Dr. Michael Sapiro

🚨 The ones who run toward the danger deserve more than “thoughts and prayers.” They deserve real, culturally competent care.

In this episode, we sit down with Dr. Michael Ryoshin Sapiro, a Zen Buddhist monk, clinical psychologist, psychedelic psychotherapist, and fierce advocate for First Responders. From ride-alongs and on-scene support to department consultations, trauma debriefings, and powerful healing retreats, Dr. Mike shows up where it matters.

You’ll learn: ✅ Why First Responders need care designed for them, by someone who understands them ✅ How ketamine-assisted psychotherapy is being used to treat trauma and burnout ✅ The role of meditation in regulating adrenaline, improving sleep, and staying focused under stress ✅ How retreats (with breathwork, cold soaks, deep sharing, and laughter) create space for transformation ✅ How to prepare for retirement, heal from departmental BS, and show up present at home again

Plus: A sneak peek into his upcoming book, Truth Medicine, and a few hilarious moments about “jackhammer nervous systems,” cuddles, and cops venting like champs.

🎧 This one is personal, powerful, and absolutely necessary. Tune in now.
