The Spiritually Curious Therapist
The Spiritually Curious Therapist is a podcast exploring the intersection of nervous system science, mental health, spirituality, and healing.
Hosted by Jodi Silverman, LCSW, this show is for therapists, healers, and curious humans who sense that true healing happens below the level of insight alone. Through thoughtful conversations and solo reflections, we explore trauma, chronic pain and illness, altered states, regulation, meaning-making, and what it really takes to help the nervous system feel safe enough to change.
This is a space for grounded mysticism, where evidence-based practice meets soul-level wisdom, and where healing is approached with curiosity, compassion, and respect for the body’s innate intelligence.
Whether you’re a clinician expanding beyond talk therapy or someone on your own healing path, this podcast invites you to listen differently — to symptoms, to stories, and to what’s asking to be integrated.

Biohacking and the Soul: Strength, Trauma, and Spiritual Bodybuilding with Nahum Vizakis
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
This is one of those conversations that stays with you.
In this episode, I sit down with Nahum Vizakis—combat veteran, bodybuilder, and healer—whose journey spans trauma, identity loss, nervous system overwhelm, and a deep dive into both physical and spiritual transformation.
We explore what it actually means to “build” yourself… not just physically, but emotionally, neurologically, and spiritually.
We talk about:
- How early trauma and lack of safety shape the nervous system
- The role of fear and how it can become a compass instead of something to avoid
- The intersection of biohacking and nervous system regulation
- Spiritual experiences, embodiment, and the importance of integration
- What “spiritual bodybuilding” really means (and what it doesn’t)
We also begin to unpack the ideas behind his book, The Biohacker’s Guide to Spiritual Bodybuilding—a framework that blends physical training, nervous system work, and inner transformation.
This conversation opens a lot of doors… and we’re not done.
We’ll be bringing Nahum back for a follow-up episode focused more deeply on the book—and we want to include your questions.
