What happens when we begin to understand burnout, addiction, anxiety, and other struggles through the lens of trauma?

In this episode, Dr Lida Fatemi is joined by Dr Christine Gibson, a family physician, trauma therapist, author of The Modern Trauma Toolkit, and advocate for making trauma-informed healing tools more accessible.

Christine shares how being caught in the 2015 Nepal earthquakes became a turning point in her own understanding of trauma. As she began exploring her own post-traumatic symptoms, she also recognised how frequently complex trauma was present in the patients she cared for, particularly those experiencing refugee health challenges, addiction, and health inequities.

Together, Lida and Christine explore:

• Why trauma is often misunderstood in traditional medical education
• The connection between trauma and physician burnout
• How unresolved trauma can show up in the body, relationships, work, and everyday life
• Somatic approaches to trauma healing, including Havening, tapping, and tremoring
• How Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) can help people process traumatic memories
• Developmental trauma and the NeuroAffective Relational Model (NARM)
• Why trauma-informed therapy does not have to be shame-based
• The importance of nervous system regulation and understanding fight, flight, freeze, and collapse responses
• How physicians can experience vicarious trauma from caring for people who are suffering
• The role of psychedelic medicine and integration in trauma healing
• Why set, setting, preparation, and guidance matter when working with psychedelic experiences
• The relationship between trauma, social inequity, and access to mental health care
• How collective trauma can influence communities, systems, and even our relationship with the planet
• Why healing can be approached with self-compassion, curiosity, creativity, and even playfulness

Christine also shares her vision for making trauma education more accessible to everyday people, parents, teachers, physicians, and therapists through practical tools and resources.

At the heart of this conversation is a powerful message: we don't have to approach healing through shame or suffering. We can build greater awareness, compassion, connection, and agency in ourselves and in the generations that follow.

In this episode of The Conscious Physician Podcast, Dr. Lida Fatemi sits down with Heather Lee, a licensed clinical social worker, psychedelic-assisted psychotherapist, author, speaker, and one of the early licensed psychedelic practitioners in Colorado.

With more than 30 years of experience in mental health, Heather shares how psilocybin-assisted therapy has transformed the way she approaches healing, trauma, grief, cancer, end-of-life anxiety, and personal transformation. Rather than viewing psychedelics as a stand-alone intervention, Heather describes them as an ally that can help people reconnect with their own inner wisdom.

The conversation explores the importance of psychedelic preparation and integration, including practices such as journaling, visual art, dream work, time in nature, mindfulness, and reconnecting with play and curiosity. Heather explains how slowing down and becoming present in nature can provide a powerful setting for processing insights that emerge through non-ordinary states of consciousness.

Heather also shares her deeply personal experience of receiving a breast cancer diagnosis immediately after completing her psychedelic therapy training. She describes turning to psilocybin during that pivotal moment and how the experience influenced the emotional, spiritual, and practical way she approached her cancer journey.

Dr. Fatemi and Heather discuss the growing potential for psychedelic-assisted therapy in cancer care, hospice, palliative medicine, grief, trauma, and end-of-life distress, as well as the need for physicians and other healthcare professionals to recognize the psychological and spiritual dimensions of serious illness.

They also explore why psychedelic therapy requires thoughtful screening, experienced practitioners, trauma-informed care, preparation, and long-term integration. Heather emphasizes that psychedelics are not appropriate for everyone and that patients should carefully evaluate the training and credentials of anyone offering psychedelic facilitation.

The episode ultimately asks a larger question: What changes when medicine begins addressing not only the physical body, but also the mind, nervous system, relationships, meaning, spirituality, and the way we experience our own lives?

In this episode, you’ll hear about:

• Psilocybin-assisted psychotherapy and mental health
• Psychedelic preparation and integration
• Connecting with inner wisdom during psychedelic therapy
• Nature-based and ecotherapy practices for integration
• Journaling, dream work, creativity, and non-ordinary states
• Trauma, stored emotions, and psycho-spiritual healing
• Heather's personal experience with breast cancer and psilocybin
• Psychedelic therapy for cancer-related distress and anxiety
• Psilocybin in hospice and palliative care
• End-of-life anxiety, grief, and mortality
• The intersection of spirituality, medicine, and psychedelics
• Why screening and trauma-informed psychedelic care matter
• Choosing a qualified psychedelic facilitator
• The importance of long-term integration after a psychedelic experience

Heather is also the author of The Psilocybin Sessions, a collection of stories exploring women's experiences of healing and transformation through psychedelic medicine.

Inside Oregon’s Legal Psilocybin Program: Safety, Access & the Future of Psychedelic Healing with Myles Katz

What does legal, regulated access to psilocybin actually look like in practice?

In this episode of Conscious Physician: Medicine & Psychedelics, Dr. Lida Fatemi welcomes Myles Katz, a licensed psilocybin facilitator in Oregon and founder of Confluence Retreats, for a fascinating behind-the-scenes look at one of the first regulated psilocybin access models of its kind.

Myles' work in psychedelics began well before Oregon's program. In 2018, he co-founded Synthesis, an organization that operated psilocybin retreats in Amsterdam and raised more than $10 million in capital. His experience eventually brought him to Oregon as the state prepared to implement its newly legalized psilocybin services system.

In this conversation, Myles breaks down exactly how Oregon's model works—from the different licenses required for growers, laboratories, service centers, and facilitators to the training required to legally facilitate a psilocybin experience.

Dr. Fatemi and Myles also explore an important distinction: Oregon intentionally created a model that isn't structured strictly as a traditional medical program. This creates unique opportunities for access and flexibility while also raising important questions about facilitator qualifications, medical screening, accessibility, and safety.

Myles shares what he has learned from running five-day psilocybin retreats within this regulatory framework, including why precise dosing has become more valuable to him than he initially expected and how Oregon's required testing allows facilitators to better understand the potency of the psilocybin being administered.

They also discuss set and setting, what licensed psilocybin service centers actually look like, why psilocybin must currently be consumed at licensed facilities, and some of the challenges this creates for people with disabilities or those who may not easily be able to travel.

The conversation then turns to one of the most important pieces of psychedelic care: what happens after the experience?

As Myles explains, mushrooms themselves aren't necessarily going to change someone's life. They may provide insight and create an opportunity for change, but individuals still have to integrate those insights and do the work when they return home.

Dr. Fatemi and Myles also discuss antidepressant use, medical screening, microdosing, affordability, social equity, and the importance of creating systems that prioritize harm reduction while expanding responsible access.

In this episode, you'll hear about:

• Myles' journey from Synthesis in Amsterdam to legal psilocybin facilitation in Oregon
• How Oregon's regulated psilocybin services model works
• The four major license categories within the system
• What it takes to become a licensed psilocybin facilitator
• The financial and training requirements facilitators face
• The benefits and limitations of Oregon's current model
• Why Oregon's system isn't structured as a traditional medical program
• The importance of laboratory testing and more precise psilocybin dosing
• What licensed psilocybin service centers actually look like
• How Myles structures five-day psychedelic retreats
• Set, setting, breathwork, preparation, and integration
• Accessibility challenges for people unable to travel to licensed centers
• Medical screening and areas where Myles believes additional safeguards could be considered
• The complexities surrounding antidepressants and psychedelic experiences
• Microdosing and what some participants consider after a retreat
• Why psychedelics are not a substitute for the work that follows
• The cost of regulated psilocybin services and retreats
• Oregon's social equity requirements
• Why Myles prefers intimate retreat groups with multiple facilitators
• What Oregon's experience could teach other states developing psychedelic programs

As more states explore pathways toward regulated psychedelic care, Oregon offers something incredibly valuable: real-world experience.

This conversation provides a thoughtful look at what is working, where challenges remain, and how safety, accessibility, education, integration, and responsible facilitation can continue evolving alongside psychedelic medicine.

From PTSD to Purpose: Psychedelic Healing, Forgiveness & Rebuilding a Life with Dr. Charlie Powell

What happens when the life you worked so hard to build no longer feels like your own?

In this powerful episode of Conscious Physician: Medicine & Psychedelics, Dr. Lida Fatemi sits down with Dr. Charlie Powell, a former military physician, entrepreneur, veteran, filmmaker, and mental health advocate whose personal healing journey completely changed the direction of his life.

Charlie shares his path from joining the Army as a young combat medic to building a career in military and emergency medicine, eventually growing and selling a healthcare organization in North Texas. But beneath the professional success, he was living with PTSD, insomnia, chronic neuropathic pain, night terrors, isolation, and years of dependence on multiple medications just to remain functional.

After reaching what he describes as one of the darkest periods of his life, an unexpected conversation introduced him to psychedelic medicine.

Despite a traumatic early experience with psychedelics as a teenager, Charlie began researching modalities including Ayahuasca and Ibogaine. Eventually, he traveled to Mexico for an Ibogaine experience that would become one of the most consequential decisions of his life.

He describes how the experience helped him revisit memories he believed he had already processed, uncover deeper lessons, and redefine forgiveness—not simply as releasing blame, but as finding meaning and even gratitude within painful experiences.

One particularly profound experience brought Charlie back to a heartbreaking trauma case from his years in emergency medicine. By revisiting the memory from a different perspective, he was able to hear something he had missed the first time and finally release a burden he had carried for years.

That experience became a turning point.

Charlie ultimately walked away from his previous career, marriage, lifestyle, and even the country he had been living in, spending time rebuilding his identity and asking what he wanted the next chapter of his life to represent.

His answer centered around purpose, service, connection, veterans, and special needs families.

Today, Charlie is building multiple projects dedicated to those communities, including a resort designed for special needs families and the documentary Healing Heroes: No Mind Left Behind.

The film follows veterans living with trauma before, during, and after a psychedelic-assisted healing experience in Mexico. Rather than focusing solely on the medicine itself, Charlie emphasizes the preparation, integration, community, emotional work, and daily practices necessary to turn an experience into lasting change.

Dr. Fatemi and Charlie also explore one of the larger themes running through both of their work: psychedelic medicine cannot simply become another medication-centered model.

Healing requires responsible stewardship, preparation, integration, skilled support, connection, and a broader understanding of the person behind the diagnosis.

They also discuss the loss of community and purpose that many veterans face when transitioning out of military life, the mental health consequences of increasing social isolation, the stigma surrounding PTSD, and why mental health can no longer be treated as secondary to physical health.

In this episode, you'll hear about:

• Charlie's path from combat medic to physician and healthcare entrepreneur
• His experience with PTSD, night terrors, insomnia, chronic pain, and long-term medication use
• Why traditional treatment left him functional but still deeply unhappy
• How he first became interested in psychedelic medicine
• Preparing for and experiencing Ibogaine
• The advice to "say yes" during difficult psychedelic experiences
• How psychedelics changed his understanding of trauma and forgiveness
• A haunting emergency medicine case he carried for years
• Why forgiveness became a pivotal part of his healing
• Walking away from the identity and career he had spent decades building
• Reconnecting with spirituality, intuition, and purpose
• The creation of Healing Heroes: No Mind Left Behind
• Why psychedelic medicine may be only one piece of the healing process
• Preparation and integration as essential parts of psychedelic-assisted healing
• PTSD and the loss of military community
• The importance of purpose, connection, gratitude, forgiveness, and self-love
• Mental health stigma among physicians and veterans
• The risks of irresponsible psychedelic use and poorly run treatment centers
• Why Charlie believes responsible education and stewardship must shape the future of psychedelic medicine
• The unexpected connection between Charlie's work and Dr. Fatemi's Conscious Physicians Psychedelics Academy

This episode is ultimately a conversation about what becomes possible when we stop defining ourselves by what we've survived and begin asking what those experiences might be preparing us to do next.

What allows someone to perform at their best when the pressure is at its highest?

In this episode of Conscious Physician: Medicine & Psychedelics, Dr. Lida Fatemi welcomes her friend Jose Maresma, a clinical exercise physiologist with 35 years of experience who now focuses much of his work on performance coaching.

Jose takes a holistic, actionable approach to helping people maximize their potential—from elite athletes and corporate leaders to physicians, students, and everyday individuals who simply want to show up more fully in their lives.

One of the most fascinating stories in this conversation centers around Jose's work with Olympic runner Josh Kerr. Jose shares what happened when Josh reached out during the Tokyo Olympics after a preliminary race didn't go as planned—and how a brief coaching conversation helped bring his attention away from the outcome and back to the work he had already done, his breathing, his body, and the present moment. Josh ultimately went on to win an Olympic bronze medal.
But these tools aren't reserved for Olympic athletes.

Jose and Dr. Fatemi explore how nervous-system regulation, mindfulness, breathwork, gratitude, self-talk, and intentional daily practices can influence the way we respond to stress and challenge. They also discuss an important shift in how we think about motivation: sometimes we don't need to wait until we feel motivated. Taking one small action can begin creating the momentum that allows motivation to follow.

Jose also shares his approach to creating a morning "warm-up" and evening "cool-down," including stepping away from the phone, practicing breathwork or meditation, and intentionally focusing on gratitude.

The conversation closes with the cold-plunge community Jose has helped cultivate over the past several years. What began as a physical and mental challenge evolved into something deeper: a community built around connection, vulnerability, trust, resilience, and the willingness to do difficult things together.

In this episode, you'll hear about:

• Why being present is essential to performing at your highest level
• The mindset coaching Jose used with Olympian Josh Kerr
• Why motivation often comes after action
• How small behavioral changes can begin building momentum
• Nervous-system regulation and responding differently to stress
• Breathwork, mindfulness, meditation, and gratitude
• The importance of self-talk and developing useful mindsets
• Why high performers need to become intentional about distractions
• Jose's morning "warm-up" and evening "cool-down"
• The relationship between trauma, fear, behavior, and self-regulation
• Why values can help guide where you spend your attention
• Cold exposure as a mental and physical challenge
• How doing hard things together can create connection and community
• Why taking care of yourself is foundational to how you show up for others

Jose leaves listeners with a powerful reminder: your effort, attention, and attitude are within your control. When you focus your energy there, you can begin influencing your health, performance, and the way you experience your life.

Functional Mushrooms Explained: The Science Behind Lion's Mane, Reishi & Brain Health

Can functional mushrooms really improve focus, sleep, immunity, and long-term brain health?

In this landmark episode of Conscious Physicians: Medicine & Psychedelics, we sit down with Rick Doblin, founder and president of MAPS (Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies), for a deeply insightful conversation on the past, present, and future of psychedelic medicine.

Rick shares the decades-long journey of MAPS—from its origins in 1986 as a nonprofit dedicated to psychedelic research, to its groundbreaking clinical trials in MDMA-assisted therapy for PTSD, and its evolving role in global drug policy reform, public education, and harm reduction.

We explore how MDMA moved from underground use to FDA-designated breakthrough therapy status, and the complex regulatory, political, and scientific battles that continue to shape access to psychedelic treatments today.

Rick also breaks down MAPS’ global humanitarian mission—including training therapists in conflict zones, supporting veterans with PTSD, and expanding psychedelic-assisted therapy research beyond wealthy nations to areas of highest trauma and lowest resources.

This conversation goes beyond medicine—it is about systems, policy, consciousness, and the long arc of cultural transformation.

In this deeply powerful episode of Conscious Physicians: Medicine & Psychedelics, we sit down with Paul Walton, a firefighter, deputy fire marshal, and emerging advocate for first responder mental health through plant medicine and peer support.

Paul shares his raw and honest journey—from a difficult upbringing and early psychedelic experiences, to 17+ years in the fire service where repeated exposure to trauma, death, and moral injury began to accumulate in ways he couldn’t fully process.

Like many first responders, Paul describes the “backpack effect” of trauma—carrying call after call with no real space for emotional processing. Eventually, that internal pressure reached a breaking point.

What followed was not just burnout—but a profound reawakening.

After a workplace injury and medical cannabis use for pain, Paul experienced something unexpected: emotional healing, reconnection with creativity, and the beginning of trauma resolution he didn’t know was possible. Later, his return to psilocybin-assisted healing deepened that process and shifted his life’s mission entirely.

Today, Paul is working to expand access to medical cannabis for off-duty firefighters in Bernalillo County, reduce stigma around mental health in first responders, and advocate for psychedelic integration, peer support systems, and education that actually fits the lived reality of frontline workers.

This conversation is about trauma, yes—but even more so, it’s about rebuilding a system where those who serve others are finally supported in return.
