What does hope really mean when an eating disorder has lasted for years or decades? In 2026, many people with chronic eating disorders feel left out of recovery conversations that prioritize fast change, early intervention, and visible transformation. This episode offers a different framework. One that respects long-term patterns, nervous system survival, neurodivergence, and harm reduction. This conversation is for anyone who has wondered whether recovery is still possible for them, or whether traditional recovery models ever truly fit in the first place. Understanding Chronic Eating Disorders Chronic eating disorders are often misunderstood as failures or lack of motivation. In reality, long-term eating disorder patterns usually develop as adaptive responses to unmet needs for safety, regulation, autonomy, or predictability. These patterns persist not because someone is resistant to change, but because they once worked. In 2026, more clinicians are beginning to recognize eating disorders as learned survival systems rather than character flaws. This shift changes how care is offered and how hope becomes possible. Why Traditional Recovery Hope Often Falls Apart Many people with long-term eating disorders have been harmed by how hope is framed in treatment. When hope depends on symptom elimination, linear progress, or compliance with rigid models, it becomes fragile. Setbacks then feel like proof that recovery has failed. For chronic eating disorders, hope cannot be conditional. It must be able to coexist with fluctuation, stress, and ongoing vulnerability without turning into another source of shame. What Hope Can Actually Look Like for Long-Term Eating Disorders Hope in chronic eating disorder recovery often looks quieter and more realistic than cultural narratives suggest. It may involve increased choice instead of total freedom, fewer all-or-nothing spirals, or the ability to pause before acting on urges. For many people, hope shows up as nourishment that feels neutral rather than terrifying, or as eating with accommodations that respect sensory and nervous system needs. This kind of hope does not erase struggle. It changes how much control the eating disorder has over daily life. Progress Beyond Symptom Elimination Progress in long-term eating disorder recovery often happens beneath the surface. It can appear as quicker nervous system recovery after distress, reduced intensity of urges, or increased ability to name internal experiences instead of dissociating from them. These changes matter. They reflect learning, regulation, and increased safety, even when symptoms remain present. Measuring progress by lived experience rather than symptom checklists allows hope to grow more sustainably. Neurodivergence, Trauma, and Treatment Fit Many people with chronic eating disorders are neurodivergent, trauma-exposed, or both. Historically, eating disorder treatment has often failed to account for sensory needs, autonomy, and nervous system regulation. When care does not fit, people are frequently blamed rather than supported. In 2026, more neurodivergent-affirming and trauma-informed approaches are emerging. These frameworks recognize eating disorder behaviors as attempts at regulation and protection, not defiance. When care adapts to the person instead of forcing conformity, change becomes more possible. Harm Reduction and Chronic Eating Disorders Harm reduction plays a critical role in supporting people with long-term eating disorders. Rather than demanding full recovery as the only acceptable outcome, harm reduction focuses on reducing risk, increasing stability, and supporting safety in the present moment. For many people, harm reduction offers a form of hope that does not collapse under pressure. In 2026, this approach is increasingly recognized as legitimate, ethical eating disorder care. Letting Go of Cure-Based Recovery Models One of the most hopeful shifts for chronic eating disorders is releasing the idea that cure is the only meaningful goal. People deserve care, dignity, and support regardless of whether they reach full symptom remission. Many individuals experience greater peace when they stop chasing recovery narratives that were never designed for them and begin building lives that work with their nervous systems rather than against them. You Are Not Too Late If an eating disorder has been part of your life for a long time, you are not behind and you are not broken. You did not miss your chance at support. Hope does not require erasing your history or minimizing what you have survived. Hope can exist alongside chronicity.

In this conversation, Dr. Stanton Hom welcomes back Dr. Andrew Kaufman, a "recovering physician" known for challenging mainstream narratives on viruses, vaccines, and chronic illness. Together they unpack vaccine mandates, the 1986 liability shield, and how government intervention reshaped the market for vaccines. They then dive into turpentine as a traditional, evidence-backed remedy, how it works as a lipophilic detox tool, and practical ways families can safely apply it. Dr. Kaufman also outlines his natural-healing workshops and a vision of healthcare where families rely less on institutions and more on their own wisdom, community, and responsibility.   Highlights: "The only way we can change these harmful societal forces is by making decisions and taking action for ourselves."   "It wasn't the diagnoses that came first. It was the drugs, and then they built a system to convince everyone they're mentally ill."    "It's not the substance that does the curing. It's your body that does the cure."    "The only sustainable model is when we get people so well that they never need us and they never need the system."    Timestamps: 00:01 – Introduction 00:56 – Dr. Andrew Kaufman Introduces Himself as a "Recovering Physician" 02:18 – Harm Reduction, Hepatitis B at Birth, and Questioning Immunity 06:57 – Vaccine Liability, the 1986 Act, and the Vaccine Court 11:24 – Questioning Government Authority and the Illusion of Control 20:52 – From Cancer Medicine and Psychiatry to Natural Healing 25:12 – Turpentine Enters the Conversation: History and Normalizing It 34:40 – Practical Ways to Use Turpentine: Topical and Inhalation 43:23 – Inside the Turpentine Workshop and Fellowship Support 48:32 – How Dr. Kaufman Would Approach Vaccine-Related Injuries   Resources:   Remember to Rate, Review, and Subscribe on iTunes and Follow us on Spotify!   Learn more about Dr. Stanton Hom on:   Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drstantonhom  Website: https://futuregenerationssd.com/    Podcast Website: https://thefuturegen.com Twitter: https://twitter.com/drstantonhom  LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/stanhomdc  Stay Connected with the Future Generations Podcast:   Instagram:  https://www.instagram.com/futuregenpodcast  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/futuregenpodcast/    Links:    https://www.thehivemethod.co/ https://www.instagram.com/thehivemethod.co   About Dr. Andrew Kaufman, M.D. Dr. Andrew Kaufman is a psychiatrist, forensic expert, and outspoken critic of modern psychiatry.

Send us a textIn this episode, we chatted with breath guide Brittany Lillegard to explore how anxiety, panic, and stress reshape breathing patterns—and how a single intentional inhale can start to rewrite the story your brain believes. Brittany shares her path from debilitating panic attacks to “following her breath,” including the pivotal insight that if you can't breathe in a position, you don't belong there. Applied to life, that means breath becomes both a compass and a boundary, revealing misalignment and pointing toward safety.We dig into the shift from brain-down living to breath-up regulation. Instead of the mind dictating threat and the lungs obeying, we use slow nasal breaths, gentle 360-degree rib expansion, and slightly longer exhales to send safety signals back to the brain. Brittany offers harm-reduction wisdom: box breathing can help many, but breath holds may trigger those with breath-related trauma or panic. We also explore cold exposure as a training ground for “catching your breath,” transforming stress spikes into practiced calm.Take away some simple, repeatable practices that meet you where you are: mouth closed, tongue up, ribs widening, attention softening. If you try just one thing today, take a single conscious breath and notice what changes.

In 2016, the Canadian federal government recognized the opioid crisis as a public health emergency, yet 10 years later, thousands of Canadians die from opioid toxicity every year.Health Canada committed $17 million to research projects and harm reduction initiatives aimed at substance use prevention in late 2025, but one problem that's hard to put a dollar figure on to fix is stigmatization and stereotypes surrounding safe consumption sites - which Ontario closed nine of last year.Host Maria Kestane speaks to Dimitra Panagiotoglou, the Canada Research Chair in the Economics of Harm Reduction and associate professor at McGill, to discuss her recent study on the relationship between crime associated with supervised consumption sites, and how Canadians can approach nuanced conversations surrounding substance use.

What if cannabis education focused on benefits, not fear?Daniel Bear, PhD returns to break down the cannabis industry THC obsession, Canada's cannabis tax imbalance, and why mindful consumption—not prohibition—is the future of cannabis policy. Daniel tackles falling prices, rising taxes, disappearing profit margins, and the ongoing threat of the illicit market. He explores how high-THC marketing pressures, youth protection, and consumer education can seem to be in conflict. Everyone, except governments, hat taxes, but Daniel believes smarter tax policies could stabilize the market without compromising safety. Daniel also unveils an exciting new 'project: HERBy, the Helpful Education for Responsible Benefit-maximization tool. AI can be your therapist, or your research assistant, so why not a mindful cannabis consumption chatbot. This tool is built on groundbreaking research from his recent peer-reviewed study, "Harm reduction isn't enough: Introducing the concept of Mindful Consumption and Benefit Maximization (MCBM)," published in the International Journal of Drug Policy. Listen now to learn whether Canada is still on the right path—and what industry, government, and consumers must do next to ensure legalization succeeds for everyone.HERBy Chatbot - websiteDaniel Bear PhD - LinkedIn-responsum.caTranscripts, papers and so much more at: reefermed.ca

In this episode, Paige and Jamie from Real Food Recovery join us to explore the powerful intersection of holistic health, nervous system regulation, and long-term recovery from ultra-processed food addiction. They share why they wrote their book, the four core branches that anchor recovery, and why recovery isn't about perfection—it's about resilience, compassion, and sustainable support systems that hold us when life falls apart.   With honesty and courage, Jamie shares her story of leaving an abusive relationship and navigating destabilization while protecting her recovery. Together, we dig into spirituality (beyond religion), harm reduction, abstinence debates, nervous system science, ego traps like "I'll start Monday," and how we can meet ourselves with clarity and grace instead of shame. This conversation is validating, empowering, and deeply human. Recovery isn't about mastering food—it's about building a life worth staying for.  

In this episode, Chuck Thuss sits down with Mary Beth O'Connor for a candid, eye-opening conversation about survival, healing, and long-term recovery. After surviving a childhood marked by emotional neglect and severe abuse, Mary Beth fell into addiction at just twelve years old — eventually becoming a daily meth user by her teens. But her story didn't end there. Through determination, trauma therapy, and a recovery path she crafted for herself, Mary Beth rose from years of substance use disorder to graduating from Berkeley Law and ultimately serving as a federal administrative law judge. Her transformation is breathtaking, inspiring, and proof that healing is not only possible, but life-changing. If you've ever wondered whether you're too far gone to rebuild your life, this episode is the reminder that it is never too late. Guest Bio Mary Beth O'Connor is the author of From Junkie to Judge and a nationally recognized advocate for trauma-informed, individualized addiction recovery. After surviving years of abuse and developing a meth addiction in her teens, Mary Beth rebuilt her life through therapy, alternative recovery programs, and perseverance. She went on to graduate from Berkeley Law, build a successful legal career, and ultimately serve as a federal administrative law judge. Today she writes, speaks, and mentors others seeking hope and personalized recovery paths.   You'll hear About The childhood trauma and instability that planted the seeds for addiction How early drug use escalated into a decade-long meth dependency Why personalized recovery — not one-size-fits-all — saved her life The slow, steady climb from rock bottom to law school and beyond How Mary Beth became a federal judge and an advocate for trauma-informed recovery Chapters 00:00 Welcome and Introduction 01:27 Mary Beth's Early Life and Emotional Neglect 03:29 Caring for Her Sister and Growing Up Too Soon 05:01 Early Signs of Anxiety and Emotional Distress 06:15 Moving in with Her Stepfather and Escalating Abuse 07:55 Violence, Chaos, and the Impact of Trauma 09:54 Learning to Survive an Unpredictable Environment 11:01 First Exposure to Alcohol at Age Twelve 12:43 Progression to Weed, Pills, Acid, and Meth 14:30 Trauma, Mental Health, and the Root Causes of Addiction 16:26 Why Meth Became Her Drug of Choice 17:44 Addiction Through College and Early Adulthood 19:33 The Slow, Cumulative Bottom That Forced Her to Seek Help 21:15 Rehab, Ambivalence, and Why 12-Step Didn't Fit 23:17 Discovering Alternatives and Building Her Own Recovery Plan 25:23 Treating Trauma and Co-Occurring PTSD 27:26 How Treatment Systems Fail Without Individualized Care 29:30 Asking the Right Question: "Why Am I Using?" 31:37 Mindful Drinking, Harm Reduction, and Dry January 33:47 Rebuilding Her Life From the Ground Up 35:44 Graduating From Berkeley Law and Becoming a Judge 37:09 Life Today: Writing, Speaking, and Advocacy 38:53 About Her Memoir From Junkie to Judge 40:51 Her Message to Anyone Who Believes Recovery Isn't Possible 43:03 Chuck's Closing Reflections Chuck's Challenge This week, look beneath the surface.

MCDM is a framework that helps people understand why they use cannabis, what they want from the experience, and how to reduce risks while improving outcomes.We explore why prohibition-era messaging failed, the problems with today's ultra-high-THC products, and how balanced cannabinoids may offer safer, more enjoyable experiences. The conversation also dives into Canada's legal cannabis market—from retail oversaturation to the tension between public health and commercialization—plus what other countries are doing differently.Listen now to learn how mindful cannabis consumption could reshape education, policy, and personal use.Transcripts, papers and so much more at: reefermed.ca

In this episode, we dive into a compelling narrative review from the American Journal of Psychiatry Residents' Journal (September 2025) on harm reduction interventions specifically designed for women and gender minority individuals who use drugs.   While traditional harm reduction approaches save lives, this review highlights how gender-responsive programs—addressing overlapping risks like sexual health, violence, stigma, and criminalization—can deliver even stronger outcomes.   Join us as we discuss practical implications for clinicians, the power of meeting people where they are, and why prioritizing gender-specific harm reduction could transform addiction psychiatry. Essential listening for anyone passionate about equity, evidence-based care, and reducing harm in vulnerable communities.   The background music featured in this episode is "Open Up (Pour Your Spirit Out) (Instrumental Version)" by JOYSPRING, courtesy of Epidemic Sound.

Harm reduction for eating disorders is often misunderstood, under-discussed, and sometimes controversial — yet it's transforming the way we think about treatment and care. In this episode, Sam and Laura are joined by Brenda Velissaris, LPC-S, CEDS-C, to explore how a harm reduction approach to eating disorders can meet people where they are, reduce immediate risks, support autonomy, and improve quality of life — all while holding hope for ongoing recovery. You'll learn how harm reduction strategies can complement or provide alternatives to traditional treatment, offering new possibilities, tools, and compassionate support for those who don't fully benefit from or feel stuck in conventional approaches.   If you enjoy our show, please rate, review, subscribe, and tell your friends and colleagues!   Interested in being a guest on All Bodies.

Ad Free Dopey:www.patreon.com/dopeypodcastIn this crucial emergency episode, Dave is joined by longtime friend and recovery legend Bob Forrest to process the shock, grief, and fallout surrounding the Nick Reiner tragedy and the public backlash aimed at Dopey.Bob speaks from decades of experience in addiction treatment, psychiatry-adjacent crisis work, and firsthand encounters with drug-induced psychosis, violence, and untreated mental illness. He explains why modern drugs—especially meth and stimulants—are producing homicidal and suicidal behavior, and why families often have no remaining safety net when things spiral.They discuss:Why parents can love their children and still need boundaries, charges, or interventionHow decriminalization + lack of psychiatric resources leaves families helplessWhy people project their own trauma and rage onto public figures and podcastsThe danger of separating “mental health” from active addictionCelebrity kids, resentment, identity, and why some survive while others don'tWhy Dopey is being scapegoated—and why that logic doesn't hold upThe conversation moves through music, recovery, punk rock, famous addiction stories, Christmas memories, suicidal ideation, parenting, and connection, ultimately landing on Bob's central belief: connection, love, truth, and honesty are what keep people alive.The episode ends with Bob defending Dopey's right to tell the whole truth about addiction—ugly, funny, painful, and real—and offering a blunt but heartfelt holiday message to Dopey Nation. All that and more on this brand new Wednesday episode of the good old Dopey show.  Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

In this episode Dr. Gillian Beauchamp sits down with Dr. Robert "Cole" Pueringer to discuss 3 key features of fentanyl which lead to high opioid tolerance. This high opioid tolerance can lead to more severe withdrawal syndromes and difficulty with initiating buprenorphine or methadone.  Rapid inpatient methadone initiation may be more effective than outpatient initiation.

For Ad Free shows go to:www.patreon.com/dopeypodcastDave kicks off the first-ever Wednesday Dose of Dopey talking about post-Thanksgiving food insanity, a brownie-topped cheesecake Linda brought home, and his evolving stance on cheesecake as a “real” dessert. He updates the Dopey Nation on the Dopey Fitness Challenge, his failed attempt at jogging with his dog Winnie that ends with him eating pavement, ripping his pants, smacking the dog in frustration, and then feeling guilty about it all week. Dave reads an email from Haley in Mississippi, who loved the Glenis and Billy Strings episodes and promises heavy dopey stories from homelessness, prison, and IV meth. He begs for more voicemails and then plays a chunk of Miles Davis's autobiography, where Miles describes sliding from snorting heroin into shooting it, realizing he has a habit, and sinking into a four-year “horror show” of heroin and cocaine in New York.Then Dave introduces Naughty God (Dakota), a heavily tattooed Instagram/TikTok/YouTube creator who built a big following rating nod videos “sportscaster-style.” Dakota tells his story: growing up between a sweet, young mom and a meth-addicted dad, starting drugs at 13 by snorting random pain pills he found in a friend's brother's room, and becoming the classic weed-identity kid with a pot-leaf MySpace. He forms the band LAW with his friend Jacob Nowell (Bradley Nowell's son, who now sings for Sublime), and they grow up playing shows in San Diego and Long Beach while having access to grown-up levels of partying. Dakota falls in love with cocaine in his mid-teens, then with speed, and his using gets him kicked out of LAW when Jacob gets sober and can't handle him showing up high to everything.After moving to Orange County, Dakota dives into selling and using coke in San Clemente, then adds Oxy 30s (“blues”), fentanyl pills, and heroin to his daily rotation. He and his tight crew—especially his best friend Robert—live in a constant loop of dealing, partying, and using. Over two months, Robert, Dakota's cousin, and three other friends all die from fentanyl. The losses break him: he has a mental breakdown, calls his grandma, and checks himself into a San Diego hospital detox, where he's put on 100mg of methadone and spends years on the clinic grind.Dakota talks about being on methadone for four–five years, barely using anything else, then deciding—with help from a therapist—that he'll never fully turn a corner if he stays on it forever. He tapers himself from 100mg down to 4mg over about a year, jumps off, and goes through a long, foggy, uncomfortable withdrawal. He's now about a year and a half off methadone, occasionally smokes weed, sees a therapist, plays bass in his band Somehow Unseen, and works on content. He and Dave riff on nodding (“my whole life”), nod techniques, fentanyl's short “legs,” and the economics of why heroin likely won't “come back” in a big way.Dakota explains how he built NaughtyGod into a fast-growing account by structuring it like a recurring “show” and inventing/collecting phrases like “Charm City Rainbow,” “Nodwalk Shuffle,” “Baltimore Street Yoga,” “Sheriff of Nottingham” to describe different nod poses. They talk about Instagram flagging and banning drug content, other junkie meme/recovery pages, and how both of them accidentally stumbled into helping people through content that started out as pure jokes and self-centered ambition. They agree to collab on a nod reel, and Dakota shouts out his band and pages.All that and more on a brand new WEDNESDAY Episode of the good old dopey show! Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

In this episode, Dr. Marianne Miller explores the reality that many people with lifelong eating disorders do not resonate with the traditional idea of full recovery. She explains why harm reduction can offer a compassionate and sustainable path for individuals who have lived with chronic anorexia, long term bulimia, binge eating disorder, ARFID, and other long standing eating disorders. This conversation centers trauma history, neurodivergence, sensory needs, oppression, and the intersectional barriers that prevent many people from reaching what treatment programs often define as full recovery. If you have lived with an eating disorder for decades, if you have experienced trauma or misdiagnosis, if you are neurodivergent, or if you live in a marginalized body that has faced medical discrimination, you may find this episode deeply validating. Harm reduction gives you realistic recovery goals that respect your lived experience, your nervous system, and your access needs. What You Will Learn in This Episode Dr. Marianne explains how harm reduction works in eating disorder recovery and how it differs from traditional recovery models. She shows how harm reduction supports safety, stabilization, and dignity for people who have navigated chronic eating disorders for most of their lives. You will learn why the nervous system sometimes cannot tolerate pressure toward full recovery and why a flexible, collaborative approach can feel more aligned for many people. You will hear how sensory issues, interoception challenges, executive functioning differences, autistic burnout, and ADHD related overwhelm shape eating patterns for neurodivergent individuals. You will learn how trauma history, attachment ruptures, racialized stress, gender based discrimination, medical fatphobia, and identity marginalization influence both the development of eating disorders and the recovery process. Key Topics Covered This episode covers a wide range of topics that matter deeply for people with chronic eating disorders. These topics include how harm reduction supports stabilization when the long term eating disorder has become intertwined with survival. You will hear why the phrase full recovery can feel unrealistic or even harmful for people who have lived with their eating disorder for decades. Dr. Marianne explains how harm reduction creates safety, reduces shame, increases autonomy, and supports people who need a gentler and more individualized approach. The episode explores the role of neurodiversity in eating disorder recovery. This includes how sensory sensitivities shape food choices, how interoception differences impact hunger awareness, how executive functioning challenges influence meal consistency, and why many autistic and ADHD individuals need accessible, predictable, and customized strategies. You will also learn how intersectional oppression shapes health outcomes for people of color, queer and trans individuals, disabled individuals, fat individuals, and anyone living across multiple marginalized identities. Dr. Marianne describes what harm reduction can look like in daily life, from maintaining safe foods to creating sensory friendly meals to reducing medical instability in small, sustainable steps. She shares how this approach honors personal history and current capacity and how it helps many people live with more stability and less suffering. Who This Episode Is For This episode is for anyone living with a lifelong eating disorder who has felt pressure to pursue full recovery even when that expectation does not align with their reality. It is for people with chronic anorexia, chronic bulimia, long term binge eating disorder, ARFID shaped by sensory needs, and individuals with complex trauma who feel overwhelmed by traditional treatment expectations. This episode is also for neurodivergent individuals who live with autistic sensory profiles, ADHD impulsivity, interoception challenges, and executive functioning struggles that interfere with eating. It is for people living in marginalized bodies who have experienced medical discrimination or misdiagnosis. It is for professionals who want to learn how to apply harm reduction to eating disorder treatment in inclusive, neurodivergent affirming, and identity informed ways. Why This Episode Matters Many people with chronic or lifelong eating disorders feel invisible in mainstream recovery culture. They hear messages that full recovery is the only worthy goal and feel ashamed when their body or nervous system cannot meet those expectations. This episode names that truth with compassion. Harm reduction is a valid and ethical approach that honors lived experience and brings relief to people who need safety more than perfection. This episode matters because it acknowledges the role of trauma, neurodivergence, sensory needs, and intersectionality in long term eating disorders. It challenges the idea that recovery must look the same for everyone. It shows that you deserve care even if your healing does not follow a traditional blueprint. Your life still holds value and possibility. Related Episodes Orthorexia, Quasi-Recovery, & Lifelong Eating Disorder Struggles with Dr. Lara Zibarras @drlarazib on Apple & Spotify.
