Segment 1: • A Guardian report links pornography to pedophilia—and it's gaining traction. • Addiction isn't the root—sin is. You're not powerless. • Over 800 men in the UK are arrested monthly for child porn, and it escalates with exposure. Segment 2: • Porn is showing up in hospital abuse reports—kids are imitating what they see. • A KC hospital saw over 1,000 child abuse cases last year, many tied to porn. • Culture normalizes filth, but Scripture calls it shameful—and dangerous. Segment 3: • Hollywood feeds your appetite for sin—then hands you a mirror. • Men are delaying marriage, stunted by screens and passivity. • The Church must stop consuming what it should be confronting. Segment 4: • Marriage used to be the goal—now it's optional. • Culture redefines identity, success, and stability—and it's all unraveling. • Even names and family are no longer fixed in a shifting society. ___ Thanks for listening!

"We're not here for life to be easy. We define ourselves by our challenges.” What if the life you're living isn't broken, but simply out of alignment with how you were designed to live? In today's episode of SoulTalk, I dive deep with the brilliant Eric Edmeades. He's a visionary, entrepreneur, founder of WildFit, and one of the most dynamic voices in the personal growth and health space. We talk about the real reason most people struggle to change, why diets fail, and how lasting transformation comes down to one thing: identity. Eric breaks down the science of behavior change, the trap of willpower, and why the key to your future is shifting who you believe you are. He also shares powerful principles behind the WildFit approach, how our modern lifestyle clashes with our evolutionary design, and why our deepest suffering often comes not from struggle, but from the absence of challenge. Tune in and learn why evolution holds the secret to your well-being, and how to reclaim your energy, your clarity, and your power. If you've been craving real change, this conversation will light the way. Timestamps: (00:02:42) - Eric's early life and entrepreneurial roots.

Revenge has become Donald Trump's brand. That, at least, is the view of James Kimmel Jr, author of The Science of Revenge, who argues that revenge has become America's “deadliest addiction”. When we feel wronged, he says, our pain centers activate, triggering dopamine-releasing reward circuits that create pleasure from fantasizing about retaliation. This neurological pattern mirrors classic forms of substance addiction, and explains everything from street violence to Trump's "revenge brand" politics. Kimmel contends that roughly 20% of people become compulsively vengeful, driving most societal violence throughout history. The antidote? FORGIVENESS, which neuroscience shows actually eliminates pain rather than just masking it. Kimmel's provocative thesis suggests treating revenge like other addictions through public health approaches and potentially even pharmaceutical interventions. five key takeaways* Revenge is neurologically identical to drug addiction - Brain scans show that revenge-seeking activates the same dopamine reward circuits as substance abuse, making it literally addictive.* All violence stems from perceived victimization - From mass shootings to genocide, perpetrators first see themselves as victims seeking "righteous" retaliation for real or imagined grievances.* Forgiveness is a neurological "superpower" - Unlike revenge's temporary dopamine hit, forgiveness actually deactivates brain pain networks and permanently eliminates trauma rather than just covering it up.* Trump represents America's "revenge brand" - The current political climate reflects a nation caught in collective revenge addiction, with both sides seeking retaliatory pleasure for past grievances.* We need addiction-style treatment for violence - Just as we treat alcoholism with medical interventions, revenge addiction could be addressed through public health campaigns, education, and potentially pharmaceutical solutions.James Kimmel, Jr., J.D. is a lawyer, a lecturer in psychiatry at the Yale School of Medicine, and the founder and co-director of the Yale Collaborative for Motive Control Studies. A breakthrough scholar and expert on revenge and forgiveness, James first identified compulsive revenge seeking as an addiction. He developed the behavioral addiction model of revenge and the brain disease model of revenge addiction as public health approaches for preventing and treating violence. He made the study of revenge and forgiveness his life's work after nearly committing a mass shooting as a teenager. James created The Nonjustice System and the related Miracle Court App for healing from grievances and victimization, controlling revenge cravings and revenge addiction, and empowering forgiveness. He is a leader in expanding local, state, and national violence threat risk and reduction initiatives to include public behavioral health motive control strategies. He launched SavingCain.org, the first-of-it's-kind website aimed at preventing homicides and mass shootings by speaking directly to prospective killers (modeled on suicide prevention websites) and developed the "Warning Signs of a Revenge Attack" (modeled on heart attack prevention websites) to prevent violence before it happens. He also developed the School Nonjustice System bullying prevention and victim support program for use with schools and youth. He co-founded the largest peer support mental health agency in Pennsylvania, maintains an active legal practice, and is a speaker at workshops, seminars, trainings, conferences, and other public and private events. James is the author of three books on revenge and forgiveness: The Science of Revenge: Understanding the World's Deadliest Addiction--and How to Overcome It; The Trial of Fallen Angels, a novel; and Suing for Peace: A Guide for Resolving Life's Conflicts. James received his J.D. from the University of Pennsylvania and his B.S. summa cum laude from the Schreyer Honors College of the Pennsylvania State University.Named as one of the "100 most connected men" by GQ magazine, Andrew Keen is amongst the world's best known broadcasters and commentators.

In this episode of The Next Level Health & Fitness Podcast, I sit down with James Yount — a longtime listener and social media supporter who reached out to share his personal story of transformation. And after hearing it, I knew we had to record this episode. James has been sober from meth for five years. But his story isn't your typical “before and after.” He was actually overweight during his active addiction — something not often talked about — and has since lost a significant amount of weight as part of his journey back to health. We dive deep into his addiction, what finally led to his rock bottom, and how he found a new path through faith and fitness. James doesn't coach, sell programs, or try to be anything other than what he is: a guy in recovery who's passionate about sharing his story to help others. This is one of those episodes that reminds you why we do this work. It's real, it's raw, and it's full of heart. We cover: James' battle with meth addiction and how he finally got clean The unique challenge of being overweight during active addiction How faith became the foundation of his recovery The role fitness played in rebuilding his life What keeps him grounded today — five years sober and thriving Whether you're in recovery, know someone who is, or just need a reminder of the power of redemption — this one's worth a listen.

Whether you believe it or not, your life ... rather your ability to live (an ideally healthy life) is limited to a few absolutely vital factors of your biology, your metabolism, oxygen, clean unpolluted water, and your ability to produce and have adequate amount of glutathione in your body. It is the definitive antioxidant and it is under assault from many sides. Because it is vital and mostly found in your liver and is a major factor in detoxification being low on it is often sited as a cause for many diseases.NAC is the immediate precursor for making glutathione and it has saved thousands of lives because of that. THE World Health Organization lists it as the only treatment for Tylenol overdose and liver failure.It is now in a Renaissance due to covid 19 and once again it is saving (or making better) thousands of lives.

What if the urge to get even isn't just emotional—but addictive? Kevin, a devoted father and minister, says the betrayal of his marriage left him in pieces—even after winning full custody and a $750,000 judgment in court when he sued his ex-wife's lover for breaking up their marriage. Dr. James Kimmel, author of “The Science of Revenge: Understanding the World's Deadliest Addiction--and How to Overcome It”, joins Dr. Phil to explain how the need for revenge hijacks the brain like a drug—and why so many people get stuck in a destructive loop long after the pain has passed. Through a five-step process called the “nonjustice system,” Dr. Kimmel works with Kevin to help him break free from grievance and finally reclaim his peace. Dr. Phil breaks down the emotional science of revenge, the illusion of justice, and the power of choosing healing over hatred.

She specializes in treating clients with chronic health conditions (aka spoonies and medical refugees) and trauma (including medical trauma). Rick Doblin, Ph.D., is the Founder and President of the Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies (MAPS). He received his doctorate in Public Policy from Harvard's Kennedy School of Government, where he wrote his dissertation on the regulation of the medical uses of psychedelics and marijuana and his Master's thesis on a survey of oncologists about smoked marijuana vs. the oral THC pill in nausea control for cancer patients.His undergraduate thesis at New College of Florida was a 25-year follow-up to the classic Good Friday Experiment, which evaluated the potential of psychedelic drugs to catalyze religious experiences. He also conducted a thirty-four year follow-up study to Timothy Leary's Concord Prison Experiment. Rick studied with Dr. Stanislav Grof and was among the first to be certified as a Holotropic Breathwork practitioner.His professional goal is to help develop legal contexts for the beneficial uses of psychedelics and marijuana, primarily as prescription medicines but also for personal growth for otherwise healthy people, and eventually to become a legally licensed psychedelic therapist. He founded MAPS in 1986, and currently resides in Boston with his wife and puppy, with three empty rooms from his children who have all graduated college and begun their life journeys.

Revenge isn't just an emotional impulse—it's an addiction. Dr. Phil and James Kimmel, Jr., JD, break down its impact on the brain and how forgiveness rewires our chemistry for healing. Revenge feels like justice, but what if it's more like an addiction? Dr. Phil and James dive into the neuroscience behind revenge—how it hijacks our brain's pain and reward systems just like substance dependency. They explore how society reinforces these cycles, why letting go isn't weakness, and how forgiveness actually rewires the mind. Plus, Kimmel's “Non-Justice System” offers a fresh way to process grudges without fueling destruction. In Kimmel's latest groundbreaking book, The Science of Revenge: Understanding the World's Deadliest Addiction and How to Overcome It, unveils the unseen neurobiological forces behind our compulsive desires for retribution—an addiction that silently fuels violence and aggression in all its forms. James Kimmel, Jr., JD, is a lecturer in psychiatry at the Yale School of Medicine, a lawyer, and the founder and co-director of the Yale Collaborative for Motive Control Studies. A breakthrough scholar and expert on revenge, he first identified compulsive revenge seeking as an addiction and developed the behavioral addiction model of revenge as a public health approach for preventing and treating violence. He is the creator of The Nonjustice System https://nonjustice.org/ , the Miracle Court app https://www.miraclecourt.com/and https://SavingCain.org for recovering from grievances and revenge desires and preventing mass violence. He maintains an active legal practice and speaking calendar and is the author of two other books on revenge: Suing for Peace: A Guide for Resolving Life's Conflicts and The Trial of Fallen Angels, a novel.

In this powerful and deeply human conversation, Matthew sits down with Laurie Woolever—author of Care and Feeding: A Memoir—to explore the journey of reclaiming one's voice after years of living in the shadow of larger-than-life figures like Anthony Bourdain and Mario Batali. Topics covered: Why Laurie finally chose to write her memoir after decades in food media. What it's like to stop headlining other people's lives and start showing up in your own. Her path through addiction, shame, and sobriety—and how it shaped her. The emotional toll and moral complexity of writing honestly about people she's loved. The collapse of a marriage and the ripple effects of one deeply vulnerable moment. Infidelity, accountability, and what radical self-acceptance really looks like. Why “nice but boring” often hides deeper emotional safety—and how to spot a mature relationship. Dating in your 40s and beyond. What “playing the tape forward” teaches us about addiction, impulse, and the allure of red flags. Advice for people stuck in toxic attraction loops or mourning heartbreak they fear they'll never get over. Whether you're grappling with heartbreak, questioning your worth, or trying to navigate the messy terrain of self-reinvention, this episode will feel like a conversation with someone who's lived it and survived to tell the truth.
