Secretary of Health & Human Services Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. is, to put it mildly, a skeptic of selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) medication, a form of meds that millions of Americans use regularly with tremendous benefit. He was once on SSRIs, went off them, then became addicted to heroin, and he believes these events are linked. He also believes they cause school shootings and cause harm to developing fetuses. There is no evidence to support this. Andrea Salinas, a Democrat who represents the 6th district in Oregon in the House of Representatives, joins us to unpack Kennedy's latest efforts to curtail SSRI use and availability and what her minority party is doing to answer the threat. Then we're joined by journalist Jason Gale, author of the book After Covid: The Health Impacts That Will Last Generations, for an update on the long-term mental health effects of the pandemic's trauma and of long covid.

When a hard drive crashes, people will spend thousands—or even hundreds of thousands—of dollars to recover what they thought was lost. In this episode, I explore what data recovery can teach us about resilience, meaning, and suicide prevention.In this episode, I discuss:Why we often don't realize the value of something until it's goneHow our bodies, relationships, and memories are more fragile than we thinkThe surprising parallels between data recovery specialists and suicide hotline counselorsHow a single grain of dust—or a single thought—can cause outsized damageWhy emotional crises are often about imbalance rather than total failureThe idea that the story we create from loss may be more valuable than what we lostArticle referenced: https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2026/04/27/when-your-digital-life-vanishesThrive With Leo Coaching: If you want to reduce your psychological pain, regain your purpose and forge your own path, go to www.thrivewithleo.com to begin your journey.If you or anyone you know is considering suicide or self-harm, or is anxious, depressed, upset, or needs to talk, there are people who want to help:In the US: Crisis Text Line: Text CRISIS to 741741 for free, confidential crisis counseling.

If you've ever listened to Robyn Hitchcock's music, you know that it can get pretty surrealistic. Some might say divinely bizarre and eclectic. Others might just say weird. All of that's fine with the London-born, Nashville-based artist, who has been putting out music on his own and with The Soft Boys and The Egyptians for half a century. Robyn says he's very happy to be in touch with a world beyond the view of the average human and enjoys communicating that world to the rest of us. Part of it has to do, he says, with being pretty solidly on the spectrum and seeing that not as a hindrance but an opportunity. He tells us about such matters as feathery Mexican serpent gods, polka dot shirts, the lives of Syd Barrett and Roger Barrett, and his partnership with his wife and record label head Emma Swift, who was on our show a few months ago. Our host John Moe is a big Robyn fan and wrote five introductions to this episode. If you want to skip them (and you'd be really missing out), the interview itself begins around [12:13].

Many of us feel disconnected from our family stories and traditions, which can create a sense of loss of home and belonging. Pacha philosopher and ecopsychologist Lorena Saavedra Smith believes reconciling with our ancestors' traditions and weaving ourselves back into our history is a therapeutic endeavor that deserves to be embarked upon with respect and authenticity. * In this episode, Lorena is joined by Susana Bustos, faculty at CIIS' Center for Psychedelic Therapies and Research for a conversation on her book, Awaken Your Roots, which explores belonging through the medicine of nature, cultural connection, and ancestral wisdom. Lorena shares how to access tools to interweave your dreams with your deep roots. With a focus on ancestral wisdom and our relationship with nature, she offers a pathway to move through anxiety to rediscover your inner wisdom. * This episode was recorded during a live online event on February 19th 2026.

There is no Tom behind TOMS Shoes. It's short for “Tomorrow's.” There is a Blake, however. Blake Mycoskie founded the company in 2006 under the model that for every pair sold, a second pair would be donated to children in the developing world. TOMS took off, which meant years of constant work for Blake, traveling the world telling the TOMS story, and ultimately getting burned out and selling the company. Despite all the snowboarding he could now do, Blake found himself without purpose and lonely (all his friends worked at the company he just quit because those were the only people he had time to see.) His mental health crashed. He became depressed and anxious for the first time ever, considered suicide, and traveled the world trying every kind of treatment he could find. In the end, getting off meds that were wrong for him and good therapy helped him find the core wound that had been driving him all those years and set out to address it. Blake Mycoskie has a new podcast, No Magic Pill, about how people seek to solve their problems. Thank you to all our listeners who support the show as monthly members of Maximum Fun.

Brad Stulberg is a bestselling author and performance expert whose work explores excellence, resilience, mental health, and sustainable success. Today on the show we discuss: why excellence is an inside game, how to stop chasing external wins and start finding meaning in the climb, why the “1% better every day” mindset eventually breaks down, how obsession and perfectionism can quietly destroy your health and happiness, why consistency beats intensity when you're trying to build something meaningful, and how to measure success by your values instead of just money, accolades, body fat, or status and much more. ⚠ WELLNESS DISCLAIMER ⚠ Please be advised; the topics related to health and mental health in my content are for informational, discussion, and entertainment purposes only.

Dr. Jason Fung is a Canadian nephrologist, New York Times bestselling author, and leading voice in the fields of intermittent fasting, insulin resistance, weight loss, and type 2 diabetes. He is best known for his books The Obesity Code, The Diabetes Code, The Complete Guide to Fasting, and The Hunger Code, where he challenges the traditional “calories in, calories out” model and argues that hormones, especially insulin, play a major role in fat storage, hunger, and metabolic health. Dr. Fung co-founded The Fasting Method and has helped popularize fasting as a practical tool for improving metabolic health and supporting sustainable weight loss. Today on the show we discuss: why losing body fat is more complicated than calories in versus calories out, how hormones like insulin and cortisol affect fat storage, why ultra-processed foods can drive hunger and cravings, how emotional eating and habit-based eating keep people stuck, why fasting works best when paired with better food choices, and the simple daily habits that can improve insulin control, including whole foods, fewer refined carbs, walking after meals, better sleep, and stress management and much more.

Keris and Kelechi reflect on why they decided to rethink the nuances of talking about Black hair and when and why they “hair code-switch”.

Yes, the episode is about a rock singer but it's also about any of us who grind away for the benefit of our work and the detriment of ourselves. The sudden cancellation of the band Sweet Pill's extensive tour promoting their sophomore album Still There's a Glow came as a shock to fans and the press. But it makes total sense given that singer Zayna Youssef had been working herself into the ground with writing, recording, designing merch and album covers and backstage passes, and everything else she could think of to make her band an even bigger success than what their first album brought. Some things she didn't do: be kind to herself, give as much are to herself as she did the new album, or savor the success they had already had. The result was a mental and physical crisis point, a running out of gas on the part of the whole band that made them slam the emergency brake on the prospect of going out on a long tour and working even harder. In a very candid and often very funny interview, Zayna tells us how things got to this point, what she's learned about the grind that can lead to better outcomes down the road, what her new album is ultimately about, and how the now-rescheduled tour will be different.

Cooper Professor in Consultation-Liaison Psychiatry, and the Program Director for the Addiction Psychiatry Fellowship at Weill Cornell Medicine and New York-Presbyterian Hospital.  He is also the medical director for the NBA/NBPA's Anti-Drug Program.

In her book Who We Are Becoming Matters, Zen teacher and Indigenous Hawaiian leader Norma Kawelokū Wong asks “Who do we need to become to move forward in togetherness and mutual responsibility?” Norma invites us to reckon with 4 essential inner capacities—courage, compassion, aloha, and strategic wisdom. We must cultivate and embody these capacities, not just to survive, but to shepherd ourselves through an age of climate crisis, social fracture, and accelerating collapse. * In this episode, Norma talks with CIIS faculty in the Transformative Studies program, Jeanine M. Canty about how we grow, relate, and lead in times of uncertainty. Drawing on decades of Zen training, Indigenous Hawaiian knowledge, political strategy, and community practice, Norma shares the internal and collective shifts required to evolve with intention. * This episode was recorded during a live online event on February 11th 2026.

This episode of the show is about America, ultimately. We're joined by Cristina Jimínez, author of the memoir Dreaming of Home: How We Turn Fear into Pride, Power, and Real Change and MacArthur genius grant recipient for a discussion of mental health in the immigrant and undocumented immigrant communities in light of events like the ICE surge, 9/11, and January 6th. Cristina fled Ecuador with her family when she was 13, landed in Queens, and, despite a lot of complicating factors having to do with legal status, went to college and graduate school. She was one of the founders of the advocacy group United We Dream, was a key player in the passage of DACA, Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, and was awarded a MacArthur genius grant. Cristina talks about the anxiety and depression that hangs heavily in vulnerable populations and also why she's actually incredibly optimistic and hopeful, even in these seemingly bleak times, because of how citizens responded to ICE in Minnesota.

What do you do when depression and burnout disconnect you from the very things that once made you feel alive? In this episode, I explore why progress alone isn't enough—we need rest, play, and purpose to reconnect with ourselves and remember what makes life worth living.Key Takeaways:Depression often shows up as anhedonia—the inability to feel pleasure from things you still care about.Like my dog Mila, we can keep “walking” through life but still need play to avoid becoming restless and emotionally depleted.Action often comes before motivation; reconnecting starts with small acts of contact.A sustainable life requires a balance of rest, play, and purpose.Hope can sound as simple as: “I want to be here long enough to find out.”Thrive With Leo Coaching: If you want to reduce your psychological pain, regain your purpose and forge your own path, go to www.thrivewithleo.com to begin your journey.If you or anyone you know is considering suicide or self-harm, or is anxious, depressed, upset, or needs to talk, there are people who want to help:In the US: Crisis Text Line: Text CRISIS to 741741 for free, confidential crisis counseling.

During his 21-year SEAL career, Jason led high-risk combat operations in Iraq and Afghanistan before surviving a life-threatening enemy ambush that left him severely wounded. Today on the show we discuss: why emotional control is a superpower for men, how victim mentality keeps people stuck after trauma and failure, the brutal leadership mistake that nearly destroyed Jason Redman's life, why discipline and small wins rebuild confidence when life falls apart, how to develop an “overcome mindset” when chaos hits, and why true strength is built through discomfort, accountability and purpose and much more. ⚠ WELLNESS DISCLAIMER ⚠ Please be advised; the topics related to health and mental health in my content are for informational, discussion, and entertainment purposes only.

I'm pretty sure you've been in this situation: you're in a group setting of consequence and importance. Maybe it's at work, maybe in school, but something is on the line. In that place are people different from you. They're of a different race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, and you begin to worry about how you are being perceived. Are you an individual in everyone's eyes or are they seeing you for the group you represent? Does your behavior match the stereotype that exists for people like you in the eyes of these other folks? Claude Steele, distinguished social psychologist, calls this churn in his new book, Churn: The Tension That Divides Us and How to Overcome It. He says it can have an effect on your mental health, particular in the areas of depression and anxiety. Steele explains the fascinating research and experiments that led him to explore the idea of churn and offers ideas on how to stop feeling it and establish yourself as an individual.

The 20th century's discovery of LSD and subsequent use of various psychedelics in both therapeutic practice and popular culture has been a deeply transformational event in modern civilization. It has carried the power of a collective initiatory rite of passage, yet often without an adequately containing ritual structure, indigenous wisdom tradition, or clinical knowledge to mediate that transformation. * In this episode CIIS Professor Emeritus and cultural historian Richard Tarnas examines the larger historical and evolutionary context that brought forth the psychedelic awakening of the 1950s and 1960s.

The things that happened when you were young, especially the really painful things, can easily and often carry into adulthood. For documentarian, former high-powered executive, and actual Mister Rogers neighbor Benjamin Wagner, an adult life of terrible stress and substance use issues wasn't really going to be solved until he understood more about the ripple effects of his parents' divorce and a severe assault that occurred at an early age. To learn more about that connection and similar issues that other people face all the time, Benjamin teamed up with his brother Christopher to create Friends and Neighbors, a documentary now available on PBS, Apple TV, and Amazon Prime. In this conversation, we dig into the trauma, the effects, and how to figure out how you got to where you are and where you're headed.

Eric Zimmer is an author, teacher, speaker, and the creator of The One You Feed podcast—an award-winning show with over 50 million downloads across 800+ conversations exploring meaningful living. At 24, Eric was homeless, addicted to heroin, and facing prison. His journey from those depths sparked his lifelong inquiry into human transformation and resilience. Through his behavior coaching, workshops, and mentorship, he has guided thousands worldwide in creating sustainable habits that last—not through willpower or epiphany, but through steady change. His approach combines cutting-edge science with timeless wisdom, providing practical pathways to greater integrity and deeper meaning. His story and his work have been featured in the media, including TedX, Mind Body Green, Elephant Journal, the BBC and Brain Pickings. His new book is How a Little Becomes a Lot: The Art of Small Changes for a More Meaningful Life. Today on the show we discuss: how addiction creates an internal battle between who you are and who you want to be, why real transformation comes from stacking small daily wins instead of chasing big moments, how to rebuild self-trust after relapse by focusing on actions not identity, the danger of emotional spirals and how to neutralize them to extract lessons from setbacks, why comparing your current self to your past or others keeps you stuck and how to reframe it, and how purpose is found by using your pain to help others move through what you've already survived and much more. ⚠ WELLNESS DISCLAIMER ⚠ Please be advised; the topics related to health and mental health in my content are for informational, discussion, and entertainment purposes only.

You have to call your friends once in a while and see how they're doing, especially if they're undergoing big changes and their city has been rocked with upheaval. Twin Cities-based actor and writer Bill Corbett will always be associated with Crow T. Robot, the wisecracking robotic commentator on bad films on Mystery Science Theater 3000. It's a part he played for many years and a part he'll be playing all over again as MST3K is in the process of a reuniting or sort of merger with Rifftrax, the comedy troupe he formed with Mike Nelson and Kevin Murphy. He and fellow Minnesotan/host John Moe share thoughts on the ICE surge and the heartening coming together of community that grew out of it. ALSO!

Tommy is currently a Research Assistant Professor of Pediatrics at the University of Washington, where his research interests include identifying modifiable factors that contribute to brain health and cognitive function across the lifespan and more.  Today on the show we discuss: why your brain is being overtrained and under-recovered in the most overstimulated environment in history, how constant multitasking is rewiring you to be more distracted and less capable of deep focus, the truth about “cheap dopamine” and why it's quietly killing your motivation to do meaningful work, how structuring your day and protecting focus blocks can rebuild your attention and cognitive performance, why lack of real-world challenge, movement, and social interaction is driving anxiety and poor mental health, and how exercise, learning new skills, and time in nature can rapidly rewire your brain for focus, resilience, and long-term cognitive health and much more.  ⚠ WELLNESS DISCLAIMER ⚠ Please be advised; the topics related to health and mental health in my content are for informational, discussion, and entertainment purposes only.

When our host, John Moe, started doing podcasts about mental health ten years ago, one of his first guests was his friend Andy Richter. Andy, who you know from various Conan shows and tons of other TV shows and movies, talked about having his depression pretty well managed at the time. Since then, his marriage ended in divorce and the Conan show on television ended as well. He returns to talk about the odd experience of dating after 27 years off the market, the joy of remarrying, and the unexpected, unironic, exhilaration of competing on Dancing with the Stars, where he became a fan favorite, lasting deep into the contest. He also talks about how his life has been a little different since that first appearance ten years ago as he became a vocal advocate for mental health awareness. ALSO!
