EP1 | A Coolness Over My Heart | Guest: Brian Leblanc

Joining Dr. Lipov for Episode 1 is Brian Leblanc, a resident of Ottawa, Canada, where he lives with his spouse and two children. Brian is embarking on a new chapter in his life, as he transitions out of a 32-year career in the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) — the last 24 years within the Canadian Special Operations Forces Command (CANSOFCOM). Over the last year, Brian has been focusing on his physical and mental health. During this time, he stumbled across Dr. Eugene Lipov’s groundbreaking treatment while listening to the Mike Tyson Podcast, Hot Boxing with Mike Tyson (Ep 38). Thankfully, he made a mental note of the discovery.In August 2023, Brian witnessed one of his closest friends, Aaron Wolf, transform in front of his eyes (NOTE: Be ready to shed a tear as Brian recounts the story during Episode 1). Aaron also served in CANSOFCOM, and he had been struggling. Coaxed by Brian, the two of them traveled to Chicago for a visit with Dr. Lipov at Stella where Aaron received the ‘transformational’ treatment known as Dual Sympathetic Reset (DSR) — an innovative protocol that was pioneered by Dr. Lipov in 2013 to treat folks with severe post-traumatic symptoms, among other applications. A few weeks later, Brian returned to Chicago — this time, accompanied by his wife, Kate Aldred. And, together, they made a trip t see Dr. Lipov. Kate received DSR for PTSI while Brian was treated with the (relatively new) SOF Protocol for Operators Syndrome, which includes four rounds of ketamine infusions to the DSR. If you catch the video version of this episode, you'll find photos and video that Brian recorded of their visits at the very end. “Please help spread the word. It‘s PTSI, not PTSD!” ~ Brian LeblancwJ13iRBFQE3x3mb2ySIz
