TMS — The One-Day Brain Reset That’s Changing Mental Health Forever

What if you could rewire your brain for resilience, clarity, and emotional regulation — in a single day?

In this episode of the Thrive State Podcast, Dr. Kien Vuu sits down with Dr. Georgine Nanos, a family physician and North American Medical Director for Exo Mind, and Dr. Judson Brandeis, men’s health specialist and author of The 21st Century Man, to explore one of the most exciting breakthroughs in mental health: Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS).

Dr. Nanos pioneered the world’s first single-day TMS protocol — condensing what used to be a 40-day treatment into one powerful day — with a 90% response rate and 72% remission rate for depression. That’s more than double the remission rate of antidepressants.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

What TMS actually is (and why it’s nothing like electroshock therapy)
How the one-day protocol works and what to expect during treatment
Why 80% of mental health care happens in primary care — and why that’s a problem
How TMS builds brain resilience, not just symptom relief
Who is the ideal candidate (hint: high-achievers and the “functionally anxious” qualify) The cost, insurance coverage, and how to find a provider
Dr. Brandeis’ personal experience — what a skeptic felt after one session
How TMS compares to ketamine, psychedelics, and other brain-based therapies

"Life is 10% what happens to you and 90% how you respond. TMS is acting on that 90%." - Dr. Georgine Nanos

Whether you’re dealing with depression, anxiety, burnout, brain fog, or just want to perform at a higher level — this episode will change how you think about mental health.
