Dr. Heather Volpp trained at Cedars-Sinai and UCLA, spent 15 years in traditional allergy and immunology, and kept seeing the same thing: patients who looked fine on paper but weren't getting better.

That pattern led her to found Synergy O3 in Encinitas, where she now practices integrative medicine with a focus on ozone dialysis therapy and the upstream role of inflammation in chronic disease.

In this episode, she joins Dr. Georgine Nanos to challenge the clean line between traditional and alternative medicine — and make a case for why that line was never as useful as we thought.

In this conversation:

What ozone dialysis is and why it's safer than standard 10-pass ozone therapy

The 80% reduction in inflammatory markers Dr. Volpp consistently sees post-treatment

The blood clot patient told his clot would never dissolve — and what happened four months later

Why cold plunges may be the wrong tool for perimenopausal womenHow inflammation connects cholesterol, cardiac risk, autoimmune disease, and cancer

Why curiosity is disappearing from medicine — and what's lost when it goes

Dr. Nathan Simmons has a Lego wall in his office. He still plays video games. His wife would tell you he never fully grew up — and that's exactly why teenage boys trust him with the things they won't tell anyone else.

A clinical psychologist based in Encinitas with a doctorate from Alliant University and undergrad from UCLA, Dr. Simmons has built a practice around one of the hardest populations to reach emotionally: teenage and young adult boys. The kids who answer every question with "fine." The ones who go to their rooms and close the door. The ones whose parents are terrified something is wrong but can't get two words out of them to find out.

In this conversation with Dr. Georgine Nanos, Dr. Simmons explains what's actually happening underneath that silence — and what parents can do about it.

What you'll hear in this conversation:

• Why 80% of Dr. Simmons's caseload is now anxiety — and why that number has completely flipped from depression in just a few years
• The Snapchat Maps problem: how social media doesn't just cause anxiety — it removes the one thing that used to protect kids from it
• Why teenage boys go quiet when they're struggling — and why it's not about having nothing to say
• The "held hostage" feeling: why peppering your son with questions the second he walks in the door guarantees a one-word answer
• What behavioral withdrawal actually looks like, and why it's different from a teenager just wanting space
• Why 95% of the boys who end up benefiting most from therapy were dragged there against their will — and why that's actually fine
• The critical difference between suicidal ideation, intent, and a plan — and why parents shutting down the moment they hear "I want to die" can make things worse
• What it means to tolerate not knowing — the skill this generation is missing entirely, and why it's driving the anxiety crisis
• The "logic trap" depressed teenagers fall into: "I'm 15, this is awful, and I have 65 more years of it"
• Dr. Simmons's parting message to every teenager struggling right now: your only job is to stay in it long enough to find out what you'd miss

For parents:

If you've been standing in the hallway outside your son's closed door wondering what to do next — this conversation is for you. Dr. Simmons doesn't talk at parents any more than he talks at his teenage clients. He's direct, practical, and honest about what actually moves the needle.

For teens and young adults:

The only thing consistent about life is that it changes. Dr. Simmons has been through it himself. He says it plainly: if he'd made a permanent decision at 12 based on how that year felt, he would have missed everything that mattered.

Dr. Georgine Nanos sits down with Dr. Alexandra Kharazi — cardiothoracic surgeon, author of The Heart of Fear, and one of the most refreshingly honest voices in medicine — for a conversation every woman needs to hear.

Dr. Shauna "Doc" Springer has spent over two decades embedded with the people most of us would never dare to challenge: elite military warfighters, combat veterans, and first responders. A Harvard-trained psychologist, award-winning Military Times podcast host, and three-time bestselling author, she now provides specialized consultation and confidential advising to public safety leaders through her company, Thin Line Advisory.

In this episode, Doc Springer sits down with Dr. Georgine Nanos to dismantle the deeply held beliefs about suicide prevention and warrior wellness that were built with the best of intentions — and are quietly making things worse.

What you'll hear in this conversation:

• Why suicide awareness campaigns can actually increase risk for the very people they're designed to protect
• Why suicidal people don't always know they're at risk — and what that means for how we respond
• The painful truth behind "Zero Suicide" initiatives — and why implying every suicide could have been prevented causes its own harm
• The difference between moral injury and PTSD, and why treating them the same way fails warriors
• What "cultural alignment" really means, and why dropping a single word in a session can permanently destroy trust
• The resilience myth — and why calling someone resilient might be the thing that stops them from getting help
• What genuinely safe mental health infrastructure for warriors actually looks like
• The biological treatments beyond medication and therapy that are changing outcomes
• Why a leader's silence during a crisis isn't neutral — it reads as betrayal

This is not a conversation about awareness. It's about truth, accountability, and what it really costs to protect the people who protect us.
