#8 the chief of wellness
Today, we sit down to talk to Dr. Benoit Dubé, the Chief Wellness Officer of the University of Pennsylvania. Find out what it means to be a chief wellness officer of, well.. anything, and how much of Dr. Dubé's path to psychiatry had to do with comical happenstance. Listen as the conversation shifts from wellness on college campuses to the place for the humanities and humanity in medicine.
#10 cannabis, love, and other drugs
In this DWC podcast, we hear from psychopharmacologist, psychiatrist, musician, and drug legalization advocate Dr. Julie Holland. She takes us through the whirlwind that is writing her fourth book, talks about her experience being a physician in the media, and tells us the whole truth about cannabis and other drugs.
Thanks to Shiv Nadkarni for conducting and producing this interview, our podcast leads, Shiv and Darlina, and the band Night Float and AShamaluevMusic for providing our music.
#18 brain scanning spirituality
This week, we hear from a doc who is and has been doing some really interesting research in neurotheology, a field that studies the neuroscience of religious and spiritual beliefs. This director of integrative health at Jefferson University Hospital will tell us how he came to these interests, what they mean for his life and medical practice, and what they mean for humanity. Let’s sit down with Dr. Andrew Newberg to hear what he has to say.
At Doctors Who Create, our podcasts are brought to you by Darlina Liu and Shiv Nadkarni. Music for this episode is credited to the band, Nightfloat, and YouTube's audio library. As always, please tweet us with any questions, comments, or feedback. We hope you enjoy this episode!
Correction: In my first question, I ask Dr. Newberg about what got him interested in pioneering a field like "neuroethology." This should be "neurotheology."
