In Vivo

What if your brain is actually a "reducing valve" that filters out most of reality? In this episode, we dive deep into the world of DMT (N-Dimethyltryptamine) and 5-MeO-DMT with Dr. Chris Timmermann from the Center for Psychedelic Research at Imperial College London. His work focuses on the effects of DMT on the human brain and how it can help us understand the relationship between brain activity and conscious experience. In this episode we explore how these powerful molecules are being used as tools to study the very limits of human consciousness and the nature of reality itself.Dr. Timmermann’s Lab - https://www.uccr.uk/Dr. Timmermann on X - @neurodeliaIn Vivo on X - https://x.com/InVivoPodOnXIn Vivo on Youtube - https://www.youtube.com/@InVivoPodcastIn Vivo on Apple Podcast - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/in-vivo/id1775578563In Vivo on Amazon Podcasts - https://music.amazon.ca/podcasts/1ac4dbec-df46-4d1f-b0a1-742e9656ef44/in-vivo

Dr. Aiello is a quantum engineer and researcher working at the intersection of quantum physics, quantum engineering, and quantum biology, to explore a provocative idea: that there may be a basal, underlying quantum layer to life itself.Many people encounter quantum mechanics for the first time and come away thinking it’s mysterious, abstract, or even “magic.” But as Dr. Aiello explains, quantum mechanics is not only real—it is practical, engineerable, and already shaping modern technology. From quantum computers to quantum sensors, quantum engineers are building instruments that can control and manipulate quantum systems with extraordinary precision.Dr. Clarice Aiello on X - https://x.com/ClariceDAielloThe Quantum Biology Institute on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/quantum-biology-institute/The Quantum Biology Institute - https://www.quantumbiology.org/The QBI on X - https://x.com/QuantumBioOrgThe Quantum Biology DAO on X - https://x.com/QuantumBioDAOIn Vivo on X - https://x.com/InVivoPodOnXIn Vivo on Youtube - https://www.youtube.com/@InVivoPodcastIn Vivo on Apple Podcast - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/in-vivo/id1775578563In Vivo on Amazon Podcasts - https://music.amazon.ca/podcasts/1ac4dbec-df46-4d1f-b0a1-742e9656ef44/in-vivo

In this episode of In Vivo, we dive deep into the "Hard Problem of Consciousness" with world-renowned anesthesiologist and researcher Dr. Stuart Hameroff. For decades, the mainstream scientific community has viewed the brain as a biological computer, with consciousness being a mere byproduct of complex neural wiring. But Dr. Hameroff, alongside Nobel Laureate Sir Roger Penrose, suggests a far more radical reality.Together, they developed the Orchestrated Objective Reduction (Orch-OR) theory, which proposes that consciousness arises from quantum vibrations within microscopic structures called microtubules.Drawing on his unique perspective as an anesthesiologist—the person responsible for literally turning consciousness "off" and "on"—Dr. Hameroff explains why our subjective experience (qualia) cannot be explained by classical physics alone. 0:00 Introduction & How I Discovered Dr. Hameroff's Work1:00 Defining Consciousness: The Hard Problem & Subjective Experience2:30 Classical vs. Quantum Views of Consciousness5:00 Microtubules 101: Structure, Function & Early Research8:45 Quantum Mechanics Basics: Superposition, Entanglement & Decoherence12:15 Introducing Orch-OR: Orchestrated Objective Reduction Explained18:30 Supporting Evidence for Orch-OR & Anesthesia's Role25:00 Free Will & Non-Algorithmic Processing32:00 Potential Therapies: Alzheimer's, Dementia & Microtubule Stabilization38:45 Quantum Effects Beyond the Brain – Other Cells & Proteins?45:00 Tubulin Count & Levels of Consciousness Across Species50:30 Panpsychism & Consciousness in Non-Biological Matter55:00 Psychedelics, Dreaming & the Afterlife in Orch-OR1:02:00 Quantum Soul, Near-Death Experiences & Reincarnation Speculation1:09:00 Transcranial Ultrasound & Brain Volume Changes in Alzheimer's1:16:00 Closing Thoughts & Personal Impact of the Theory1:22:00 Final Reflections & Thanks to Dr. Hameroff#consciousness #QuantumPhysics #StuartHameroff #RogerPenrose #Microtubules #OrchOR #TheHardProblem #QuantumBiology #SciencePodcast #InVivoDr. Hameroff’s at The University of Arizona – https://hameroff.arizona.edu/ Dr. Hameroff’s X page - https://x.com/StuartHameroffIn Vivo on X - https://x.com/InVivoPodOnXIn Vivo on Youtube - https://www.youtube.com/@InVivoPodcastIn Vivo on Apple Podcast - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/in-vivo/id1775578563In Vivo on Amazon Podcasts - https://music.amazon.ca/podcasts/1ac4dbec-df46-4d1f-b0a1-742e9656ef44/in-vivo

My guest today, Dr. Oded Rechavi, is a brilliant polymath who has dedicated his career to radical problem-solving. He's famous for discovering the inheritance of acquired memories and using ancient DNA sequencing to reconstruct the 2,000-year-old Dead Sea Scrolls.But now, he's tackling his biggest problem yet: the broken peer review process.The system, which has been the "gold standard" of science since 1665, has become a slow, biased, and soul-crushing bottleneck. We discuss why scientists are now acting like "cowards" and why it took six years for one of his papers to get published.Dr. Rechavi's answer is QED—an innovative AI platform he built to democratize and depoliticize research feedback.QED acts as an "MRI for logic," breaking down papers into core claims (logic trees), ruthlessly hunting for missing controls, logical gaps, and statistical errors—all in minutes, not months or years. It removes the author's identity and prestige to ensure a truly objective critique.00:00 The Tyranny of Peer Review01:12 Introducing Dr. ODed Avi01:39 The Broken System of Peer Review01:52 QED: Revolutionizing Peer Review with AI03:00 The Impact of Peer Review on Scientists04:40 Challenges and Biases in the Review Process09:00 The Addiction to Impact Factor17:32 The Future of Peer Review: AI and Transparency36:17 Addressing AI Fears and Misconceptions36:54 AI's Role in Enhancing Human Feedback37:32 Quality and Challenges of AI Reviews40:48 Future Applications of QED42:15 Development and Evolution of QED43:34 Challenges in AI and Future Improvements50:09 The Future of Scientific Publishing51:52 Interdisciplinary Research: Dead Sea Scrolls53:04 The Importance of Historical Context in Science01:10:00 Concluding Thoughts and Future VisionDr. Rechavi's lab - https://www.odedrechavilab.com/Dr. Rechavi on X - https://x.com/OdedRechaviQED - https://www.qedscience.com/In Vivo on X - https://x.com/InVivoPodOnXIn Vivo on Youtube - https://www.youtube.com/@InVivoPodcastIn Vivo on Apple Podcast - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/in-vivo/id1775578563In Vivo on Amazon Podcasts - https://music.amazon.ca/podcasts/1ac4dbec-df46-4d1f-b0a1-742e9656ef44/in-vivo#SSRICrisis #FDAInsider #AntidepressantSideEffects #PSSD #SSRIWithdrawal #DrugTapering #SerotoninTheory #DrJosefWittDoerring #BigPharma #MentalHealthAwareness

Former FDA medical officer Dr. Josef Witt-Doerring joins me to blow the whistle on the widespread overprescription of psychiatric medications and the dangerous lack of proper SSRI tapering guidance.Dr. Witt-Doerring, who served in the FDA's Division of Psychiatry, reveals how the entire system—from clinical trials to prescribing habits—is built on a flawed foundation. He exposes the truth behind the serotonin theory of depression and explains why the long-term data on antidepressant side effects is virtually non-existent.In this must-watch interview, Dr. Witt-Doerring covers:The Serotonin Lie: Why the "chemical imbalance" narrative is bankrupt and how it led to a crisis.The Opioid Parallel: Drawing a direct line between the opioid crisis and the casual overprescription of SSRIs.Post-SSRI Sexual Dysfunction (PSSD): The devastating, potentially permanent side effect that affects up to 70% of users and is routinely ignored.The Tapering Crisis: Why doctors are practicing outside the evidence base when advising patients on SSRI withdrawal and the urgent need for slow, meticulous drug tapering protocols.Big Pharma's Data Gap: Why controlled trials for these powerful drugs rarely last longer than a few months.If you or a loved one is taking psychiatric medication or considering getting off antidepressants, this is the most critical conversation you can hear. Dr. Josef is now one of the leading voices advocating for safe medication withdrawal and responsible mental health care.You may also enjoy: https://youtu.be/LxHimAbxSrY?si=o0VLoLVcf28nc25Q&t=1Connect with Dr. Josef Witt-Doerring's Work:Find out more about his work, the taper clinic, and resources: www.taperclinic.comCheck out the Dr. Josef YouTube Channel for more on mental health in America and psychiatry in the news:  @taperclinic  In Vivo on X - https://x.com/InVivoPodOnXIn Vivo on Youtube - https://www.youtube.com/@InVivoPodcastIn Vivo on Apple Podcast - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/in-vivo/id1775578563In Vivo on Amazon Podcasts - https://music.amazon.ca/podcasts/1ac4dbec-df46-4d1f-b0a1-742e9656ef44/in-vivo#SSRICrisis #FDAInsider #AntidepressantSideEffects #PSSD #SSRIWithdrawal #DrugTapering #SerotoninTheory #DrJosefWittDoerring #BigPharma #MentalHealthAwareness

In this episode I speak with Dr. Emma Hapke, a leading psychiatrist, psychotherapist, and psychedelic researcher who ran the MAPS Canada MDMA trials in Montreal.Dr. Hapke provides an expert, on-the-ground look at the clinical trials and therapeutic process using substances like MDMA for PTSD and high-dose Psilocybin therapy for patients struggling with depression and end-of-life distress (fear of death/unprocessed grief).What you will learn:The Clinical Process: Dr. Hapke walks us through the intensive patient screening process, the preparation sessions, the high-dose treatment day, and the critical role of post-session integration and a two-therapist model.The Psychedelic Experience: Discover why these medicines are non-specific "amplifiers of the psyche" that facilitate a depth-oriented psychotherapeutic process. She cautions against the media narrative of a "brain reset," emphasizing that the medicines act as "catalysts for this deep work," which remains challenging for the patient.History and Future: We explore the deep history of altered consciousness and plant medicine in indigenous cultures, the 20th-century rediscovery with Albert Hofmann and LSD, and how the War on Drugs caused a decades-long setback for research.This discussion cuts through the "hope and the hype" to provide a clear, scientifically grounded view of where psychedelic medicine is today and its promise for the future of mental healthcare.Dr. Hapke's profile - https://www.uhn.ca/MentalHealth/Research/Psychedelic-Psychotherapy-Research/Pages/who-we-are.aspxIn Vivo on X - https://x.com/InVivoPodOnXIn Vivo on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@InVivoPodcastIn Vivo on Apple Podcast - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/in-vivo/id1775578563In Vivo on Amazon Podcasts - https://music.amazon.ca/podcasts/1ac4dbec-df46-4d1f-b0a1-742e9656ef44/in-vivo

In this episode of In Vivo, I sit down with Dr. Nicholas Fabiano, a psychiatry resident and leading voice challenging the very foundation of modern mental health care. Dr. Fabiano argues that by separating the mind and body, Western medicine has created a dangerous medical divide that is failing patients.We dive deep into his viral assertion: "Could not prescribing exercise for depression be psychiatric malpractice?"In this groundbreaking conversation, you will discover:The Mind-Body Connection: Why the ancient concept that physical and mental health are inseparable is being ignored today, and why this historical blunder is hurting millions.The Exercise Prescription: The scientific evidence proving why exercise is often a more effective treatment for mild-to-moderate depression and anxiety than traditional methods.Beyond the Serotonin Hypothesis: Why the focus on "chemical imbalances" is often misleading and what true root causes—like inflammation and sleep—drive mental illness.Integrative Psychiatry's Blueprint: Dr. Fabiano shares the lifestyle factors every doctor should be prioritizing, including a discussion on the role of supplements like creatine and depression, the alarming discovery of microplastics in the body and brain, and the complex effects of marijuana legalization on public mental health.The Future of Wellness: How to move Psychiatry Beyond the Brain to treat the whole person for sustainable well-being.If you or a loved one have struggled with depression, anxiety, or feel frustrated with the pill-first approach of modern medicine, this interview is mandatory viewing.#PsychiatryBeyondTheBrain #DrFabiano #IntegrativePsychiatry #MindBodyConnection #ExerciseForDepression #MentalHealth #DepressionTreatment #AnxietyRelief #LifestyleMedicine #SerotoninHypothesis #MedicalMalpractice #HolisticHealth #MentalWellness #Inflammation #CreatineAndDepressionDr. Nicholas Fabiano's X page - https://x.com/NTFabianoIn Vivo on X - https://x.com/InVivoPodOnXIn Vivo on Youtube - https://www.youtube.com/@InVivoPodcastIn Vivo on Apple Podcast - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/in-vivo/id1775578563In Vivo on Amazon Podcasts - https://music.amazon.ca/podcasts/1ac4dbec-df46-4d1f-b0a1-742e9656ef44/in-vivo

On September 22, 2025, the Trump administration held a landmark press conference in the White House Roosevelt Room, presenting evidence linking prenatal acetaminophen (Tylenol) exposure to autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Led by President Trump and HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the announcement prompted immediate FDA actions, including label reviews and advisories urging caution during pregnancy—sparking global debate on a drug long considered safe for kids and expectant mothers.In this episode of the In Vivo podcast, I speak with Dr. William Parker, a scientist at the center of the acetaminophen-Autism connection.

In this episode of In Vivo, we sit down with Dr. Tomás Duraj to challenge a century of conventional wisdom about cancer. For decades, the dominant theory has been the somatic mutation theory, which suggests cancer is a genetic disease caused by random mutations.Dr. Duraj and his colleagues are proposing a paradigm shift, viewing cancer as a mitochondrial metabolic disease. This theory explains that cancer cells are fundamentally different from healthy cells in how they produce energy, relying on a less efficient form of energy production through glucose and glutamine fermentation. This metabolic inflexibility is what makes them vulnerable.We discuss the history of cancer research, the flaws in the current paradigm, and the exciting potential of a new approach: Ketogenic Metabolic Therapy (KMT). Dr. Duraj explains how KMT, which includes a ketogenic diet, is not just a diet but a comprehensive strategy to create a metabolic disadvantage for cancer cells while protecting and empowering healthy ones.We cover:The Warburg Effect and the metabolic theory of cancerThe difference between how healthy cells and cancer cells generate ATPHow a ketogenic diet and other therapies can synergistically target cancer's vulnerabilitiesThe potential of KMT in treating aggressive cancers like glioblastomaThis is a must-watch for anyone interested in a new perspective on cancer research and treatment.Connect with Dr. Tomás Duraj: http://www.tomasduraj.com/Dr. Duraj's 2024 paper on KMT: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39639257/In Vivo on X - https://x.com/InVivoPodOnXIn Vivo on Youtube - https://www.youtube.com/@InVivoPodcastIn Vivo on Apple Podcast - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/in-vivo/id1775578563In Vivo on Amazon Podcasts - https://music.amazon.ca/podcasts/1ac4dbec-df46-4d1f-b0a1-742e9656ef44/in-vivo
