Kelly shares insights into why some souls choose specific families, how they heal ancestral traumas, and the power of listening to these unseen connections.

Becoming a parent is a profound transformation, filled with both awe and responsibility. Midwife Lindsay Meehleis, with over two decades of experience, joins the conversation to reveal the deeper wisdom of birth, the power of intuition, and the ways medical intervention has shaped modern childbirth. Through personal reflections and expert insights, we uncover how birth is not just a medical event but a sacred rite of passage — one that requires trust, advocacy, and a return to natural wisdom. From the role of fathers in the birthing process to the cultural fears surrounding childbirth, this episode is a call to reclaim birth as an intuitive, empowering experience that shapes not only our children but our own personal growth. For the past 22 years, Lindsey Meehleis has worked in Healthcare, being called into Birthwork 20 years ago and having witnessed thousands of women birth their babies. Trained traditionally and licensed through the Medical Board, she quickly learned that what is needed in the magic and mystery of birth and death can't be found in a book. She weaves "Great Grandma Wisdom" into our modern world. She has witnessed a drastic shift in Healthcare since 2020 and looks forward to co-creating a new future of what true medicine always was. She gets down to the nitty-gritty of LIFE and everything it brings while illustrating the power that we have within, showing that birth, life, and death are pivotal rites of passage that deserve to be held in sacred deep reverence. —Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lindseymeehleis/  —Website: https://www.theremembering.com/  Resources: —Ready to transform your relationships?

Dr. McFillin analyzes the manipulation tactics employed by the pharmaceutical industry to alter our perceptions of depression and mental health. He breaks down the notorious Zoloft "blob" commercial from 2001, uncovering its powerful role in shaping public understanding of depression and how we treat it. Many of these psychological manipulation techniques are still in use today. Without awareness of these strategies, we risk falling prey to well-documented methods of mind control. The first step in this resistance isn't anger or action—it's awareness. Open your eyes. See the manipulation for what it is. Because once you can spot the strings of the puppet masters, you can begin to cut them. Your mind is your own. Guard it fiercely.Chapters00:00 Introduction: The Power of Propaganda06:48 The Infamous Zoloft Sad Blob Commercial09:16 The Medicalization of Emotions17:32 Only Your Doctor Can Diagnose Depression22:43 The Deceptive Nature of Antidepressants26:03 When You Know What Is Wrong, You Can Make It Right32:33 Reclaiming Our Collective Consciousness39:31 Conclusion: Guarding Our MindsOriginal Zoloft Commerical (2001) RADICALLY GENUINE PODCASTDr. Roger McFillin / Radically Genuine WebsiteYouTube @RadicallyGenuineDr. Roger McFillin (@DrMcFillin) / XSubstack | Radically Genuine | Dr. Roger McFillinInstagram @radicallygenuineContact Radically GenuineConscious Clinician CollectivePLEASE SUPPORT OUR PARTNERS15% Off Pure Spectrum CBD (Code: RadicallyGenuine)10% off Lovetuner click here—-----------FREE DOWNLOAD!

In this episode, Jake and Mike sit down with Dr. Chloe Carmichael, clinical psychologist and author of Nervous Energy: Harness the Power of Your Anxiety. Together, they dive into the benefits of free speech, the mental health advantages of self-expression, and the dangers of groupthink. Dr. Carmichael introduces nine practical techniques from her book to help manage anxiety, including mindfulness, emotion-based to-do lists, and mental shortlists for redirecting energy. They also examine cultural trends contributing to the overuse and medicalization of anxiety, including the financial incentives driving overdiagnosis and the diminishing role of spirituality in society. Parenting challenges, such as schools shouldering too much responsibility and limited parental involvement, are discussed as factors influencing childhood anxiety.Dr. Carmichael and Jake highlight concerns with the current mental health system, which often focuses on symptom management rather than addressing root causes. They also stress the importance of the cautious use of screening tools to prevent the pathologization of normal experiences. The conversation explores barriers to finding the right therapist, from financial limitations to insurance challenges, and concludes with a deeper look at the intersection of mental health and gun ownership. Topics such as red flag laws, cognitive dissonance in mental health diagnosis, and the shortcomings of research on gun ownership are all addressed.Send us a text

On Episode 150 of the Radically Genuine Podcast I interview Ethan Watters an investigative journalist and author. He is most widely known for his book “Crazy Like Us: The Globalization of the American Psyche” published in 2010. He has also appeared on a number of media outlets such as Good Morning America, Talk of the Nation, and CNN and written articles published in The New York Times Magazine, Spin, Details, Mother Jones, Glamour, GQ, Esquire, and the San Francisco Chronicle Magazine. Does our western conceptualization of mental illness actually create more harm than good? We explore how the export of Western mental health concepts is changing the nature of mental illness globally, examining the impact of Western narratives on depression, schizophrenia and PTSD in non-Western societies. The conversation critiques the assumption that Western therapy is universally applicable and discusses the medicalization of emotional distress in Western cultures.Chapters00:00 The Globalization of Mental Health09:28 The Cultural Construction of Mental Illness18:40 Altering Cultural Responses to Suffering25:52 The Importance of Cultural Context in Mental Health39:32 The Impact of Western Narratives on Trauma43:16 The Limitations of Western Notions of Healing45:30 The Medicalization of Emotional Distress in Western Societies47:48 Challenging the Immediate Intervention Paradigm53:19 Culture's Influence on Mental Health and Individual Choice RADICALLY GENUINE PODCASTDr. Roger McFillin / Radically Genuine WebsiteYouTube @RadicallyGenuineDr. Roger McFillin (@DrMcFillin) / XSubstack | Radically Genuine | Dr. Roger McFillinInstagram @radicallygenuineContact Radically GenuineConscious Clinician CollectivePLEASE SUPPORT OUR PARTNERS15% Off Pure Spectrum CBD (Code: RadicallyGenuine)10% off Lovetuner click here—-----------FREE DOWNLOAD!

Dr. Eric Maisel discussed the profound and often contentious issues surrounding mental health, religion, psychiatry, and the nature of human consciousness. Dr. Maisel, a prolific author and critical thinker, shares his insights on the pathologization of everyday struggles, the impact of psychiatric diagnoses, and the importance of reclaiming personal meaning and resilience. Dr. Eric Maisel is a psychotherapist, coach, teacher and author of more than 50 books that include “ Rethinking Depression: How to shed mental health labels and create personal meaning” published in 2012 , “The Future of Mental Health: Deconstructing the Mental Disorder Paradigm in 2015 and his most recent book “Redesign Your Mind” published in 2021. His contributions are diverse and vast. A lifelong atheist, Maisel described in his 2009 book The Atheist's Way: Living Well Without Gods how individuals can negotiate the paradigm shift from seeking meaning (in religion, spiritual pursuits, or anywhere else) to making meaning. Eric expresses his reservations about fully embracing higher states of consciousness and discusses the complexities of love and its potential dangers. The conversation concludes with a discussion on the history and criticisms of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM) and the medicalization of mental health. In this conversation, Dr. Roger McFillin and Dr. Eric Maisel discuss the current state of the mental health system and its impact on individuals and society. They explore the role of psychiatry in controlling and labeling individuals, the importance of embracing darkness and suffering as part of the human experience, and the need for individual and collective resistance against harmful systems. 00:00 Introduction: The Medicalization of Human Experience04:06 Guest Introduction: Dr. Eric Maisel's Background and Interests09:21 Early Experiences and Observations12:18 Personal Story: Dr. Maisel's Father14:48 Exploring the Notion of God and Meaning17:53 Observing Human Behavior and Values20:10 The Significance of Synchronicities26:23The Concept of the Soul and Unexplainable Phenomena31:07 Determining What is Right and Wrong34:34 Reflections on Meditation and Seeking Explanations37:00 Exploring Higher States of Consciousness and Love44:28 Critiques of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders56:07 The Medicalization of Mental Health01:04:35 The Role of Psychiatry in Social Control01:08:18 Resistance Against Harmful Systems01:18:47 The Future of Mental Health: Individual Efforts and Peaceful Activism*If you are in crisis or believe you have an emergency, please contact your doctor or dial 911.

We begin by imagining a world where children are separated by sex at birth and raised without exposure to traditional gender norms. We debate whether gender incongruence is a result of nature or social conditioning. We discuss gender affirming care for children, highlighting the complexity of diagnosing gender dysphoria amidst co-occurring psychiatric conditions and the potential influence of social contagion. Key insights include questioning the lack of robust evidence for the efficacy of puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones, and the need for comprehensive psychosocial care before considering medical transition.

Hi everyone,I'm excited to bring you this conversation with clinical psychologist Dr. Roger McFillin. His content on X and Substack is incredibly thought-provoking and challenges the popular medical consensus on mental health.McFillin challenges the efficacy of antidepressants and stimulants, pointing out that the placebo effect plays a significant role in their perceived effectiveness. He also emphasizes the lack of scientific evidence supporting the chemical imbalance theory of depression and the potential negative consequences of long-term use of psychiatric drugs. We also discuss the potential harm caused by antidepressants, including an increased risk of suicide, self-injury, and permanent sexual dysfunction. The third theme is the influence of pharmaceutical companies on medical guidelines and research, leading to biased and distorted information. He explains how major medical organizations in the United States are funded by biotech and pharmaceutical companies, as well as nonprofits that are pushed by pharma. He highlights the focus on drugs as healthcare in the allopathic medical model and the lack of emphasis on diet interventions and addressing root causes of poor health. Dr. McFillin also criticizes the overdiagnosis of psychiatric conditions like ADHD and the role of schools in promoting the use of medication. The Illusion of Consensus is a reader-supported podcast.

Pharmaceutical companies often have a significant influence on research, including ghostwriting and biased reporting.* Medical organizations, such as the American Academy of Pediatrics and the American Psychiatric Association, receive funding from pharmaceutical companies, leading to conflicts of interest.* The FDA's analysis of studies and approval of drugs may not always consider the risks and adverse effects.* The overprescription of ADHD medications is influenced by the mass indoctrination in education and the desire for obedience in classrooms. ADHD is a spectrum of attentional challenges, rather than a disorder.Watch Now:Apple podcastsTime-stamps:00:00 Introduction and Background03:19Awakening to the Flaws in Mainstream Mental Health Approaches05:09 Influence of Pharmaceutical Industry on Mental Health Field08:57 Lack of Efficacy and Safety of Psychiatric Drugs12:16 Prevalence and Problems with SSRIs and Stimulants28:30 Meta-Analysis on SSRIs and Suicide Risk40:21 Conflict of Interest in Research43:13 Ghostwriting and Pharmaceutical Influence45:21 Corruption in Medical Organizations48:55 Lack of Proper Analysis by FDA56:06 Overprescription of ADHD Medications01:01:48 Mass Indoctrination in Education01:10:38 The Rise of ADHD Diagnoses01:21:25 The Power of Behavioral Interventions01:26:28 The Influence of Pharmaceutical Industry and Labeling01:32:19 Understanding ADHD as a Spectrum01:43:00 The Value of Unique Skills and Abilities01:50:13 The Normalization of Attentional Challenges01:59:18 Cultivating Inner Reality and Expectations01:56:24 Depathologizing Mental Health01:59:44 The Challenges of Achievement and More02:01:06 The Value and Limitations of Labels02:03:15 Understanding ADHD on a Spectrum02:04:23The Spectrum of Trauma and PTSD02:08:10 The Mismatch Between Evolution and Modern Society02:19:19The Value and Danger of Labels02:28:39 Cultural Factors and Changing the Culture02:29:12 Future Discussions: Trauma and TreatmentsOur exciting first podcast sponsor:Alcami Elements - a premium herbal supplement for energy, focus, and concentration.

In this conversation, Nick interviews Dr. Patrick Hahn--author of multiple books, including Obedience Pills--about the nature of an ADHD diagnosis, the way that the public has been misled about it, and the problems with the most common treatments for it. Nick boldly asserts that the way that ADHD diagnoses halt the search for an actual condition explaining inattentiveness and impulsivity, and the quick prescriptions of stimulant drugs for children is a crime against humanity that we will look back upon shamefully. ✨Want to support Psychology Is?

Today's guest, Justine Deterling, founded the LGB watchdog organization Gender Health Query to create resources for parents and educators to address these concerns. In this episode, we discuss the cult-like dynamics of gender activism influencing young people's beliefs and behaviors; debunk We also touch on the role of mental health professionals in addressing the unique needs of the LGB community amidst the growing emphasis on TQ+ issues. In its quest to “affirm” the rainbow, has the counseling profession inadvertently harmed LGB people?Justine Deterling is an LGB human rights activist with a focus on pediatric transition for gender dysphoria and its effects on youth of all orientations. She founded the medical and queer theory watchdog organization Gender Health Query in 2019, which provides extensive information on these subjects and whose members protest ideological “LGBTQ+” activists corrupting media, the health professions, and education. Gender Health Query members hope people will join them in sending the message opposing extremist gender activism is not “bigotry” but a sane response to overreach. They would like people to join them in opposing indoctrinating school children and teens into radicalization and unscientific worldviews around sex and gender. GHQ is part of a larger long-term goal to create an evidence-based, supportive organization focusing on the long-term well-being of LGB people and the wider society. Justine happily lives with her partner of 26 years.Links:Gender Health QueryParent/Educator School ResourceX @justinedeterX @thehomoarchy Facebook @theh0moarchyPrevious episodes mentioned:98.

Menopause deserves care and attention! Just because it is a normal process of aging doesn't mean that women should be forced to grin and bear the multitude of symptoms that are associated with menopause not to mention the significant health consequences that are associated with the hormone decline of aging. We are in total agreement that we need to have a balance conversation around menopause and that we should very much reframe the conversation but this does not mean taking us back in time and pulling all the progress that we've made over the last 20 years since the WHI (Women's Health Initiative) trial was released, this means pressing forward with a conversation that empowers women to take full control of their menopause journey regardless of their treatment decisions. Here is the Link to the article in the Lancet to make your own informed decisions around care:https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lancet/article/PIIS0140-6736(24)00462-8/fulltextTo Follow US check out: Heather- www.theshowcenter.comJackie- https://www.mymonarchhealthco.comThe podcast- @justaskhiveHeather- @showcenterdrqJackie- @jackiep_gynnpTara @thesexualhealthpharmacist

The traditional view of mental health often focuses on the absence of mental illness, but a new theory is emerging that emphasizes the importance of neurodiversity and individual differences in the pursuit of long-term happiness. The question is, how can we reconcile the medicalization of mental health with the idea of neurodiversity and the unique strengths that come with different neurotypes?In this episode of This Anthro Life, we dive into a new perspective on mental health and well-being and how traditional models of mental illness focus only on treatment, not optimization of wellness. Ryan's work, which is detailed in his new book "Become Who You Are," offers a fresh perspective on how ancient philosophy and modern psychology intersect to address issues like anxiety and depression. He introduces the concept of "virtue signaling theory," which views traits like courage and compassion as evolutionary adaptations that helped humans navigate social hierarchies. Self-esteem evolved as a way to track social standing and regulate mood accordingly. Depression may result from a negative self-view due to lack of virtue expression.Moreover, throughout the conversation, we delved into the practical applications of Ryan's theory. He shared strategies for individuals at various points on the well-being scale, from those struggling with depression to those seeking to enhance their fulfillment in life. Ryan emphasized the importance of behavioral activation, identifying personal strengths, and creating virtue domains – areas in our lives where we can exercise and showcase our virtues. We also touched on the concept of eudaimonia, the ancient Greek term for the highest human good or "the good life," which Ryan believes is achieved through the cultivation of virtues. Ready to become who you are and find deeper happiness and fulfillment in life?

“Intersex” is often considered part of the “LGBTQIA+” community. But how do people with this condition feel about their inclusion that category?The more accurate and respectful term, “disorders of sexual development,” encompasses more than 40 different medical diagnoses. Today's guest, James Linehan, has one such DSD. Undiagnosed until age 16, hypogonadotropic hypogonadism prevented James from experiencing normal puberty. James had to undergo extensive treatment, and will forever remain a lifelong medical patient, causing a cascade of impacts on his mind, body, and relationships.James' lived experiences give him a unique perspective on today's fraught gender wars. After decades of living with his condition, James learned that his unique form of suffering is now being needlessly inflicted on vulnerable, otherwise physically healthy youth. Puberty blockers (GnRH agonists, such as Lupron), which are now commonly prescribed off-label to gender-questioning youth, induce conditions like James', raising major ethical concerns.Today we break down myths vs facts of DSDs and address what happens when identity politics and culture wars seek to appropriate real medical conditions faced by truly disadvantaged minorities. James expresses his frustration with the politicization of these conditions and the misrepresentation of the experiences of individuals with disorders of sexual development. We discuss the impact of his condition on fertility, relationships, and mental health.Throughout the episode, James challenges misconceptions and encourages listeners to approach these topics with empathy and a willingness to learn. James's story sheds light on the complexities of living with a disorder of sexual development and the resilience required to navigate the medical and emotional challenges associated with it.James Linehan is an IT and AI consulting professional with a background as an instructional resource specialist and an adjunct lecturer in sociology. He has a disorder of sexual development called hypogonadotropic hypogonadism, which he has been managing, medically, and learning about for over 40 years. James is passionate about raising awareness and understanding of diverse disorders of sexual development beyond the limited representation commonly discussed. He emphasizes the exploitation of individuals with DSDs and advocates for informed consent and ethical medical practices. He criticizes the politicization of intersex conditions and the distortion of narratives by trans activism. He wishes to share this long-term study about his condition, emphasizing that it is important to understand that Lupron causes iatrogenic hypogonadotropic hypogonadism. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4380912/Episode mentioned:30.

Medicalisation is the how human experience becomes something that needs medical attention.There are pros and cons of this including the ‘need' for medicine vs something that is being sold to us something that is unnecessary.I look at some examples in this episode and why it is something that needs consideration.Links:Ivan Illich: https://www.theguardian.com/news/2002/dec/09/guardianobituaries.highereducationSadness vs depression?: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0277953617302551#:~:text=Medicalization%20describes%20a%20process%20by,normal%20behavior%20into%20medical%20conditions.A discussion on medicalisation: https://news.harvard.edu/gazette/story/2009/04/scholars-discuss-medicalization-of-formerly-normal-characteristicsThe story behind PHQ-9 and assessing depression: https://www.medicalrepublic.com.au/strange-history-of-a-depression-screening-tool/86457Lay referral: https://bjgp.org/content/49/445/617THE HEALTH FIX (paperback version out Jan 24)!: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Health-Fix-Transform-Your-Weeks/dp/1914239296https://www.amazon.co.uk/Health-Fix-Transform-Your-Weeks/dp/1914239296 Hosted on Acast.

The biomedical model views mental disorders as brain diseases and emphasizes pharmacological treatments to address presumed biological abnormalities. This biologically focused approach has dominated the American healthcare system for decades, leading to an increase in psychiatric medication use and a perception of mental disorders as brain diseases caused by chemical imbalances. Brett Deacon serves as an Associate Professor and Program Convener for Clinical Psychology at the University of Melbourne, Australia. His academic journey includes obtaining a PhD in clinical psychology from Northern Illinois University, followed by a postdoctoral fellowship at the Mayo Clinic. Over the past 15 years, he has contributed to academia and dedicated five years to full-time private practice.With expertise in two key areas, Brett is recognized for his proficiency in exposure therapy for anxiety. Notably, he co-authored the book "Exposure Therapy for Anxiety: Principles and Practice" (2nd edition), published by Guilford Press in 2019. His second area of focus revolves around critiquing psychiatry's biomedical model of "mental illness." His research encompasses the efficacy of antidepressants, publication bias in antidepressant trials, the impact of perceiving depressive experiences through a biomedical lens, and the validity and societal implications of the biomedical model.The biomedical model of mental disorder: A critical analysis of its validity, utility, and effects on psychotherapy researchNote: This podcast episode is designed solely for informational and educational purposes, without endorsing or promoting any specific medical treatments.

In this episode – with the 2024 edition of Vital announced and officially on sale – we're launching another series of Vital Psychedelic Conversations, with David hosting Jasmine Virdi: Vital instructor, writer, educator, and activist who works at Synergetic Press and volunteers for Fireside Project; and Tabata Gerk: Vital student, psychotherapist, and facilitator. As always, they discuss what they think the most vital conversation should be right now, largely expressing concerns over the medicalization of psychedelics and the idea of a ‘traumadelic culture,' where psychedelics are often only seen as healers of trauma and not doorways to mysticism and new ideas. And they point out another concern: the romanization of Indigenous culture and not recognizing that these are contemporary cultures that are affected by the same Western, capitalist paradigms that affect us all. They also discuss the concept of epistemic injustice and needing to respect other ways of knowing; hyper-individualism and why we became so reductionist as a society; the role of money (who defines the problem and the solution?); concerns over who decides who is allowed to use these substances; the power of small steps of change; and, through talking about Gerk's recent Amazonian ayahuasca experience, they dig into what it is about these experiences and surrounding communities that make them so special. Could we take some of that and effectively incorporate it into our Western models? Click here to head to the show notes page. 

Author Xinyan Wu discusses the article, "Parallel Development: Medicalization and Decriminalization in the Changing Media Framing of the Opioid Overdose Crisis" published in Socius: Sociological Research for a Dynamic World.

We live in an era where the preferred treatment for most health issues, including sexual problems, is increasingly a pill. However, this medicalized approach frequently overlooks the root cause. At their core, sex problems often stem from feelings of shame or guilt, inadequate sex ed, and mistaken ideas about what's "normal" with regard to sex and the human body. In today's show, we're going to discuss the problem with overmedicalizing sex problems, as well as the tricky business of defining what constitutes a sexual “disorder” in the first place. I am joined once again by Dr. Cynthia Graham, a professor of gender studies at Indiana University and a senior scientist at the Kinsey Institute. She has been editor-in-chief of the Journal of Sex Research since 2009. Her current research focuses on male condom use, hormonal contraceptives, women's sexuality, women's sexual pleasure, sexual problems, and sexual health among older adults. Some of the questions we discuss in this episode include: What do we mean when we say the "medicalization of sex?" How can searching for a biomedical cure to all sexual difficulties be problematic? How has the conceptualization of sexual disorders changed over time? Is it even possible to create objective definitions of sexual disorders? How common are sexual difficulties, really? To stay connected, you can find Cynthia on Twitter. Thank you to our sponsors!

In this episode of the Psychedelic Podcast, Paul F. Austin welcomes Christian Angermayer, a serial entrepreneur and investor in psychedelics, longevity, fintech, crypto, and future tech. Get full show notes, links, and transcript here: https://thethirdwave.co/podcast/episode-207-christian-angermayer/ Christian is a notable figure in the field of psychedelic medicine, both respected and controversial. He has been a driving force in pushing psilocybin toward FDA-approval. But his company atai Life Science's psychedelic patents have drawn criticism from decriminalization-first advocates. Some wonder if the medical approach to psychedelics conflicts with the idea of open access and shamanic usage. Christian delves into this question, examining opposing views and exploring other dichotomies, such as whether capitalism and spirituality can coexist in the realm of psychedelics. He also considers the potential conflict between the search for psychedelic wisdom and the desire for immortality. Christian's conversation with Paul presents a new perspective on psychedelics, exploring nuanced topics and questioning the future of psychedelic biotech, microdosing, and longevity science. Christian Angermayer: Christian Angermayer is a serial entrepreneur and investor who builds and invests in companies that are shaping the Next Human Agenda: a future in which technology empowers people to live longer, healthier, and happier lives. Christian's family office and private investment firm, Apeiron Investment Group, has more than USD 2.5 billion under management and 50 people across five international locations. Apeiron focuses on Life Sciences, FinTech & Crypto, Future Tech and Experiences, and Hospitality & Happiness. Over the past 20 years, Christian has founded three unicorns and has been the lead investor in four unicorns and two decacorns. Christian is the world's largest investor in psychedelics and is recognized for leading the current psychedelics renaissance. He founded atai Life Sciences, investigating the potential of psychedelic compounds including psilocybin, ketamine, DMT, and ibogaine as approved medical treatments. Highlights: Exploring psychedelics and the evolution of organized religion. The parallels between ancient psychedelic traditions and modern medicalization. An argument for democratizing psychedelic access through centralization. Christian's thoughts on creating a regulated framework for microdosing. Optimism about longevity research and extended lifespans. Overcoming deeply-rooted fears and embracing the concept of a long life.

In The Prescription-To-Prison Pipeline: The Medicalization and Criminalization of Pain (Duke UP, 2023), Michelle Smirnova argues that the ongoing opioid drug epidemic is the result of an endless cycle in which suffering is medicalized and drug use is criminalized. Drawing on interviews with eighty incarcerated individuals in Missouri correctional institutions, Smirnova shows how contradictions in medical practices, social ideals, and legal policies disproportionately criminalize the poor for their social condition. This criminalization further exacerbates and perpetuates drug addiction and poverty. Tracing the processes by which social issues are constructed as biomedical ones that necessitate pharmacological intervention, Smirnova highlights how inequitable surveillance, policing, and punishment of marginalized populations intensify harms associated with both treatment and punishment, especially given that the distinctions between the two have become blurred. By focusing on the stories of people whose pain and pharmaceutical treatment led to incarceration, Smirnova challenges the binary of individual and social problems, effectively exploring how the conceptualization, diagnosis, and treatment of substance use may exacerbate outcomes such as relapse, recidivism, poverty, abuse, and death.

Over the past century women's bodies have been over medicalized as a band aid solution to silence our menstrual symptoms and gynecological issues. Yet women's bodies and hormonal systems are not always taken into consideration in medical research and doctors are not being trained in hormone balancing (listening and investigating root causes). So how can we expect women to know and trust their body when those we seek advice from don't really understand it either? The silent hormone epidemic does not only affect our health as women, but it is leaving us confused, self-doubting and judgemental to other women. I truly believe that because we have been ignored and our experiences have been minimized, we in return have taken this emotional imprinting and added to the sisterhood wound we see in our daily life. The wound of thinking that other women should push through their symptoms, that we are to not ask for help or rest and that to be valuable and equal we need to sacrifice our health. In this episode, I will share some of my own lived experience of how I stayed silent for so long in my life and what my big vision is for the future - women holding space for others women to be cyclical and judgment free. So join me as we unpack how medicine has made us feel broken and how our next womb-led tip of bringing back the felt sense of the red tent can be the first step to healing women, the sisterhood wound, and getting us all back to cyclical living.

James Connolly is a film producer (most recently - Sacred Cow), co-host of the Sustainable Dish podcast, avid reader, and passionate about food. It's hard to encapsulate this conversation in a description - we cover a lot of ground. At its core, it's the broad strokes of just how we ended up in our current paradigm. We start about 150 years ago, where we follow threads of the move from rural to urban environments and how the idea of ‘cleanliness' begins to take hold. We cover the Great Grain Robbery and the formation of commodities that would change the agricultural world and how technology has played a role in these early formation of food systems and how it's playing a role now, leading into a conversation of techno-utopias. James covers school systems, as someone who has run a non-profit for schools in New York, and how we're taught what to think, not how to think and the compulsory education experiment. We also dive into the history of medicalizing the human experience using some personal anecdotes around grief to explore the world of psychiatric medication and beyond. All of this leads into a discussion of the techno-utopia that we're often being marketed and the shape of the current food system. It's a big, rolling conversation filled with all the book recommendations you need to keep it going.We also talk about: Butchery through the lens of two butchersThe vilification of meat Effective Altruism & so much more (seriously, so much more)Timestamps: 09:30: The Sanitization of Humanity 18:54: The Poison Squad33:03: The Great Grain Robbery + Commodities 44:24: Techno-Utopias The Genesis of the Idea that Technology is the Answer55:01: Tunnel Vision in Technology, Carbon, and Beyond1:02:00: Food in Schools and Compulsory Education1:11:00: Medicalization of Human Experience1:51:00: Effective Altruism 2:11:00: Butchery 2:25:00: More Techno-Utopias Find James: Twitter: @jamescophoto Instagram: @primatekitchenPodcast: Sustainable Dish Reading/Watching List The Invention of Capitalism by Michael PerelmanDaniel Quinn's WorksThe Poison Squad by Deborah BlumMister Jones (film)Shibumi by Trevanian Dumbing Us Down: the Hidden Curriculum of Compulsory Schooling by John Taylor GattoThree Identical Strangers (film)Related Mind, Body, and Soil Episodes:

“If it ain't broke, don't fix it.” It's a saying you've probably heard before, but today's episode puts a spin on it and places it in the context of mental health: “If it's not ‘wrong,' don't try to fix it as if it is.” Tune in to discover: How and why psychiatric diagnoses have become more like labels that act as consumer brands rather than scientifically-based medical diagnoses The power of labeling and its effect on self-perception and perception of others The definition of meta-emotions and how people experience them How developmental expectations of adolescents and young adults differ between cultures, and the conflict they can create within the person who is held to those expectations The critical difference between ordinary, understandable emotions and clinical conditions perceived as “wrong” and in need of medical treatment Dr. Sami Timimi is a consultant child and adolescent psychiatrist who has worked at National Health Service in the UK his entire working life. He's been involved with several research projects involving mental health and cross-cultural issues, and has contributed to the publication of a dozen books, in addition to many papers and journal articles. He frequently appears in national and international conferences on matters of mental health, and teaches and trains others in his area of expertise. In the early 90s during his medical training, Dr. Timimi completed a placement in child and adolescent psychiatry, a field that at the time saw children and young people as connected to their history and broader environment (e.g., their parents, peer groups, cultural ideas). It was nothing like what he'd seen in general psychiatric wards, which he describes as dominated by a narrow medicalized approach as opposed to a truly therapeutic approach that embraces a broader understanding of how mental health problems are identified, characterized, and addressed. For over two decades now, Dr. Timimi has immersed himself in this field as a practicing child and adolescent psychiatrist. In this episode, he discusses everything from the way cultural and societal expectations and assumptions shape the way we perceive our own experience and the experience of others, to how ideas popularized by many in the psychiatric profession actually contribute to increased rates of distress and feelings of alienation in young adults (especially in the context of the current virus situation). He also explains how certain treatments given for a short-term problem can actually cause it to become a long-term problem.   But it's not all bad. Tune in to learn about some extremely successful models for addressing even the most serious mental issues; chances are, you've never heard of them before.

In today's episode, Emma tells her story of being groomed into transgender ideology at the Rhode Island School of Design in 2015. Emma says she could “fill the bingo card of all the things that make you vulnerable to trans ideology”: history of eating disorders, bisexually, and surviving sexual abuse to name a few. When Emma first encountered gender ideology, she was skeptical and even argued for women's rights, but when she entered the full-time academic environment of an elite art school, she was encouraged to hate her body and to believe all her problems would go away if she could become a man. Almost as quickly as she fell under the spell of trans ideology, she realized she would never, no matter what she did to her body, transform into a man. Emma touches on the curious phenomenon of white middle class women becoming nonbinary and how she traces her identify confusion to her own adoption. As a bonus, you'll get to hear some of our cringey art school projects from before we deprogrammed. Emma shares alternatives to medicalization, relevant to anyone battling disassociation and disembodiment.

As Colorado's Natural Medicine Health Act goes to voters, it's the perfect time to consider how powerful psychedelic molecules should enter mainstream consciousness. Today on Life is a Festival Ismail Lourido Ali, Director of Policy and Advocacy for the Multidisciplinary Association of Psychedelic Studies (MAPS) explains the various pathways to legalization including the Decriminalization movement, medicalization, religious exception, and legal adult use. The first half of our conversation is dedicated to Ismail himself, whose life journey gives him a unique philosophy on ending prohibition and a toolkit for helping us get there. We open with Ismail's cultural identity and his spiritual journey from Islam to the rave scene. We discuss Izzy's exploration of queerness and gender identity and his work from Drug Policy Reform to becoming a lawyer for MAPS. Izzy clearly articulates the key paths to legalization and his philosophy around each. We discuss key pieces of legislation including California's SB 519, Colorado's Natural Medicine Health Act which goes to voters in this month, and Oregon's Bill 109 which will legalize and regulate adult use of psilocybin in that state. We conclude our conversation with an invitation to psychedelic entrepreneurs and Izzy's personal perspective on why Life is a Festival. As MAPS' Director of Policy and Advocacy, Ismail advocates to eliminate barriers to psychedelic therapy and research, develops and implements legal and policy strategy, and supports MAPS' governance, non-profit, and ethics work. Ismail earned his J.D. at the University of California, Berkeley School of Law in 2016, after receiving his bachelor's in philosophy from California State University, Fresno. Ismail has previously worked for the ACLU of Northern California's Criminal Justice & Drug Policy Project, and Berkeley Law's International Human Rights Law Clinic. Ismail is licensed to practice law in the state of California, and is a founding board member of the Psychedelic Bar Association. He also currently serves on the board of the Sage Institute, contributes to Chacruna Institute's Council for the Protection of Sacred Plants, and participates on the advisory council for the Ayahuasca Defense Fund. Ismail is passionate about setting sustainable groundwork for a just, equitable, and generative post-prohibition world.

This is a talk that Dr. H gave in Denver at the Nowak Society in Aug. 2022. Medicalization and/or legalization of psilocybin is likely coming to Colorado soon, with other psychedelics soon to follow. This will foster both a new era of psychiatric treatments and psychospiritual exploration, as well as a significant increase in adverse psychiatric events, including psychotic breaks. Dr. H explores the various classes of psychedelics (cannabinoids, tryptamines, phenethylamines, ketamine, e.g.) and assesses their relative risk of triggering psychosis, how and why polypharmacy (particularly with THC) greatly magnifies risk of developing psychosis, and the complex interplay between genetic vulnerability for psychosis/schizophrenia and the use of various psychoactive drugs.

In Hospital Land USA: Sociological Adventures in Medicalization (Routledge, 2016), Wendy Simonds analyzes the wide-reaching powers of medicalization: the dynamic processes by which medical authorities, institutions, and ideologies impact our everyday experiences, culture, and social life. Simonds documents her own Hospital Land adventures and draws on a wide range of U.S. cultural representations — from memoirs to medical mail, from hospital signs to disaster movies — in order to urge critical thinking about conventional notions of care, health, embodiment, identity, suffering, and mortality. This book is intended for general readers, medical practitioners, undergraduate and graduate students in courses on medical sociology, medicine, medical ethics, nursing, public health, carework, visual culture, cultural studies, and gerontology. Michael O. Johnston, Ph.D. is an Assistant Professor of Sociology at William Penn University. He is the author of Community Media Representations of Place and Identity at Tug Fest: Reconstructing the Mississippi River (Lexington, 2022). His general area of study is on media representations people and place at festivals and celebrations. His next book project is on research that he conducted about a canoeing and kayaking event that occurs annually on the Upper Mississippi River. To learn more about Michael O.
