Welcome back to Project Sapient! In this special episode, we are honored to have Dr. Kate Pate, PhD neurophysiologist, coach, and entrepreneur, as our first in-person guest. Dr. Pate shares her extensive experience in scientific research and practical applications in the military and special operations community, focusing on critical topics such as traumatic brain injury (TBI), stress, and trauma.
Dr. Pate discusses her journey from academia to founding Karuna Medical, where she develops innovative medical devices for austere environments. She also delves into her work on transformational recovery, psychedelic integration, and functional medicine, all aimed at helping service members and veterans with complex health issues.
The conversation explores the neurophysiological science behind stress and trauma, the concept of allostatic load, and the importance of resilience training for first responders and military personnel. Dr. Pate emphasizes the significance of self-care and offers valuable advice for those in high-stress professions.
Join us for an insightful discussion that sheds light on the challenges faced by law enforcement and military communities and the steps we can take to support their mental and physical well-being.
