Roughly 1 in 10 Americans take antidepressants. The most common type is SSRIs, or selective serotonin re-uptake inhibitors, like Prozac, Lexapro, and Zoloft. But what happens when you stop taking them? Studies don't point to a single conclusion, and there's ongoing debate among physicians and patients about the severity and significance of SSRI withdrawal symptoms. The discourse reached a fever pitch when Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. compared SSRI withdrawal to heroin withdrawal in January.Host Flora Lichtman digs into the data on SSRI withdrawal with psychiatrists Awais Aftab and Mark Horowitz.Guests: Dr. Awais Aftab is a clinical associate professor of psychiatry at Case Western Reserve University.Dr. Mark Horowitz is a clinical research fellow in the UK's National Health Service and scientific co-founder of Outro Health.Transcripts for each episode are available within 1-3 days at sciencefriday.com.

⚠️ WARNING: This episode will challenge everything you think you know about health. “Obesity kills more people worldwide every year than car crashes, terrorism, Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, and malnutrition combined.” In this eye-opening episode of Start Today, I bring you Dr. Saman Soleymani—a no-BS physician and entrepreneur running over a dozen practices—who exposes how Big Pharma and Big Food profit from disease while ignoring the #1 factor that could save your life: nutrition. From the obesity epidemic to GLP-1 drugs, testosterone, antidepressants, and birth control, Dr. Soleymani rips the lid off the lies that are killing people every single day. We uncover why waist size is the ultimate death predictor, how visceral fat destroys men's hormones, why SSRIs don't cure depression, the promising science of psilocybin, and the dangerous side effects of hormonal birth control that no one talks about. No fluff. No sugarcoating. Just the truth you need if you want to take back control of your body, your health, and your future.

Broadcast from KSQD, Santa Cruz on 9-25-2025: Dr. Dawn opens with disturbing whistleblower allegations from Patrick Chase about organ transplant corruption. He claims poor patients at Parkland Hospital were systematically denied kidneys that were redirected to wealthier patients at UT Southwestern Medical Center. In 36 documented cases, doctors rejected kidneys as unsuitable for Parkland patients, then transplanted those same organs at the prestigious academic hospital. Chase alleges financial incentives corrupt the entire system, from procurement organizations to waiting list management. She discusses widespread scientific fraud in medical journals, citing research about PLOS journal showing 45 editors facilitated acceptance of fraudulent papers at rates far exceeding chance. These editors represented only 1.3% of reviewers but were responsible for 30% of retracted articles. Paper mills now use AI to generate fake studies with fabricated data, selling authorship to academics seeking publication credits. This undermines evidence-based medicine when treatment guidelines rely on potentially fraudulent research. Dr. Dawn introduces holy basil as a sleep aid beyond melatonin, explaining how its active compound ocimum lowers cortisol and inhibits orexin pathways that promote wakefulness. Unlike melatonin which signals sleep onset, holy basil helps maintain deep sleep by preventing middle-of-night stress spikes. She recommends 500 milligrams of aqueous leaf extract, noting this Ayurvedic herb may be particularly helpful for menopausal women experiencing sleep disruption. She warns about medication-induced osteoporosis, revealing that proton pump inhibitors increase hip fracture risk by 217% after four years of use by impairing calcium absorption and triggering parathyroid hormone release. Antidepressants pose similar risks, with SSRIs increasing fracture risk by 68% and causing women to lose bone 1.6 times faster than non-users. Cancer treatments like androgen deprivation therapy cause severe bone loss, with 81% of long-term users developing osteoporosis. Dr. Dawn challenges cholesterol treatment guidelines, explaining that Quest Labs' recommendation for LDL under 100 contradicts actual medical standards. The Veterans Administration only recommends statins for LDL above 190 plus high cardiovascular risk, or 12% ten-year risk calculated using multiple factors. She criticizes the focus on cosmetic cholesterol numbers while ignoring that high-dose statins increase diabetes risk, which is a greater health threat than elevated LDL alone. A caller describes experiencing severe ear itching followed by facial puffiness after a haircut. Dr. Dawn explains this likely represents a histamine-mediated allergic reaction, possibly triggered by salon products rather than the haircut itself. She advises getting ingredient lists from the salon to identify potential allergens and notes that bilateral symptoms suggest systemic rather than contact allergy. The oral antihistamines the caller took were appropriate treatment. Another caller asks about statin use with LDL of 155, expressing concern about adverse effects. Dr. Dawn recommends calculating ten-year cardiovascular risk rather than focusing solely on LDL numbers. She explains serious statin risks including muscle breakdown and diabetes development, particularly in women. For patients with muscle pain from statins, she suggests CoQ10 supplementation, but discontinuation if symptoms persist to prevent kidney damage from rhabdomyolysis.
In this mind-bending episode, Dr. Roger McFillin shares the therapy session that shattered his understanding of how healing actually works. Originally written on his substack he feels compelled to share the entire story (with his clients permission). What started as a routine Monday evening appointment with a client overwhelmed, ready to give up and go on psychiatric drugs became the most extraordinary 90 minutes of his career. By the end, he witnessed something that defied all explanation—and then his car did something in the parking lot that made him question reality itself. A powerful lesson in the abilities we all possess but have forgotten.

For decades, we've been told that depression is caused by a “chemical imbalance” in the brain - something wrong with our serotonin that only a pill can fix. But what if that story was never actually backed by science?In this Healing 101 episode - part one of a two-part conversation - I'm joined by psychiatrist and researcher Joanna Moncrieff, whose groundbreaking work has challenged one of the biggest myths in modern mental health. Together, we explore where the chemical imbalance theory came from, why it was so heavily promoted, and what antidepressants are really doing to our brains.We also look at why so many of us still buy into this idea, the role of the placebo effect, and what it means for anyone currently taking or considering antidepressants.This is an empowering, myth-busting conversation that will help you make more informed choices about your mental health.Try Bettervits for yourself, head on over to bettervits.co.uk and get 15% off your 1st order with my code PANDORA15.Find Joanna:Website: https://joannamoncrieff.com/Stay Connected with Hurt to Healing:Instagram: instagram.com/hurttohealingpodTikTok: tiktok.com/@hurttohealingpodLinkedIn: linkedin.com/company/hurt-to-healingSubstack: substack.com/@hurttohealingWebsite: hurttohealing.co.uk Hosted on Acast.

Persistent grief symptoms nearly doubled the risk of death within 10 years, showing that unresolved grief has serious long-term health effects People with high levels of grief were far more likely to use antidepressants, sedatives, and anxiety medications for years after their loss Frequent doctor visits remained elevated for up to seven years in those experiencing unrelenting grief, highlighting the strain it places on both mind and body Long-lasting grief keeps stress hormones high, weakens your immune system, disrupts sleep, and increases your risk of chronic disease Taking steps like honoring your unique grieving process, supporting your body with sleep, healthy diet, and exercise, and using techniques like the Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) helps you move through grief and protect your long-term health
In this episode, Coach Justin, Coach Amanda, and her husband Anthony discuss Anthony's journey with antidepressants and the process of coming off those medications. They also cover getting your hormones checked and the link between depression and low hormones, and the difference that testosterone replacement therapy can make. They explore the initial reasons for starting antidepressants, the realization of dependency, and the challenges faced when transitioning off these medications. They discuss the emotional turmoil that often accompanies detox, the numbing effects of SSRIs on life experiences, and the long term effects and addictive nature that Doctors don't usually warn people about. They also touch on the role of nutrition, exercise, and journaling in the withdrawal process, and what to expect from a physical and emotional perspective. They even dive into some simple protocols for coming off these types of medications and go in depth on Anthony's personal experience. Anthony is just one example of many people who are given an anti-depressant by a Doctor that they trust, without ever running a proper hormone panel, suggesting lifestyle interventions, or warning them of the addictive nature. This is just a small piece of a much larger discussion, but one that needs to be talked about more. Anti-depressants don't have to be for life, and can be worked off of safely with the proper guidance.
A reanalysis of a study found that fluoxetine alone showed no measurable benefit over placebo in treating adolescent depression after 12 weeks Researchers uncovered 11 additional suicide-related events that were hidden or misclassified, bringing the total to 21 serious incidents Statistical tactics and selective reporting made fluoxetine appear safer and more effective than it really was in clinical trials A different reanalysis mentioned that adverse events and many side effects were minimized or excluded from the original reports Improving gut health, getting regular exercise, undergoing therapy, and optimizing vitamin D are viable approaches for treating depression
Can depression be healed without antidepressants? Josh Trent welcomes Pixie Acia, Spiritual Wellness Coach, to the Wellness + Wisdom Podcast, episode 771, to share how nutraceuticals helped her transition off 15 years of antidepressants, why trauma shows up in our bodies until we face it, and how breathwork, community, and cycle-breaking practices can unlock healing far beyond pharmaceuticals. Nutraceuticals from Altrient (LivOn Labs) In order to repair the structural damage caused by a continual barrage of toxic substances and pathogens, your body requires a constant supply of phospholipids. Whilst humans can synthesise some phospholipid compounds, others are sourced from food. Phospholipids that are obtained from the diet are called ‘essential phospholipids'. The liposomes used in Altrient products are made from essential phospholipids that include a high percentage of Phosphatidylcholine (PC). These liposomes not only provide optimum protection and transport, but they also satisfy the body's need for PC, omega-6 fatty acids, and choline. Now Altrient has taken the power of LET out of the laboratory and put it into your hands. It's why Altrient products are so effective. High-performance nutrients delivering enhanced absorption! Try it for yourself In This Episode, Pixie Acia Uncovers: [01:10] Nutraceuticals: Natural + More Efficient than Anti-Depressants The role of nutraceuticals in treating depression. Why Pixie spent 15 years on depression medications. How liposomal applications help us absorb 80-90% of nutrients from a supplement. Why nutraceuticals provide clarity and allow us to feel our emotions more than antidepressants. How nutraceuticals affect both the brain and the gut. Why depression is a combination of trauma and imbalances in the brain. We can't heal from depression with just one practice. Resources: Pixie Acia LivOn Labs (Altrient) [07:30] Does a Vegan Diet Cause More Harm than Good? How a vegan diet ruined Pixie's health. Why she attached her identity to being vegan and stopped listening to her body. How she switched to a carnivore diet to feel better. Resources: The Effects of Vegan Diet on Fetus and Maternal Health [12:50] The Gift in Traumatic Experiences Why we care about what other people think about us based on evolution. How trauma took Pixie's innocence and childhood. Why tattooing her body was a trauma response. How she channelled her trauma to help others. Why Pixie learned to detach from her body when she was abused. How forgiveness can help us let go. [19:10] Healed People Heal People How healed people heal other people. Why Pixie believes she went through her trauma for a reason. How her traumatic experience has helped her help others move through their trauma. [22:30] The Healing Power of Breathwork How breathwork helps us connect with our body. Why breathwork allowed Pixie to free herself from her traumatic sexual past. How breathwork can open us to new dimensions. Why we can get downloads from breathwork sessions. What led her to change her name from Amber to Pixie. [29:30] Why Do You Chase Dopamine? How the body is always looking for safety. Why Pixie attracted the same type of men until she healed her wounds. How chasing dopamine is a trauma response. Why Pixie created challenges to keep people accountable for their growth and getting healthy dopamine. It takes 62 days to create a new habit. [37:10] Becoming A Cycle Breaker Why Pixie found it hard to dance because of her sexual trauma. How expressing her sexuality made her feel like she would be taken advantage of. What pushed her to break the cycle. Resources: Michael Edward Johnson's Latch Theory The Body Keeps The Score by Bessel van der Kolk [43:50] The Value of Community Why community is the new currency. How human connection will become more valuable. What it means to be a safe container for others. How people come up against their projections and beliefs when they go to a retreat. Why when you let people see us, we become more lovable. [49:35] The Catalyst for Change What happened and why it happened doesn't truly matter. Why what we don't express shows up as depression or disease. How doing our own healing helps other people heal. Leave Wellness + Wisdom a Review on Apple Podcasts All Resources From This Episode Pixie Acia LivOn Labs (Altrient) The Effects of Vegan Diet on Fetus and Maternal Health Michael Edward Johnson's Latch Theory The Body Keeps The Score by Bessel van der Kolk Power Quotes From Pixie Acia "What is repressed will eventually get expressed as depression or disease." — Pixie Acia "If you suffer from depression, you need nutraceuticals. They help not just build the foundational blocks in the brain, but also in the gut, affecting the serotonin and giving you the essential support that it needs to not be depressed." — Pixie Acia "Your nervous system is looking for familiar situations to identify whether it's safe or not. When we're used to repressing it, we aren't listening to the body to know if we're safe or not. And then we'll end up finding ourselves in similar situations again." — Pixie Acia
Tune in to episode 227 of Joy Found Here, where Jacques Martiquet—better known as The Party Scientist—shares how joy and human connection can transform our lives. From flash mobs to sober raves, he explores joy as a biological state, the role of community as an amplifier, and why joy may be the most underrated natural antidepressant we have.Jacques wasn't always the life of the sober party—he began as a festival medic, watching firsthand how alcohol and drugs derailed so many experiences. That pushed him to try something different: he started throwing sober raves where people could dance, connect, and feel alive without substances. Those events went viral and “The Party Scientist” was born. Since then, Jacques has built JoyCamp into a six-figure event brand, hosted corporate openings and adult summer camps, and led communities around the world in rediscovering authentic joy. His mission is simple but radical: design gatherings where phones are down, guards are lowered, and people leave feeling more connected to themselves and others.In this episode, Jacques unpacks the myths of escapism, reflects on the impact of FOMO and perfectionism, and highlights why authentic connection is essential to well-being. From daily habits to co-living experiments, he reminds us: joy isn't something we wait for—it's something we train, practice, and share.In This Episode, You Will Learn:How Jacques went from pharmacologist to The Party Scientist (3:03)Why joy is a biological state—and the habits that create it (6:43)The irony of drugs at festivals and how sober raves flip the script (10:44)Escapism, FOMO, and why joy is an inside job (14:11)The three pathways to joy: mindset, biology, environment (16:30)How Joy Bootcamp builds routines for lasting joy (20:06)Why community accelerates joy more than going it alone (23:30)The power of co-living and digital detox at Joy Mansion (28:58)How structure and play help overcome perfectionism and fear (36:55)What's next for Jacques and the future of Joy Bootcamp (40:57)Connect with Jacques Martiquet:WebsiteFacebookLinkedInInstagramLet's Connect:WebsiteInstagram Hosted on Acast.

Joanna Moncrieff is a British psychiatrist and academic. She is Professor of Critical and Social Psychiatry at University College London and a member of the Critical Psychiatry Network. She is the author of The Myth of the Chemical Cure and The Bitterest Pills, which are considered central texts in the critical psychiatry movement. Moncrieff is critical of mainstream psychiatry's medical model of mental illness. Professor Moncrief's 2022 paper in molecular psychiatry didn't just make waves, it created a tsunami. Leading a systemic review of five decades of research, she and her team definitively demonstrated what no one had dared to state so clearly that there's no convincing evidence that depression is caused by a serotonin imbalance or any chemical imbalance at all. This paper became one of the most widely read scientific papers in modern history, ranking in the top 5 % of all research ever tracked. The world took notice because the world needed to know. Her groundbreaking new book, Chemically Imbalanced, The Making and Unmaking of the Serotonin Myth, meticulously documents how an entire medical narrative was constructed without scientific foundation marketed to billions and defended by institutions that should know better.https://joannamoncrieff.com/2022 paper in molecular psychiatry on Serotonin Chemically Imbalanced: The Making and Unmaking of the Serotonin Myth Dr. Roger McFillin / Radically Genuine WebsiteYouTube @RadicallyGenuineDr. Roger McFillin (@DrMcFillin) / XSubstack | Radically Genuine | Dr. Roger McFillinInstagram @radicallygenuineContact Radically GenuineConscious Clinician CollectivePLEASE SUPPORT OUR PARTNERS15% Off Pure Spectrum CBD (Code: RadicallyGenuine)10% off Lovetuner click here
UK group Suede (known to some in America as The London Suede) just released their 10th album, Antidepressants, which has them adding dark post-punk to their signature "beautiful trash" glammy sound. It's the latest release in of the best second acts in recent memory. We talked to bassist Mat Osman about Suede's longevity, the care they've put into every record, especially since reforming in 2010, the album's post-punk sound and his own goth roots. We also discuss Matt's second career as an author and his brother Richard who is behind the very popular The Thursday Murder Club book series. Plus: five records he thinks everyone should own, reunion records, the chances Suede might tour America again, and more.

John Ioannidis is a Stanford professor, a physician, and one of the most eminent scholars in the world in the field of evidence-based medicine. Ioannidis has spent his career exposing the weak foundations of much of modern medicine. His 2005 paper, "Why Most Published Research Findings Are False," became the most-viewed article in the history of PLOS Medicine and helped spark a global reckoning with reproducibility. He has since warned about how evidence-based medicine can be hijackedby industry influence, how biased reward systems in academia favor quantity over quality, and how even systematic reviews can recycle flawed data. His critiques extend to psychiatry, where pharma-funded trials often tilt toward positive results, guidelines are shaped by insiders, and neuroscience findings are more fragile than they appear. He is a tenured professor at Stanford and has an extensive background in medicine, epidemiology, population health, and data sciences. As much as he is a champion of good science, Ioannidis is also a lover of the arts and humanities. He's a novelist, teaches poetry, loves operas, and has written libretti for four operas himself. In this interview, he discusses the extensive bias that pervades scientific research, the problematic practices and pressures that enable flawed science, and the significant issues with antidepressant research. At the same time, he reminds us why good science is a gift to humanity and something we must protect for our well-being and dignity. *** Thank you for being with us to listen to the podcast and read our articles this year.

Whether you're in the depths of anxiety, grieving a loss, or simply craving a gentler way to heal, Gabby's wisdom offers both compassion and practical next steps.How do you combine spiritual tools and evidence-based therapy to heal trauma without shame, guilt, or overwhelm?Healing isn't about being “fixed.” It's about creating safety, awareness, and compassion so you can finally live in peace.(02:06) Naming the Why Behind PatternsSpirituality and sobriety can plant seeds, but trauma will still surface in anxiety, addiction, or control.Memory of trauma can return much later in life; healing doesn't require forcing recall.Recognizing “what happened to me” instead of “what's wrong with me” reframes the path forward.(05:09) EMDR, DemystifiedBilateral stimulation (eye movement, tapping, sounds) opens a safe “window of tolerance.”Starting with a present trigger often links back to earlier wounds.Small issues may shift quickly; deeper trauma requires more time but reduces triggers steadily.(09:02) Postpartum Depression: When Meditation Isn't EnoughSigns include panic attacks, insomnia, and suicidal thoughts. This is biochemical, not a personal failing.Antidepressants can create a baseline of safety so therapy becomes effective.Meds are not a shortcut but a foundation; Gabby paired them with three therapy sessions a week.(14:37) Grief Without GuiltApproach grief in doses: feel some, then step back before re-engaging.Notice when numbing shows up; honor it as a protective strategy.Relief through TV, rest, or joy is part of healthy grieving, not a failure.(18:51) Getting Unstuck: The 3-Question InventoryAfter each trigger, ask: 1) What triggered me? 2) What do I feel? 3) How do I run from it?Recognize patterns as protective, not personality flaws.Writing it down builds compassion and creates room for change.(20:30) Reparenting Yourself with the 4 S'sSafe: Breathwork, sleep, and grounding to calm your nervous system.Seen: Validate your wins and speak to yourself with compassion.Soothed: Make therapy and support part of your routine.Secure: Consistency builds an inner foundation of trust and resilience.(24:54) Psychedelic-Assisted Therapy: Proceed with CareShould only be done with trained clinicians under clinical guidelines.Medication conflicts exist; research protocols carefully.Curiosity is valid, but sobriety and safety must guide decisions.(28:57) Resources & Next...
As the Downton Abbey franchise comes to an end after fifteen years, with the cinema release of Downton Abbey: The Grand Finale this Friday, we discuss the enduring appeal of the upstairs-downstairs class-based period drama with the chatelaine of the 'real Downton', Highclere Castle, the Countess of Carnarvon, and with Caroline Frost of The Radio Times. Suede frontman Brett Anderson talks to us about the 21st century anxieties which have informed the renowned indie-rock band's new album, Antidepressants. Two medical professionals who've turned a razor-sharp scalpel to writing informed by their careers in the NHS: Adam Kay, the junior doctor-turned writer of the bestselling memoir This Is Going to Hurt, discusses writing his debut novel, A Particularly Nasty Case, a murder-mystery set in the corridors of a busy hospital. And nurse and playwright Uma Nada-Rajah talks about her tragicomic production Black Hole Sign which is set in an A+E department and which opens in Scotland this weekend.Plus we hear about a new initiative - launched today - which aims to develop filmmaking skills in children as young as 3 years old. Presenter: Kirsty Wark Producer: Mark Crossan
"I got the writing bug very early," says Suede's iconic frontman Brett Anderson. "I was fascinated by the simplicity of what was in front of me: You have six strings, and a limited number of notes, and 26 letters in the alphabet, and all of these things simultaneously mock you and inspire you. And it became a sort of an addiction for me quite early on, trying to search for that song, trying to reach for those chords, trying to write that album, and it still is. I still love it.”In the lead up to Suede's excellent new album, Antidepressants, which the Guardian has hailed as a “late career triumph,” I had the pleasure of connecting over Zoom with Anderson for a conversation about his creative evolution. One of my favorite things about our interview was hearing him describe his passion for the process of writing and the fact that, even though it can be torturous, it's ultimately so satisfying. He said that he resonates with the famous Dorothy Parker quote, “I hate writing, but I love having written.” And so we talked about writing throughout Anderson's life: as a kid, when he first connected with his urge to put pen to paper and evoke notes from an instrument, the early days of Suede and moments when he first knew he had hit on something so powerful, and writing of the new album.

Why vaccines have become so polarizing; Florida to remove all vaccine mandates; A modest proposal for revised Covid vaccine guidelines has the CDC in an uproar; Gastroparesis—what causes it and how to alleviate it; options for treatment of tricuspid regurgitation; New tech enables continuous home testing of levels of stress hormone; The mystery of a dog's sudden death.
On Joe Untamed today, we dive headlong into truths the establishment wants buried. From covering the safety of prescription drugs to the CDC looking to sabotage RFK, confronting the battle for election integrity and systemic corruption head-on. With Tina Peters' unjust imprisonment still sending shockwaves nationwide, we probe the chilling question: what happens when truth-tellers are branded political prisoners, and who's orchestrating this assault on freedom? We welcome Kim Witczak, a relentless drug safety advocate whose personal loss fueled a two-decade mission to expose Big Pharma's dangerous practices. Her work has driven critical Black Box warnings, challenged FDA complacency, and revealed how profit-driven systems sideline patient safety. Kim's revelations about antidepressants, medical ethics, and regulatory failures are a must-hear for anyone who trusts their health to the system—a conversation that will open your eyes and demand action. Next we have Dr. Murray Sabrin, a fearless economist and champion of free markets, returns to unpack what the mainstream ignores: how the Federal Reserve's reckless policies, tariffs, and world trade are colliding together. With clarity and conviction, Dr. Sabrin maps out the roots of this crisis and the urgent reforms needed to reclaim financial liberty. This episode is a clarion call for patriots, families, and truth-seekers—tune in to seize the narrative and fight.
Should we be doing more to save questionable teeth? What if you could buy more time — without compromising patient care? Dr. Omar Ikram returns for a powerful episode diving into the real-world decision-making between endodontics and implants. Together with Jaz, they explore tough scenarios — like teeth with nasty cracks or minimal remaining structure — and ask the critical question: when is it truly time to extract? They break down concepts like retained roots, root burial, amputation, and a new term Jaz introduces — palliative endodontics. Because sometimes the best outcome isn't immediate replacement, but smart, strategic delay. https://youtu.be/5msP908JvuI Watch PDP238 on Youtube Protrusive Dental Pearl: When discussing treatment longevity with older patients, tailor your language to be more relatable. Instead of saying, “I plan my dentistry to age 100,” say, “I want this to last well into your eighties or nineties.” This makes the conversation more personal and realistic, helping patients better connect with the concept of long-term outcomes. Key Takeaways Understanding the limitations of implants compared to natural teeth is vital. Medical history significantly impacts dental treatment decisions. Managing patient expectations is crucial for satisfaction. Palliative endodontics can provide temporary relief and management. Reading and interpreting CBCT scans requires skill and experience. If it's not that five millimeter defect, it's up to you. The second molar is a good one because often second molars can't be replaced with an implant. Retaining roots is definitely a good way to go. You need to risk assess the patient before extraction. Palliative endo is technically always an option. Success in endo can be often difficult to achieve. Asymptomatic and functional is a good criteria. If endo is on the table, it's feasible.

Visit the Sex With Emily Website: https://sexwithemily.com/ In this powerful episode of Sex with Emily, Dr. Emily tackles one of the biggest barriers to great sex: fear. From fear of rejection to body image anxieties, this episode explores how our sexual fears hold us back and provides practical strategies for overcoming them. Dr. Emily opens with the fundamental truth that fear is often "false evidence appearing real" - we create rules around what we're afraid of and then live by them, preventing ourselves from having the sex we truly want and deserve. Throughout the episode, Dr. Emily addresses common sexual fears from farting during sex to penis size anxieties to performance worries, emphasizing that we're all perfectionists when it comes to sex despite reality being much messier and more human. The episode concludes with the empowering message that facing our fears is the path to becoming our own best sexual advocate. When we ask for what we want authentically, we either get our needs met or gain valuable information about compatibility, because we all deserve pleasure and shouldn't put ourselves last in our own sexual lives.

When Dr. Roger McFillin first stepped into a children's psychiatric hospital, he was shocked by what he witnessed—kids as young as five being medicated into compliance, their trauma overlooked, and their humanity reduced to labels and prescriptions. That moment set him on a decades-long journey to expose the truth about America's mental health system.In this conversation, Dr. McFillin joins Drs. May and Tim Hindmarsh to challenge some of the deepest assumptions in psychiatry—from the “chemical imbalance” myth to the widespread drugging of normal emotional responses like grief, fear, and anxiety. He shares gripping stories from his work with traumatized children, teens in the juvenile justice system, and adults on multiple psychiatric drugs, raising hard questions about informed consent, resilience, and what true healing looks like.This isn't just an interview—it's a raw, honest look at how our culture medicalizes suffering, why that's dangerous, and how reclaiming struggle and resilience may be the real path forward. Whether you're a physician, a patient, or simply someone searching for truth, this episode will stay with you.Rapid Fire TakeawaysWhy the “chemical imbalance” theory never held up to scienceHow normal human suffering became pathologized as “disorder”Why informed consent is missing in psychiatric prescribingThe difference between short-term crisis meds vs. long-term harmHow resilience, not over-medicalization, is the real path to healingAbout the GuestDr. Roger McFillin, PsyDClinical psychologist, writer, and host of The Radically Genuine Podcast.

What happens when you stop numbing and finally face what's underneath? Hey, Heal Squad! In this deeply honest episode, Maria sits down with The Challenge star turned certified meditation coach, singer, and author Tori Deal to unpack her journey of coming off antidepressants, quitting alcohol, and finding herself again. Tori shares what it's been like to be six months med-free, the tools that supported her through the transition, and how her Ayahuasca journey helped her release childhood trauma and reconnect with her inner truth. Together, she and Maria dive into the emotional toll of reality TV, the power of presence, and the spiritual practices that helped her finally feel whole. Whether you're exploring your own healing, questioning your relationship with medication, or looking for a reset, this episode is for you. HEALERS & HEAL-LINERS: Coming off antidepressants is a layered journey: Tori shares how she weaned off medication after a decade, found stability without numbing, and learned to hold space for discomfort without fear. Healing doesn't always look like progress: Removing alcohol, sitting in stillness, and feeling emotions fully brought up grief, but it also unlocked clarity, creativity, and real self-trust. Plant medicine isn't a cure, it's a mirror: Tori's Ayahuasca journey revealed the pain she hadn't processed, but also the power of perspective, compassion, and choosing a new story for her life.

A presidential executive order early this year directed federal departments and agencies to address the issue of chronic disease in the United States, including “the prevalence of and threat posed by the prescription of selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs),” with a particular focus on youth. In this podcast, Dr. Jeffrey R. Strawn discusses his editorial, “Fact Versus Fear: Antidepressants in Children and Adolescents,” which is published in the September-October 2025 issue of the Journal of Clinical Psychopharmacology. In the editorial, Dr. Strawn and his coauthor, Dr. John T. Walkup, write that the framing of the issue in the executive order risks reinforcing stigma and diminishing trust in evidence-based pediatric mental health care. The editorial summarizes the evidence supporting the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of SSRIs in youth and contextualizes these findings within a discussion of the risk of withholding potentially effective treatments due to stigma and misinformation. The editorial is published in the September-October 2025 issue of the Journal of Clinical Psychopharmacology. doi: 10.1097/JCP.0000000000002054
