Podcasts about medications

In this episode, Coach Debbie reveals why your thyroid isn't the problem — your cellular environment is. Learn how vagus nerve dysfunction, LPS, H. pylori, low stomach acid, sluggish bile, and mitochondrial stress block T4 → T3 conversion and prevent T3 (even medication!) from entering your cells. Debbie shares her personal case study connecting GI-MAP, MEScreen mitochondrial testing, blood chemistry, HRV, and vagus nerve suppression to low T3 activation, slow metabolism, and performance plateaus. Key topics: • Why T3 meds don't always work • How LPS blocks thyroid hormone • Gut–vagus–thyroid connection • Bile flow + fat-burning • Mitochondria + metabolism • How stress shuts down thyroid activation Pulsetto Vagus Nerve Stimulation:

For the past half century, Americans have been told that psychiatric drugs fix chemical imbalances in the brain. But this is nothing but a myth, says journalist Robert Whitaker.Whitaker is the publisher of MadInAmerica.com and is known for his influential critiques of modern psychiatry and psychiatric drug treatment.It was hypothesized that depression was due to too little serotonin and that schizophrenia was caused by too much dopamine—and that drugs could fix that, just like insulin for diabetes. But that was never backed up by evidence, Whitaker said.“That was the story that was used to sell a whole second generation of psychiatric drugs and dramatically expand the psychiatric enterprise worldwide,” he said.In 1999, Whitaker co-wrote a series of articles for the Boston Globe on psychiatric research and became a finalist for the 1999 Pulitzer Prize for Public Service, thereby establishing his reputation in this field. Later, he served as director of publications at Harvard Medical School.“We have this story that we're making great progress in diagnosing and treating mental disorders,” he told me.U.S. spending on treating mental disorders has risen substantially over the past decades, from tens of billions in the late 1980s to more than $100 billion per year today. But there is no evidence, he says, that these drugs improve long-term outcomes. On the contrary, there is plenty of evidence that psychiatric drugs can actually make things worse, he says.“They actually cause chemical imbalances, increase the chronicity of disorders, increase functional impairment, and you see rising disability rates wherever you see this paradigm of care adopted,” he says.Certain antipsychotics for schizophrenia, for instance, can actually reduce brain tissue, particularly in the first year, and that's been associated with cognitive decline and a worsening of symptoms.Evidence shows that other countries, including developing nations, that have not adopted this same approach have seen much better outcomes, he says.In this episode, he breaks down his findings from decades of studying this issue. Whitaker is the author of “Mad in America” and “Anatomy of an Epidemic.”Views expressed in this video are opinions of the host and the guest, and do not necessarily reflect the views of The Epoch Times.

In this episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, Avik Chakraborty sits down with Bud Kraus, creator of the podcast Seriously Bud, for a real conversation about living with chronic depression, seasonal affective disorder and suicidal ideation. Bud shares what “silent suffering” looked like for him, why so many people mask pain with humor and what actually helped him move one day at a time. They talk about practical coping tools, getting support without shame, the role of counseling and medication and how purpose and family can shift your relationship with mental health over time. If you're navigating depression, anxiety, suicidal thoughts or emotional burnout, this episode focuses on grounded support, honest language and why asking for help is a strength at any age. About the Guest: Bud Kraus is a long-time educator and creator in the WordPress community and the host of Seriously Bud, a human-story podcast exploring life journeys, resilience and reinvention. He speaks openly about his experience with depression and suicidal ideation and how support systems, creativity and meaning helped him move forward. Key Takeaways: Depression can be chronic and still invisible. Bud describes how people often use a “happy face” while privately struggling with mental health. Seasonal shifts can amplify symptoms. He names winter and shorter days as a trigger pattern tied to seasonal affective disorder. Normalize asking direct questions. A pivotal moment came when someone finally asked Bud if he had suicidal thoughts, helping him realize those thoughts aren't “normal” for most people. Progress is usually a small pivot, not a miracle moment. Bud points to finding a trusted professional and structured support as a turning point. Coping can be practical and personal. For Bud, playing guitar created short-term relief and mental transport when the day felt unmanageable. Medication and therapy can be part of a healthy toolkit. He frames both as support options, not moral judgments. Purpose can return later than you expect. Bud ties healing to relationships, family and future joy that felt impossible during darker seasons.

Many people start T3 medication hoping for more energy and mental clarity—only to end up feeling wired, anxious, or unable to sleep. In this episode of Thyroid Shorts, Dr. Eric Balcavage explains why too much or too little T3 can both amplify anxiety and insomnia, and how to restore calm by shifting from defense mode to recovery mode. You'll learn how the brain's fear center (the amygdala) interprets stress, how local T3 activity inside the brain differs from global thyroid output, and why "state before hormone" is the key to lasting recovery. Featuring insights from two pivotal papers: Psychoneuroendocrinology (2024): Evidence for thyroid hormone regulation of amygdala-dependent fear relevant memory and plasticity PLoS ONE (2011): Adult-Onset Hypothyroidism Enhances Fear Memory and Up-regulates Mineralocorticoid and Glucocorticoid Receptors in the Amygdala Timestamps: 00:00 – Intro – Is T3 causing your anxiety and insomnia? 02:00 – Input → Interpretation → Response: how the brain reads threat 05:00 – The amygdala as the body's alarm system 08:00 – The Threat Perception Loop and defense physiology 11:00 – Local vs global thyroid adaptation: T3 in the amygdala 13:00 – The T3 Paradox: too little vs too much T3 17:00 – Shifting from defense to recovery mode 19:00 – Key takeaways & how to calm the system before adjusting hormone Key Takeaway: Your thyroid follows your brain's perception of safety. Calming the nervous system restores efficient T3 conversion—without overstimulation.

Matt examines the critical link between sleep quality and Alzheimer's pathology. He details the brain's "night shift" - the glymphatic system - which actively flushes out toxins like amyloid beta during deep sleep. Listeners learn how even a single night of deprivation can spike harmful tau levels by 50%, effectively accelerating brain aging.The discussion pivots to dual orexin receptor antagonists (DORAs), a drug class that quiets wakefulness rather than forcing sedation. Matt highlights research from Dr. Brendan Lucey and Dr. David Holtzman showing these agents may lower toxic proteins and preserve the hippocampus. Despite this therapeutic promise, he emphasizes that natural sleep remains the ultimate gold standard for neuroprotection.Please note that Matt is not a medical doctor, and none of the content in this podcast should be considered medical advice in any way, shape, or form, nor prescriptive in any way.One of this week's sponsors, LMNT, offers a science-based electrolyte drink with no sugar or artificial ingredients.

In today's episode, we're answering your questions on GLP-1 medications, strength training, fat loss without tracking, habits, and how to navigate this wild wellness landscape without losing your mind (or your muscle). We dig into what smart, sustainable strength training looks like if you're on a GLP-1, how to protect your muscle mass and your heart, and why progressive overload and consistency still matter more than any “quick fix.”We also share how to support loved ones who are considering or using GLP-1 meds without being preachy, how to coach clients whose weight is dropping but habits aren't changing, and what to focus on if you want fat loss without tracking calories. We get into 30-minute strength workouts that actually move the needle, why “more” isn't better (better is better), and how to keep training when you're dealing with a glute strain or nagging injury.“We're turning on our flashlight and shining it around so you can see the blind spots. Be open to receive that with curiosity, not judgment - because only good can come from that.”- Amy Rudolph“More is not better. Better is better.

In this podcast episode, Courtney Stathis DNP, FNP-BC, RN and Catherine Wilson-Mooney, MSN, RN discuss the growing use of GLP-1 medications for weight loss and the urgent need to address their psychological, ethical, and social implications. Although these drugs can lead to significant weight reduction, they do not automatically improve body image or mental health, and may even be linked to depression and suicidal ideation. The conversation highlights the role of psychiatric nursing in educating patients, assessing emotional well-being, and ensuring safe use, especially as social media and cultural pressures drive patients to seek quick fixes. Concerns are raised about cost disparities, mail-order or compounded versions, and the increasing prescription to children, whose physical and emotional development may be at risk. The conversation underscores the importance of ethical prescribing, practitioner oversight, and deeper attention to the psychological side of weight management, beyond the physical outcomes. Read the related article, "The physiologic and psychologic effects of glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists" in the September issue of Nursing2025.

Welcome to episode 237 with Beatrice Birch, who is a Hauschka Artistic Therapist and the founder of Inner Fire, a proactive healing community that offers a choice for adults to recover from debilitating and traumatic life challenges with minimal use of medications. Beatrice has worked as an artistic therapist and consultant since 1986 and over these years she has worked in schools, hospitals, rehab facilities and prisons in the United States, England and Holland, and has lectured as far afield as Taiwan. Inner Fire, founded by Beatrice in 2015, creates a framework for deep and lasting healing, through an intensive program that first stabilises a person in crisis, gradually replaces medication with holistic healing practices, addresses the core issues and develops skills for growing beyond these issues. In this episode I chat to Beatrice about her early work as an artistic therapist, how she came to work in this space and the events and experiences that led to starting Inner Fire. We chat about the Inner Fire approach to recovery and healing, what an average day looks like, how it all works and the process behind it. We chat about the role of choice, the importance of rhythm and how these things support the process of tapering medication and we chat about working with clay and water colours, the creative spirit and why Beatrice feels that mental health is a reductionist term for soul health. We all know the stats around mental health and they aren't getting any better and if we want things to be different then we need to do things differently and Beatrice is doing exactly that, and like she's says during our conversation, her work is simply about offering people a choice. It's exciting to know that places like Inner Fire exist and it was wonderful to learn more about this incredible space and how it came to be.

What if the key to healing your body has nothing to do with diet, supplements, or workouts—and everything to do with energy, intention, and love?This week I'm speaking with Ian Mitchell, the chemist behind Wizard Sciences and one of the leading voices in quantum biology. His work is being studied in universities and used by elite athletes, biohackers, and doctors around the world.Ian has seen WiFi throw your cells out of balance—and watched a small quantum device bring them back into harmony in minutes. He's used stem cells from a person's own blood to reverse colorblindness. And after decades of research, he's come to believe the most advanced technology in the universe isn't artificial intelligence or stem cells — it's kindness.Listen to this episode if you've ever wondered why you can eat clean, meditate, and still feel misaligned — if you've felt there's something deeper guiding your healing, waiting to be understood.Episode Links & Resources:Wizard Sciences Website: https://wizardsciences.com/Follow Ian on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ianmitchell1/Connect with Tracy:Website: ⁠⁠⁠⁠https://tracyduhs.com/⁠⁠⁠⁠Hydration Shop: ⁠⁠⁠⁠https://sanctuarysd.com/⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠@tracyduhs⁠⁠⁠⁠Flow FAM Community: ⁠⁠⁠⁠https://tracyduhs.com/join-flow-fam/

In this powerful client spotlight, Daria opens up about her long-game transformation. Navigating a lipedema diagnosis, multiple surgeries, and the mental load that comes with it—while committing to a simple promise: never live above 200 pounds again. We dig into the routines and mindsets that actually stick: consistent training, protein-forward meals, community support, and self-advocacy in a confusing healthcare landscape. Daria also shares her GLP-1 experience for managing food noise, the role of coaching accountability, and how letting go of rigid expectations unlocked real momentum. If you need proof that showing up beats perfection, this is it.

This episode reviews five oral abstracts on the prevalence of antimicrobial-resistant Neisseria Gonorrhea globally and in the US; clinical trial results of two novel oral antibiotics; and the protective effect of a meningococcal vaccine. These abstracts were presented at the 2024 STI Prevention Conference. View the abstracts in the 2024 STI Prevention Conference Abstract Book. View episode transcript at www.std.uw.edu.This podcast is dedicated to an STD [sexually transmitted disease] review for health care professionals who are interested in remaining up-to-date on the diagnosis, management, and prevention of STDs and STIs. Editor and host Dr. Meena Ramchandani is an Assistant Professor of Medicine at the University of Washington (UW), Program Director of the UW Infectious Diseases Fellowship Program, and Associate Editor of the National STD Curriculum.  

Researchers from the University of Tartu found that nearly 90% of 186 common medications affected gut composition, and almost half left long-lasting microbial changes that persisted years after use ended Antibiotics caused the strongest and most persistent gut disruption, with measurable microbial shifts still evident six months after use and cumulative effects worsening with each additional treatment course Non-antibiotic drugs like benzodiazepines, beta-blockers, glucocorticoids, and proton pump inhibitors also altered microbial composition Long-term medication use explained more variation in gut microbiome composition than current prescriptions. This shows that the gut retains a biological "memory" of past pharmaceutical exposures Restoring gut health starts by reducing unnecessary medications, avoiding vegetable oils, and eating whole foods that help beneficial bacteria recover and rebuild balance over time

Dr. Lynn Lafferty grew up around her two grandmothers, both farmers, learning lessons that helped chart the course in her life decades later. Some family stories had a lifelong impact. One great-grandmother was the local healer in her small rural community. When the Spanish Flu erupted, she used an elixir of elderberries and alcohol to treat 20 community members who fell ill with that dread disease. Not a single patient died. Lynn reports that no one in her extended family fell ill from that disease, and attributes their resistance to the nightly dose of elderberry elixir for all family members, which was a family ritual. Dr. Lafferty is an endowed professor at Nova Southeastern University, teaching pharmacy and medical students. She attributes her career choice to influences from her grandmothers, who inspired her direction in life. The life lessons she learned also drove her to seek rational solutions to the SARS-CoV-2 virus when it broke out, causing COVID in 2020. Challenges in Medical Education Dr Lafferty highlighted her concerns about the lack of education on essential nutrients and the influence of hospital protocols over resident physicians. She described a concerning mindset among psychiatry residents who expressed fear of harming patients with prescribed drugs, despite their extensive training and financial investment. Dr. Lafferty also recounted a personal experience involving her brother's inadequate medical care, emphasizing the limitations imposed by hospital protocols and the lack of knowledge about basic treatments like magnesium deficiency. Truth and Love's Transformative Power The Breggins discussed with Dr. Lafferty her experience speaking truthfully about healthcare issues, including her confrontation with a dean over her statements about Lipitor's side effects. She expressed her commitment to speaking the truth and her belief that she is on a mission. Dr. Breggin and Ginger Breggin also confirmed their personal sense of being called to do their work. Authoritarian Control in Medical Progress Peter and Lynn discussed the impact of authoritarian control over medical institutions, highlighting how innovative doctors are being suppressed, which hampers progress in medicine and patient care. Pharmacists vs. Physicians: Education Gaps Dr. Breggin and Dr. Lafferty also examined differences between primary care doctors and pharmacists, Dr. Lafferty declaring that pharmacists are more science-based and less authoritarian than medical doctors. They highlighted how medical students receive limited pharmacology training compared to the comprehensive education received in the past. Therapy, Medication, and Scientific Reasoning Dr. Breggin raised the issue of the importance of therapy over medication for psychiatric and psychological issues and the potential benefits of pharmacists working with psychiatrists to monitor psychiatric drug side effects. Listening to the patient who is sitting in front of you and looking beyond the latest big pharmaceutical options were two important highlights that came out of the conversation. Seeking treatments with the least potential for harm and understanding the range of treatments available in the natural world of foods and supplements were also emphasized. Dr. Lafferty can be found at her website. She offers courses, some free. Her newest training is a 10-session course, held once a week, that gives a basic understanding of how to take care of yourself and your family best. Participants review body systems, how they work, and foods, herbs, and supplements that can help the body return to balance.

We're looking at some major policy issues happening in Washington, and what you can really do to effect change. George Huntley is the CEO of DPAC, the Diabetes Patient Advocacy Coalition. We've got a lot to cover: Medicare changes like competitive bidding that could dramatically limit access to CGMs and insulin pumps for seniors, the changing landscape around GLP 1 meds, and we talk about patient advocacy wins. I know some of you are cynical, but it can work. If you've ever thought your voice doesn't matter, this conversation may change your mind. This podcast is not intended as medical advice.

Keywords Diabetes, D-PAC, Medicare, GLP-1 medications, patient advocacy, healthcare access, insulin pumps, CGMs, diabetes technology, legislative reform AI info below: Summary In this conversation, George Huntley, CEO of the Diabetes Patient Advocacy Coalition (D-PAC), discusses the critical role of advocacy in improving diabetes care and access to technology. He highlights the challenges faced by patients, particularly regarding Medicare coverage for insulin pumps and continuous glucose monitors (CGMs), and the implications of recent legislative changes. The discussion also covers the potential of GLP-1 medications in diabetes management and the importance of patient stories in advocacy efforts. Takeaways D-PAC focuses on affordable and equitable access to diabetes care. Advocacy is crucial for influencing healthcare policies. Competitive bidding for diabetes technology could limit access for seniors. Patient stories are essential in legislative advocacy. GLP-1 medications show promise in reshaping diabetes treatment. Economic factors play a significant role in healthcare access. The aging population of type 1 diabetes patients requires urgent attention. Collaboration among advocacy groups is vital for success. Healthcare costs are driven more by major medical expenses than by drug prices. Continued advocacy is necessary to protect patient access to care.

When auditing risk of management in an E/M note, how are over-the-counter (OTC) medications scored? Under the 1995/1997 guidelines, they were categorized in the “low” risk row. However, the 2021 guidelines provide no examples under minimal or low risk, relying instead on AMA and Medicare guidance. Terry explains this distinction and highlights the difference between an acute uncomplicated illness and an acute illness with systemic symptoms. Take a listen.

This episode is brought to you by Joi & Blokes, Troscriptions, and Caldera Lab. In this episode of Ever Forward Radio, registered dietitian Ashley Koff, RD breaks down the truth behind GLP-1 medications like Ozempic and Wegovy, reframing them not as magic weight-loss shots but as hormone replacement therapies that reveal how dysfunctional most people's "weight-health hormones" have become. Ashley shares how digestion, nutrient status, genetics, and modern environmental pressures diminish the body's natural ability to regulate appetite, cravings, metabolism, and fat distribution — and why GLP-1 drugs can offer clarity but not a cure unless the underlying issues are addressed. She dives into muscle preservation, the limitations of BMI, the importance of fat-mass vs. scale weight, the root-cause approach to sustainable weight health, and what the future of GLP-1s means for generational wellness. This is a powerful conversation that blends science, personal insight, and actionable strategies to improve metabolic health — with or without medication.

Baxie speaks with Derrick Ogrodny—owner of Heavy Medication Records. This is an independent record label that distributes a great lineup of predominantly American music all out of Warsaw, Poland. Much of which has been highlighted on this podcast in the past year such as The Hangmen, Street Walking Cheetahs, and the Neverland Ranch Davidians. This is an amazing story of a Chicago native that moved to Poland nearly 30 years ago and was instrumental in bringing MTV to Eastern Europe. He was also responsible for bringing other American TV networks to Poland such as Comedy Central and Nickelodeon! Amazing stuff! Listen on Apple Podcasts, YouTube, Spotify, and on the Rock102 app!

Not Just a Fleeting Moment or an Elusive Dream... Romans 5:1 (NIV)“Therefore, being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ.” God Loved Us So Much that He Sent His Son to Redeem Mankind and Restore Our Peace with Him.  Judges 6:23-24 (NIV)“But the Lord said to him, ‘Peace! Do not be afraid. You are not going to die.' So, Gideon built an altar to the Lord there and called it The Lord is Peace.” 2 Thessalonians 3:16 (NIV)“Now may the Lord of peace himself give you peace at all times and in every way. The Lord be with all of you.”

This week on Fat Science, Dr. Emily Cooper, Mark Wright, and Andrea Taylor answer listener questions about BMI cutoffs, weight cycling, metabolic adaptation, trauma, GLP-1 differences, and why some people gain weight on ultra-low calories. Dr. Cooper explains what's really happening inside the metabolic system and why individualized treatment—not dieting—creates sustainable change.Key Questions AnsweredIf my BMI doesn't “qualify” for GLP-1s, is Naltrexone + Bupropion helpful—and what labs matter first?Does being overweight always indicate metabolic dysfunction, and why are U.S. rates so high?If diets damage metabolism, what do you do when you're already 80 pounds overweight?How long does it take for leptin and ghrelin to stabilize with mechanical eating?How can someone gain weight on 1,200 calories/day?After sleeve gastrectomy, how do you eat enough while on a GLP-1?Is set point theory real—and how does the melanocortin pathway influence it?If obesity runs in my family, will I need meds like Zepbound for life?How do trauma and stress alter long-term metabolic health?Can GLP-1s offset weight gain from steroids, mood meds, or hormones?Why might Ozempic work well while Mounjaro causes weight gain?Key Takeaways1. BMI rules don't reflect metabolic truth.A mid-20s BMI can still mask significant dysfunction, especially with weight cycling.2. Weight cycling is metabolically stressful.Repeated losses/regains increase visceral fat, insulin abnormalities, and cardiovascular risk.3. Obesity is a multi-hormonal disease.Most people need pharmacology plus sleep, fueling, and movement—not restrictive dieting.4. Metabolic adaptation is powerful.Under-fueling lowers thyroid output, suppresses fat-burning, and slows metabolism dramatically.5. After bariatric surgery or on GLP-1s, frequency matters.Frequent, nutrient-dense snacks protect muscle, metabolism, and energy.6. Set point changes with better signaling.GLP-1s and related therapies help the brain accurately detect weight and lower the defended level.7. Genetics often mean lifelong support.Family patterns of obesity usually indicate long-term need for metabolic medication.8. Trauma amplifies metabolic risk.Childhood trauma disrupts IGF-1, sleep, stress hormones, insulin, leptin, and ghrelin.9. Medications can cause weight gain—GLP-1s can help counteract it.Steroids, mood meds, hormonal agents, and more can be metabolically unfriendly.10. “Newer” isn't always better.Some people respond poorly to the GIP component in Mounjaro/Zepbound. Individual physiology rules.Dr. Cooper's Actionable TipsRequest deeper evaluation: DEXA, visceral fat, fasting insulin/glucose, leptin, reproductive hormones.Stop restrictive dieting permanently—mechanical eating protects metabolic stability.Work with a fueling-focused dietitian (often ED-trained).Review your medication list for drugs known to cause weight gain.Don't switch GLP-1s or chase higher doses if your current regimen works.Notable Quote“Obesity isn't a willpower problem. It's a metabolic disease, and when the underlying system is supported, the body finally has permission to change.” — Dr. Emily CooperLinks & ResourcesPodcast Home: Fat Science Podcast WebsiteSubmit a Show Question: questions@fatsciencepodcast.com or dr.c@fatsciencepodcast.comDr. Emily Cooper on LinkedInMark Wright on LinkedInAndrea Taylor on InstagramFat Science is your source for breaking diet myths and advancing the science of true metabolic health.

***IMPORTANT: Be sure to listen to the intro segment for this installment of the podcast. It provides important context for the interview. Hunter Keegan is joined for the 66th official installment of the Bipolar Recorder podcast by a new guest. Andrew "Smitty" Smith spent nearly three decades working as a sales representative for major pharmaceutical companies that develop and manufacture psych meds (including Risperidone). It wasn't until Smitty reached his late 30s that he received a diagnosis of Bipolar Disorder Type I (BD1) following an acute manic episode. In this interview, Smitty discusses his personal journey with bipolar disorder and explores with Hunter the unique intersection that his personal mental health played in the latter years of his career as a pharmaceutical sales representative. Smitty is not on social media and did not have any projects that he wanted to plug during this interview. SUPPORT THE BIPOLAR RECORDER "GOODBYE, 25' FUNDING DRIVE"!!!

Emily Kircher-Morris and Dr. William Dodson have a conversation about the complexities of ADHD, in which they discuss emotional dysregulation, Rejection Sensitivity Dysphoria (RSD), and social anxiety. They talk about how RSD manifests in ADHDers, and how we can distinguish it from social anxiety. They also explore the impact of childhood experiences, the vital role of relationships, and the need for updated diagnostic criteria. This conversation was taken from a two-part series earlier in 2025. TAKEAWAYS Emotional dysregulation is often overlooked in ADHD diagnoses. RSD is a specific condition affecting many with ADHD; the pain can be both emotional and physical, leading to significant life impairments. Social anxiety is anticipatory, while rejection sensitivity is reactive; they can coexist but are distinct. Childhood experiences can exacerbate RSD but are not the sole cause. Medication, alongside sleep, nutrition, structure, and routine, plays a vital role in emotional regulation. Mood disorders can manifest independently of external events, and a significant percentage of individuals with ADHD have coexisting psychiatric diagnoses. Understanding RSD is essential for clinicians, and psychoeducation is key to self-advocacy. Here's the research project Emily mentions in her closing thoughts. Dr. Bill Dodson is a board-certified adult psychiatrist who has specialized in adults with Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder for the last 27 years. In recognition of his clinical contributions to the field of ADHD he was named a Life Fellow of the APA in 2012. He was the 2006 recipient of the national Maxwell J. Schleifer Award for Distinguished Service to Persons with Disabilities. His contributions to the field of ADHD include: The only currently available methodology for the fine-tuning of ADHD medications. The concept of Rejection Sensitivity Dysphoria and its treatment with medications. The first non-behavioral theory of what ADHD is and how it can be treated successfully with an emphasis on what goes right rather than what goes wrong.

In this episode, ASTHO's Director of Public Health, Data Modernization, and Informatics, Allen Rakotoniaina, breaks down how public health agencies can effectively make the case for investing in modern data systems. He explains why “business numbers,” like labor hours saved or dollars recouped, can be the tipping point for decision-makers, especially in an environment where funding is scarce. Allen also demonstrates how person-centered storytelling transforms technical work into relatable, mission-driven narratives, using real-world examples such as overdose prevention. He explores how tools like partner mapping and shared ownership can help agencies build stronger advocacy plans and create sustainable, collaborative data systems. Whether you're building a data modernization strategy or just beginning to rally your organization around the need for better systems, this conversation offers practical insights, clear examples, and a roadmap for getting started.Medications for Opioid Use Disorder Access Legal Map | ASTHO

There is a widespread idea that bingeing has “protective” value for the binge eater—protection from difficult emotions, pain, stress, and other problems. I remember believing this when I was bulimic, and I know how convincing it can feel. In this episode, I talk about why the protection narrative may be holding you back in recovery, and how you can learn to see that bingeing isn't safety—it's dangerous and it's hurting you. You can learn to recognize and dismiss the protection thoughts and realize you're much safer without binge eating. Subscribe to my email list (and get my free Inspiration Booklet!)
