They also get into Butcher Box pricing vs. fast food and why the grass-fed quality argument actually makes financial sense, Adam tracking his calorie burn on Oura and noticing how fitness naturally increases NEAT over time, Adam's fat loss competition strategy heading into a Cabo trip, the origin of the phrase blowing smoke, the Canadian grandma euthanasia lawsuit that has everyone appalled, Max starting drum lessons and showing real promise in his first session, and Justin finally agreeing to do the Organifi parasite cleanse.

Pastor and counselor Chris Legg returns to talk about something he sees in nearly every grad student who arrives for training at Aletheia Family Counseling Center: fear. After 25 years of training new therapists from seminaries, secular universities, and everything in between, Chris says most show up convinced a lawsuit is coming the moment anyone learns what they personally believe.We start with the phrase "check your values at the door," and Chris shows why it collapses under its own logic. He tells the story of a local university that stopped sending students to Aletheia after an intern wrote that she was glad she wasn't required to counsel same-sex couples, and what happened when he asked the professors whether a survivor of assault should be required to treat abusers.We also look at what the record actually shows about therapists getting in trouble for declining certain clients, why the process is so often the punishment, and why some talented clinicians are giving up their licenses to work as coaches. I explain why I kept my license but do my work as a coach.Then Chris speaks directly to grad students and interns: you matter to the therapeutic process, and you don't have to practice in constant fear. What does it look like to expose your faith without imposing it? And where can counselors with conservative or religious values find mentorship?Pastor Chris Legg, LPCs, and his wife Ginger have been living out the parable of God's love for His people since 1993 and have been blessed with five great kids. He is the Lead Pastor at South Spring Baptist Church in Tyler, TX (www.southspring.org) and is also the founding owner and clinical director of Alethia Family Counseling Center (www.alethiacounseling.com), which offers training, counseling, speaking and business consulting in several locations in Texas.

Kim Zolciak and Kroy Biermann's son KJ Biermann, 15, faces seven felony charges in Georgia adult court. Then prosecutors brought up a sealed juvenile case at his bond hearing. Why adult court? That's where this gets hard to hear. New numbers on semaglutide (Ozempic, Wegovy) and sudden vision loss. A 2024 Mass Eye and Ear study found more than four times the risk. The European Medicines Agency says about 1 in 10,000. So which is it, and who should get an eye exam first? Plus, a Roblox founder's widow wires millions to a Cowboys for Angels escort, Cindy Crawford's son Presley Gerber dies at 27, and this community gets a fake AI influencer pulled from Instagram.

MAPS Abs and Butt: https://mapsabsandbutt.com Code: LAUNCH for 40% off. Includes Butt Building Diet Guide, Women's Supplement Guide, at-home dumbbell version and a free second program at checkout (Muscle Mommy or Muscle Mommy 15). In this episode the guys break down rep speed — slow reps, fast reps and pause reps — and what the data actually says. They cover why saying it doesn't matter for hypertrophy misses the nuance completely, why injury risk alone makes rep speed matter enormously, why slow reps are essential for mind muscle connection and targeted esthetics, when moving fast matters for performance and everyday functionality, and why the novelty effect of switching rep speeds over time likely builds more muscle long term. Adam also shares why he does fasted cardio even though studies say it doesn't matter for fat loss — and why all the behavioral cascades it creates are the real reason it works. They cover the explosive growth of the electrolyte powder market (LMNT went from $7 million in 2020 to $206 million in 2023 and created the category), reading Love and Respect by Dr. Emerson Eggerichs and why respect and love are fundamentally different needs for men and women, the challenges vegans face hitting protein and why Organifi plant protein is the best vegan protein they've used, and the upcoming Mind Pump pickleball tournament. Then they coach live callers submitted through mplivecaller.com. SPONSORS LMNT (electrolytes): https://drinklmnt.com/MindPump Free sample pack with any purchase, no code needed.

If you're tired of starting over and want to build healthy habits that last, this episode is for you. Mentioned in this episode:
I'm the first episode outside of the studio- Heath brings to you a talk about finding balance as a regular practice in life. This one comes from the southern shore of Cape Cod on a warm late summer weekend. Since Heath's birthday is on/near the autumn equinox, that gives the annual motivation to dig in and find what is out of balance in life. The dance the earth makes to balance its day and night is never delayed and is on time and unavoidable- and we as humans should use that big calendar in the sky to do the same thing in our own life.Heath explores this concept from the ocean (sorry for the wind noise) and dives in to help embrace the chance to find YOUR balance!Sponsors:This episode is brought to you by Organifi : clean, organic superfood blends that actually taste good and support your body and mind through healing and growth.

Katy Faust returns to the podcast, and this time the conversation goes somewhere I didn't expect. Katy founded Them Before Us to defend children's right to their mother and father, and she opens by laying out the three principles that drive her work: children have a right to life, children need their mom and dad, and children should not be bought and sold. Those convictions put her at odds with almost everyone at some point, which is exactly why I wanted to talk with her again.What makes this episode different is how personal it gets. Katy asks me, as a therapist, whether children ever really get over losing a parent. That question opens into a long exchange about ego strength, earned secure attachment, and why a twenty-year-old can't yet see what a forty-year-old can about the childhood in their rear view mirror. I share more about my own psychic foundations than I have before on this show, picking up on the personal disclosures in my recent conversation with Soad Tabrizi. We also get practical. Katy shares what it took to help the son they adopted at age two to finally feel secure after neglect and abandonment. Katy explains the “no flinch rule” from her book on parenting, why self-esteem comes from doing hard things rather than hearing praise, and why American parenting has the freedom-to-constraint ratio backwards. And we talk directly to parents who built their families through donor conception or surrogacy: how do you hold the complexity of loving your children while staying open to what they may be grieving as a result of your choices?Katy Faust is Founder and President of Them Before Us, a global movement defending children's right to their mother and father. She publishes, speaks and testifies widely on why marriage and family are matters of justice for children. Her articles have appeared in outlets including Newsweek, USA Today, Fox News, The Federalist, Public Discourse, WORLD Magazine, First Things, and the Blaze. She is on the advisory board for the Alliance for Responsible Citizenship. She detailed her philosophy of worldview transmission in her book, Raising Conservative Kids in a Woke City. Her third book, Pro-Child Politics was published September 2024. She is spearheading Greater Than which aims to retake legal marriage on behalf of children. She and her husband have raised their four children in Seattle. Katy previously appeared on this podcast in episode 145.

Time blindness isn't laziness or rudeness. It's real, and Chalene Johnson has the brain scan to prove it. She's been chronically late, always has been a struggle, and it turns out there's actual science behind it (ADHD researcher Dr. Russell Barkley calls it temporal myopia). Chalene breaks down why some brains just can't estimate time, including her own scan at the Amen Clinic next to her husband Bret's, and why she missed her flight to Dallas last week. Plus, Patrick Clancy is heading to 60 Minutes this Sunday with his new wife, Rachel, and Chalene gets into why a case like this (or the plastic surgeon on trial in California) can drag on for years. Topics discussed: time blindness, ADHD, temporal myopia, Dr. Russell Barkley, delay aversion, Edmund Sonuga-Barke, Amen Clinic, Bret Johnson, hyperfocus, cognitive dissonance, Lindsay Clancy, Patrick Clancy, Rachel, 60 Minutes, Penelope.

What is the best workout routine for women over 40? And how much exercise do you really need to get stronger, build muscle, lose weight, and feel better? If you feel overwhelmed by all the different workout advice—or you've tried intense gym classes only to end up exhausted and sore—you may be surprised by what a simple, consistent exercise routine can look like. In this episode of Healthy Beyond 40, Michele talks about strength training after 40, exercise for women over 40, building muscle, walking, workout intensity, recovery, and how to create a fitness routine you can actually stick with.

I'm eager to welcome back Lynn Chadwick, a retired NICU nurse and founder of Themis Resource Fund, to discuss the critical landscape of detransition lawsuits and legal accountability in medical transition. We dive deep into the first detransition lawsuit victory—the Varian v. Einhorn case—where a therapist was found 70% culpable, and what this landmark decision means for mental health professionals. Lynn shares how Themis is supporting detransitioned individuals seeking litigation assistance, the major barriers they face (including the statute of limitations crisis that prevents most cases from moving forward), and how the FTC investigation into fraudulent billing practices is changing the legal landscape. We explore the difference between autonomy and medical ethics, why expanding statute of limitations laws is critical work that needs grassroots advocates, and how parents and professionals can support this effort. Most importantly, Lynn articulates a vision of evidence-based medicine—one that prioritizes healing and truth over harm, and recognizes that young, healthy people deserve protection, not procedures that damage their bodies for life. This conversation tackles the intersection of parental advocacy, legal justice, and the path forward for families navigating detransition. Lynn Chadwick is a retired NICU nurse who became a parent advocate after two of her children medically transitioned. She founded Themis Resource Fund to provide detransitioned individuals with litigation assistance. ThemisResourceFund.orgX: @ThemisRFLynn's previous episode on my podcast: 182.

Gray divorce has exploded, with the divorce rate for people 50 and older more than doubling since 1990 and this age group now making up 40% of all divorces, up from just 8% in 1990, per Bowling Green State University research. Chalene Johnson breaks down why marriages that looked solid for decades are suddenly ending. She unpacks a 2024 study on late in life divorce, the empty nest reckoning that leaves couples with nothing left to talk about, and how perimenopause and menopause change mood, libido, and patience enough to end a marriage nobody saw coming. Then there's the gray affair. Chalene turns to relationship expert Esther Perel's research on why people in happy, decades-long marriages still stray, plus the surprising odds that a couple stays together after one is discovered. Topics discussed: gray divorce, gray affair, Bowling Green State University, Esther Perel, empty nest, menopause, perimenopause, midlife crisis, betrayal trauma.

Are you working hard on your health but still feel like you're not doing enough? You may be eating healthier, exercising more, making better choices, and building healthy habits—but your mind keeps focusing on what's going wrong. In this episode of Healthy Beyond 40, we're talking about why women over 40 often minimize their progress and how that can affect motivation, consistency, weight loss, and healthy habits. I'll share a real example from coaching and talk about how learning to notice what's going well can help you build confidence and keep moving forward—even when you're not where you want to be yet. If you've been struggling with weight loss after 40, consistency, healthy habits, emotional eating, mindset, or feeling like you're never doing enough, this episode is for you. Mentioned in this episode:
I can't believe I'm doing this. My friend Soad Tabrizi — therapist, founder of Conservative Counselors, and a returning guest — asked if she could reverse-interview me about my own story, and I said yes. What came out was far more than I planned to share, and even if you've been following my work for years, it's probably all new to you.I talk about growing up a white girl near Compton and Inglewood in the 1990s, the racial scapegoating I faced as a child, and the nutritional and emotional neglect that shaped my body and nervous system for decades. I describe the father I've called an autistic narcissist, a mother who loved me but couldn't see me, and the bullying that pushed me into a punk, anarchist, runaway adolescence. I trace the path from a near-fatal drinking incident at fourteen through cults in Hawai'i, the Hare Krishnas in LA, and finally a near-stranger's intervention that sent me to college and, eventually, into this profession.Why tell any of this? Because so much of what I teach parents — about willful children, suicide threats, meeting kids where they are, forgiveness, and how to apologize well — comes straight out of what I lived through, and went without. This is the person behind the professional, and the deficits that became my life's work.Podcasts are not therapy, and I'm not your therapist — but I hope my story helps you see your own kids, and yourself, with a little more grace.Watch the full episode here on Substack.

Meta's AI has started suggesting questions like "Who is this child?" under totally innocent family videos, and one mom watched Facebook piece together her kids' names, birth dates, and deleted childhood photos, all from posts she never made public herself. Chalene breaks down the new Meta policy behind it, and why almost nothing you post online is as private as you think. Then, the true crime case investigators are calling the House of Horrors, a self published horror novelist accused of recruiting vulnerable women for violent films, tied to missing women and zero recovered bodies. Plus a wild turn in the Lindsay Clancy trial, where a deadlocked jury got a rare Allen charge and a retired nurse was arrested for filming jurors outside the courthouse. Chalene also breaks down Bethenny Frankel's surprise trip to Burning Man, and casting news fans are calling the biggest shakeup Real Housewives of Beverly Hills has had in years. Topics discussed: Meta AI, Facebook, doxxing, social engineering, Bethenny Frankel, Burning Man, The Man Will Burn, Lindsay Clancy, Patrick Clancy, Allen charge, Kevin Reddington, Dawn Light, House of Horrors, Raymond Horsch, Eugene Horsch, Leah Remini, Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.

What if you don't actually need another diet, workout, supplement, or piece of health advice? What if you already know what you need to do—but you're avoiding it? Maybe you know you need to eat a better breakfast, reduce your portions, start walking, strength train, get more sleep, or set a boundary. But instead of doing that thing, you find yourself searching for the newest health trend, researching another plan, or looking for something that feels a little easier. If you've been wondering why you know what to do but still struggle to follow through, this episode will help you look at your health and habits in a different way. Mentioned in this episode:
The psychedelic renaissance is here — money is pouring in, states are legalizing, and a federal executive order has fast-tracked ibogaine research for veterans. But if you're a conservative, a skeptic, or just politically homeless, is there room for you in this movement? In this episode I welcome back therapist Karen King (last heard in episodes 81 and 97) alongside her co-author Wesley Smith, a small-c conservative who stumbled into psychedelics through a paragliding accident. Together they've written Sensible Psychedelics: Why the Psychedelic Renaissance Needs Conservatives, Skeptics, and the Politically Homeless.We dig into what Karen witnessed firsthand in the very first therapist training cohort: a week spent dismantling privilege and naming genders rather than discussing consciousness, clinical skills, or facilitation. We talk about why that ideological capture isn't just annoying — it's dangerous. When a patient's mind is cracked wide open in a psychedelic state, a facilitator who imprints their own politics is committing something close to abuse. Wesley shares the veterans angle, where an anti-colonial culture hopes to turn warriors into pacifists.But this isn't a cynical conversation. We explore the genuine healing psychedelics can offer — Karen's work helping a dying woman conquer her fear of death, Wesley's reconciliation with his late father — and ask the questions this movement keeps avoiding: Why does psychedelic culture skew so far left? Where are the liberals whose journeys made them more curious about people they'd dismissed? And can a self-regulating, transparent ecosystem — maybe even one built around churches — grow up outside the captured certification boards?Are you an ROGD parent looking to do some deep, inner work for healing? A trusted friend has a special small-group offering called “Parents Heal Together” which might be a good fit for you.

The former founder of a multidisciplinary behavioral health clinic, she specializes in contemplative and psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy. With Wesley Smith, she co-authored the forthcoming Sensible Psychedelics: Why the Psychedelic Renaissance Needs Conservatives, Skeptics, and the Politically Homeless, which explores how psychedelics can bridge cultural divides rather than deepen them. Find her therapy practice at NewMindTherapy.com. Karen also hosts the Nuanced Therapist Network, a private, vetted community for heterodox therapists.Wesley Smith is a “small c” conservative psychonaut and writer working to bring the psychedelic renaissance out of the counterculture and into the living rooms of average Americans. After a head injury led him to explore nontraditional paths for healing, he found that psychedelics can deepen the values conservatives hold dear — faith, family, duty, and personal responsibility. His co-authored case in Sensible Psychedelics pairs evidence-based research with a culturally grounded argument for humility, gratitude, and moral clarity.[00:00:00] Start[00:03:15] Trump's Executive Order and State Psychedelic Laws[00:06:57] A Conservative's Accidental Path to Psychedelics[00:14:45] Karen's Path Through Ketamine-Assisted Therapy[00:18:50] Ideological Capture in Psychedelic Training[00:21:52] Imprinting Values, Vulnerability, and Veterans[00:29:07] Ketamine Case Study and Personal Growth[00:35:56] Why the Psychedelic World Skews Left[00:44:52] How Psychedelics Broadened Wesley's Empathy[00:48:33] Therapy as Dismantling Civilization[00:52:23] Regulation, Transparency, and Psychedelic ChurchesROGD REPAIR Course + Community gives concerned parents instant access to over 120 lessons providing the psychological insights and communication tools you need to get through to your kid.

Retired Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court Justice Elspeth Cypher returns to the podcast (her first appearance was episode 183) to map the legal landscape of the gender turf wars, fought on four major frontiers: prisons, schools, sports, and therapy. As president of the Women's Liberation Front (WoLF), Elspeth walks me through the Chandler case challenging California's SB 132, which eliminated all gatekeeping for men seeking transfer into women's prisons, and the protective orders finally winning women in federal facilities some measure of relief. We discuss the aftermath of Skrmetti, Mahmoud, Chiles, and the BPJ sports ruling — and why a Supreme Court victory on paper doesn't translate smoothly into changed practice on the ground.We also explore how women's speech has been silenced across millennia, from the scold's bridle to modern cancelation; what “radical feminist” means to her; the ethics of surrogacy; the falsification of birth certificates; WoLF's remarkable new executive director, Jasmine Faulk, who escaped Saudi Arabia; the FTC's fraud case against WPATH; and why parental authority has to be established early. This conversation asks: when nearly 200,000 women are incarcerated in facilities an unknown number of men can now enter, who is defending their right to safety, privacy, and dignity?Elspeth B. Cypher retired from the Supreme Judicial Court in Massachusetts in 2024. She is president of the board of directors of the Women's Liberation Front (WoLF), a nonpartisan radical (meaning "root") feminist organization dedicated to the rights of women and girls.

In this episode the guys break down 5 health foods you should probably avoid — roasted nuts and why they're one of the only whole natural foods that's hyper palatable and calorie dense enough to blow your deficit without realizing it, smoothies and juices and how blending dramatically raises glycemic index and strips the fiber that makes whole fruit satisfying, granola and how it went from an endurance athlete energy food to a widely misunderstood sugar bomb, raw vegetables and why cooking actually makes nutrients more bioavailable not less, and raw fish and the parasite data that most frequent sushi eaters aren't aware of. They also get into how celebrity Ozempic face is becoming impossible to hide, the full story of Sal accidentally buying women's Michael Kors sneakers on Amazon and wearing them to church, Arlo the dog getting Justin back in the dark during an outdoor bathroom break, Troscriptions Tro Mune and the cordycepin research on viral replication and REM sleep, the coaches responding to backlash from last episode's fat and fit post, and Paul Chek peeing in his yard mid-sentence the first time they met him.

Hayden Panettiere, who appeared in more than 50 commercials by age five before starring in Heroes and Nashville, was found unresponsive at 36 in a Greenville, South Carolina apartment on Sunday, August 16th, where her on again off again boyfriend Brian Hickerson and his brother Zach were both present when a 911 call reported cardiac arrest and a possible overdose. Hayden had been on a press tour for her memoir, This Is Me: A Reckoning, detailing a decade long, documented abusive relationship with Brian Hickerson, who pled no contest to two felony domestic violence charges, and the moment Neutrogena allegedly invoked a morality clause after she opened up about postpartum depression on the Kelly and Michael Show. The story also reaches back to her engagement to Wladimir Klitschko and their daughter Kaya, and a surprising parallel Chalene draws to the Lindsay Clancy postpartum psychosis trial.

I'm welcoming back filmmaker Simon Esler, who first appeared on this podcast back on episode 54 to discuss his documentary Cut: Daughters of the West. This time, we're diving into his new docuseries You Are Here, which explores the landscape of cognitive warfare—the idea that human cognition itself has become the most contested territory in modern conflict.We start with the chilling case of Barry Neufeld, a Canadian school board trustee who was fined $750,000 for refusing to believe that children can be born trapped in the wrong body—what the judge's ruling called "existential denialism." From there, we explore how Canada's human rights laws and conversion therapy legislation have embedded gender identity ideology into the legal framework, silencing detransitioners and punishing dissenters. Simon and I discuss how our minds are conditioned by narratives we've never examined, how meta-perceptions warp our view of political opponents, and what Iain McGilchrist's work on brain hemispheres reveals about Western cognitive vulnerability. We also get into the concept of cognitive entrenchment, moral inversion, and the historical parallels between modern ideological capture and ancient child sacrifice in Carthage. Simon shares what's next for his series and talks about the Reclaiming Birth Conference, where he's working to empower families to take back sovereignty over pregnancy and birth.Books mentioned in this episode:The Screwtape Letters by C.S. LewisRange: Why Generalists Triumph in a Specialized World by David EpsteinThe Master and His Emissary: The Divided Brain and the Making of the Western World by Iain McGilchristSimon Esler is a committed defender of families & the lost art of free thought. A winding career path as an actor, theatre maker, ordained minister and mindfulness entrepreneur lead him to becoming a professional content creator & independent filmmaker. His latest docuseries, You Are Here - Reconnaissance for the War on Perception, is now streaming at dauntlessdialogue.com. The rest of Simon's work can be found at simonesler.com, where he hosts an array of films, series, courses & resources focused on leveraging the pressures of modern war to foster personal growth and collective resilience.To partner with Simon's Leaving the Line Studio for content creation, filmmaking, and brand strategy check out his full portfolio.Reclaiming Birth Conference: reclaimingbirthconference.com — a conference in Canada in September focused on empowering families around natural birth; Simon is emceeingX (Twitter): @SimonEslerInstagram: @simon_esler1111Substack: Simon Esler / Subversive Clarity[00:00:00] Start[00:01:27] Cognitive Warfare as the New Battlefield[00:03:10] Barry Neufeld and the SOGI 123 Curriculum[00:05:15] Fined $750K for "Existential Denialism"[00:07:57] Gender Identity as Compelled Religious Belief[00:10:11] Canada's Human Rights Laws and Bill C-16[00:13:18] Gender Identity as a Shield Against Accountability[00:19:17] Detransitioners Silenced in Canada[00:24:33] Recognizing Our Own Cognitive Conditioning[00:28:06] How Media Narratives Mirror Personal Anxiety[00:29:45] Meta-Perceptions and the 400% Violence Gap[00:35:32] What Is Fifth Generation Warfare[00:40:01] Moral Inversion Through Cognitive Manipulation[00:47:25] Cognitive Entrenchment and Thinking Outside Your Domain[00:49:18] When Ideological Capture Endangers Children[00:53:31] Child Sacrifice in Carthage as a Modern Warning[00:59:05] Collective Morality and Centralized Culture[01:02:34] The Reclaiming Birth Movement[01:08:47] Finding Purpose in Defending Free ThoughtROGD REPAIR Course + Community gives concerned parents instant access to over 120 lessons providing the psychological insights and communication tools you need to get through to your kid.

Cameron Diaz became a mother again at 53, and a new UC Davis study found something bigger: 48 of 54 products labeled "pure avocado oil," including 100% of the salad dressings tested, aren't what the label says. Chalene Johnson breaks down the age double standard behind Diaz and husband Benji's third child, names the "small founder" brands caught in the avocado oil test (Siete, Primal Kitchen, Boulder Canyon, Kettle Brand), and reveals who actually owns them now: Pepsi, Kraft Heinz, Utz, and Campbell's. Plus, a warning for Claude and ChatGPT users after a Google search loophole exposed private AI chats, and the story behind Tony Robbins' AI agent Bartok, who traded NFTs with other AI agents to buy him a Sony robot dog he never asked for.

I'm so glad to welcome back my friend Kim O for her third appearance on the show. Kim is a relational soul coach and author who works directly with ROGD-affected teens and their parents — one of a very small handful of people doing work that closely mirrors my own. In this conversation, we dig into what it actually looks like to believe in your child's soul when everything about their behavior is screaming at you to panic.Kim shares how shifting from fear and worry energy to genuine belief in her own son's potential transformed their relationship — and how she now coaches families to do the same. We explore what I call strategic and what Kim calls clever: non-threatening, indirect approaches that plant seeds of growth without triggering the ego defenses that gender ideology has shored up in these kids. We talk about the power of fun and play in rebuilding connection, the danger of suggestion-based parenting, setting real boundaries around devices, and why personality typing tools like the Enneagram can actually give girls a healthier outlet for the same identity-seeking impulse that gender ideology exploits. Kim also introduces her new parent and teen workbook journals, designed to create structured moments of connection and self-reflection for families who don't know where to begin.Kim O is a Relational Soul Coach and author. She utilizes Conscious Principles, Presence, and Authenticity Mapping to awaken you to your greatest power, your Conscious Authentic Self. Through inner child work and profound mindset strategies from the stoics and sages, unhealthy coping mechanisms diminish, leaving your empowerment and high relational intelligence in the wake. As a coach, she provides personal, alchemical stories of trauma turned into gold. If she did it, so can you!

Dr. Rhonda Patrick just told Mel Robbins to stop putting bananas in your blueberry smoothie, but the study behind her claim has a catch almost nobody is mentioning. It's not the only trusted expert claim getting exposed this week either: The New York Times just uncovered AI clones of Dr. Mary Claire Haver and Dr. Kelly Casperson selling supplements they never actually endorsed. Meanwhile, Camille Kostek, Charli D'Amelio, and Ariana Grande are all getting torn apart online over their bodies, and Chalene admits she's been guilty of the exact double standard she's calling out. Why do we judge weight loss so differently than weight gain? And what is Ariana Grande's new video Petal really saying about fame, control, and criticism?

Have you ever said, "I'm only going to have one cookie," but once you taste it, you immediately want another?

You ever feel like the weight of the world is sitting on your shoulders… and you're the only one strong enough to carry it?Everyone calls you reliable.Everyone calls you strong.Everyone knows - if they need something done, you're the one who will make it happen.But late at night, when the house is quiet and no one needs anything from you… you feel it.The exhaustion that sleep doesn't fix.The quiet resentment that creeps in even though you love the people you're carrying.The slow realization that you've been pouring from a cup that's been empty for a long time.This is the hidden side of being capable.The cost of always being the "glue" that holds things together is that your own personal life tends to fall apart. While keeping everyone else's needs first, you lose whats most important to you in the process.

This is Part Two of Teens and Screens, and it's the counterweight. Last episode, Dr. Johann D'Souza made the case for keeping toxic screens out of your teenager's hands entirely. Today I'm joined again by Dr. Will Dobud — social worker, researcher, and co-author of Kids These Days — who thinks the story we tell ourselves about phones and youth mental health is far bigger than the evidence behind it.I open by naming my own bias: I work with the families where it went wrong. Porn addiction, gaming addiction, failure to launch, daughters pulled into dark corners of social media. Will names his: he's oppositional by temperament, and he wrote a book making fun of how adults talk about kids.We get into why the meta-analytic effects between screen use and youth mental health are so small they're arguably not worth publishing, what a third variable does to correlational data, and why Australia's social media ban is failing six months in. I push back repeatedly — on whether "do what feels right" is useful advice to parents who don't know what modern pornography even is, on the candy-bin problem of unregulated access, and on whether calling the phone a symptom of family dysfunction slides into blaming parents.Then Will gets on his soapbox about school, and the conversation turns somewhere I didn't expect: youth self-harm and ER data that tracks the school calendar. Up during term, down during holidays. Highest on Mondays. What if we've been pointing at the wrong thing?Books mentioned in this episode:Kids These Days — Dr. Will Dobud, with co-author NevinThe Anxious Generation — Jonathan HaidtDr. Will Dobud is a social worker, researcher, and educator who has worked with adolescents and families in the United States, Australia, and Norway. Will is from Washington, D.C., and divides his time between the United States and Australia each year. He is an award-winning researcher and educator recognized for excellence in research, teaching, and crime prevention. Dr. Dobud is a Senior Lecturer in Social Work at Charles Sturt University, Australia's largest social work school.

He has investigated and written about America's Troubled Teen Industry, especially wilderness therapy. He has worked alongside advocates, survivors, researchers, and clinicians to protect youth from institutionalization and harm. Will is the co-author of the award-winning book, Kids These Days: Understanding and Supporting Youth Mental Health (2025).Links
Gray divorce hit 36%, Danny Glover went public with his Alzheimer's diagnosis, BPC-157 quietly became legal again, a new bill takes aim at menopause discrimination at work, and celebrities are lining up to undo their own plastic surgery.

5 Healthy Habits That Have Nothing to Do With Food (But Can Transform Your Health After 40) When you think about getting healthy, your mind probably goes straight to food. But what if some of the biggest habits impacting your health have nothing to do with what's on your plate? In this episode, we're talking about five healthy habits that can improve your energy, mindset, consistency, and even make healthy eating easier. From protecting your sleep and setting healthy boundaries to managing your emotions and keeping promises to yourself, these habits are the foundation for lasting change.

Chalene Johnson breaks down the Instagram AI feature that had the internet in a panic last week, why deepfake scammers are now stealing real videos and subtly altering someone's voice and appearance to make fake endorsements look real, and what to watch for so you don't get fooled. She also shares a new survey showing that a large percentage of perimenopausal and menopausal women have no idea what stage of reproduction they're in, and explains why she's been getting stronger and leaner using a hormone marker called sex hormone binding globulin, or SHBG, something most doctors won't test unless you specifically request it. She recommends Midi Health for anyone who wants a full hormone panel done right. Chalene gives a quick update on the Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni legal saga, including the ongoing dispute over $8 million in legal fees, then moves into the difference between Botox, Juvederm, and Sculptra, her own experience with Sculptra after her facelift, and a new lawsuit against Juvederm maker AbbVie. She closes with a passionate defense of Madonna following her World Cup halftime performance, walking through Madonna's decades of reinvention, her physical training history, and why Chalene believes the ageism criticism aimed at her is completely out of line. Topics discussed: Instagram, AI deepfakes, perimenopause, menopause, sex hormone binding globulin, Midi Health, Blake Lively, Justin Baldoni, AB 933, Botox, Juvederm, AbbVie, Sculptra, Beauty Broker, Madonna, World Cup Go Beyond The Podcast Join Chalene on her private podcast

Want to launch a premium, high-margin consumable brand and work with us to bring it to market? Get on the waitlist for our next cohort: ► Capitalism.com Bootcamp: https://capitalism.com/bootcamp I sat down with Djamel, the co-founder of Organifi, who grew a superfoods brand from $1 million to $100 million in about four years. We break down exactly how it happened: a premium, high-margin product, affiliates paid 75% commissions when the rest of the industry paid 5%, customer data poured into Facebook ads, and the team and systems that turned a scrappy launch into a nine-figure business. None of this was an accident. It was manufactured, and you get the whole playbook.

The numbers made sense (22:00) Why margin matters: build a premium brand and race to the top (23:00) The hate for a $70 greens powder, and why premium customers are easier (25:00) Building the movement: community as the premium moat (29:00) From $20 million to $100 million: becoming a real operational business (30:00) Stacking traffic channels, and the podcast-ad advice that opened a new one (33:00) The systems behind the scale: EOS, OKRs, KPIs, and dashboards (34:00) Becoming a leader: from wrecking ball to human (37:00) The two hires that mattered most: his CMO and COO (41:00) Incentive plans: phantom stock valued against the future goal (44:00) Walking away from capital three times, and the "bladder rule of finance" (46:00) The chaos behind the scenes: algorithm swings, lost influencers, tight cash (48:00) Exiting without selling: replacing himself, burnout, and rediscovery (50:00) His $1M-to-$100M playbook: data, team, problem-solving (52:00) The belief you have to manufacture (55:00) Why the entrepreneur bug never leaves DISCLAIMER: The information contained on this podcast and the resources available for download/viewing through this podcast for educational and informational purposes only.
In this episode the guys break down five weird and common things people do that cause or worsen chronic pain — poor sleep, inflammatory diet, macro and micro deficiencies, dehydration, and shallow breathing. They cover the difference between acute pain and chronic pain, how movement pattern issues are almost always the root cause, and why the experience of pain can be just as real as the physiological signal. They also get into Arthur Saxon pressing 370 pounds overhead with one arm in 1905, eating 24 eggs and 10 pounds of meat a day, the genetics study showing hyper responders gain three times as much muscle as average responders, Sal going back to jiu jitsu and the whole family trying the Organifi parasite cleanse, Manukora honey on mat burns, and how poor sleep is the number one injury predictor — worse than skipping a warmup.

Jon and Kate Plus 8 is back in the news, and it is a lot more complicated than the headlines are making it sound. One of the sextuplets, Colin, has a book coming out in October with abuse allegations against Kate Gosselin. And before anyone picks a side, Chalene wants to take you all the way back to the beginning, because the story of how we got here matters. This episode covers the full arc of one of the most watched families in reality TV history, what actually happened to Colin behind the scenes, why he was sent away for two years to a residential facility, what his dad Jon had to do to even find out where he was, and the psychological phenomenon called family scapegoating that experts say fits this situation almost exactly. But Chalene is not here to hand out a verdict. She has real questions about what role the cameras played, what role the producers played, what role we played as viewers, and whether any of this is as simple as hero and villain. Spoiler: she does not think it is. She also wants to hear from you. What do you remember about watching this show? Because this one hits different when you go back and actually look at it.

Serena Williams is 44, four years retired, and somehow back at Wimbledon. Everyone wants to talk about the 31 pounds she lost to get there. Chalene's got thoughts on why that's the conversation instead of her game, and a stat about who GLP-1 companies are quietly targeting next that's going to make you raise an eyebrow. (Oh, and she's recording this one from the south of France, so don't mind the church bells.) Then there's Taylor and Travis, the wedding nobody can stop speculating about, the prenup, and the conspiracy theories that have apparently convinced more people than you'd think. Chalene's not buying it, but she's got opinions on why we all can't look away. There's also a book Chalene can't put down, the hormone therapy research nobody's talking about that could be the difference between life and death for women over 40, the real story on creatine dosing, and her usual rant, this time covering QR codes, gym hogs, and the people who text "we should talk" and vanish.

Nobody warned women that their vaginal health could affect everything from their immune system to their marriage. Dr. Anna Cabeca, triple board certified OBGYN and bestselling author known as The Girlfriend Doctor, sits down with Chalene Johnson to talk about the menopausal symptoms women are quietly suffering through and the simple, affordable solutions most doctors aren't mentioning. What's actually happening to the body after 40, why desire disappears before women even understand why, and the three letter term every woman needs to bring to her next doctor's appointment. Dr. Anna also breaks down what women who've had hysterectomies aren't being told about progesterone, the over the counter DHEA cream that runs about a dollar a day, and why a call to your local compounding pharmacist might be the most underrated first step nobody is talking about.

In this episode the guys break down the five steps to becoming the fittest you've ever been for life — not just for a season.

Sal opens up about his own ongoing struggle with making fitness an idol, Adam talks about genuinely letting go of the all-or-nothing mentality, and Justin reflects on the identity shift from performance-based athlete to training for quality of life.
