What would change if your inner critic had a microphone and your best friend could hear every word? We put that scenario to work and build a practical way to answer harsh self-talk with grounded compassion. Instead of arguing with the critic or pretending it isn't there, we slow down, test its claims, and invite the voice of a true friend to sit at the table with us.We start by imagining our most judgmental thoughts broadcast aloud, then ask a simple question: how would a caring friend respond? That shift unlocks clarity. Suddenly, “I'm incompetent” becomes “I made a mistake and I'm learning.” “I'm unworthy” turns into “I matter even when I miss the mark.” Along the way, we separate facts from exaggerations, replace sweeping labels with specific observations, and learn language that pairs honesty with warmth. This is not empty positivity; it is accurate compassion that acknowledges error without attacking identity.Then we flip the lens. Picture a friend speaking about themselves with the same cruelty. What would you say to them? Most of us instinctively challenge the lies, point to real strengths, and offer steps forward. We bring that same approach inward: write the critic's claim in one line, answer it like a friend in one paragraph, and list three pieces of evidence that support your competence, worth, or likability. The effect is cumulative—less shame, more energy for growth, and a steadier mind when challenges arise.By the end, you'll have a repeatable exercise to calm negative self-talk, build resilience, and strengthen self-trust. If this practice helps you breathe a little easier and stand a little taller, share it with someone who needs a kinder inner voice today.

LESSON 46God Is The Love In Which I Forgive.God does not forgive because He has never condemned. And there must be condemnation before forgiveness is necessary. Forgiveness is the great need of this world, but that is because it is a world of illusions. Those who forgive are thus releasing themselves from illusions, while those who withhold forgiveness are binding themselves to them. As you condemn only yourself, so do you forgive only yourself.Yet although God does not forgive, His Love is nevertheless the basis of forgiveness. Fear condemns and love forgives. Forgiveness thus undoes what fear has produced, returning the mind to the awareness of God. For this reason, forgiveness can truly be called salvation. It is the means by which illusions disappear.Today's exercises require at least three full five-minute practice periods, and as many shorter ones as possible. Begin the longer practice periods by repeating today's idea to yourself, as usual. Close your eyes as you do so, and spend a minute or two in searching your mind for those whom you have not forgiven. It does not matter “how much” you have not forgiven them. You have forgiven them entirely or not at all.If you are doing the exercises well you should have no difficulty in finding a number of people you have not forgiven. It is a safe rule that anyone you do not like is a suitable subject. Mention each one by name, and say:God is the Love in which I forgive you, [name].The purpose of the first phase of today's practice periods is to put you in a position to forgive yourself. After you have applied the idea to all those who have come to mind, tell yourself:God is the Love in which I forgive myself.Then devote the remainder of the practice period to adding related ideas such as:God is the Love with which I love myself.God is the Love in which I am blessed.The form of the application may vary considerably, but the central idea should not be lost sight of. You might say, for example:I cannot be guilty because I am a Son of God.I have already been forgiven.No fear is possible in a mind beloved of God.There is no need to attack because love has forgiven me.The practice period should end, however, with a repetition of today's idea as originally stated.The shorter practice periods may consist either of a repetition of the idea for today in the original or in a related form, as you prefer. Be sure, however, to make more specific applications if they are needed. They will be needed at any time during the day when you become aware of any kind of negative reaction to anyone, present or not. In that event, tell him silently:God is the Love in which I forgive you.- Jesus Christ in ACIM

This is Dr. MaryAnn Diorio, Novelist and Life Coach, welcoming you to another episode of Winning with the Word. Today is Monday, February 16, 2026, and this is episode #3 in Series 2026. This episode is titled, “The Demon Invasion.” Talk about demons elicits various types of responses, from “You’re crazy” to “You’re right.” In this week’s message, we’re going to explore briefly the topic of the current demon invasion and how the Christ-Follower should deal with it. We are going to focus only on what the Bible says because the Bible is Truth. But first, I want to tell you that my featured book for this week, THE ITALIAN CHRONICLES Trilogy, is on sale for only $21.00. This offer includes all three novels of the trilogy—The Madonna of Pisano, A Sicilian Farewell, and Return to Bella Terra. That’s a 42% discount off the regular price. This sale will last only until the end of February. So, get your copy now and follow the page-turning saga of Maria Landro as she faces losing her fortune, her family, and her faith. Click on the link below or in the show notes to get your copy. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07HFJC4RM And now, on to this week’s message. For centuries in the Western world, the topic of demons was considered not only taboo but ridiculous and off limits. After all, we were far enough advanced on the civilization scale that we no longer needed the foolishness of believing in demons. Science had taken over the western mind, and science was king. Moreover, science, being observable and concrete, saw no indication of demons in the natural, material realm. And, if we couldn’t prove something scientifically, then it did not exist. If we could not see it, it wasn’t there. Anyone who still believed in demons, therefore, was considered backward, uneducated, and downright silly. But things have changed here in the West. Over the past half century, with the rising interest in Eastern mysticism and a renewed interest in paganism, the spiritual realm has become a topic of major focus and exploration. Why? Because science has failed to address the inner part of us that is intangible. In other words, the human heart. When God created you, He breathed into you a soul and you became a living being. Scripture says this in Genesis 2: 7: “The LORD God formed the man from the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living being.” In other words, God breathed into you His own breath, and this is what distinguishes you from every other creature. Your soul is what gives you life, what enables you to breathe and walk around and act. Your soul is what enables you to think and choose, to love and experience emotions. Your soul embodies your personality and is what makes you uniquely YOU. God also gave you a spirit. Your spirit is the core of who you truly are. It is the real you, your essence, and the only part of you that can connect to God because God is Spirit (John 4: 24). Now, what does all of this have to do with demons? Plenty. WHAT ARE DEMONS? Demons also are spirits, but they are the disembodied spirits of the Nephilim. The Nephilim were the offspring in human form of the union between fallen angels and human women. The purpose of this unholy union was to corrupt human DNA in order to prevent the Messiah from being born. These hybrid creatures called Nephilim were eventually destroyed in the great Flood of Noah. But their spirits still exist and are called demons. Moreover, there is much evidence today that the Nephilim have reappeared because fallen angels have re-entered the earthly sphere. You may be thinking, “Dr. MaryAnn, you’ve really lost it this time! Fallen angels impregnating women? Come on! You expect me to believe that?” If this is what you’re thinking, then I refer you to Genesis 6: 4: “Back then, and later, there were giants on the earth, who were born as a result of the unholy union of heavenly beings with the human daughters.” These “heavenly beings” were the fallen angels who had rebelled, together with Satan, against God and were evicted from Heaven. Now stay with me because it gets even more interesting. THE CONNECTION BETWEEN DEMONS AND MENTAL ILLNESS The LORD God became so angry at sin and at this unholy union between fallen angels and earthly women that He destroyed the earth in Noah’s flood. In that flood, every single person on earth died except Noah and his family. Only Noah and his family still had pure DNA from which the future Messiah could be born. After the Nephilim died, along with the rest of sinful humanity, their spirits continued to exist, and these spirits are what we now call demons. Since demons are disembodied spirits—in other words spirits without a body—they are continually looking for a body to inhabit, whether a human body or an animal body. When a person, through sin, allows a demon access to his life, that demon will encroach upon that person to the degree that the person allows it, even to the point of total possession of the person. Today, because of blatant, brazen sin, we are witnessing an increasing invasion of demonic spirits into people’s lives. The results of this invasion are catastrophic, first to the person who has allowed the demons entrance, and second to society in general. One such very serious result of demon invasion is the increase in mental illness. While there are cases of mental illness rooted in physical causes such as brain chemistry issues or brain trauma, a good deal of mental illness is rooted in demonic oppression. Sadly, this fact is rarely, if ever, considered by mental health professionals. Patients are given all kinds of medication that may alleviate the symptoms but never cure the root cause of the problem because the root cause is spiritual, not physical. The incidence of mental illness in our culture has increased exponentially and continues to increase. Suicide is on the rise, especially among young teens. Nervous breakdowns, panic attacks, anxiety, and depression have become commonplace. Incidents of random shootings are growing at alarming rates. Has anyone asked why? I posit that much of mental illness today is the result of demonic invasion of the human soul. Statistics gathered in 2022 from the National Institute of Mental Health show that approximately 23.1% of the United States population suffers from mental health issues. This calculates to almost 60 million people in the United States with a mental illness of any type. Why such a high number? THE NEFARIOUS EFFECTS OF SIN A chief reason is that the incidence of sin has increased. Sin, my friend, opens the door to Satan. I’m going to say that again. Sin opens the door to Satan. Our culture today openly condones sin and even celebrates it. Evil is promoted as good and good as evil. In choosing evil, people have actually invited disembodied, demonic spirits to use their bodies as dwelling places. And when a demon attaches to your body or, worse yet, lives inside your body through demonic possession, it wreaks havoc to your entire life, especially your mental life. If you yourself have been suffering from mental illness and are having great difficulty getting better despite counseling and medication, consider the possibility that demons may be involved and that you need to deal with your problem spiritually and not just physically or mentally. If you don’t know where to turn, seek the counsel of a pastor who is experienced in dealing with demons. If you still need help, email me at drmaryann@maryanndiorio.com and I will direct you to a deliverance ministry that can help you. You see, my friend, the goal of Satan and his demons is to steal, kill, and destroy you. Always. His goal never changes, nor do his tactics. Most of the world is oblivious to what is really happening out there. Hordes of demons have invaded our earth through what are called portals, or openings, between the natural realm of earth and the spirit realm above the earth where fallen angels reside. The Bible calls this area “the Second Heaven.” It is the headquarters from which Satan plans and strategizes his attacks on humanity. Above the Second Heaven is the Third Heaven where God dwells with the good angels and the saints of God, those who have accepted Jesus Christ as their Savior and Lord and lived for him while on the earth. Directly above the earth is the First Heaven, the heaven we know as current residents of this earth. This First Heaven is now witnessing the invasion of demonic spirits from the Second Heaven. They are coming in the form of Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena or UAPs, formerly called UFOs. The media is telling us that these sightings are aliens from other planets. In a way, the media is right. But what they are not telling you because they do not know is that these sightings are not aliens from other planets but fallen angels from the Second Heaven invading the earth to prepare the world for the rise of the AntiChrist, the personification of Satan himself. I have much more to say on the topic, but I will end here for this week. Please subscribe to this podcast for upcoming messages on the truth about what is happening in our world today. It is all prophesied and explained in the Holy Bible. We are living in a time of great deception. (Listen to my podcast for February 9th titled The Great Deception for more information.) The world needs truth. Truth is a person, and His name is Jesus Christ. If you have not yet met Jesus Christ, I invite you to meet Him now. Pray this simple prayer with me: Lord Jesus, I want to know You because I want to know Truth. I've been living a lie, and it has gotten me to places where I don't want to be. So I choose now to turn away from the lie and to embrace You Who are Truth. I invite You into my life and receive You as my Savior and Lord. Thank You for saving me. Thank You for revealing to me that You are Truth. In Your Name I pray. Amen. If you sincerely prayed this prayer from your heart, you are now a born-again child of God. Welcome to the Family of God! Write to me at drmaryann@maryanndiorio.com, and I will send you a free PDF e-booklet titled After You're Born Again. In closing, I want to remind you that my featured book for this week is my popular trilogy titled THE ITALIAN CHRONICLES. See what happens to a soul who allows Satan to invade him. All three novels are on sale in a single ebook volume for only $21.00. That’s a 42% discount off the regular price. This sale will last only until the end of February.

How do the speakers suggest we navigate conversations about race, policing, and justice more productively? Redemption and Forgiveness: What does real redemption look like for youth who have made serious mistakes? Should the justice system emphasize second chances, and where is the line drawn? The Power of Conversation: The speakers repeatedly argue that real dialogue—like the one on this podcast—is key to understanding.

In this episode, Dr. K explores the "insidious" reality of the self-help industry: why we are watching more "productive" content than ever, yet seeing fewer real-world results. He breaks down the psychology of how our brains trick us into thinking we're improving when we're actually just being entertained. What to expect in this episode: • The "Sneaky" Thought Behind Procrastination: A deep dive into why we choose self-help videos over comedy sketches as a way to avoid the guilt of wasting time. • A Look Behind the YouTube Curtain: Dr. K explains why creators are forced to make content that is "palatable" for the algorithm rather than what is scientifically proven to be helpful. • The Danger of the Second Screen: An analysis of why treating self-help as "free" or "bonus" content makes your brain unwilling to pay the actual mental cost of real-life change. • Why Motivation Always Fails: An explanation of "Motivational Interviewing" and the specific point where the rising cost of effort inevitably outweighs far-away rewards. • Flipping the Learning Script: A framework for moving away from passive consumption and toward a "targeted" strategy where the work comes first and the videos come second.HG Coaching : https://bit.ly/46bIkdo Dr. K's Guide to Mental Health: https://bit.ly/44z3SztHG Memberships : https://bit.ly/3TNoMVf Products & Services : https://bit.ly/44kz7x0 HealthyGamer.GG: https://bit.ly/3ZOopgQ Learn more about your ad choices.

Our Love Story, Q&A for CouplesIn this episode of Our Love Story, Katie sits down with licensed couples counselor Dyanna Eisel to talk about the mental health buzzwords we hear every day and why misusing them can actually harm our relationships.From “gaslighting” and “triggered” to “narcissist,” “OCD,” “bipolar,” and “trauma bond,” we break down what these terms really mean and why throwing them around casually can stigmatize real mental health conditions and derail healthy communication.This conversation is about slowing down, choosing our words carefully, and focusing on behaviors instead of labels especially in the relationships that matter most. If you've ever wondered whether social media therapy-speak is helping or hurting your connection, this one's for you.
What if the question “Do people really like me?” is less about others and more about how we meet ourselves? On day four of our inner critic series, we turn toward acceptance and likability with a grounded, practical approach that blends mindfulness, body awareness, and compassionate realism. Rather than debating the critic on its terms, we slow down, listen to the stories that surface in social spaces, and feel their imprint in the body—tight jaws, tense shoulders, or a breath that never quite lands.We walk through a brief guided practice designed to help you contact safety and support in the present moment. Feet on the floor, attention in the body, we gently test phrases like “I am likable,” “I accept myself,” and “There are people who genuinely like me,” noticing what resonates and where the critic objects. You'll learn to label the critic's voice without fusing with it, shift focus from arguments to sensations, and use those signals as data for kinder action. Along the way, we explore common triggers—work dynamics, friendship circles, and family roles—and sketch simple ways to prepare your nervous system before you step into those rooms.By the end, acceptance becomes a trainable skill rather than a verdict from the crowd. We highlight how to gather balanced evidence of real connection, set intentions that align with your values, and carry this awareness throughout your day and week. If you're ready to loosen the grip of self-doubt and show up with more ease and congruence, this session offers a calm, clear path forward. If this resonates, subscribe, share with a friend who could use it, and leave a review with one insight you're taking into your next conversation.Support the showCertify To Teach Mindfulness: Certify.MindfulnessExercises.com Email: Sean@MindfulnessExercises.com Mindfulness Exercises with Sean Fargo is a practical, grounded mindfulness podcast for people who want meditation to actually help in real life.

LESSON 45God Is The Mind With Which I Think.Today's idea holds the key to what your real thoughts are. They are nothing that you think you think, just as nothing that you think you see is related to vision in any way. There is no relationship between what is real and what you think is real. Nothing that you think are your real thoughts resemble your real thoughts in any respect. Nothing that you think you see bears any resemblance to what vision will show you.You think with the Mind of God. Therefore you share your thoughts with Him, as He shares His with you. They are the same thoughts, because they are thought by the same Mind. To share is to make alike, or to make one. Nor do the thoughts you think with the Mind of God leave your mind, because thoughts do not leave their source. Therefore, your thoughts are in the Mind of God, as you are. They are in your mind as well, where He is. As you are part of His Mind, so are your thoughts part of His Mind.Where, then, are your real thoughts? Today we will attempt to reach them. We will have to look for them in your mind, because that is where they are. They must still be there, because they cannot have left their source. What is thought by the Mind of God is eternal, being part of creation.Our three five-minute practice periods for today will take the same general form that we used in applying yesterday's idea. We will attempt to leave the unreal and seek for the real. We will deny the world in favor of truth. We will not let the thoughts of the world hold us back. We will not let the beliefs of the world tell us that what God would have us do is impossible. Instead, we will try to recognize that only what God would have us do is possible.We will also try to understand that only what God would have us do is what we want to do. And we will also try to remember that we cannot fail in doing what He would have us do. There is every reason to feel confident that we will succeed today. It is the Will of God.Begin the exercises for today by repeating the idea to yourself, closing your eyes as you do so. Then spend a fairly short period in thinking a few relevant thoughts of your own, keeping the idea in mind. After you have added some four or five thoughts of your own to the idea, repeat it again and tell yourself gently:My real thoughts are in my mind. I would like to find them.Then try to go past all the unreal thoughts that cover the truth in your mind, and reach to the eternal.Under all the senseless thoughts and mad ideas with which you have cluttered up your mind are the thoughts that you thought with God in the beginning. They are there in your mind now, completely unchanged. They will always be in your mind, exactly as they always were. Everything you have thought since then will change, but the foundation on which it rests is wholly changeless.It is this foundation toward which the exercises for today are directed. Here is your mind joined with the Mind of God. Here are your thoughts one with His. For this kind of practice only one thing is necessary; approach it as you would an altar dedicated in Heaven to God the Father and to God the Son. For such is the place you are trying to reach. You will probably be unable as yet to realize how high you are trying to go. Yet even with the little understanding you have already gained, you should be able to remind yourself that this is no idle game, but an exercise in holiness and an attempt to reach the Kingdom of Heaven.In the shorter exercise periods for today, try to remember how important it is to you to understand the holiness of the mind that thinks with God. Take a minute or two, as you repeat the idea throughout the day, to appreciate your mind's holiness. Stand aside, however briefly, from all thoughts that are unworthy of Him Whose host you are. And thank Him for the thoughts He is thinking with you.- Jesus Christ in ACIM

Antibiotic use has been linked to higher anxiety and depression risk by disrupting gut bacteria that regulate brain chemistry and stress response Human studies show antibiotics lower key calming neurotransmitters and activate inflammatory brain cells tied to anxious behavior Repeated or early-life antibiotic exposure increases long-term vulnerability to anxiety, depression, and cognitive strain Antibiotics disrupt gut-brain signaling in ways that trigger anxiety, sleep problems, and emotional instability even in people with no prior mental health history Reducing unnecessary antibiotic use and restoring gut stability helps calm anxiety by addressing the biological cause rather than masking symptoms

Then, her step-mother Christina died after a long battle with breast cancer.Twenty years after Layne reconnected with her birth mother, Maggie, she flew to America to be by Maggie's side as she took her last breaths.Losing three mothers in one lifetime caused Layne to equate motherhood with loss and abandonment. But after retiring and learning to slow down, Layne turned inward and finally found herself along the way.Content warning: this episode of Conversations contains discussion of adoption and grief.Layne's memoir Beneath the Waves was written with Michael Gordon and published in 2009 by Penguin.Her latest book, Awake Academy, was written with Tess Brouwer and is published by Penguin.This episode of Conversations was produced by Meggie Morris.

Big Tech is finally facing a major legal reckoning—and the outcome could reshape the internet as we know it. On this episode of The Tudor Dixon Podcast, Tudor is joined by Media Research Center VP Dan Schneider to break down the landmark lawsuits targeting social media giants over alleged harm to teens and children. They dive into the legal battle unfolding in California and New Mexico, the limits of Section 230, and whether tech platforms can still claim immunity while controlling content. Is social media truly “addictive by design”? Where does personal responsibility end and corporate accountability begin? And could new evidence expose Big Tech companies for knowingly allowing harmful or even illegal content? Plus, Tudor and Dan explore media bias in platforms like Apple News and Wikipedia, raising serious questions about information control, censorship, and the future of free speech in America.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

What if the voice that says “You're not a good person” isn't telling the truth, just repeating an old script? Today we take aim at the inner critic's favorite storyline—unworthiness—and replace it with clear seeing, honest accountability, and a steadier sense of worth.We start by naming where this story shows up most: pressure at work, tensions at home, friction in relationships, or those late-night existential doubts. Then we slow down with a brief guided practice—grounded posture, steady breath, and focused attention—that helps us notice what the critic says and what is actually happening. Instead of collapsing into shame, we examine intentions with care. Most of us don't act from one pure motive; we move from a mix of fear, hope, habit, and love. Recognizing that complexity lets us learn from missteps without branding ourselves as bad.From there, we reframe worth as something deeper than flawless performance. When worth is inherent, mistakes become information, not identity. That shift makes room for proportionate action: repair a conversation, clarify a boundary, or rest so you can show up with more care. We offer a simple mantra to keep handy when the critic spikes: “My intentions are sometimes complex, and I am worthy of love.” Use it to pause, breathe, and choose one small step that aligns with the kind of person you want to be.If you've been measuring your goodness by impossible standards, this session offers a kinder, more effective approach. You'll leave with practical mindfulness tools, language for mixed intentions, and a compassionate reminder that growth and dignity can live side by side. If this resonated, follow the show, share it with someone who needs a softer inner voice, and leave a review so others can find these practices too.Support the showCertify To Teach Mindfulness: Certify.MindfulnessExercises.com Email: Sean@MindfulnessExercises.com Mindfulness Exercises with Sean Fargo is a practical, grounded mindfulness podcast for people who want meditation to actually help in real life.

LESSON 44God Is The Light In Which I See.Today we are continuing the idea for yesterday, adding another dimension to it. You cannot see in darkness, and you cannot make light. You can make darkness and then think you see in it, but light reflects life, and is therefore an aspect of creation. Creation and darkness cannot coexist, but light and life must go together, being but different aspects of creation.In order to see, you must recognize that light is within, not without. You do not see outside yourself, nor is the equipment for seeing outside you. An essential part of this equipment is the light that makes seeing possible. It is with you always, making vision possible in every circumstance.Today we are going to attempt to reach that light. For this purpose, we will use a form of exercise which has been suggested before, and which we will utilize increasingly. It is a particularly difficult form for the undisciplined mind, and represents a major goal of mind training. It requires precisely what the untrained mind lacks. Yet this training must be accomplished if you are to see.Have at least three practice periods today, each lasting three to five minutes. A longer time is highly recommended, but only if you find the time slipping by with little or no sense of strain. The form of practice we will use today is the most natural and easy one in the world for the trained mind, just as it seems to be the most unnatural and difficult for the untrained mind.Your mind is no longer wholly untrained. You are quite ready to learn the form of exercise we will use today, but you may find that you will encounter strong resistance. The reason is very simple. While you practice in this way, you leave behind everything that you now believe, and all the thoughts that you have made up. Properly speaking, this is the release from hell. Yet perceived through the ego's eyes, it is loss of identity and a descent into hell.If you can stand aside from the ego by ever so little, you will have no difficulty in recognizing that its opposition and its fears are meaningless. You might find it helpful to remind yourself, from time to time, that to reach light is to escape from darkness, whatever you may believe to the contrary. God is the light in which you see. You are attempting to reach Him.Begin the practice period by repeating today's idea with your eyes open, and close them slowly, repeating the idea several times more. Then try to sink into your mind, letting go every kind of interference and intrusion by quietly sinking past them. Your mind cannot be stopped in this unless you choose to stop it. It is merely taking its natural course. Try to observe your passing thoughts without involvement, and slip quietly by them.While no particular approach is advocated for this form of exercise, what is needful is a sense of the importance of what you are doing; its inestimable value to you, and an awareness that you are attempting something very holy. Salvation is your happiest accomplishment. It is also the only one that has any meaning, because it is the only one that has any real use to you at all.If resistance rises in any form, pause long enough to repeat today's idea, keeping your eyes closed unless you are aware of fear. In that case, you will probably find it more reassuring to open your eyes briefly. Try, however, to return to the exercises with eyes closed as soon as possible.If you are doing the exercises correctly, you should experience some sense of relaxation, and even a feeling that you are approaching, if not actually entering into light. Try to think of light, formless and without limit, as you pass by the thoughts of this world. And do not forget that they cannot hold you to the world unless you give them the power to do so.Throughout the day repeat the idea often, with eyes open or closed as seems better to you at the time. But do not forget. Above all, be determined not to forget today.- Jesus Christ in ACIM
In this IMMH 2023 conference presentation on "Sex Hormones and their Impact on Mental Health", Dr. Gersh explains why ovarian hormones influence so much more than reproduction – and why they are a missing ingredient in many conversations about brain health, mood disorders and cognitive decline. She highlights the disproportionate burden of depression and anxiety in women and notes that nearly a quarter of women in their 40s and 50s (peri/early menopause) are being prescribed antidepressants, arguing that hormone health must be considered as part of the bigger clinical picture. Dr. Gersh is a dual board-certified OB-GYN and integrative physician, founder and director of the Integrative Medical Group of Irvine, and a leading voice in women's hormonal and metabolic health. In this session she combines clinical and scientific data and decades of experience to demonstrate that estradiol (E2) plays a central, protective role in the brain, supporting energy production, regulating inflammation and maintaining neurological resilience. In this very informative and practical talk, Dr. Gersh outlines how hormonal decline and disruption can increase vulnerability to mood disorders, migraines, cognitive symptoms and neurodegeneration – and how optimizing hormones through lifestyle, nutrition and psychological therapies can help protect long-term brain health. The overall message is both preventative and hopeful: many hormone-related mental health risks are modifiable and treatable. In this episode, you will learn: Why sex hormones function as whole-body "life/health hormones," supporting brain, metabolic and immune health – not just reproduction. How hormones are a missing piece in many discussions of depression, anxiety and cognitive decline in women. That almost 25% of peri- and early-menopausal women are prescribed antidepressants, highlighting the scale of midlife mood symptoms. The association between teen oral contraceptive use and higher lifetime cardiovascular events, including heart attacks and strokes. How estradiol (E2) is strongly neuroprotective, supporting brain energy metabolism and cellular resilience. Why women have approximately 2.5× the incidence of Alzheimer's disease, and how hormone loss may contribute to that risk. How estradiol helps regulate microglia, astrocytes and neuroinflammation, keeping the brain's immune response balanced. The role of estradiol in maintaining the blood–brain barrier, and how deficiency may increase inflammatory vulnerability. Emerging evidence that low-dose estradiol therapy may support mood stability, including in postpartum depression and certain bipolar presentations. Why progesterone is also neuroprotective and anti-inflammatory, with important roles in mood, mitochondrial function and overall brain health.
Screens are ubiquitous in today's world, and concerns about how they affect kids are mounting.

There are conversations that stretch you a little. And then there are conversations that gently but firmly rearrange the furniture in your mind. This week, I sat down with Keith Kurlander and Will Van Derveer—co-founders of the Integrative Psychiatry Institute—to talk about something that's generating a lot of curiosity and, let's be honest, some anxiety: psychedelic-assisted therapy. Before you brace yourself, this isn't a hype session. It's a thoughtful, grounded conversation about trauma, the nervous system, and what happens when traditional therapy isn't enough to reach the deepest layers of pain we carry. We explored how trauma shapes our personalities, how it imprints on the body, and why insight alone often doesn't create lasting change. As someone who cares deeply about the Enneagram and recovery, I found this especially compelling. So much of our personality structure is built around adaptation—strategies that once kept us safe but now quietly run the show. Keith and Will explain how psychedelic-assisted therapy, when done legally and in carefully structured clinical settings, may help people access and heal places that feel otherwise unreachable. We also talk about the risks, the ethics, and the importance of discernment. This isn't about chasing peak experiences. It's about healing what's unfinished. If you've ever felt stuck in patterns that insight alone couldn't untangle… if you've wondered whether deeper healing is possible… this conversation might open a door.
