198 - A Novel Approach to Treating Trauma with Dr. Eugene Lipov

About this episode

Dr. Eugene Lipov discusses his innovative approaches to treating PTSD and the importance of redefining trauma-related conditions.

Dr. Eugene Lipov is a leading expert in treating posttraumatic stress and the pioneer of using Stellate Ganglion Block (SGB) to alleviate PTSD symptoms. Inspired by his own family’s struggles with trauma, he has dedicated his career to restoring hope for those affected. In 2006, he adapted SGB—an FDA-approved procedure since the 1970's for pain and circulation disorders—as a breakthrough PTSD treatment, later developing the Dual Sympathetic Reset (DSR) protocol for even greater relief. Beyond his clinical innovations, Dr. Lipov is a relentless advocate for redefining PTSD as post-traumatic stress injury (PTSI) to reduce stigma and shift public understanding. He has testified in 2010 before the U.S. House Committee on Veterans’ Affairs, collaborated with global military and medical communities, and published extensively in leading medical journals. His work has been featured in The Wall Street Journal, USA Today, Fox National News and NBC, underscoring his mission to make effective, science-backed trauma treatments accessible worldwide.
