Will Van Derveer, psychiatrist, author, and co-founder of the Integrative Psychiatry Institute, explores the promises and perils of psychedelic therapy.

The conversation also covers safe settings, ibogaine risks, who should avoid psychedelics, grief, integration, and why lasting change requires courage and practice.

Ryan Moresby White, men’s coach and founder of Heal The Boy, explores why men can pull away from the love they crave. They discuss wounded inner children, unprocessed grief, emotional shutdown, family patterns, and how intimacy can awaken old rejection. The conversation also covers breathwork, embodied healing, brotherhood, emotional safety, relationship standards, and rites of passage.

Kim Polinder, relationship therapist and author of Why We Fight, explores the childhood wounds beneath recurring arguments. They discuss triggers, emotional protection, projection, realistic promises, and why self-awareness must become practiced behavior. Kim also presents a powerful apology framework, the role of gratitude and remorse in repair, and how grace, forgiveness, and inner-child compassion can restore connection.

Ann Shippy, MD, is a board-certified physician and functional medicine practitioner focused on fertility, epigenetics, and environmental health.

The conversation also delves into inherited trauma, mold exposure, spirituality, the mysterious zinc spark, and building stronger bodies for future children.

Andy Schoonover, entrepreneur and founder of CrowdHealth, challenges the foundations of traditional health insurance. He explores opaque medical billing, claim denials, profit-driven care, and fear-based decision-making. The conversation also covers a diabetes program insurers cancelled, community-funded care, home birth, healthcare sovereignty, and how direct support helped save a man’s life.

Nir Eyal, behavioral design expert and author of Hooked and Indistractable, explores how beliefs shape motivation, perception, pain, and relationships. He shares a surprising story about his mother, unpacks prayer’s psychological role, examines predictive processing and placebo effects, and explains why mental contrasting can beat positive visualization. A thought-provoking look at changing the stories that keep us stuck.
