Niko Stratis knew a couple of things growing up in the Yukon in Canada: that she was, in truth, a woman, despite being regarded by the world as male, and that being trans or different in any way was absolutely not okay. It wasn't just a matter of identity, it was a matter of safety too, as she worked with guys who vowed that if their child was gay or trans, they would kill that child. Niko discovered some other things, too: the trade of industrial glassworking, the numbing effects of the alcohol she became addicted to, and the redemptive power of music. Niko Stratis's book, The Dad Rock That Made Me a Woman, is a memoir and a playlist, tracing the inspiration of songs loosely tagged as dad rock as Niko battles setbacks and depression and suicidality, lives all over Canada, and finally makes the big, nothing-to-lose move of coming out as a trans. She tells her story and what was behind choosing a name that feels wonderful to say loud and openly.Thank you to all our listeners who support the show as monthly members of Maximum Fun.Check out our I'm Glad You're Here and Depresh Mode merchandise at the brand new merch website MaxFunStore.com!Hey, remember, you're part of Depresh Mode and we want to hear what you want to hear about.

Last week marked World Cancer Day, and in this episode, Molly revisits an important—and often misunderstood—topic: the relationship between alcohol and cancer.This is not a new conversation, and it's not a reaction to headlines. Instead, it's part of an ongoing commitment to helping you understand the science well enough to make informed, intentional choices about alcohol—without fear, shame, or all-or-nothing thinking.One reason this topic continues to matter is a striking gap in awareness: while nearly 90% of adults recognize smoking as a cancer risk, fewer than half realize that alcohol is also classified as a carcinogen Project 1 (50). That lack of awareness makes informed choice difficult—and that's what this episode aims to address.In this episode, you'll learn:Why alcohol is classified as a Group 1 carcinogen, and what that designation actually meansThe seven types of cancer that are clearly linked to alcohol use, including breast cancerHow alcohol increases cancer risk at a biological level (acetaldehyde, inflammation, hormones, and nutrient disruption)Why alcohol research in humans is mostly observational, and what that means for how we interpret the dataThe critical difference between relative risk and absolute risk—and why this distinction mattersWhat experts mean when they say there is “no safe level” of alcohol for cancer riskHow to think about cancer risk through an Alcohol Minimalist, harm-reduction lensKey takeaways:Alcohol does increase cancer risk, but risk is dose-dependent and cumulative, not absolute or immediateRelative risk headlines often sound scarier than the actual, absolute numbersYou do not need perfection—or abstinence—to meaningfully reduce riskReducing frequency, quantity, and duration of drinking patterns mattersAlcohol Minimalism is about reducing unnecessary exposure, not eliminating all riskThis episode is about clarity, not commands. Science isn't here to scare you—it's here to inform you.If you've ever felt overwhelmed by alcohol and health messaging, this episode offers a calmer, more grounded way to understand the risks and decide what feels right for you.As always, choose peace.Resources mentioned:TIME Magazine article on alcohol and cancer riskCDC information on alcohol-related cancersAlcohol Minimalist framework for informed, harm-reduction decision makingIf this episode was helpful, consider sharing it with someone who would appreciate a thoughtful, non-alarmist conversation about alcohol and health.Low risk drinking guidelines from the NIAAA:Healthy men under 65:No more than 4 drinks in one day and no more than 14 drinks per week.Healthy women (all ages) and healthy men 65 and older:No more than 3 drinks in one day and no more than 7 drinks per week.One drink is defined as 12 ounces of beer, 5 ounces of wine, or 1.5 ounces of 80-proof liquor. So remember that a mixed drink or full glass of wine are probably more than one drink.Abstinence from alcoholAbstinence from alcohol is the best choice for people who take medication(s) that interact with alcohol, have health conditions that could be exacerbated by alcohol (e.g. liver disease), are pregnant or may become pregnant or have had a problem with alcohol or another substance in the past.Benefits of “low-risk” drinkingFollowing these guidelines reduces the risk of health problems such as cancer, liver disease, reduced immunity, ulcers, sleep problems, complications of existing conditions, and more. It also reduces the risk of depression, social problems, and difficulties at school or work. ★ Support this podcast ★

Send us a textThe brain's mysterious claustrum region, its role in cognitive flexibility, and how substances like alcohol and psychedelics affect neural circuits and behavior. Not medical advice.TOPICS DISCUSSED:Cerebral cortex structure: Described as a six-layered structure with pyramidal neurons and inhibitory interneurons; information flows between layers and regions to process sensory input and enable complex behaviors.Claustrum anatomy & connectivity: A sheet-like subcortical structure embedded in white matter, bidirectionally connected to cortical areas, especially prefrontal regions in rodents, with broader connections in primates and humans suggesting an integrative role.Claustrum function in cognition: Experiments show claustrum activation during task switches from easy to demanding modes, synchronizing cortical networks via inhibition and rebound excitation, potentially enabling flexible behavior.Mouse models in neuroscience: Mice are used for genetic tractability to manipulate and monitor specific circuits, revealing claustrum's role in vigilance tasks but not simple ones.Alcohol's effects on brain circuits: Chronic alcohol promotes inflexible behaviors by altering striatal interneurons and inhibitory inputs, leading to compulsive drinking despite aversive consequences.Psychedelics & brain networks: Psilocybin disrupts default mode and other networks, inhibits claustrum via serotonin 1B receptors, with effects persisting 24 hours, possibly contributing to therapeutic benefits.Evolution of claustrum: Connectivity expands from rodents to humans, shifting from cognitive-specific to broader network control, including anti-correlated states like default mode versus task-engaged.Integration of claustrum & basal ganglia: Claustrum funnels prefrontal signals to basal ganglia for action selection; alcohol may impair this, exacerbating inflexibility in addiction.ABOUT THE GUEST: Brian, PhD is a professor in the Department of Pharmacology and Physiology at the University of Maryland School of Medicine, where he leads a neuroscience lab studying brain circuits underlying flexible and inflexible behaviors using mouse models, with a focus on alcohol use disorder.Support the showHealth Products by M&M Partners: SporesMD: Premium mushrooms products (gourmet mushrooms, nootropics, research).

In this powerful and deeply honest conversation, Ricki Friedman joins Jason Ingber on the Jason Ingber Podcast, alongside Doreen Benjamin, to share her raw journey through grief, addiction, healing, and self-discovery. Ricki opens up about losing her mother to cancer at just 13 years old and how being prescribed Adderall at a young age shaped her emotional world. She reflects on decades of disconnection, heavy weed use, stimulant dependency, and how addiction became a way to escape unprocessed pain. She shares what it was really like to quit weed cold turkey after 15 years, why getting off Adderall and Vyvanse after nearly 30 years was the hardest challenge of her life, and how losing her relationship, job, and sense of stability ultimately became the turning point that set her free. Ricki also dives into her transformative Ayahuasca experience in Costa Rica, explaining how the medicine forced her to confront herself, heal long-held trauma, and step fully into her purpose. That journey reignited her passion for coaching and led her back to helping thousands of people break free from addiction, emotional patterns, and self-sabotage. This episode is for anyone navigating: • Adderall or stimulant dependence • Weed addiction • Grief and unresolved childhood trauma • Breakups and identity loss • Personal growth and healing If you're searching for hope, clarity, or proof that real change is possible, this conversation will meet you exactly where you are.

In today's conversation, we connect with Dr. Adi Jaffe, a #1 best-selling author and nationally recognized expert on transformation and communication – especially in times of deep crisis. As the author of groundbreaking works like The Abstinence Myth and Unhooked: Free Yourself from Addiction Forever, Dr. Jaffe's mission is both simple and radical: to help people overcome addiction and life challenges without shame, judgment, or rigid rules… Dr. Jaffe's work spans mental health, addiction, relationships, and professional identity, supporting individuals navigating personal, career, and emotional crises. He spent nearly a decade as a lecturer in UCLA's Psychology Department and served as Executive Director and Co-Founder of one of the country's most progressive mental health treatment centers before founding IGNTD. Through IGNTD, Dr. Jaffe is reshaping how we understand and address mental health by helping people move beyond shame, reconnect with purpose and joy, and build lives rooted in fulfillment — for themselves and those around them. This discussion outlines: How anxiety and mental health challenges have evolved in recent years. The psychological impact of technology on modern life. How to navigate conflict in healthier, more constructive ways, and how substances can interfere with that process. The importance of reframing the conventional ideals of addiction.

In this February 6 episode of MAHA News, Jordan Sather and Nate Prince cover a wide range of health, food, and policy developments shaping the MAHA agenda. The show opens with a discussion on how diet and nutrition affect mental health, including examples of symptom reversal through real food and protein-focused eating. The hosts then break down Florida House Bill 433, a proposed expansion of food libel laws that could allow agricultural producers to sue critics for product disparagement, raising major First Amendment concerns. In contrast, they highlight positive movement in Utah, where lawmakers advanced legislation to legalize raw milk sales without a permit. The episode also covers the launch of TrumpRx, a new direct-to-consumer platform aimed at lowering prescription drug prices, with a live walkthrough of how pricing comparisons and pharmacy coupons work. Later segments focus on RFK Jr.'s comments on addiction as a disease of isolation, declining overdose death rates, and how economic incentives within healthcare, insurance, and rehab systems may discourage true recovery. The show closes with additional updates on fluoride regulation, EcoHealth Alliance funding bans, and toxic ingredients found in baby formula.

How I Overcame My Addictions

(Repeat episode) - SEASON 11 Coming SoonMy website My Instagram

Living with someone who struggles with addiction can quietly pull you into a nonstop state of exhaustion. You may find yourself overthinking every decision, overperforming to keep the peace, fixing problems that aren't yours to fix, and absorbing emotional fallout that was never meant to be yours. In this episode, we talk about how to move out of that draining cycle and into assurance—the kind of confidence that comes from knowing what's yours to carry, what isn't, and why doing less for the person with addiction can actually bring more peace to your own life. You'll learn: Why family members so often blame themselves for addiction How overfunctioning increases anxiety and resentment What you may be doing that's keeping you stuck and frustrated How shifting your role can bring clarity, calm, and emotional relief This conversation is about helping you feel steadier, clearer, and more grounded—regardless of what your loved one chooses to do next.

If a sports betting app has the data to know exactly when a user is struggling financially, should it have a legal duty to cut that person off?On this episode of Capitalisn't, we dive into the murky waters of the American sports betting explosion. We are often told that legalization simply moves an existing black market into the light, but guest Jonathan Cohen argues that the issue isn't that we legalized the industry—it's that we did it "recklessly."Cohen, the Policy Lead at the American Institute for Boys and Men and author of Losing Big: America's Reckless Bet on Sports Gambling, joins Bethany and Luigi to outline the serious costs of this rapid liberalization. His data shows that legalized online sports betting is associated with a 25% to 30% increase in personal bankruptcies, a notable rise in auto loan defaults and credit card delinquencies, and increased cases of childhood neglect.Is there a way to fix this market so that it is fair for consumers without imposing such a high degree of societal cost? Host Luigi Zingales suggests a broader solution: a "fiduciary duty" for data collectors. When you give sensitive information to a doctor, accountant, or lawyer, they are bound to use that data only in your interest. If a betting app sees a user's credit card deposits being declined or identifies a pattern of "loss chasing," should they be legally required to act in your interest instead of targeting you with VIP offers?

There's a point in many recovery journeys where insight stops being the problem. You know what to do. You understand your patterns. And yet… change still feels hard. In this episode, I talk with Paula Robbins, author of Hitchhiking Into Recovery, who has over 37 years of sobriety, about why that happens—and what actually sustains healing over the long haul.     The Ride That Opened the Door Paula's recovery didn't begin with a dramatic intervention. It began when she was picked up hitchhiking in 1988 by someone living a sober, connected life. That single interaction mattered because it interrupted isolation. Not with willpower. With connection.     Addiction Is a Disconnection Problem Paula grew up with trauma, neglect, and instability. Alcohol became a way to shut down overwhelming emotions long before she had language for what was happening. By age 12, she was drinking to blackout. What stands out isn't just the trauma—it's what was missing: Safety Emotional guidance Consistent connection Addiction wasn't a moral failure. It was a survival strategy.     Feelings Aren't Facts One of Paula's most grounding principles is simple: Feelings and facts are not the same. Recovery didn't eliminate difficult emotions—it created space to respond instead of react. That pause is where real change happens.     The Four Pillars That Sustain Recovery After decades of sobriety, Paula distilled what actually works into four stabilizing forces: Community – healing happens in relationship Mentorship – someone to help you see clearly Service – contribution rebuilds self-esteem Daily spiritual alignment – prayer, meditation, or quiet time These pillars show up in every effective recovery model because they address the root issue: disconnection.     Divine Alignment vs. Self-Will Paula explains divine alignment not as certainty, but as a felt sense. When she's controlling outcomes, she feels restless and tight. When she surrenders—even briefly—things soften. Sometimes all it takes is the simple phrase: "Thy will be done."     A Gentle Reminder If change feels hard, it doesn't mean you're failing. It may simply mean effort isn't the missing piece—connection is.     One Small Action Try just one: Strengthen one pillar that feels weak Take a 5-minute daily pause Offer one small act of service Notice a feeling without acting on it Healing doesn't require fixing yourself. It starts with not doing it alone.     Resources Mentioned Hitchhiking Into Recovery 12-Step Recovery Programs Step 3 Prayer Step 11: Prayer and Meditation Service work in recovery Guest Contact Info: 

In this Think Thursday episode, we explore how the human brain evolved to use discomfort as information—and what happens when modern life removes nearly all friction, effort, and delay.Our brains weren't designed for constant comfort. Discomfort once served as critical feedback, helping guide behavior, attention, rest, and problem-solving. But in today's world of instant gratification and instant relief, discomfort is often treated as a problem to eliminate rather than a signal to interpret.This episode unpacks why that shift matters for brain health, motivation, resilience, and long-term satisfaction—and how intentional discomfort can support a hedonic reset.In this episode, we discuss:Why discomfort evolved as a key feedback mechanism in the human brainHow instant relief interrupts the brain's ability to learn from discomfortThe difference between regulation and comfort from a neuroscience perspectiveHow highly concentrated, low-effort rewards shape motivation and satisfactionThe concept of hedonic adaptation and why “enough” keeps movingWhat a hedonic reset actually is (and what it isn't)How intentional discomfort supports nervous system regulationThe role of dopamine, effort, and delay in sustaining motivationWhy distress tolerance is a foundational skill for behavior changeHow identity shifts through repeated, slightly uncomfortable choicesExpert perspectives referenced:Dr. Anna Lembke, author of Dopamine Nation, on pleasure–pain balance and modern reward concentrationDr. Andrew Huberman on dopamine signaling, effort, and motivationJames Clear on identity following behaviorInspiration from a conversation on the Mel Robbins Podcast with Dr. LembkeOne gentle experiment to try this week:Choose one moment per day when you notice mild discomfort—boredom, restlessness, or the urge to distract—and pause instead of fixing it.Examples:Standing in line without reaching for your phoneSitting with boredom for 60–90 secondsLetting an urge rise and fall without reactingNotice:Where you feel the sensation in your bodyWhat thoughts show upWhether the feeling changes on its ownThis isn't about forcing discomfort or pushing through distress. It's about teaching your nervous system that discomfort is tolerable and temporary—and that awareness alone can create change.Key takeaway:Discomfort isn't a problem to solve. It's information to work with.In a culture built around instant relief and effortless reward, intentional discomfort can be a powerful way to restore balance, protect motivation, and support long-term brain health. ★ Support this podcast ★

Not medical advice.TOPICS DISCUSSED:Biased agonism: Different drugs activate the same receptor (e.g., 5-HT2A) but trigger varied intracellular pathways, explaining why LSD is psychedelic while similar lisuride is not.Enantiomers & isomers: Mirror-image versions of drugs like MDMA (S and R forms) and LSD (four isomers) often produce distinct effects; only one LSD isomer is psychedelic, for example.MDMA isomer effects: S-MDMA induces stronger head twitches (psychedelic proxy) via serotonin release, and increases dendritic spines in male mice but not females; R-MDMA has somewhat different effects.Sex-specific drug responses: In mice, females show stronger psychedelic effects (head twitches) from psilocybin and DOI at the same dose, but males exhibit greater post-acute benefits like reduced opioid withdrawal.Psilocybin in opioid addiction models: A single dose reduces place preference for oxycodone and withdrawal symptoms in male mice more than females, with opposite spine density effects in reward-related brain areas.Mechanisms beyond 5-HT2A: Psychedelics involve other receptors like metabotropic glutamate receptors, forming dimers with 5-HT2A to enable dual signaling pathways; effects in subcortical regions like nucleus accumbens are 5-HT2A-independent.Clinical implications: Street MDMA may vary in S/R ratios, affecting experiences; clinical trials often use racemic mixtures without weight-adjusted dosing, potentially missing sex differences.ABOUT THE GUEST: Javier Gonzalez-Maeso, PhD is a professor of pharmacology and toxicology at Virginia Commonwealth University, with a PhD in medicine from Spain focused on G-protein coupled receptors and human brain studies in depression and addiction.RELATED EPISODE:M&M 230 | Psilocybin & MDMA: Inflammation, Stress & Brain-Body Communication | Michael WheelerSupport the showHealth Products by M&M Partners: SporesMD: Premium mushrooms products (gourmet mushrooms, nootropics, research).

Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!This week Pip is joined by model, activist and general whirlwind of greatness JESS MEGAN!A deluxe edition of the podcast this week as Pip catches up with Jess, which as you will bear witness to, is no average catch up. While they worked together on the 'Dark Summer' Speech Development merch shoot back in 2016, which seems like mere months ago, that was an entire decade ago it turns out. And as with life in general, it also turns out that an almost insurmountable itinerary can intervene. In Jess's case, without treading on any of what you're about to hear, there's been an immense amount of grief, varying degrees of addiction, depression, and in case you need any sensitivity warnings, there is frank discussion of suicide - so please know that before you begin this episode.Of course, among the heavier elements of the conversation, a huge amount of light enters - Jess and Pip are lovely people and you're in safe hands, as hopefully you'll feel aware of by now. There's a lovely balance of the fun and the far more serious, including a lot of fascinating chat regarding social media and the like. But importantly, even if this situation doesn't mirror one of your own, there will likely be familiar moments or perhaps some which might be of help for others going through it. However you meet it, you'll emerge at the end in a different spot, and hopefully have found a glorious new friend in the bargain. A valuable, intimate but ultimately incredibly powerful conversation right here folks.PIP'S PATREON PAGE if you're of a supporting natureJESS IGSPEECH DEVELOPMENT WEBSTOREPIP TWITCH • (music stuff)PIP INSTAGRAMPIP TWITTERPIP PATREONPIP IMDBPOD BIBLE Hosted on Acast.

In this episode of the Man Within Podcast, host Sathiya Sam reflects on his transformative journey from a decade-long struggle with pornography addiction to achieving over one million downloads of his podcast. He shares the pivotal moments that led to his recovery, emphasizing that it wasn't sheer willpower or discipline that made the difference, but rather a shift in mindset and the establishment of supportive systems. Sathiya recounts his early experiences with pornography, the challenges he faced during his university years, and the realization that he needed to change the systems in his life that perpetuated his addiction. He highlights the importance of community support and the role it played in his healing process, ultimately leading him to help others facing similar struggles.  

Keith Petty believes he would likely be dead from alcohol consumption if cannabis had not entered his life, as he consumed alcohol daily for years and engaged in destructive occasional drinking.Childhood trauma began early for Keith with his mother's incarceration and substance abuse problems, his grandparents' divorce when he was six or seven, and eventual placement in foster care at age 13 due to medical neglect.Foster care placement initially created culture shock as Keith moved from a chaotic household where his uncle sold marijuana to a strict religious family with no television and church three times weekly.Violence occurred in Keith's second foster home over sexuality issues and an AOL gay chat room incident, leading to his placement with a neighbor who became his permanent foster mother until age 19.Alcoholism escalated after Keith's first relationship ended, leading to ten years of reckless destruction including credit card fraud using his company's credit card for partying purposes.Legal consequences resulted in Keith facing jail time for credit card fraud and forgery at age 26, but he qualified for Virginia's first-time offenders program requiring two years of drug court and outpatient rehabilitation.Recovery through court-ordered sobriety was challenging as Keith had no family financial support system, forcing him to give up his leased home and handle legal consequences independently.A severe accident occurred in 2020 when Keith fell while day drinking during COVID quarantine, breaking his tibia, fibula, talus, and calcaneus bones, requiring surgery with rods and screws and causing permanent nerve damage.Blood alcohol content measured 0.34 the morning after Keith's accident, more than four times the legal limit of 0.08, highlighting the severity of his alcohol consumption.Pain management options were rejected by Keith due to family history with opiates, and high-dose ibuprofen consumption threatened organ damage, leading his doctor to suggest cannabis as an alternative.Cannabis treatment began with edibles and vaping cartridges, successfully managing Keith's pain while allowing his doctor to discontinue his Xanax prescription and break a generational cycle of benzodiazepine dependence.Mental health improvements from cannabis included reduced stress, better ADHD management alongside his Vyvanse prescription, and clearer thinking without sedation or brain fog.Business opportunity emerged when Keith was overcharged at a vape shop, inspiring him to convert his old party bus into a mobile cannabis dispensary serving farmer's markets, biker events, and local fairs.Sobriety from alcohol has been maintained for two years without AA meetings, as cannabis helped Keith view alcohol differently and removed its appeal entirely.  Visit our website: CannabisHealthRadio.comFind high-quality cannabis and CBD + get free consultations at MyFitLife.net/cannabishealthDiscover products and get expert advice from Swan ApothecaryFollow us on Facebook.Follow us on Instagram.Find us on Rumble.Keep your privacy!

Hey y'all! Kaleb and I are Kicking off our Month of Love series by tackling a topic we ALL start at: singleness. Whether you're single and thriving, single and frustrated, or just figuring it out — this episode is for you. We got real about what it's like being single in today's culture (Christian and not), the myths we were fed, and how to actually make the most of your single season. We talked about red flags, emotional baggage, addiction, and yes — the espresso martini epidemic

While the term "hyperpalatable" has been used frequently for considerable time to refer to foods that are so appealing and tasty that they drive overeating, this term hasn't been well-defined nor has there been a universal standard for what it means. One researcher who set out to create an objective definition for hyper-palatable foods (HPFs) is Dr. Tera Fazzino. Using specific defined thresholds of sugar, fat and salt combinations, Dr. Fazzino and colleagues have looked at the impact of consumption of these HPFs. In this episode, we delve into defining HPFs and their nutrient profiles, whether they have addictive-like properties, how HPFs differ from (and overlap with) ultra-processed foods (UPFs), the mechanisms by which these foods drive overconsumption, and the broader public health implications. Tera Fazzino, PhD, is an associate professor of psychology at the University of Kansas. Her research focuses on addiction, obesity, and eating-related behaviors.

Text Us Your Feedback! (Likes, Dislikes, Guest/Conversation Recommendations). What happens when the man you love breaks your trust—and then chooses to fight for his integrity?In this deeply honest episode of the ManKind Podcast, Boysen sits down with Craig and Michelle Perra, co-founders of the Mindful Habit System—a revolutionary behavior change model that's helped thousands of men break free from sex and porn addiction, not through shame, but by building habits of integrity, accountability, and self-leadership.Craig shares his descent into secrecy, addiction, and rock bottom—and how Michelle stood in her power, not to save him, but to save herself. Together, they share the hard-earned wisdom of doing the deep work: navigating betrayal, reclaiming trust, and showing up in partnership with radical honesty.The Mindful Habit System isn't 12-step. It's not religion-based. It's a structured, practical approach to long-term change—one that addresses not just compulsive behaviors, but the root causes: shame, trauma, emotional repression, and disconnection. For partners, it offers a parallel path to healing and empowerment, independent of their loved one's success or failure.This episode explores what it means to live sexually in integrity, why communication without defensiveness is so attractive, and how men and couples can rebuild stronger than ever—one choice at a time.

Jane's Addiction's Dave Navarro was only 15 years old when his mother was brutally murdered in her apartment by her ex-boyfriend. The killer escaped, and for eight long years eluded capture. During those years, Dave Navarro couldn't shake the pain of his mother's death or the fear of knowing that the man responsible was at large. He became addicted to heroin. He nearly died when he OD'd in a London flat. And his addiction helped drive a rift in his band just as they were reaching a critical and commercial height. This episode contains themes that may be disturbing to some listeners, including descriptions of stalking and domestic violence. This episode was originally published on December 5, 2023.

Our Senior Pastor, Miles Fidell, begins our conversation on sex and addiction from 1 Corinthians 6, revealing how overconsumption and constant dopamine access leave us wounded, enslaved, and paying the greatest price — losing our ability to hear the voice of God. In Christ, we are washed by the blood and invited into true freedom through minds governed by the Spirit!
