Mind-Body Connection

I am delighted that my recent TEDx talk is now published on YouTube where I discuss the impact hidden emotions can have on your physical health and wellbeing.

In this episode of the Raelan Agle Podcast, Dr. Samuel Mann challenges conventional wisdom on chronic illness, revealing how hidden, repressed emotions can drive conditions like hypertension, ME/CFS, and migraines—offering a groundbreaking perspective on the mind-body connection.

Millions of patients are currently taking beta-blockers for conditions including hypertension, coronary heart disease, and arrhythmias. The most widely prescribed beta-blockers are metoprolol (Toprol, Lopressor) and carvedilol (Coreg). Here's why I don't prescribe either of those.

There is an unfortunate, common side effect that my experience suggests is affecting as many as 10-20% of patients who are taking metoprolol or similar medications to manage hypertension, coronary heart disease, or cardiac arrhythmias.

Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), though commonly affecting children, also affects over 10 million adults in the US. Adderall is one of the most widely prescribed medications prescribed to treat it. It helps some, but in many, its effect is much less than desired. Many continue to have difficulty focusing; many remain tense.
