**Music Is Medicine: The Power of Sound to Heal, Feel & Transform — with Bill Protzmann**
Let’s get one thing straight — music isn’t just background noise.
It’s not just entertainment.
**It’s f*cking medicine.**
It can lift your mood, calm your nervous system, shake loose buried emotions, and yes — even save your life. This isn’t just poetic metaphor — it’s science-backed, soul-tested truth.
In this powerful episode of *The Evolved Caveman*, Dr. John sits down with pianist, entrepreneur, and music-for-healing expert **Bill Protzmann** to explore how music can be your go-to tool for emotional fitness, mental health, and deep self-care.
And in a *first-ever* for the podcast — Dr. John and Bill *listen to and react to* four curated musical clips in real time. You’ll hear how different tracks trigger different emotions — and why it matters.
We dive into:
– How music works on the brain like a fast-acting emotional drug
– The role of sound in managing PTSD, depression, and anxiety
– Why your Spotify playlist might be the cheapest therapist you’ll ever have
– How to use music as a daily tool for regulating emotions and rewiring patterns
– Real-time reactions to powerful musical moments (get ready to *feel* some stuff)
