Dr. Holly Rogers: Mindfulness as Medicine
<p> Dr. Holly Rogers is a psychiatrist, long-term meditation practitioner, and founder of the Mindfulness Institute for Emerging Adults (MIA). </p><p>Dr. Rogers shares the origin story of MIA - a mindfulness curriculum she developed at Duke University after noticing that students were struggling with stress and lacked practical tools to manage it. What started as a small experiment in a campus counseling center has since grown organically to over 350 universities worldwide, with more than 70,000 students trained. The secret being 10 minutes of daily practice - the lowest effective dose she discovered after years of research.</p><p>The conversation goes deeper into how mindfulness has become woven into evidence-based psychiatry, and why Dr. Rogers believes the mind-body divide is a myth - backed by science. She unpacks the power of belief in healing, the surprising data behind placebo and nocebo effects, and how she balances prescribing medication with prescribing presence.</p>

Abdullah Antepli: An Imam's Wisdom on Wellness
<p>Abdullah Antepli shares his remarkable journey from poverty in southeastern Turkey to becoming an imam, professor, and chaplain at Duke University, and now director of the Rothko Chapel in Houston. Growing up in an environment of violence and hardship, Abdullah was one of the first in his extended family to complete elementary school. His conversion to Islam became a transformative escape from cycles of destruction, providing him with discipline, inspiration, and a framework for meaningful living. After training as an imam and spending eight years doing humanitarian work across Southeast Asia, he found his calling in non-traditional religious leadership settings, eventually serving at Duke University for over 15 years before moving to the Rothko Chapel in Houston. Abdullah emphasizes the importance of religious pluralism, explaining how his deep study of other faith traditions (including Judaism, Christianity, Buddhism, Hinduism, and even atheism) actually strengthened rather than weakened his Muslim faith. He views religion as a powerful force "in our hands" that can activate human potential for either good or evil depending on how we choose to engage with it. </p>

Dr. Don Vaughn: Rewiring Your Brain
<p>Dr. Don Vaughn is a Stanford and UCLA trained Neuroscientist and the co-founder of Ampa Health. He discusses fascinating world of neuroplasticity and groundbreaking approaches to mental health treatment. Dr. Vaughn explains how our brain continuously rewires itself based on our experiences, thoughts, and behaviors. He dives into his compelling research on why we dream as well as Ampa's revolutionary work with transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS)—a non-invasive technology that uses magnetic fields to target specific brain networks affected by depression and other mental health conditions. Dr. Vaughn shares Ampa's vision to democratize TMS treatment, making it more accessible and affordable as a potential first-line treatment rather than a last resort.</p>
