Diren Kartal joins James Smith for an honest, often hilarious conversation about what running a small business actually does to you once the money is coming in but the freedom isn't. Diren is a personal trainer and Turkey's number one fitness coach with over 1.2 million followers, and despite bringing in hundreds of thousands a year he can't shake the feeling that none of it sticks. Together they unpick the tax trap that's bleeding British high-earners dry, the brutal "valley of death" stage of scaling, his secret ADHD diagnosis, and why the two of them keep eyeing the exits to Australia, Dubai and Turkey.

Laura Delano was a high-achieving student—straight-A's, national squash ranking, class president—whose private suffering led to an early bipolar diagnosis and a lifetime prognosis of medication. After initially resisting, she spent the next decade immersed in elite psychiatric care, accumulating multiple diagnoses and nineteen medications, only to worsen and be labeled "treatment resistant." Following a suicide attempt at twenty-seven, Laura began asking a forbidden question: what if the treatment itself was the problem? Choosing to leave behind drugs and diagnoses, she became an outspoken ex-patient, writer, and advocate—working with individuals, families, and clinicians to address psychiatric drug withdrawal, patient rights, and the deeper social forces shaping modern mental health.  In this episode, Dr. Brian, Dr. Tro, and Laura talk about… (00:00) Intro (02:06) Laura's bipolar diagnosis and how it impacted her life as a young person (14:20) Psychiatric drugs and the polypharmacological approach to addressing mental health issues (23:04) The metabolic, spiritual, and emotional issues underlying psychiatric disorder (31:08) How Laura finally realized that the answer to her psychiatric problems was not more meds and traditional psychiatric care (34:10) Major issues in the psychiatric health care system (36:47) Anti-psychotic drugs, food addiction, and alcoholism (40:41) Finally coming off of all the psychiatric drugs that Laura had been on for half her life (48:17) Gut health, lifestyle factors, and mental health (50:49) Why it is so hard to find your way out of the psychiatric care system (55:13) Safe de-prescription and informed consent in psychiatric care (01:03:03) Fake empathy, moral corruption, and systemic issues in medical care that are perpetuating these major problems (01:09:10) Outro For more information, please see the links below.

Can a simple blood test predict Alzheimer's before symptoms start? Is pink noise the secret to a better night's sleep? Join Tanner, Dr. Miles, and Jade (Mortal Kombat warrior?) for another breakdown of the latest headlines in medicine and health science. In this episode, we're diving into three fascinating updates you can actually use to improve your daily life: A Major Leap in Alzheimer's Screening: We discuss a new, highly accessible, and affordable blood test that is changing the game for early detection. The Color of Sound: You've definitely heard of white noise, but we look at why pink noise might be the superior option for deeper, more restorative sleep. Or maybe it's not! Beyond Antibiotics: We all know how antibiotics disrupt the gut microbiome, but new research shows that common medications (including popular diabetes and high blood pressure drugs) can also dramatically alter your gut health for better or worse. At HFWDM, we do the heavy lifting in the deep waters of medical research so you don't have to.

In this episode of Mind the Meds, Erica Marini, PharmD, highlights information from the European Stroke Organization Conference include encouraging data on asundexian(Bayer), a factor XIa inhibitor showing reduced recurrent ischemic stroke risk without increased bleeding, as well as positive results from three trials of tirofiban in acute ischemic stroke settings. On the multiple sclerosis (MS) front, Marini covers the FDA approval of ocrelizumab (Ocrevus; Genentech) for pediatric relapsing-remitting MS in children 10 and older, a new study supporting early use of high-efficacy agents in pediatric MS, and 2 Lancet publications on ocrelizumab — one examining higher weight-adjusted dosing (which did not improve disability progression) and one confirming benefit in a broader primary progressive MS population. She also briefly discusses PADOVA (NCT04777331), a phase 2b trial of prasinezumab in early Parkinson's disease, which failed to meet its primary end point.The bulk of the episode is a discussion with guest Millad Sobhanian, PharmD, BCPS, clinical pharmacy specialist in neurology at the University of Maryland, focused on Alzheimer disease. They cover dextromethorphan/bupropion (Auvelity; Axsome Therapeutics), newly approved in April 2026 for agitation associated with Alzheimer dementia. Sobhanian walks through key safety considerations—including additive NMDA antagonism if combined with memantine, cardiovascular risks from the bupropion component, and the ever-present black box warning on antipsychotics in dementia patients—while both note that the efficacy data, though statistically significant, shows modest clinical effect sizes compared to the threshold for meaningful within-patient change.The conversation then turns to lecanemab's subcutaneous initiation formulation (Leqembi Iqlik; Eisai, Biogen), whose FDA decision has been delayed to about August 2026 as regulators seek more data on bioavailability and ARIA monitoring in the at-home setting. Sobhanian shares his real-world perspective on anti-amyloid therapy, describing a patient population that is typically early-stage, high-functioning, and has a mean age of about 60 to 70 years, and emphasizing the pharmacist's role in expectation-setting around the modest but potentially cumulative slowing of cognitive decline. The episode closes with a thorough discussion of the April 2026 Cochrane review on amyloid-targeting monoclonal antibodies, which both Marini and Sobhanian find overly broad in its conclusions. They note limitations such as the inclusion of withdrawn agents like aducanumab (Aduhelm; Biogen), heterogeneous inclusion criteria across trials, and an 18-month study horizon that may be too short to capture the full benefit suggested by longer-term open-label extension data.Key Takeaways:1. New options for Alzheimer's agitation exist, but fit carefully into the treatment algorithm. Dextromethorphan/bupropion offers a novel NMDA-based mechanism for treating agitation in Alzheimer dementia, but its clinical effect size is modest, and it carries meaningful safety considerations—particularly around the bupropion component in elderly patients. Like all pharmacologic options in this space, it remains a later-line choice after nonpharmacologic interventions have been exhausted, and medication reconciliation is critical given its interaction potential with memantine and CYP2D6 inhibitors.2. Anti-amyloid therapies are imperfect but not ready to be written off. The April 2026 Cochrane review drew significant attention with its conclusion that anti-amyloid monoclonal antibodies produce only trivial cognitive benefits, but its findings are limited by the inclusion of older, withdrawn agents, heterogeneous trial populations, and an 18-month time horizon that may be too short to capture the full trajectory of benefit.3. The pharmacist's role in anti-amyloid therapy goes well beyond dispensing. As illustrated by Sobhanian's practice at the University of Maryland, clinical pharmacists embedded in neurology clinics play a critical role in patient selection, expectation-setting, ARIA counseling, and informed decision-making for patients considering anti-amyloid therapy—a complex, high-stakes treatment decision that these patients and their caregivers should never be navigating alone.

In this episode of Mind Your Own Karma – Beyond theBandage, I sit down with Dr. Fawad Mian, a board-certifiedneurologist, regenerative medicine specialist, and founder of Vitality Integrative Wellness, to challenge one of the most common narratives around aging and pain—that chronic pain after 50 is inevitable and must be managed with medications or surgery. After experiencing multiple injuries himself and being toldthose were his only options, Dr. Mian chose a different path. Through regenerative therapies like PRP and stem cells, combined with detailed diagnostics and a unique approach to re-movement, he healed his own body—and built a practice centered on helping others do the same. This conversation is for anyone who feels dismissed, rushed,or stuck in the cycle of symptom management. We talk about why pain becomes chronic, what's often missed in traditional care, and how the body's capacity to heal doesn't simply disappear with age.What you'll learn in this episode:Why chronic pain is not “just part of getting older”How regenerative medicine works at the tissue and nervous system levelWhat PRP and stem cell therapies actually do inside the bodyHow Dr. Mian evaluates the root cause of pain, not just where it hurtsWhat re-movement is and why exercise alone often isn't enoughHow to know if regenerative medicine may be right for youThe questions to ask so you can make informed, confident decisionsWhy hope and healing are still possible well beyond 50Where to find Dr. Fawad Mian:Website: https://prolohealing.com/Website: https://www.advocareneurowellnessmd.com/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@prolohealingLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/fawad-mian-40aaaa150/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/prolohealingmedspa/Book: Getting to Pain Free: How to Make Your Body Stop Hurting So You Can Start Living Without Drugs or Surgeryhttps://www.amazon.com/dp/B0D46W27T5FIND MELISSAON WEBSITES:⁠https://www.somatichealingjourneys.com⁠⁠https://www.mindyourownkarma.com⁠ON SOCIALSMYOK on Instagram:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/mind_your_own_karma⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠MYOK on Facebook:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.facebook.com/mindyourownkarma⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠MYOK on YouTube:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/@MindYourOwnKarma⁠⁠This episode is for educational purposes only and is notintended as medical advice.#MindYourOwnKarma #SomaticMindfulGuidedImagery #SMGI #SomaticHealingJourneys #RegenerativeMedicine #ChronicPainRecovery #StemCellTherapy #PRPTherapy #NeurologyMeetsHealing #HealingWithoutMeds #MovementReeducation #PainFreeLiving #Over50AndThriving#AlternativeHealingModalities #RootCauseHealing #HighPerformanceHealing #HolisticNeurology #DrFawadMian #MindBodyMedicine #PainIsNotYourNormal #ChronicPain

Welcome back, everyone. Today we're diving into one of the most hotly debated topics in obstetrics- should we be treating preeclampsia without severe features with antihypertensive medications during expectant management? Now, if you've been following the literature- and our show, you know that the landmark CHAP trial changed the game for chronic hypertension in pregnancy. It showed us that targeting a blood pressure below 140 over 90 reduces serious maternal complications, without harming the baby. That was a big deal. But here's the thing, CHAP studied chronic hypertension. Then there was the CHIP trial- that also found that tight control of gestational hypertension and nonproteinuric chronic hypertension was also beneficial. These did not address preeclampsia without severe features, and yet, the ripple effects of that trial have sparked a global conversation about whether we should be extending those same treatment principles to women with preeclampsia who don't yet have severe features. And this is where it gets really interesting, because the guidelines don't agree. In the United States, ACOG and the Society for Maternal-Fetal Medicine still say: hold off on antihypertensives unless blood pressures hit the severe range at 160/110. But step outside the US, and you'll find the World Health Organization, the International Society for the Study of Hypertension in Pregnancy, FIGO, NICE, and Hypertension Canada all recommending treatment at 140 over 90, regardless of whether the diagnosis is chronic hypertension, gestational hypertension, or preeclampsia. So who's right? And more importantly what does this mean for the patient sitting in front of you right now, at 34 weeks, with a blood pressure of 150 over 95, some proteinuria, but no severe features? Today, we're going to break this down. We'll review the controversy, walk through the divergent guidelines, and most importantly talk about the real, practical implications that favor treating these patients during expectant management. Because when you're watching someone with preeclampsia, waiting for the right time to deliver, there's a strong argument that controlling their blood pressure isn't just reasonable…may be protective. So grab your coffee, settle in, and let's get into it.1.

If I couldn't, or didn't want to, take ADHD medication, how would I support my brain?In this episode, I'm walking you through exactly how I'd approach ADHD treatment without meds. This is not anti-medication content. Medication helps me tremendously. But many people don't have access, don't tolerate it well, or simply don't want to take it. You still deserve support.We're talking about what actually helps ADHD brains function: external support, nervous system regulation, movement, sunlight, sleep, structure, accountability, relationships, and designing a life that works with your brain instead of against it.I share what I'd invest in if I had financial resources, like coaching, meal support, cleaning help, therapy, and body doubling, and what I'd focus on if I had zero extra money.Because treatment isn't just medication. It's how you structure your environment, care for your nervous system, fuel your body, and build support around you.You are not powerless. ADHD support is built, not found.Watch this episode on YouTubeWant help with your ADHD? Join FOCUSED!Have questions for Kristen?

What if the most powerful tool for mental health recovery isn't a medication — it's your metabolism?  Dr. Erin Louise Bellamy joins Dr. Vera Tarman for a deep dive into ketogenic metabolic therapy: what it is, how it works, and why it may be one of the most underutilized interventions in both psychiatric care and food addiction recovery.  Dr. Bellamy is a chartered psychologist, CEO of IKRT (International Ketogenic Research & Therapy), and a research fellow at the University of East London. She has been researching and applying ketogenic metabolic therapy in clinical settings since 2014, with a background that bridges eating disorders, psychiatric research, and metabolic health.  In this episode, Vera and Erin discuss:  How Erin went from eating disorder and alexithymia research to ketogenic metabolic psychiatry — and why the field's "biopsychosocial" model was missing the bio  The difference between metabolic psychiatry, ketogenic therapy, and therapeutic carbohydrate restriction — and why the terminology matters  What carbohydrate range actually produces therapeutic ketosis (and why "dirty keto" doesn't cut it)  The shared mechanistic pathways across psychiatric diagnoses — including mitochondrial dysfunction, insulin resistance, and neuroinflammation  Why antipsychotic medications create metabolic dysfunction, and how ketogenic therapy can help offset those side effects  The GABA/glutamate shift that makes ketones naturally anxiolytic — and why this may work differently than the serotonin model of depression  The "buffer effect": what it feels like to be in ketosis when you're a food addict — and why some people describe it as a pane of glass between themselves and a trigger food  How ketogenic therapy compares to GLP-1 medications (Ozempic/Wegovy) for reducing food noise — and Erin's concerns about the long-term research  MCT oil vs. exogenous ketones: when each is useful, and when exogenous ketones are counterproductive  Applying ketogenic therapy to people with ADHD, bipolar disorder, and co-occurring food addiction  How to support vegan or plant-based clients who want to pursue ketogenic therapy  Why the first week matters most — and how to help clients through withdrawal without triggering a binge  The 19-person IKRT group program published in Frontiers — and what's coming next in the research  Connect with Dr. Erin Bellamy:  

If you've done the therapy, set the boundaries, and still find your body holding onto stress, symptoms, or chronic issues, this episode will shift how you understand healing entirely.In this conversation, Dr. Kelly Kessler sits down with Marcus Fernandez, a global leader in homeopathic education and Principal of the Centre for Homeopathic Education, to explore what it really means to heal at the root—not just manage symptoms.Marcus shares how a personal health experience led him from a completely conventional path into natural medicine, and why true healing isn't about fixing the body—it's about activating the intelligence already within it. Together, they unpack:Why so many high-achieving women still feel unwell even after “doing the work”The difference between symptom suppression and true root-cause healingHow homeopathy works (and why it's more individualized than conventional approaches)The hidden ways we've been conditioned to give our health power awayThe 4 foundational pillars (MEDS framework) that create real, sustainable wellnessWhy your body already knows how to heal and what blocks that processThis episode is not about rejecting modern medicine. It's about becoming informed, empowered, and deeply connected to your own body again.If you've been overriding your body for years…This conversation will show you a different way back.Marcus Fernandez has been at the forefront of homeopathic education for over three decades. As Principal of The Centre for Homeopathic Education (CHE), he's trained thousands of practitioners through a curriculum that balances classical knowledge with modern application. His work is rooted in a belief that natural medicine should be practical, empowering, and accessible - not mystified or gatekept.His latest book 'Homeopathy at Home' reflects that ethos. Designed to be used, not shelved, it offers simple, step-by-step guidance for everyday ailments using natural remedies. Its success, reaching #1 in Amazon's holistic medicine category, reflects a rising demand for family-focused, self-directed wellness. Marcus also created an AI-powered virtual assistant that lets people ask home prescribing questions 24/7 - a project born from his desire to make quality natural health advice as available as online misinformation.While his formal background is in homeopathy, Marcus speaks just as comfortably about men's health, slow living, and holistic longevity. He co-hosts Beyond the Shed, a raw and reflective podcast spotlighting unfiltered conversations about men's emotional health — part of a wider mission to create space for honesty, healing, and ownership in the way we care for ourselves and each other.Whether he's teaching herbal remedies in a London classroom or exploring health span strategies on a podcast, Marcus brings curiosity, compassion, and depth to every conversation. His message is clear: the body already knows how to heal — we just have to give it the right tools. Marcus' warmth and wisdom makes natural health both useful and deeply human.Connect with Marcus:https://www.youtube.com/@Homeopathy-at-Homehttps://marcus-fernandez.com/https://www.linkedin.com/in/marcus-fernandez-98252523/https://www.instagram.com/marcusfndez/https://www.facebook.com/people/Marcus-Fernandez/100009253627766/?skhttps://www.amazon.co.uk/Homeopathy-Home-Everyday-Treatments-Complaints/dp/1837823189

You're trying to focus on your work, but that bag of sea salt chips in the pantry is practically shouting your name. You try to ignore it, but five minutes later, you're standing in the kitchen with the lid off the ice cream, wondering why you can't just stop thinking about it. If you know, you know... that relentless mental chatter. If you've tried to quiet this noise in the past and struggled, you were likely fighting an unknown cause: internal programming that most diets completely ignore. Most people don't realize that this chatter isn't a lack of willpower; it's a physiological response that can be rewired at the source.In this episode, we're tackling it head-on. As you discover the 3 pillars to reclaiming your mental freedom, you'll quickly begin to realize what it's like to live without food being the main character of your internal monologue: Stabilizing hunger hormones so your body stops sending you into a spiralEnhancing satiety both physical and psychological, because restriction alone will never workRewiring your brain using neuroscience-based techniques to change how you respond to cravings at the sourceYou'll also hear why GLP-1 medications alone aren't the full answer, the "Yes And" technique for breaking the all-or-nothing cycle, and why managing stress isn't always about meditation, sometimes it means making the hard calls.This isn't another restrictive diet tip. This is about updating your internal programming so you can navigate food, and life, with real, lasting confidence.P.S. I know you're busy, so mark June 8th on your calendar now. That's when our immersive 5-day experience begins, and we'll start the rewiring process for good. Don't even think about starting another diet until you've experienced this. Did you enjoy the episode?  DM me on instagram and let me know what you thought. 

Health/lifestyle consultant, 14-year carnivore and drummer Phil Escott got chronically ill as a vegetarian, and his body revolted with psoriatic arthritis and other autoimmune conditions in 2010, leaving him unable to move without severe pain, let alone drum or exercise, and he had to throw out all his existing “expertise” and start from scratch. Phil's eventual combination of a carnivore diet with EMF and artificial light avoidance, cold thermogenesis and a range of other health enhancing practices reversed the “incurable” diseases that he suffered from. His book “Arthritis, The Best Thing That Ever Happened to Me” gained a foreword by Dr. Jack Kruse and has become an Amazon Kindle bestseller and is now available in print. Phil talks from personal experience about contemporary lifestyle and diet choices, disconnects from our ancestral heritage, emotional balancing and the simple but often misunderstood nature of spiritual awakening. He now consults with clients worldwide helping them to reverse their metabolic and autoimmune issues and runs The Big Fat Challenge with Ben Hunt as his main project. His latest book, the "Red Pill Revolution" is awesome. Melissa Lim is a Canadian American Pharmacist and volleyball player/enthusiast. She was inspired by a previous episode with "meat militia" member Phil Escott and leader Dr Bart Kay. Her journey on completely overhauling her diet has had life changing results, from getting rid of Acne she has had since age 9, to an energy level and clarity that is shooting through the roof. The chronological path of paying it forward continues. 02:39 - Melissa's journey to carnivorism, the ailments the journey, the right path, Phils tells his journey of the same that led to his first book 26:23 - Why carnivorism is now a growing culture, not a diet but a species appropriate way of life, how to maintain sources of vitamin C, discussing the notion that athletes "need" carbohydrates or not, the glycemic chart and how to use it 39:33 - Having the difficult discussion with loved ones on the benefits or health changes, perhaps best to lead by example and show the results, first-hand, understanding that the opposition is not monolithic, the division between the stubborn, the willfully ignorant, and how the sales pitch can help people or turn them off 50:01 - Getting rid of foods that are addictive and diminishing your quality of life, who needs this more than most and how to help 1:12:33 - The silly notion of this being a "grift" (the censorship, the loss of reputation, the amount of work being done for free), the perfect "stool" lol, the attack by General Mills on our breakfast index, and why none of it was scientific 1:23:42 - Meds that help and meds that kick the can down the road, the leaky gut, inflammation, HDL and LDL and how people misinterpret it, what you are being told to do, vs the one who has to live with the results (you), plus, what feeds the gut Biome? 1:37:39 - HDL and LDL and how people misinterpret it, seed oils, and throwing away the meat for the sins of the bun, plus, new events, retreats, seminars and getaways

Could the "weight-loss shots" everyone is talking about actually be the next big breakthrough in cancer prevention? In this week's episode of the FMI podcast, I'm joined once again by our Chief Medical Officer, Dr. Mark Holthouse. While Dr. H is a world-renowned expert in hormone health and cardiometabolic medicine, today we are diving into a topic that is reshaping the future of longevity: the direct link between obesity-related cancers and GLP-1 medications. We recently learned that colon cancer is now the leading cause of cancer death for men and women under 50. It's a sobering statistic, but there is hope in the evolving science of metabolic medicine. In this episode, we discuss: The "Four Horsemen" of Aging: Why cardiovascular disease, cancer, dementia, and insulin resistance are all driven by the same cellular pathways. GLP-1s Beyond Weight Loss: How medications like Semaglutide and Tirzepatide work at the cellular level to potentially reduce tumor volume and progression. The "New Kid on the Block": A deep dive into Retatrutide, the experimental triple-agonist showing even more dramatic results in preclinical models. Obesity-Related Cancers: Why fatty liver, chronic inflammation, and nutrient-sensing pathways (like mTOR) create a "pro-cancer milieu." The "Foundational Four": Why, despite all the medical breakthroughs, sleep, clean eating, stress management, and exercise remain the ultimate levers for health. Dr. Holthouse also shares his "minimalist" approach to detoxification and why he's more interested in "reining patients in" from expensive gadgets to focus on what actually moves the needle. Whether you are interested in the latest longevity science or simply looking for ways to lower your family's risk of chronic disease, this conversation is packed with "root cause" insights you won't want to miss.

In this powerful and deeply raw episode of Autism for Badass Moms, host Rashidah sits down with R.S. Cole, a 40-year-old mother of four from Houston, whose journey through autism parenting has been anything but ordinary.After her youngest son, J, was diagnosed with autism at just 2 years old, R.S. quickly realized the harsh reality many families face — a system that often falls short. Instead of accepting it, she chose to become the change. Driven by love and necessity, she became a Behavioral Therapist, dedicating her life to supporting families who, like her, were navigating a lack of resources and support.R.S. speaks with honesty and courage about the full spectrum of autism parenting — the structured, “good” days… and the incredibly difficult ones marked by defiance, destruction, medication side effects, and emotional exhaustion. Even now, as her son is 14, the fight for appropriate care and support continues.Beyond her lived experience, R.S. has transformed her pain into purpose. As a Holistic Practitioner with multiple certifications, she is the founder of A Beautiful Mind — a nonprofit and private community created to be a beacon of hope for families navigating life after a neurodiversity diagnosis.Her impact doesn't stop there.R.S. is also:`-Author of 14 books-Creator of a transformative course blending Behavioral Therapy, Metaphysics, and Energetic Healing-Currently in Clinical Admission for a renowned ABA therapy organization, using her voice and presence to push for meaningful changeIn this episode, we discuss: 00:00 Badass Moms Welcome00:40 Episode Topic CPS Trauma02:25 Meet RS Cole 04:10 Dog Talk05:54 Early Regression Signs07:11 Therapy Daycare Wake Up08:36 Home Support Breakthrough11:47 Diagnosis Delays System Gaps14:29 School Moves Behavior Escalation21:24 Day Treatment COVID Homeschool23:15 Medication Struggles Bestie Support28:08 School Pressure Door Visit31:05 CPS Well Check Shock33:00 False Report Debunked34:30 School Blocks Withdrawal35:08 Truancy Threats Escalate36:21 IEP Showdown With Backup39:29 Homeschool Reset and SSDI Tip41:03 ABA Aging Out and Texas Move42:24 Family Rally and Community Support45:19 Building NeuroSpirits Mission48:49 Protocols and Holistic Tools52:10 Caregiver Grief and Regulation56:45 Know Your Rights Advice01:00:26 Badass Wrap and CalloutsConnect with R.S.

"Do I have to take these meds forever?" It's the most common question psychiatrists hear, but the answer is rarely a simple yes or no. In this episode, hosts Gabe Howard (living with bipolar) and Dr. Nicole Washington (board-certified psychiatrist) dive into the risks, the realities, and the honest conversations most doctors avoid when it comes to stopping bipolar medication. They break down why "cold turkey" is a recipe for disaster and explain the equally dangerous "hot turkey" otherwise known as restarting a full medication cocktail after a long break. Gabe shares his own journey of switching doctors to find a specialist in titration, illustrating the difference between "Mercedes Benz care" and trying to navigate a "hoopty" ride on your own. Dr. Nicole explains the science of brain receptors, the logistical hurdles of compounding pharmacies, and why the medical community is often resistant to "deprescribing." Listeners Will Learn: ·  Instead of "stopping" try reframing the conversation as "decreasing reliance" ·  Why lowering your medication slowly gives you better results ·  Finding a psych doctor who understands "deprescribing" may take time ·  A successful, safe medication adjustment can take a year or more—it is a marathon, not a sprint  Whether you're struggling with side effects like brain fog and sexual dysfunction or you simply want to feel more in control, this episode offers a roadmap for having an honest, data-driven conversation with your treatment team. Learn why "decreasing reliance" on medication is often a more successful goal than quitting entirely, and how to treat bumps in the road as data points rather than failures. "Most people think stopping meds is like flipping a light switch—on Monday you're on them, and on Tuesday you're not. But in reality, it's a slow, medical taper. It's more accurate to describe this as 'decreasing our reliance' rather than just quitting, so we can actually see what the data tells us." ~Gabe Howard, Host Our host, Gabe Howard, is an award-winning podcast host, author, and sought-after suicide prevention and mental health speaker, but he wouldn't be any of those things today if he hadn't been committed to a psychiatric hospital in 2003.Gabe also hosts Healthline's Inside Mental Health podcast has appeared in numerous publications, including Bipolar magazine, WebMD, Newsweek, and the Stanford Online Medical Journal. He has appeared on all four major TV networks, ABC, NBC, CBS, and FOX. Among his many awards, he is the recipient of Mental Health America's Norman Guitry Award, received two Webby Honoree acknowledgements, and received an official resolution from the Governor of Ohio naming him an “Everyday Hero.” Gabe wrote the popular book, "Mental Illness is an Asshole and other Observations," available from Amazon; signed copies are available directly from the author with free swag included! To learn more about Gabe, or to book him for your next event, please visit his website, gabehoward.com. Our host, Dr. Nicole Washington, is a native of Baton Rouge, Louisiana, where she attended Southern University and A&M College. After receiving her BS degree, she moved to Tulsa, Oklahoma to enroll in the Oklahoma State University College of Osteopathic Medicine. She completed a residency in psychiatry at the University of Oklahoma in Tulsa. Since completing her residency training, Dr. Nicole has spent most of her career caring for and being an advocate for those who are not typically consumers of mental health services, namely underserved communities, those with severe mental health conditions, and high performing professionals. Through her private practice, podcast, speaking, and writing, she seeks to provide education to decrease the stigma associated with psychiatric conditions. Find out more at DrNicolePsych.com.

Send us Fan MailAI chatbots are everywhere now, and the real problem is not cheating or convenience. It is what happens to your brain when a tool offers a confident answer before you have wrestled with the evidence. We break down a fascinating study on generative AI and critical thinking that puts people in a city council scenario, forces a decision under time pressure, and tests how early versus late AI access changes argument quality, memory, and bias. The takeaway is practical for students, teachers, and anyone writing for work: timing matters, and “think first, then ask AI” is a stronger strategy than outsourcing the whole frame.Then we shift into pet science with a topic that hits right as spring arrives: flea and tick medication for dogs and cats. These antiparasitic drugs are effective, but new research suggests residues of common ingredients like isoxazoline can persist and enter the environment through pet waste. That raises uncomfortable questions about non-target insects, nutrient cycling, and the tradeoff between protecting our pets and protecting ecosystem health.Finally, volcanologist Dr. Sam Mitchell joins us for an Ask an Expert that moves from Antarctica to the ocean floor, where most of Earth's volcanic activity actually happens. We talk seafloor basalt, subduction zones, disaster movies worth watching, and the geology behind Olympic curling stones made from granite sourced on a tiny Scottish island. If you like science communication that connects daily life to big systems, this one is for you. Dr. Mitchell's LinksOur LinksAll our social links are here!Support the showFor Science, Empathy, and Cuteness!Being Kind is a Superpower.All our social links are here!

You know how most things your conventional doctor tells you are wrong? Well, the same applies to your vet!

This week's stories: Smartphone App Catches What Sleep Trackers Miss A 2026 trial found that suvorexant, a popular prescription sleep drug, improves sleep quality scores — but worsens morning alertness and cognitive function while improving afternoon and evening performance. The study used a smartphone app to pulse users throughout the day, revealing a split-time-of-day signal that traditional sleep scales miss entirely. Optimizing your sleep dashboard and optimizing your waking performance are not the same thing. Sources: https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/fullarticle/suvorexant-ema-trial-2026 https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/suvorexant-daytime-performance Bats Are Breaking the Telomere Model A 2026 bioRxiv preprint on the tropical bat species Molossus molossus found that these animals live unusually long lives with almost no telomere shortening — challenging the assumption that telomere erosion is a universal driver of mammalian aging. Instead, the bats maintain genome integrity through superior DNA repair and oxidative stress management driven by the metabolic demands of flight. Telomere length may be a symptom, not the cause — and the longevity industry has been measuring the wrong thing.

The mechanism is dual — soluble galactomannan fibers slow carbohydrate absorption while bioactive compounds improve insulin receptor sensitivity in muscle and liver. It's a cheap, food-grade, CGM-trackable lever that most people have never tried.

Arterial stiffness improved by 1.18 meters per second — equivalent to reversing roughly a decade of age-related decline. Blood pressure dropped 6.1 millimeters of mercury, outperforming aerobic exercise, HIIT, the DASH diet, omega-3s, and magnesium in head-to-head comparisons.

CO binds to hemoglobin more tightly than oxygen, quietly starving your brain, heart, and muscles while producing symptoms that mimic fatigue, brain fog, and the flu. The CDC estimates more than 400 Americans die from unintentional CO poisoning every year — and most of them never saw it coming.

The mechanism appears to be a mixed-fuel training effect: the liver and muscle learn to manage glucose and fat concurrently when both are present during high metabolic demand. Context changes the calculus, and the workout itself may be the variable that flips the equation.
