Music is something that every human being connects with. Music can impact our mood, our biology and it can stir up memories but to some it can be hugely transformative when used in therapy.

Today I speak with Professor Suzanne Hanser of the Berklee College of Music whose new book is Music for wellness.

We discover the way in which music is used in a therapeutic setting.

Prof Hanser tells me how music therapy can make a real difference in peoples' lives, such as those facing illness like cancer.

We hear how music therapy can assist Alzheimers patients reconnect with their memories and their family members and more.

Its well known that there is currently a mental health crisis across the world, but the field of psychiatry has evolved little in recent decades and existing drugs used to treat patients have response rates ranging from at best 50 to 70 % depending on the drug.
In addition those taking SSRIs for example for their depression are locked in to their prescriptions for life. So the appetite exists for alternative approaches.
Psycheledic drugs and associated research are now seeing renewed interest, no longer are they solely associated with their recreational use during the hippy era of the 60s but increasingly more and more studies are pointing to their efficacy when it comes to dealing with mental health problems like anxiety and depression.
With that in mind I spoke with research scientist Dr Freiederike Holze who explained what psychedelics are and what we understand about how they work in the brain.
We hear about the remarkable ability of LSD to treat anxiety with long standing results after only a couple of doses.
Dr Holze compares LSD with Psilocybin, and details the benefits of both while also outlining the potential negative effects.
Also expect to learn about how MDMA studies have shown promising results for dealing with PTSD symptoms.
It goes without saying that while psychedlics have been used by humankind for eons, and many people will report a positive experience when they used them for their own therapeutic purposes, scientists must prove their efficacy in a replicable way and in a controlled environment, as frustrating as many may find this, its the only way forward if psychedelics are to become a mainstream approach to treating conditions like depression which blights so many.
This discussion is purely for educational purposes.

Unbeatable Mind book : https://amzn.to/3UOWVp3


To be a soldier requires a particular kind of mindset, discipline and mental toughness. And to be a member of the special forces requires serious mastery of the mind.

In an effort to tap into this mindset I speak with Navy Seal Commander Mark Divine who by his own admission was the archetypal overachiever physically, but it wasnt until he discovered karate and zen meditation that he really tapped into what he was capable of physically and mentally.

We hear about his chaotic family background growing up and how it undermined his confidence which was in contrast with his physical prowess and success in sport up to that point.

Commander Divine talks about how transformative meditation was in how he saw himself and life's challenges, and how it gave him the vital strengths to change career, enter the military and lead a team of 6 navy recruits through the tortuous 9 months of navy seal training which included the infamous hell week.

Divine was 1 of only 19 recruits out of a total of 185 who passed navy seal training, and would go on to spend 20 years in the navy seals.

We explore the 4 key skills that are crucial to Commander Divine's philosophy, including vizualisation and positive self talk.

While the terms 'navy seals', 'special forces', and the 'SAS' will conjure up various perconceived notions you have of that world, I want you to park them, because this conversation focuses on mastering your mind, overcoming that inner negative dialogue which we all engage in to our detriment.

Lets be honest if someone who faced the brutal training and life threatening situations which Commander Divine had to, then I know we can absolutely glean some really great advice to help us deal with our everyday lives.

Neurologist Dr Ray Dorsey author of Ending parkinsons disease returns to the podcast.
Clearly theres a huge interest in all forms of dementia, in Parkinsons disease, Alzheimers disease and Lewy body dementia which is the disease to which Robin Williams sadly succumbed only a few years ago.
So in this episode we talk about Parkinsons disease, how it was discovered, its symptoms but crucially why Dr Dorsey and other experts believe it is preventable.
We hear of the environmental factors that Dr Dorsey believes are causing Parkinsons and other forms of dementia, including dry cleaning chemicals, emissions from cars and toxins contaminating our food.
We learn that only in a very small number of cases of Parkinsons are genetics implicated, which further points to factors outside the body that are driving this and other forms of cognitive decline.
It is also Dr Dorsey's belief that contamination by toxins is what is driving the huge spike in cases of autism in recent years.
