Stacy and clinical nutritionist Jessica Brown welcome you back for part two of this discussion! They encourage you to start with part one, GLP-1 Medications Beyond Weight Loss: What the Science Actually Shows About Semaglutide. In this episode they explore more of the science behind GLP-1 medications, including their effects on metabolic health, inflammation, appetite regulation, and long-term health. They also unpack the stigma, diet culture narratives, and judgment surrounding semaglutide and other GLP-1 medications and what evolving science means for how we think about weight and health.

GLP-1 medications like semaglutide are often talked about as weight-loss drugs, but the science is revealing a much bigger story. In the first of this two-part discussion, Stacy welcomes back clinical nutritionist and author Jessica Brown to explore what research is actually showing about GLP-1 medications and whole-body health. They unpack emerging science around inflammation, immune regulation, metabolic health, and gut function, and why these medications may impact far more than weight. Stacy shares her own experience starting a GLP-1 medication and the mindset shift that comes with re-examining long-held beliefs about diet culture, intuitive eating, and health.

In this episode Mariska and I discuss some things to consider as clients talk about their medications and how a therapist can stay in their scope of practice while talking about meds.

In this episode of The Restored Minds Show, licensed therapist Matt Codde, LCSW shares some thoughts on medication and anxiety, including the role of SSRIs, benzodiazepines, placebo research, and how medication fits into a broader recovery journey.If you're struggling with anxiety, OCD, panic attacks, or other fear-based symptoms, you've probably wondered whether medication is the answer. In this episode, Matt explores the research, discusses common experiences people report with anxiety medication, and explains why medication may help some people — while not addressing the deeper cause of anxiety.Rather than taking an extreme position for or against medication, this conversation explores how medication might fit into a balanced recovery approach focused on emotional healing, exposure work, and long-term integration.

Use code HEHE at https://cozyearth.com/ for 20% off your order and treat yourself to the sleep you've been dreaming of. In this episode, HeHe sits down with Dr. Kristin Lasseter to unpack perinatal mental health with a focus on postpartum anxiety (PPA) versus postpartum depression (PPD), how they differ, and when “baby blues” may signal something more. While mood shifts are common in the early postpartum days, symptoms that persist beyond a couple of weeks, disrupt sleep, bring constant anxiety or sadness, intrusive thoughts, or thoughts of death deserve real support. They talk candidly about the guilt, shame, and fear of judgment that keep many women silent, and why telling one safe person can be a powerful first step. The conversation explores common risk factors like fertility struggles, pregnancy or birth complications, and PMDD, along with the significant hormonal shift that happens after the placenta is delivered and why the brain can feel especially vulnerable during that window. HeHe and Dr. Lasseter also navigate the often-stigmatized topic of psychiatric medication during pregnancy and postpartum. They discuss why abruptly stopping medication is usually unsafe, how to thoughtfully weigh medication risks against the risks of untreated mental illness, what research tells us about breastfeeding compatibility, and what to expect when starting or adjusting treatment. They touch on newer, faster-acting postpartum depression options, therapy modalities like CBT and EMDR, and additional treatments such as TMS and ECT. The episode closes with an honest conversation about bounce-back culture, social media pressure, and choosing support systems that protect a mother's mental health. Throughout, the message is clear: evidence-based care matters, suffering in silence isn't a badge of honor, and there is no shame in using medication when it's needed. 0:00 - Introduction: Mental Health Medications in Pregnancy & Postpartum 4:36 - Postpartum Anxiety vs Postpartum Depression: Key Differences 6:01 - Normal Baby Blues vs Red Flags: When to Seek Help 9:51 - Intrusive Thoughts & Breaking the Stigma 17:26 - Medication Safety in Pregnancy: What You Need to Know 24:43 - Should You Stop Your Meds When Pregnant? 30:03 - Hormones & Mental Health: The Postpartum Crash 43:56 - Breastfeeding While on Psychiatric Medications 51:26 - How Long Should You Stay on Medication? 60:50 - Fighting the "Bounce Back" Culture & Social Media's Impact   Guest Bio: Kristin Yeung Lasseter, MD is a Board-Certified Psychiatrist in Texas who specializes in Reproductive Psychiatry and Women's Mental Health.  She graduated cum laude from Southwestern University with a Bachelors of Science in Biology prior to attending medical school at the Long School of Medicine at the University of Texas Health Science Center in San Antonio.

Antiarrhythmic medications are some of the most complex and high-risk drugs pharmacists encounter in clinical practice. In this episode, we break down the most important concepts pharmacists need to understand about antiarrhythmics, including the major drug classes and the clinical situations where these medications are commonly used. A major focus of the discussion is medication safety. Many antiarrhythmics carry risks such as QT prolongation, proarrhythmia, and significant drug–drug interactions. Pharmacists play a critical role in identifying these risks, monitoring electrolytes and ECG changes, and recognizing situations where therapy adjustments are necessary. We also highlight why certain medications require inpatient initiation and careful monitoring. The episode also covers practical clinical pearls, including the unique toxicity profile and interaction potential of amiodarone, how to think about rate control versus rhythm control strategies in atrial fibrillation, and the most common medication-related problems pharmacists should watch for. Whether practicing in ambulatory care, hospital, or long-term care settings, understanding antiarrhythmics can help pharmacists prevent serious complications and improve patient outcomes.

Before another diagnosis or pill, pause and see what's really happening in your dysregulated child's brain. Meltdowns, anxiety, and focus struggles are signals—not flaws. Dr. Roseann Capanna-Hodge, founder of Regulation First Parenting™, guides parents to calm the brain first and create lasting change.Parenting a dysregulated child can feel like living in survival mode. You try consequences. You try therapy. Maybe even medication. And still… nothing sticks.Here's the truth: behavior is communication. When we understand what's really happening in your dysregulated child's brain, everything changes.Let's decode it together. In this episode, you'll learn how brain patterns drive emotional dysregulation—and why we must calm the brain first.Why does my child have frequent meltdowns even when I set clear boundaries?When a child's nervous system is stuck in fight or flight mode, logic doesn't land. Their autonomic nervous system is in sympathetic dominance, flooded with stress hormones.An overstimulated child's brain may show:Chronic stress activationExcessive high-frequency brain activityDifficulty shifting into the parasympathetic nervous systemPoor impulse control and intense emotional responsesSo those temper tantrums? That aggression? The explosive emotional reactions?It's not oppositional defiant disorder by default. It's a dysregulated nervous system.

The future of mental health in America and the world may depend on a growing number of brave psychotherapists like our guest today, Dr. Teralyn, who defy conventional psychiatry by voicing their own opinions on the shortcomings and dangers of psychiatric drugs.  These criticisms are grounded in hundreds and thousands of hours of meetings with psychotherapy clients, meeting face to face an hour at a time and hearing the stories of their patients which places them in a better position than prescribers, who spend much less time with the people they are medicating and who have much less insight into how much medications interfere with human relationships and with love. Dr. Teralyn Sell, PhD, is a licensed psychotherapist who specializes in understanding mental health when standard explanations and treatments fall short. Her work integrates psychology with principles from nutritional psychiatry and functional medicine, examining how brain health, sleep, stress, and medication effects shape emotional and cognitive health. Dr. Teralyn is particularly interested in long-term outcomes, informed consent, and helping people make sense of mental health decisions. She is the author of Your Best Brain and co-host of The Gaslit Truth Podcast, where clinical insight meets candid conversation about where mental health care breaks down and how clearer thinking leads to better choices. She also writes a regular blog, Dr. Teralyn. Her style is thoughtful and engaging, grounded in science, and focused on making complex ideas understandable without oversimplifying them. This fascinating and fun interview with Dr. Teralyn, PhD, and the Breggins on The Breggin Hour is truly worth your time.  We hope you will join us.

Welcome to Resiliency Radio with Dr. Jill Carnahan, where today's episode challenges decades of conventional thinking about Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS). Dr. Jill is joined by Dr. James C. Anderson, whose groundbreaking research suggests that RLS may not be primarily a dopamine disorder—but instead, a problem of mechanical nerve compression in the lower leg. In this fascinating and science-driven discussion, Dr. Jill Carnahan and Dr. Anderson explore how decompression of the common fibular, superficial fibular, and tibial nerves may significantly reduce symptoms like burning, tingling, cramping, creeping sensations, and sleep disruption. This episode offers hope to patients who have failed dopaminergic medications and provides clinicians with deeper mechanistic insight into the root causes of RLS and peripheral neuropathy. ✨ Like, subscribe, and share to help more people discover innovative, root-cause solutions for chronic restless legs and sleep disruption.

Is weight loss really the answer — or is the real work about healing your relationship with food and your body? In this episode of NHA Today, host Eileen Kopsaftis sits down with registered nurse and wellness educator Mary Marshall, creator of Mindset Over Weight, to explore a powerful shift in the conversation around weight, dieting, and health. Together, they unpack: Why weight cycling (losing and regaining weight) may be more harmful than maintaining a stable higher weight How dieting disrupts hunger and fullness hormones (ghrelin & leptin) Why intuitive (or attuned) eating is not "eat whatever you want" The neurological impact of chronic dieting The real risks behind GLP-1 medications How shame and self-criticism sabotage long-term health Mary shares why health can exist across a wide range of body sizes — and how learning to listen to internal signals can restore peace, metabolic balance, and self-trust. This is a compassionate, research-informed conversation about moving from self-judgment to self-care. Guest Information

Welcome to the WHOOP Research Series, where we breakdown into the extensive, scientific research conducted by the WHOOP Performance Science team. On this week's episode, WHOOP Global Head of Human Performance, Principal Scientist, Dr. Kristen Holmes sits down with WHOOP Senior Research Scientist Dr. Greg Grosicki to unpack the latest WHOOP Research Study on Heart Rate Variability Coefficient of Variation or HRV-CV. Using data from 21,000+ WHOOP members and 2 million nights of sleep, Dr. Holmes and Dr. Grosicki reveal why day-to-day stability in your HRV may matter more than the number itself. HRV-CV proves to outperform traditional metrics in detecting the real impact of alcohol, sleep consistency, and metabolic health, making it a great measure of healthspan. By looking deeper into the study, Dr. Holmes and Dr. Grosicki explains how HRV-CV can help you program your training smarter, improve your healthspan and build autonomic resilience. This episode unpacks how measuring HRV-CV isn't just about performance, but risk stratification and understanding your physiology over-time, not just day-to-day. (01:11) Intro To The Study: Why Is HRV-CV Important? (04:09) HRV-CV and Risk Stratification(08:28) Definition of HRV-CV(11:40) What HRV-CV Indicates in Athlete Recovery(14:26) Breaking Down The WHOOP Study(17:13) HRV-CV Trends in Shift Workers(21:21) Why Is HRV-CV an Important Biomarker?(25:18) HRV-CV Trends in Individuals on GLP-1 Medications(26:29) The Weather vs. The Climate: HRV vs. HRV-CV(33:41) The Results: Breaking Down the Data(36:37) How HRV-CV Responds to Certain Behaviors(39:38) Trends Between HRV-CV Between Age, Biological Sex, and Body Mass Index(49:54) How To Improve HRV-CV(56:39) New Research Roles and Opportunities at WHOOPReferences:American Journal of Physiology PublicationHRV-CV: The Key Metric for Lifestyle Consistency and StabilitySupport the showFollow WHOOP: Sign up for WHOOP Advanced Labs Trial WHOOP for Free www.whoop.com Instagram TikTok YouTube X Facebook LinkedIn Follow Will Ahmed: Instagram X LinkedIn Follow Kristen Holmes: Instagram LinkedIn Follow Emily Capodilupo: LinkedIn

Dr. Adam Dorsay introduces his podcast episode featuring Melissa Orlov, a Harvard-educated expert on ADHD and marriage and author of “The ADHD Effect on Marriage” and “The Couple's Guide to Thriving with ADHD.” They discuss what adult ADHD is and is not, emphasizing attention dysregulation, distractibility, impulsivity, planning and working-memory difficulties, and emotional dysregulation, along with the hereditary and neurochemical basis (notably low dopamine) and why stimulants can be calming by increasing dopamine availability. Dorsay shares his own late ADHD diagnosis, his first experience taking Ritalin, and how medication helped him build habits and identity-based changes he later maintained without medication.Orlov describes common, predictable relationship patterns in ADHD-impacted couples, including the “hyperfocus courtship” phase driven by elevated dopamine and the shift after 24–28 months when symptoms become more visible. She outlines the experiences of both partners: the ADHD partner often carries lifelong shame and sensitivity to criticism, while the non-ADHD partner can feel lonely, resentful, and overwhelmed by chaos and perceived lack of follow-through. They explore distractibility and how “new or shiny” can override what is important, and they highlight strengths often associated with ADHD such as creativity, energy, passion, and effective performance in high-stimulation contexts.Orlov presents a three-stage framework for healing: moving out of denial and learning how ADHD impacts relationships, both partners taking responsibility for their own work, and breaking entrenched patterns such as parent-child dynamics and “symptom-response-response” cycles by reframing symptoms and changing reactions. They address sleep hygiene as foundational, noting sleep deprivation can worsen or mimic ADHD symptoms, and discuss strategies like consistent bedtime routines, “sacred bedtime,” and limiting electronics and blue-light exposure. They also discuss how parent-child dynamics harm sexual connection, the importance of lowering pressure when restarting sex, and improving communication about sex. Orlov closes with the importance of rebuilding trust through transparency and ownership rather than equating trust solely with perfect follow-through, and she names self-compassion and compassion for others as the key skill she would give to everyone.00:00 Welcome to Dorsay00:28 ADHD and Marriage Stakes01:00 Meet Melissa Orlov03:00 Why ADHD Feels Familiar04:17 What ADHD Is and Isnt06:23 Why Stimulants Help07:38 Adams Diagnosis Story09:36 Medication Targets and Hope12:14 Habits and Identity Shifts13:15 Empathy for Both Partners14:50 ADHD Partner Childhood Shame20:13 Non ADHD Partner Experience22:19 Hyperfocus Courtship Chemistry24:46 Distractibility in Relationships26:49 Main Thing Mantra27:24 Medication to Structure28:39 ADHD Strengths Kept30:17 Three Stages Healing31:29 Breaking Bad Patterns34:57 Sleep Hygiene Fixes40:36 Electronics at Bedtime42:14 Sex and Reconnection49:06 Rebuilding Trust54:21 Compassion Magic Skill55:22 Closing ThanksHelpful Links:Melissa OrlovMelissa Orlov The Couple's Guide to Thriving with ADHD Book
