In this episode of In the Circle, I respond to a courageous and heartfelt inquiry from Barbara. She asks: How do I make peace with taking medication for Parkinson's, after years of addiction and recovery? Her story is raw, vulnerable, and deeply human: the daily crash after each dose, the fear it stirs up, the echoes of withdrawal, and the sense that maybe she's being pulled back into something she's worked so hard to rise above.What struck me most was the physical discomfort she described and the emotional complexity behind it—the grief, the doubt, the resistance. I've seen this before, in myself and others: when medication is both necessary and triggering, it's not just about dosage. It's about trust. It's about building a relationship with the medicine that aligns with our values, instead of clashing with our past.My invitation to you is to reframe the story. What if this is magic medicine? What if we drop the judgment and meet the reality of the moment with full presence and compassion? It's not giving up. It's aligning with what's true right now and adjusting our lives to support that truth with grace. That might mean talking to your doctor, shifting routines, or simply asking for more help. But it starts with acceptance.So if you're in a complicated relationship with medication, or supporting someone who is, I hope this conversation reminds you: your strength is not measured by how little you need, but by how deeply you show up for your life. There is no shame in taking what helps. There's only the next step, the next breath, and the next moment of courage.Tommy Discusses:Relief and discomfort can coexistLifestyle adjustments and MedicationAcceptance is a powerful toolYou are not alone, you are not failingWould you like to be a guest on the In The Circle Podcast?

A sleep-expert assures Melatonin is safe, but is still urging people to take caution. Medsafe has given approval for the sleep drug to be available over the counter at pharmacies. It is commonly used to treat insomnia or jet lag. Sleepwell Clinic Director Alex Bartle says potential side-effects are fairly minor, and long-term effects aren't fully understood. However, he doesn't believe it's as valuable as it's made out to be. Bartle told Mike Hosking behavioural treatments are much more effective. He says a 2017 study shows a person's total sleep time after taking the medication didn't improve, and says he doesn't prescribe Melatonin at all.

Is it ADHD… or something else entirely? This episode dives into one of the most debated topics in parenting and child psychology. Dr Justin Coulson answers a heartfelt question from a concerned parent: Should I pursue a formal ADHD diagnosis for my child — or are there better first steps to take? If you're feeling overwhelmed by symptoms, advice, and conflicting opinions, this conversation will help you slow down, zoom out, and see your child through a compassionate, research-informed lens. KEY POINTS: ADHD diagnosis rates are rising — but is it always the right label? Some children may be diagnosed for what is actually normal developmental variation or environmental mismatch. ADHD-like symptoms may be a child’s way of trying to meet three unmet psychological needs: Connection (relatedness) Capability (competence) Control (autonomy) Neuroinflammation is an emerging and overlooked factor in ADHD symptoms. Developmental readiness matters — an 8-year-old’s brain is still undergoing major executive function development. Rather than trying to eliminate stress, parents can help children build capacity to handle challenge (a growth mindset). Medication might help some, but it’s not the first (or only) answer. Diagnosis should be thoughtful, multi-faceted, and whole-child focused. QUOTE OF THE EPISODE: "Difference doesn't mean disorder. Development is not a race." – Dr Justin Coulson RESOURCES MENTIONED: The Parenting Revolution by Dr Justin Coulson Happy Families – for more articles, podcast episodes, and parenting resources Self-Determination Theory & Growth Mindset research Parenting ADHD [The Course] ACTION STEPS FOR PARENTS: Delay formal diagnosis (unless impairment is severe) and give time for development. Audit the environment for connection, competence, and autonomy — is it need-thwarting or need-supportive? Support physical health: Prioritise sleep, unprocessed foods, and movement. Explore reducing neuroinflammation through lifestyle. Teach a growth mindset: Use the word “yet”, encourage effort, and model learning through challenges. Reframe behaviours: Daydreaming may signal creativity, not dysfunction. Risk-taking may show courage and capability-seeking. Task resistance may be about autonomy, not defiance. If pursuing assessment, choose a clinician who understands development, context, and the whole child — not just a checklist. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

On Episode #170 of the PricePlow Podcast, we had the opportunity to sit down with GNC CEO Michael Costello at the 2025 GNC Global Conference in Orlando, Florida, for an eye-opening conversation that reveals why this supplement-using industry leader truly is “one of us”. Michael's journey from a volleyball-playing creatine customer in the 1990s to chemical engineer at Clorox to CEO of America's most iconic supplement retailer represents one of the most authentic leadership stories we've encountered. The GNC CEO Who Takes Creatine and Understands GLP-1 This episode, part of our ongoing four-part podcast series that began with Episode #169 featuring Jack Sehgal and Ben Benedict of Nutralabz, showcases how Michael's consumer-first philosophy and science-driven approach are transforming GNC's relationship with both franchisees and customers.

“Just avoid wine and cheese!”If only it were that simple.Welcome back to The Migraine Heroes Podcast, where we explore the real reasons behind your attacks and how to stop them. Hosted by Diane Ducarme, who's helped over 500 women get their lives back, this podcast blends the best of neuroscience with the deep-rooted wisdom of Traditional Chinese Medicine.In today's episode, we unpack the controversial world of tyramine and histamine—two compounds that hide in your favorite foods and may be secretly fueling your migraine attacks.You'll learn:Why fermented, aged, or even slightly spoiled foods can create a “perfect storm” in your brainWhat tyramine and histamine actually do to your nervous system, and why some bodies just can't process them wellHow medications like NSAIDs, antidepressants, and even common antibiotics can interfere with the body's ability to break down histamine making migraine triggers themselves (!)How to build a path back to food freedom—without fearWhether you've been told to cut all histamine-rich foods or you've noticed wine, cheese, or avocado leave you foggy and drained, this episode is your science-backed, heart-centered guide to understanding why—and what to do next.

The ancient wisdom that keeps coming back because it's true Athens, 399 BCE. Socrates holds the cup of hemlock, about to die for something that can't be proven - only known. The daimonion. The inner voice. The shamanic function that guides from beyond rational thought. 2,400 years later, we call it the unconscious. Or intuition. Or the default mode network. Same truth, different words: There's something in us that knows, and everything depends on whether we listen. This final episode reveals the perennial philosophy underlying all effective therapy. The wisdom that every culture discovers, then forgets, then rediscovers when the forgetting becomesunbearable. https://gettherapybirmingham.com/the-weird-history-of-psychotherapy-part-5-the-perennial-philosophy/ You'll learn: Why depression and anxiety might be evolutionary features, not bugs The eternal tension between warriors (order) and shamans (transformation) How modern neuroscience validates ancient insights about multiple selves Why we keep forgetting what works (hint: there's no profit in wholeness) The metamodern moment: learning to hold paradox in a polarized world What therapy looks like when it remembers we're shamanic beings From Socrates' inner voice to Jung's active imagination to modern parts work, the same insights keep emerging. Not because they're trendy, but because they're true. True like the sunrise. True like the need for love. True like the mystery we can never fully grasp but must learn to dance with.  

Train the Best. Change EMS.Howdy, y'all, I'm Dr Jeff Jarvis, and I'm the host of the EMS lighthouse project podcast, but I'm also the medical director for the new EMS system we're building in Fort Worth Texas. We are looking for an experienced critical care paramedic who is an effective and inspiring educator to lead the initial and continuing training and credentialing of a new team of Critical Care Paramedics who will be responding to our highest acuity calls. The salary is negotiable but starts between $65,000 and $80,000 a year for this office position. Whether y'all wear cowboy boots or Birkenstocks, Fort Worth can be a great place to live and work. So if you're ready to create a world-class EMS system and change the EMS world with us, give us a call at 817-953-3083, take care y'all.The next time you go to intubate a patient, should you give the sedation before the paralytic or the paralytic before the sedative? Does it matter? And what the hell does Bayes have to do with any of this? Dr Jarvis reviews a paper that uses Bayesian statistics to calculate the association between drug sequence and first attempt failure. Then he returns to Nerd Valley to talk about how to interpret 95% confidence intervals derived from frequentists statistics compared to 95% credible intervals that come from Bayesian statistics. Citations:1.     Catoire P, Driver B, Prekker ME, Freund Y: Effect of administration sequence of induction agents on first‐attempt failure during emergency intubation: A Bayesian analysis of a prospective cohort.

More and more people with type 1 are using GLP-1 receptor agonists. You know these medications, with brand names like Ozempic, Mounjaro, Wegovy and Zepbound, but none of them are specifically approved to treat T1D. Some of the first studies are underway to study the safety and effectiveness of GLP-1s, but that hasn't stopped thousands of using them off-label or to treat obesity. We're talking to an endocrinologist and a clinical pharmacist about why they prescribe these meds to some of their type 1 patients, who they won't prescribe them for, and – I know you're already asking – how they get insurance coverage.   My guests are endocrinologist Dr. Adam Spitz and Clinical Pharmacist Georgina Farrow GLP news story Stacey references here Dr Spitz's medical thriller here This podcast is not intended as medical advice.

On this episode of Managed Care Cast, The American Journal of Managed Care® speaks with Julia Lucaci, PharmD, MS, the senior director of global health economics and outcomes research at Becton, Dickinson and Company (BD), an international medical technology company. Her commentary, "Should Payers Incentivize Pharmacies to Blister-Package Chronic Medications?" argues that payers should consider offering higher reimbursement rates and/or preferred network status to pharmacies that dispense chronic medications in blister packs to enhance medication adherence and patient outcomes. During the conversation, Lucaci explores the widespread impact of medication nonadherence, the benefits and underutilization of blister packaging in the US, and strategies that could support broader adoption to improve chronic disease management and lower overall health care costs.

Imagine living with migraines so severe and so frequent, you're in pain nearly every single day of the month.  You've spent close to $60,000 chasing relief. You've tried it all.

In this episode of In the Circle, I answer one of the most important and relevant inquiries I have ever received. Michelle asks, "How Can I Handle the Pain of Weaning Off Prescribed Medication?"She shares the emotional tug-of-war between love and shame, wanting to reduce her dose of buprenorphine, but feeling defeated when pain flares up and she takes more than planned. Her honesty opens up a deeply relevant conversation about what it means to meet ourselves with compassion in the hardest moments.I've seen again and again, in my own recovery and others, that the real struggle isn't just physical. It's the inner conflict: the part that wants comfort now, and the part that longs for freedom.So many people carry guilt when they “slip” during tapering. But I believe it's not about failure. It's about learning to listen. And with the right tools, the right support, and a shift in how we relate to pain, I truly believe we can change, not just our dose, but our entire experience of healing.If you're in the middle of this journey or supporting someone who is, I hope this conversation reminds you that you're not broken, and you're not alone. We're not here to rush or shame the process. We're here to explore what's possible, together.Tommy Discusses:Withdrawal is a mental, emotional, and physical battleShame is not all it seems to beSupport and strategy are essentialThere is NO shame in needing medication, but it's okay to wonder what's possible without itProgression is not perfectWould you like to be a guest on the In The Circle Podcast?
