Known for his pioneering “Mind and Body Healing” method, Dr. Corona invites viewers into real patient journeys, offering hope, healing, and a fresh take on psychiatry. With the recent release of The Corona Protocol audiobook, his mission to transform mental healthcare continues to reach audiences worldwide.
Q. Tell us about The Dr. Paul Show that you are hosting.
I figured in a different way. The Dr. Paul Show is a reality show based on my practice and what I do. The majority of the show is having real patients of mine come in and tell their back stories, then when they started seeing me in the results since seeing me until the present day. I also do interviews with psychologists and other specialists.
Q. How does The Dr. Paul Show help reach people around the world?
The TV network that I work with helps me to market the show, and we already have over 7 million viewers worldwide on Roku, we are also on Amazon fire and YouTube. We have passed over 20,000 views on YouTube with over 1000 new views per week.
Q. What do you like most about doing The Dr. Paul Show?
I love hearing patient stories and experiences, which is what I do every day in my office. I love hearing them share the results that they have had under my care and people who watch the show love the fact that it is real life and that the stories are interesting and fascinating.
Q. What do you find the most challenging in doing The Dr. Paul Show?
The biggest challenge is finding the guests that are willing to come on the show and tell their stories. I only take people who have really interesting facts stories but sometimes sharing personal information in front of a camera is not easy for some people.
Q. If there’s anyone you wish to interview, who would it be?
I would love to interview Dr. Jordan Peterson, second choice would be Dr. Drew.
Q. What makes your treatment methods revolutionary in the realm of psychiatry?
What is revolutionary about The Corona Protocol is that I learned treatment of mental health conditions in a different way than psychiatrists do. I figured out early on about 33 years ago that they were not doing it in the best way. After reading psychiatric textbooks I realize that I was learning ways of doing things that I was not reading about. I work very quickly with medications by dosing aggressively and augmenting with other medications when needed, which leads to me getting most patients clearly better within 1 to 3 visits, no more than one to two months. Also the results I get are better and more complete than other doctors achieve, which is what led me to starting writing my first book.
Q. How can we address the mental health that are stigmatized among men?
It is more difficult to treat men because they may equate treatment with weakness. I am very good at communicating with men what is really going on by drawing diagrams about what medications actually do and I’m very good at convincing man as well as women why I believe that the treatment that I advised will work. I have gotten very good at convincing them.
Q. How does a family medicine background bring a unique perspective?
The reason that I have done what I have been able to accomplish, writing six books within 23 years, is because of my unique background and experiences. Family doctors focus on the body but not so much on the mind/brain, while psychiatrist focus on the brain but not so much on the body which they don’t really understand. I put two and two together leading to what I call Mjnd-Body Medicine, focusing on the emotional problems as well as physical problems which often tie together to stress affects the body in physical ways and vice versa.
Q. What is the one message you wish to send to everyone watching The Dr. Paul Show?
The message of hope. So many people are struggling and suffering unnecessarily. The solution is available for everyone who needs it. I am doing my part the more doctors need to learn my methods. This is why I’m finishing two books this year which are going to be training manuals for doctors to teach my methods. The participants on my TV show are very good examples of people who were suffering greatly before seeing me and now are doing great, truly happy and at peace. Never lose hope.
