  1. Why can’t such smart people who can create a vaccine not stop a pandemic? We are still just as vulnerable today as we were before this pandemic. We did not learn from 1918-19. We did not learn from SARS .
    Everything else is smoke and mirrors.
    Once a virus like this one gets out it will infect nearly the entire world.
    Consider:
    Btw it’s how evolution works. Viruses are like the bell form of jellyfish and mammals and plants are hydra forms.

  2. This was a really great episode. Thank you for your amazing work. It was a pleasure to learn and listen from Dr Rachel. You do great interviews Dr Zdogg 😊

  3. most people that kill themselves most of the time don't say anything about it other than their behavior to what perception in their life changed. so the one that are closest to anyone in pain harm or any negativity its up to us to change these circumstances into positive.

  4. I'm done with masks, some of this has to stop! We need to get back to some level of normal. I will only put on a Mask if someone directly asks me to put one on, regardless of where I am.
    I decided to get vaccinated a few months ago after some research and talking with a good friend that's a Nurse.

  5. I completely agree teacher need to be taught these things and wow so fascinating going my emotions a self check. And so many kids are struggling….I habe 7 year old at first virtual.was fine but then saw something that was very concerning he was lashing out upset alot and needing that interaction so thankfully set him back last 9 weeks but just that short time and still now just how the pandemic has affected him and even me u try u hardest not.let.it get to u but when thrown in ur face all day it's hard to not feel overwhelmed from it all. So awesome I love when you have her on ….I should been bed hours ago but I just couldn't help but listen what she had to say and so fascinating her perspective love it

  6. Man I would so love to pick her Brian so awesome how she thinks and such and makes since. Love it sure wish sje coumd help my cuz step son he has made reference to what she was saying and I would hate for then to become active and not stay passive. He been thru alot and feel like he has hard time letting go of things that has happened in the past. And watching her makes me think ya he definitely not ok they been trying get him help for whike now but it's been really hard to find a place that can do so. If she has any advice or someone or place she recommends???

  7. Loved it, thank you !
    I am just wondering, as you’re both into spirituality, why you’re not more mentioning the “bio-psycho-social and spiritual model” … more and more researchers think the biopsychosocial model should be expanded to include the spiritual dimension as well. And i am even wondering if the WHO already inserted it into its concept of health …
    Looking forward for your next video 🙂

  8. That story about mobilizing kids to help other kids is such a powerful thought. Teaching compassion and empathy from an early age is so vital to healthy communities.

  9. With the school shooters we must start looking at the medications they are on, bet money they were on a Benzodiazepines or SSRI. In all but two cases involving a school shooter they all had either or in the system and we know that these drugs long term alter a person's mental state and injures the nervous system especially SSRI's but Benzo are ten times worse and that's for people who use them regularly and as needed as prescribed, I'd hate to see what they do to someone who abuses them

  10. Please check your ableism at the door. First let me say that I am sorry Dr. Z that when you had Covid, you were treated like a social outcast, a problem…as if you were individually responsible for the whole of a communities health. That said, I have to respectfully disagree that the stigma around covid is anything new or just isolated to Covid and AIDS. If you don't know the the long history of stigmatizing people with disability and illnesses, I invite you to learn it, you can start by reading . This story is everywhere, baked into our language, you even alluded to other illnesses that have been so stigmatized, Typhoid Mary. If we look at illnesses and disabilities over the last 400 years we see that there is a huge moral component, you get blamed for having the disability and you are considered a danger to the community. A countless number of people with illnesses and disabilities have been forced into seclusion, put away, sterilized, experimented on, and more. The stigma that attached itself to Covid is as old as social distancing. If you look at the way Shakespeare uses people with disability to talk about morality (Look up discussion around the new play Teenage Dick which is an adaption of King Richard the Third, lots of good info about the .relationship between disability, morality and literature.) And perhaps the most known person who hid his disability b/c of the stigma was FDR. Please take some time to understand the history of ableism and disability oppression. And when you treat your patients, talk on podcasts please keep this in mind, it is what they face every day. Ableism makes whatever is going on in our bodies and our minds that much worse because it makes us want to hide it.

  11. Okay, y'all, there were some really good points in here, but the completely unrelated tangents and jokes made it nearly unlistenable. I listen to pretty much everything you post, but this was painful to get through.

  12. Intent and plan needs to be a public health and safety announcement. Most people don’t listen to understand. If the public knew the definition of plan and intent , we the public could save lives

  13. there's a wonderful book called Dissolving Pain that says that pain is perceived by the brain and it is possible to control and completely shift the experience of pain by how we pay attention to it. It tells you how to change your attention and there are also exercises that are helpful. Has helped me tremendously.

  14. I really like you, but we all cannot take these vaccines and you should also recognize this too. I am not an antivaccer, but I do have concerns. Covid survivor from July 2020, long covid, took 1st vaccine and it was worse than covid, and yep it also induced an autoimmune skin disorder, all documented and all reported. I am now discriminated against, have to apply for special medical exemption to not have to take shot 2. And here is the saddest part, 10 months out and my antibodies are past the upper limit, so it is working better than most get. This is medicine, a one size Never fits all!

  15. I found certain parts of the video difficult obviously, it really hits home for me, and it can be very triggering. However I really enjoyed it, I used to have migraine pain all the time, and I found out that not only was it not helping but it made things worse. I am now migraine free (for most part), I was told that some new studies showed marijuana to cause an intense type of rebound headache at the ER, and I went to test this doctors claim out without just dismissing it as old school fear mongering, and to my surprise he was actually right.

    I am now migraine free for a whole year! And a whole lot richer 😆😆😆

  16. I loved this conversation. One thing I wish Rachel could have touched on when answering the question bout how to find a therapist: is how to find a therapist that understands and can work with someone whose background/culture/ethnicity is different. As an Asian American, one of the biggest challenges I’ve faced personally is trying to find a therapist that understands my own background and culture. Like there are some things that a white therapist is just not going to understand or relate to with a second generation immigrant.

  17. My 7yo is learning about emotions in school too. He'll often say "I'm feeling jealous" or "I'm feeling worried." I try to remember to acknowledge that I'm proud of him for saying how he feels. Also the other day I was losing my sh*t at his sister and he asked me if I wanted a hug. Then while we were hugging he said "It's good to have a distraction when you're angry." 💔💕

  18. Hello dear Colleagues! Let’s preparation the following question : why is the vaccine effective only 6 months? Comparing to flu vaccine -adjusted every single year still gives us a year protection …. Any other , many decades ago produced vaccines : rabies , polio, mumps -gave life protection ! Sounds and evident , that the Covid vaccine producers have to revise the mechanism of action…. Comments please ! All the best and stay safe
