I loved when she said « I feel sorry for people in the rheumatologist’s office who have just been told this is what you have, this is your life sentence and you’re going to have this for life » How lovely to hear that from a doctor. I would love to have such a doctor!
I think Dr. Hyman is the most honest, transparent, vulnerable doctor in this space. To come out and speak on your true pain so plainly shows a depth of character and bravery I didn't anticipate. This content makes me enjoy him so much more.
What an insightful conversation! As a Functional Medicine Nurse Practitioner - I value the thought provoking clinical pearls both Dr Sara and Dr Mark shared. As a woman who has been battling my own autoimmune conditions for years - I absolutely love the hope both of you have provided to all the listeners. I tell my patients every single day - our cells, our microbiome - are listening. They hear our thoughts. We have the power to change our physiology. We need to dig deeper and truly understand the "why" behind the dis--ease. Thank you for this!
I had a very traumatic childhood. Filled with anger and uncertainty. No divorce. I achieved high academic results. It makes no difference. Revenge is a dish best served cold, so when they thought I was a real failure, I finally did what I wanted. I had a load of kids, married a great guy they thought was thick (but wasn’t!) and it was the sweetest moment of all!! The greatest middle finger. Now I have Keto too and the circle of happiness is complete. I was the same lovely girl I always was, but now I could say, “yep, that’s me!” And not look over my shoulder for approval. Great video!! 🎉❤😅😊❤
I didn't even realize I had childhood trauma that I had never addressed, until I started watching this. Ten minutes into this video and all these tears are coming up seemingly from nowhere, and these memories have come flooding back of my mom being depressed and sleeping all the time and my father being an empty, emotionless shell of a human being that never interacted with me, unless it was to yell at me for something. I didn't think I had childhood pain, because to this day, I love them both very much, and harbor no resentment. They each had their struggles, and they were doing the best they knew how. Now I need to figure out how to heal those hurts. I'm not sure I want to feel these emotions, but if it helps to heal me physically, maybe I should.
Trying to convince my PCP that most of my health issues at 68 having to do with my crappy childhood is like teaching English to a frog. Thanks to you, Dr. Hyman, my journey back to health started about three years back starting with your 10 day detox.
Look into "The Myth of Normal". He goes into how stress is the root of the vast majority of our illnesses. He doesn't focus on childhood trauma, but society at-large, but the same principals apply. There are resources speak to how the nervous system remembers trauma and there appears to be links to the Vagus Nerve. Doctors treat the symptoms. You need to address the trauma through mental work. It is hard, but worth it. Best wishes...
(Tho I’m sorry you had one) I’m So glad you referred to your “crappy childhood” here because I’m so grateful to the Crappy Childhood Fairy here for very useful modalities that could form a key element to this “dashboard” that Drs Sara and Mark are talking about.
Yes, i feel for-with you, same here with my doctor, she is like 'you can get over it', and i'm working at it since long, doing it alone isn't simple, depending how those 'act' that i depend on in life, i wish i had my health, i would live alone & realise my happiness... with all i know-realise-learned now, that is... Your rexpression (english frog) i understood, it was funny in a sad situation & so true. greetings from Belgium
Thank you both for all your guidance. You have both helped to point me in the direction of functional medicine. Very shortly after graduating from chiropractic school I was broken by just how few people we could help with manipulative and physical therapies alone. So many who come to see us are suffering from MS, Lupus, Fibro, Hashis, neuroinflammatory conditions, depression, anxiety, and metabolic syndromes that our typical approaches do nothing to address. I've been studying for about a year with functional medicine CEs and it has radically changed my approach to patients and improved their outcomes. Please keep doing all you guys do!
I completely agree! My traumatic/ stressful childhood and even into adulthood MOST DEFINITELY has contributed to my ill health. From asthma, to reflux, and anxiety/ depression and struggling with my weight ALL of my life, to diabetes t2 at 29 and infertility, to a miscarriage. Yeah, definitely. I still and will always love my parents. And thank God, through fervent prayer and through His intervention with them, I now have a wonderful relationship with them that started at 36/37yrs of age. But, their bad decisions have both made me the resilient, strong woman I am, but also a very sickly one.
I love both of these doctors and appreciate their contributions so much. I do want to put out there, that I get what they were saying about “talk therapy” but the mainstream is going to take the statement literally. Psychotherapy is much more than talk therapy these days. “Talking” in therapy is also about learning to create psychological flexibility and reframe self sabotaging distortions. It’s about sounding out actions you may need to take to create healthy boundaries or leave an abusive situation. It’s about learning techniques around calming your nervous system and gravitating towards self compassion …. Learning to shift from the wound into the healer in your personal way. Learning about how you were conditioned from your early life or coping mechanisms no longer serving you can be incredibly liberating when you connect with where and when they took root. And yes…. I am very excited to look at this in a holistic perspective that combines psychedelics and other modalities Dr. Sara mentioned. I am anxiously awaiting the day we all can access these in an affordable and safe way. In the meantime, I don’t think we should be making a blanket statement about psychotherapy being useless. Thanks for your generous insight!
LOVED this interview! Learned so much. Now, at age 65, my new bucket list includes Kripalu and Psilocybin. Healing is a lifelong process. Thank you so much for everything you give.
Always helpful when ppl get real and willing to share dark and painful experiences from their childhood which can be helpful for those less evolved in their recovery.

The healing that I have seen using these meds, is unlike anything I could have imagined. Thank you both for bringing this information to the masses. It truly is changing lives!

I love your analysis. There is so much that connects I found myself saying YES, YES THATS ME! I identify and almost know some of this is true already. The only trouble I, as a Christain have is the hallucinating drugs. Now don't get me wrong, if it works ...IT WORKS. But in my past the solution I found (and most will not agree because they won't do the commitment) is, Complete commitment to God in prayer. WAITING ON GOD and taking my trauma to him to leave it was my path to healing. It works if you are sincere and you truly LEAVE IT. The problem reinfects itself if you backslide and feel you no longer find favor with God. Then you begin a new trauma to infect yourself with. That's why the Bible says bring it to the Lord in prayer.

All those are high in histamine which I'm trying to lower my intake at the moment. Histamine is in most foods ad I'm having blocked sinuses from ingesting it. Frustrating. Pear and apple are good.

@@Joseph-wf4qg Don't spread misinformation. Spice allergies occur in up to 2 percent of the population. The most problematic spices for allergy sufferers are celery, garlic, cinnamon, sesame, tumeric, onion, and mustard. Mustard allergy is the most common among the spice allergies. Black pepper and vanilla have also been reported to cause an allergic reaction.
Thank you. This is such an interesting discussion. Thank you to your guest and yourself for such honesty in regard to your personal lives and healing. It has given me great hope for a better future. 😊
Really great conversation. I’m awaiting my Function Health results and I’ve been doing Ketamine therapy the last couple months, so this was super relevant to me. I hope to see you two collaborating again.
Dr. Hyman, What are the things to steer clear of concerning makeup. I am asking some of the well known Functional Med Docs, and would like your opinion too,
Thank you for teaching all of us . My mom had scleroderma. ( CREST ) I have Hashimoto thyroid, Gerd , Lupus Psoriasis , and joint pain . I am going to follow your clean living / diet . Thanks for information Mary Drummond 67 year old Obese weigh 276 pounds . White Female
Where do you suggest we go to in San Diego? Any great functional medicine facilities? Joint issues…can’t use my hands for much and have pain always. Previous very healthy male…surf, basketball, workout, eat “clean”, etc… Thanks 🙏
My life was like a 1950s Father knows Best episode. My parents were married their entire life. They were church going people. My mother a Sunday school teacher my father an user in the church. My mother never worked outside the house. She was a stay at home mom preparing all the meals, a bagged lunch for me at school and a snack when I got home. NO abuse and I ended up ALL MESSED UP. What's up with that?
We all live in a broken world as a result of original sin - therefore we are all vulnerable to sin and disordered behaviors around us all - ask Jesus to help you find the right road. Bless you!
We were all duped into and raised by a 'worldview' that reduced humans and all other life to capital, to extractable resources that don't have a soul or spirit. We belong in a web of interrelationships--you yourself are a community of incredible organisms living and trying to work together to bring about health and wholeness and connection to the rest of life. If we can remember other Worldviews and knowledge systems (many that have lived and thrived in Indigenous communities around the world), models that centre around caring, sharing and respect, deep reciprocity, kinship, equality, that remember we need each other and this earth to be healthy, balanced, cared for, diverse, loving, etc. Apply these same values inward to yourself because you contain/are a divine community. As within so without. All the groups of beings, including nature, that have been demeaned and diminished by colonial-capitalism, are the very same groups that have known and lived in harmony in the past. Remember you are divine and you belong in community, inside and outside, and take the steps to find out what needs healing in you, because the systems that raised us, especially in the western, white world, have abused us all.
You needed emotional connection..presence from parents…parents doing the right thing to meet your physical needs isn’t enough of your weren’t seen, heard and communicated with how you felt.
Ace test 2 but, while listening I remembered my Dad had a heart attack when I was about 5. My Mom went to work because she didn't know if he would be around. My twin I where sent to school early and taught by Nuns 1st and 2nd grade. I think my score should be more then two. I am happy that I was able to do better for my children.
They mentioned on this podcast that the ace score is not all inclusive. Only you know your circumstances. I scored 3 but being in a very religious family where apppearances were more important than reality and church came first and there were always people to please and serve i can see in myself and my siblings the health consequences. So glad i could be more attentive for my kids and allow them to live authenticly and not be stuck in a box serving others in order to please.
Yes, Dr. Hyman is very knowledgeable, genuine and authentic. Functional medicine is traditional. But... accessibility? The MA clinic accepts no insurance, charges $2,000 fot initial visit, another $3,000-7,'000 for those comprehansive tests. Luxury for most. This is boutique medicine, profitable health empires for the 1% .
I resonate with her so much. Early 30s feeling too young to feel this old, 6 ACEs, Hashimotos, have one child, pre diabetes, etc It’s a lot and it’s an invisible burden
This information is not new. Forty years ago, my endocrinologist told me my disease was triggered by a traumatic childhood event. I knew he was right, Of course the, stress effects on the immune & central system interacts with genetic predispositions (high load in my family).
Many can identify with some trauma (drama) in childhood. Some have had none. As someone with rare chronic genetic conditions there were so many that tried to pin my symptoms on “trauma”. Totally false for me - and actually pretty damaging for those seeking definitive answers with accurate diagnosis, etc.. Also some have had a ton of trauma and are perfectly healthy. Just my experience on the other side of this subject.
There needs to be real recognition of how much damage antibiotics can do to the digestive tract. Obviously we need antibiotics, but they should be used with caution and probably combined with probiotics and antifungals.
I believe trauma is a huge factor for sure, but back in our parents/grandparents' time, their parents did things to them that would land them in jail today. To say that ACE scores are completely responsible for the rise of autoimmune disease in our modern world is not correct. I'm not sure if this video is arguing for a 'majority cause is ACE scores or not' (didn't have time to listen to it all), but I have a pretty high ACE score, but also I have huge issues with gut permeability due to bacterial/fungal/parasite infections. Getting to the emotions is key, but also delving into the physical causes is also necessary. Ideally, someone should be treating both. After all, Hippocrates has the famous saying, 'All diseases begin in the gut.' Our world is absolutely filled with gut-wrecking things nowadays, from pesticides/herbicides/forever chemicals, antibiotics AND anti-biotic-resistant microbes, food irradiation, ultra-sanitization, abundance of nutrient-poor foods, etc etc.
Yes I was in early stages of pregnancy when hubby lost his job..our baby was born three holes in his heart. He is now handicapped. There was an uncle of hubby's family too who had one hole in heart. He also got excema and allergic to apple juice. He is fine now but he started having epilepsy at age 30.. he was living elsewhere and stressed had to remove him from where he was living. My husband and I both had fighting parents which has affected my heart with racing pulse. Too much stress. I have arthritis now. Had melanoma cancer on leg too much sunburn as z child.
I love both of these people! but unfortunately, I disagree with the use of psychedelics. Perhaps I am biased, considering the fact psychedelics left me with severe OCD.
Hi Dr. Mark it sounds like you had a good time being a cowboy in Argentina, you can have the horses I do not have good luck with them. Listening to the two of you talk about how our life experiences affect our health I wonder how true this is? I believe what Carl Jung said, that we are not what happened to us, but what we wish to become. I grew up in a home where there was a lot of abuse from a sibling, and I am quite healthy, and always have been healthy except right now I am about twenty pounds overweight, which I am trying to lower. Like your show Mark it keeps me informed.
I have an ACE score of 10 and desperately want to work on all this (and am doing all I can on my own), but it takes money and access + I have serious contraindications to psychedelics because of my genetic connective tissue disorder. Nobody ever seems to have anything real to offer me. I am at wit's end. Talk therapy has been a nightmare. I have the most severe dissociative disorder on the spectrum of those disorders and amnesia barriers also are not helping. I wish videos like this would address access barriers because the idea that we can either "carry it around or heal it" leaves a lot of us in the cold.
Hyperthyroid can be from Graves Disease. Hypothyroid is usually Hashimoto's, but Hashi's can go either direction, it's usually known to be hypo, but have a sister-in-law who's levels can be high or low.. I think doctors say you can have thyroid issues from other causes than autoimmune. Having grown up near Chernobyl, for example. Or thyroid cancer. I imagine there are other ways to get thyroid problems.
There are amazingly effective trauma informed treatments that you need to share with your readers, rather than just diss all therapy. MDMA treatment is not the only effective treatment. EMDR is one of multiple somatically-based treatments that really help people who are suffering with trauma. I really appreciated your conversation! But please try to be more informed about psychological treatment research.
Loved the video except where you scoffed at Counselling as we call it in Australia as it has turned my life around and the lives of my children, Incidently diet change was part of the process.
I think she scoffed because of the lower success rate of talk therapy. Most people don't usually think it's only 30% successful. She didn't say it never works. In your case, it did. I guess you are amongst that 30%.
I really like all the things you share, but I can't imagine that psychedelic drugs can help anyone. I wish I had not tryed them as a teen. I feel they are really bad for your brain and emotions. Since my experience experience in my teens, I'm scared of them. I love being able to use my brain without any such influence. I have had a lot of trauma, but such psychedelics would not help me and I can't imagine it helping anyone really! I think it's possible to find good results without the chemical help! I know I have.
Talk therapy, or cognitive based therapy is only one model. DBT, where you can learn emotional regulation is very successful. Please don’t make therapy out to be ineffective. As a counselor, that bothers me.
Good gawwwwd, what’s causing the problems is getting stuck in that crap. “52 years ago-more than five DECADES ago- something bad happened, that’s why I’m a mess today.” REALLY?!?! About a million and twelve really good things happened to you since: FOCUS THERE Better yet, let that shite GO. Focus FORWARD, to a better future, to the things you WANT. Every time you re-tell the story you’re reaffirming the problem. Move on. Throw away the crutches and walk freely into a beautiful future. Stop letting your PAST dictate your today and every tomorrow.
Perhaps resiliancy should also be scored (in some cases it might balance out?). For instance, divorce might be balanced by the benificence of an inteveneing mentor.
I’ve had masses of trauma throughout my life. I’ve got RA now and osteoporosis. What does one do? I’ve forgiven all I hope. Just want to die now and go Home to Jesus as I’m housebound with no help.
Dr Brooke Goldner has scientifically proven protocol. Green smoothies. Lots of variety. Paid support from her. Books. Lots of Utube videos. Free recipes. It works for most issues across the board. She is a psychiatrist as well. Addresses why people don’t do what they know they need to do to heal. Can do this for free or a good blender like vitamix helps. Work up to lots of veggies no animal products if possible socially. No weird foods. Just simple healthy greens and frozen fruits . Thousands of succeeded.
Research was done to decrease cortisol and increased testosterone simply by posturing as an ape would, beating the chest and “I’m in charge, etc. attitude”. with Wildlife biologists saw that the leader had high testosterone and low cortisol. All the followers had high cortisol low testosterone they decided to test college students andmeasured their blood. Checked cortisol and testosterone then said: “students, you’re king of the jungle or do the wonder woman pose” within minutes there was an increase in testosterone and decrease in cortisol. Posturing and attitude of mind changed the chemistry of the body. Powerfully weird.
I learned decades ago to forgive the person who hurt me in childhood. Forgiveness, as in Biblical forgiveness, requires Jesus to help us forgive. We can't do it on our own ability; Jesus in us helps us forgive. it is freeing. I love Dr. Hyman's talks about autoimmune disease. I wonder if there is a genetic basis for low Vitamin D blood levels?
I loved when she said « I feel sorry for people in the rheumatologist’s office who have just been told this is what you have, this is your life sentence and you’re going to have this for life »
How lovely to hear that from a doctor. I would love to have such a doctor!

I was raised to suppress my feelings, emotions, etc. I truly believe this is why I have my autoimmunity.

Black pepper and vanilla have also been reported to cause an allergic reaction.
Sorry, I stand corrected. My bad. I do that sometimes

I have autoimmune, cptsd and on a second course of successful ketamine therapy. Work in progress - but it is progress through action.
Loved this interview. Probably my favorite episode on this channel 💝
Appreciate you both.. Last night I wanted answers & you appeared this morning in my thread. Your given me a place to start my journey
Funny how that works, right❤!
Thank you. This is such an interesting discussion. Thank you to your guest and yourself for such honesty in regard to your personal lives and healing. It has given me great hope for a better future. 😊
Really great conversation. I’m awaiting my Function Health results and I’ve been doing Ketamine therapy the last couple months, so this was super relevant to me. I hope to see you two collaborating again.
Great video Dr Hyman
Dr. Hyman, What are the things to steer clear of concerning makeup. I am asking some of the well known Functional Med Docs, and would like your opinion too,

My life was like a 1950s Father knows Best episode. My parents were married their entire life. They were church going people. My mother a Sunday school teacher my father an user in the church. My mother never worked outside the house. She was a stay at home mom preparing all the meals, a bagged lunch for me at school and a snack when I got home. NO abuse and I ended up ALL MESSED UP. What's up with that?
We all live in a broken world as a result of original sin - therefore we are all vulnerable to sin and disordered behaviors around us all - ask Jesus to help you find the right road. Bless you!
We were all duped into and raised by a 'worldview' that reduced humans and all other life to capital, to extractable resources that don't have a soul or spirit. We belong in a web of interrelationships--you yourself are a community of incredible organisms living and trying to work together to bring about health and wholeness and connection to the rest of life. If we can remember other Worldviews and knowledge systems (many that have lived and thrived in Indigenous communities around the world), models that centre around caring, sharing and respect, deep reciprocity, kinship, equality, that remember we need each other and this earth to be healthy, balanced, cared for, diverse, loving, etc. Apply these same values inward to yourself because you contain/are a divine community. As within so without. All the groups of beings, including nature, that have been demeaned and diminished by colonial-capitalism, are the very same groups that have known and lived in harmony in the past. Remember you are divine and you belong in community, inside and outside, and take the steps to find out what needs healing in you, because the systems that raised us, especially in the western, white world, have abused us all.
They might not have nurtured you. Mom did chores and dad went to work
What did they do with the children
You needed emotional connection..presence from parents…parents doing the right thing to meet your physical needs isn’t enough of your weren’t seen, heard and communicated with how you felt.
Ace test 2 but, while listening I remembered my Dad had a heart attack when I was about 5. My Mom went to work because she didn't know if he would be around. My twin I where sent to school early and taught by Nuns 1st and 2nd grade. I think my score should be more then two. I am happy that I was able to do better for my children.
They mentioned on this podcast that the ace score is not all inclusive. Only you know your circumstances. I scored 3 but being in a very religious family where apppearances were more important than reality and church came first and there were always people to please and serve i can see in myself and my siblings the health consequences. So glad i could be more attentive for my kids and allow them to live authenticly and not be stuck in a box serving others in order to please.
Yes, Dr. Hyman is very knowledgeable, genuine and authentic. Functional medicine is traditional. But... accessibility? The MA clinic accepts no insurance, charges $2,000 fot initial visit, another $3,000-7,'000 for those comprehansive tests. Luxury for most. This is boutique medicine, profitable health empires for the 1% .
An incredible podcast. Thank you
I swear by earthing. It's not a quick fix (at least for me) but it a slow and steady one.
I resonate with her so much. Early 30s feeling too young to feel this old, 6 ACEs, Hashimotos, have one child, pre diabetes, etc
It’s a lot and it’s an invisible burden
Is there a link for the Ace test? I can’t locate it.
Excellent discussion thank you both 🙏
This is mind-blowing! ❤❤❤
What an excellent topic! Thank you! Merci beaucoup! Grazie! Muchas gracias Doctores! 🦸♀️🦸♂️❤
Great to know you were in Ecuador!!! Amazing. Greetings from Ecuador 😊 thank you for this podcast
What is the probiotic Mark said he took to reverse his gut situation?
Akkermansia
Dr Hyman, Why do you think pea protein causes issues for some autoimmune patients? I can't remember where exactly in the video you said that.
Super processed food period.
Would like to watch but toooo long draggy. Can we have a list please, a summary??
Too much cortisol perhaps?
@@taylorfausett177major clue revealed 😮
1.25 playback speed
No watch then
Watch at 1.5 speed.
You'll get used to it quickly.
He doesn't let his guest speak.
Yes agreed. Just absolutely too many cutting in times on all the varied videos. I just cannot listen past 10 minutes.
I absolutely agree. He asked her to speak 3 times and she still hasn’t
Five minutes into the interview and I see what you mean
I've always thought food could be your medicine or poison
I got the RA after menopause at 54. Not to mention the heavy stress
This information is not new. Forty years ago, my endocrinologist told me my disease was triggered by a traumatic childhood event. I knew he was right, Of course the, stress effects on the immune & central system interacts with genetic predispositions (high load in my family).
How can this be afforded since insurance isn't an option? This is a very real concern for those who need help
😢
Many can identify with some trauma (drama) in childhood. Some have had none. As someone with rare chronic genetic conditions there were so many that tried to pin my symptoms on “trauma”. Totally false for me - and actually pretty damaging for those seeking definitive answers with accurate diagnosis, etc.. Also some have had a ton of trauma and are perfectly healthy. Just my experience on the other side of this subject.
Hi all, did anyone catched the book about attachment styles? Would love to go on a deep dive of that topic- thanks in advance!
Autoimmune diseases start from gastrointestinal tract. Today's medical protocols would focus on gut health, instead of fighting symptoms only.
There needs to be real recognition of how much damage antibiotics can do to the digestive tract. Obviously we need antibiotics, but they should be used with caution and probably combined with probiotics and antifungals.
Gut was raped with the trauma
Genetics are a factor for some autoimmune conditions, it's not all gut related.
@@stavana4875it’s practically all gut related, even when there’s a genetic predisposition. Genetics don’t determine all, environment has a bigger role
@@Avi00124 The gut is not related to Rheumatoid Arthritis which is Genetic.
So where is this test link ? I don’t see it
I believe trauma is a huge factor for sure, but back in our parents/grandparents' time, their parents did things to them that would land them in jail today. To say that ACE scores are completely responsible for the rise of autoimmune disease in our modern world is not correct. I'm not sure if this video is arguing for a 'majority cause is ACE scores or not' (didn't have time to listen to it all), but I have a pretty high ACE score, but also I have huge issues with gut permeability due to bacterial/fungal/parasite infections. Getting to the emotions is key, but also delving into the physical causes is also necessary. Ideally, someone should be treating both. After all, Hippocrates has the famous saying, 'All diseases begin in the gut.' Our world is absolutely filled with gut-wrecking things nowadays, from pesticides/herbicides/forever chemicals, antibiotics AND anti-biotic-resistant microbes, food irradiation, ultra-sanitization, abundance of nutrient-poor foods, etc etc.
Go back a listen. They talked about all that and more!
Where is the link to the Ace questionnaire?
Autoimmune starts in the gut, so probiotics would be a must
Yes. Sauerkraut is a consistent within my diet.
The 3 P’s as well as fermented food are the most powerful
I am starting the gut healing protocol from microbiome labs ..its supposed to help heal leaky gut and disbyosis 😊
Grains and all the associated sprays which include the wide spectrum vegetables and fruits
What autoimmune issue does she have with her voice? Does anyone know?
How about in the womb.
I wonder if a troubled mom with a baby in the womb, affects the baby’s immune system later on in life?
Yes I was in early stages of pregnancy when hubby lost his job..our baby was born three holes in his heart. He is now handicapped. There was an uncle of hubby's family too who had one hole in heart. He also got excema and allergic to apple juice. He is fine now but he started having epilepsy at age 30.. he was living elsewhere and stressed had to remove him from where he was living. My husband and I both had fighting parents which has affected my heart with racing pulse. Too much stress. I have arthritis now. Had melanoma cancer on leg too much sunburn as z child.
It definitely does. The mom's cortisol can go through the placenta.
Yes. This is called epigenetics.
How does one find a functional MD?
I love both of these people! but unfortunately, I disagree with the use of psychedelics. Perhaps I am biased, considering the fact psychedelics left me with severe OCD.
Is it safe to do spravato treatments twice a week while having dTMS daily for 6 weeks? Also taking Prozac, Wellbutrin, Topiramate, lamictal
Where is the A score link
I couldn't find it in the comments either, but you can just Google it.
Google adverse childhood events test.
Book recommendation: Good Energy by Dr Casey Means
Hi Dr. Mark it sounds like you had a good time being a cowboy in Argentina, you can have the horses I do not have good luck with them. Listening to the two of you talk about how our life experiences affect our health I wonder how true this is? I believe what Carl Jung said, that we are not what happened to us, but what we wish to become. I grew up in a home where there was a lot of abuse from a sibling, and I am quite healthy, and always have been healthy except right now I am about twenty pounds overweight, which I am trying to lower. Like your show Mark it keeps me informed.
I have an ACE score of 10 and desperately want to work on all this (and am doing all I can on my own), but it takes money and access + I have serious contraindications to psychedelics because of my genetic connective tissue disorder. Nobody ever seems to have anything real to offer me. I am at wit's end. Talk therapy has been a nightmare. I have the most severe dissociative disorder on the spectrum of those disorders and amnesia barriers also are not helping. I wish videos like this would address access barriers because the idea that we can either "carry it around or heal it" leaves a lot of us in the cold.
Have either of you looked into Stellate Ganglion Block (SGB)
for PTSD?
Is Thyroid problems a autoimmunity disease?
Yes if it's Hashimoto's thyroiditis. It's hypothyroidism. The other reason for hypothyroidism is because of iodine deficiency.
Hyperthyroid can be from Graves Disease. Hypothyroid is usually Hashimoto's, but Hashi's can go either direction, it's usually known to be hypo, but have a sister-in-law who's levels can be high or low.. I think doctors say you can have thyroid issues from other causes than autoimmune. Having grown up near Chernobyl, for example. Or thyroid cancer. I imagine there are other ways to get thyroid problems.
There are amazingly effective trauma informed treatments that you need to share with your readers, rather than just diss all therapy. MDMA treatment is not the only effective treatment. EMDR is one of multiple somatically-based treatments that really help people who are suffering with trauma. I really appreciated your conversation! But please try to be more informed about psychological treatment research.
Can't find a link to the mentioned questionnaire ⁉️
That was what I was just coming here to comment.
Google "ACE test" several links to the questionnaire are out there.
Look in the 'Show Notes'
It's always good to listen to actual humans talking.
Loved the video except where you scoffed at Counselling as we call it in Australia as it has turned my life around and the lives of my children, Incidently diet change was part of the process.
I think she scoffed because of the lower success rate of talk therapy. Most people don't usually think it's only 30% successful. She didn't say it never works. In your case, it did. I guess you are amongst that 30%.
Mediterranean diet is a killer for me. I had to do strict ketovore.
I really like all the things you share, but I can't imagine that psychedelic drugs can help anyone. I wish I had not tryed them as a teen. I feel they are really bad for your brain and emotions. Since my experience experience in my teens, I'm scared of them. I love being able to use my brain without any such influence. I have had a lot of trauma, but such psychedelics would not help me and I can't imagine it helping anyone really! I think it's possible to find good results without the chemical help! I know I have.
Talk therapy, or cognitive based therapy is only one model. DBT, where you can learn emotional regulation is very successful. Please don’t make therapy out to be ineffective. As a counselor, that bothers me.
Good gawwwwd, what’s causing the problems is getting stuck in that crap.
“52 years ago-more than five DECADES ago- something bad happened, that’s why I’m a mess today.”
REALLY?!?!
About a million and twelve really good things happened to you since: FOCUS THERE
Better yet, let that shite GO.
Focus FORWARD, to a better future, to the things you WANT.
Every time you re-tell the story you’re reaffirming the problem.
Move on. Throw away the crutches and walk freely into a beautiful future.
Stop letting your PAST dictate your today and every tomorrow.
Hashimoto's got Thyroiditis¡!¡ 😮
I think I got that too. Diverticulitis they said 2018. I was on pain meds from 08 to 16 etc...
Perhaps resiliancy should also be scored (in some cases it might balance out?). For instance, divorce might be balanced by the benificence of an inteveneing mentor.
I’ve had masses of trauma throughout my life. I’ve got RA now and osteoporosis. What does one do? I’ve forgiven all I hope. Just want to die now and go Home to Jesus as I’m housebound with no help.
Dr Brooke Goldner has scientifically proven protocol. Green smoothies. Lots of variety. Paid support from her. Books. Lots of Utube videos. Free recipes. It works for most issues across the board. She is a psychiatrist as well. Addresses why people don’t do what they know they need to do to heal. Can do this for free or a good blender like vitamix helps. Work up to lots of veggies no animal products if possible socially. No weird foods. Just simple healthy greens and frozen fruits . Thousands of succeeded.
I live in the present, take responsibility and don’t try to blame others for your actions or problems
I been studying for this test for 61yrs. Im about to ACE this Test

Research was done to decrease cortisol and increased testosterone simply by posturing as an ape would, beating the chest and “I’m in charge, etc. attitude”. with Wildlife biologists saw that the leader had high testosterone and low cortisol. All the followers had high cortisol low testosterone they decided to test college students andmeasured their blood. Checked cortisol and testosterone then said: “students, you’re king of the jungle or do the wonder woman pose” within minutes there was an increase in testosterone and decrease in cortisol. Posturing and attitude of mind changed the chemistry of the body. Powerfully weird.
I learned decades ago to forgive the person who hurt me in childhood. Forgiveness, as in Biblical forgiveness, requires Jesus to help us forgive. We can't do it on our own ability; Jesus in us helps us forgive. it is freeing. I love Dr. Hyman's talks about autoimmune disease. I wonder if there is a genetic basis for low Vitamin D blood levels?
The power of the 🍄
What a great video! I thought the same with therapy! A load of s***e, to put it academically! 🎉😂❤ what works? Diet, diet, diet!!!
Put me on the couch and dose me Doctors! Give it to me straight! I can't take it¡!¡ I want to try this. Please Help Me
