  • Episode 30 | Dr. Pavel Goldstein - PERSONALIZED DANGER SIGNAL REPROCESSING (PDSR)
    Apr 1 2025

    Dr. Pavel Goldstein is a pain scientist, innovator, and advocate for healing. He leads the Integrative Pain Laboratory (iPainLab) and heads the MPH program in Biostatistics at the University of Haifa’s School of Public Health.

    His research explores how our brains and bodies process pain—and more importantly, how we can recover from it. By combining insights from neurophysiology, biochemistry, voice, and language, Dr. Goldstein’s team develops diagnostic tools powered by computational and digital technologies. He is also the co-creator of Personalized Danger Signal Reprocessing (PDSR)—a therapeutic approach for chronic pain, now being piloted across healthcare systems and tech platforms.

    In a creative turn that reflects his own near experience with chronic pain, Dr. Goldstein reimagined the Red Hot Chili Peppers’ Californication as Pain Chronification - a song that gives voice to the emotional and physiological journey of pain.

  • Episode 29 | Dr. Isabelle Amigues – CANCER & THE UNABRIDGED MD
    Mar 18 2025

    Isabelle Amigues, MD, is a rheumatologist based in Denver, Colorado. She honed her expertise by studying in Paris, as well as at Columbia University, in New York City. At age 40 she was diagnosed with stage IV metastatic breast cancer.

    A timely meeting with a non-traditionally trained practitioner taught her a different approach to disease where she experienced the power of meditation, visualization, energy healing, and love. Her journey through cancer inspired her to learn more about these alternative techniques and she now blends western medicine and eastern techniques into her practice at UnabridgedMD.com

  • Episode 27 | Dr. Kathleen Holton – FOOD AS MEDICINE FOR CHRONIC PAIN
    Feb 18 2025

    Dr. Kathleen Holton is a nutritional neuroscientist and a Provost Associate Professor at American University in Washington, DC. Her research examines the negative effects of dietary excitotoxins on neurological symptoms, as well as the positive protective effects of certain micronutrients on the brain.

    The most common dietary excitotoxin exposures in the US are from food additives. Dr. Holton’s research is exploring the beneficial effects of removing these additives, while optimizing the nutrient composition of the diet to treat neurological conditions characterized by excitotoxicity, oxidative stress, and neuroinflammation.

    Her work aims to optimize the use of food as medicine in neurological treatment.
