LEARNINGS:

How does the speaker practice psychiatry, sports psychiatry, and sleep medicine differently from the average psychiatrist?
The speaker brings neuroimaging to integrative psychiatry and focuses on underlying factors rather than just symptom clusters.

What is the resistance or holdup in the medical field for more integrative, holistic approaches to psychiatry, sports medicine, and sleep medicine?
Factors such as training to prioritize pharmaceutical interventions, insurance incentives for quick med checks, and the relegation of holistic approaches as alternative have contributed to the resistance.

What is the relationship between sauna use and prevention of dementia?
Sauna use can help reduce inflammation, promote endorphins and dopamine release, and aid in the removal of beta amyloid accumulation, which can contribute to dementia.

How does the speaker differentiate between types of ADHD and tailor treatment accordingly?
The speaker uses brain scans to identify different brain regions affected by ADHD, such as frontal lobes or cerebellum, and adjusts treatment based on factors like anxiety or other underlying issues.

What are the speaker's thoughts on marijuana use in relation to sleep and mental health?
The speaker acknowledges potential benefits of cannabinoids like CBN for sleep but emphasizes the importance of using CBD/CBD A products over THC for medicinal purposes.
