Digital Nutrition: How to Use Tech Without Letting It Control Your Mind | Jocelyn Brewer
This episode explores the growing influence of smartphones, social media algorithms, and artificial intelligence on our mental health and relationships. Psychologist Jocelyn Brewer introduces the concept of Digital Nutrition, encouraging people to become more intentional about their technology use. Dr Ron Ehrlich and Jocelyn discuss how dopamine-driven design keeps users hooked, why algorithms prioritize attention over wellbeing, and how AI tools are increasingly being used for emotional support. They also examine risks for young people, including early exposure to social media and online content, and the importance of digital literacy for both parents and children.

Resolving Trauma & Depression: The Future of Integrative Psychiatry with Dr Will Van Derveer
Mental health diagnoses remain largely subjective, often leading to symptom-based pharmaceutical management. In this episode, Dr Will Van Derveer explains how integrative psychiatry expands the lens - exploring nutrition, inflammation, gut health, trauma, mitochondrial function, relationships, circadian rhythms, and lifestyle factors. The conversation moves into psychedelic-assisted therapy - including MDMA, psilocybin, and ketamine - and how these medicines act as catalysts for deep psychological healing. Unlike conventional approaches, these therapies focus on preparation, integration, and behavioural change. Dr Van Derveer shares powerful clinical insights from PTSD and depression trials, explains why MDMA may be uniquely effective for trauma, and discusses why integration - not just medication - determines long-term outcomes. โ ๐๐๐จ๐ฎ๐ญ ๐จ๐ฎ๐ซ ๐๐ฎ๐๐ฌ๐ญ: ๐๐ฟ ๐ช๐ถ๐น๐น ๐ฉ๐ฎ๐ป ๐๐ฒ๐ฟ๐๐ฒ๐ฒ๐ฟ is an integrative psychiatrist, educator, and co-founder of the Integrative Psychiatry Institute (IPI).

He has participated in MDMA-assisted therapy clinical trials for PTSD and is a leading voice in trauma-informed, root-cause mental health care.

The Hidden Brain Injury Crisis: CTE, Misdiagnosis & Hope for Recovery with William Person
In this episode of Unstress Health, Dr Ron Ehrlich speaks with former Team USA bobsledder William Person about chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE), a condition traditionally diagnosed only after death. William shares his personal battle with debilitating symptoms that were misdiagnosed for decades - including depression, confusion, memory loss, and suicidal ideation - and reveals how hyperbaric oxygen therapy changed his life. The discussion expands beyond elite sport to include: Military veterans Domestic violence survivors Car accident victims Prison populations Misdiagnosed psychiatric patients This episode explores the uncomfortable possibility that many cases labeled as mental illness may instead be untreated brain trauma. โ ๐๐๐จ๐ฎ๐ญ ๐จ๐ฎ๐ซ ๐๐ฎ๐๐ฌ๐ญ: William Person is a former nine-year Team USA bobsled athlete who competed in World Championships, Olympic trials and World Cup events.

Dementia Is Not Inevitable: How Cognitive Decline Can Be Prevented & Reversed | Jo Grabyn
Dementia is often portrayed as an unavoidable diagnosis with no real solutions - but what if that narrative is wrong? In this powerful episode of Unstress Health, Dr Ron Ehrlich is joined by Jo Grabyn, founder of Bounce Matters and one of Australiaโs leading clinicians in the prevention and reversal of cognitive decline. Drawing on the groundbreaking work of neurologist Dr Dale Bredesen, Jo explains why dementia is not only preventable in many cases, but also treatable, even reversible. Together, they explore the science behind the Bredesen Protocol, why dementia is appearing at younger ages, and how lifestyle, toxins, sleep, nutrition, genetics, trauma, and environment all play critical roles in brain health. This episode is packed with hope, practical strategies, and empowering insights for anyone concerned about their cognitive future or that of a loved one. โ ๐๐๐จ๐ฎ๐ญ ๐จ๐ฎ๐ซ ๐๐ฎ๐๐ฌ๐ญ: Jo Grabyn is the founder of Bounce Matters and one of Australiaโs leading clinicians specialising in the prevention and reversal of cognitive decline.

Coherent Health: How Light, Water & Energy Shape Metabolic Health | Dr Damien Downing
In this powerful episode of Unstress Health, Dr Ron Ehrlich is joined by physician, researcher, and pioneer of integrative medicine ๐๐ฟ ๐๐ฎ๐บ๐ถ๐ฒ๐ป ๐๐ผ๐๐ป๐ถ๐ป๐ด to explore a radically different way of understanding health. They dive deep into ๐บ๐ฒ๐๐ฎ๐ฏ๐ผ๐น๐ถ๐ฐ ๐ต๐ฒ๐ฎ๐น๐๐ต, the role of ๐น๐ถ๐ด๐ต๐ ๐ฎ๐ป๐ฑ ๐๐ฎ๐๐ฒ๐ฟ, and why ๐ฐ๐ผ๐ต๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐ป๐ฐ๐ฒ sits at the very centre of biology. From sunlight and circadian rhythms to mitochondria, melatonin, structured water, and non-native electromagnetic fields (nnEMFs), this conversation challenges many modern public health assumptions. If we are, as Dr Downing suggests, โwalking electrons,โ then the light we absorb, the water inside our cells, and the electromagnetic environment we live in all matter far more than weโve been led to believe. This episode will change how you think about energy, inflammation, chronic disease, and what it truly means to heal. โ ๐๐๐จ๐ฎ๐ญ ๐จ๐ฎ๐ซ ๐๐ฎ๐๐ฌ๐ญ: Dr ๐๐ฎ๐บ๐ถ๐ฒ๐ป ๐๐ผ๐๐ป๐ถ๐ป๐ด is a ๐ฝ๐ต๐๐๐ถ๐ฐ๐ถ๐ฎ๐ป, ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐๐ฒ๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ฐ๐ต๐ฒ๐ฟ, ๐ฎ๐ป๐ฑ ๐น๐ผ๐ป๐ด-๐๐ถ๐บ๐ฒ ๐ฝ๐ถ๐ผ๐ป๐ฒ๐ฒ๐ฟ ๐ผ๐ณ ๐ป๐๐๐ฟ๐ถ๐๐ถ๐ผ๐ป๐ฎ๐น ๐ฎ๐ป๐ฑ ๐ถ๐ป๐๐ฒ๐ด๐ฟ๐ฎ๐๐ถ๐๐ฒ ๐บ๐ฒ๐ฑ๐ถ๐ฐ๐ถ๐ป๐ฒ He is a former President of the ๐๐ฟ๐ถ๐๐ถ๐๐ต ๐ฆ๐ผ๐ฐ๐ถ๐ฒ๐๐ ๐ณ๐ผ๐ฟ ๐๐ฐ๐ผ๐น๐ผ๐ด๐ถ๐ฐ๐ฎ๐น ๐ ๐ฒ๐ฑ๐ถ๐ฐ๐ถ๐ป๐ฒ and has dedicated his career to integrating environmental, nutritional, and allergy-related medicine into clinical practice. ๐ช๐ฒ๐ฏ๐๐ถ๐๐ฒ & ๐ฅ๐ฒ๐๐ผ๐๐ฟ๐ฐ๐ฒ๐ ๐๐ฒ๐ฎ๐๐๐ฟ๐ฒ๐ฑ ๐๐ผ๐ผ๐ธ Website: https://www.damiendowning.com British Society for Ecological Medicine: https://www.bsem.org.uk ๐๐ผ๐ต๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐ป๐ ๐๐ฒ๐ฎ๐น๐๐ต: ๐ง๐ต๐ฒ ๐ฃ๐ผ๐๐ฒ๐ฟ ๐ผ๐ณ ๐๐ถ๐ด๐ต๐ ๐ฎ๐ป๐ฑ ๐ช๐ฎ๐๐ฒ๐ฟ (Released February 12) โ๏ธ ๐๐ฑ๐ฑ๐ถ๐๐ถ๐ผ๐ป๐ฎ๐น ๐ฅ๐ฒ๐๐ผ๐๐ฟ๐ฐ๐ฒ๐ & ๐๐ผ๐ ๐๐ผ ๐๐ผ๐ป๐ป๐ฒ๐ฐ๐ Explore More Health & Wellness Solutions: โ Visit Dr. Ron Ehrlichโs Website: https://drronehrlich.com/ โ Podcast Archives, Q&As, and Expert Resources ๐ฑ ๐๐ผ๐น๐น๐ผ๐ ๐๐ฟ๏ฝก ๐ฅ๐ผ๐ป ๐๐ต๐ฟ๐น๐ถ๐ฐ๐ต ๐ Website: (drronehrlich.com) ๐ Facebook: (facebook.com/Doctor.Ron.Ehrlich) ๐ธ Instagram: (@drronehrlich) ๐ฆ Twitter: (/doctor.ron.ehrlich) ๐ถ LinkedIn: (/dr-ron-ehrlich/) โถ๏ธ YouTube: (@doctorronehrlich) ๐ฅ TikTok: (@drronehrlich) ๐ง Spotify: (https://shorturl.at/JqK9h) ๐ฝ Omny: (https://omny.fm/shows/unstress-with-dr-ron-ehrlich) ๐ ๐๐ฒ๐ฎ๐๐๐ฟ๐ฒ๐ฑ ๐๐ผ๐ผ๐ธ: ๐ ๐๐ช๐ง๐ฆ ๐๐ฆ๐ด๐ด ๐๐ต๐ณ๐ฆ๐ด๐ด๐ฆ๐ฅ โ Australia (https://amzn.to/3Ug4iCK) โ US (https://amzn.to/3Nlx3vR) โ UK (https://amzn.to/3WgPUMx) ๐ ๐๐ผ๐ถ๐ป ๐๐ต๐ฒ ๐จ๐ป๐๐๐ฟ๐ฒ๐๐ ๐๐ฒ๐ฎ๐น๐๐ต ๐ ๐ฒ๐บ๐ฏ๐ฒ๐ฟ๐๐ต๐ถ๐ฝ โ Join Here (https://bit.ly/3epjFcO) โ More Info (https://bit.ly/3RIubcN) ๐ง ๐๐ฎ๐๐ฐ๐ต ๐๐น๐น ๐๐ฝ๐ถ๐๐ผ๐ฑ๐ฒ๐: โ Apple Podcasts: (https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/unstress-with-dr-ron-ehrlich/id13337959190) โ All Episodes: ( https://drronehrlich.com/podcasts/) ๐ Join the ๐๐ฏ๐ด๐ต๐ณ๐ฆ๐ด๐ด ๐๐ฆ๐ข๐ญ๐ต๐ฉ community and transform stress into strength.

A raw, compassionate, and hopeful discussion about resilience, responsibility, and the possibility of genuine change. ๐๐๐จ๐ฎ๐ญ ๐จ๐ฎ๐ซ ๐๐ฎ๐๐ฌ๐ญ: ๐๐ผ๐ป๐ฎ๐๐ต๐ฎ๐ป ๐ฆ๐ฐ๐ต๐๐ฎ๐ฟ๐๐ is an Associate Marriage and Family Therapist (AMFT), soon to be a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT), based in California.

Soberness, Recovery & the Power of Choice | Cat Greenleaf
In this powerful and deeply honest conversation, Dr Ron Ehrlich sits down with media personality and recovery advocate ๐๐ฎ๐ ๐๐ฟ๐ฒ๐ฒ๐ป๐น๐ฒ๐ฎ๐ณ to explore addiction in all its modern forms - from alcohol and drugs to phones, attention, fame, and technology.
