The KIND Revolution

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 therapyThe 80% reduction in inflammatory markers Dr. Volpp consistently sees post-treatmentThe blood clot patient told his clot would never dissolve — and what happened four months laterWhy cold plunges may be the wrong tool for perimenopausal womenHow inflammation connects cholesterol, cardiac risk, autoimmune disease, and cancerWhy curiosity is disappearing from medicine — and what's lost when it goesLearn more about Dr. Heather Volpp:🌐 Synergy O3 — Encinitas, CASubscribe for new episodes every week.

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.Subscribe to the Kind Revolution Podcast for conversations at the intersection of medicine, mental health, and the real lives of the people navigating both.

Dr. Shauna "Doc" Springer has spent over two decades embedded with the people most of us would never dare to challenge: elite military warfighters, combat veterans, and first responders. A Harvard-trained psychologist, award-winning Military Times podcast host, and three-time bestselling author, she now provides specialized consultation and confidential advising to public safety leaders through her company, Thin Line Advisory.In this episode, Doc Springer sits down with Dr. Georgine Nanos to dismantle the deeply held beliefs about suicide prevention and warrior wellness that were built with the best of intentions — and are quietly making things worse.What you'll hear in this conversation:Why suicide awareness campaigns can actually increase risk for the very people they're designed to protectWhy suicidal people don't always know they're at risk — and what that means for how we respondThe painful truth behind "Zero Suicide" initiatives — and why implying every suicide could have been prevented causes its own harmThe difference between moral injury and PTSD, and why treating them the same way fails warriorsWhat "cultural alignment" really means, and why dropping a single word in a session can permanently destroy trustThe resilience myth — and why calling someone resilient might be the thing that stops them from getting helpWhat genuinely safe mental health infrastructure for warriors actually looks likeThe biological treatments beyond medication and therapy that are changing outcomesWhy a leader's silence during a crisis isn't neutral — it reads as betrayalThis is not a conversation about awareness. It's about truth, accountability, and what it really costs to protect the people who protect us.Doc Springer's new book:Fall Out — available on Amazon👉 https://www.amazon.com/FALL-OUT-Beliefs-Bravest-OVERCOMING-ebook/dp/B0GP923649/Learn more about Doc Springer's work:🌐 https://thinlineadvisory.com📸 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/docshaunaspringer/💼 LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/in/docshaunaspringer

In this episode of The Kind Revolution Podcast, Dr. Georgine Nanos sits down with Kelly Sales, PA-C, Associate Medical Director at Kind Health Group, to break down what family medicine actually is, why it's the backbone of longevity medicine (before longevity was even trendy), and why every single person needs a primary care physician—especially now.This isn't your typical medical specialty conversation. Dr. Nanos and Kelly get real about what happens when you don't have someone coordinating your care: the woman treated for depression when she actually needed hormone therapy, the patient bouncing between specialists with no one connecting the dots, the friend diagnosed with stage 4 cancer with no one to help navigate the terrifying healthcare system.This conversation strips away the confusion about who does what in healthcare and makes the case for why primary care isn't optional—it's foundational.TIMESTAMPS:00:00 - Introduction: Why we're talking about family medicine02:00 - What family medicine actually is (and why you need it)03:49 - Cradle-to-grave care: treating the entire human lifespan04:46 - The privilege of seeing generations of families06:02 - Family doctors as mental health specialists (80-90% of care)07:33 - The mind-body connection: mental health affects cardiovascular health09:15 - When physical symptoms are actually mental health (and vice versa)11:28 - Why you need a central hub coordinating your care12:42 - The woman misdiagnosed with depression (when it was hormones)13:18 - Navigating the broken healthcare system during crisis15:07 - Being part of your patient's support system16:47 - Family medicine IS longevity medicine (before it was trendy)17:37 - Game-changing tools: GLP-1s and Galleri tests18:43 - Final thoughts: why everyone needs a family medicine doctorABOUT KELLY SALES, PA-C:Associate Medical Director at Kind Health Group.

Sabrina Falquier started crying at a medical conference in Napa. Not because something went wrong, but because something finally felt right.After years of seeing 18 patients a day in 15-minute slots, checking all the boxes of a successful medical career while feeling like something was missing, she found herself at Healthy Kitchens, Healthy Lives—a collaboration between Harvard School of Public Health and the Culinary Institute of America. The keynote speaker started talking, and tears came. One shoulder whispered all the possibilities. The other shoulder reminded her of all the reasons she couldn't pursue them.By day two and a half, she realized something that changed everything: her current employer was just that—her current employer. Not her destiny.Now triple board-certified in internal medicine, culinary medicine, and lifestyle medicine, Sabrina has built a career teaching medical students, consulting with community organizations like Olivewood Gardens, and showing people that the most powerful medicine might already be sitting in their pantry.This conversation wanders through the deeply personal terrain of leaving the medical highway for the frontage road, the science behind why plants matter so much, and the quiet courage it takes to listen when something inside you says "there has to be more than this."Key Moments & Takeaways00:00 - 07:03 | The Conference That Changed EverythingSabrina shares the moment she knew she had to leave traditional primary care.

In this episode of The Kind Revolution Podcast, Dr. Georgine Nanos sits down with Michelle White, a woman who spent decades helping others as an educator before her own body forced her to become a student of healing. After retiring from a full-time career in education, Michelle dove deep into mindfulness, Ayurveda, and mind-body medicine - completing her master's degree and PhD coursework in natural medicine.This isn't your typical wellness conversation. Michelle gets brutally honest about hitting rock bottom with autoimmune disease, the moment she realized Western medicine alone wasn't enough, and how she rebuilt her health from the inside out using meditation, breathwork, and ancient Ayurvedic wisdom adapted for modern life. Dr. Nanos and Michelle explore why most people fail at wellness (they're trying to add MORE instead of creating space), the neuroscience behind why meditation actually works, and how to build sustainable practices that don't require perfection. They tackle the hard questions: How do you heal when you've tried everything? What's the difference between spiritual bypassing and genuine transformation? And why does everyone feel like they're supposed to be "doing" wellness instead of "being" well?TIMESTAMPS:00:00 - Introduction: Meet Michelle White02:45 - From educator to healer: Michelle's transformation story06:12 - The autoimmune wake-up call that changed everything09:30 - Why Western medicine alone wasn't the answer12:18 - Discovering meditation and Ayurveda15:42 - The neuroscience of meditation: what's actually happening in your brain19:25 - Breathwork basics: the fastest path to nervous system regulation23:10 - Common meditation mistakes (and why you don't need to "clear your mind")27:35 - Ayurveda 101: ancient wisdom meets modern life31:50 - Michelle's daily non-negotiables for wellness35:20 - Creating sustainable practices vs perfectionistic wellness culture39:45 - The "doing" vs "being" trap in healing43:30 - Self-compassion: the missing ingredient in most wellness journeys47:15 - How to start when you feel overwhelmed51:40 - Small practices, profound shifts55:20 - Integration: making it stick in real life58:50 - Michelle's advice for anyone struggling with chronic illness62:15 - Where to find Michelle and continue learningABOUT MICHELLE WHITE:Coach, healer, and teacher who has empowered hundreds of people on their journeys of self-healing.

Dr. Anjali Bharne has spent 15 years sitting across from patients who just heard the words "you have cancer." As a board-certified hematologist and medical oncologist at UC San Diego Health, she's witnessed the explosion of cancer treatment options—and the explosion of misinformation right alongside it.This conversation gets into territory most oncologists won't touch publicly. The patient who confessed to secretly taking ivermectin and fenbendazole because he read about it online. The desperate families spending tens of thousands on alternative treatments from providers who've lost their medical licenses. The real consequences when someone delays proven treatment to try something they heard about on a podcast.Dr. Bharne walks us through what's actually changed in cancer care since 2010. Precision oncology means doctors can now target specific mutations in your cancer. Immunotherapy has become a genuine game-changer for certain cancer types. And researchers have figured out that sometimes three drugs aren't better than two—more aggressive doesn't always mean more effective.00:00 - Opening08:57 - How a medical student discovered her calling on the bone marrow transplant ward11:23 - Three major advances in cancer care over 15 years13:34 - Immunotherapy explained in terms that actually make sense15:02 - The first visit: navigating a new cancer diagnosis28:12 - Why patients pursue alternative treatments alongside standard care31:28 - The financial toxicity of unproven treatments34:02 - Red flags when researching alternative cancer providers37:55 - Real patient story: confessing to secret alternative treatment40:18 - The cost of delayed treatment nobody talks about
