Your Nervous System Is Still in Emergency. SGB, Ketamine, and the Future of Regenerative Medicine

May 20, 2026

Dr. John How spent more than 15 years in emergency medicine watching the same story play out. Someone comes in at their worst moment, gets stabilized, and goes home — carrying unresolved pain, trauma, and a nervous system that never got the memo that the emergency was over.


He started asking different questions. And then he started becoming the patient himself.


Back pain. PTSD. A search for something beyond what traditional medicine was offering. He found providers thinking outside the box, had results that changed his life, and built a clinic around the idea that the most powerful interventions available are often the last ones people are offered — not the first.


In this conversation with Dr. Georgine Nanos, Dr. How breaks down the treatments most doctors don't talk about, why your nervous system is running the show whether you know it or not, and what's actually happening when someone gets a stellate ganglion block and their nightmares stop the same week.
