006. Got Trauma? Meet 'The God Shot' with Dr. Eugene Lipov

What if PTSD isn’t a mental disorder—but a physical injury that can be healed?

When advanced brain scans revealed trauma’s visible scars on the brain, Dr. Eugene Lipov saw an opportunity: if trauma can be seen, it can be treated.

Enter The God Shot—a revolutionary procedure that resets the body’s stuck fight-or-flight response using a simple nerve block called SGB. One injection. Ten minutes. The nervous system reset back to a pre-trauma state. Years of hypervigilance, anxiety, and emotional reactivity can begin to fade—often within minutes.

This isn’t just theory. Dr. Lipov has treated thousands of patients—from Navy SEALs and first responders to survivors of abuse, grief, burnout, and invisible wounds. He’s testified before Congress, published in top medical journals, and been featured in The Wall Street Journal, WIRED, and USA Today. And through it all, one truth keeps emerging: trauma is an injury—and injuries can heal.

In this episode, Dr. Lipov breaks down the treatment, the science, and the movement that’s redefining how we understand trauma. He also shares the deeply personal reason behind his mission—and why he’s spent the last two decades fighting to bring real solutions to those who need them most.

What you’ll learn:

 - How The God Shot works to reset the nervous system
 - Why PTSD isn’t a mental disorder—it’s a biological injury
 - What makes SGB so effective—and who it’s helping
 - What this means for the future of trauma and mental health care

Whether you’ve lived through trauma, love someone who has, or simply want to understand what’s possible—this episode will shift your perspective on healing, hope, and what comes next.

The era of managing trauma is over. The age of healing has begun.
