Ilya Kolmanovsky on the brain, stress, and intuition
In October, an interesting meeting with Ilya Kolmanovsky took place in Manhattan. He was born into a family of psychologists, holds a PhD in biology, graduated from Moscow State University, and is a popularizer of science, now living in London. Some listeners have listened to his podcast, "The Naked Mole Rat." His lectures and podcasts are listened to by thousands of people worldwide, and now New Yorkers had the chance to hear him in person.

Coding for alcohol addiction
Over the years of working in the United States and Europe, Dr. Natalia Schmidt's name has become well known to those seeking not only medical help, but also true relief from alcohol addiction.
For many years she has been helping people return to sobriety, confidence and harmony with themselves.
Her methodology combines the traditions of classical psychiatry with modern techniques from the American school of hypnosis. The foundation of her approach is the famous coding.
Dr. Schmidt goes back to the roots: back in 1912, the eminent psychiatrist Vladimir Bekhterev described the phenomenon of emotional stress therapy, and decades later, psychiatrist Alexander Dovzhenko developed a method for overcoming alcohol addiction known as coding.
Dr. Natalia Schmidt developed these ideas, combining them with modern knowledge about the functioning of the brain and subconscious. Her unique coding system is based on identifying the root cause, the internal psychological trauma that influenced alcohol addiction. Coding is a kind of mental reset and reinforcement of a sober lifestyle.
The treatment process takes place in a calm, trusting atmosphere, and is strictly confidential. The main thing is the result. The person stops being trapped by addiction and regains control of their life.
Many remember these meetings with gratitude, calling them "the beginning of a new life."
In addition to treating alcohol addiction, Dr. Schmidt successfully assists with smoking cessation. She also helps with stress, anxiety disorders, insomnia, phobias, and loss of confidence. She uses psychiatric hypnosis and emotional adjustment techniques to help restore inner balance and self-confidence.
Appointments are available at convenient times, including evenings and weekends, making them especially convenient for those living the fast pace of a big city and traveling from other states and even countries.
If you're looking for professional help to overcome alcohol addiction, Dr. Natalia Schmidt can help. You'll be admired again, just like before you were called an alcoholic.

New York City Housing Crisis
A month ago I was in Boston and couldn’t believe my eyes: ordinary one-bedroom apartments cost 4-5 thousand dollars a month in the University Public Health area, next to the shelter and the hospital.
