Dr. Varpas de Sa Pereira on Warrior Withdrawal: why leaving the military feels like going cold turkey (An MTM AI Short)

Dr. Varpas de Sa Pereira, US Marine veteran, former USASOC Special Operator, and clinical psychologist at the VA, joins Jon Macaskill to break down warrior withdrawal syndrome and why traditional diagnoses like PTSD and adjustment disorder miss the mark for so many veterans. Dr. Varpas uses a substance abuse model to explain why military service functions like a drug and why separation produces real withdrawal symptoms, even in veterans who never deployed to combat. He covers why basic training alone is enough to create the warrior identity, how infinite choice after the military breeds anxiety the same way zero agency breeds depression, and the PLEASE acronym (physical health, limit screen time, eat right, avoid mood-altering substances, sleep, exercise) as both a skill set and a scoreboard. Jon and Dr. Varpas also dig into sleep as the foundational fix, the grenade analogy for interpersonal conflict and why mindfulness extends the fuse, marksmanship as active mindfulness, and why that critical first six months after separation is when most major negative life events happen.Full episode: pod.fo/e/2ebcc0 Full video hereFree A2A Awareness assessment, free Focus app, and limited free access to the full A2A course: text MTM to 33777 GET MORE FROM MTM:Text MTM to 33777 — free weekly newsletterSubscribe & Episodes: https://mentalkingmindfulness.com/FREE APP: https://focusnowtrainingapp.com/FREE Assessment: https://focusnowtraining.com/assessment-pageA2A COURSE:12 modules on attention, presence & performance.

Avsnitt 325. Storytel slog på stort i förra veckan och lanserade en massa nya funktioner för förlag och lyssnare. Kanske inga överraskningar med tanke på att alla konkurrenter är där och slår sina lovar. Men ändå snygga lösningar på kända problem. Till exempel hur förstår du bättre lyssnarnas motiv? Hur hittar du tillbaka till där du slutade i sovläge? Men framför allt fick vi en insikt i deras nya AI-baserade chatbot Genie som ska hjälpa dig hitta nya titlar på ett bättre sätt än tidigare. En absolut nödvändighet i en tjänst som lanserar två miljoner titlar och är ständigt ökande. Något av ett strategibyte för hur du hittar nya böcker. Med Storytel Pulse erbjuder Storytel författare tillgång till en massa statistik som inte förlagen får tillgång till. Förläggaren tycker det är bra, andra förlag ser det som ett brott mot ingångna avtal. Så här inför sommaren gör vi en genomgång av vårens avsnitt och ser vad vi behöver summera upp. Vad hände sen? IMHO är ett sådant uppslag som vi dragit i. Hur ser det ut där nu? Finns IMHO (gamla HOI förlag) kvar. Ja, men de hänger över ett stup i fingernaglarna. De har fått godkänt att försöka rekonstruera förlagsgruppen men med vissa villkor. Ett av dom är att Lars Rambe plockas bort från den dagliga ledningen. I övrigt är det samma sak om igen. Ett annat ämne där vi tittar tillbaka är frågan om den statliga myndigheten MTM har skärpt sina rutiner när det gäller elevers tillgång till anpassad kurslitteratur, en fråga som föreningen Läromedelsföretagen såg som ett hot mot deras verksamhet. Utbildningsdepartementet tog ställning för läromedelsföretagen mot myndigheten och krävde stora förändringar som vi redovisar i det här inslaget. Och så en kortis om den långdragna historien om försäljningen av det norska familjeägda förlagsgruppen Aschehoug. Alla budgivare har lämnat sina slutbud så nu väntar vi på upplösningen. Vi avslutar med ett samtal med förläggaren som har gjort återupplivandet av gamla författarskap till en bärande idé i sitt arbete.

Dr. Lisa Larkin, doctor of internal medicine and 35-year women's health specialist, joins Jon and Will to explain what men need to know about menopause and perimenopause. She covers why women age completely differently than men (fits and starts vs. gradual decline), the biological reasons behind declining libido, sleep disruption, mood changes, and body changes in women's 40s and 50s, and why communication is the single most important thing couples can do during this transition. She also breaks down breast cancer risk assessment (25% of women are high risk and don't know it), the history of hormone therapy from the 2002 Women's Health Initiative scare to where the science stands now, why she opposes high-dose testosterone pellets for women, and why lifestyle beats supplements every time.

Böyle olmaz. Sosyalizmin adı ve itibarı böylesine harcanamaz. Her biri tarihî bir öncüle yaslandığını iddia eden, bir bölümü geçmişin partilerinin ve sosyalizmin önderlerinin adını bayrağı yapan birtakım sosyalist partiler, en azından Kılıçdaroğlu'nun 2017'de düzenlediği “Adalet Yürüyüşü” adı verilen gösteriden bu yana seçimlerde, en azından cumhurbaşkanı seçimlerinde CHP'yi halka umut olarak göstererek toplumun önünde sosyalizmin adını yerle yeksan ediyorlar! Devrimci İşçi Partisi, Erdoğan ile Kılıçdaroğlu'nun yarıştığı 2023 cumhurbaşkanı seçimi öncesi ve sonrasında Altılı Masa'nın ve onun seçimdeki uzantısı olan Millet İttifakı'nın nasıl hem gerici hem de son derece kırılgan olduğunu ısrarla ortaya koydu. Kılıçdaroğlu'nun seçimi kazansa bile istibdad rejimine son vermeyeceğini, CHP'nin temsil ettiği TÜSİAD burjuvazisinin kurulan düzenin (büyük aşırılıklar olmadıkça) devamından yana olduğunu ifade etti. Ayrıca, Altılı Masa'nın seçim öncesinde ya da sonrasında dağılabileceğine de işaret etti.Biz de köşe yazılarımızda bunları dile getirdik. Ayrıca, Akşener'in Mart ayında masadan kalkıp gitmesinin ardından hem diğer partilerin başkanlarının, hem de İmamoğlu ve Yavaş'ın Cumhurbaşkanı Yardımcısı sıfatıyla Kılıçdaroğlu'nun başına gardiyan olarak dikildiğinin de altını çizdik. Bu konuyu işlediğimiz yazının başlığını da tiyatro tarihimizin en popüler oyunlarından biri olan “Yedi Kocalı Hürmüz”den ödünç aldık. Yedilinin her birine Kılıçdaroğlu'nun gardiyanı olarak yaklaştık.Kılıçdaroğlu şimdi sekizinci bir gardiyanın himayesi altında CHP'nin başına döndü. Bu seferki gardiyan öyle Babacan ya da Davutoğlu gibi arkasında herhangi bir güç olmayan türden değil. İstibdad rejiminin baş aktörü Tayyip Erdoğan. Tam anlamıyla sefil bir manzara! Çok sayıda sosyalist partinin Türkiye'yi istibdaddan ve onun baş aktöründen kurtarma gerekçesiyle halkı oy vermeye çağırdığı şahıs, Erdoğan'ın CHP içindeki kayyımı konumunda!Ama bundan en ufak bir ders çıkaran yok. Nerede başını elleri arasına alıp “Yahu biz ne yaptık? Bu adamı halka nasıl çözüm olarak sunduk?” demek? Nerede “yanılmışız” diye açıklama yapmak, halktan özür dilemek. Sosyalizmin geleneği, bırakın böyle devasa hataları, bireysel düzeyde bile yapılan politik, örgütsel ve kişisel hataların özeleştirisini davanın ilerletilmesi için önkoşul sayar. Oysa özeleştiri vermek bir yana yine aynen Adalet Yürüyüşü'nde yaptıkları gibi, yalnız bu sefer Kılıçdaroğlu'nun yanında değil karşısında aynı tutumu tekrarlıyor sosyalist partiler.Oysa perşembenin gelişi çarşambadan belliydi. Biz, seçimlerin hemen ertesinde Kılıçdaroğlu/İmamoğlu çekişmesinin büyük sorunlara yol açacağını yazdık. Birkaç ay sonrasında da “CHP'nin Geleceği (Var mı?)” başlığını taşıyan bir yazı yazdık. Kim bilir, o zaman Kılıçdaroğlu'na oy vermiş partilerin bazı kadroları dudak büküp yazıyı okumaktan sarfınazar etmişlerdir. Kısaca alıntılayalım:“Öyle görünüyor ki partinin önünde üç ihtimal var. İlki CHP'nin daha küçük partilere ayrışarak orta vadede sahneden silinmesidir. Cumhuriyet kuruculuğuyla övünen bu partinin cumhuriyetin 100. yıldönümünde ufalanmaya başlaması tarihin ilginç bir cilvesi olur.” Bu senaryoya şimdi “katiyen olmaz” diyebilecek yiğit var mı? İki kanadın dışında başka parçalanmalar da mayalanmaya başladı (Mansur Yavaş sadece ilk örnektir). Kılıçdaroğlu'nun nerelere kadar alçalabileceğini de üçüncü ihtimal olarak saymıştık. Seçimin iki turu arasında Ümit Özdağ'la imzaladığı, o an gizli tutulan ama sonradan bu faşist politikacıya İçişleri Bakanlığı'nı ve MİT Müsteşarlığı'nı vadeden anlaşmaya yaslanarak partiyi onunla birlikte yönetebileceğini yazmıştık. Şimdi “CHP ülkücüleri” diye andığı çeteler CHP Genel Merkezi'ni polisten önce tehdit edenler oldu.

What happens when you stop doing things virtually and actually show up for each other?Jon, Will, and returning MTM guest David Valadez reflect on a weekend in Colorado Springs that started with an excruciating Spartan 10K — 7 miles of mud, hills, barbed wire, and shared struggle — and ended with something harder to measure. Every wall and climb was a reminder that we are stronger together than we will ever be alone. Outside the race, the moments kept coming: Jon's Family embracing the gang for dinner, and a visit to Dan Carcillo's plant medicine retreat center in Golden.This is a short episode about the one thing that accelerates everything else — real, in-person community between men.

Live from Montenegro this week because the news would not wait — both of the Strip's biggest operators are heading toward going private. Barry Diller's People Inc. (the former IAC) has put a non-binding, all-cash offer on the table to buy the 73.9% of MGM Resorts it doesn't already own at $48.30/share — an ~$18 billion deal — and take the company private. Pair that with the Caesars / Fertitta Entertainment take-private we covered last week, and Las Vegas may be entering a brand-new era owned by the billionaire class instead of Wall Street.

Travels With Randy Summer Of '26 Episode 1 is here! Up The West Coast On Hwy 1  West Coast Travel and Real Estate Bubba and Randy discussed Randy's recent travels along the West Coast after completing a 17-podcast series about Route 66. They compared weather patterns between different regions, with Randy noting the benefits of spring weather in Washington compared to tornado season in the Midwest. The conversation also covered real estate price increases in California, with Randy sharing how his childhood home in Placentia appreciated from $37,000 in 1967 to $1.3 million currently, and they discussed future housing needs as they approach retirement age. US Road Trip Discussion Bubba and Randy discussed Randy's recent road trip across the United States, including his journey from Route 66 to California and his decision to take the scenic coastal route along Highway 1. They talked about the significant difference in gas prices between California and other states, with Randy noting prices reached $7.50 per gallon in some areas of California. Randy shared interesting facts about Highway 101 being created on the same day as Route 66's centennial, making it one of only a few highways still celebrated from that original group of over 180 numbered highways. Recent Road Trip and Adventures Randy shared details about his recent road trip, including a golf game where he lost by one stroke due to a poor final hole performance. He described visiting Albuquerque and having dinner with his girlfriend Cindy in California for her 60th birthday. The conversation also covered Randy's car brake issues, which required a $1,300 repair after hearing squeaking noises, and his enjoyment of driving along Highway 1 and Highway 101, particularly appreciating the scenic ocean views during early morning drives. Road Trip from Oxnard to Lompoc Randy described a road trip from Oxnard to Lompoc, explaining the route options along highways 1 and 101, and shared details about visiting Channel Islands National Park and Hearst Castle. He noted challenges with morning fog during the trip and recommended allocating time for both Channel Islands and Hearst Castle visits. The conversation ended with a discussion about national parks, particularly questioning how some sites like Gateway Arch and New River Gorge became national parks. National Park Designation Discussion Randy and Bubba discussed the process of national park designations, with Randy expressing disappointment about Indiana Dunes and speculating that Channel Islands became a national park due to favors or political reasons. They discussed the challenges with Route 66, with Randy advocating for it to be managed as a national park or byway to ensure consistent signage and routing. The conversation shifted to Randy's current trip following Highway 1 in California, including his visit to Hearst Castle, and they briefly discussed the location's history and the challenges of accessing Big Sur due to road damage. TV Pilot Script Discussion Randy shared details about a TV pilot script he wrote during an internship at MTM, inspired by the Newhart show and set at Big Sur Inn, which he struggled to get produced despite trying to interest Lindsey Wagner's agent. He reflected on how persistence and timing rather than overnight success determine career outcomes, particularly noting how AI tools would have significantly changed his college film production experience. The conversation concluded with Bubba sharing a personal connection to the Little River Inn in Mendocino, which Randy had previously visited and planned to post photos of later that week. Highway 1 Driving Discussion Bubba and Randy discussed driving on Highway 1, comparing the experience of driving versus being a passenger due to the road's challenging hairpin turns and lack of guardrails. Randy shared a story about encountering aggressive motorcycle riders on the same road, leading to an accident with another motorist. They also discussed the scenic route from San Luis Obispo to San Francisco, including the view of the Golden Gate Bridge and the option to visit Alcatraz Island. Alcatraz and Infrastructure Discussions Bubba and Randy discussed their visits to Alcatraz in San Francisco, sharing memories of the self-guided tours and the historical context of the island. They also talked about the constant maintenance required for the Golden Gate Bridge and compared it to other infrastructure projects. The conversation shifted to challenges in modern construction, particularly the difficulties in building data centers and bullet trains, and they briefly discussed the potential for building data centers in space. Space Data Center Discussion Bubba and Randy discussed the benefits of placing data centers in space, particularly on the moon, due to reduced cooling requirements and other advantages. They reflected on the rapid pace of technological advancement, comparing it to historical innovations like the personal computer and internet, and highlighted how AI technologies like ChatGPT are being adopted quickly and are already integral to daily workflows, as demonstrated by Randy's use of AI in photo processing. They also noted that while technological change can be unsettling, especially regarding job impacts, the current pace of innovation is unprecedented and continues to evolve rapidly. AI Tools for Work Efficiency Randy and Bubba discussed their experiences using AI tools like Gemini and ChatGPT to improve efficiency in their work. Randy shared how he uses Gemini to proofread and fact-check his social media posts, while Bubba described how he leverages AI to manage his book business, including analyzing inventory and making purchasing decisions. They also discussed the challenges some people face when retiring early, noting that staying mentally and socially active is important for overall well-being. Travel Content Planning Discussion Randy and Bubba discussed their upcoming travel content plans, with Randy planning to visit San Francisco and Alcatraz next week before covering northern California up to the Oregon border. They agreed to continue their weekly podcast discussions throughout the summer, focusing on travel topics including the Oregon coast and Northern California's wine regions. Bubba mentioned their Facebook page has grown to 37,000 followers and suggested exploring Hearst Castle during future West Coast trips. SO. MANY.

On this episode of This Week in Pharmacy, we examine two major forces reshaping the profession: the unfinished business of pharmacist provider status and the legal landscape around direct-to-consumer pharmaceutical distribution. In part one, Erik Abel, PharmD, MBA, discusses his May 2026 analysis, “So Pharmacists Want to Be a Provider: Where the Profession Lost Its Way and Perhaps a Path to Get Back.” Abel argues that pharmacy's provider-status challenge is not a lack of clinical evidence, but a lack of operational infrastructure: credentialing, payer contracting, revenue cycle management, interoperability, and scalable business models. In part two, Darshan Kulkarni, PharmD, Esq., joins the show to discuss direct-to-consumer pharmaceutical distribution, legal risk, regulatory scrutiny, telehealth-linked prescribing, manufacturer strategy, and what pharmacists need to understand as drug distribution moves closer to the patient. This week in pharmacy news, Pittsburgh-area pharmacies continue to face uneven access to Adderall and other ADHD medications, years after the FDA first identified shortages in 2022. Patients are still calling multiple pharmacies, switching medications, rationing doses, or going without treatment as availability varies by dosage, formulation, manufacturer, and wholesaler. Pharmacists are also using medication therapy management to protect older adults from preventable medication-related harm. MTM reviews can identify risky prescriptions and OTC products, including diphenhydramine, duplicate therapies, drug interactions, and long-term proton pump inhibitor use that may need reassessment. In 340B news, CVS Health is facing federal lawsuits from major health systems alleging CVS Specialty and WellPartner improperly retained approximately $250 million in savings that should have gone back to covered entities. The litigation adds pressure to debates over PBM integration, contract pharmacy arrangements, and 340B transparency. On Capitol Hill, lawmakers are pressing the Department of Defense to commit to annual audits of the TRICARE pharmacy contract as concerns continue around PBM conflicts of interest, reimbursement practices, network adequacy, and access for independent and community pharmacies.

"I spent five years hurting a good woman by staying with her but never fully choosing her." That one sentence, written by Bryan Reeves, has been read by tens of millions of people. On this episode of Men Talking Mindfulness, hosts Jon Macaskill and Will Schneider sit down with Bryan... former U.S. Air Force captain, relationship coach, and author of the book Choose Her Every Day or Leave Her... to talk about what men actually get wrong in their relationships and what it takes to fix it.Bryan gets into the paradox at the center of every committed relationship... the need to care deeply about your partner while also holding onto yourself. He talks about why so many men bounce between total sacrifice and total detachment, why "what would serve we?" is the most powerful question a couple can ask, and why connection time is not productive time, even though every mission-oriented bone in your body says otherwise.Jon and Bryan go deep on the two fears that show up in men over and over again... "I'm not worthy of love" and "I'm going to mess this up." They get into how those fears drive the shame cycle in relationships and how mindfulness is the practice that interrupts it. Bryan shares a story about studying the Tao Te Ching while being completely unable to apply any of it in his own relationship. Twenty-five years later, he can. The difference is reps.They also talk about when leaving is the most loving choice, why men need men's work that isn't just beer and football, and why learning to play again matters more than most men realize.What you'll hear in this episode:Why "checking the box" on your relationship is slowly killing itThe paradox of caring and not caring at the same timeThe two core fears men bring to relationships and how they feed the shame cycleHow mindfulness gives you access to repair after a fightWhy the Gottman Institute says arguing past ten minutes is pointlessWhen leaving in love is the right choiceWhy men's work and play are connected to being a better partner and parentBryan's book: Choose Her Every Day or Leave Her Bryan's website: bryanreeves.com (Bryan with a Y) Bryan's programs: Elevate Your Relationship, Elevate 2026 (annual men's group)Jon and Will's new course is coming out soon... sign up here to stay in the loop https://focusnowtraining.com/a2a-course-interestSign up for our newsletter... text MTM to 33777.Jon's new book, DIAL in Your Leadership: 4 Non-negotiables for Leading with Clarity, Trust, and Purpose, is available now on Amazon. https://a.co/d/0hYwI2SzFollow Men Talking Mindfulness, Jon Macaskill, and Will Schneider for more.Hosted on Ausha.

Why do you care so much about what other people think? In this episode of Men Talking Mindfulness, hosts Jon Macaskill and Will Schneider sit down with Army veteran, mental performance coach, and Skull Sessions podcast host Andy Riise to dismantle the most quietly destructive pattern in men's lives — the approval trap. There's a name for what's running in the background of your decisions, and it isn't a character flaw. It's biology. It's called Fear of Negative Evaluation, and it's one of the most studied psychological patterns in clinical research.The guys break down why your brain literally cannot tell the difference between social rejection and physical pain, why the audience judging you is half the size you think, and how approval seeking shows up in ways most men never connect to the root cause — over-committing at work, constant reassurance seeking in relationships, buying your kids' affection, and still chasing approval from people who haven't been in your life for decades. Understanding it is the first step to breaking free.In this episode, you'll learn:What Fear of Negative Evaluation is and why every man is dealing with it whether he knows it or notThe spotlight effect and the Cornell research that proves you're performing for half the audience you thinkHow approval seeking silently destroys your career, your relationships, and your sense of selfWhat "ghosts" are — and how to identify whose voice is still running in your headWhy it's not about not caring — it's about choosing deliberately what deserves your carePractical tools you can use this week to start breaking free from the approval trapFollow Andy:Website: https://andyriise.comTEDx Talk: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FbNLu7JcZNAPodcast: https://www.skullsessionspodcast.comLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/andyriiseIf you've ever held back in a meeting, softened your opinion to keep the peace, or made a decision based on what someone else might think — this conversation will change the way you see yourself and the way you move through the world.Focus Now Training - helping leaders and teams build focus, resilience, and emotional control.
