Debunking Evidence-Based Medicine: Industry Influence

This week, we revisited medical science, which I believe should be at the top of our agenda because it affects each and every one of our lives in ways that we could never have anticipated earlier.

Join me in this episode as I read an article: The Illusion of Evidence-Based Medicine and as well as share my thoughts on it.

Prof David Healy: Pharmageddon – Evidence Based Medicine or Marketing?

Today, we are going to be continuing with the theme can we “trust the science?”.

It is a wonderful privilege to be able to interview one of these professionals who, for many of you, will require no further introduction. My guest today is Prof David Healy. I have known him because of the wonderful book he has written, Pharmageddon. Prof David Healy is a psychiatrist, scientist, psychopharmacologist, and author. David’s main areas of research are clinical trials in psychopharmacology, the history of psychopharmacology, and the impact of both trials and psychotropic drugs on our culture.

Tune in as we explore numerous topics that we should all be aware of, and it speaks of not just how medicine is practised, how chronic disease is approached, but also how this pandemic is confronted.

HEALTHY BITE | Education, Evolution & Ignorance

My interview with Dr Traill Dowie took much longer than normal since we lost track of time chatting face to face and became absorbed in so many fascinating discussions covering a wide range of issues. I also had the opportunity to recognise how well this episode fits in with the other episodes I’ve done for the past months and years.

This Healthy Bite allows me to reflect and share my thoughts on the things we discussed, as well as the high points of our conversation, and so much more.

Dr Traill Dowie: Philosophy, Trauma, Psychedelic Therapy and More

Today’s episode is a little different because I had the pleasure of catching up with my guest in my own home studio and we did the interview face to face, which reminded me of what I believe we’ve all learned as a result of this pandemic. And that is, while we have access to online communication, nothing beats talking and looking at people’s faces and examining body language and facial expressions and experiencing that connection with someone, which I had the pleasure of doing today.

My guest is Dr Traill Dowie who is the Chair of the Australian Counselling Association (ACA) Panel for Trauma Standards & Practice, he is also the Head of Faculty at Ikon Institute Australia, and is a practising psychotherapist, supervisor and public speaker.

He holds dual PhDs, receiving a PhD in Psychiatry from Monash University and a PhD in Philosophy from The University of Melbourne. He is also co-director of the Mind Medicine Institute, and I recently had the pleasure of talking to his co-director, integrative psychologist, Nigel Denning. So these two episodes really do dovetail with each other really well.
