Radically Genuine Podcast with Dr. Roger McFillin

In 1976, Merck's CEO told Fortune magazine his dream was to make drugs for healthy people and sell them to everyone. Fifty years later, that dream is the air we breathe.
In this solo episode, Dr. Roger McFillin traces how a generation was taught that being human is a disease. He walks through the 1994 inflection point, the Zoloft commercial that rewrote a culture, the academics and journals and sales reps who built the influence machine, and the school-to-pediatrician-to-customer-for-life pipeline that captured childhood itself.
He reflects on the recent HHS mental health summit, what it gets right, and what the bureaucrats are still unwilling to say out loud. He names what was lost in the trade. The wisdom passed down through generations. The understanding that emotions are a guidance system, not a malfunction.
The mental health industrial complex is not a healthcare system. It's a control system. The drugs are weapons. The diagnoses are chains.
This is how you walk out of the cage.

Andrew Feldmar has been guiding people through psychedelic journeys for over 50 years. He trained directly with R.D. Laing in London, worked with Stanislav Grof at Esalen, practiced at Hollywood Hospital when LSD was still legal medicine, and took part in the first MAPS Canada MDMA research for PTSD. A Hungarian-born psychotherapist who fled the 1956 revolution alone at 16, he has spent a lifetime refusing to pathologize normal human suffering. With the President signing an executive order to fast track psychedelics through the FDA, this conversation could not be more timely. Andrew explains why medicalizing these medicines is a grotesque category mistake, what gets lost when ceremony and relationship are replaced by sterile hospital protocols, and why the source only opens up between people. His new book, Radical Adventure: An Inquiry into Psychedelic Psychotherapy (Karnac Books, 2025), is a quiet act of resistance against the venture capital takeover of sacred work. If we're going to talk about psychedelics in 2026, we need to talk to someone who knew what they were before the industry came for them.

Some lies leave scars you can see. Jennifer Miller, a licensed professional counselor with fifteen years of clinical experience, now sits with the detransitioners. The young women coming out the other side of a cultural lie, carrying its permanent mark on their bodies and asking the questions no one prepared them for. What pulled them in? What woke them up? What does the wreckage actually look like once the affirmation stops? And how did an entire culture, an entire profession, march millions of children down this road while calling it care? Jennifer has been watching this story unfold for fifty years, first inside her own family, now inside her therapy office. She left the mental health system in 2020 and has been telling the truth ever since. This episode is about more than gender. It is about how minds get captured, how good people participate in harm, and what human vulnerability looks like when the institutions sworn to protect us become the ones doing the cutting. Listen now.

A re-released episode with points that still stand. As America responded with a mandate for Donald Trump, Dr. McFillin issues a powerful call to action: Making America Healthy Again demands more than policy change—it requires reclaiming our fundamental emotional sovereignty. In this compelling episode, he exposes how the modern mental health system has conditioned us to fear natural emotional responses, creating cycles of dependency and spiritual disconnection.
Dr. McFillin argues that depression and anxiety aren't disorders but transformative spiritual forces that have been pathologized through decades of pharmaceutical marketing. Drawing from ancient wisdom, he reveals how suppressing these emotional states serves a broader system of control, disconnecting people from their inner guidance and spiritual power. The COVID crisis, he suggests, demonstrated how medical authorities can shape public behavior through fear.
The path forward requires revolutionizing our approach to emotional wellness. Instead of medicating away our pain, we must recognize these experiences as catalysts for personal and societal transformation. Dr. McFillin outlines how emotional resilience—not emotional suppression—builds the strong, discerning citizens needed to preserve American values and freedoms. This episode provides a roadmap for breaking free from the "mental health matrix" and restoring our natural capacity for growth through emotional awareness.

In 1976, scientists discovered something so significant they gave it a name that said everything. That name was scrubbed from the literature eight years later. Dr. William Supple is a neuroscientist. He didn't set out to become one of the most controversial voices in cancer research. He was trying to save someone he loved. What he found in the process — buried in peer-reviewed journals, hidden in WHO population data, and documented across hundreds of real human cases — will permanently change the way you think about cancer, what it is, who profits from it, and what has been available all along. Cancer Is a Parasite by Dr. William Supple is available on Amazon. Dr. Supple's research is at fenbendazole.substack.com.
