(Ai assist:) Dr. J. Paul Luftman, a former primary-care and cardiac physician who survived severe burnout and a near-fatal heart attack shares how these crises became a “wakeup call” that propelled him into Eastern mindfulness, sound healing, and a broader redefinition of wellness. The conversation spans wounded-healer authenticity, the placebo effect, AI’s impact on bedside manner, sound frequencies, psychedelics, trauma-informed care, near-death research, and the need for rigorous study of “esoteric” modalities. The episode closes with Dr. Luftman unveiling his new platform, Saturation of Sound, and a call to expand evidence-based healing while prioritizing “do no harm.”
