Dr. Antonello Bonci is a world-renowned neurologist and neuroscientist helping reshape how we treat addiction, depression, anxiety, and more—without relying solely on medication. In this episode, Dr. Bonci joins co-hosts Derek Bylsma and Oren Matteson to break down the science and promise of Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS), a non-invasive brain technology now used across the globe.

From clinical breakthroughs with cocaine addiction to treating treatment-resistant depression, Dr. Bonci shares how TMS activates key areas of the brain, reduces inflammation, and supports long-term mental health. He also opens up about the importance of combining TMS with therapy, what makes some clinics far more effective than others, and what patients should know before starting.

Whether you’re a clinician, a patient, or someone curious about alternatives to medication, this conversation will challenge how you think about brain health and healing.
