at Mind Spa and Patriot Power Up while prioritizing rapid, evidence-informed treatments for veterans.
Brainwaves & Breakthroughs: tACS in Psychiatry - A Conversation with Dr. Elyamani - #35 - Nov 1, 2025
Q: Which disorders or symptoms seem most responsive to TACS based on current evidence and expert opinion?
Symptoms linked to distinct brain networks, such as depressive fronto-limbic circuits or cognitive and memory disturbances in schizophrenia, may be promising targets. A symptom-based or brain-state-based approach may identify subgroups within disorders where TACS can modulate relevant oscillations and improve specific symptoms rather than broad disease categories.
Brainwaves & Breakthroughs: tACS in Psychiatry - A Conversation with Dr. Elyamani - #35 - Nov 1, 2025
Q: What makes TACS distinct from TDCS and TMS in terms of mechanism and potential clinical impact?
TACS aims to mimic brain rhythms by delivering oscillating currents, thereby entraining neural activity without directly triggering action potentials, which could help modulate dysfunctional networks. Its strength lies in targeting specific brain states and networks rather than just increasing or decreasing overall excitability, offering a route toward biomarker-guided, personalized therapy.
Beyond Chemical Imbalance: New Frontiers in Psychiatry with Dr. Theodore Henderson - #37
Q: Could you help us understand different technologies that people may not be familiar with that could help conditions like depression?
Infrared photobiomodulation activates mitochondrial energy production and growth factors, promoting neuroplasticity; ketamine provides rapid neuroplastic changes via NMDA receptor pathways; combining these modalities can yield synergistic effects, potentially enhancing outcomes beyond each therapy alone.
