Michelle is Demian's physician and friend; Demian previously co-founded Nue Life. Their shared interest in accessible, whole-person care runs through the episode.\nWe begin with Michelle's upbringing and route into medicine, then explore why pain care led her beyond procedures alone. We revisit Nue Life, preparation and environment, music as the \"hidden therapist,\" and the vibrating, music-responsive bed she uses in her practice.\nIn the show-and-tell, Demian demonstrates a Betterness session interface connecting a heart-rate timeline, recognized songs, and voice notes. No ketamine was taken during this demonstration. Consumer tracking is not clinical monitoring and does not establish treatment safety. Product availability discussed reflects the recording date, September 8, 2026.\nThe conversation also covers cannabis, provider training, and questions facing psychedelic research. Personal experiences, clinical opinions, recalled figures and forecasts should not be treated as established evidence or guarantees. Treatment responses vary.\nWatch and explore the episode: Full episode, transcript and six clips. The demonstration includes a visual timeline and playlist; the video is also available at YouTube.\nChapters\n00:00 Cold open: music, pain and whole-person care\n00:46 Augmented Wellness\n01:02 Welcome and a shared mission\n02:23 Growing up: movement, nutrition and medicine\n05:28 Moving beyond pain procedures\n12:19 Nue Life and expanding access\n14:34 Ketamine: what changed in clinical practice\n18:37 Preparation, setting and integration\n19:29 Music as the hidden therapist\n20:53 Comparing psychedelic medicines\n28:31 The next wave of psychedelic care\n33:03 Why Nue Life built a music service\n36:36 Show and tell: KAT, music and voice notes\n40:51 The...","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/-Q0d-ju9EEY_NK81yX6PXoVrSFxPWumU9OwYvuk-dKI/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9jMzFj/ZmIzZmQzMTAyMTYz/ZWRmMjdhZGViNmZh/M2M2Mi5wbmc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
