🧠 Quote of the Episode

“Mental illness is a medical problem, a neurological problem in our brains, and it’s real.” – Dr. Paul Corona

Meet Our Guest: Dr. Paul Corona, MD Dr. Paul is a trailblazer in the field of mental health who pivoted from traditional family medicine to develop an innovative and deeply personalized approach to healing. Known for his “Mind-Body Healing” method, Dr. Paul treats emotional distress as a whole-body experience—addressing neurochemical imbalances, lifestyle, and trauma, rather than masking symptoms.

He's also the author of Healing the Mind and Body (Volumes 1–3) and The Corona Protocol—a groundbreaking book tackling addiction, suicide, school shootings, and more through a scientific yet human-centered lens.
