Dr. Eric Zhou, PhD, a specialist in sleep disorders, joins TheNPRD Podcast for the first episode of season 5. His expertise and care of so many patients utilizing CBTi (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia) has been incredibly beneficial to their mental health and overall well being. Join us as we discuss how and why CBTi can and does work and why for women in mid-life this is such a crucial piece to their wellbeing. Learning to ask our patients and ourselves ‘Are You Happy With Your Sleep?’ can be the first question into a thoughtful history, plan of care and overall better quality of life.

In this culminating episode of our three-part series with Stella Mental Health, we bring together Dr. Eugene Lipov and Dr. Brian Boyle for an in-depth exploration of interventional psychiatry. Both practitioners share a fundamental understanding that mental health treatment requires individualized approaches—there is no one-size-fits-all solution for addressing depression, post-traumatic stress injury, obsessive-compulsive disorder, and anxiety.

This episode takes a comprehensive look at specialized care and what a trajectory may look like for individuals navigating the intersection of perimenopause, menopause, eating disorders, disordered eating, and body image challenges. Dr. Boyle and Dr. Lipov demonstrate how targeted interventions can move beyond traditional treatment boundaries to deliver exceptional outcomes for their patients.

In part 2 of our 3-part series with Stella Mental Health, we sit down with Dr. Eugene Lipov, Chief Medical Officer and co-founder of the Stella Centers, to discuss his pioneering work on the Dual Sympathetic Reset (DSR) procedure. Dr. Lipov explains how this minimally invasive treatment, involving small anesthetic injections near the stellate ganglion, has evolved from a pain management technique to a revolutionary non-hormonal option for treating vasomotor symptoms of perimenopause and menopause, as well as PTSI (Post Traumatic Stress Injury) and other psychiatric conditions. Join us as we explore the exciting potential of DSR technology and its expanding applications in mental health treatment, including promising developments in pediatric care.

Transcranial magnetic stimulation is one of the few neuroanatomically focused treatments targeting treatment-resistant depression and OCD, with evolving data for addictive disorders and anxiety disorders.
