Radically Genuine Podcast with Dr. Roger McFillin

What if the mental health crisis isn't just a medical problem—but a spiritual one being treated with the wrong tools? In this paradigm-shifting episode, Beatty Carmichael reveals how he's helped over 1,000 people find freedom from conditions labeled as mental illness, chronic pain, and addiction—often within 24 hours—by addressing what he calls the "spiritual roots" of suffering. After God took away his supernatural healing gift that worked 90% of the time, Carmichael was forced to develop a systematic approach that anyone can learn. Watch as he demonstrates his Prayer of Freedom process live with Dr. McFillin, producing real-time results that challenge everything we think we know about healing. Whether you're struggling with anxiety, depression, chronic pain, or simply curious about the intersection of spirituality and health, this conversation offers a radically different perspective on why traditional approaches may be failing—and what actually works when we address the invisible forces at play.About Beatty Carmichael:Beatty Carmichael is a former business executive who comes from seven generations of medical doctors.

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. We discuss the way out. https://thesteadycoach.com/https://www.youtube.com/@thesteadycoach 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

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

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.

Most of us never think about how we breathe but science shows it may be one of the most overlooked drivers of health and disease.Dr. Roger McFillin talks with Dr. Amy Lichon, a double-board-certified physician who left a successful hospital career to teach people how to heal through their breath. They explore why mouth breathing fuels anxiety, insomnia, and fatigue, how carbon dioxide and nasal breathing affect the nervous system, and why a century-old method called Buteyko could transform sleep, focus, and even athletic performance.You’ll learn practical tools from a simple “control pause” test to techniques for decongesting the nose and calming the nervous system that anyone can start today. If you’ve tried everything for stress, sleep, or focus and nothing sticks, this conversation may reveal the missing piece.Learn more about Dr. Amy Lichon here: https://www.courami.com/ 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

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

Most people think electroshock therapy was abandoned decades ago. The unfortunate truth is it’s still widely used, with well over 100,000 (probably much higher) Americans receiving ECT every year.Yet the devices have never been properly safety tested.In this episode, Dr. Roger McFillin sits down with Sarah Price Hancock, a certified rehabilitation counselor, educator, and survivor who underwent 116 ECT treatments. Sarah lost 85–90% of her memories from the first 36 years of her life, developed neurological complications, and later learned her original psychiatric symptoms weren’t even a mental illness.Life After ECT 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

Dr. Chris Masterjohn is the host of the Mastering Nutrition Podcast and founder of Mitome, where he helps people optimize their mitochondrial health through advanced analysis. 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. His groundbreaking SSRI series on his substack hasn't just exposed the truth about these drugs. It's revealed that we've been looking at them completely wrong. Dr. McFillin and Dr. Masterjohn expose how these drugs act as mitochondrial toxins, disrupt cellular energy, and deplete serotonin. They also explore the consequences no one talks about: from prenatal exposure to why so many patients say they feel “dead inside.”Chris Masterjohn, PhD 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

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

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.

Once paraded in the media as a hero, Dr. James Henry became the symbol of a “progressive” military—the first openly transgender active-duty officer. But the story the public saw was only part of the truth. In this episode, Dr. Henry shares what really happened behind the scenes. The early struggles with identity. The weight of religious shame. The celebration that came with transitioning—and the breakdown that followed. He opens up about being misdiagnosed, overmedicated, and failed by the very systems meant to protect him. Now, years later, Dr. Henry faces a federal indictment after a confrontation with the FBI. This is not a story of affirmation. It’s a story of survival, betrayal, and the cost of speaking out.

In this explosive and highly anticipated episode, Dr. Roger McFillin hosts Dr. Ragy Girgis, a Columbia University Professor of Psychiatry and researcher, for a no-holds-barred confrontation that exposes the shocking divisions tearing apart the mental health field. What begins as a conversation about mass violence research rapidly explodes into a devastating examination of psychiatric medicine's crumbling foundations, questionable effectiveness, and devastating potential harms. The two clash in fierce, unrelenting disagreements over fundamental issues including the validity of DSM diagnoses, the debunked "chemical imbalance" theory of depression, dangerous SSRI safety cover-ups and black box warnings, corrupted research quality and pharmaceutical industry manipulation, and the catastrophic crisis of psychiatric drug overprescription poisoning 1 in 4-5 Americans. Dr. Girgis desperately defends traditional academic psychiatry and current treatment approaches, while Dr. McFillin ruthlessly dismantles the entire paradigm, arguing that the current system is systematically creating chronic mental illness rather than healing it. Buckle up for this brutal intellectual warfare.___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________Throughout the interview, Dr. Girgis repeatedly stated that "the data is clear" while dismissing contradictory evidence that challenges his conclusions. For our listeners' benefit, I have compiled research and documentation that directly disputes several of Dr. Girgis's key claims.Serotonin Hypothesis of Depression1. The serotonin theory of depression: a systematic umbrella review of the evidence (Moncrieff et al.)Conclusions: "This review suggests that the huge research effort based on the serotonin hypothesis has NOT produced convincing evidence of a biochemical basis to depression. This is consistent with research on many other biological markers . We suggest it is time to acknowledge that the serotonin theory of depression is NOT empirically substantiated."2.What has serotonin to do with depression?Conclusions: "Simple biochemical theories that link low levels of serotonin with depressed mood are no longer tenable."3.

The 1988 document indicated that 3.7 percent of patients attempted suicide while on the blockbuster drug, a rate more than 12 times that cited for any of four other commonly used antidepressants.In addition, the paper said that 1.6 percent of patients reported incidents of hostility -- more than double the rate reported by patients on any of four other commonly used antidepressants."Examples of Violence after Prescription in legal system (Sample)January 24, 2020 – Newcastle, South Dublin, Ireland: Deirdre Morley, 44, smothered and killed her two sons Conor, 9, and Darragh, 7, and her three-year-old daughter Carla McGinley in their family home.
