Send us a textIn this episode, Dr. Eeks talks with Joel Stanley, entrepreneur and biotech founder, about the long and often misunderstood road from plant based therapies to FDA approved medicines.Joel shares the personal story behind building Charlotte's Web, the company named after a young girl whose experience with severe epilepsy helped spark a global conversation about medical cannabis. He reflects on what it was like to grow a family run operation into a major force that reshaped public perception, while navigating science, regulation, and skepticism.The conversation then turns to Joel's current work at Ajna BioSciences, where he is pursuing FDA approval for botanical drugs, including a botanical-based drug being studied for autism, with trials to be conducted in 2 countries. Joel explains where this research currently sits in the regulatory process and why he has chosen the traditional drug approval route rather than supplements or wellness markets.We also dig into the key differences between botanical drug development and conventional pharmaceutical development, from standardization challenges to clinical trial design, and why plant based medicines are often held to a different and sometimes contradictory standard.Finally, Joel discusses his research into psychedelics, including psilocybin for depression, and why he believes these compounds represent more than a passing trend. This episode is a grounded look at science, policy, and the tension between nature and modern medicine.Work with me?

Why Money, Power, and Women Didn't Fix the Pain with Michael Lynch | The Hopeaholics PodcastIn this raw and powerful episode of the Hopeaholics Podcast, Michael Lynch sits down to share an unfiltered story of survival, addiction, crime, success, and redemption. From growing up in foster care and running the streets, to building a viral underground fight empire funded by prison hustles, Michael opens up about the rise that came with money, fame, and excess—and the quiet collapse that followed through alcoholism, isolation, and the brink of suicide. He speaks candidly about manipulation, power, broken relationships, and how alcohol nearly destroyed everything drugs never could. The conversation takes a dramatic turn as Michael recounts being raided just days after deciding to end his life, leading to jail, a fight for freedom, and an unexpected introduction to recovery that ultimately saved him. This episode dives deep into the psychology of addiction, the illusion of success, prison life, spiritual awakening, and what real transformation looks like after hitting bottom. It's an intense, honest, and inspiring story about losing everything, surrendering control, and finding purpose in helping others find their way out.#thehopeaholics  #redemption #recovery #AlcoholAddiction #AddictionRecovery #wedorecover #SobrietyJourney #MyStory #Hope #wedorecover #treatmentcenter #natalieevamarieJoin our patreon to get access to an EXTRA EPISODE every week of ‘Off the Record', exclusive content, a thriving recovery community, and opportunities to be featured on the podcast. https://patreon.com/TheHopeaholics Go to www.Wolfpak.com today and support our sponsors.

Joe Pags delivers a high-energy rapid-fire news hour packed with facts, accountability, and America-first clarity. The new Word of the Day — “DOPE” — sets the tone as Pags breaks down who truly earns it, including the shocking case of a man allegedly posing as an FBI agent to get Luigi Mangione out of jail. He tackles Iran's threats against U.S. bases and carriers after Trump's warning, explaining why strength doesn't mean rushing into war, and calls out a stunning moment where Sen. Mark Warner appears to say the quiet part out loud — raising the obvious question of why ICE would ever be near voting locations when only citizens vote. Pags also highlights Trump's upcoming federal initiative to combat drug addiction, praising a president focused on protecting American lives and health. The hour closes with an explosive Part Two featuring former Green Beret Eric Schwalm, whose real-world insurgency experience delivers a sobering, must-hear breakdown of what's actually happening behind the headlines.

On this podcast episode, I discuss important practice pearls and important test prep information about statins. Statins are cornerstone agents for ASCVD risk reduction, so test questions often focus on indication, intensity, and monitoring. Health care professionals should quickly identify statin intensity: high-intensity therapy (atorvastatin 40–80 mg, rosuvastatin 20–40 mg) lowers LDL by ~50% and is indicated for patients with clinical ASCVD, LDL ≥190 mg/dL, or high-risk diabetes patients age 40–75. Moderate-intensity statins (e.g., atorvastatin 10–20 mg, simvastatin 20–40 mg) are commonly tested for primary prevention. Statin-associated muscle symptoms range from myalgias (most common, normal CK) to rare but serious rhabdomyolysis (marked CK elevation and AKI). Risk factors include high doses, advanced age, hypothyroidism, drug interactions, and renal impairment. If muscle symptoms occur, stopping the statin, ruling out secondary causes (like hypothyroidism), and rechallenging with a lower dose or different statin is often the correct clinical approach. Drug interactions and statin selection frequently separate good from great test-takers. Lipophilic statins (simvastatin, atorvastatin, lovastatin) are more prone to muscle effects and CYP3A4 interactions, while hydrophilic statins (pravastatin, rosuvastatin) are preferred in patients with prior intolerance or complex drug regimens. Grapefruit juice, strong CYP3A4 inhibitors, and certain calcium channel blockers raise simvastatin levels—often prompting dose limits or avoidance on exams. If LDL goals aren’t met, adding ezetimibe or a PCSK9 inhibitor is the next evidence-based step. Be sure to check out our free Top 200 study guide – a 31 page PDF that is yours for FREE!

Canada's healthcare system is already failing — and it's about to get worse.In this short, I explain what a potential paramedic strike in British Columbia really means for public safety, 911 response times, and patient care. Based on my lived experience as a former army medic, ex-paramedic, and first responder, I break down why paramedics in BC are not considered an essential service, why negotiations with the province broke down, and why a province-wide strike would cost lives.This isn't a political rant. It's a grounded, lived-experience perspective on Canada's healthcare crisis, paramedic burnout, first responder mental health, and how government policy failures are putting both paramedics and the public at risk.I also connect this to the fallout from British Columbia's drug decriminalization program, the rising overdose crisis, and the impossible conditions paramedics are working under on the front lines.Topics covered:• BC paramedic strike• Canada healthcare crisis• Paramedic burnout• First responder mental health• 911 response times• Public safety• Drug decriminalization in BC• Overdose crisis• Health policy failure• Veteran and paramedic perspectiveIf you're looking for honest conversations about trauma, recovery, modern culture, and the quiet parts nobody says out loud, subscribe for more from Unwritten Chapters.Unwritten Chapters with Matthew Heneghan is a raw, solo channel about life after trauma, modern culture, and the quiet parts nobody says out loud.Hosted by a veteran, former army medic, ex-paramedic, and nonfiction author, the channel explores PTSD, addiction recovery, sobriety, grief, burnout, and identity — not as inspirational slogans, but as lived reality.Alongside the recovery lens, Unwritten Chapters dissects modern culture, politics, media narratives, nostalgia, and social decay through a grounded, lived-experience perspective.There are also behind-the-scenes conversations about writing, creativity, addiction and art, discipline, publishing, and what it's actually like to build a life and career after rock bottom.This isn't a polished self-help channel. It's dark humour, blunt honesty, cultural commentary, and real mental health talk for people who are empathetic but exhausted — veterans, first responders, nurses, partners of medics, folks in or around recovery, and anyone trauma-literate and allergic to bullshit.If you're searching for PTSD stories, addiction recovery, veteran mental health, first responder burnout, cultural commentary, reaction videos with lived experience, or honest conversations about writing and creativity — you're in the right place.New videos weekly.Subscribe if you want company in the chaos, not clichés about positive vibes only.

British Columbia's drug decriminalization pilot program will end on January 31st. The controversial program was introduced in 2023, but was criticized by advocates and political opponents alike. Parts of the policy had already been rolled back as public pressure mounted. The pilot's cancellation was met with disappointment, especially from First Nations leaders, over the lack of consultation. What does the ending of this policy signal about the B.C. government's approach to the toxic drug crisis? And what does it mean for Canadians living with addictions?Andrea Woo, the Globe's staff reporter covering health and drug policy, gives us a retrospective on what exactly B.C.'s pilot was trying to fix, whether that worked, and what comes next as decriminalization ends in the province.Questions?

Disease accelerates years in a month. Cancer cells reveal which patients might be most impacted by metastasis - a diagnosis invisible on Earth. Single crystals heal themselves through mechanisms we can't explain. These aren't projections. They're validated results from 2022-2025 that made 40-year NASA veterans say they'd never seen anything like it.The economics flipped. Merck flew Keytruda 30 days, discovered a crystal form missed in a decade of labs - $20B/year by 2030, exceeding SpaceX's entire revenue. The thesis: Two paths to space affordability: cut launch costs 10x AND multiply payload value 1,000x. Do what Earth cannot do at any price.Paradigm Shifts:

"The United States does not have a national cancer registry. We have a bunch of state registries. Some of those registries do collaborate and share information, but the issue is the registries that do exist typically do not report cancer by occupation. So, we cannot get our arms around the potential work-relatedness of the health outcome given the current way the state registries collect information. What we're trying to set up, is a way to make what is currently an invisible risk, visible," ONS member Melissa McDiarmid, MD, MPH, DABT, professor of medicine and epidemiology and public health director of the division of occupational and environmental medicine at the University of Maryland School of Medicine in Baltimore, told Jaime Weimer, MSN, RN, AGCNS-BS, AOCNS®, manager of oncology nursing practice at ONS, during a conversation about the University of Maryland School of Medicine Hazardous Drug Safety Center Exposure Registry.

Highlights From This Episode "We thought that in order to answer some of the unclear questions about health risk, we would set up an exposure registry, in this case, for oncology personnel who handle the drugs. This would then create a cohort that we could ask questions to. For example, we could try to characterize whether there is a cancer excess in this group. Or characterize the reproductive abnormalities in excess that people are experiencing." TS 6:21 "It's sort of counterintuitive that the healthcare industry, whose mission itself is care of the sick, is a high-hazard industry. We typically think about the risk as being from infectious diseases, and certainly we've all lived in our practice lifetime through some examples of that. Even before COVID-19, some of us were doing preparation for Ebola and that sort of thing. So, we're kind of used to that. But the hazards that you kind of grew up with, we've routinized or normalized handling group one, human carcinogens, which a number of these drugs are—it's just something we do every day. Well, it is, but we have to do it with respect and with care every day. And I think sometimes in that routineness of it, we have sort of lost sight of the vigilance that we need to maintain." TS 11:19 "It's very easy in the life cycle of a drug in an organization to do something that doesn't just impact you, but unknowingly, you've contaminated a surface for somebody who comes behind you. Who maybe doesn't have plastic protective equipment on because something that got contaminated shouldn't have been contaminated in the first place. If we could all be thinking of it as more of a team sport, especially in terms of safe handling, that our disposition and drug handling affects not just us and our health, but those of our colleagues." TS 24:47 "For the job history pieces, we ask what year you started, what year you stopped, and we ask about estimations of handling. So we'll be able to come up with either a duration or some kind of metric for the intensity and duration of your handling history, which will then permit us to sort the population who completed the survey into sort of low, medium, high. And we'll see whether the health outcomes that are being reported are influenced by that drug handling history." TS 27:45 "The idea that we aren't exposed to the same therapeutic dose we give to our patients is absolutely true. However, the dosing schedule to them versus us is very different, and we are exposed frequently, if not daily, to very small concentrations. They don't reach a cytotoxic dose necessarily, but we do know from a lot of studies that either ourselves or our colleagues are taking up drug from contaminated work environments. And you've probably seen there is an awful lot of intermediate evidence looking at genotoxic insult in pharmacists and nurses who handle the drugs. So clearly we're showing uptake and we're showing that there are biologically plausible, concerning measures that are taking place in us. So, I think that we need to come back and circle around the idea that we need to have deep respect for the toxicity of these agents." TS 35:03

TEXT US A COMMENT!In this episode, we expose certainty as a drug that sedates responsibility and delays obedience. We break down the “loophole language” men use to stall their calling, why our culture is addicted to guarantees, and what uncertainty actually does to forge courage, leadership, and faith.You'll walk away with a tactical certainty detox: a loophole audit, a 24-hour decision rule, and a simple next-step execution plan to stop negotiating with your future and start moving like a man.WHY CERTAINTY IS DANGEROUS (What it costs you)Certainty doesn't just delay decisions. It delays destiny.It delays obedience. It kills momentum. It rots leadership. It trains cowardice. It steals years. 7 Loophole Phrases (and what they really mean)“I'm praying about it.”Translation: “I'm stalling and calling it spiritual.”“I'm waiting for the right timing.”Translation: “I want conditions to remove the cost.”“I need to think about it more.”Translation: “I'm hoping the pressure goes away.”“I just need more information.”Translation: “I don't want to be responsible if it fails.”“I don't know what to do.”Translation: “I do know. I just don't want to do it.”“I'm not ready.”Translation: “I'm afraid of exposure and discomfort.”“What if it doesn't work?”Translation: “I'd rather stay stuck than risk loss.”WHY WE NEED UNCERTAINTY (Uncertainty is not the enemy)Faith. You learn trust without controlling the outcome.Courage. You move with fear present, not fear absent.Ownership. You stop blaming “lack of clarity” and start taking responsibility.Adaptation. You learn to correct mid-stride instead of freezing.Maturity. You stop needing guarantees and start needing conviction.You don't get a future without uncertainty. You get a future by moving through it.SOTD: Ecclesiastes 11:4 (ESV)“He who observes the wind will not sow, and he who regards the clouds will not reap.”MARCHING ORDERS: This week, kill one loophole sentence.Pick the area you've been “waiting to be sure,” and take the next step within 24 hours.Support the show TDMP SITE: https://dangerousmanpodcast.com/ Grab some DANGEROUS GEAR in our shop https://dangerousmanpodcast.com/shop/ Support the show for as little as $3 a month https://www.buzzsprout.com/2080275/supporters/new Follow us on X for more shenanigans https://twitter.com/TDMPodcast603 Follow us on Instagram for extra shenanigans https://www.instagram.com/thedangerousmanpodcast/ Connect with Matt Fortin & Rory Lawrence Email us at: thedangerousmanpodcast@gmail.com Remember men...

 In Episode 123 of DC EKG, Joe Grogan sits down with Jackson Hammond (Senior Policy Analyst, Paragon Health Institute) to unpack what the latest CMS National Health Expenditure (NHE) data says about where U.S. health care is headed. They break down the June 2025 NHE release, compare it to Jackson's earlier “Paragon Prognosis” analysis, and explain what changed, what didn't, and what it means for affordability, Medicare, Medicaid, and long-run fiscal pressure. They also connect the spending outlook to Jackson's paper, “How to Reform the CMS Innovation Center with a Choice and Competition Approach,” and debate whether CMMI is bending the cost curve or just adding bureaucracy without accountability. Jackson argues we should aim for health care so affordable you barely need insurance. Chapters / Timestamps  00:00 – Intro + welcome  00:55 – Jackson's background: how he got into health policy  03:39 – Focus areas: Medicare, hospitals, drug pricing, PBMs, 340B  05:14 – What the NHE report is showing  06:14 – $5.2T → $5.6T → $8.6T: why the trajectory matters  08:00 – Why health spending isn't really “optional”  10:11 – Where the money is going: payer mix + per-enrollee costs  12:23 – Medicaid costs, provider taxes, and state financing tactics  15:58 – Medicare spending pressure and fiscal risk  21:06 – Misconception: “coverage = care”  26:18 – Why provider payments keep rising (post-COVID demand + consolidation)  33:01 – Rural care, consolidation, and the REH / hub-and-spoke model  40:08 – Drug pricing: retrospective vs prospective MFN  49:20 – 2026 outlook + closing thanks In This Conversation  • NHE 2025: what the June 2025 data confirms about spending growth and the federal share.  • Rising prices, flat health: why prices climb while outcomes lag.  • Medicare and Medicaid: why they remain major budget drivers.  • Coverage vs access: why an insurance card doesn't guarantee care or better health.  • Hospitals and consolidation: what's driving higher payments and fewer choices.  • Rural vs urban: why patients bypass local hospitals and what a better model could look like.  • Drug pricing: what MFN approaches might mean for costs and innovation.  • 2026: what Jackson expects next and what reform could realistically look like. Key Takeaways  • NHE data points to continued, unsustainable spending growth.  • Medicare and Medicaid drive long-term budget pressure.  • Consolidation and payment incentives shape prices as much as utilization.  • CMMI reform hinges on accountability, choice, and competition.  • Smarter drug pricing policy should lower costs without undermining innovation. About Our Guest  Jackson Hammond is a Senior Policy Analyst at the Paragon Health Institute focused on health spending, CMS policy, and reforms centered on choice, competition, and patient-centered care. He authors Paragon's “Paragon Prognosis” analyses and wrote “How to Reform the CMS Innovation Center with a Choice and Competition Approach.”

An estimated one in six American adults today are taking some form of psychiatric medication. Yet it seems mental health outcomes across America have seen no significant improvement, despite the promises of the psychopharmacology revolution.David Cohen, professor of social welfare and associate dean at UCLA's Luskin School of Public Affairs, argues that many of the core assumptions of modern psychiatry are flawed.Cohen is known for his research on psychotropic drugs and coercive mental health treatment.In our interview, we also discuss why it is that America has one of the highest involuntary mental hospitalization rates in Western countries, and what it means that suicide rates are exceedingly high among people who were just released from a mental hospital.Views expressed in this video are opinions of the host and the guest, and do not necessarily reflect the views of The Epoch Times.

What Is Verbal Judo and Drug Interdiction for Police? A Maryland State Perspective. In modern policing, success is not measured solely by arrests or seizures, but by how safely and professionally officers navigate high-stress encounters. Two critical tools continue to shape effective law enforcement across the United States: verbal judo and drug interdiction for police. Both rely heavily on observation, communication, and disciplined decision-making rather than force. Check out Jerimy Tindall's Podcast appearance, and content shared for free on the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast website, also on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube and most major podcast platforms. The Power of Verbal Judo in Policing Verbal judo for police is a tactical communication system developed by Dr. George Thompson, widely recognized as the father of the discipline. First introduced in his groundbreaking 1983 book, verbal judo teaches officers how to use words strategically to de-escalate conflict and gain voluntary compliance. The Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast social media like their Facebook , Instagram , LinkedIn , Medium and other social media platforms. Rather than relying on aggressive commands, verbal judo emphasizes professionalism, empathy, and redirection. Officers are trained to ask purposeful questions, actively listen, and use respectful language to manage tense encounters. Supporting articles about this and much more from Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast in platforms like Medium , Blogspot and Linkedin . “Verbal judo isn't about winning an argument,” Dr. Thompson often explained. “It's about achieving a peaceful resolution while maintaining officer safety and dignity for everyone involved.” What Is Verbal Judo and Drug Interdiction for Police? A Maryland State Perspective. Although Dr. Thompson passed away in 2001 at the age of 69, his teachings remain deeply influential. In recent years, police instructors have renewed their focus on tactical communication, blending scientific analysis with realistic training scenarios to prepare officers for the psychological stress of the job. A Maryland State Police Example Jerimy Tindall, a retired Maryland State Police Sergeant, offers a powerful real-world example of verbal judo in action. Early in his career, Tindall encountered a suicidal individual, an incident that could have easily turned violent. Available for free on the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast website, also on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Youtube and most major Podcast networks. “I realized very quickly that force would only make things worse,” Tindall recalled. “What worked was slowing the situation down, listening, and choosing my words carefully.” Through calm dialogue and empathy, Tindall was able to de-escalate the situation without using force, a moment he credits directly to verbal judo training. He later retired early to focus on the growing demands placed on his family, but his lessons continue to resonate with officers today. Drug Interdiction for Police: More Than Traffic Stops In addition to his experience with tactical communication, Tindall also worked drug interdiction in Frederick, Maryland, a specialized area of policing focused on preventing illicit drugs from reaching their destination. What Is Verbal Judo and Drug Interdiction for Police? A Maryland State Perspective. Look for The Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast on social media like their Facebook , Instagram , LinkedIn , Medium and other social media platforms. Drug interdiction often takes place during traffic stops, including pretextual stops. These are lawful stops initiated for a traffic violation but used to investigate unrelated criminal activity. The U.S. Supreme Court affirmed this practice in Whren v. United States, ruling that an officer's motivation is irrelevant as long as probable cause exists for the traffic violation. “When you stop a vehicle, you're observing everything,” Tindall said. “Body language, tone of voice, how someone reacts when they see police lights, it all tells a story.” Officers trained in drug interdiction learn to recognize behavioral indicators of stress that may suggest criminal activity. Sudden braking, furtive movements, inconsistent answers, or visible nervousness can all contribute to developing probable cause during a lawful stop. Observation, Communication, and Strategy Drug interdiction is rooted in constant observation and communication. Every driver responds differently to stress, and officers are trained to watch and listen closely. Communication extends beyond spoken words to include posture, gestures, and tone. Available for free on their website and streaming on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Youtube and other podcast platforms. Beyond individual stops, agencies also rely on spatial optimization to deploy interdiction resources effectively. This strategic planning determines where officers, training, and testing equipment should be placed to disrupt drug trafficking networks. By identifying likely source routes and trafficking corridors, agencies can maximize impact without overstretching resources. What Is Verbal Judo and Drug Interdiction for Police? A Maryland State Perspective. Supporting Those Injured in the Line of Duty: Operation Mayday-13 After retiring, Jerimy Tindall and his family founded Operation Mayday-13, a nonprofit organization dedicated to helping first responders injured in the line of duty. The organization provides financial assistance to police officers, firefighters, and EMTs facing hardship after on-duty injuries. “Too many first responders fall through the cracks,” Tindall said. “Mayday-13 exists to make sure they're not forgotten.” The Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast episode is available for free on their website , Apple Podcasts , Spotify and most major podcast platforms. Operation Mayday-13 can be found on Facebook, where community members can learn more or reach out for assistance. First responders face risks ranging from vehicle accidents and violence to hazardous exposures and PTSD. While federal programs like the Public Safety Officers' Benefits (PSOB) and state workers' compensation systems exist, gaps in coverage remain, gaps nonprofits like Mayday-13 work to fill.

Big O talks Jon-Eric Sullivan and Fins 011926

This drug has been misunderstood for decades, and that confusion is costing people focus, learning speed, and cognitive performance. In this episode, you'll learn why nicotine itself is not the problem, why delivery method and dose change EVERYTHING, and how oral nicotine can be used strategically for biohacking brain optimization, neuroplasticity, and human performance in a healthy and safe way. Watch this episode on YouTube for the full video experience: https://www.youtube.com/@DaveAspreyBPR Host Dave Asprey sits down with David Renteln, Co Founder and CEO of LUCY Nicotine, a company pioneering science led alternatives for adult nicotine users who want better options. Before launching LUCY, David was also a co founder of Soylent, where he helped pioneer new approaches to functional nutrition and metabolism. Together, Dave and David break down how nicotine works in the brain through acetylcholine and dopamine, why speed of absorption determines addiction risk, and how nicotine affects learning, memory, motivation, and mood. The conversation also covers sleep optimization, mitochondrial signaling, tolerance, cycling strategies, and why modern regulation often slows innovation in functional medicine, anti aging science, and human performance.You'll Learn: • Why nicotine itself is not the same as smoking or vaping • How delivery speed changes addiction risk and brain response • How nicotine supports learning, focus, and neuroplasticity • Why acetylcholine matters for memory and brain optimization • How to think about dosing, cycling, and tolerance safely • How nicotine stacks with caffeine, nootropics, and Danger Coffee • The relationship between nicotine, sleep architecture, and REM • Why harm reduction matters for longevity and mitochondrial health • How nicotine fits into a Smarter Not Harder biohacking strategy Dave Asprey is a four time New York Times bestselling author, founder of Bulletproof Coffee, and the father of biohacking.
