* Note: This Episode was filmed over two years ago in mid 2023.
In the lead up to my own surgery I speak with Stanford and Harvard trained, board-certified anesthesiologist and integrative medicine specialist Anthony Kaveh. In addition to his medical work Anthony runs his own YouTube channel where he educates listeners about anesthetics and the therapeutic use of psychedelics.
We discuss how anesthetics and psychedelics work on the brain, and what anesthesia can teach us about intelligence, perception, and mental illness. We also discuss the log term risks associated with anesthetics and the impact of the opioid crisis on operating Theaters around the US.
