0:00Hi everyone, Drew Prode here.

0:01A couple of months ago, I got a text message from one of my podcast listeners who's become a little bit of a friend, Glenn Muir.

0:07And Glenn said, There's a guy that I met recently, a doctor, doing some groundbreaking stuff.

0:12And his work has made such an impact in my little circle that I'm connected to.

0:17You gotta have him on your podcast.

0:19And I'm excited to tell you a little bit about who this guest is.

0:22But first, when we think about mental trauma, we typically think that it lives inside the mind and it's there forever.

0:30Something that we relive through through our thoughts over and over again.

0:35But what if that's not the full story?

0:38Today's guest presents a different theory.

0:40What if mental trauma is actually a physical injury to the body?

0:45One we could potentially treat with a specific tool and technique.

0:49Dr.

0:50Eugene Leipoff is an anesthesiologist, physician, and a TEDx speaker who's one of the leading voices challenging how we think about trauma.

0:57He is a pioneer behind a controversial treatment called the stellate ganglion block, which involves a targeted injection to a bundle of nerves in the neck to help reset the body's stress response.
