204. The Nocebo Effect and How Doctors Unknowingly Create Chronic Conditions

Your doctor just became your worst enemy. When the medical establishment brands chronic dizziness conditions like PPPD, MDDS, and vestibular migraines as "incurable," they're not just wrong, they're actively destroying lives through calculated ignorance. Dr. Yonit Arthur, a board-certified audiologist with a doctorate from Purdue University, drops a bombshell: patients experiencing 24/7 sensory collapse, paralyzing terror, and complete disorientation aren't suffering from permanent damage. They're trapped in a fear loop that doctors reinforce with every "learn to manage it" prescription. After watching the medical system fail hundreds of desperate patients who've seen 20, 30, even 40 specialists, Dr. Arthur launched The Steady Coach a popular YouTube channel with free courses to expose an uncomfortable truth. These "chronic" conditions persist because patients have been programmed to believe they're broken.

Is ADHD really a brain disorder or a label created to sell drugs? Dr. Roger McFillin speaks with filmmaker Roman Wyden, founder of the ADHD Is Over movement- that includes a book, podcast and upcoming documentary.  Roman shares why he rejected the ADHD label for his son and what he uncovered about the system behind it: schools, pharma, and psychiatry pushing parents toward pills. Together they expose how 6 million children in America are prescribed stimulants like Adderall and Ritalin, the billion-dollar ADHD industry that profits from it, and why more parents are waking up and saying: ADHD is over.ADHD is OVER Website Visit Center for Integrated Behavioral HealthDr. Roger McFillin / Radically Genuine WebsiteYouTube @RadicallyGenuineDr. Roger McFillin (@DrMcFillin) / XSubstack | Radically Genuine | Dr. Roger McFillinInstagram @radicallygenuineContact Radically GenuineConscious Clinician CollectivePLEASE SUPPORT OUR PARTNERS15% Off Pure Spectrum CBD (Code: RadicallyGenuine)10% off Lovetuner click here

202. The Session That Made Me Question Everything I Know About Healing

In this mind-bending episode, Dr. Roger McFillin shares the therapy session that shattered his understanding of how healing actually works. Originally written on his substack he feels compelled to share the entire story (with his clients permission). What started as a routine Monday evening appointment with a client overwhelmed,  ready to give up and go on psychiatric drugs became the most extraordinary 90 minutes of his career. By the end, he witnessed something that defied all explanation—and then his car did something in the parking lot that made him question reality itself. A powerful lesson in the abilities we all possess but have forgotten.

200. Psychiatrist Joanna Moncrieff Exposes the Antidepressant Lies & Chemical Imbalance Myth

Joanna Moncrieff is a British psychiatrist and academic. She is Professor of Critical and Social Psychiatry at University College London and a member of the Critical Psychiatry Network. She is the author of The Myth of the Chemical Cure and The Bitterest Pills, which are considered central texts in the critical psychiatry movement. Moncrieff is critical of mainstream psychiatry’s medical model of mental illness. Professor Moncrief's 2022 paper in molecular psychiatry didn't just make waves, it created a tsunami. Leading a systemic review of five decades of research, she and her team definitively demonstrated what no one had dared to state so clearly that there's no convincing evidence that depression is caused by a serotonin imbalance or any chemical imbalance at all. This paper became one of the most widely read scientific papers in modern history, ranking in the top 5 % of all research ever tracked. The world took notice because the world needed to know. Her groundbreaking new book, Chemically Imbalanced, The Making and Unmaking of the Serotonin Myth, meticulously documents how an entire medical narrative was constructed without scientific foundation marketed to billions and defended by institutions that should know better.https://joannamoncrieff.com/2022 paper in molecular psychiatry on Serotonin Chemically Imbalanced: The Making and Unmaking of the Serotonin Myth Visit Center for Integrated Behavioral HealthDr. Roger McFillin / Radically Genuine WebsiteYouTube @RadicallyGenuineDr. Roger McFillin (@DrMcFillin) / XSubstack | Radically Genuine | Dr. Roger McFillinInstagram @radicallygenuineContact Radically GenuineConscious Clinician CollectivePLEASE SUPPORT OUR PARTNERS15% Off Pure Spectrum CBD (Code: RadicallyGenuine)10% off Lovetuner click here

He received his PhD in Nutritional Sciences from the University of Connecticut, completed his postdoctoral research at the University of Illinois, and served as Assistant Professor at Brooklyn College before choosing to work independently - free from institutional constraints - in science research and education.

197. Are Synthetic Food Dyes Creating an ADHD Epidemic?

When Brandon and Whitney Cawood's three-year-old son was expelled from daycare for aggressive behavior, they faced a crossroads that would change not only their lives but potentially millions of others. Rather than accepting the psychiatric diagnoses being pushed on them, they discovered something shocking: their son's severe behavioral issues weren't psychological at all—they were chemical reactions to synthetic food dyes hiding in his daily allergy medication and antibiotics.Within 48 hours of removing these petroleum-based chemicals from his diet, they met their real son for the first time. This revelation launched them on a journey that would lead to creating the documentary "To Dye For," building a community of nearly one million parents, and influencing legislation across multiple states.To Dye For Documentary Visit Center for Integrated Behavioral HealthDr. Roger McFillin / Radically Genuine WebsiteYouTube @RadicallyGenuineDr. Roger McFillin (@DrMcFillin) / XSubstack | Radically Genuine | Dr. Roger McFillinInstagram @radicallygenuineContact Radically GenuineConscious Clinician CollectivePLEASE SUPPORT OUR PARTNERS15% Off Pure Spectrum CBD (Code: RadicallyGenuine)10% off Lovetuner click here

195. My FDA Panel Testimony on Antidepressants in Pregnancy - And the Media Response

The FDA held a panel discussion on antidepressants used during pregnancy. I was one of the expert presenters, and what I witnessed should alarm anyone who cares about honest medicine. In this episode, I break down the mainstream media response and what they kept out: SSRIs cross the placenta, change fetal brain development, and there is no proof they work at all- let alone prevent postpartum depression. You’ll also hear why this is bigger than one drug class. It's about a system that medicalizes emotions and protects profit over people. If you want the truth the headlines won’t give you, start here.
