▶️ START YOU 7 DAY RESET HERE - www.therebuiltman.com/7dayreset   Most men who can't focus don't have ADHD... They have a porn problem. And it's frying their brain's ability to stay motivated, focused, and driven.   In this episode of The Rebuilt Man, Coach Frank Rich exposes the truth behind dopamine dysregulation and how compulsive porn use hijacks your mind. What most men label as ADHD is often the byproduct of years of artificial dopamine spikes from porn, junk food, social media, and other modern addictions.   If you've ever wondered why you can't finish what you start... Why you can't sit still and focus on meaningful work... Or why life feels dull unless you're chasing the next quick hit...   This is the episode that will flip your perspective.   You'll learn: Why dopamine — not willpower — is the key to your focus How porn creates ADHD-like symptoms in your brain Why medication rarely fixes the real problem Practical daily steps to rebuild your focus, drive, and energy How community and daily action rewire your brain for purpose   If you're done blaming your brain and ready to fix the real root cause, this episode will give you the playbook to get started.   ✅ Key Takeaways: Most men's “ADHD” is really dopamine dysregulation caused by porn. Porn hijacks your brain's reward system, making real life feel boring. The ADHD label often masks an addiction to stimulation. Quitting porn and resetting dopamine can reverse focus issues. Medication treats symptoms but rarely solves the core problem. Daily goal setting and small wins rebuild motivation. Exercise, cold exposure, and deep work are natural dopamine resets. Brotherhood and community connection help rewire your mind for purpose.

In this insightful episode of Skin Anarchy, Dr. Ekta sits down with board-certified dermatologist, author, and longevity advocate Dr. Doris Day to unpack what it really means to age beautifully — inside and out. With decades of experience bridging medical reporting and clinical practice, Dr. Day shares why skin is so much more than what we see in the mirror: it's a reflection of our total health and vitality.Dr. Day explains why lasting beauty begins with good habits — quality sleep, smart nutrition, stress balance, and mindful movement — before any injectable or skincare product ever touches our face. She dives into why injectables like Botox work best when paired with a careful, customized approach that considers bone structure, muscle dynamics, and skin condition. Her biggest rule? Results should always look natural and authentic, never frozen.The conversation also explores today's hottest trends — from the reality of “Ozempic face” and rapid weight loss to K-beauty's multi-treatment craze — and how to protect skin from unintended consequences. Dr. Day breaks down how smart planning, collagen support, and thoughtful biostimulatory treatments can help preserve facial structure during big changes.She also gives us a glimpse of her upcoming longevity skincare project focused on fibroblast health and stem cell protection — the next frontier for keeping skin resilient as we age. If you want to understand the science behind aging gracefully and make better choices for your skin, this is one episode you don't want to miss.

As a paramedic, Rachel spent many years supporting others through medical and mental health emergencies. And although she was trained to recognise the signs of mental ill health in others, it was something she never imagined she would experience herself - that is, until she fell pregnant. Known for being someone who doesn't cry, Rachel was unexpectedly confronted by crippling anxiety, an overwhelming sadness, uncontrollable sobbing, and a paralysing sense of hopelessness that didn't go away until her daughter was born. For the ‘helper' who usually looks after others, she was left feeling disoriented. In this moving episode, Rachel speaks candidly about her lived experience with hyperemesis gravidarum and the antenatal depression and anxiety that overshadowed her pregnancy. Together, we explore: the shame that can accompany perinatal mental ill health and how it delays recovery the uphill battle many mothers face by constantly being told their symptoms are ‘normal' why mental health care should not be limited to postpartum the crucial role of our loved ones in recovery, and how the right support can make all the difference. Rachel's story is a powerful reminder of the often-overlooked importance of mental health care during pregnancy. It's a story about hope and finding light at the end of the tunnel. Above all, it's a story about the power of sharing your experiences openly, asking for help, and advocating for yourself.   EPISODE SPONSOR This episode of Perinatal Stories Australia is proudly sponsored by Mums Matter Psychology—because your mental health matters.

Story at-a-glance Medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ) is a serious condition where jawbone dies and fails to heal, and it's been linked to common bone drugs like bisphosphonates and denosumab A Finnish study found that people taking denosumab were five times more likely to develop MRONJ than those using bisphosphonates, with cancer patients and long-term users at highest risk Adding corticosteroids to bone drugs significantly worsened outcomes, multiplying the risk of jaw disease by up to six times in some users MRONJ often begins after dental procedures like extractions, but it also develops in people with gum disease or dentures — even without dental intervention Preventive dental care, a nutrient-rich diet, and lifestyle habits that support natural bone repair offer your best defense against this disfiguring and painful condition

Today we open a field of inquiry and healing around women's mental health, reclaiming wholeness, and reshaping the way we understand treatment, addiction, and embodiment.Our guest is Dr. Stacy Cohen, a double board-certified psychiatrist, addiction specialist, and founder of The Moment Health, a revolutionary holistic health and wellness clinic that integrates science, soul, and social impact.What drew me to Dr. Cohen's work is not only her clinical depth, but her fiercely compassionate, woman-centered lens, a lens that acknowledges that mental health and also addiction looks different in women, that healing must honor biology and story, and that reclaiming joy, clarity, and inner coherence is a personal, political, and spiritual act.As someone who has walked this path of healing myself, I know the power of what happens when we shift from symptom management to soul-based medicine.This conversation is not merely about treatment, it is about remembering what wholeness feels like, and choosing it again.Episode highlights:[02:00] What “fragmentation” looks like in traditional psychiatry[04:00] How The Moment Health was born[05:45] Building a collaborative care team rooted in interdependence[08:00] Why addiction and mental health look different in women[10:00] The clinical blind spot around hormones, perimenopause, and gynecological factors[13:30] Cultural differences in how menopause is experienced[16:00] Psychedelics and the danger of one-size-fits-all thinking[20:00] Embracing the middle passage: Stillness as power[23:00] The importance of interconnection between women and men[26:30] Why Dr. Cohen brought ketamine therapy into her practice[29:30] Addiction psychiatry, recovery culture, and psychedelics[33:30] Healing trauma and reinterpreting AA for female empowerment[36:00] Embracing the lioness: Anger, motherhood, and power[38:00] Returning to ancestral ways of raising children[41:00] The power of play, embodiment, and creative self-expression[43:30] Embracing duality: Complexity and simplicity in healing[44:00] Repainting the system: A new vision for women's mental health[48:00] Practical first steps for reclaiming your mental health[49:30] Honoring postmenopausal women and the second springResources mentioned:Dr Stacy Cohenhttps://www.stacycohenmd.com/The Moment Healthhttps://www.themomenthealth.com/who-we-areThe Middle Passage by James HollisAmazon: https://www.amazon.com/Middle-Passage-From-Misery-Meaning/dp/0919123600Goodreads: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/66679.The_Middle_PassageInternal Family Systems (IFS) – Richard SchwartzIFS Institute official site: https://ifs-institute.comIntro video on YouTube by Richard Schwartz: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=99NF6K8vN00Gateway Sciences / Gateway ClinicGateway Sciences: https://gatewaysciences.comGateway Clinic page: https://gatewaysciences.com/clinicSOCIAL MEDIALinkedInhttps://www.linkedin.com/company/the-moment-by-dr-stacy-cohenInstagram https://www.instagram.com/themomenthealth/Facebook https://www.facebook.com/themomenthealth/

Today we're talking about obesity medication. Did you know that over 200 illnesses are linked to unhealthy weight gain? It's no surprise that combatting obesity has become a major focus of modern medical research. In recent years, this research has led to a new generation of weight-loss medications that are delivering dramatic results. But are these drugs truly revolutionary or just too good to be true? One thing is certain - people have a lot of questions. Today, I'm joined by Dr. Lou Aronne to help us separate the hype from the hard facts.

In this informative and compassionate episode, Bonnie breaks down the rising popularity of GLP-1 medications (like Ozempic, Wegovy, and Mounjaro) specifically as they relate to weight loss. She dives deep into how they work, why they're being so widely prescribed, what the research actually says, and the often-overlooked risks and implications, especially around nutrition, food noise, and long-term health. Whether you're considering a GLP-1, currently on one, or feeling confused and conflicted, this episode offers grounded insights, body autonomy, and a non-judgmental space for informed decision-making.In this episode, you'll learn:How GLP-1 medications work to suppress appetite and delay stomach emptyingThe key difference in dosing between diabetes management and weight loss useWhy weight regain is common after stopping these medicationsThe connection between GLP-1 use, food noise, and eating disordersWhy prioritizing nutrition is critical—especially if you're using a GLP-1What this movement gets right—and what it missesRisks, side effects, and long-term unknowns of GLP-1 useHow to do a personal risk-benefit analysis rooted in body autonomyQuestions answered in this episode:What are GLP-1 medications, and why are they being used for weight loss?How do these drugs affect hunger, fullness, and food thoughts?Are there side effects or long-term risks with using GLP-1s for weight loss?What does the research actually say about their effectiveness and safety?Can these meds be harmful for someone with a history of disordered eating?What should I consider if I'm thinking about starting (or stopping) a GLP-1?How can I support a friend or loved one who is on one of these medications?Mentioned in this episode:Listen to episode 173: Quiet The Food Noise: 3 Ways Intuitive Eating Can HelpGLP-1 Informed Consent from Medical Students for Size Inclusivity DownloadFollow Regan Chastain's work: https://weightandhealthcare.substack.com/ Ready to Heal Your Relationship with Food?My team of registered dietitians is now accepting insurance for one-on-one nutrition counseling!

Send in a question or comment via text.I get asked about medication every single day. Can you get better without it? Is it necessary? What's the best one? Is it cheating to take medication?Today I'm explaining why I don't answer these questions - and why you should be cautious about content creators who do.In this episode, I cover:The three main reasons mental health content creators shouldn't give medication adviceWhy personal beliefs and autonomy matter more than you might thinkThe countless variables that make medication decisions incredibly complexWhy your recovery journey changes over time (and so do your needs)What qualifications actually matter when it comes to psychiatric medicationsA better approach to getting the medication support you needThe reality is this: There are too many personal, medical, cultural, and lifestyle factors that go into medication decisions for any podcaster, YouTuber, or social media creator to give you meaningful advice. Even as a therapist specializing in anxiety disorders, there are clear boundaries I must respect.This doesn't mean your questions aren't valid - they absolutely are. It means you deserve qualified, ongoing professional support for these important decisions, not one-size-fits-all answers from someone who doesn't know your specific situation.Whether you use medication or not, the principles of anxiety recovery remain the same. You can't make a wrong choice because you can always change course as you learn and grow.For full show notes on this episode:https://theanxioustruth.com/320My medication story:https://theanxioustruth.com/145https://theanxioustruth.com/146https://theanxioustruth.com/147Support The Anxious Truth: If you find the podcast helpful and want to support my work, you can buy me a coffee.

For as long as people have been getting pregnant, they’ve also been figuring out how to get un-pregnant. A self-managed abortion (SMA) is when a person ends their pregnancy outside of the formal medical system. Most often, self-managed abortions are done as “medication abortions” — abortions induced by medication. In this episode of The Beautiful... Read Full Article

We're continuing our summer throwback series with a powerful episode that's simply too important to leave behind. While we're taking a short break this summer, we'll be resurfacing some of our most impactful conversations — the ones that made us think, challenged the status quo, and sparked meaningful dialogue. Today's rerun is one of those episodes. Originally aired as Episode 72, this conversation with Jessica Setnick dives headfirst into the controversial 2023 guidelines issued by the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP). These guidelines made headlines — and not in a good way. Recommending behavioral interventions and even weight loss medications and surgery for children as young as 2, 12, and 13, respectively, the AAP ignited a firestorm of concern within the eating disorder treatment community. Jessica, a fierce advocate and long-time voice in the eating disorder field, joins me to unpack what these guidelines really say, why they're so troubling, and how they reflect a deeper cultural problem rooted in weight stigma. We question authority, untangle complex motivations (hello, pharma profits), and explore what weight-inclusive, ethical pediatric care should actually look like. In this episode, we're talking about: Why the AAP's new guidelines on pediatric weight management are sparking outrage in the eating disorder community. The alarming recommendations to introduce weight loss medications by age 12 and surgery by 13. The pervasive weight stigma built into these guidelines, including the problematic use of BMI as a screening tool. How profit motives, particularly from big pharma, may be influencing the creation of these “medical” guidelines. The real consequences of these interventions: malnutrition, stunted growth, cognitive impacts, and the risk of lifelong eating disorders. The false logic that shrinking a child's body will reduce weight stigma and why that belief is not just wrong, but dangerous. The importance of separating weight from health, and why any medical concerns should be treated based on symptoms, not size. How weight changes can be relevant when viewed contextually, but should never be the sole focus of medical intervention. Why trusting your gut and challenging medical advice is not only okay, but it might be necessary for protecting your child's wellbeing. Where to find weight-inclusive providers and what to ask when choosing a new pediatrician. Tweetable Quotes “Anyone who works in the eating disorder field at all – and probably many humans – knows multiple people, if not themselves, who have had failed weight loss interventions when they were children that then resulted in bigger problems.” – Jessica Setnick “The key is not to just single out the big kids. Any kid with an eating disorder should be evaluated. Any kid with a medical condition should be evaluated.” – Jessica Setnick “Shrinking children does not change their medical conditions.” – Jessica Setnick “‘Does my child have a medical condition, or are you saying my child is too big? Because if it's a medical condition, we'd like to get treatment independent of his size. But if you're saying his size is a problem, that's not a conversation I'm willing to have.'” – Jessica Setnick Resources AAP Clinical Practice Guideline for the Evaluation and Treatment of Children and Adolescents With Obesity News release for the AAP new guidelines Understanding Disordered Eating, Ep. 30: Eating Disorders are the Solution Not the Problem with Jessica Setnick, MS, RD, CEDRD-S Jessica on Facebook  Jessica on Instagram  Jessica Setnick: Understanding Nutrition Jessica's Website Grab my Journal Prompts Here!

Navigating the complex landscape of patient safety requires vigilance, knowledge, and adaptability. Today's episode takes us on a journey through two critical safety concerns that exemplify the challenges anesthesiologists face in diverse clinical settings.We begin with an eye-opening exploration of cosmetic surgery safety in Colombia, which has emerged as a top global destination for aesthetic procedures. Despite performing nearly 500,000 cosmetic surgeries annually, Colombia faces alarming safety statistics—mortality rates potentially ten times higher than global averages for anesthesia-related deaths. This stark disparity highlights how regulatory gaps, substandard facilities, and inadequate patient selection can create perfect storms for adverse outcomes. The discussion illuminates how anesthesiologists can serve as safety champions by implementing rigorous standards and protocols.The conversation then pivots to a surprisingly common yet overlooked danger in pediatric anesthesia: the administration of oxymetazoline. What seems like a routine medication becomes hazardous when delivery systems designed for upright, conscious patients are used on supine, anesthetized children. Through practical demonstrations and creative problem-solving, we uncover how simple modifications to delivery methods—specifically using atomizers with precisely filled syringes—can prevent potentially dangerous overdoses and create standardized, position-independent dosing.Both topics underscore a central theme: anesthesia safety demands thoughtful adaptation of standards to fit unique circumstances. Whether dealing with international variations in practice or the specialized needs of pediatric patients, the commitment to "no one shall be harmed by anesthesia care" requires constant vigilance and innovation. We'd love to hear your experiences with similar challenges—have you encountered safety variations in different practice settings, or developed creative solutions to common problems?

This week on Fat Science, Dr. Emily Cooper, Andrea Taylor, and Mark Wright break down the essentials of a true metabolic workup. This episode moves beyond social media diet trends and digs into the science behind comprehensive lab panels, what they measure, and why they matter for your whole-body health. Dr. Cooper explains how to interpret common and advanced metabolic markers—like blood sugar, insulin, cholesterol, hormone levels, and more—while Andrea and Mark share personal insights into the power of understanding your metabolic baseline. If you're concerned about weight, diabetes, or just want to know your numbers, this episode gives you the knowledge to talk confidently with your healthcare provider.Key Takeaways:A whole-body metabolic approach goes beyond just weight or blood pressure—comprehensive lab work (plus family history) is essential to uncover risks or dysfunction early.Standard blood panels provide useful clues (glucose, cholesterol, liver, kidney, blood pressure), but advanced tests (A1C, lipid particles, hormone levels, inflammation markers) round out the picture.Metabolic dysfunction is driven by factors far deeper than calories in/out—dieting and under-fueling can actually weaken metabolism over time.Medication for metabolic health is not a failure; it's a science-backed intervention. Early and accurate testing allows for better, evidence-based treatment.Don't ignore “borderline” results—addressing issues early is easier and more effective than trying to reverse advanced dysfunction later.Personal Stories & Practical Advice:Andrea recounts her life-changing journey from endless dieting to real answers through complete metabolic testing and individualized treatment.Mark highlights the need for patients to advocate for themselves and ask for more than just the standard panel at annual exams.References:Diet Failure Rate• Mann, T., et al.

In this episode, we talk about how healthcare practitioners give medicine through a vein, and a way that healthcare organizations can make it safer for patients. We'll discuss why ready-to-administer medications are safer, and what patients, caregivers, and healthcare workers should know.

In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Christle Guevarra—physician, strength athlete, and co-author of Bodybuilding Anatomy—to unpack the truth about GLP-1 medications like semaglutide & tirzepatide, how they impact muscle mass and metabolism, and what coaches and clients over 40 need to know. We talk about bone density, strength training differences between men and women, how to coach someone on GLP-1s responsibly, and why mindset—not just macros—makes or breaks long-term success.

Ozempic is one of the most import new medications in a generation. The scientist who created it is a self-described "nerd," who grew up on a farm in Denmark and has no interest in the limelight. Lotte Knudsen started her career working on laundry detergent enzymes, but eventually joined a team at the Danish pharmaceutical company Novo Nordisk that was tasked with looking for new treatments for diabetes. She was convinced that a recently discovered human hormone called GLP-1 could be made into a powerful medication, not only for Type 2 diabetes, but also for weight loss. It took 20 years of hard work and persistence for her and her team to figure it out, but their creation now shows promise as a worthy foe of heart disease, kidney disease, Parkinson's, alcoholism & Alzheimer's as well. In this episode Lotte Knudsen tells her story, and we hear from two of the other scientists who made critical contributions to this revolution in medicine: Mads Thomsen and Daniel Drucker.

In this episode, we dive into the buzzy world of GLP-1 medications (like Ozempic, Wegovy, and Mounjaro) and how they might do more than just curb appetite, they might help you lose the desire to drink altogether. Dr. Brooke breaks down the science behind how these medications impact your brain's reward system and why they might be a game-changer for the sober-curious. ✨ HIGHLIGHTS: – What exactly are GLP-1s, and how do they work in the body – How these meds may reduce alcohol cravings and “cut the loop” of reward-seeking – Why people on GLP-1s often feel like their drinking habits shift naturally – The double-edged sword: why it's not a magic bullet and how deeper healing still matters – The future of biohacking sobriety with food, supplements, and yes—medications

For a more than a century, the Food and Drug Administration has worked to protect public health. In his research, Harvard University physician-researcher Jerry Avorn has examined how the FDA's once-rigorous gold standard approval process has been affected by a powerful shortcut known as the Accelerated Approval Program—originally designed for desperate AIDS and cancer patients. He says that change in the 1990s has allowed more than half of all new drugs onto the market before drug companies have proven they actually help people.In his new book Rethinking Medications: Truth, Power and the Drugs We Take, Avorn cites numerous examples: from a cold medicine that doesn't de-congest to billion-dollar cancer treatments that only shrink lab results to the controversial Alzheimer's drug Aduhelm—approved despite no clear cognitive benefits. In this episode, Avorn explores whether some prescriptions in your medicine cabinet are safe, effective and worth the money.

Chris Gloude, APRN, has been a nurse practitioner for 6 years. Prior to that, he worked as a paramedic and nurse, with a total of 17 years of experience in the medical field. He currently practices in cardiology and also has experience in internal medicine. Chris has personally struggled with obesity since childhood. His journey with the ketogenic and later carnivore diet began after being diagnosed with ulcerative colitis in 2015. He was initially prescribed oral medications, which only worsened his symptoms. It wasn't until a colleague introduced him to the ketogenic diet that he began to feel better. Over the years, he followed the diet intermittently but consistently felt his best while adhering to it. In addition to his physical health challenges, Chris also struggled with depression and anxiety, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic. During that time, he was prescribed Lexapro and Xanax. It wasn't until he fully embraced the ketogenic lifestyle that he was able to successfully wean off these medications and achieve lasting improvements in both his physical and mental health. Chris is currently working in cardiology, a field where the ketogenic diet is often viewed with skepticism. However, he draws from his personal and professional experience to take a different approach. He incorporates knowledge of nutrition, stress management, and overall health to engage patients in meaningful conversations about the root causes of their symptoms. Rather than defaulting to testing or medication, he prioritizes lifestyle changes and shared decision-making to create a more personalized and sustainable path to wellness.
