Podcasts about epidemics

“The world is a very volatile place, with currently 110 conflicts globally, and yet healthcare staff in the hospitals, even here in London, are not prepared to be the only clinician who can help in a crisis or hostile setting,” says Dr. David Gough, CEO of the David Nott Foundation, which equips providers with the skills and confidence needed to function in war and other extraordinary situations. A former British Army doctor injured in Afghanistan, Gough brings lived experience as well as a background in tech to his current role at the Foundation, which itself is anchored in decades of field work amassed by its namesake, a renowned war surgeon. As Dr. Gough points out to host Lindsey Smith, the cause could be helped by augmenting medical school curricula, but in the meantime, the Foundation is filling the knowledge gap by using prosthetics, virtual reality simulations and cadavers to train a broad swath of health workers including surgeons, anesthetists, and obstetricians. Tune in to this important Raise the Line conversation as Dr. Gough reflects on the strengths and weaknesses of NGOs in doing this work, his plans to expand the Foundation's footprint in the US, and the gratifying feedback he's received from trainees now operating on the frontlines in Ukraine and elsewhere. Mentioned in this episode:David Nott Foundation If you like this podcast, please share it on your social channels.

As we all learned in 2020, getting ahead of the next major pandemic is a matter of global concern. For the Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations, or CEPI (cepi.net), it is their reason for existing. Joining me for this conversation are Valentina Bernasconi, Head of Laboratory Science for CEPI, and Marie-Eve Poupart, Lead Scientist In Charles River's Immunology department. Together we discuss CEPI's progress so far, how Charles River is contributing to the cause, and how we can plan for the unknown Disease X while simultaneously handling current outbreaks of deadly diseases like Ebola, Marburg, Nipah virus, Lassa Fever, and chikungunya.

I've been talking about the loneliness epidemic, which is growing in our culture. If you are struggling with loneliness, remember first it's part of being human. And yes, Christians are vulnerable to feelings of loneliness, and it is not necessarily a spiritual issue. Loneliness is a human condition common to everyone at some time in their life. However, if you deal with loneliness in the wrong way, it could lead you to form harmful and inappropriate relationships, to go places and do things you know are not right just to try to find companionship and stop those feelings of loneliness. We all need friends and a support system, but the wrong friends will do you far more harm than good. And keep this in mind: If you try to fill up that lonely place in your heart with people, before looking first to Jesus Christ, you are setting yourself up for further disappointment and it could simply make your loneliness worse rather than better. I had to learn this some years ago, when I had to make a choice to first seek the presence of Christ, to get to know him better, to allow his love to become more real and more powerful in my life, instead of trying to solve my loneliness by looking for a meaningful relationship. A sure-fire way to combat feelings of loneliness is to quote Scripture and fill your mind with truth that can set you free. In verse 5 of Psalm 42, we read, my soul is downcast within me; therefore I will remember you…. Now this is a very good technique and habit. When you feel lonely, you should then force yourself to remember and recite out loud God’s goodness to you in times past. Are you having a tough time today, feeling alone and lonely? Then, stop right now and talk to yourself; find some place where you can say something like, “Look, Mary, what is your problem? The God of all the Universe loves you and cares for you; he’s met your need time and again. Remember, Jesus will never leave you or forsake you, and you have a wonderful Friend in Jesus.” Just recite, out loud if possible, what you know to be true. Finding relief from loneliness is often a choice we make to replace wrong thoughts with right thoughts and decide to live in the truth of God's Word.

I’ve been sharing some thoughts on the loneliness epidemic. It’s amazing how many people are very lonely. God makes a home for the lonely; He leads out the prisoners into prosperity. Only the rebellious dwell in a parched land (Psalm 68:6). I have found this verse to be exactly true in my life. As I have allowed God to make a home for me and to accept his presence as sufficient in my life, I have been set free from the awful heaviness of loneliness. That verse says only the rebellious dwell in a parched land. When we refuse to allow God to be our cure for loneliness, when we continue to try to do it our way and fill the empty void with people and activities, we’ll continue to find loneliness our companion. Your feelings of loneliness may be because you are still rebelling against God’s answers. Maybe it's because you don’t like the idea of learning to let him fill up your empty time and change your lonely feelings. Of course, there's no doubt God created us for fellowship and companionship, and we need people in our lives. When Jesus was facing crucifixion, he took his three closest companions with him while he prayed. He needed God's presence, and he needed their presence and support. The Apostle Paul spoke of his need to be with his companions and his encouragers. If you are lonely because you don't have a good friend or friends, or they're not nearby, I would remind you that to have friends, you have to reach out to others and be a friend. Ask yourself what you could do for someone else to be their friend, to meet their need, instead of waiting for someone to be your friend. We reap what we sow—that's a biblical principle. If you want friendships, sow friendships; become a friend to others. Loneliness can be very crippling, but you can take positive steps—by God's grace—to overcome those depressing feelings of loneliness. Of course, the most important step to take is to spend time developing your relationship with Jesus through Bible study and prayer. He is a friend who sticks closer than a brother, and believe me, he can fill the lonely space inside of you.

Abortion, Feminism & The Bible : A Conversation America Isn't Ready ForIn this bold and unfiltered conversation, Isaiah sits down with Millicent Sedra to talk about the topics most people avoid: abortion, feminism, biblical womanhood, identity, and the war on truth in our culture.Millicent shares her powerful testimony of breaking free from insecurity and people-pleasing to becoming a courageous voice for God's truth—no matter how unpopular it is. With a background in psychology and neuroscience, she exposes how modern psychology often denies the supernatural and why the world's solutions can never heal what only Jesus can.Together, they dive into:• Why so many women feel pressured by modern feminism• The spiritual deception behind the abortion movement• What the Bible actually teaches about womanhood, identity, and purpose• How Millicent found freedom from fear and became bold in her faith• Why culture hates objective truth—and why Christians must speak up nowThis is a conversation America isn't ready for… but desperately needs.Support https://www.Isaiahsaldivar.com/partnerTo sow into this stream Monthly/ONE time/ https://bit.ly/2NRIBcM PAYPAL https://shorturl.at/eJY57www.Isaiahsaldivar.com www.Instagram.com/Isaiahsaldivar www.Facebook.com/Isaiahsaldivar www.youtube.com/IsaiahsaldivarOrder My New Book, “How To Cast Out Demons,” Here! https://a.co/d/87NYEfcTo sow www.Isaiahsaldivar.com/partner

Are you a lonely person? We’re talking about the loneliness epidemic. With the presence of Christ in our lives, we need not be lonely, no matter how alone we may be. Why, then, are so many Christians lonely? Because they don’t practice the presence of Christ in their lives. You “practice” his presence—you develop the habit of calling on him, talking to him, inviting him to be a part of your life at all times. Could it be you're not practicing his presence because there is some sin that keeps you from sweet, intimate fellowship with God? If you’re living in disobedience to God and you know it, that could be the cause of your loneliness since it’s destroying the sense of God’s presence in your life. Many Christians don’t know God’s presence because they don’t spend enough time with him. You can't practice his presence very well if you’re not saturating your life with God’s Word and prayer. Not long after I had come back to God and made him Lord of my life, I was sitting in my office one Wednesday when it occurred to me, I was facing a weekend with no plans! For singles, that can be seen as the worst of all fates, and in a slight panic I reached for my phone to start calling friends. As I started to dial, the Holy Spirit quietly said to me, “Can’t you trust me? The weekends are in my control just as much as the other days. You can make a weekend alone—with me!” My somewhat fearful response was, “Okay, Lord, I’ll prove you are God of the weekends, too.” So, I made plans to be alone with God for those two weekend evenings. There were some tense moments when I again found myself thinking, “Something must be wrong with me, or I wouldn’t be by myself on a Saturday evening.” But I took my Bible, sat down and asked God to again show me he was God, even of the weekends. I ran to God as my refuge, and I was free. Free from the need to have someone around all the time; free from those self-pitying, self-centered feelings of loneliness. Though it’s a lesson I have had to re-learn from time to time, I can tell you it became a treat to have some quiet Saturday nights by myself. It was a turning point for me, dispelling the fear of being alone. If that is more or less where you are, God wants to do the same for you.

I’m talking about loneliness. Not just missing someone you love, but the invasive sense of loneliness that controls the lives of so many people. Indeed, we find ourselves in a loneliness epidemic today, with more and more people feeling alone, left out, and isolated. It's important to understand that activity, people, marriage are not the cures for loneliness. If they are, then we are doomed to a roller-coaster life, because none of those things are guaranteed to us. Activities ebb and flow, people come in and out of our lives, the most wonderful marriage in the world can be severed through death. If you’re lonely today, are you willing to let God change your thinking about being alone? That’s where we begin. But it takes more than that. God recognized our need for companionship, our need to be loved and to feel secure. And he has provided for that need completely. Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you (Hebrews 13:5). If you will apply this incredible promise to your life, it can be the beginning of knowing freedom from those awful feelings of loneliness. Please believe what I’m telling you. It's not a cliché; it's truth! That lonely place inside you can be filled when you learn to live in the knowledge that Jesus is the ever-present Lord. That is his gift to you when you are born from above. Let me share with you a poem by an anonymous writer which says this so well: There is a mystery in human hearts;                                 And though we be encircled by a host Of those who love us well, and are beloved, To every one of us, from time to time, There comes a sense of utter loneliness: Our dearest friend is stranger to our joy, And cannot realize our bitterness.   So when we feel this loneliness, it is The voice of Jesus saying, “Come to me”; And every time we are “not understood,” It is a call to us to come again; For Christ alone can satisfy the soul, And those who walk with him from day to day, Can never have a “solitary way.”   And would you know the reason why this is? It is because the Lord desires our love: In every heart he wishes to be first. He therefore keeps the secret key himself, To open all its chambers and to bless With perfect sympathy and holy peace, Each solitary soul that comes to him. With Christ you don’t have to feel that ever-abiding despair of being lonely. He has come to abolish it, and he is totally capable of doing just that, if you will allow him to.

Did you realize loneliness is at epidemic levels? If you google “loneliness epidemic,” you will find pages of articles on the effect of loneliness. We have more and easier ways of communicating than ever before, and yet indeed our technological advances are part of the cause for this loneliness epidemic, because we are more isolated than ever. Loneliness is that empty spot in the pit of your stomach that makes life seem meaningless and makes you feel worthless. All of us experience loneliness at times, and when it is a fleeting emotion, it doesn't usually impact your life significantly. However, persistent and pervasive feelings of loneliness are indeed harmful to your health. Normal Cousins has been attributed to saying, “All man's history is an endeavor to shatter his loneliness.” We are designed by God for fellowship, for companionship and when it is missing, it affects our motivation, our self-respect, our happiness—almost every part of our lives. However, we must recognize loneliness and aloneness are two different things. You can be lonely in a crowd or a group of friends or with a mate or friend right there with you. Or you can be all by yourself for extended periods yet not be lonely. Loneliness is a feeling, not a set of circumstances. A single woman in her late twenties shared an experience with me which points out our society’s attitude about aloneness. Since her church had no class for singles, she joined in with the young couples group. One Sunday, she didn’t make it to Sunday school, and her teacher said to her, “I’m so sorry you weren’t at Sunday school today. I was counting on you being there because I knew you’d have lots of good input for our discussion, since we were talking about loneliness today.” People automatically assume being single means you’re lonely because being alone is often seen as the worst thing in the world. This mistaken notion about aloneness causes people to do the most incredible things to avoid being by themselves. I know, because I’ve done some of them. I’ve gone to places I should never have gone to. I’ve been with people I should never have been with. I’ve spent money I never should have spent, just to avoid being alone.

One women is killed every 10 minutes, globally and the number continues to climb higher. Why is it that men think women are so disposable so many of them feel entitled to kill us. It's the culture! And society convinces men they should want sex all the time.

On this episode, Jared and Jen break down one of the most misunderstood hormone issues affecting both women and men: estrogen dominance. This isn't always about having “too much estrogen”—it's about a ratio problem, driven largely by low or depleted progesterone. You'll learn how estrogen is metabolized through different liver pathways, why some forms of estrogen are far more disruptive than others, and how liver health, gut function, stress, blood sugar, and environmental exposures all shape hormone balance. The episode also explores how estrogen dominance shows up differently in women and men, why symptoms often persist even when labs look “normal,” and how modern lifestyle factors quietly stack the deck against hormonal health.Jared and Jen also take an honest look at hormonal birth control, endocrine disruptors, seed oils, and genetic factors that can impair estrogen clearance—without fear-mongering or oversimplification. The episode closes with a clear, practical framework for supporting estrogen metabolism, restoring progesterone balance, and addressing the root causes naturally.Products:LiverVitalityEndoCleanseBack on TractVital D3/K2Ultimate Vitality MultiActive B ComplexMagnesium BisglycinateAdditional Information:#588: The Hidden Epidemic Part 1: How Endocrine Disruptors Are Hijacking Your Health#589: The Hidden Epidemic Part 2: The Complete Endocrine Detox Strategy#595: The Estrobolome Explained: How Your Gut Shapes Your HormonesCheck out all five“Jen's Story” Episodes!Dirty Genes - Book by Dr. Ben LynchVisit the podcast website here: VitalityRadio.comYou can follow @vitalitynutritionbountiful and @vitalityradio on Instagram, or Vitality Radio and Vitality Nutrition on Facebook.

This led to the "Low Fat" craze, where manufacturers removed fat from food but replaced it with massive amounts of sugar to make it taste good.The "Ancel Keys" Effect: Discuss the "Seven Countries Study." Keys famously cherry-picked data to prove fat was bad, conveniently leaving out countries (like France and West Germany) that ate lots of fat but had low heart disease.The "Profit" Motive: A cured diabetic buys no drugs. A managed diabetic is a customer for life. Is the push against "Keto" (which can reverse Type 2) actually about protecting pharmaceutical revenue?-https://diabetesjournals.org/care/article/34/Supplement_2/S132/28705/Hypoglycemia-and-Cardiovascular-Risks-https://news.un.org/en/story/2023/07/1138732Tune in and listen to the discussion.

America is suffering from a loneliness epidemic. Some groups have suggested religious communities may be key to solving it. Could it help? Those arguing “yes” say it gives people regular social contact, support systems, and a sense of purpose that could combat isolation. Those arguing “no” say that secular options would provide better, broad-based solutions. Now we debate: Can Religion Cure the Loneliness Epidemic?    Arguing Yes:   Harold Koenig, Director of Duke University's Center for Spirituality, Theology and Health   Chris Murphy, Senator from Connecticut     Arguing No:  Ruth Whippman, Author of "America the Anxious: How Our Pursuit of Happiness Is Creating a Nation of Nervous Wrecks" and "BOYMOM: Reimagining Boyhood in the Age of Impossible Masculinity."  Dan Barker, Co-President of the Freedom from Religion Foundation  Emmy award-winning journalist John Donvan moderates  Learn more about your ad choices.

Today, Paul M. Neuberger comes for the version of Christianity that's all talk, no walk. The facade. The pose. The outward show with a hollow soul.It's time to face the cost: living for the world's approval or Christ's command.We dive deep into the uncomfortable gap between Sunday worship and Monday obedience—where image outpaces integrity and where cheap grace tries to replace costly discipleship.The world may settle for branding; we answer to a higher calling.Jesus didn't die for religious actors—He died to make us new. The challenge? Will you repent, realign, and let your faith get rugged, real, and relentless?Buckle up. This one's raw, real, and rooted in truth.“Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You are like whitewashed tombs, which look beautiful on the outside but on the inside are full of the bones of the dead and everything unclean. 28 In the same way, on the outside you appear to people as righteous but on the inside you are full of hypocrisy and wickedness." –Matthew 23:27-28Episode Highlights:09:33 – Over time, the church can unintentionally become a safe place to hide instead of a holy place to be healed. One of the primary engines of hypocrisy is cheap grace, the idea that forgiveness cancels the call to transformation. Grace becomes a spiritual anesthetic instead of a surgical tool. We numb conviction instead of letting it cut. But Scripture is clear. Grace saves us and grace trains us... If grace never teaches you to say no, it's not biblical grace. It's self-deception wearing religious language.36:14 – The antidote to hypocrisy is not louder words or stronger branding. It's costly obedience. Real Christianity has always been less about what we say and more about how we live. When no one's watching, walking the walk means choosing obedience even when it hurts, costs, or isolates. It means aligning behavior with belief, not just on Sunday, but in the hidden places where integrity is formed. Jesus never invited people to admire him from a distance; he invited them to follow.41:42 — Hypocrisy drains spiritual authority. When the church mirrors the world in greed, sexual immorality, pride and division, it has nothing prophetic to say. Jesus called his followers the light of the world and the salt of the earth. Hypocrisy dims the light and contaminates the salt. Fourth, what's at stake is leadership, integrity. Hypocrisy doesn't stay hidden forever.  Connect with Paul M. NeubergerWebsite

Honestly, we're glad this conversation is happening. This trend isn't “cute”; it's marketing beauty culture to kids as young as 3. If you want a spa day, give them cucumber slices, a warm flannel, and some giggles - not products they never needed.As dermatologist @drgeetika shared, the concern goes deeper: “When skincare is marketed as a ‘need', and 3–6-year-olds start believing something is wrong with their skin because marketing pushes routines they never needed in the first place.” Childhood doesn't need serums. It needs play, safety, and self-love - not adult expectations.Tune In NowSupport the show

“We all have a role in this, and I think if we're going to takethe ending the HIV epidemic conversation more seriously, we need to have a pretty frank conversation about, you know, expanding roles and not relying so heavily on one discipline to resolve these issues. Dental visits are a missed opportunity. They're an untapped setting. There's missed opportunities and we should be thinking creatively about how to, again, reimagine that kind of space.”Anthony J. Santella On this episode of The HPP Podcast, Anthony J. Santella shares his research regarding dentists' and dental hygienists' roles in ending the HIV epidemic.

In this solo episode of the Sacred Window Podcast, Christine Eck offers a quiet, steady reflection for caregivers who are holding more than most people can see.Recorded during the season of darkness and light, this conversation emerges from an awareness that burnout has become almost synonymous with caregiving—especially in postpartum care, birth work, and family support. We name it, we expect it, and often we carry it alone.But burnout is not a personal failure.And it is not the price of meaningful work.Through the lens of Ayurveda and the Universal Mother Principles, Christine explores caregiving as a reciprocal process—one in which the caregiver must also be held, nourished, and resourced from within. She speaks honestly about motivation, depletion, inner fire, and the quiet self-judgment that can arise when we feel we are never doing enough.This episode is an invitation to step back from the pressure of productivity and return to what truly sustains us. To remember that while we may not be able to do everything, we can tend the center—one moment of presence, one connection, one intentional pause at a time.This conversation is for:Caregivers feeling stretched thinPostpartum and birth professionals navigating exhaustionMothers and family caregivers longing for restorationAnyone questioning how to stay in service without burning outRather than offering fixes or formulas, this episode creates space for reflection—asking you to consider your own story of depletion, and the possibility of restoration that still lives within you.Care was never meant to flow in only one direction.You are part of the circle, too.We're grateful to walk this path together.Are you feeling the call to know more about Conscious Postpartum Care?Reach out! ⁠Schedule a time with Christine⁠ to find out how this work can transform your care business or provide a meaningful career path.Here is the ⁠link⁠ to our free class@‌sacredwindowstudiesJoin our ⁠Facebook Group⁠Podcast Music is Composed by Sara Emmitt, graduate of the Center for Sacred Window Studies.

Josh Trent welcomes Dr. Ryan Lazarus, Functional Medicine Practitioner, to the Wellness + Wisdom Podcast, episode 788, to reveal how surviving a near death experience without a pancreas shattered medical labels, reshaped his beliefs about healing, and led him to a holistic blueprint that integrates mindset, food as medicine, trauma stored in DNA, mental fitness, connection, and purpose as the true foundations of lifelong health.

In this episode of Adulting with Autism, host April explores quantum human design for neurodivergent reconnection with Dr. Karen Parker, Human Design/Quantum Human Design expert (psychology/holistic health background, founder of Quantum Human Design™). Integrating ancient wisdom/quantum physics, Dr. Parker decodes energetic blueprints for growth—workshops/courses/consults empowering authentic purpose/societal harmony. Key insights: Body disconnection: Epidemic from kindergarten (overstim/shame, "treehouse" numbness); leads to distractions (TV/phone/food) to avoid pain. Micro-trauma: Not just big events—shaming needs (e.g., bathroom denial) teaches "unsafe to be me"; compounds to burnout (body refuses mask). Redefine value: Shift from material/numerical (money/size) to preciousness (once-in-lifetime cosmic event)—nurture self like royal gems. Quantum human design: High-frequency language rewires stories (photon storms/neurotransmitters); hero's journey (creative writing/dance) upgrades victim to victor, boosts immunity/creativity. Healing steps: Compassion without judgment ("ready for change"); rest/outdoors/body listening; frequency physics (high vibe pulls others up—influential/authentic living). ND application: Burnout from masking (exhaustion trying to fit); safe embodiment for empaths/sensitives—rewrite low-frequency trauma narratives. For autistic/ADHD in overwhelm/isolation, Dr. Parker's blueprint: "Preciousness heals—get in body, rewrite story."

“People are not looking for a perfect, polished answer. They're looking for a human to speak to them like a human,” says Jessica Malaty Rivera, an infectious disease epidemiologist and one of the most trusted science communicators in the U.S. to emerge from the COVID-19 pandemic. That philosophy explains her relatable, judgement-free approach to communications which aims to make science more human, more accessible and less institutional. In this wide-ranging Raise the Line discussion, host Lindsey Smith taps Rivera's expertise on how to elevate science understanding, build public trust, and equip people to recognize disinformation. She is also keen to help people understand the nuances of misinformation -- which she is careful to define – and the emotional drivers behind it in order to contain the “infodemics” that complicate battling epidemics and other public health threats. It's a thoughtful call to educate the general public about the science of information as well as the science behind medicine. Tune in for Rivera's take on the promise and peril of AI-generated content, why clinicians should see communication as part of their professional responsibility, and how to prepare children to navigate an increasingly complex information ecosystem.Mentioned in this episode:de Beaumont Foundation If you like this podcast, please share it on your social channels.

When you're moving at full speed, it's easy to cross the finish line of one goal and immediately sprint toward the next. High performers do this constantly, accomplishing meaningful things, then dismissing them because they "should have happened sooner." But that pattern costs us more than we realize. We're discarding the very evidence that could accelerate everything we want in the year ahead. In this episode, I'm sharing the Year-End Review.  A four-step exercise that's been responsible for continual growth in my business, relationships, and leadership for over a decade. This isn't traditional goal-setting. It's about mining the gold from your own lived experience and discovering your personal success formula, the patterns that already work for you, and the ones that could be dropped for better results. You'll learn how to celebrate your wins in a way that rewires your brain for more success, identify the themes driving your results, and build 2026 goals on a foundation of proven strategy rather than borrowed tactics and shiny objects.   Our mission is to help you become unstoppable, enabling you to do your best work of your career while enjoying more inner peace and freedom.

Send us a textIn this opening episode of reverberations, John invites listeners into a reflective inquiry beneath the surface of modern life:If progress is supposed to improve the human experience, why does it so often feel hollow?Through personal reflection, cultural observation and emerging research on loneliness, trust and belonging, this episode names a quiet but pervasive fracture between the systems we've built and the human beings we actually are.This episode an invitation to slow down… to tell the truth… and to ask better questions.John introduces the deeper journey of this season and gently seeds Integrated Systems Theory, a dignity-led framework for reimagining development from the inside out.  Beginning with lived experience rather than policy or ideology, this episode sets the stage for a season-long exploration of dignity, belonging, human possibility and ecological reverence.If you've ever felt that something about “progress” doesn't quite add up…you're not alone.This is where the conversation begins.Support the showinstagram For more of my music, visit www.soundcloud.com/john-stuarttwitterAmplify Your LoveWe are...#BetterTogether

What if Santa Claus isn't just jolly… but *gluten sensitive*?

For the past half century, Americans have been told that psychiatric drugs fix chemical imbalances in the brain. But this is nothing but a myth, says journalist Robert Whitaker.Whitaker is the publisher of MadInAmerica.com and is known for his influential critiques of modern psychiatry and psychiatric drug treatment.It was hypothesized that depression was due to too little serotonin and that schizophrenia was caused by too much dopamine—and that drugs could fix that, just like insulin for diabetes. But that was never backed up by evidence, Whitaker said.“That was the story that was used to sell a whole second generation of psychiatric drugs and dramatically expand the psychiatric enterprise worldwide,” he said.In 1999, Whitaker co-wrote a series of articles for the Boston Globe on psychiatric research and became a finalist for the 1999 Pulitzer Prize for Public Service, thereby establishing his reputation in this field. Later, he served as director of publications at Harvard Medical School.“We have this story that we're making great progress in diagnosing and treating mental disorders,” he told me.U.S. spending on treating mental disorders has risen substantially over the past decades, from tens of billions in the late 1980s to more than $100 billion per year today. But there is no evidence, he says, that these drugs improve long-term outcomes. On the contrary, there is plenty of evidence that psychiatric drugs can actually make things worse, he says.“They actually cause chemical imbalances, increase the chronicity of disorders, increase functional impairment, and you see rising disability rates wherever you see this paradigm of care adopted,” he says.Certain antipsychotics for schizophrenia, for instance, can actually reduce brain tissue, particularly in the first year, and that's been associated with cognitive decline and a worsening of symptoms.Evidence shows that other countries, including developing nations, that have not adopted this same approach have seen much better outcomes, he says.In this episode, he breaks down his findings from decades of studying this issue. Whitaker is the author of “Mad in America” and “Anatomy of an Epidemic.”Views expressed in this video are opinions of the host and the guest, and do not necessarily reflect the views of The Epoch Times.

Today, I am delighted to connect with Dr. Sameena Rahman, a board-certified OBGYN and certified menopause practitioner with over a decade of expertise in midlife sexual medicine and concierge gynecology. Dr. Rahman founded the GSM Collective in downtown Chicago to deliver a more personalized patient-first model of health care for women.  In our conversation, we explore how cultural and racial factors influence care for women, particularly during the menopausal transition. We discuss the heart disease risk of women with a baseline of inflammation and insulin resistance, the effects of allostatic load on minority women, why cognitive health is crucial, the impact of alcohol, and why the current medical model is a systemic failure that gaslights women. We also examine the impact of pelvic floor therapy, appropriate pelvic examinations, specific autoimmune vulvar conditions, and how oral contraceptives affect sexual health, and Dr. Rahman shares her recommendations for preventing frailty and loss of independence. I am a big admirer of Dr. Rahman's work and look forward to having her join us again after her new book is published. IN THIS EPISODE, YOU WILL LEARN: Why Hormone Replacement Therapy alone might not solve all menopausal genital issues How pelvic floor issues can even affect women who have not given vaginal births What a routine Pap smear can miss, regarding vulvar and vestibular health What a simple Q-tip test can reveal about vulvar pain How untreated pain can create a cycle of pelvic floor problems How local hormone therapy can target vulvar and vestibular pain where systemic hormones may fall short The benefits of trauma-informed exams  The value of integrating pelvic floor therapy with local hormone treatment  How long-term birth control use might affect vulvar tissue What to consider for balancing contraception with sexual health Bio: Dr. Sameena Rahman Dr. Sameena Rahman is a board-certified OB/GYN, sex-med gynecologist, menopause specialist, and a clinical assistant professor of OB/GYN at the Northwestern Feinberg School of Medicine.  She is the founder of the GYN & Sexual Medicine Collective, a successful concierge practice that emphasizes evidence-based medicine, and an affiliate of Ms. Medicine. Dr. Rahman is dedicated to evaluating and treating each patient with compassion, trauma-informed care, and an awareness of personal bias. Additionally, she hosts the podcast Gyno Girl Presents: Sex, Drugs & Hormones and will release her first book, Brown Girls Disease?

In this powerful and deeply honest conversation, Pastor Matt joins the show to unpack some of the most challenging topics facing believers today — navigating suffering, understanding the “why” behind pain, and fighting the growing epidemic of sexual sin in the church. He shares the story of losing his daughter Sarah, how he processed grief without losing his faith, and why choosing peace over understanding is essential for spiritual maturity. Pastor Matt also delivers a masterclass on the fear of the Lord, spiritual authority, purity, neural pathways, and the unseen spiritual dynamics behind sexual temptation. This episode is a rare blend of raw vulnerability, theological depth, and extremely practical wisdom for anyone seeking freedom and a deeper relationship with God. This is one of the most important and transformative conversations we've ever had on the podcast.   Know more about Sathiya's work: Join Deep Clean Inner Circle - The Brotherhood You Neeed (+ get coached by Sathiya) For Less Than $2/day Submit Your Questions (Anonymously) To Be Answered On The Podcast Get A Free Copy of The Last Relapse, Your Blueprint For Recovery Watch Sathiya on Youtube For More Content Like This   Chapters: (00:00) Introduction & Pastor Matt's Background (04:00) The Cost of Leadership & Staying in Your Calling (06:00) Losing His Daughter & Processing Pain with God (08:00) Should We Ask God “Why”?

What if everything women have been taught about “health” is missing the point?This week on Women in the Nude, we sit down with Julie Sawaya, CEO and co-founder of Needed, to rip the curtain back on the supplement industry, and the systemic ways women's bodies have been misunderstood, under-researched, and underserved.Julie doesn't just talk about vitamins. She talks about power, science, misinformation, and the quiet rage women carrywhen their symptoms are dismissed as “normal.” From fertility and hormones to burnout and emotional depletion, this conversation goes where most wellness discussions won't…calling out what's broken, what's performative, and what women actually deserve.This episode is bold, honest, and deeply validating. If you've ever felt confused, gaslit, or exhausted by the wellness world, this one's for you.Julie Sawaya is the CEO and co-founder of Needed, a women-first nutrition company rewriting the rules of supplements with science, transparency, and integrity at its core.Frustrated by an industry built on outdated research and marketing over substance, Julia helped build Needed to support women at every stage of life, especially during the moments they're most overlooked. Her work bridges clinical science with real-world experience, challenging the status quo of how women's health products are formulated, regulated, and discussed.Julie is known for her refusal to water things down and advocating for better data, better ingredients, and better conversations around women's bodies. Her mission is simple but radical: give women what they actually need, not what sells fastest.

Send me a DM here (it doesn't let me respond), OR email me: imagineabetterworld2020@gmail.comToday I'm honored to have on the show once again: Child and foster care, religious abuse, child sexual abuse, trafficking, and satanic ritual abuse survivor and whistleblower, campaigner of historical child abuse, Founder of S.A.F.E. - Seek And Find Everyone abused in childhood, independent researcher and reporter, podcast regular, and someone I feel honored everyday to call my friend: Dave SharpFrom the moment he drew his first breath, Dave was an orphan - entrusted not to loving arms, but to the care of the Catholic Church, a place that should have been a haven of mercy. Instead, it became the gateway to sixteen years of unspeakable torment. From infancy through adolescence, he was trafficked across Scotland, passed like a shadow between hidden houses in Glasgow's darkest corners, where men sworn to holiness orchestrated rituals of pure evil. Dave and countless other children were drugged and delivered to satanic sex parties - violated by multiple predators amid scenes of calculated depravity. These were not random cruelties; they were the work of an organized network that deliberately targeted the most defenseless: orphans and children with no family, no voice, and nowhere to turn.His tormentors were not strangers in the night. They were the very priests, nuns, and officials who had vowed to protect him. The system meant to shield the vulnerable became the perfect hunting ground, proving a harrowing truth: the safest place for a predator is the one that grants unlimited, unquestioned access to children.Yet out of this abyss rose an indomitable spirit. At sixteen, Dave shattered his chains and stepped into freedom, though the scars walk with him still. Survivors seek him out, drawn to his unbreakable courage, sharing stories that echo his own. These are not isolated tragedies; they are the unmistakable evidence of a rot that ran deep, hidden behind collars and titles.But make no mistake: Dave is no mere victim. He is a warrior forged in fire, anchored by a profound and unshakable faith in Jesus Christ. In his darkest moment he proclaimed with gratitude: “I am so grateful that God has chosen me to go out and show the evil that exists in Scotland and to tell the world to put His children first.”And that is exactly what Dave will be doing today. For weeks on end, Dave has been travelling across Scotland, campaigning for and connecting with countless other survivors across his country. And today we will hear the continued testimony of Dave's advocacy work and what he has learned and discovered on his journeys. You will not want to miss a moment of this episode. What Dave has discovered is disturbing, concerning, and upsetting, yet he brings hope to this conversation. There is simply no one who has pieced together the dirty underbelly of Scotland as Dave has, and with the sadness also comes revelations of solutions, healing, and ways we can stop this epidemic on our children in it's tracks.

Beating the Loneliness Epidemic: How ACE's Dr. Cedric Bryant and Dr. Sabrena Jo Help Us Add People to Our Years Live Long Better: Not Old Better and American Council on Exercise Today's show is brought to you by Aura Frames. Aura Frames: the gift that brings your favorite holiday traditions and memories to life every day. If I told you there was a health risk that could quietly raise your chances of early death by roughly 25 to 30 percent… and it wasn't diabetes, blood pressure, or cholesterol… you'd probably lean in. According to the U.S. Surgeon General, loneliness and social isolation increase the risk of premature death by 26% and 29%, and lacking social connection can be as dangerous as smoking up to 15 cigarettes a day. HHS+1 So here's the question for all of us over 60: we count our steps, we count our meds… who's helping us count our people? Welcome to Live Long Better. I'm your host, and today we're tackling the loneliness epidemic head‑on—with movement and community as the prescription Joining us are two leaders from the American Council on Exercise, or ACE. First, our ongoing member of the team, Dr. Sabrena Jo, Senior Director of Science and Education, whose work focuses on how pro‑aging, inclusive fitness and community‑based movement can turn a lonely workout into a welcoming social circle. And we're also joined by Dr. Cedric Bryant, Chief Executive Officer at ACE. Cedric spends his days at the table with organizations like the World Health Organization, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and the National Academies of Science, Engineering and Medicine, championing physical activity as essential public health. ACE Fitness He's authored more than 300 articles and over 40 books, holds a doctorate in physiology from Penn State—where he received the university's Distinguished Alumni Award—and he lives the ACE mission personally with regular exercise, pickleball, golf, and even coaching youth sports. ACE Fitness Cedric often says, "Some activity is better than none, and more is better than some. Every little bit counts." ACE Fitness+1 We'll talk about how that simple idea scales up—from one older adult taking a short walk with a neighbor, to ACE's 40 Forward initiative, a 40th‑anniversary effort to "shape the future of fitness together" by building more inclusive, community‑driven opportunities to move in every kind of neighborhood. ACE Fitness+2ACE Fitness+2 If your contact list has gotten smaller while your pill organizer has gotten bigger, this episode is for you. Because today, we're not just talking about adding years to your life… we're talking about adding people to your years. Stay with us—Dr. Sabrena Jo and Dr. Cedric Bryant are coming up next.
