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.

What does it mean to age with dignity in today’s healthcare system? What will it take to truly transform how we care for older adults in America? In this episode, the first of a six-part series, we explored the documentary Aging in America: Survive or Thrive, created by the John A. Hartford Foundation. We spoke with Terry Fulmer, PhD, RN, FAAN, president of The John A. Hartford Foundation, to explore the legacy of Dr. Robert Butler and how hospitals are utilizing the “4 Ms” framework (What Matters, Medication, Mentation, Mobility) to enhance care for older adults. We dive into the stark disparities based on income, race, and geography, and highlight programs working to close those gaps. From dementia care models to creative workforce solutions and caregiver support, this conversation offers a hopeful, practical look at reimagining aging in America.

Dr. Jarratt Pytell stops by the show to discuss his recent article featured in the Journal of Addiction Medicine titled Post Void Residuals: Medications for Opioid Use Disorder, Patient Outcomes, and How Not to Get Fooled by Urine Toxicology Results - Article Link: Void Residuals: Medications for Opioid Use Disorder, Patient Outcomes, and How Not to Get Fooled by Urine Toxicology Results

If you could take two pills (once a week) and live 30% longer, would you? Because a study on mice using drugs approved for humans suggests you may have to answer this question soon.

If you've got a health problem, if you've got a mental problem, if you can't sleep, if you're fat, enormous, obese, don't worry. All your problems can be solved with a pill, an injection. a prescription - or even no prescription. That's the clear message we've been getting from regulators. From Tuesday, the Hollywood weight-loss drug Weygovey, like Ozempic, will be available here, not for diabetes, but to shift weight. People aren't being told to not get fat, they're being told once they get too big, a drug will make them small again. Melatonin will now be available over-the-counter for those who can't sleep. Forget counting sheep, or wearing yourself out with exercise, pop a pill and go to sleep. You can now get an ADHD diagnosis from your GP or nurse practitioner - usually, you'd need to see a psychiatrist. We're prescribing ten times the amount of meds than we were 15-odd years ago. We spoke to a guy this week on the show with ADHD who said the law change is a good thing, but he also warned about TikTok - lots of young people are getting diagnosed by TikTok and running around telling everyone they've got a neuro disorder when, actually, they're just spending too much time on their phones and hunting for likes. The question is whether as a society, as a species, all this pill popping medication is evolution or insanity. Is the fact we've we're wealthy enough to eat ourselves half to death then fix it all with a simple twice-weekly injection a sign we're smart, or incredibly stupid?See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this deeply human and research-informed conversation, clinical research specialist Grace Ogren joins Avik Chakraborty to unpack the complexity of depression and how it's commonly misunderstood. From her personal experience with chronic suicidality and psychiatric treatment to her work with emerging therapies like ketamine, Grace speaks candidly about the real barriers to healing, the misconceptions around antidepressants, and why access—especially in rural areas—remains a critical issue. This is not a conversation about quick fixes but about how healing actually unfolds—messy, nonlinear, and courageous. About the Guest:Grace Ogren is a mental health researcher, writer, and clinical research specialist at Recovery.com. Drawing from both professional expertise and lived experience, Grace brings clarity to complicated mental health topics, including depression, suicidality, psychiatric stigma, and the therapeutic potential of ketamine. She's committed to making mental healthcare more honest, informed, and accessible. Key Takeaways: Depression isn't just sadness—it's a complete shift in how the brain functions, and it affects every aspect of daily life. Ketamine therapy, while not a cure, can provide relief when traditional medications fail, helping patients access deeper therapeutic healing. There's still significant stigma surrounding psychiatric medication—Grace urges we treat it no differently than taking meds for any other chronic condition. Rural communities face serious mental health care shortages, making telehealth a vital bridge. Medications aren't Band-Aids; they're tools that can help stabilize someone enough to benefit from deeper therapy and recovery work.

If you've ever been prescribed medication for overactive bladder, you might wonder what it's actually doing and what the risks are. In this episode, I break down the two main types of medications used to treat OAB: anticholinergics and beta-3 agonists. We'll talk about how they work, the side effects (including memory concerns), and how to weigh the benefits and risks. I also explore alternative options like Botox and nerve stimulation, and why shared decision-making with your provider matters more than ever.

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?

Dr. Jack Stockwell (www.forbiddendoctor.com & www.jackstockwell.com | Phone: 866-867-5070), a GAPS Practitioner and NUCCA Chiropractor, discusses the biggest concerns for health and medical news from a natural position over a Western Medicine approach.Dr. Jack starts today's episode with Robert Kennedy Jr's latest move to remove COVID-19 vaccination recommendation for healthy children and pregnant women, why so many refused to get these shots, and the harm it has caused some who have gotten the vaccine.Plus, a strong encouragement to look at the full list of ingredients and understand what the vaccines you are getting, and giving to your children, are made from and possible side effects before blindly following suit because you feel you were told to do so.Dr. Jack shares that the number of children in America with chronic diseases has grown significantly, from 50%, over the past few decades. To be clear, Dr. Jack is not anti-vaccinations. Dr. Jack is anti-unsafe-medical-procedures and is actively for informed consent.Website: GoodDayHealthShow.comSocial Media: @GoodDayNetworks

Episode #157: Today we are joined by Dr. Jason Feldman, pediatric neuropsychologist.  Renowned pediatric neuropsychologist Dr. Jason Feldman joins us to share his expertise on the intricate link between brain function and child behavior. Together, we explore the complexities of ADD, ADHD, autism, and more. We discuss how these challenges can impact your child's development and academic progress. Dr. Feldman explains how comprehensive evaluations can pinpoint learning disorders, attention difficulties, and emotional challenges. For parents, educators, and pediatricians seeking practical guidance, this episode offers invaluable insights to enhance children's well-being both at home and in school. Unpacking the emotional journey parents often undergo, we address the difficult decisions surrounding support for children with ADHD, speech therapy needs, and other developmental concerns. Drawing from my professional experiences in clinical psychology and neuropsychology, I highlight the courage it takes for parents to seek expert help. The discussion touches on overcoming feelings of defensiveness and guilt, emphasizing the importance of prioritizing a child's growth over personal ego. By turning to specialists like Dr. Feldman, parents take a proactive step that's crucial for their child's success. We also guide listeners through the process of obtaining neuropsychological evaluations and recognize critical developmental warning signs. Understand when an assessment might be necessary and what it involves, as Dr. Feldman outlines a thorough and child-friendly approach to testing. From ADHD's genetic influences to weighing medication versus alternative treatments, this episode provides clarity for parents navigating these challenges. We highlight the importance of early intervention for autism and other conditions, ensuring you have the knowledge to support your child effectively. Lastly, don't forget about your own well-being; caring for a child with these challenges requires patience and self-care.

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. From his early days buying “suspect” creatine when people thought it might be “steroids” to his current mission of refocusing GNC on consumer needs, Michael's story demonstrates the power of authentic leadership rooted in genuine industry passion. The conversation explores GNC's unique franchise-corporate hybrid model, the strategic positioning around GLP-1 medications, and Michael's vision for making GNC the trusted destination for personalized supplement guidance. His insights into ingredient trends, consumer education, and the critical importance of knowledgeable staff reveal why GNC remains essential in an increasingly crowded marketplace. https://blog.priceplow.com/podcast/gnc-ceo-michael-costello-170 Video: GNC CEO Michael Costello Shares His Consumer-First Vision https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rU1j_OaTGJ4 Detailed Show Notes: Michael Costello's Mission to Refocus GNC (0:00) – Introduction: Meeting GNC's CEO at Global Conference (1:00) – GNC's Unique Franchise-Corporate Hybrid Model (4:15) – Personal Journey: From Volleyball Courts to Corporate Leadership (8:00) – Professional Evolution: From Clorox to GNC (10:15) – The GNC Turnaround Strategy: Refocusing on Consumers (12:00) – The Power of Personalized Guidance vs. Big Box Retail (13:45) – Strategic Positioning Around GLP-1 Medications (16:45) – Ingredient Trends and Science-Based Decision Making (18:15) – Daily Routine and Leadership Philosophy (19:45) – Healing the Corporate-Franchise Relationship (21:30) – The Global Convention Philosophy (22:00) – Future Vision and Call to Action: Give GNC Another Chance Where to Follow Michael Costello and GNC Michael Costello: LinkedIn GNC: Website Related Episodes: Jack Sehgal & Ben Benedict – Nutralabz Story – Episode #169 Jose Antonio – ISSN & Creatine History – Episode #137 Thank you to Michael for sharing his remarkable journey and vision for GNC's future.
