NOLAN WILLIAMS QUOTES: “Depression is now one of the four leading risk factors for having a heart attack.” “You can have physical things that happen in the heart from things that happen in the brain.” “I’m a very agnostic tool builder. I really don’t care what the social perception of the tool is, [...] if it’s safe for the patient, and it’s acceptable for the patient, and it’s something I would suggest to my mother, brother, or spouse, and the risk benefit is right, then we’ll look at it.” Follow Nolan Williams: Website: https://bsl.stanford.edu/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/NolanRyWilliams Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/stanford_bsl/ SPONSORS: elizabeth@advertisepurple.com ***Are You Ready for EXTRA Impact?*** If you’re ready to find true fulfillment, strengthen your focus, and ignite your true potential, the Impact Theory subscription was created just for you.

0:04.1	As such, your brain is without a doubt the most important thing in your life.

1:24.8	One of the most troubling glitches in that matrix is depression.
1:29.5	You're an intersection of something that I think is really important with transcranial
1:33.3	magnetic stimulation and psychedelics. What's happening? What causes depression? If you take somebody
1:38.6	and you stress them in the scanner and you cause them to have this what they call social defeat stress, right, where you
