    39. Zero Day

    This is a short and sweet episode where I discuss the concept of Zero Day, an idea my husband and I came up with a long time ago. Over the years, it has evolved into an overarching concept in my schedule and one of my tricks for being productive in the workplace. Zero Day is a day you mark OFF on your calendar when you don't do any work? How would that actually help you to work? It recharges your batteries and gives you the space to reset.

    38. Psychedelic Research Update with Gül Dölen, MD, PhD

    Dr. Gül Dölen, MD, PhD is a Professor and the Bob & Renee Parsons Endowed Chair in the Department of Neuroscience and the Department of Psychology at UC Berkeley, is the senior science advisor at the Berkeley Center for the Science of Psychedelics, a member of the Helen Wills Neuroscience Institute and is an Adjunct Professor of Neuroscience and Neurology at Johns Hopkins School of Medicine. Most importantly, she is a groundbreaking neuroscientist, with her lab's work showing that psychedelics such as MDMA, ketamine, psilocybin, LSD and ibogaine can reopen critical periods of brain plasticity. The brain has multiple critical periods, which are windows in infancy and childhood where the brain is very open to learning new things, and once these close it may be difficult to learn, or relearn new functions. There are critical periods for emotional development, but also for physical motor skills. These are being investigated in stroke patients by Dr. Dölen through the PHATHOM Stroke trial, which has just started recruiting study subjects at Johns Hopkins. We have a great conversation discussing the new Presidential Executive Order's implications for psychedelic researchers, why we're all so interested in ibogaine, and yes, what happens when you give an octopus MDMA!   Find her at: www.dolenlab.org Please rate&review, share, and follow the podcast!

    37. Psychedelic News Update with Ismail Lourido Ali

    Psychedelics have really been in the news lately, starting with the presidential Executive Order in April. I wanted to discuss this as well as some of the hot topics in the psychedelics landscape so who better to talk with than some of my friends who are true experts in the field! First up this week is Ismail Lourido Ali. Ismail is the Co-Executive Director of MAPS (Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies), a leading nonprofit that has been doing amazing work in the psychedelic space for the last 40 years. Ismail has been actively participating in the drug policy reform movement for over a decade, informed by half a lifetime of diverse personal experience with psychedelics and other substances. Previously as the Director of Policy & Advocacy at MAPS, Ismail supported the design, building, and implementation of psychedelic policy reform across the country and world. He also co-founded and co-chaired the Board of the Psychedelic Bar Association and is licensed to practice law in the state of California. Ismail has advised, is formally affiliated with, or has served in leadership roles for numerous organizations in the drug policy ecosystem.

    36. P&G Discuss: Japan

    I'm once again joined by my sister Garin Hussenjian, who co-hosts this episode. She's G and I'm P, in case you were wondering! Garin has been obsessed with Japan and Japanese culture from a very young age. Today we dive into how that all started and what it's led to in her life- like starting a Japanese stationary company. Listen to her light up as she discusses studying language, the art of kimono, ikebana and tea ceremony and come to the realization that there are no mistakes in tea ceremony. This lesson could apply to everything in life! Follow Garin on IG: @ginkogardens Please rate&review, share, and follow the podcast!

    35. Coming Back and Using Your Voice

    I took a long break from the podcast but I'm back! In this episode I look back at my episodes so far and discuss some people that I have discussed in the past who I no longer align with, such as Deepak Chopra. Systematic abuses of women are coming to the light in many settings and I've had it! I've decided to start using my voice and so should you.  Some authors and creators I reference: IG: @healingfromhealing Substack:  Alisa Valdes-Rodriguez: https://substack.com/@alisavaldes Lissa Rankin, MD: https://substack.com/@lissarankinmd Scott Mills: https://substack.com/@drswm Please rate&review, share, and follow the podcast!

    34. 20 Years in Emergency Medicine

    Last week I hit a major milestone: 20 years in emergency medicine! I've now spent almost half my life as an emergency physician and haven't just learned a lot of medicine, but also about humanity as a whole and myself as an individual. The emergency department, or ED as we like to call it, helped me to find my voice and not be afraid to speak out loud. It has helped me to recognize both the large life and death stories but also the smaller moments in between that can be just as valuable. I talk about the pros and cons of the specialty and what keeps me coming back for more! Let me know what you think! Please rate&review, share, and follow the podcast!
