245. Dr. Bruce Greyson: Near-Death Experiences & Life After Death with MD & Leading Researcher of NDE’s

Otherworldly themes of the afterlife and spirit guides are common ground for TBB. However, this episode is unique because it grounds a very spiritual, somewhat “woo-woo” topic through a scientific lens. Dr. Bruce Greyson is one of the leading experts on near-death experiences (NDEs), a professor of Psychiatry and Neurobehavioral Sciences at The University of Virginia, and the author of After, an exploration of the nature of life, death, and the continuity of consciousness. 

Like many, Dr. Bruce Greyson was a complete skeptic of anything outside the 3D realm when he graduated from medical school. So much so that he brushed aside his first encounter with a patient who had an NDE five years after the incident. 

Since that life-altering moment, he has spent more than 45 years researching near-death experiences, exploring the “why,” “how,” and meaning behind these transformational moments that refuse to be rationalized or boxed into our current understanding of human existence, life, and death. 

This episode decodes some of Dr. Greyson’s most memorable research, detailing the wildest parallels between people’s experiences, the concept of unity consciousness, and why the idea of “do unto others as you would have done unto you” is an undeniable truth – much like gravity or love. He also gives a behind-the-scenes look at some of the latest research connecting plant-medicine experience with NDEs, the lingering after-effects of an NDE, and how someone can integrate an out-of-body experience into “normal life.”

Our Shows
Over 50 & Flourishing
Welcome to Over 50 & Flourishing, the show for any woman who feels like she lost her compass in the sea of midlife. I’m here to tell you it’s never too late to change your course and awaken the healthy, wise, and wonderful woman within. My name is Dominique Sachse, and I love to ask questions, which was why I spent nearly three decades of my life in the TV news business. I also started a YouTube channel in 2014 to connect intimately with my community, and I took an even deeper dive in my book Life Makeover - Embrace The Bold, Beautiful and Blessed You. I’ll be the first to say, I’ve made mistakes, and I’m not afraid to be vulnerable and learn from them. I mean let’s face it, this stage of life can be complicated. Children are moving out, relationships are being examined, our parents are aging, and we’re having to manage all of this along with our menopause! It’s easy to lose sight of ourselves, but can I just say.. we matter. So, whether it’s finding ways to enhance and celebrate our own beauty, taking bold steps toward living our best life in the second half of life, finding ways to be healthier, happier, and more spiritually connected, I will bring you thinkers and innovators who share the same passion of flushing out these ideas. It’s my goal to leave us all feeling inspired, thought and intent-driven, and with a sense of purpose in whatever we pursue. Let’s celebrate growing older together and embrace our Prime. It’s our time!
