  • On Episode 150 of the Radically Genuine Podcast I interview Ethan Watters an investigative journalist and author. He is most widely known for his book “Crazy Like Us: The Globalization of the American Psyche” published in 2010. He has also appeared on a number of media outlets such as Good Morning America, Talk of the Nation, and CNN and written articles published in The New York Times Magazine, Spin, Details, Mother Jones, Glamour, GQ, Esquire, and the San Francisco Chronicle Magazine.
    Does our western conceptualization of mental illness actually create more harm than good? We explore how the export of Western mental health concepts is changing the nature of mental illness globally, examining the impact of Western narratives on depression, schizophrenia and PTSD in non-Western societies. The conversation critiques the assumption that Western therapy is universally applicable and discusses the medicalization of emotional distress in Western cultures.

  • On episode 149 of the Radically Genuine Podcast Dr. Roger McFillin interviews Sigmar Berg, who is the founder of Love Tuner - a fascinating tool that produces the 528 hz frequency, also known as the “Love Vibration.” And Miracle Tone. Recent advances in quantum physics are reshaping our understanding of human nature at a fundamental level. Our bodies, cognitive processes, and even consciousness can be conceptualized as intricate energy patterns. The 528 Hertz frequency, known as the Love Vibration and Miracle Tone, has been shown to have various positive effects on the body and mind. It can reduce stress, increase relaxation, lower tension and anxiety, repair DNA, and promote healing. Living in the present moment and connecting with nature are also important for overall well-being. The scientific research supports the power of vibration and frequency in influencing our health and consciousness. The conversation explores the power of frequency and vibration in promoting well-being and raising consciousness.

  • This episode rips the mask off America's educational farce, exposing a system designed not to enlighten, but to indoctrinate and pacify. We're churning out obedient drones, not free thinkers. From rote memorization to ideological brainwashing, our schools are assembly lines for mediocrity. Dr. Roger McFillin welcomes back award winning teacher and Radically Genuine OG Kelly Wetherhold with Daniel Herbruger, a Guatemalan-American who has founded “Critical Thinking Schooling”. He taught at Francisco Marroquin University in Guatemala which is known as The University of Free Marketeers and has been featured regularly on Telemunda. We dissect the Marxist rot infecting our classrooms, the identity politics dividing our youth, and the fear-based tactics crushing creativity. But it's not all doom and gloom – we offer a lifeline through critical thinking, a Socratic approach to shatter the chains of institutional groupthink.

  • In this episode, Dr. Roger McFillin interviews Lindsay Gibson, author of the memoir 'Just Be: How My Stillborn Son Taught Me to Surrender.' Lindsay was a normal, happy teenager, but at the tender age of sixteen, she found herself terrorized by the hands of a rapist…with a mission to end her life and whose brutal force robbed her innocence. For thirteen years she was left with numbing pain and silence…until one cold November morning, sitting in her doctor’s office - her life changed forever. She was six months pregnant with her second baby, a son and the fetal monitor was silent…a silence that matched her own. This episode is a powerful first hand account of the aftermath of trauma, how the medical and mental health system respond and what ultimately lead to her recovery and transformation. Lindsay shares her intuitive abilities as a child and how they played a role in her survival. They also touch on the challenges of finding understanding and compassionate mental health professionals and the stigma surrounding intense emotions. Warning: Details of sexual assault are discussed.

  • Dr. Eric Maisel discussed the profound and often contentious issues surrounding mental health, religion, psychiatry, and the nature of human consciousness. Dr. Maisel, a prolific author and critical thinker, shares his insights on the pathologization of everyday struggles, the impact of psychiatric diagnoses, and the importance of reclaiming personal meaning and resilience. Dr. Eric Maisel is a psychotherapist, coach, teacher and author of more than 50 books that include “ Rethinking Depression: How to shed mental health labels and create personal meaning” published in 2012 , “The Future of Mental Health: Deconstructing the Mental Disorder Paradigm in 2015 and his most recent book “Redesign Your Mind” published in 2021. His contributions are diverse and vast. A lifelong atheist, Maisel described in his 2009 book The Atheist's Way: Living Well Without Gods how individuals can negotiate the paradigm shift from seeking meaning (in religion, spiritual pursuits, or anywhere else) to making meaning. Eric expresses his reservations about fully embracing higher states of consciousness and discusses the complexities of love and its potential dangers. The conversation concludes with a discussion on the history and criticisms of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM) and the medicalization of mental health. In this conversation, Dr. Roger McFillin and Dr. Eric Maisel discuss the current state of the mental health system and its impact on individuals and society. They explore the role of psychiatry in controlling and labeling individuals, the importance of embracing darkness and suffering as part of the human experience, and the need for individual and collective resistance against harmful systems.

    Key Quotes:

    Dr. Roger McFillin: "Our understanding of the brain is still evolving and ever-growing. Notions of abnormal development may actually represent natural variations in neurological functioning."


    Dr. Roger McFillin: "The key is recognizing this is a skill to be developed, not a disorder to be medicated. By understanding and working with our brain's natural tendencies rather than against them, we can enhance our focus."


    Dr. Kristin Reihman: "We help people understand where the glitches are so they can actually rewire them and get to the place where they don't need medication. They don't lose their neurodiversity and brilliance just because it's easier to function in the world."


    Dr. Kristin Reihman: "If the brain gets the signal to grow, heal, and organize at the midbrain, it will continue that process on the way up. It's really a bottoms-up approach that focuses on resetting the stage for the brain to work properly."


    Dr. Kristin Reihman: "The Family Hope Center uses an integrated neurological chart to measure a variety of brain functions. We chart people's abilities and plug in a program to stimulate growth in specific areas, helping to smooth out the road from the ground up."

  • Dr. Jaclynn Moskow is a trained physician scientist, writer, healthcare business consultant, and well known professional poker player. The medical industrial complex, much like a high-stakes poker game, operates on a grand scale where the players are institutions, corporations, and policy makers, but the chips are human lives and well-being. Just as a skilled poker player might exploit less experienced opponents, we're seeing a system that prioritizes profit over patient care. The 'house' - in this case, big pharma, insurance companies, and certain healthcare conglomerates - seems to hold all the cards, making rules that benefit their bottom line rather than public health. On todays episode we learn more about medical school training, how a physician is trained to think, what happens when the doctor becomes the patient, what does it mean to overcome mental health or health problems, psychedelics and what poker can teach us about life.

  • The FDA has approved the first pill for postpartum depression, Zuranolone (Zurzuvae) on August 4th, 2023. We discuss this and more with Katie Galvin, a former speech language pathologist turned women's functional nutrition practitioner, holistic life coach, and postpartum doula, who shares her personal experience with postpartum health challenges and the flaws in the standard allopathic medical model. She discusses the lack of informed consent and alternative treatment options provided by doctors, the importance of addressing the complexity of postpartum health holistically, and the need for proper nutrition and support during the postpartum period. We examine how the drug Zuranolone became approved, the financial conflicts of interest and the potential harms to mothers that take this drug. The conversation highlights the need for a shift in the medical approach to postpartum care and the recognition of the unique physiological changes and emotional challenges women face during this time. The conversation explores the flaws in the current medical system and the need for a more holistic approach to healthcare. It discusses the pressure on doctors to maintain authority and the consequences of this mindset. The conversation also delves into the pharmaceutical industry's influence on medical practices and the lack of informed consent. The importance of addressing the root causes of health issues and empowering individuals to take control of their own well-being is emphasized. The conversation concludes with a call to resist the current system and seek alternative approaches to healthcare.

    For over a hundred years, corporate interests have been steering the direction of healthcare in the United States. Checklists have been implemented as a way to reduce medical mistakes, but this approach has led to overzealous use of treatments and medications, creating a cycle of ongoing care that is often not required.

  • In this episode, Dr. Roger McFillin and Dr. Brett Deacon examine the state of the mental health field and the potential harms of certain therapeutic practices. The conversation skillfully weaves insights from the film "Good Will Hunting" to explore multifaceted themes, including the limitations of the biomedical model in addressing human experiences, the nuanced role of boundaries and self-disclosure in relationships, and the broader cultural tendency to pathologize emotional expressions. They discuss the need for ethical, evidence-based care amid the field's splintered nature and our need to reframe happiness as living a meaningful life aligned with one's values, rather than just managing thoughts and feelings.

    Brett Deacon, PhD serves as an Associate Professor and Program Convener for Clinical Psychology at the University of Melbourne, Australia. His academic journey includes obtaining a PhD in clinical psychology from Northern Illinois University, followed by a postdoctoral fellowship at the Mayo Clinic. Over the past 15 years, he has contributed to academia and dedicated five years to full-time private practice.

  • How We Normalized Mood & Mind Altering Drugs as Mental Healthcare

    How did we come to a situation where over 20% of the population depends on at least one psychiatric drug, with this figure continuing to rise? Why are these drugs being prescribed by nonspecialists seemingly without consideration of their consequences? There has been a societal shift in how drugs are viewed and normalized as mental health care. The discussion touches on the role of advertising, industry influence, and the medical establishment in shaping this shift.
