Gina and I met in the healing world around Pasadena. She defines liberatory embodiment as work centered on the energy body, the site of transformation, moving toward the rhythms of a sovereign life. Her guiding line: knowing is not healing. Patients aren’t asked to retell anything — the work happen…
When I used sub-anesthetic ketamine in pediatrics for years, no one blinked. The moment I brought the same molecule to mental health, the stigma arrived, and that gap is really what this episode is about. Nick Nowak walked me through the machinery that sits between a promising psychedelic and a pat…
For most of medical history, we have asked patients to tell us how their brains feel, and then tried to read between the lines. Dr. Mark Tommerdahl offered us a different starting point: a way to measure it. He explained how Brain Gauge uses precisely controlled vibrations on two fingertips to trac…

Kelan Thomas has spent years studying the pharmacology behind psychedelics, and what struck us most is how often the loudest fears (serotonin syndrome, for one) turn out to be less clear-cut than the he…
In this episode we followed our curiosity into one of the most fascinating questions in medicine: how much of who a child becomes is shaped before they can even remember it? Dr. Laura Hanson has spent about thirty years working with children's brains, and she walks us through her model of how the s…
In this episode of Too Curious MDs, I sit down with Julia Schneider, a narrative-medicine teacher, poet, and pain-care therapist I first met in our original narrative-medicine cohort at Columbia. Julia describes narrative medicine not as a fixed thing but as a mode of attention, a listening practic…
I have been curious about Cole Thornton for a while, so it was a joy to finally sit down with him. He's a doctor of physical therapy and the founder of Atman, a movement, breathwork, and meditation studio right down the street from us, and he has a gift for making an idea feel true in your body whi…
