He’s made it his mission to help others relieve their traumatic suffering from PTSD and restore hope to their spirit.In 2006, Dr. Lipov pioneered the use of Stellate Ganglion Block (SGB) for the treatment for post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) — a procedure that was initially approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in the 1950s for the treatment of certain types of pain and circulation disorders. It is performed with an injection of medication into a collection of nerves at the bottom of the front side of your neck. It is most commonly known as a pain-relieving treatment, used to relieve hot flashes for menopause and cancer patients and treating shingles — and, now, to alleviate symptoms related to post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). SHOWNOTES:😴  What is the Stellate Ganglion Block (SGB)—and how can it reset your sleep?😴 Is sleep fragmentation a hidden sign of trauma?😴 Could PTSD, postpartum depression, and hot flashes all be connected to your nervous system?😴 What role does the amygdala play in your restless nights?😴 Are you skipping deep sleep—and missing out on critical brain detox?😴 Do dogs have PTSD too?😴 Is your nightly melatonin, yoga nidra, or lavender spray doing anything?😴 Still relying on benzos or alcohol to fall asleep?😴 What does real sleep recovery look like after trauma?😴 Is SGB (Stellate Ganglion Block) right for you?Plus:😴 Dr. Lipov’s own nightly routine, his thoughts on tech, light therapy, and what he believes is the future of trauma-informed sleep care.😴 And many more! SPONSORS:‍🪟Ublockout— Can you still see your hand in front of your face when you are in bed?
