\u201cWhat\u2019s so hard about this scientifically, and to get the scientific community fully on board with these ideas, is that we\u2019re likely going to figure out this works before we have any idea on how<\/em> it works.\u201d<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u2014 Dr. Nolan Williams<\/cite><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Welcome to a very special episode of\u00a0The Tim Ferriss Show<\/a><\/em>, an episode that might be an example of peeking around corners and catching a glimpse of the future of mental health treatments in the next five to ten years.<\/p>\n

My guest is\u00a0Nolan Williams, MD\u00a0<\/strong>(@NolanRyWilliams<\/a>). Nolan is an associate professor within the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at Stanford University School of Medicine and director of the Stanford Brain Stimulation Lab<\/strong><\/a>. He has a broad background in clinical neuroscience and is triple board certified in general neurology, general psychiatry, and behavioral neurology and neuropsychiatry. Themes of his work include examining spaced learning theory and neurostimulation techniques, development and mechanistic understanding of rapid-acting antidepressants, and identifying objective biomarkers that predict neuromodulation responses in treatment-resistant neuropsychiatric conditions.<\/p>\n

Nolan specializes in looking at cutting-edge treatments and new technologies that can be applied to treatment-resistant psychiatric disorders\u2014so, treatment-resistant depression, disorders that are notoriously difficult to address, such as OCD, and many others.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Nolan\u2019s work resulted in an FDA clearance for the world\u2019s first noninvasive, rapid-acting neuromodulation approach for treatment-resistant depression. And I\u2019ve tested this myself, and we get into this in the conversation. He has published papers in\u00a0Brain<\/em>,\u00a0American Journal of Psychiatry<\/em>, and\u00a0Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences<\/em>. Results from his studies have gained attention in\u00a0Science<\/em>\u00a0and\u00a0NEJM Journal Watch<\/em>. He has received two NARSAD Young Investigator Awards, the Gerald L. Klerman Award, and the National Institute of Mental Health Biobehavioral Research Award for Innovative New Scientists.<\/p>\n

We also discuss things like ibogaine that are seemingly unrelated to neuromodulation, as Nolan is very well-versed in multiple disciplines and in multiple toolkits, both pharmacological and non-invasive neuromodulatory. It\u2019s this combination, actually, this rare Venn diagram, that makes him incredibly interesting to me. <\/p>\n

I really enjoyed this conversation. I think it is very important, highly tactical, and I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.<\/p>\n

P.S. \u201cMagnesium\u2013Ibogaine Therapy in Veterans with Traumatic Brain Injuries<\/strong><\/a>\u201d is now live in Nature Medicine<\/em>. <\/p>\n
