MH25-15. Paul D Corona, MD, The Corona Protocol:

Self Discovery Wisdom Podcast

Mental Health Awareness with Sara Troy and her guest Paul D Corona, MD, on air from April 15th

Paul D Corona, MD, a Southern California-based physician who is reshaping the future of psychiatry and family medicine? With over 30 years of medical experience, Dr. Corona is not your typical physician. Starting his career in family medicine, he seamlessly transitioned into psychiatry, ultimately pioneering an approach he calls “Mind and Body Healing.” 

Dr. Corona has authored three books in his “My Mind & Body Healing” series, offering revolutionary insights into the treatment of mental health and challenging conventional methods that have been stagnant for decades.

Are you tired of one-size-fits-all mental health solutions? Dr. Corona offers an unconventional yet tried-and-true approach to psychiatry, which includes the off-label use of medications, combined treatment methods, and aggressive strategies that get results. Above all, he believes that mental health treatment is not about quick fixes but a carefully calibrated balance that leads to holistic healing.

In an insightful interview, Dr. Corona sheds light on what makes his treatment methods revolutionary in the realm of psychiatry, offering a refreshing divergence from traditional models. Central to his practice is Mind Body Medicine, a holistic approach that acknowledges the profound interconnection between physical health and mental well-being. He challenges the conventional psychiatric model, questioning its dependency on symptom-based diagnoses and long-term pharmaceutical solutions, advocating instead for root-cause healing. Known for embracing the off-label use of medications, Dr. Corona sees this as a practical necessity rather than an anomaly, emphasizing real-world patient results over rigid protocols. With a foundation in family medicine, he brings a unique perspective to psychiatry, understanding the body as a whole system and often identifying underlying medical conditions that manifest as mental health issues. He also explores the role of supplements and complementary therapies, cutting through the commercial noise to highlight what truly supports recovery. In an age increasingly attuned to holistic health, Dr. Corona’s methods align with modern wellness trends while remaining grounded in science and compassion. Lastly, he boldly addresses the societal implications of mental health, arguing that early and integrative intervention in psychiatry could help curb crises like school shootings and suicides, underscoring the need for proactive, not reactive, care.

C23-45. Jackie Heller, MD, Our Inner Saboteur.

Self Discovery Wisdom Podcast

Choose Positive Living with Sara Troy and her guest Jackie Heller MD, on air from November 7th

The Big Idea: Deeply hidden fears, hurts, and longings may lead to symptoms and eventually maladaptive behaviors. Such unhealed wounds may become acute or chronic triggers if our defenses against the reservoir of pain are failing. They can be triggered by a person, object, smell, sound, dream, illness, or more. Our buried memories and emotions surface in ways that may sabotage us.  

The So-What: Knowing our emotions and the shifts in the here and now is crucial since our feelings are rooted in past events that may have no obvious context today, yet control our attitudes and behaviors in ways we don’t understand. An effective way to confront our inner life, including an inner saboteur, is to get in touch with shifts in our body that can help us label our emotions and interpret and understand our feelings. Mindful self-reflection enables us to become aware of buried events from our past. Such reflection is a two-part process of focused self-exploration that involves going inward and upward — identifying our physical sensations and labeling our emotions, and then thinking about what they mean. It involves introspectating, combining introspective (looking inward) with spectate (looking on as a spectator).

YH22-39. Greg Hammer, MD, “nonjudgmental Mindfulness”

Self Discovery Wisdom Podcast

Your Health is Your Choice with Sara Troy and her guest Greg Hammer ,MD, on air from September 20th

Greg Hammer, MD, Stanford School of Medicine professor, physician, best-selling author, and mindfulness expert, shares tips to become more nonjudgmental and explains the benefits.

Most people admirably strive to be “nonjudgmental” towards others.  Coming from a place of nonjudgment allows us to see the best in others without letting our own biases get in the way.  However, in order to become less judgmental, we need to change how we think about ourselves and the world around us. 

We make quick judgments every day about everything we see and put these things into categories, such as healthy/ unhealthy, affordable/ expensive, and good/ bad.  And how much more often do we make judgments about ourselves?? 

Mindfulness, or living in the present moment, gives us the space to practice nonjudgment.  First, we acknowledge how often we judge and that it is not necessary to judge.  Then we can practice living in the present and accepting the world, ourselves, and others as they are.

What is nonjudgment? Nonjudgment is observation without bias.  It’s understanding that reality is not necessarily good or bad— it just is. Nonjudgment is a natural extension of “living in the moment.”

What are the benefits of nonjudgment?

  • Nonjudgment allows you to see the best in yourself and others.
  • You’re freeing yourself from your own criticism.
  • You’re more open to positive experiences and opportunities.
  • What problems does judgment create?

Judgment prevents us from seeing what is really in front of us!  We risk missing out on making new friends, having great conversations, and learning something new.

Judgment stokes our own fears, anxieties, and insecurities which keep us stuck.

Our compulsive need to make judgments is tiring and takes our energy away from important tasks.

How does mindfulness inhibit judgment?

  • When we are focused on the present moment, we accept things as they are, which prevents judgment.
  • When practiced consistently, nonjudgment will become more natural, but it will most likely never be automatic.  Remaining nonjudgmental is a continual effort.

Any tips on practicing judgment?

  • Take a moment to be present (practice mindfulness) every morning before you start your day.  Set an intention to greet the first person you see with nonjudgment.
  • When you notice a judgment, release it.  You may not be able to stop all immediate judgments, but you can notice and capture them before they influence your behavior.
  • Remember that becoming aware of bias and judgment is an important first step.
  • If you notice that your self-talk is critical, try adjusting your tone to sound like you are talking to a dear friend.

YH22-16 Dr. John Poothullill and Childhood Cancers

Self Discovery Wisdom Podcast

Your Health is Your Choice with Sara Troy and her guest Dr John Poothullill, on-air from April 19TH

If you are the parent of a child with cancer, the overwhelming multitude of questions, feelings, and associated anxiety is hard to contain. What caused the cancer? What can you as a parent do to help your child live through it? What is the future for your child? 

In this insightful and thoughtful book, you will find information, hope, advice, and solace. Dr. John Poothullil expertly guides you to understand childhood cancer. He starts with his two new scientific theories to explain how the leading types of childhood cancers might occur, given that children have not lived long enough to develop the number of gene mutations that usually cause adult cancers. 

You will learn how you as parents can care for your child with cancer with understanding and sensitivity, creating a loving home environment full of communal activities to reduce everyone’s stress and worry. 

Most importantly, Dr. Poothullil explains why your child’s diet can be a key corollary element in controlling cancer along with the medical treatments. You will learn how a diet low in grains and grain-flour products slows cancer cell growth, giving your child’s immune system a better chance to contain it.

Dr. John Poothullil, MD, FRCP, has been investigating cancer for more than 8 years and food and nutrient intake for over 25 years. He is the author of three other books covering the topics of obesity, Type 2 diabetes, and cancer.

John Poothullill practiced medicine as a pediatrician and allergist for more than 30 years, with 27 of those years in the state of Texas. He received his medical degree from the University of Kerala, India in 1968, after which he did two years of medical residency in Washington, DC and Phoenix, AZ, and two years of fellowship, one in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and the other in Ontario, Canada. He began his practice in 1974 and retired in 2008. He holds certifications from the American Board of Pediatrics, The American Board of Allergy & Immunology, and the Canadian Board of Pediatrics.

During his medical practice, John became interested in understanding the causes of and interconnections between hunger, satiation, and weight gain. His interest turned into a passion and a multi-decade personal study and research project that led him to read many medical journal articles, medical textbooks, and other scholarly works in biology, biochemistry, physiology, endocrinology, and cellular metabolic functions. This eventually guided Dr. Poothullil to investigate the theory of insulin resistance as it relates to diabetes. Recognizing that this theory was illogical, he spent a few years rethinking the biology behind high blood sugar and finally developed the fatty acid burn switch as the real cause of diabetes. Recently his own cancer diagnosis lead him to research cancer and childhood cancer. 

The valuable extra material in the book includes simple instructions to do gardening and cooking as calming activities to enjoy life for children with cancer. Three superbly illustrated short stories that parents can share with their children are also included. 

AMAZON

This book is for anyone who has cancer localized to a single site and not yet colonized in another part of the body. It is also for anyone who believes they are at risk of cancer due to heredity, lifestyle, working conditions, or for any other reason. Surviving Cancer is especially important for people with Type 2 diabetes, with or without cancer, to learn about the link between the two.

RG21-24 Neonatologist Susan Landers, MD, So Many Babies.

Self Discovery Wisdom Podcast

Raising Our Gifted Children with Sara Troy and her guest Susan Landers MD, on air form June 15th

Neonatologist Susan Landers, MD, author of the new memoir So Many Babies: My Life Balancing a Busy Medical Career & Motherhood, will discuss the traumatic life and death choices many parents face when their sick or premature baby needs the NICU (Neonatal Intensive Care Unit).
In the United States nearly half a million babies are born preterm (before 37-weeks of pregnancy), have an illness, low birth weight (under 5.5 pounds), a multiple (twin/triplet), a major congenital malformation, or other critical care scenarios when admitted to the NICU (Neonatal Intensive Care Unit). Many of these children receive care and recover with the help of neonatologists and other specialists, and eventually leave the unit as healthy, thriving babies. However, for other babies who are extremely premature or those with an inoperable birth defect, there are traumatic and stressful times for parents – especially the moms – who are confronted with life and death choices for their babies.

In So Many Babies, Neonatologist Susan Landers, MD, shares the stories of the close relationships that NICU staff and parents develop during some of the most distressing times of their sick child(ren)’s lives. In addition, Dr. Landers’ memoir describes how the practice of neonatology shaped and influenced her life experience (So Many Babies: My Life Balancing A Busy Medical Career & Motherhood; publication date: May 4, 2021.

As a neonatologist for over thirty-five years and a mother to three of her own children, Dr. Landers describes how the full-time practice of neonatology influenced her experience as a mother. As a neonatologist, she survived and thrived during a lengthy NICU practice, and she relates her experiences of finding resilience and endurance, managing to postpone burnout until late in her career. The book describes many technological changes that she witnessed over decades in neonatal medicine and high-risk obstetrics, such as infertility treatments and multiple births. Also, her experience in the NICU is illustrated by many poignant life-and-death scenarios, including stories about complex, critically ill patients, and their worried parents, each one touching her life.
