What if PTSD wasn’t a life sentence? In part two of my conversation with Dr. Eugene Lipov, we go deeper into what he calls PTSI—Post-Traumatic Stress Injury and the breakthrough treatment that’s changing lives around the world: the Stellate Ganglion Block, better known as the “God Shot.”

Dr. Lipov doesn’t just share the science. He brings real stories from first responders, military families, and trauma survivors who’ve found hope when nothing else worked. We talk honestly about the barriers, like insurance, stigma, and a system that still resists change, and why advocacy matters more than ever.

This episode also dives into the bigger picture and shares his opinions on treatments like ketamine and psychedelics, the importance of trauma-informed leadership, and what it will take to finally build a culture where healing is possible for everyone.

You’ll also hear about Dr. Lipov’s upcoming book, The God Shot, and how you can join the fight through his nonprofit, Erase PTSD Now.

If you care about the future of mental health, first responder wellness, or you’re just looking for proof that better days are possible, then this one’s for you.
