She also addresses risk taking, curfews, intuition and safety, gender and race differences, the crucial importance of SLEEP, and one of the most polarizing issues around raising teens - to track or not to track?

Nurses Out Loud with April Snipes RNFA, BSN, CNOR – Lindsay's defense attorney Reddington “alleged that she was ‘thoroughly destroyed' by several medications - including Valium, Prozac, Klonopin, and Zoloft- which he claimed masked her symptoms rather than treated them.” Her symptoms were misdiagnosed and inadequately treated by multiple practitioners which led to the death of her three children, and her permanent disability...

There are very few people in the world who are truly altruistic, and even fewer brands. But one fragrance company is creating breakthroughs in depression research and pioneering new treatments to end the suffering of millions. We talk to Audrey Gruss, founder of Hope Fragrances and Hope for Depression Research, about:Her inspiring career path to Director of Advertising and Creative Services Worldwide for Elizabeth Arden, in a time when men ruled the industry.Shocking facts about depression: Over 20 million adults have depression in the U.S. each year and over 350 million globally. And according to Audrey, “50% of the people who need antidepressants, who take this type of antidepressant [SSRIs like Prozac and Lexapro, and SNRIs ] do not respond to them."Hope for Depression Research: A foundation that Audrey founded in 2006 in memory of her late mother, Hope, who suffered from clinical depression. While researching her mother's illness, she discovered that the funding towards depression research was limited and so she decided to assemble a task force of the top leading neuroscientists in the world. By allowing them to share information in real-time, HDRF has made incredible discoveries into the origins, diagnosis, treatment and prevention of depression and its related mood and other emotional disorders, with the ultimate goal of finding a cureThe Hope Fragrance Collection: In 2017, Audrey created a line of luxury perfumes, body care and candles, that donates 100% of its profits to Hope for Depression Research.The future of depression research and treatment.

With a strong background in psychopharmacology and advanced diagnostic tools, Dr. Stevens strives to blend the art and science of psychiatric care.

My patients were gaining weight, developing complications from obesity, and we needed to find, together, interventions that would help them.” (03:11) (Dr. Jon)“There have been some studies, including one in the New England Journal of Medicine that said, ‘in the next ten or fifteen years practically everyone in America could be overweight or obese.' And we're already at sixty percent when you count overweight and obese. Forty percent of Americans are clinically obese. I'm not using that term in the pejorative sense that it's sometimes used. This is really a crisis and epidemic that we're facing.” (04:40) (Dr. Jon)“The rates of childhood overweight and obesity are increasing even faster than adults, which is terrifying. Once the body gets to that space, the body sets at that space. A dirty secret is that diet and exercise, once you're already in the clinically obese realm, only really lead to about five percent body mass loss.” (08:01) (Dr. Jon)“I'm so excited right now. I wasn't practicing at the time, but I really feel like right now in obesity medicine with all the new interventions, it must be what it was like for a psychiatrist practicing at the dawn of Prozac. There are some fantastic, new, and really game changing interventions.” (13:52) (Dr. Jon)“BMI is controversial and much maligned, but it's still what defines overweight and obesity. Specifically, a BMI of 25 or above is clinically overweight - that's 25 to 29.9 - and above 30 is obese.” (23:08) (Dr. Jon)“Many men in this country are silent suffering from that. Men already live much shorter lifespans than women in our country. Diabetes and heart disease many of those cases stem from obesity and being overweight.” (27:38) (Dr. Jon)Resources MentionedJFlowers Health Institute – https://jflowershealth.com/JFlowers Health Institute Contact – (713) 783-6655Subscribe on your favorite player: https://understanding-the-human-condition.captivate.fm/listen Dr. Jon's Website – https://jonstevensmd.com/**The views and opinions expressed by our guests are those of the individual and do not necessarily reflect those of J.

If you have been around here since the beginning of Veggies & Virtue or joined me in this journey somewhere along the way, you likely know that I tend to be a pretty open book. I am a heart on my sleeve, share-all, enneagram-2 (wing-3), empath type. So naturally, I have all the feels as we close out this first year of podcasting,   But even for me, this last episode of 2022 feels a bit like I am over-exposed.   Whether it be as I share about my faith, my mental health journey, or the calling of being a “colaborer” that I have feel deeply spoken over my life in 2022, I lay it all out here.   It might not be for some of you, but I hope it resonates with others of you.   SHOWNOTES: Have a question?

In this world in which we find ourselves living, there are two great camps with which we can align ourselves, a choice that will leave an indelible mark on our very being and guide our futures thusly. One path - the Fixed Mindset - is the path of an unchanging world in which we are confined to our lot and unable to break free from the chains of mundanity. The Fixed Mindset lot never go anywhere or do anything with their lives because they're too busy complaining and crying to actually pull themselves up by their bootstraps and do something with their damn lives. Their Mascot ... well, it would have to be Eeyore of Winnie The Pooh fame, right? A sort of walking, talking physical manifestation of clinical depression in all its glory? Seems accurate, doesn't it? (Also, there's a delightful story of how Eeyore got its name that involves some linguistic anomalies, but we won't bore you with that ... just find the person who writes these and ask. They'll tell you.) The other path - the Growth Mindset - is the Superman to the Fixed Mindset's Bizarro Superman, the Prozac to their Clinical Depression, the Tigger to their Eeyore. The Growth Mindset is the path of sunshine, lollipops, rainbows and positive, productive habits and thoughts that are going to lead you and your business to build a better tomorrow. So, this week, our boys Sid and Keith will take time to go over the Growth vs. Fixed Mindset Battle Royale and why they think you should always keep on the sunny side and give in to the Growth Mindset. We'd tell you more, but then you wouldn't have to listen ... and you're gonna wanna be sure to tune in and turn up this week's Overlap Podcast. https://online.hbs.edu/blog/post/growth-mindset-vs-fixed-mindset FIXED VS.

Three closeted lesbians and a nose need Prozac.

On December 29, 1987 Prozac was approved by the FDA. I was 12 years old at the time and one of the first children to be put on this medication. Despite an initial feeling of relief, the results were short lived and came with nasty side effects that led me to discontinue it.I would suffer for another 20 years before finally figuring out the root causes of my severe depression and often suicidal ideation. A combination of two little known conditions: copper toxicity and undermethylation, both of which have a profound affect on thinking, feeling, and behavior. I was able to treat these conditions with nutrient and dietary therapy, which saved my life.To learn more about both of these conditions and the other chemistries I work with in my clinic, please listen to Episode 2 How Nutrient Deficiencies and Overloads Impact the Brain and Body. I also have many free articles here on my website that provide a deep-dive into how they impact us in so many ways.This is a very important and personal episode for me because depression and mental illness continue to rise despite all the drugs available today to treat them. Drugs that don't and never did have the necessary safety studies to ascertain their validity.In fact, a historical review of the scientific literature reveals how antidepressants and other psychotropic drugs, over the long term, increase the risk that a person will become chronically depressed and functionally impaired, which correlates with what we are seeing worldwide.Today I'm talking with founder and president of the Mad In America Foundation, Robert (Bob) Whitaker, to discuss the history and effects of psychotropic drugs.In this episode, we discuss:The history of psychiatric drugsThe skyrocketing number of people disabled by mental illnessHow industry-funded randomized clinical trials are always biased in favor of the drugWho benefits from the distribution and use of psychiatric drugsHow psychotropic drugs (including SSRIs, stimulants such as Ritalin, and benzodiazepines) affect the brainClick on the episode website link to read the full transcript along with links to Bob's website, books, and research.

Jim Watkins and his daughter Faith Watkins, a licensed clinical therapist, join Eugene on the podcast to talk about their book. Praise the Lord and Pass the Prozac discusses mental health and is filled with biblical and behavioral encouragement and practical tips for dealing with depression, anxiety, stress, and many more issues.

This week, Catriona tells us about research into pharmacological waste or medicines in our waterways, including Prozac (fluoxetine) and oestrogen, and the effect they can have on other species; and Chris examines the Younger Dryas Impact Hypothesis, an asteroid or comet strike some believe to have caused additional cooling at the end of the last ice age, and the status of attempts to prove it by finding a crater.

On this week's Dear Dog, Ali and Betsy talk about the often-taboo subject of medicating your pup for behavioral challenges. After some struggles, Betsy's family recently put their Labrador on Prozac and the impact has been noteworthy indeed. We also get a Huck-date…that's a Huckleberry Angel update...and we walk through 15 harmful things we may be doing to our dogs without even knowing it. All that plus Betsy's son joins in on this week's podcast! Tune in!

“My brother-in-law went home and googled ‘Zoloft' and ‘suicide,' and we were shocked. There were hearings in 1991, when it was just Prozac on the market, with the exact same issue.” After being happily married for almost 10 years, Kim Witczak's husband shockingly committed suicide, shortly after he was prescribed an anti-depressant off-label for insomnia. “I intuitively, at the deepest part of me, knew there was no way that Woody … would take his own life,” says Witczak. For almost 20 years now, Witczak has been an advocate for pharmaceutical drug safety and reform, most recently taking on the fight for transparency and accountability surrounding COVID-19 vaccines. “There are more injuries and deaths that have been reported with this vaccine alone than any of the other ones. Right there, that should be a signal,” says Witczak.

FINDING YOUR TRUE VOICE with DR. FRED MOSS “Being a human being today means the same thing it meant in Socrates time, same as it meant in 1492.” [4:07]   “Connecting, being actually resonant with another group or another person is really where the source of healing comes from. And we all need to heal.” [5:59]   “Communication, connection and creativity are at the heart of all healing.” [10:20]   – psychiatrist Dr. Fred Moss *********************************************** SUPPORT DR.

Do you feel heard? Your voice matters. Your voice can heal.   So says psychiatrist Dr. Fred Moss. He is a firm believer that conversation, communication, creativity, and human connection are ultimately at the source of all healing.   Listen in to hear this fascinating conversation about the reality of psychiatric medicines. (Spoiler alert: they're not always the best way forward.) Learn simple and in-reach steps toward living your very uniquely authentic life. Topics We Discuss:   [3:59] Being a human is the same as it has been for all of humanity. Theology and the old philosophers got it right, and it is timeless.   [6:41] Dr. Fred's born desire for human communication, connection and creativity – via California in the 1970s, dropping out of college a couple times, and observing the barbaric use of drugs to stifle mentally ill children - drove him to psychiatry.    [12:38] Introduced in 1987, Prozac changed the field of psychiatry. The idea emerged that if you were uncomfortable, there was something wrong with you.    [14:05] Dr. Fred describes the “soul-splitting” reality of writing thousands of psychiatric prescriptions for patients. In 2006 Dr. Fred started taking people OFF medicine.   [15:12] Some people benefit from psychiatric medicines. But many more suffer from medicines. Many people are paying a big price: removing all feelings so they don't feel anxious or depressed. Antidepressants by design worsen depression. When people discontinue psychiatric meds, their symptoms will spike. This is a well understood response.    [19:47]  Psychopharmacology has the greatest profit margin in the history of planet Earth. We are expected to feel neutral or pleasant.    [22:33] Even if you're totally miserable – there may be nothing wrong with you! We are all struggling.   [25:54] The alternative Dr. Fred Moss recommends: authenticity, finding and presenting your true self. Being careful with what we put into our systems. Finding a mindfulness practice. Recognizing what it means to be human.  Connecting with another.   [28:22] Giving up sometimes -- for a while – is part of the human experience. Connecting with others through inquiry, curiosity, and wonder is key.

Ann Bracken has written two books recently that we talk about in this episode. First we discuss her project of prison poetry called Once You're Inside: Poems Exploring Incarceration in which she describes her experience teaching students inside a Maryland prison. We also discuss her second book, Crash: A Memoir of Overmedication and Recovery, in which she describes her experience growing up with a mother who was overmedicated and eventually being overmedicated herself. We cover prison education, the prison industrial complex, SSRIs, set and setting, overmedication, doctor-client relationships, the value of spiritual stories and methods for healing, and lots more.

How to characterise an American indie band over almost three decades and 10 albums, each with a subtly different flavour? One recent review I read described Death Cab For Cutie as “masters of dreamy, emo-tinged Americana” and while that's rather simplistic, their previous two albums have had a ‘dreamy' feel, a softer production and reflective almost gentle character (or as Ben Gibbard described one of their earlier records, “Prozac happiness”). The band's new LP Asphalt Meadows has something more vital and varied going for it however, with the band capturing a combination of post-pandemic zest for life with a state of self-reflection. There's a depth and a mystery to the record that somehow seems fitting with the band's current standing – one of a handful of longevous indie Americana bands that can make exactly the music they want to make with no interference. Not even from a major label such as Atlantic Records. Ben Gibbard confirms: “Atlantic Records have never once stepped in to change something or baulked at a creative decision we've made. It's been the exact opposite of the horror story narrative that you hear about all the time”.  Indeed. The music industry's elephant's graveyard of indie bands that signed to major labels but could not make it work may be large, but it does not and will not see the likes of Death Cab For Cutie. Over almost 18 years with Atlantic Records, you've made things work - what has been the secret to that? Nick Harmer:“It is a symbiotic relationship. Atlantic has brought stability and worked steadily and have become a dependable band from their perspective. There have been so many elements of luck to it but we've both worked really hard on every record”. While Nick is impressed at how many new bands seen to arrive 'fully formed', like all bands of longevity, Ben Gibbard struggles with the idea of being in a position to advise bands now as to how to forge that path, especially in today's more competitive and less forgiving circumstances.   “The stakes for saying something uncouth in an interview or having a bad show, for fucking up – are so much higher now than when we started. It's important to remember to have fun. We've always gone in with the singular focus of making music that we're proud of and that says something about our lives”.Death Cab are not always immediately associated with fun, the abstract themes in their songs often coming across more thoughtful and cerebral. But they have arrived in a place where they can enjoy their longevity and let the music go where they want it. Something tells me their fans will be equally happy with the place they are in today. Support the show

What we experience when we take a drug has little to do with what the drug does to us biologically. That might sound like an incredible claim, but the evidence bears it out. Since the first laws restricting the sale, possession and/or use of drugs in the United States, a consistent pattern has reoccurred. First a drug is heralded as the next great breakthrough and a cure to all sorts of illnesses and disorders. The hype leads to a massive increase in use, lining the pockets of manufacturers and pharmaceutical companies. As more people take the wonder drug, more horror stories begin to emerge, causing many to reconsider the efficacy and safety of the drug. Next the drug is stigmatized, or even outlawed outright, closing legal channels of access and thereby contaminating street supplies. At this point, the people who can't take the drug anymore want a replacement, so the pharmaceutical development firms work to establish a new version of the old drug--a safer, better version they can sell once again. When they find it, the same promises are made, the same pockets are lined, and the same process of stigmatization and outlawing follows. Wash, rinse, repeat. Set and setting have everything to do with why everyone experiences every drug differently than everyone else. But our current pharmacological model doesn't leave space for us to think about drugs like that. Instead, pharma sells products with blanket statements that paint all drug users as the same.

Why The Owner of Patagonia Gave Away The Whole Company Earlier this week, the founder and owner of Patagonia Yvon Chouinard—the company known for their famous puffer jackets and outdoor gear—gave away the whole company. Who'd he give it to? The Earth. “Hopefully this will influence a new form of capitalism that doesn't end up with a few rich people and a bunch of poor people,” Chouinard told David Gelles for The New York Times. “We are going to give away the maximum amount of money to people who are actively working on saving this planet.” Purbita Saha, deputy editor at Popular Science, debriefs Ira on Chouinard's decision, as well as other science stories of the week. They talk about if it's safe to get the COVID booster and flu shot at the same time, how a new blood test could catch early stages of cancer, why the night sky is bluer, the reason why NASA is crashing a spacecraft into an asteroid, and the fight over trash between cockatoos and Australians.   Depression Isn't Caused By Low Serotonin. So How Do Antidepressants Work? In 2001, a now classic Zoloft commercial hit the airwaves—featuring a sad little blob with a rain cloud following it around. The commercial explains that “while the cause is unknown, depression may be related to an imbalance of natural chemicals between nerve cells in the brain. Prescription Zoloft works to correct this imbalance.” That theory of depression as a chemical imbalance is based on a simple premise: Depressed people's brains lack serotonin. If a patient takes a serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI), like Prozac or Zoloft, it boosts their serotonin levels, and their depression lifts. The trouble is that when researchers started testing this theory they found it didn't hold up. Serotonin is certainly involved in depression. But it's way more complicated than it originally seemed.To be clear, there is a body of research showing that antidepressants do work—it's just unclear exactly how they work. Read the rest at sciencefriday.com. Understanding Metabolism Genes Might Improve Depression Treatment Sometimes finding the right antidepressant medication is basically trial and error. Scientists are still trying to figure out why some antidepressants work for some people, but not others. Researchers at the Veterans Administration wanted to know if genetic testing might help doctors with prescribing the antidepressant best suited for their patients. Specifically, they examined genes that indicate whether or not someone is able to properly metabolize a medication. Ira is joined by Dr. David Oslin, professor of psychiatry at the Crescenz Department of Veterans Affairs Medical Center and University of Pennsylvania Perelman School of Medicine, to explain his latest research and its broader implications.   Transcripts for each segment will be available the week after the show airs on sciencefriday.com.

Dr. Fred Moss is a holistic Physician, Restorative Coach, Podcaster, Psychiatrist Expert, Witness at Welcome to Humanity with Dr. Fred Moss. Dr. Moss arrived on Earth on March 01, 1958 and from that very second has been earmarked to be a healer. The family he was born into, was in chaos, and in many ways was counting on his arrival to bring health and wellness back into balance. Little Freddy had his hands full and over the next 6 decades, he has made it his business to bring healing to the world around him, not only to his family and friends, but to the community and world at large, what a journey it has been.   Questions Could tell us in your own words a little bit about your journey? Could you share with us as an organization, maybe one or two things that you can do as leadership in an organization or putting in place some form of programme to support team members where mental health is concerned in order to strengthen the customer experience? If there was one thing to do immediately to assist ourselves when we're feeling out of balance. What would you suggest that one thing would be? Could you share with us what's the one online resource, tool, website or app that you absolutely can't live without in your business? Could you also share with us and I'm sure you've read many, many books across your lifespan, especially in the field that you are in, but maybe one or two that have had a great impact on you, it could be a one that you read a very long time ago, or even one you've read recently, that you'd like to share with our listeners? Could you also share our listeners what's one thing that's going on in your life right now that you're really excited about, either something you're working on to develop yourself or your people? Where can listeners find you online? Do you have a quote or a saying that during times of adversity or challenge you'll tend to revert to this quote? It kind of helps to get you back on track if for any reason you get derailed or get off track. Do you have one of those?   Highlights   Dr. Moss' Journey   Me: I know we read a little bit about your journey. And I didn't read your entire bio. But if you could tell us in your own words a little bit about your journey, I know your bio, the part that I did read did indicate that you have been doing quite a bit of work since you landed on Earth. And so, could you just share with our listeners a little bit about how you got to where you are today?   Dr. Moss shared that it has been a long strange trip. It's been a little over 64 years now and young at heart for sure. And there's lots of work to do. He arrived on that March 01, 1958 with the whole idea of being counted on to bring joy and pleasure and love and reconnection to that family. And for the first couple years, he probably did pretty good until his brothers got annoyed and irritated with him, he had two brothers, still do who 10 and 14 years older than him. And they taught him how to be precocious. They taught him how to read and write and do math, even before he arrived in kindergarten. Because when he arrived there, he was ahead of the class, he was doing things that most of the kindergarteners didn't want to do, he was like interested in flashcards and books and stuff like that.   He was also bored, so he became a class clown, there's nobody in elementary school, no teacher he ever had who certainly ever forgot him as a student. Because what he was really interested in more than anything, he thought school was going to show him how to communicate, he loved the way that his parents and his brothers communicated with each other, he could just watch him from the playpen. And he knew that there was something special in the world of sharing ideas with each other and he really wanted to learn how to do that become a master of communication. But low and behold, elementary school was not a place to learn that and he thought, “Oh, maybe the bigger kids, Junior High.” And when he got there, it was even worse. He thought, “Okay, High School.” and then that would be even worse, all you had to do is sit down and regurgitate what the teacher said, and that they would call you a good student and move you ahead. And he just thought that was so absurd.   Eventually, he went to college and with the whole idea again, he went to the best college he could possibly think because he loved their football helmets and that was a University of Michigan. And he went there and again, was kind of disillusioned with the idea that what he really had to do was just follow what the professor said and say whatever they wanted him to say and then pass, that wasn't open discourse and that's what I really wanted. So, he dropped out of college and he did what any self-respecting American dropout would do in the late 70s. He had boarded a Greyhound bus and went all the way to Berkeley, California so that he could learn, just figuring out who he was. He had a great summer in Berkeley, but realized he didn't have a job and not much of a future.   So, his mom convinced him to come back and try school one more time. He came back, there was a new field that was just growing, you might have heard of it, it's called Computer Science and the only computer that was there in Michigan was happened to be at the University of Michigan. So, it was a two-acre facility, he spent his day and night there, pulling up batch cards like punch cards and then hoping that the batch would run and he did that for a little while until he realized that wasn't going to work, so he dropped out again. This is when the story starts getting interesting because in 1980 when he dropped out, his mom, again convinced him that she should probably get a job. And I thought, yeah, making some money so he could buy a car so he could go around the country and figure out what his life is about made some sense.   So, he started working at a state hospital for adolescent psychiatry, State House Psychiatric Hospital for adolescent boys. And that's where really his journey in some ways with this whole idea of mental health began.   On January 05, 1980, he began that job and he was a communicator, he knew that he could communicate with these kids and then when they communicated and connected as human beings, well, healing took place in all directions, not just for them but for him as well and maybe even for the people around them. Like treating these people like they were just people and not sick kids who are defective or afflicted but just people just like him who don't really know what to do next, and aren't really sure what their next step was, and really just acknowledging them for being human.   He really, really strongly learned that communication and connection was at the heart of all healing of all conditions. The thing he really disrespected though, was the way psychiatry was dealing with these kids. He hated psychiatry, he hated that they would call the psychiatrist and they would come by and interview the child for three seconds. So, they'd say like, “Johnny's up too late.” or “Timmy and Tony got in a fight.” They'd interview the kid for 3 seconds, and then interview them for like 5 seconds and then take out their pen and write an order. And then they have to go haul the kid into the quiet room and hold them down against his will and then fill his hip up with adult grade anti-psychotic injectable medication. And if this puts him out of his misery for the next 12 or 24 hours, they'd somehow call that a success. He found that to be so barbaric and it's still going on in our world today, if you need to know. It's going on every single day in many different hospitals around the world.   But he just decided that communication and connection really were what he wanted to be a stand for. And he went back to school solely to become a psychiatrist so that he could bring communication back to that field because he saw the opportunity that psychiatry had to really make a difference in the world that they did that.   Over the next 13 years, he completed his degree and completed his residency and completed his fellowship. And low and behold, he graduated as a psychiatrist from a great medical school and a great residency. And there he was, the truth is that psychiatry had gone through a significant change at that time and began medicating people. This whole idea of diagnosing and medicating and Biological Psychiatry falls on the heels of a drug called Prozac. And Prozac had been introduced in 1987 while he was in training, and now he too was becoming a psycho pharmacologist. Now, you can guess that there was some soul sacrifice there, there was a massive heart ache because he didn't want to prescribe medicine, he didn't want to diagnose people, he went into the field so he wouldn't have to do that.   But there he was actually living a life that was inconsistent to who he was. And over the next 15 years, he did his best to bring communication there but more and more, he was being contracted and constricted away from the psychiatric field. In 2006, he decided that he would finally start taking people off of medicine, he took some of his low risk people off of medicine, and they just got way better, reliably better. As soon as he took the medicine away, their diagnosis often disappeared. And he thought he was onto something like maybe the medicines actually perpetuate to conditions. Maybe in fact the medicines actually worsen or cause the conditions at times. Now, this made him really angry, and he didn't know exactly how to manage it, but over time, and it's been, what, 15, 16 years since 2006, he's really learned how to really get respect for not medicating, not diagnosing and then they call him the un-doctor, un-medicated, un-diagnosing, and then un-doctornating people. Really getting that if you're having a miserable time as a human, if you're uncomfortable, anxious, fearful, depressed, sad, confused, scattered, any of those things, it's entirely okay.   And it's part of being a human, to be highly uncomfortable at times, to be miserable at times is okay. That doesn't mean there's something wrong with you. We don't blame a log for burning in the fire, if you put a log into fire, it's going to burn, if you put a human on this world, we're going to be uncomfortable. And we start really looking at that and he's back to getting the connection is at the heart of all healing.   So, he created a company called Welcome to Humanity in 2015. And that was self-explanatory, all things human are okay. The possibility of seeing all people for who they are and who they're not is okay. The possibility of accepting and even having some compassion and forgiveness for the misery that we all feel is all okay. And they started really communicating and connecting as a healer, instead of as a doctor that he had been prior to that.   After Welcome to Humanity, several other different things have sprouted, there was global madness where he was going to go around the world like Anthony Bourdain, and really see that psychiatry is different and the whole idea of mental health is different in Jamaica. And it's different everywhere. It's like what's sick in Jamaica isn't the same as what's sick in California. And so, it can't really be if you have a broken arm in Jamaica, you're going to have that same broken arm if you fly to California, but that's not true of mental health and mental illness.   And so, the idea that it's variable, meaning that it's transformable, meaning that we can alter this whole idea of what mental health and mental illnesses through conversation. Meaning that we can actually make a difference with people without having to put them on a couch 4 times a week or send them to Tibet or India. Or even give them a bunch of ganja, those aren't the only ways to find peace and we can find peace by recognizing that each of us are in this together.   The true voice technology is his most recent finding, after doing the creative eight, the creative eight really took advantage of the art, music, dancing, singing, drama, cooking, writing, gardening, all the creative acts in life can really lead to a reduction of the symptomology. And the Find Your True Voice technology, his most recent book, which he can offer to listeners, actually, is a technology that takes a deep dive into finding our authenticity in the face of any world experience and then speaking our exact truth, like what's really important to us, because you've probably noticed, a lot of people are no longer speaking their truth and they're just saying things that they don't even mean, or not saying things at all, because they're afraid they're going to be dismissed or discounted or censored or cancelled or hurt.   And he thinks in these difficult times in the world, more than anything, we really have to count on people to speak their true voice, because we're not going to be taking care of any of the very major problems in the world like COVID or like climate change, or racism or sex trafficking, or war, or all the many things that have really come forth in the last few years as super problems. Unless we have a conversation going, we're not going to be able to deal with those but the future looks pretty grim if we're not going to be able to deal with those things, it looks like pretty calamitous. And the only way we're going to get there is by really finding a way to communicate together. And that's what he's a stand for now, as he's been since the moment he arrived on Earth March 01, 1958.   As an Organization, Programmes that Can Be Put in Place to Support Team Members Where Mental Health is Concerned to Strengthen Customer Experience   Me: Thank you so much for sharing Dr. Moss. Now, mental health is a real thing, I don't think a lot of companies or even countries for that matter, really gives it the attention that it needs and dedication that it requires. Could you share with us as an organization, maybe one or two things that you can do as leadership in an organization or putting in place some form of programme to support team members where mental health is concerned in order to strengthen the customer experience?   Dr. Moss thinks if you're really up to having a healthy workforce, a healthy payroll, people who are really able to stand up for what's important in a customer experience, he thinks the number one thing to really get is that all people really want more than anything is to be heard, to be heard, and to be listened to, to actually be cared for, to be appreciated, to be acknowledged.   So, if you're going to do anything, he thinks to create an atmosphere in your company, or in your corporation or in your small groups, or even in your experience with the customers were the primary goal is to listen intently to what's being said. And not only what's being said with words, but what's being called for, how can you move the needle forward in a progressive way? What is the environment or the circumstances calling on you to present or you to be with including the possibility of saying nothing?   Can you listen for what's being called for to move that conversation forward and provide that creatively? We're all super creative, every one of us, including those of us who think we're not, that's just an old injury when you think you're not. The truth is we're all very creative and we are all listening at our own pace and our own level, and more than delivering what we think is right. And what he's saying is that more than anything, it's not a matter of speaking, it's a matter of listening to those people who are struggling to say that which is really important to them, whatever way they're doing it. So, he believes that more than anything, the secret ingredient here is definitely listening.   Me: So, we need to listen more because everybody wants to be seen, they want to be felt, they want to be heard. I think it's a process for sure.   Dr. Moss shared that when people disagree with us, we think it's okay to disregard them and dismiss them and unfriend them and never talk to them even if they are our siblings or best friends beforehand. So, these days we're cancelling people out of our worlds because they disagree with us on some certain issues and that's happened to him and it's happened to most people. He's lost friends in the last couple years and it's really quite painful. What's really here or there then is, listening is an act of occupation, it's not just what you do in between the time you talked and the time you're going to talk next, it's actually having those ears open and being super curious about what that person is saying, or what they're trying to get across in a way that really acknowledges and respects and accepts and maybe even forgives that person for being as confused as they are when they're confused. Because after all, if you haven't noticed, each and every one of us is thoroughly confused, some of us pretend like we're not and going to get it done. But each and every human on this planet is totally confused. Of course, how could you not be, there's some crap going on out there. Let's be fair about it, those of us who pretend that we're not confused, are almost more confused, they're more confused, they actually think that it's possible not to be confused.   Me: The ones who think they're not confused, they're deluding themselves.   Dr. Moss agreed, exactly. Come on. Let's be real about it.   Suggestion to Assist Ourselves When We're Feeling Out of Balance   Me: Now, Dr. Moss, if there was one thing to do immediately to assist ourselves when we're feeling out of balance. What would you suggest that one thing would be?   Dr. Moss thinks it's pause. Hold on a second, re configure yourself. Allow yourself to make a mistake, allow yourself to learn, allow yourself to regroup and get curious again, give yourself compassion, forgiveness, acceptance. He guesses you only asked for one thing, and he sees this as one thing. It's like, pause and reset. You can do that multiple times per day, if you want. Pause, reset, pause, reset, it doesn't take very much work.   Me: And I guess the average person is just going and going and going and going and it's like they don't actually take time. I think generally people feel like if they stop, and they're not doing something that their productivity will decrease. But in order for you to be more productive, you really do we need those pauses, don't you?   Dr. Moss agreed yes, you do. He knows how to run like the devil, he's a doctor. So, they trained him in medical school to be up 24 hours in emergency rooms, and in psychiatry to deal with suicide, and with homicide, and with alcoholism and drug addiction and overdoses and all those things. He knows how to run hard. But the truth is, in those moments where he can get maybe even 5 minutes, let alone 20 minutes. So, just stop and sit or stop and appreciate. No one ever told him he'd be alive forever. And no one definitely ever told him that this life was not without any misery. So, the truth is, there's massive misery, massive overwhelming misery all over the world. There are great reasons for it, it's not in your head, it's very real.   There's nothing wrong with you for being miserable in a miserable world when it's going on, for some reason, we have the capacity to recuperate or to reset ourselves because, have you noticed that some days when you're just so totally spent, like you don't have another ounce of energy left, that later in that same day you might have blissful moments, you might just realize the absolute beauty of life on the same day. That is a gift that came from us on creation and it's extraordinary that this too shall pass still works. Even in this world where calamities are just happenstance, they're just every day, there's shit going on that is just thoroughly and totally unacceptable.   App, Website or Tool that Dr. Moss Absolutely Can't Live Without in His Business   When asked about online resource that cannot live without in his business, Dr. Moss shared that he saw that question coming down the pike and he was thinking like, “Where am I right now with that particular question?” And he thinks the cheapest way would be to say something like email or messaging, but we'll go past that. He thinks that Slack is really interesting, although it has flaws. And he thinks that all of the apps, they have significant flaws. He thinks that Google Docs and Dropbox are super interesting, he has no idea what he would do without those two in particular. How would he handle life without Google and Dropbox? There's a lot of his stuff locked up in there, he doesn't even know how to find it.   But he thinks some of the more interesting, newer apps, as he learns about them, he's 64, so he's sort of on the back edge, he's not as quite as savvy as some of the 30 somethings like his son whose birthday is today (July 20th). But he thinks that some of those new apps are so extraordinary as they come off the press and the things they do. Some of these apps, they just do amazing things. But he thinks ultimately, the one he can't live without is he'd have to say, unfortunately, is through Google Suite.   Books that Have Had the Biggest Impact on Dr. Moss   When asked about books that have an impact, Dr. Moss shared that he likes spiritual books. He can't go very far without saying sort of like The Torah, The Talmud, The Mission, or the basic Old Testament Jewish texts, he loves those. He's not reading them this very moment, but the truth is, when he does, his whole life gets re-centered. So, it's hard to not pay attention to those books.   The books recently that he's really been enjoying, he's so excited about are by Alan Watts. He thinks Alan Watts is so brilliant, and just re centers all of this nonsense so easily in 10 and 15 minutes snippets. So, you can read little chapters, it's generally readable. And he just takes on this whole idea that time is just an illusion, or space is just an illusion, or that all we really have is now and he does it in a way that he finds to be so entertaining and refreshing.   Now, Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill, he's sure other people have answered that question, has answered it with that book. He thinks it's a fine book and everything, he doesn't know that it's life changing book in his life. For some people, it really is. But once he gets past the Torah, then he has to get to what he's reading now. He's got so many books open in his living room. He has like 40 books that are open in his living room right now that he's like almost done with or partially through and he just keeps reading. He just pulled off “To Kill a Mockingbird,” he's like, “Oh, yeah, someday I'm going to read To Kill a Mockingbird, because I understand that that's going to really change my life.” But he's got like 23 books to read before he gets to that one. And then life goes on.   What Dr. Moss is Really Excited About Now!   When asked about something that he's excited about, Dr. Moss stated that that's a great question. He's working on both with himself and with his people and the new course that he's developed is called The True Voice Course. And it's about your voice mattering. Basically, it's an online course but it's mixed in with a mastermind, you get his two books, you get access to him, and you get access to a community of like-minded individuals who are really out to bring their true voice forward.   He's graduated over 50 people in his courses to move them from zero to podcasters. So, that's one group of people you get, but you also get people who are really interested in bringing their voice forward. The technology he's developed is comprehensive and he's super excited about rolling out that course, you can find it at www.truevoicepodcasting.com and the first 10 people who come into that course are actually going to get it at half price. And that's a significant savings. And they really just want those people to come in, take the course, let them know what works and if there's parts of it that are vague, or maybe they overlook so that they can make this course spectacular for everyone. This course is running out, starting this week and next week, so by the time that this airs, it should have a number of people that are in it. He's super excited about it because it really incorporates his books and his experience right there into a course where he can source people to find that true voice and bring it over to a world that's waiting.   When he says that there's a personal aspect to this, he's doing the same thing with his wife. He has a wife, a gorgeous, unbelievable, amazing human being who he calls his wife. And they have 3 cats, and they live in a pretty cool house and they're just kind of trying to figure out how to create a relationship every single day. And that's the same thing, using the same technology, because if you're not speaking your true voice, and no one is ever going to know you. And that's the way he is with Alexandra (his wife) as well on the way she is with him, and they bring forth art and communication and creativity like the Creative 8 asked for as well as The True Voice, as well as her own special style, which is through dance and art to really create a relationship that's never been done before. So, those are the two things and they're kind of related and these are special times to be able to have come through this life and still be banging away on things that truly do matter, like human connection.   Me: Now, for those of our listeners that would want to tap into this programme, is it that it is geared towards a particular type of person? Or is it open to anyone regardless of where they are in their life?   Dr. Moss shared that it really is open to anyone. But he thinks what they're really looking for, what they're finding are the people who have felt muted, who feel muffled, who feel fearful, who feel that their voices are not being heard, or that they're not speaking their true voice, and they're eager to do so. Maybe there's a new level of urgency given up all the world issues that we're now experiencing. And these often turn out to be mothers, this often turned out to be mothers on the other side of an empty nest perhaps, or a divorce, or maybe even just mothers who want their children to have the voices. They start realizing that up until now, they've been caring for so many people, but, “What about me? Like, what about the things that really matter to me?” It's the what about me people who are really taking this course by storm, who are like, “Yeah, I forgot how to speak my truth. I want to find my truth. I want to refine my truth. And then I want to deliver that truth.” And podcasting is one spectacular way to do that, it's not the only way, they help people find their voice and then naturally they find when to deliver it and how they're going to deliver it, even if it's just in their family, or if it's on a stage in front of 1000s of people. Either way, it's the same general criteria, they help you take a deep dive to finding that authentic self of yours, rediscovering it, refining it, and then delivering it to the world that really is ready and willing to listen to you.   Where Can We Find Dr. Moss Online   Instagram - @drfredmoss Facebook - @drfredmoss LinkedIn – Fred R. Moss, MD Email – drfred@welcometohumanity.net   Quote or Saying that During Times of Adversity Dr. Moss Uses   When asked about a quote or saying that he tends to revert to, Dr. Moss stated that there's a couple that come to mind. He used to answer this question with a Rolling Stones, “You can't always get what you want, but you get what you need.” He thinks that's a sweet quote. He thinks there's something else, there's, “This too shall pass.” That is a beautiful quote. And that we are spiritual beings living a human experience, there's something very beautiful about that too. He thinks that we are spiritual beings living a human experience can be very helpful as well, getting us centered into the here and now and getting that calamities and disasters and all those things that we hate, no one ever said that wasn't going to be part of this live. So, this idea of really listening in order to learn seems like it comes very easily from this notion that we are spiritual beings living a human experience.   Me: So, we'll have those two, the Rolling Stones, and this too shall pass. Really appreciate that. Now, thank you, again, Dr. Moss, for taking time out of your very busy day to hop on this podcast with us and share all of this awesome content on what you are doing, how you are trying to help people to have more real conversations to really get their message out there and just to be their most authentic and true self, it really was a wonderful conversation. Thank you so much.   Dr. Moss shared that it's his pleasure. And thanks for working through all the all the technological challenges, it really was a beautiful conversation, and he appreciates Yanique and really to Yanique and her listeners. This isn't a pitch for his product, he has a product, it's true. But it's not about that, these are difficult, urgent, real times. And what he really wants people to get is, if you don't speak, no one will ever hear you and if you don't speak your true voice, no one will ever know you. He has a capacity to source people to actually find that true voice and whether you use him or someone else, he's just really, really, really is interested in people who are ready to put their foot down and get that yeah, in what's left of this short life, even if it's 10, 20, 40, 60 years from now, you want to get heard, you want to be loved, you want to be appreciated. Okay, then let's start really getting with who you really are and making that happen. And whatever it takes to do that he implores the listeners and yourself to really step up because that's all that's left to do as far as he sees.   Me: Dr. Moss, so you have a gift for our listeners, please go ahead and share.   Dr. Moss shared that he has a gift, he wrote a book this year that he's really proud of and it takes a deeper dive into this whole notion of how this technology works. He knows the title of the book will surprise the audience, it's called Find Your True Voice and he's going to send the actual book to the listeners if they just sign up for the book, and you can find that at www.findyourtruevoicebook.com. And he'll send you a copy. And after that, he just want to hear what did you think of that book? Is there something there that can move you forward? Or where is it that this book or his talk is valuable? Because he's super interested in delivering talks, and having people really get that if we don't speak well….the future looks pretty grim.   And if we do speak, we can end all wars. And that's what that book is about really finding a true voice and it's simple to read, fun to read, fun to write, and he invites listeners to sign up for a free copy.   Please connect with us on Twitter @navigatingcx and also join our Private Facebook Community – Navigating the Customer Experience and listen to our FB Lives weekly with a new guest   Grab the Freebie on Our Website – TOP 10 Online Business Resources for Small Business Owners   Links   Find Your True Voice by Dr. Fred Moss Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill   The ABC's of a Fantastic Customer Experience   Do you want to pivot your online customer experience and build loyalty - get a copy of “The ABC's of a Fantastic Customer Experience.”   The ABC's of a Fantastic Customer Experience provides 26 easy to follow steps and techniques that helps your business to achieve success and build brand loyalty.

Taking medication while breastfeeding, even taking something as common as Tylenol can be controversial. So what about parents on or who need to start taking medicine like Zoloft, Prozac or other psychotropic medications? Is it safe for both parent and new baby? Today we're going to talk all about postpartum anxiety and postpartum depression medication and breastfeeding. There are lots of thoughts, stigmas, and fears about this, so I wanted to get to the bottom of breastfeeding your child while taking any sort of mood stabilizing medication.  In today's episode of Yoga| Birth| Babies I invited Heather ONeal and Maureen Farrel both midwives, lactation professionals, and hosts of an amazing podcast called The Milk Minute (which I am so excited that I got to be on, so make sure you listen to that)! These ladies have so much amazing information and we get into the nitty gritty. They talk about different types of medication, more popular brands for perinatal folks, how these medicines come into breastmilk, and all about antidepressants and psychotropic medication while nursing.  If you are concerned about starting a medication like this, or maybe you're already on medication and you're considering breastfeeding your child or any sort of way of lactation, this conversation can help you have some clarity on the benefits and risks. Of course always, always, always check with your care provider as well! But if it's something that has just been lingering in your mind, I hope this conversation gives you some peace of mind.

And it was through just this idea that my productivity and my to-do list is just one more stimulant away, one more coffee away, one more energy drink away.”  (07:36) -  A whole new world of psychedelic healing -  “Psychedelics might be really beneficial. They're non-toxic. You can take them once and still see effects a year later, five years later, versus something like Prozac that you would need to take every day.”   (15:29) - Trying psychedelics - “I was just like, ‘I'm getting on a river. I don't even care where it goes.' The intention was let's freaking explore, go off the deep end and see what's out there again.”  (18:41) - James's first experience with ayahuasca - “Like someone was giving me permission to just be awestruck by everything.” (22:33) - Creating new neural pathways with psychedelics - “The entire experience was, ‘You're going to learn to let go and go into the fear. And right on the other side of the fears is bliss. That is where heaven is, is right on the other side of what you're afraid of.'” (25:43) - Psychedelics aren't a silver bullet fix - “I think what the world really needs is to be empowered to do the long game work. And to know that you didn't come to your pain easily, you're not going to come away from it easily.”

West, professor of biobehavioral health and nutritional sciences. “Although nuts are high in fat, they contain good fats, fiber, potassium and antioxidants. Given the high risk of heart disease in people with diabetes, nuts are an important component of a heart healthy diet in this population.” West and her colleagues investigated the effects of pistachios on responses to standardized stress tasks in patients with well-controlled Type 2 diabetes who were otherwise healthy. They used a randomized, crossover study design in which all meals were provided. Each of the diets contained the same number of calories. After two weeks on the typical American diet — containing 36 percent fat and 12 percent saturated fats — participants were randomized to one of two test diets. During the four-week test diets, participants ate only food supplied by the study. The researchers reported the results of this study in a recent issue of the Journal of the American Heart Association. “We found that systolic blood pressure during sleep was particularly affected by pistachios,” she said. “Average sleep blood pressure was reduced by about 4 points and this would be expected to lower workload on the heart.” The researchers found that the pistachio diet lowered vascular constriction during stress. When arteries are dilated, the load on the heart is reduced. The physical challenge involved immersing one hand into icy water for two minutes. Study finds curcumin, the main polyphenol in turmeric, as effective as Prozac in treating depression Government Medical College (India), June 6, 2022 A recent study published in Phytotherapy Research shows that curcumin, the main polyphenol in turmeric, is as at least as effective as fluoxetine (Prozac) in treating depression. Not only can it help ease symptoms of depression, but it does so safely, without the potential to cause suicidal thoughts, weight gain and even changes in blood pressure and heart rate that can lead to shock and death — some of the many side effects which have been linked to Prozac.  The study, conducted by researchers from the Department of Pharmacology at the Government Medical College in Bhavnagar, India, assessed groups of people who took curcumin capsules and Prozac, either individually or combined.  Twenty people took 500 mg curcumin capsules twice daily, 20 took 20 mg of Prozac daily, and the remaining 20 people took a combination of the two.  The Hamilton Depression Rating Scale, a questionnaire designed to gauge the severity of a person's depression level, was given to assess any changes in mood among the individuals who participated in this study. The findings showed that curcumin worked just as well as Prozac, acting as the “first clinical evidence that curcumin may be used as an effective and safe modality for treatment in patients with MDD without concurrent suicidal ideation or other psychotic disorders.” (1, 3) MDD stands for “Major Depressive Disorder.” Monkeys that eat omega-3 rich diet show more developed brain networks University of Oregon, June 13, 2022   Study gives new insight into similarity of complex brain networks in monkeys, humans Monkeys that ate a diet rich in omega-3 fatty acids had brains with highly connected and well organized neural networks — in some ways akin to the neural networks in healthy humans — while monkeys that ate a diet deficient in the fatty acids had much more limited brain networking, according to an Oregon Health & Science University study. The study, published in the Journal of Neuroscience, provides further evidence for the importance of omega-3 fatty acids in healthy brain development. It also represents the first time scientists have been able to use functional brain imaging in live animals to see the large-scale interaction of multiple brain networks in a monkey. These patterns are remarkably similar to the networks found in humans using the same imaging techniques. The study measured a kind of omega-3 fatty acid called docosahexaenoic acid, or DHA, which is a primary component of the human brain and important in development of the brain and vision.  The study found that the monkeys that had the high-DHA diet had strong connectivity of early visual pathways in their brains. It also found that monkeys with the high-DHA diet showed greater connections within various brain networks similar to the human brain — including networks for higher-level processing and cognition ‘Mini-strokes' lead to PTSD and other psychiatric disorder University of Erlangen-Nuremberg, Germany  June 15, 2022  Transient ischemic attacks are commonly referred to as “mini-strokes,” but this does not make them any less serious than major strokes. In fact, a recent study has found that around 30% of patients who have transient ischemic attacks go on to develop the symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Transient ischemic attacks (TIAs) occur when the flow of blood to the brain is disrupted temporarily, often by blood clots or other debris. They differ from major strokes in that the flow of blood is only blocked for a relatively short time – usually no more than 5 minutes.  Despite only disrupting blood flow temporarily, TIAs serve as warning signs for future major strokes. They indicate that there is a partially blocked artery or a clot source in the heart. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) report that between 10-15% of people with TIA will experience a major stroke within 3 months.  “We found 1 in 3 TIA patients develop PTSD,” says study author Kathrin Utz from the University of Erlangen-Nuremberg, Germany. “PTSD, which is perhaps better known as a problem found in survivors of war zones and natural disasters, can develop when a person experiences a frightening event that poses a serious threat.” The researchers found that about 30% of the TIA patients reported symptoms of PTSD and 14% showed signs of a significantly reduced mental quality of life. Around 6.5% of the participants also had a reduced physical quality of life.  TIA patients who showed signs of PTSD were also more likely to show signs of depression, anxiety and a lower overall quality of life than those who did not.  Exercise linked to brain cell growth and improved memory University of Jyvaskyla (Finland), June 14, 2022 New research out of the University of Jyvaskyla in Finland has shown that exercise helps with preserving brain cells and preventing loss of memory, cognitive issues and general memory problems. In the Finnish study, aerobic activity in particular was found to support healthier brain cells and prevent memory problems better than other exercise types studied, including weight lifting and high-intensity interval training (HIIT). While weight lifting and HIIT have better fat burning properties, moderate aerobic exercise seems to cultivate healthier brain cells and protect against loss of memory. For the study, University of Jyvaskyla researchers put groups of rats on three different workout programs to determine their effects on memory and overall brain health. Weight lifting, running and high-intensity interval training were the three types studied. The training regimens created were made to model approximately what the typical human might do in a workout program. The running group used a treadmill much as humans do, and the weight lifting group climbed a ladder with little weights attached to their tails. The HIIT group alternated short durations of sprinting and jogging. By study's end, while all of the rats showed general fitness gains, the weight lifting group and the HIIT group showed no signs of neurogenesis, or new brain cell growth. By contrast, the running group demonstrated growth in brain cells as well as a reduction in the loss of memory and memory problems. Organic food consumers have a 21% lower risk of pre-eclampsia Norwegian Institute of Public Health, June 15, 2022  Pregnant women may be able to lower their risk of a potentially deadly complication known as pre-eclampsia by more than 20 percent simply by eating more organic vegetables, according to a study conducted by researchers from the National Institute for Consumer Research and the Norwegian Institute of Public Health, and published in BMJ Open. “The result is intriguing and supports that diet during pregnancy can influence the risk of pre-eclampsia,” researcher Hanne Torjusen, PhD, said. Pre-eclampsia is a complication of late pregnancy characterized by high blood pressure and protein in the urine. The cause of the condition is not known, although it has been linked to a variety of risk factors including some of the same risk factors as cardiovascular disease. Mild cases may resolve without problems, but severe cases may progress into a life-threatening condition that can only be alleviated through premature delivery of the baby. The new study is the first to show a connection between organic food consumption and lower pre-eclampsia risk.

Remembering 9/11? 11.9 million people watched (there better be just as many people listening to this episode) as Meadow parked, Tony looked up, and Journey implored everyone watching to continue believing. Believe in what exactly? What was David Chase trying to tell us with that song? Considering he chose Don't Stop Believing just because everyone in the production crew hated it, I think he was trying to say *mouthfarrrrrrt*. What a sh*thead legend. That's what a grown-up AJ would do. You don't like the song at the end of the TV show? You know we're killing civilians in the Middle East everyday right? And this is how you spend your time? Upset at the song at the end of your favorite TV show? What rough beast yeets towards Bethlehem to be born. As indicated by this final, AJ-centric episode, the world belongs to the AJs now. Be safe and don't use too many slurp juices on one ape. It's been an honor to be a part of such a fun thing that so many people enjoyed. We had a  great time making it, and it wouldn't have been possible without all our guests, cured meats,  the decline of the American Empire, classic rock, autotune, HBO, David Beckham, fish and chips, *Borat voice* our wives,  Raytheon, New Jersey, George Soros, The Sopranos sound design team, Prozac, track suits, Stevie B, Little Steven, Steve Buscemi, The American Italian Anti-Defamation League, and of course, Stephen Jenkins.
