THE DOCTOR AND THE DJ

Ever wondered how NBA stars like LeBron James maintain their mental sharpness under pressure?
Join us as we sit down with Dr. Choulet, a former NBA team’s Sport Psychiatrist and mental health expert.
This episode offers a deep dive into the mental challenges athletes face, from the intense scrutiny of professional sports to the use of innovative treatments like ketamine for managing depression and anxiety.

We explore the NBA's evolving stance on substances like marijuana and the use of FDA-approved therapies such as Spravato (esketamine). Dr. Choulet provides valuable insights into alternative treatments like Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) and Electroconvulsive Therapy (ECT) for severe depression, all within the context of sports psychiatry.

We also discuss the transformative power of sleep and healthy habits on overall performance, the mental hurdles of injury recovery, and the day-to-day responsibilities of sports mental health professionals.
