Episode SummaryIn this Think Thursday episode, Molly explores why December feels so emotionally intense and why anticipation plays such a powerful role in our thoughts, feelings, and habits. Anticipation is not just psychological. It is driven by the brain's predictive systems that simulate the future long before it arrives.Using findings from neuroscience, including research highlighted in Neuron, University College London, Stanford University, and studies on dopamine and reward processing, Molly explains how imagining the future changes our emotional state in the present. She shows how anticipation can create craving, heighten anxiety, and influence behavior before anything even happens.Importantly, she connects this science to behavior change. When we understand anticipation, we gain the ability to shape our emotional experience, support our habit goals, and build a stronger relationship with our future selves.What You Will LearnWhy the brain is not reactive but predictiveHow the prospection network simulates possible futuresWhy anticipation activates the same regions involved in memory and emotionHow dopamine spikes during anticipation more than during rewardWhy the holidays intensify emotional forecastingHow the brain treats future you similarly to a strangerHow anticipation contributes to cravings, stress, and anxietyPractical strategies for using anticipation intentionally in behavior changeKey Insights from the EpisodeAnticipation is a physiological experience. Heart rate, dopamine, and emotional readiness all shift based on prediction.December amplifies anticipation because the brain is projecting ahead using vivid emotional memories from past holidays.Many habit patterns with alcohol, eating, and spending are anticipatory rather than reactive in the moment.The medial prefrontal cortex becomes less active when imagining the distant future, which explains why future you feels separate.Mental rehearsal activates the same neural pathways as actual behavior and can support intentional change.Anticipatory framing can influence how stressful events are interpreted afterward.Practical Tools from the Episode1. Anticipate the emotional landscape, not the event. Shift from worrying about what will happen to planning for how you want to feel.2. Rehearse your chosen identity. Imagine yourself acting in alignment with your values to strengthen the neural pathways that support follow-through.3. Shorten the distance to future you. Ask questions like:What will tonight's me thank me forWhat does tomorrow morning's me need4. Anticipate urges with curiosity. Recognize that urges are forecasts of relief, not emergencies.5. Create micro anticipations that ground you. Examples include expecting the first sip of warm tea, a quiet step outside, or the feeling of waking up proud the next morning.Studies and Sources Mentioned2023 review in Neuron on the prospection networkUniversity College London study on dopamine release during anticipatory uncertaintyStanford University research on future self representation in the brainStudies from the University of Michigan and Max Planck Institute on dopamine and anticipation2024 Psychological Science study on anticipatory framing and stress interpretation ★ Support this podcast ★

23 Time-Tested Tips To Get Shredded in 2026Short description:In this episode of The Eric Bach Show, Eric walks through 23 battle-tested strategies to get legitimately shredded in 2026 without wrecking your hormones, your joints, or your sanity. From calories and macros to training, sleep, stress, and environment, this is a full roadmap for busy adults who want to get lean and stay lean without living in the gym.What you'll learn:Fat loss fundamentals:– How fast you can realistically lose fat without burning off muscle (usually about 1–2 pounds per week).– How to reverse-engineer your timeline instead of crash dieting and then rebounding.– Why constantly program-hopping destroys progress.Calories and macros:– A simple starting point for calories: roughly bodyweight times 10 for fat loss.– Why aiming for about 1 gram of protein per pound of target bodyweight works well for most people.– How to use carbs to fuel training instead of cutting them to zero.– Why very aggressive deficits and extreme low-carb approaches often backfire on hormones, thyroid, and performance.Deficit limits:– Why you generally shouldn't diet harder than about a 30% calorie deficit for long periods.– How pushing too hard leads to lower energy, reduced movement, higher cravings, and brutal plateaus.Food quality and structure:– The “foods that had a face or came from the ground” rule.– Why minimally processed, single-ingredient foods simplify fat loss and improve fullness.– The power of eating the same meals on repeat to reduce decisions and cravings.– How consistent meal timing can make hitting your targets almost automatic.Environment design:– How to set up your kitchen and home so you are not relying on willpower all day.– Why keeping trigger foods around is like trying to be sober while living in a bar.Movement, steps, and cardio:– Why aiming for around 10,000 steps per day is such a powerful fat loss tool.– The benefits of short, 10-minute walks after meals for blood sugar and appetite.– How to use cardio intelligently without turning your life into endless treadmill sessions.Training to get shredded:– Why you should be lifting weights at least 3–4 times per week when getting lean.– The key movement patterns to build your training around: squats, hinges, pushes, pulls, lunges, and carries.– A simple, effective workout structure: 4–6 main exercises per session, heavier strength work first, then higher-rep hypertrophy work, and optional finishers.– Why including jumps and throws keeps you athletic, powerful, and more resilient as you age.Hydration, electrolytes, and recovery:– How hydration and electrolytes can improve pumps, performance, and joint comfort when calories and carbs are lower.– Why recovery becomes even more important when you're dieting.Supplements (no BS):– Protein powder as a convenient food, not magic.– When intra-workout carbs can help support performance and immune function during a cut.– Core supplements Eric often uses: fish oil, vitamin D, creatine, and magnesium.Sleep and lifestyle:– Why sleep is one of the most underrated fat loss tools.– A simple sleep routine structure (like cutting off caffeine, food, work, and screens at progressive times before bed).– How better sleep leads to more willpower, fewer cravings, better hormones, and better training.Alcohol:–...

Ever notice how one or two drinks now feel like you ran a marathon, slept four hours, and woke up with anxiety for no clear reason? Yeah… same. In this episode, I sit down with Sarah Kate, writer, creator, and one of North America's first sober sommeliers, to talk about what it really looks like to live a booze-free (or booze-lighter) life in midlife without feeling deprived, awkward, or stuck with sad mocktails. We unpack: · Why alcohol suddenly hits very different in perimenopause · How hormone changes make hangovers, anxiety, poor sleep, and belly fat harder to escape · What "sober curious" actually means · Why noticing the shift doesn't mean you're broken — it means you're paying attention · The rise of high-quality nonalcoholic wine, beer, and spirits · Why your liver puts alcohol at the front of the line and what that means for estrogen balance · How to start cutting back without white-knuckling it · And why sparkling water alone is no longer the answer Sarah also shares her personal journey of stepping away from wine culture, how the nonalcoholic beverage industry has completely evolved, and why women finally have better options that still feel elevated and social. If you love your wine but secretly hate how it makes you feel the next day, this episode is your permission slip to rethink without pressure, labels, or perfection. In This Episode, You'll Learn: · Why midlife bodies no longer bounce back from alcohol · How alcohol impacts estrogen, cortisol, and sleep · What makes nonalcoholic wine today very different from the stuff of the past · How to enjoy social life without feeling left out · Why mindset matters more than willpower when cutting back · The small shifts that make the biggest difference This isn't about quitting forever. It's about paying attention to what your body has been trying to tell you and finally listening — without turning it into another thing you have to be perfect at.

Have you ever felt like your reactions are out of your control? Today, Rosie and Tamara explore the roots of self-judgment and shame with Coaches Cole and Hayley, Alcohol Freedom Guides for The Path. Rosie is working to reframe her reactive responses to stress and anxiety, which she realizes are tied to a childhood feeling of being "shut down." Tamara uncovers her core belief that she isn't "good enough," a pattern reinforced by past relationships and growing up with a parent who struggled with alcohol use. These conversations show how identifying deeply rooted beliefs can be the first step in breaking the cycle of self-criticism and building a new way forward. Rosie's Session: Understanding her "knee-jerk reactions" to stress & anxiety Linking current reactivity to past experiences of feeling shut down or unheard Reframing shame & self-judgmentUsing curiosity and awareness with emotional responses Creating a "pause" between an external trigger & her reaction Practicing new skills for changing long-standing patterns Seeing her anger as a "guard dog" trying to protect her Tamara's Session: Facing fear of rejection & feeling "not good enough" Naming the origin of her core beliefs in childhood experiences of feeling a lack of attention & love Seeing how her beliefs were reinforced by a parent's alcohol use & pressure to "over-excel" Noticing how anxiety & panic led her to drink to cope Finding other tools for self-regulation like journaling & yoga Embracing glimmers of joy & self-worth Listing positive qualities to build self-validation & quiet her inner critic Using self-reflection as a catalyst for growth Cole Harvey is a certified Naked Mind Senior Coach. For years, he felt lost and used alcohol as a way to cope, until he decided to go alcohol-free and focus on finding his purpose.

Hey, Heal Squad! Today we're diving into the organ almost nobody thinks about… yet it quietly controls your energy, your metabolism, your sleep, your skin...everything. And it might just be the key to your deepest healing. We're joined by Siggi Clavien, Founder & CEO of The Liver Clinic, who has dedicated his life to stopping the alarming rise in liver disease. Ready for this? Over 40% of the population now has fatty liver disease and more than 70% of those cases have nothing to do with alcohol. Yep! The real culprits are hiding in your everyday life, and Siggi drops two shockers you absolutely won't see coming. But here's the hope: Your liver regenerates itself every three years. Meaning you have the power to rebuild it stronger than ever, and today, Siggi shows us what we can do to begin learning more about our livers and the very first signs your liver is struggling (think: brain fog, poor sleep, stubborn weight you can't lose) and how those subtle clues might actually be your body's earliest SOS. Can't wait for everyone to take action and give their livers the love they deserve. HEALERS & HEAL-LINERS:  Alarming Rise in Liver Disease: Liver disease is up 400% and over 70% of cases are non-alcohol–related, despite assumptions that drinking is the main cause. Causes are now connected to chemical overload, like micro plastics, pesticides, medications & artificial sweeteners. Early Signs & Silent Progression: First signs are subtle: brain fog, sleep disruptions, weight gain, and mitochondrial dysregulation (especially for women). Sleep, Repair & Liver Overload: The liver performs major repair work during sleep. Alcohol dramatically worsens sleep because it forces the liver into overtime.

Episode Summary Most women who struggle with alcohol never fit the stereotype of the “daily drinker.” They function well, they hold everything together, and from the outside, everything looks fine. Yet inside, alcohol is shaping far more than they realize.   In this episode, Sara breaks down how to recognize when drinking is running your life, even if you don't drink every day. She explores the subtle signs of low grade dependency, how mental energy becomes entangled with alcohol, and why frequency does not equal severity.   Whether you are still drinking or already alcohol free, this episode will help you see your relationship with alcohol with more honesty, clarity, and compassion. In This Episode You'll Learn: 1. Why frequency isn't the real issue Sara dismantles the old belief that “a real problem” only exists when someone drinks every day. She explains why modern drinking struggles show up through mental preoccupation, not just quantity. 2. The four signs alcohol may be running your life Sara walks through four categories where alcohol leaves fingerprints, even for gray area drinkers: Mental and emotional signs such as rule setting, constant planning, thinking about alcohol like clockwork, or needing it to regulate emotions. Physical and sleep signs like middle-of-the-night wakeups, sluggish mornings, anxiety spikes, cravings, and inflammation. Behavioral signs including, sneaking sips, avoiding events without alcohol, or planning commitments around hangovers. Identity signs such as struggling to imagine yourself without alcohol or leaning heavily on your “drinking persona.” 3. The brain chemistry behind “needing a drink” Sara breaks down dopamine spikes, cortisol crashes, and why anxiety lingers for days after drinking. She highlights why even inconsistent drinking still keeps the reinforcement loop alive. 4. What gray area drinking actually is Most women who feel stuck in the start-and-stop cycle aren't “alcoholics.” They're gray area drinkers living in quiet chaos, often rewarded by society for coping silently. 5. Why a meaningful break changes everything Taking 30 days off alcohol stabilizes the nervous system, exposes what alcohol has been costing you, and gives you a first glimpse of the peace and clarity you've been chasing. 6. The questions that matter more than ‘How much do I drink?' Sara offers reflection questions to help you evaluate whether alcohol is supporting your life or slowing it down. Key Takeaways Alcohol doesn't have to completely derail your life to be running it. If you're thinking about it daily, planning around it, or dreading life without it, that is enough information. A meaningful break is often the turning point where everything becomes clear.  Alcohol is a socially accepted poison that disconnects you from your power, but stepping back reconnects you to who you really are.

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.

This episode took the air out of the room.Jessica sits down with Urban Valor and walks us through the life most people never see behind the uniform. From a childhood surrounded by chaos and addiction… to stepping into a Marine Corps environment that felt more like danger than brotherhood… to losing herself inside a bottle just trying to cope with the weight of everything she'd carried since childhood.She gets real about the DUI that nearly ended her career, the harassment she endured, the blackmail that pushed her to the edge, and the moment she realized the system that was supposed to protect her was ready to burn her instead.And then — she takes us into the deep end.Her ibogaine journey.The pain.The hallucinations.The emotional rebirth.The moment she met the child version of herself and finally understood why she drank, why she ran, and why she hurt.This might be one of the most important conversations we've had with a veteran. Not because it's dramatic — but because it's honest.

This episode opens with pure chaos: a toilet-water cold open, Maxx accidentally handing out sink water, and Russell getting surprised with a massive 60-pack of wooden hangers. The group slides right into their usual rhythm — roasting each other, questioning life choices, and joking about personal style shifts like cowboy hats and Spotify Wrapped embarrassment. From there, they jump into AI music, Drake theories, and the surprising quality of AI-generated songs, even attempting to generate a country track about the podcast on the spot. The middle of the episode takes a sharp turn into heavier territory: Diddy allegations, Tupac and Biggie conspiracy questions, and a surprisingly detailed breakdown of crime, bullet tracing, shoot/don't-shoot scenarios, and the Oscar Pistorius case. That flows into a long, surprisingly thoughtful conversation about money. OBJ's comments about a $100M contract "not being enough" spark discussions on taxes, lifestyle inflation, athlete culture, and the pressures young stars face. Maxx shares a wild story about someone blowing through $20M and ending up with only $25K, leading into a bigger conversation about race, culture, and why certain communities feel more pressure to flaunt or financially support extended family. The episode wraps with lighter sports energy: Maxx's first "real" NBA game experience, the Rockets beating the Suns, Kevin Durant hitting free-Chick-fil-A threes, and thoughts on why NBA arenas feel different now. They finish with Harlem Globetrotter myths, half-court shooters, and the realities of elite athleticism — including Joe's legendary story of getting dunked on by Justise Winslow and taking a freshman's nuts straight to the face. A classic Don't Be Sour episode: unfiltered, chaotic, and weirdly insightful.

A Stranger Saved a Retired NYPD Officer's Life on Christmas Eve, A Special Episode Worth Hearing. This is more than a headline. It is a true story of survival, loss, depression, and an unexpected moment of human connection that changed everything. Look for The Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast on social media like their Facebook , Instagram , LinkedIn , Medium and other social media platforms. Dean Simpson is a retired police officer from the New York City Police Department. Years before this Christmas Eve, he was shot in the line of duty during a violent, life-and-death encounter. He survived the attack, but the shooting left him permanently disabled. What followed was a slow, painful unraveling that many first responders know too well. The inpsiring episode is streaming for free on the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast website, on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube, and most every major Podcast platform Purpose disappeared. Pain remained. Alcohol filled the silence. By December of 2001, Dean's life had narrowed to drinking, isolation, and attending one police funeral after another. Just three months earlier, the Twin Towers had fallen. While his fellow officers ran toward the chaos on September 11, Dean woke up late, hungover, and drowning in guilt. He still put on his uniform and reported to Ground Zero, working at “The Pile” for weeks, until he realized he wasn't helping anymore. A Stranger Saved a Retired NYPD Officer's Life on Christmas Eve, A Special Episode Worth Hearing. Supporting articles about this and much more from Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast in platforms like Medium , Blogspot and Linkedin . Then came Christmas Eve. That morning, Dean put his father's revolver in one pocket and his father's worn Bible in the other. He boarded a train at Penn Station with a one-way ticket upstate. He had already decided that once he reached his destination, his life would end. He chose a secluded place so no one would have to clean up the mess, a thought that haunted him even then. While the train rolled north through snow-covered landscapes, a stranger sat down next to him. Her name was Erin. She was a chatty grandmother with a red scarf and a warm smile, exactly the kind of person Dean did not want to talk to. She spoke about the beauty of the city, the holidays, life, and love. Dean sat in silence, angry at her optimism, angry at everything. When she finally asked what he loved about New York City, his response was cold and sharp. Available for free on their website and streaming on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Youtube and other podcast platforms. “I love being left alone.” Instead of snapping back or moving seats, Erin stayed. When Dean apologized, she accepted. Slowly, gently, she drew him into conversation. She shared her own story, her late husband, her children, her grandchildren. And for the first time in a long while, Dean talked about his life. About being shot. About losing his father. About feeling useless and invisible. A Stranger Saved a Retired NYPD Officer's Life on Christmas Eve, A Special Episode When the train reached Albany, Erin handed him a small pink note. “I don't know where you're headed,” she told him, “but when you get there, read this.” They hugged, and she was gone. Dean continued on to Black Mountain, climbing toward Lake George with ice-capped water below. At the summit, he opened his father's Bible. A scrap of paper fell out, marking a verse: Corinthians 10:13. To a cop, that number meant something else entirely, police code for officer needs assistance. The Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast episode is available for free on their website , Apple Podcasts , Spotify and most major podcast platforms. Then he read Erin's note: “Dean, life is a gift meant to be shared. Don't ever give up hope. Merry Christmas. Erin.” In that moment, something lifted. The weight inside him eased. Dean emptied the revolver and threw it into the abyss. Then he turned around and walked back down the mountain. A Stranger Saved a Retired NYPD Officer's Life on Christmas Eve. That was the day a stranger saved his life. In this special episode of the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast, Dean Simpson tells his story openly, not for attention, but to reach others who may be standing on the same edge. He speaks about trauma, addiction, purpose, and recovery. He shares how the badge shaped him, how it nearly broke him, and how one unexpected act of kindness redirected his life. His interview can be found on The Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast website, on Apple podcasts, Spotify, Youtube and on LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram, and across most podcast platforms where listeners will find authentic law enforcement stories. Dean is also the author of two books: The Blue Pawn: A Memoir of an NYPD Foot Soldier, a raw and unfiltered account of life in law enforcement, and Godless v. Trust: The Radical Left's Quest to Destroy Western Civilization, reflecting the worldview forged through experience and service. His story has been shared across Facebook, Instagram, and various news outlets, and is now featured in a special episode of a powerful podcast conversation. Listeners can hear Dean tell this story in his own words on Apple, Spotify, and other major podcast platforms.

How do you handle holiday triggers without alcohol when every gathering feels like a test? The clinking glasses, "just one won't hurt" comments, and family dynamics can overwhelm anyone navigating an alcohol-free holiday season. Coach Zoe has a game-changing perspective: triggers aren't your enemy—they're messengers pointing to what you actually need. In this powerful Joy Edit episode, you'll discover the brain science behind holiday triggers and learn Annie Grace's visualization technique for preparing your nervous system before challenging situations. Instead of white-knuckling through parties, you'll explore practical tools like "curiosity goggles," the ACT method (Awareness, Clarity, Turnaround), and trigger mapping. Coach Zoe breaks down the most common holiday triggers—from party pressure to family flashbacks—and reveals the unmet needs hiding beneath each one.

Steve Smith and James Lloyd from The Alcohol-Free Revolution podcast return to Flixwatcher to review Steve's choice Dead Poets Society. Dead Poets Society (1989) is a semi autobiographical American drama film based on a script by Tom Schulman and his experience at the Montgomery Bell Academy in Nashville, Tennessee and his inspirational teacher, Samuel Pickering and directed by Peter (The Truman Show) Weir. A new English teacher, John Keating (Robin Williams), is introduced to an all-boys preparatory school that is known for its ancient traditions and high standards. He uses unorthodox methods to reach out to his students, who face enormous pressures from their parents and the school. With Keating's help, students Neil Perry (Robert Sean Leonard), Todd Anderson (Ethan Hawke) and others learn to break out of their shells, pursue their dreams and seize the day. Recommendability scores for Dead Poets Society were mixed, first time watchers Steve (4) and James (1) had very different scores and repeat viewers Flixwatcher were more in the middle. However low repeat viewing scores give an overall rating of 3.21.

You Put Down the Drink, But Now You Can’t Stop Thinking About Food. Here’s Why. If you’ve traded your nightly wine for nightly ice cream binges, you’re not alone. And no, it’s not just about willpower or “getting your act together.” In this episode, I sit down with Ali Shapiro, creator of the Truce with Food methodology, to unpack the real reasons we turn to food and sugar in recovery—and it goes way deeper than you think. Ali shares her personal journey from childhood cancer and pesticide exposure to developing a complicated relationship with food that mirrored so many of the patterns we see in addiction. We dive into the difference between food addiction and disordered eating, why belonging (not hunger) drives most of our food choices, and the four emotional triggers that send us straight to the pantry. This conversation will change how you think about food forever. We talk about the TAIL framework (Tiredness, Anxiety, Inadequacy, Loneliness), why protein is your secret weapon against sugar cravings, and how self-trust—not perfection—is the real foundation of recovery from any substance. If you’ve ever felt crazy around food, ashamed of your eating habits, or wondered why you can’t just “eat normal,” this episode is for you. HERE ARE THE 3 KEY TAKEAWAYS FROM THIS EPISODE: 1️⃣ Food Isn’t the Problem—Belonging Is —  Understanding this invisible string changes everything. 2️⃣ The TAIL Framework Reveals Your True Triggers — When you can identify what job food is doing for you, you can address the real need underneath. 3️⃣ Protein Is Your Anti-Craving Superpower — It’s not about willpower—it’s about physiology.

It's been six years since Melissa last had a sip of alcohol. In this episode, she shares what called her to stop, how choosing discomfort led to real transformation, and the clarity that came from stepping into a life that feels aligned. She explores the question, “Are you believing everything you think?” and opens up about why she doesn't identify as “sober” and what that means for her journey. Melissa also touches on a key lesson from next week's episode with Dr. Amen: how every choice either strengthens or harms the brain. This is a year of stripping back, telling the truth, and living with radical transparency. Melissa invites you to reflect: Are you okay with where your life is right now, or are you craving more? A powerful conversation for anyone reevaluating their relationship with alcohol, identity, or the life they want to create.Get a special deal now through December 1st for up to $700 off the Pod 5 Ultra.

Using alcohol to numb emotions—does it really keep you safe, or just keep you stuck in old patterns? For Ann, alcohol became the shortcut to avoid conflict and silence emotions she'd been told to keep hidden since childhood. For Mandy, the urge to drink after work felt like the only way to shut off stress and self-criticism. In this powerful coaching session, Coach Zoe invites both women to explore what's really underneath the desire to drink when feelings become overwhelming. Together, they uncover the links between shame, perfectionism, anxiety, and cravings—and learn practical ways to process emotions without running from them. Their stories show how self-compassion, body awareness, and simple grounding tools can open the door to healing. This conversation is both raw and hopeful, reminding us that the urge to numb is really an invitation to feel, heal, and choose differently. In Ann's session: The lifelong habit of emotional suppression The neuroscience behind drinking to numb feelings Learning to identify and name emotions for the first time Recognizing that needing is not a threat to survival Starting to care for yourself and your body as a path to healing The power of holding space for yourself and your emotions Acknowledging the journey of emotional recovery And more topics… In Mandy's session: The emotional weight of unprocessed past experiences How a lifetime of hypervigilance creates the need to escape Realizing that self-sabotage is a coping mechanism Finding new, creative hobbies to replace drinking The wisdom of the body and the courage to feel Gaining confidence in your own perspective and voice Acknowledging that the journey to healing is not always linear And more… Zoe Ewart is a Certified Naked Mind Senior Coach who brings her experience and understanding to help with the tricky parts of life's big changes. Her coaching gives you an enjoyable, light-hearted, and safe environment to effortlessly take back control of alcohol so you can feel better physically, mentally, and spiritually.

Rehab is a $42 billion industry hooked on bad science. Nick Pell helps us detox from its myths by prescribing the truth on Skeptical Sunday!Welcome to Skeptical Sunday, a special edition of The Jordan Harbinger Show where Jordan and a guest break down a topic that you may have never thought about, open things up, and debunk common misconceptions. This time around, we're joined by writer and researcher Nick Pell!Full show notes and resources can be found here: jordanharbinger.com/1249On This Week's Skeptical Sunday:The Minnesota Model dominates addiction treatment despite lacking evidence. This abstinence-based approach from the 1950s, requiring lifelong total abstinence from all substances, became the default not because it works best but because 12-step programs are free and easily scalable.Most people naturally age out of addiction without treatment. Research shows the majority who struggle with substances simply stop on their own over time, contradicting the "chronic disease" narrative that claims addiction requires lifelong management and intervention.The addiction treatment industry has massive financial conflicts of interest. As rehab is a $42 billion industry, practices like the "Florida Shuffle" and patient brokering weaponize relapse for profit, billing insurance repeatedly for the same patients cycling through facilities.The disease model of addiction lacks empirical support. There's no scientifically recognized "addictive personality," and the idea that addiction is an incurable, progressive disease isn't backed by research, yet it remains the dominant framework shaping treatment and policy.Evidence-based alternatives like harm reduction and moderation exist. Options including SMART Recovery, medication-assisted treatment, and gradual reduction approaches can be effective. You don't need to hit rock bottom before seeking help, and recovery can mean different things for different people.Connect with Jordan on Twitter, Instagram, and YouTube.
