In this explosive episode, insiders Drs. Tim and May Hindmarsh, hosts of the BS Free MD’s podcast, blow the whistle on a medical system they claim is fundamentally broken. From the death of independent practices to the insidious influence of Big Pharma, these veteran family physicians pull no punches. They expose how insurance companies manipulate care, why your doctor's recommendations might be driven by profit rather than health, and how "preventative medicine" could be making you sicker. The Hindmarshes argue that the Affordable Care Act, far from fixing healthcare, has made it worse - and more expensive. They reveal why nutrition is ignored in medical schools and how standardized screenings could be harming patients. But it's not all doom and gloom - our guests offer radical solutions to fix the system, challenging listeners to take control of their own health. Whether you're a patient, a healthcare provider, or just someone who cares about the future of medicine, this episode is a wake-up call you can't afford to miss.BS Free MD Podcast RADICALLY GENUINE PODCASTDr. Roger McFillin / Radically Genuine WebsiteYouTube @RadicallyGenuineDr. Roger McFillin (@DrMcFillin) / XSubstack | Radically Genuine | Dr. Roger McFillinInstagram @radicallygenuineContact Radically GenuineConscious Clinician CollectivePLEASE SUPPORT OUR PARTNERS15% Off Pure Spectrum CBD (Code: RadicallyGenuine)10% off Lovetuner click here—-----------FREE DOWNLOAD!

Dr. McFillin analyzes the manipulation tactics employed by the pharmaceutical industry to alter our perceptions of depression and mental health. He breaks down the notorious Zoloft "blob" commercial from 2001, uncovering its powerful role in shaping public understanding of depression and how we treat it. Many of these psychological manipulation techniques are still in use today. Without awareness of these strategies, we risk falling prey to well-documented methods of mind control. The first step in this resistance isn't anger or action—it's awareness. Open your eyes. See the manipulation for what it is. Because once you can spot the strings of the puppet masters, you can begin to cut them. Your mind is your own. Guard it fiercely.Chapters00:00 Introduction: The Power of Propaganda06:48 The Infamous Zoloft Sad Blob Commercial09:16 The Medicalization of Emotions17:32 Only Your Doctor Can Diagnose Depression22:43 The Deceptive Nature of Antidepressants26:03 When You Know What Is Wrong, You Can Make It Right32:33 Reclaiming Our Collective Consciousness39:31 Conclusion: Guarding Our MindsOriginal Zoloft Commerical (2001) RADICALLY GENUINE PODCASTDr. Roger McFillin / Radically Genuine WebsiteYouTube @RadicallyGenuineDr. Roger McFillin (@DrMcFillin) / XSubstack | Radically Genuine | Dr. Roger McFillinInstagram @radicallygenuineContact Radically GenuineConscious Clinician CollectivePLEASE SUPPORT OUR PARTNERS15% Off Pure Spectrum CBD (Code: RadicallyGenuine)10% off Lovetuner click here—-----------FREE DOWNLOAD!

This episode rips the mask off America's educational farce, exposing a system designed not to enlighten, but to indoctrinate and pacify. We're churning out obedient drones, not free thinkers. From rote memorization to ideological brainwashing, our schools are assembly lines for mediocrity.

In this episode, Dr. Roger McFillin interviews Lindsay Gibson, author of the memoir 'Just Be: How My Stillborn Son Taught Me to Surrender.' Lindsay was a normal, happy teenager, but at the tender age of sixteen, she found herself terrorized by the hands of a rapist…with a mission to end her life and whose brutal force robbed her innocence. For thirteen years she was left with numbing pain and silence…until one cold November morning, sitting in her doctor’s office - her life changed forever. She was six months pregnant with her second baby, a son and the fetal monitor was silent…a silence that matched her own. This episode is a powerful first hand account of the aftermath of trauma, how the medical and mental health system respond and what ultimately lead to her recovery and transformation. Lindsay shares her intuitive abilities as a child and how they played a role in her survival.

Dr. Eric Maisel discussed the profound and often contentious issues surrounding mental health, religion, psychiatry, and the nature of human consciousness. Dr. Maisel, a prolific author and critical thinker, shares his insights on the pathologization of everyday struggles, the impact of psychiatric diagnoses, and the importance of reclaiming personal meaning and resilience. Dr. Eric Maisel is a psychotherapist, coach, teacher and author of more than 50 books that include “ Rethinking Depression: How to shed mental health labels and create personal meaning” published in 2012 , “The Future of Mental Health: Deconstructing the Mental Disorder Paradigm in 2015 and his most recent book “Redesign Your Mind” published in 2021.

Dr. Jaclynn Moskow is a trained physician scientist, writer, healthcare business consultant, and well known professional poker player. The medical industrial complex, much like a high-stakes poker game, operates on a grand scale where the players are institutions, corporations, and policy makers, but the chips are human lives and well-being. Just as a skilled poker player might exploit less experienced opponents, we're seeing a system that prioritizes profit over patient care. The 'house' - in this case, big pharma, insurance companies, and certain healthcare conglomerates - seems to hold all the cards, making rules that benefit their bottom line rather than public health. On todays episode we learn more about medical school training, how a physician is trained to think, what happens when the doctor becomes the patient, what does it mean to overcome mental health or health problems, psychedelics and what poker can teach us about life.

The FDA has approved the first pill for postpartum depression, Zuranolone (Zurzuvae) on August 4th, 2023. We discuss this and more with Katie Galvin, a former speech language pathologist turned women's functional nutrition practitioner, holistic life coach, and postpartum doula, who shares her personal experience with postpartum health challenges and the flaws in the standard allopathic medical model. She discusses the lack of informed consent and alternative treatment options provided by doctors, the importance of addressing the complexity of postpartum health holistically, and the need for proper nutrition and support during the postpartum period. We examine how the drug Zuranolone became approved, the financial conflicts of interest and the potential harms to mothers that take this drug. The conversation highlights the need for a shift in the medical approach to postpartum care and the recognition of the unique physiological changes and emotional challenges women face during this time. The conversation explores the flaws in the current medical system and the need for a more holistic approach to healthcare. It discusses the pressure on doctors to maintain authority and the consequences of this mindset. The conversation also delves into the pharmaceutical industry's influence on medical practices and the lack of informed consent. The importance of addressing the root causes of health issues and empowering individuals to take control of their own well-being is emphasized. The conversation concludes with a call to resist the current system and seek alternative approaches to healthcare.00:00 Introduction: The Approval of the First Oral Treatment for Postpartum Depression02:26 The Flaws in the Standard Allopathic Medical Model for Postpartum Health11:50 The Lack of Informed Consent and Alternative Treatment Options15:01 The Importance of Nutrition and Support in Postpartum Recovery29:01 The Need for a Shift in the Medical Approach to Postpartum Care31:37 Flaws in the Current Medical System43:17 The Pressure on Doctors and Lack of Informed Consent52:19 Addressing Root Causes and Empowering Individuals55:07 The Influence of the Pharmaceutical Industry56:30 Resisting the Current System and Seeking AlternativesNote: This podcast episode is designed solely for informational and educational purposes, without endorsing or promoting any specific medical treatments.

In this episode, Dr. Roger McFillin and Dr. Brett Deacon examine the state of the mental health field and the potential harms of certain therapeutic practices. The conversation skillfully weaves insights from the film "Good Will Hunting" to explore multifaceted themes, including the limitations of the biomedical model in addressing human experiences, the nuanced role of boundaries and self-disclosure in relationships, and the broader cultural tendency to pathologize emotional expressions. They discuss the need for ethical, evidence-based care amid the field's splintered nature and our need to reframe happiness as living a meaningful life aligned with one's values, rather than just managing thoughts and feelings.Brett Deacon, PhD serves as an Associate Professor and Program Convener for Clinical Psychology at the University of Melbourne, Australia. His academic journey includes obtaining a PhD in clinical psychology from Northern Illinois University, followed by a postdoctoral fellowship at the Mayo Clinic. Over the past 15 years, he has contributed to academia and dedicated five years to full-time private practice.Note: This podcast episode is designed solely for informational and educational purposes, without endorsing or promoting any specific medical treatments.

How We Normalized Mood & Mind Altering Drugs as Mental HealthcareHow did we come to a situation where over 20% of the population depends on at least one psychiatric drug, with this figure continuing to rise? Why are these drugs being prescribed by nonspecialists seemingly without consideration of their consequences? There has been a societal shift in how drugs are viewed and normalized as mental health care. The discussion touches on the role of advertising, industry influence, and the medical establishment in shaping this shift. Note: This podcast episode is designed solely for informational and educational purposes, without endorsing or promoting any specific medical treatments.
