Medical Media Mixer is your go-to health and wellness podcast, shaken with cocktails and stirred with entertainment and media. In this episode, we sit down with psychic medium Nicole Angel to explore the fascinating intersection of psychology, parapsychology, and the paranormal. From the science of noetics to the psychology of intuition, we dive into how research, lived experiences, and pop culture shape the way we understand psychic phenomena. 📚 Interestingly, host Tara just started Dan Brown’s Secret of Secrets—a novel rooted in the world of noetic science and inspired by organizations like the Institute of Noetic Sciences (IONS). 👻 What We Cover in This Episode Nicole Angel’s journey as a psychic medium and how she “tunes in” to spirit The difference between evidential mediumship, trance mediumship, and physical mediumship Where psychology overlaps with paranormal experiences like visions, voices, and near-death experiences The psychological benefits of believing in psychic phenomena and the afterlife What parapsychology research says about ESP, telepathy, and remote viewing Ethical responsibilities when working with grieving or vulnerable clients How psychic mediums are portrayed in pop culture and media—and what Nicole would change 📖 Research Spotlight: Parapsychology Studies We also highlight three key studies in the field: Etzel Cardeña (2018, American Psychologist): Meta-analyses suggest statistically significant support for psi phenomena, though replication challenges remain. Targ & Puthoff (1974, Nature): Early claims of successful remote viewing under sensory shielding. Marks & Kammann (1978, Nature): Follow-up study challenging the above results, pointing to issues of cueing and methodological flaws. These studies frame the ongoing debate: is psi real, a psychological effect, or something else entirely? 🍸 This Week’s Cocktail – The  Psychic Potion A magical twist on a gin & tonic using butterfly pea flower–infused gin that changes color when citrus is added. ✨ Ingredients: 2 oz butterfly pea flower–infused gin 4 oz tonic water ½ oz fresh lemon juice Garnish: lavender sprig or lemon peel Directions: Fill a tall glass with ice, add the gin and tonic, then slowly pour in lemon juice to watch the drink shift from blue to pink.
