    The Things You Google at 2am But Won't Say to Your Doctor

    Lauren Luscomb Holder is not a physician. She's Kind Health Group's Director of Marketing and Operations — which means she hears everything patients are too embarrassed to say in the exam room before they work up the courage to say it at all. She knows which questions get whispered at the front desk. She knows what women are Googling at midnight. And she knows exactly which topics have been sitting in the "we should really talk about that on the podcast" pile for months. This episode is that pile. All of it. In this conversation with Dr. Georgine Nanos, Lauren asks the questions patients genuinely want answered but can't bring themselves to raise — about bowel habits, fertility timelines, dating in your 50s, HPV after menopause, and the CO2 laser treatment that showed up in a TV show and sent half their patient base to their phones. Nothing is off limits. Nothing is treated like it should be. Connect with Kind Health Group:kindhealthgroup.comInstagram: @kindhealthgroupEncinitas, CA

    What Radiologists Really See

    In this conversation with Dr. Georgine Nanos, Dr. Burn pulls back the curtain on imaging — what's real in the AI hype, what whole body MRI can and can't do, why 1.5 Tesla actually outperforms 3 Tesla for screening, and what a Lancet paper on pancreatic cancer just revealed about early detection lead time that should change how we think about prevention entirely.For the high performer who assumes they're fine:Dr. Burn's message is simple — looking healthy and being healthy internally are two completely different things. The people least likely to get their cardiac markers checked are often the ones who need it most. VO2 max and longevity are linked. So are Lp(a) and a heart attack at 52 that nobody saw coming.Subscribe to the Kind Revolution Podcast for conversations at the intersection of medicine, mental health, and the real lives of the people navigating both.

    When the System Breaks the Doctor - Rebuilding Medicine

    The healthcare system isn't broken by accident — and your doctor is as trapped in it as you are. Dr. Georgine Nanos sits down with Dr. Natalie Gentile, family physician, entrepreneur, fitness instructor, and founder of Direct Care Physicians of Pittsburgh and Rebel Wellness — Pittsburgh's only woman physician-owned wellness studio with a culinary medicine teaching kitchen. Dr. Gentile watched the system swallow her father's solo practice after 60 years, then felt it happening to her own career. She got out. Here's what she built instead. In this episode: - Why patients blame doctors for a system that has stripped physicians of nearly every meaningful decision - The moment Dr. Gentile knew she had to leave — and what her father's 60-year career in medicine showed her first - What direct primary care (DPC) actually is: monthly membership, panel of under 300 patients, same-day access, no per-visit fees - Who DPC is designed for — the uninsured, under-insured, small business owners, and anyone on a high-deductible plan - Why physicians are siloed from each other by design — and the underground uprising happening in Pittsburgh and across the country - Dr. Gentile's own burnout: the patient interaction that triggered a year and a half of PTSD, nightmares, and flashbacks - What lifestyle medicine looks like through the lens of a 20-year fitness instructor who runs her studio next door to her practice - Perimenopause and women's health: why so many PCPs still aren't equipped to handle it — and why that's dangerous - Performative wellness: what it is, why it's harmful, and how Instagram health claims make real medicine harder - Weight-inclusive care as a practice-wide philosophy — and the patients it's changed - If she could change one thing: why employer-tied health insurance is quietly destroying continuity of care - What she'd say to every physician who feels trapped right now

    Your Nervous System Is Still in the Emergency. SGB, Ketamine, and the Future of Regenerative Medicine

    Dr. John How spent more than 15 years in emergency medicine watching the same story play out. Someone comes in at their worst moment, gets stabilized, and goes home — carrying unresolved pain, trauma, and a nervous system that never got the memo that the emergency was over. He started asking different questions. And then he started becoming the patient himself. Back pain. PTSD. A search for something beyond what traditional medicine was offering. He found providers thinking outside the box, had results that changed his life, and built a clinic around the idea that the most powerful interventions available are often the last ones people are offered — not the first. In this conversation with Dr. Georgine Nanos, Dr. How breaks down the treatments most doctors don't talk about, why your nervous system is running the show whether you know it or not, and what's actually happening when someone gets a stellate ganglion block and their nightmares stop the same week. What you'll hear in this conversation: What 15 years in the ER taught Dr. How about everything medicine was missingThe stellate ganglion block explained — what it is, where it goes, and why a 100-year-old procedure is now changing outcomes for PTSD, anxiety, long COVID, and chronic painWhy the SGB works: the amygdala, the sympathetic chain, and what happens when you interrupt the signal between themA 91% response rate for PTSD — and how that compares to SSRIs, which land around 50% with significant side effect dropoutHow long results last, who it works best for, and why your job being your trauma changes the equationHow Dr. How decides between SGB and ketamine when a patient walks in with overlapping depression, anxiety, and PTSDRegenerative medicine vs. traditional orthopedic care — why "wait it out" fails a significant portion of patientsPRP, nerve hydrodissection, and the pain generator most providers completely missThe honest conversation about stem cells, peptides, and the Wild West of wellness products neither Dr. How nor Dr. Nanos is willing to pretend is settled scienceWhy chronic pain and mental health aren't two separate problems — and what happens neurologically when pain signals spill over into your sympathetic nervous systemThe population most resistant to asking for help — and why Dr. How keeps showing up for them anywayRapid fire: the one thing every patient should prioritize (spoiler: both doctors gave the same answer)On the stigma that's costing people years: Dr. How is direct about this. The people who could benefit most from these treatments — first responders, veterans, high-functioning professionals — are often the last to reach for them. Not because the tools aren't there. Because asking for help still feels like losing something. He's working on that.

    What Your Labs Aren't Telling You — Ozone Therapy, Root Cause Medicine & Why Everything Is Connected

    Dr. Heather Volpp trained at Cedars-Sinai and UCLA, spent 15 years in traditional allergy and immunology, and kept seeing the same thing: patients who looked fine on paper but weren't getting better. That pattern led her to found Synergy O3 in Encinitas, where she now practices integrative medicine with a focus on ozone dialysis therapy and the upstream role of inflammation in chronic disease. In this episode, she joins Dr. Georgine Nanos to challenge the clean line between traditional and alternative medicine — and make a case for why that line was never as useful as we thought. In this conversation: What ozone dialysis is and why it's safer than standard 10-pass ozone therapy The 80% reduction in inflammatory markers Dr. Volpp consistently sees post-treatment The blood clot patient told his clot would never dissolve — and what happened four months later Why cold plunges may be the wrong tool for perimenopausal womenHow inflammation connects cholesterol, cardiac risk, autoimmune disease, and cancer Why curiosity is disappearing from medicine — and what's lost when it goes Learn more about Dr. Heather Volpp: 🌐 Synergy O3 — Encinitas, CA Subscribe for new episodes every week.

    What's Really Happening Inside Your Teenage Boy (And Why He Can't Tell You)

    Dr. Nathan Simmons has a Lego wall in his office. He still plays video games. His wife would tell you he never fully grew up — and that's exactly why teenage boys trust him with the things they won't tell anyone else. A clinical psychologist based in Encinitas with a doctorate from Alliant University and undergrad from UCLA, Dr. Simmons has built a practice around one of the hardest populations to reach emotionally: teenage and young adult boys. The kids who answer every question with "fine." The ones who go to their rooms and close the door. The ones whose parents are terrified something is wrong but can't get two words out of them to find out. In this conversation with Dr. Georgine Nanos, Dr. Simmons explains what's actually happening underneath that silence — and what parents can do about it. What you'll hear in this conversation: Why 80% of Dr. Simmons's caseload is now anxiety — and why that number has completely flipped from depression in just a few yearsThe Snapchat Maps problem: how social media doesn't just cause anxiety — it removes the one thing that used to protect kids from itWhy teenage boys go quiet when they're struggling — and why it's not about having nothing to sayThe "held hostage" feeling: why peppering your son with questions the second he walks in the door guarantees a one-word answerWhat behavioral withdrawal actually looks like, and why it's different from a teenager just wanting spaceWhy 95% of the boys who end up benefiting most from therapy were dragged there against their will — and why that's actually fineThe critical difference between suicidal ideation, intent, and a plan — and why parents shutting down the moment they hear "I want to die" can make things worseWhat it means to tolerate not knowing — the skill this generation is missing entirely, and why it's driving the anxiety crisisThe "logic trap" depressed teenagers fall into: "I'm 15, this is awful, and I have 65 more years of it"Dr. Simmons's parting message to every teenager struggling right now: your only job is to stay in it long enough to find out what you'd missFor parents: If you've been standing in the hallway outside your son's closed door wondering what to do next — this conversation is for you. Dr. Simmons doesn't talk at parents any more than he talks at his teenage clients. He's direct, practical, and honest about what actually moves the needle. For teens and young adults: The only thing consistent about life is that it changes. Dr. Simmons has been through it himself. He says it plainly: if he'd made a permanent decision at 12 based on how that year felt, he would have missed everything that mattered. Connect with Dr. Nathan Simmons:Website: https://www.drnathansimmons.com/Mention Dr. Nanos sent you — he responds quickly and sometimes a five-minute reply is all a parent needs to feel less alone.
