In this episode, Syd tells us the story of MK-Ultra (aka Project Artichoke), the goat-loving chemist in charge, and how the CIA worked in the 1950's and 60's to develop methods of mind control, often by slipping unsuspecting victims huge doses of LSD. We're talking conspiracy theories, rumors, and the stranger-than-fiction truth of what really went down.

In this episode, Jess tells us all about Dr. Sigmund Freud, an infamous neurologist who ended up being the founder of psychoanalysis, and definitely kind of a weirdo. We're talking oedipus, the Ego, and how we're pretty sure some of these theories were the result of Freud's drug usage.

In the first episode of Season 2, Jess & Syd interview Dr. Stephen Beeson (@SbeesonMD), a family medicine doctor with an incredible background in improving how doctors practice medicine. Dr. Beeson is also a bestselling author for his book “Practicing Excellence: A Physician's Manual to Exceptional Health Care,” a how-to approach that teaches other doctors to improve their performance. You won't want to miss this interview, including conversations about physician burnout, how doctors who "practice excellence" can improve the lives of themselves and their patients, and how patients can better advocate for themselves!
