This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit andrewsullivan.substack.comMy old and dear friend Johann has written four bestsellers: Chasing the Scream: The First and Last Days of the War on Drugs, Lost Connections: Uncovering the Real Causes of Depression, Stolen Focus: Why You Can't Pay Attention (discussed on the Dishcast here), and Magic Pill: The Extraordinary Benefits and Disturbing Risks of the New Weight-Loss Drugs (discussed here). His upcoming book is about the tunnels below Las Vegas.Four years ago we aired a 2012 interview that Johann did with me — in two parts, here and here. In this new episode we cover: my first time doing shrooms — in Amsterdam with Matt and Trey; the perversion of many Germans; my first MDMA trip in the early ‘90s; fleeing rave parties to contemplate God; a disastrous trip I experienced when Johann was present — which he calls “a dystopian version of Fawlty Towers”; ego death; Michael Pollan's How to Change Your Mind; Roland Griffiths; Johann's psychedelic theory about A Passage to India; how religious peeps integrate bad trips better than non-believers; how early HIV drugs affected a psychedelic trip; feeling agape on drugs; why psychedelics often don't affect monks and nuns very much; the 15 minutes I believed that God is evil; my mom's mental illness; the adolescent event that made me a conservative; equity in education; my teenage years in The History Boys; growing up with Keir Starmer; his wild days; our frenemy debates; the Oxford Union; my introversion; coming to America; identity politics; what Foucault got right; Virtually Normal; the Dish blog covering Obama 2008 and the Green Revolution; the indy Dish in 2013; retiring the blog after my doctor said it might kill me; the BLM summer and getting fired from New York mag; Milo Yiannopoulos; Tucker Carlson; Hitchens; The Conservative Soul; Johann prodding about my sex life; Truman; and what I want to achieve in the third trimester of my life. I apologize for TMI.Chris and I are both now enjoying a summer respite from the news and work. Hope all Dishheads are able to get some time to do the same. Perspective is so critical right now, and our culture is designed to obliterate it. See you when the new season debuts at the end of August.

Dr. Andriy Klepikov, the founder and executive director of the Alliance for Public Health (Ukraine), reflects on the Alliance's remarkable evolution over the past 25 years into a major Ukrainian—and regional—non-governmental force in HIV, TB, and harm reduction programs. Foundational to its early success was the exemplary partnership with the Global Fund and PEPFAR. Ukraine, in the midst of war, cannot at present soon transition to self-reliance. In the past three and a half years of war following the Russian invasion, the Alliance has become a provider of mass emergency humanitarian relief to the most vulnerable in Ukraine. It now serves five times the numbers it served before the war. Recovery will draw on telemedicine and mobile clinics, and prioritize mental health, war veterans who are blinded, have lost limbs, and struggle with long-term trauma. The United States remains indispensable to Ukraine's future—for peace and social justice.

The decision sidestepped a larger constitutional question, while a dissent warned the ruling undermines Congress' spending power. Vulnerable communities abroad now face uncertainty.

This week on Face the Nation, President Trump invites Russia's Vladimir Putin to America, his first visit to U.S. soil in a decade. After months of Russia skirting cease-fire offers while continuing their brutal onslaught in Ukraine, President Trump skipped past his own sanctions deadline and instead invited Putin to Alaska. We hear from Ukrainian Ambassador Oksana Markarova about what her country needs to agree to a cease-fire. Plus, we ask NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte what a potential deal might mean for European security. Then, Arizona Democratic Senator Mark Kelly and Texas Republican Congressman Tony Gonzales, two lawmakers from border states, tell us how the fresh infusion of cash from Trump's massive domestic policy bill is affecting mass deportation efforts in their states. Finally, the Trump administration says it will slash funding for mRNA vaccine research, an emerging field used in COVID vaccines that also showed promise in treating cancer and HIV. We'll get analysis from Doctor Jerome Adams, who was Surgeon General in Trump's first term.

The future of Disease Care medicine is described as Predictive, Preventive, Personalized, Participatory, and Precision.  But Dr. Prather says all of those elements are already available in the Structure-Function Health Care that he practices.  In this episode, find out:—The FDA distinction between Disease Care Medicine and Structure-Function Health Care.—Why Dr. Prather says that "Structure-Function has always had the 5 P's" which are "integral" to this philosophy of care.—How Structure-Function Health Care is best known for its preventative benefits, but should also be better known for its necessity after a disease has already developed. —How the functional lab tests at Holistic Integration can "pick up on problems way before they come", which can then be prevented.—Why Dr. Prather cautions against drastic action because of genetic tests that show a tendency of a patient to develop a disease in the future. —The amazing story of a patient during the AIDS crisis who developed all the symptoms of AIDS after receiving what turned out to be a false HIV-positive test, but the symptoms disappeared after the second (and correct) negative test came back. —How Dr. Prather encouragingly says that "everything can be changed, everything can be helped, and everything can be prevented".  And why his experience with patients causes him to conclude that "having the right attitude makes all the difference in the world". —The importance of keeping the body structurally-aligned, as well as functionally-aligned, for the prevention of future issues.  And how Dr. Prather sees that 90% of people no longer fit the "normal" pattern of structural alignment due to changes that he never witnessed at the start of his career 40 years ago.—The reason Dr. Prather says anti-Cholesterol statin drugs have done "more harm than good".  And why using Cholesterol drugs as a preventative for future Cardiovascular Disease has failed. —Why Dr. Prather says that his three foundational lab tests (The Prather Profile Bloodwork, a Hair Analysis, and a stool kit) are usually all he needs to get a patient healthy before the need for "fancy" testing. http://www.TheVoiceOfHealthRadio.com

Implementation Gaps in US Syringe Service Programs, 2022  JAMA  This study performed a cross-sectional analysis of the Syringe Services Programs in the US (SSPUS) dataset to determine implementation gaps. 613 syringe service programs (SSPs) included in the dataset were geocoded to county boundaries, which were then analyzed for urbanicity and SSP need (based on HCV mortality, HIV incidence, and drug overdose mortality). The study found that most high need counties did not have an SSP: 81.2% of high HCV need counties, 69.5% of high HIV need counties, and 75.7% of high overdose need counties did not have an SSP. SSPs were more commonly located in urban counties than suburban or rural counties. The study is limited in that not all SSPs are represented within the SSPUS database; however it highlights important implementation gaps.   Read this issue of the ASAM Weekly Subscribe to the ASAM Weekly Visit ASAM

Let's say you were asked to name the greatest health risks facing the planet. Priceton University economist Ramanan Laxminarayan, founder and director of the One Health Trust, would urgently suggest you include anti-microbial resistance near the top of that list. “We're really in the middle of a crisis right now,” he tells interview David Edmonds in this Social Science Bites podcast. “Every year, about 5 million people die of infections that are associated with antibiotic resistance -- 5 million. That's nearly twice the number of people who die of HIV, TB and malaria, put together -- put together. Antibiotic resistance and associated deaths are the third leading cause of death in the world, after heart disease and stroke. So you're talking about something that's really, really big, and this is not in the future. It is right now.” The underlying problem, simply put, is that humans are squandering perhaps the greatest health innovations in the last century by using antibiotics stupidly, allowing pathogens to develop resistance and thus rendering existing antibiotics worthless. For the last 30 years and in particular through One Health Trust and as director of the World Health Organization Collaborating Center for Antimicrobial Resistance, Laxminarayan has labored to make both shine a light on anti-microbial resistance and push for policies to address it. This, he tells Edmonds, is a social science problem even more so than a medical science problem – but not the exclusive province of either. “I think one of the failures of economics,” he says, “in some ways, is that we don't take the trouble to understand the nitty gritty of the actual other field, especially when it deals with health economics or environmental economics.” In addition to his role as a senior research scholar at Princeton, Laxminarayan is an affiliate professor at the University of Washington, a senior associate at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, and a visiting professor at the University of Strathclyde.

No remake de 2025 de Vale Tudo, o casal lésbico Cecília e Laís anda meio apagado – e tudo leva a crer que as duas vão sobreviver até o fim da novela. Mas não foi assim no original, em 1988. Ainda no meio da trama, Cecília morria num acidente de carro… e Laís tinha que lutar para ter direito à herança da mulher, décadas antes de o casamento gay ser legalizado no Brasil. Lendo o livro Os Guinle: História de uma dinastia, o repórter Tiago Coelho soube que, para criar Cecília e Laís, Gilberto Braga tinha se inspirado no drama real de um amigo, Marco Aurélio Rodrigues, que precisou disputar na justiça pela herança do companheiro, Jorge Guinle Filho. A partir de uma conversa com o viúvo – no apartamento pivô dessa disputa – Coelho conta como a história da ficção ajudou a sensibilizar a opinião pública para o problema da vida real. E, de quebra, ajuda a encontrar uma trilha sonora para os dois casais. Por Tiago Coelho. Que tal deixar a sua jornada de trabalho mais leve, criativa e menos estressante?

Esther presents two conversations you have to hear from her clinical conference, Sessions Live. Listen in as psychiatrist and narrative therapist Paul Browde traces his journey from secrecy to aliveness. Growing up queer under apartheid and later diagnosed with HIV, Browde shares how stigma, silence, and shame shaped his early life and professional path. Through storytelling, erotic healing, and spiritual practice, he reclaims pleasure not as indulgence, but as a portal to connection, presence, and transformation. Later in the episode, licensed therapist and New York Times bestselling author Nedra Glover Tawwab offers a clear, compassionate roadmap for navigating boundaries in relationships. Boundaries do not have to mean endings. In fact, boundaries can be a way for us to connect. She explores how boundary-setting is not about pushing people away but about creating the conditions for healthy connection. In a time when many feel overstretched, overwhelmed, or emotionally enmeshed, she reminds us that boundaries are a vital act of self-respect—and a necessary foundation for mutual care. These panels were recorded at Esther Perel's Annual Sessions Live event, entitled Mating in the Metacrisis: Connection, Polarization, and Eroticism in a World on Edge. For more information on the event and how you can watch it now, please go to www.estherperel.com For the month of July, Esther is offering 20% off to join her Office Hours on Apple Podcasts.
