The God Shot Format: Hardback

What if everything you thought you knew about trauma was wrong?

When advanced brain scans revealed trauma’s visible scars on the brain, Dr. Eugene Lipov saw an opportunity: If trauma could be seen, it could be treated. Enter The God Shot—a revolutionary procedure that resets the body’s stuck fight-or-flight response with a simple nerve block. The result? Instant calm. Lasting transformation. Real healing.

This isn’t fringe science—it’s verified neuroscience, and it’s igniting a global revolution. From Navy SEALs and first responders to survivors of abuse, burnout, and invisible wounds, thousands have stepped back from the edge with one undeniable truth: trauma is an injury—and injuries can heal.

In The God Shot, Dr. Lipov pulls back the curtain on one of the most misunderstood conditions of our time. He demolishes the outdated myths that keep people confined to their pain and delivers a bold, biology-based blueprint for healing that goes beyond coping and into full recovery.

Whether you’ve lived through trauma, love someone who has, or simply want to understand the future of mental health—this book will change how you see the brain, the body, and what it truly means to heal.

The era of managing trauma is over. The age of hope and healing has begun.

Dr. Eugene Lipov is a pioneering trauma expert and board-certified anesthesiologist who revolutionized post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) treatment by repurposing the Stellate Ganglion Block (SGB), originally used for pain relief, to reset the body’s fight-or-flight response. Inspired by personal loss—his father’s struggle with PTSD and his mother’s suicide—he has devoted his career to helping trauma survivors heal. In 2006, he introduced SGB for PTSD and later developed the Dual Sympathetic Reset (DSR), a two-injection protocol with even greater impact.

His research has been published in top journals like Biological Psychiatry and Military Medicine, and featured in outlets including The Wall Street Journal and Wired. As Chief Medical Officer at the Stella Center, Dr. Lipov continues to lead innovation in trauma care and advocate for wider access, including testifying before Congress to destigmatize mental health and expand treatment options.
