Podcasts about prozac

Oh the irony. We are taught - largely through entertainment and media sources - that monsters come in the dark. To be afraid. Be alert and know that danger lurks around every corner.Why irony? Because the truth is that the darkness isn't danger. Usually that danger IS human-driven and the reality is that we NEED darkness. To reset our bodies, to rest and as I've come to discover by living deep in the woods - to find the light.ALSO  - There is a small irony in this episode - as I'm talking about deep darkness and isolation - there is a sound in the background that you don't expect  … I wonder which of you will catch what it is?! When you do, shoot me an email - and I'll send you a t-shirt from The Hydrant Club - our members-only “Puppies, Better than Prozac” t-shirt!In a world where what passes for radical honesty usually means someone is just letting things fly outta their pie-hole without much care for others, it's time for radically authentic conversation. Conscious communication is simple, but often isn't easy. That's why Cathy Brooks created Talk, Unleashed – a weekly podcast of radically honest conversation about — everything. Whether her own musings or in conversation with industry leaders, each episode invites curiosity. Curiosity not about what people do, but why they do it. Who they are and what makes them tick. It's about digging underneath to reveal the thing that is most true - that we are more alike than we are not. A mix of solo episodes where Cathy shares her insights and experience or Cathy engaged in conversation with fascinating humans doing amazing things. No matter the format - it's unvarnished, radically honest and entirely unleashed. This podcast compliments Unleashed Leadership, the coaching business through which Cathy works with symphony orchestras, corporate clients, and individuals to help them unleash and untether their leadership and connect with others in a way that truly engages.#dontbeafraid #peaceindarkness #darkness #light #woods #honesty #brutalhonesty #radicalhonesty #consciouscommunication #leadership #Conversation #connection #TalkUnleashed #fiercecompassion #UnleashedConversation #UnleashedLeadership #FixYourEndofTheLeash

Can medication truly transform the landscape of pediatric mental health, or are we oversimplifying the complexities of growing minds? In this episode of Pediatric Meltdown, Dr. Lia Gaggino welcomes Dr. Jess Pierce, a hospital-based child psychiatrist whose expertise bridges the worlds of pediatrics and mental health, especially for children in rural areas. Unraveling the fascinating history of psychopharmacology and delving into the mechanisms of action for the antidepressants, this episode offers a roadmap for pediatricians navigating the maze of SSRIs, SNRIs, risks like serotonin syndrome, and difficult conversations about side effects. The nuances matter and Dr. Pierce guides us skillfully.Discover why family history, patient buy-in, and transparent communications are pivotal to successful treatment—and why prescribing for young people demands a delicate blend of science, art, and empathy. This conversation will change the way you see—and approach—medication and the treatment of kids' mental health.[00:08:51] Exploring Pediatric Psychopharmacology's RootsTracing the unexpected origins of antidepressants, including how tuberculosis and hypertension treatments led to modern psychopharmacologyThe monoamine hypothesis: understanding the neurotransmitter focus in early depression treatmentsThe move beyond serotonin, dopamine, and norepinephrine: new research on neurobiology, neurogenesis, and stress responseProzac's arrival and its impact in reshaping the treatment landscape for pediatric mental health[08:52- 18:06 ] SSRIs in Practice: Similarities, Differences, and SelectionAll SSRIs share rapid absorption, high protein binding, and similar side effect profiles—but key differences can matterImportant reasons to avoid Paxil and to use Lexapro over Celexa, particularly due to side effect burdensNuanced considerations: matching specific SSRIs to individual patient needs, such as Prozac's activating profile for low-energy depressionPractical dosing strategies: the art of balancing “start low and go slow” with the urgency to help suffering children[18:07- 27:59] Navigating Risks, Side Effects, and Patient MonitoringThe truth behind the Black Box Warning: clarifying risks of suicidal ideation vs. the dangers of untreated depressionWhy regular, open conversations with families about medication side effects—especially sexual side effects in teens—build trust and adherenceRecognizing and managing serotonin syndrome: how to spot symptoms and when emergency intervention is neededIdentifying high-risk drug interactions, including situations with migraine or neurology medications[28:00-45:19 ] From SNRIs to the Five-Step Prescribing Approach and BeyondHow SNRIs differ from SSRIs in action, side effects, and indication—especially in pain syndromes or where activating effects are desiredThe use of Wellbutrin as an alternative with fewer sexual side effects, and cautions for seizure-prone populationsStrategic guidelines: the five-step approach to medication choice, considering patient history, family response, symptoms, buy-in, and comorbiditiesCritical cautions with genetic testing and the limitations of using these results to guide first-line medication choices[45:20-1:00:00] Dr Lia's TakeAwaysResources Mentioned:Dr. Pierce's PPT on Pediatric Psychopharmacology Hello!

After two Jhana meditation retreats Nadia Asparouhova could silence her mind, change her emotional state at will, and even intentionally slip out of consciousness. It challenged the idea that our minds are not under our control—and made her wonder if we're more like AI than we realize. Nadia is a writer and researcher of technology and culture. She published Working in Public, a book about the evolution of open-source development, with Stripe Press in 2020. Her latest book, Antimemetics, is about why some ideas don't go viral even though they're powerful. I had her on the show to talk about her experience with Jhana meditation and how it reshaped the way she thinks about being human in the age of AI. We get into:Jhana as a means to nurture profound joy and calm. Unlike many meditation practices that emphasize passive observation, Jhana is goal-oriented—practitioners proactively cultivate states of concentrated bliss. Apart from helping her regulate her emotions, it prompted Nadia to reexamine deep questions of our human existence. Self-talk is not essential as it seems. Nadia describes how advanced meditation quieted her inner voice—challenging the idea that self-talk is core to being human.How years of cultural evolution have shaped our sense of self. According to Nadia, our modern conception of “self”  isn't as timeless as we assume. She draws on psychologist Julian Jaynes's theory that our inner dialogue—what we often equate with consciousness—only emerged in humans a few thousand years ago; a provocation to reconsider the benchmarks we use to assess the intelligence or sentience of LLMs.What it is like to experience a “cessation.” On her last meditation retreat, Nadia experiences a cessation where your consciousness abruptly winks out—like suddenly flipping a switch. Nadia described it as slipping into nothingness, then returning with the jarring realization that even your sense of self can vanish and reappear.Why she likes the unknowability of AI. The mechanics of exactly how LLMs predict their next token remain a mystery. Driven by thousands of subtle, context-dependent correlations, they're too complex to distill into a simple explanation. Nadia finds joy in the unknowability of it all, seeing the ambiguity as an invitation to explore. How she uses AI as a writing partner. Nadia believes the trope of the solitary, brooding writer is beginning to shift with the rise of LLMs. For her, ChatGPT has made writing feel less isolating. She turns to it at both ends of the process: to help make sense of early ideas, and later, to sharpen phrasing and land on just the right words.If you found this episode interesting, please like, subscribe, comment, and share! Want even more?Sign up for Every to unlock our ultimate guide to prompting ChatGPT here: https://every.ck.page/ultimate-guide-to-prompting-chatgpt.

Just when you thought the world couldn't get any more dangerous, India and Pakistan are rattling sabres, following a terrible massacre in the Kashmir-administered region of India. While we know a response is imminent, the idea of two of the world's nuclear powers heading into confrontation is not a good sign in a world already overwhelmed by war. Will sanity prevail, or will Nationalism in both countries push us further towards a world of violence? Can the world even survive it?On the other side of the world, in Portugal, Spain, as well as part of France and Belgium, we saw the grid go out and it was chaos. There are many interesting aspects to this story, but the most interesting was the “facts” being shared (and believed) before the engineers even had time to understand what actually happened! Mis- and disinformation is now out there and no matter the facts shared, it will continue to be believed. It was also Trump's first 100 days in power and the media around the world is reporting on this, so how did he honour himself? We'll discuss it tomorrow.We'll also talk about Bezos bending down, China not bending down, how aligning with Trump isn't great for your electoral chances, Australia and Singapore's forthcoming elections, the extreme heat events hammering India, Pakistan and the Middle East, and more, so come and join us, Friday 2nd May, 8am UK, 2pm TH, 3pm SG and 6pm AEST.To help us this week, we've got two special guests. Dr. Saurabh Patil is joining us from India, and he is a renowned keynote speaker, coach, author and accomplished restaurateur. His work focuses on men's mental health, where he has made significant strides in breaking down barriers and fostering open conversations. Saurabh's book is The Alchemy of Anger, harness your rage, transform your purpose – available now. We also have Xintian Zhang, who has spent half her life in China and the other half in Singapore, bringing a unique perspective to the discussion. Xintian has bilingual fluency and a bicultural understanding of both societies, and she works in cross-cultural communication to promote collaboration between China and Southeast Asia. Prior to this, she worked in digital transformation, branding and marketing strategies for multi-national corporations, and now she leverages her consumer knowledge, research skills, and project management competency to facilitate cross-border engagement.The Know Show is a Livestream held every fortnight on Friday, where Andrea T Edwards, Tim Wade and Joe Augustin, and at least one special guest, review the news that's getting everyone's attention, as well as perhaps what requires our attention.

After several conversations about antidepressants, the Dorx welcome back pediatrician Dr. Julia Mason, who prescribes Selective Seretonin Reuptake Inhibitors (SSRIs) to young people. Do we even know what these drugs do to developing brains? How do antidepressants compare with “gender-affirming care”? Does Barlean's Fish Oil really taste like lemon custard? We also talk about myelnation, the distress of youth, the parasympathetic nervous system, neurotransmitters, immunosuppression, social costs and benefits of treatments, wildly swinging trends in medicine, unintended consequences, public schools, and the over-diagnoses of Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD).

What if there's nothing wrong with you… but everything wrong with your environment?This week, Andy Cope tackles big questions about mental health, modern living, and whether humans—like zoo animals—might be suffering from a case of "zoochosis."From a conversation with a GP to giraffes on Prozac, this episode explores the idea that maybe it's not you that's broken, but the world we've built around ourselves.There's a bit of science, a few stats, some eyebrow-raising therapy trends (yes, including one that involves drinking your own wee), and a powerful reminder of what Art of Brilliance has always been about: helping you unlearn what's holding you back, and rediscover how to shine.Tune in for fresh thinking, bold questions, and maybe—just maybe—a new way of looking at the chaos around you.

Entre Trump qui menace de relancer une guerre commerciale à lui tout seul, la confiance du consommateur qui a la gueule de bois, et les indices qui flottent comme des canards sous Prozac... on va avoir droit à 4 jours de haute voltige.

Wait! your dental implant failed... because of an antidepressant? This is what nobody tells you about SSRIs, and honestly, it's terrifying. Antidepressants like Lexapro, Prozac, and Zoloft are more common than ever—but they come with side effects your patients and your team might not be ready for. In this episode, we dig into the surprising ways these meds impact the mouth, including: Why clenching and facial pain could be linked to SSRIs The real reason some patients bleed more during procedures A hidden connection between antidepressants and implant failure A smarter way to talk to patients about what they're really taking Why dental assistants often hear things no one else does—and what to do about it If you're doing extractions, implants, or any kind of surgery, this info is a must. Plus, there's a reminder for any dental assistant who might be struggling themselves: you're not alone, and help is out there.

Jordan Sather and Nate Prince bring the heat in Episode 39 of MAHA News, diving into one of the biggest stories yet: RFK Jr.'s promise that HHS will uncover the true cause of the autism epidemic by September. The hosts break down Trump's shocking “maybe it's a shot” comment, the historic shift in tone from federal leadership, and the growing panic inside Big Pharma as vaccine narratives collapse. They also cover RFK's push to stop CDC recommendations on fluoride in drinking water, why it matters, and how consumers can protect themselves from hidden sources of fluoride, from Teflon pans to Prozac. The conversation moves into wellness territory, with practical advice on filtering your water, choosing better cookware, and avoiding toxic additives in food and supplements. Other highlights include a new Texas investigation into Kellogg's for lying about toxic food dyes, the decline of Pfizer stock, the VA pushing Ozempic, and tariffs threatening the cheap foreign supplement racket. They spotlight groundbreaking cancer and flu shot studies, and even dig into alternative treatments like DMSO, ibogaine, and the rise of peptides, for better and worse. Packed with laughs, rants, and no-holds-barred truth bombs, this episode is a firehose of MAHA energy that hits every angle of the health, freedom, and sovereignty fight.

In this final episode of Season 7 of Style DNA I go on a Style journey with a true icon of British design, my friend, the  world-renowned Interior Designer, Author of 10 books, affectionately dubbed the 'Queen of Taupe', ...the titian haired, inspirational pocket-rocket power house that is Kelly Hoppen CBE. I first met Kelly when she was looking for a wedding dress...there are some designs that you never forget as a designer and to this day, 35 years on, I could sketch that dress, coat and shoes precisely ... all very pre-Raphaelite...I was thrilled to learn that Kelly still owns it and what's more still wears the floor length velvet coat over jeans.She talks openly about how long it took her to find her style and how much more relaxed she is in making her purchasing decisions now that she has her style formula...her Style DNA.We laugh about her going to give a talk at Bloomberg and how she dressed up to fit in with what she thought was expected of her, as though she was going into a boardroom, only to be told by someone very close to her to go and change, asking "where has Kelly Hoppen gone?!" and reminding her that Bloomberg had invited her because of who she was. This was clearly a pivotal moment for her, and the lesson was to never lose your own identity because of what you perceive to be someone else's expectations of you. Such good advice.Of course, I had to ask her about her time as a WAG when she dated the footballer Sol Campbell (16 years her junior) and she talks honestly about some of her fashion choices being "quite questionable" for a time.Now she lives between London and the Cotswolds and we discuss what country dressing means in that uber glam part of the country...it's certainly not jeans and tweeds!But more importantly, we chat about her being chosen by L'Oreal to be one of the faces of their brilliant Age Perfect Campaign...a real pinch me moment for Kelly but one that she truly deserved. The Kelly I know has always worked diligently at her fitness and wellbeing and at 65 she has never looked better, clearly comfortable in her skin, and more relaxed than ever. Bravo Kelly and thank you for sharing your Style journey, Prozac boots and all!I hope you enjoy this episode ...it was a treat for me to take a journey through time and style with someone I have known for so long...thank you @kellyhoppen for friendship and this style chat xx

MAHA will transcend MAGA,” says Alex Clark, wellness influencer and host of "Culture Apothecary with Alex Clark." After Big Pharma “zombified” an entire generation and put Americans on a “never-ending treadmill of pharmaceutical interventions,” Americans are waking up to the fact that “hundreds of millions of people are dying from chronic disease,” “fertility rates are dropping 1% to 2% every year,” and “we have medicalized the human experience” with SSRIs and antidepressants. Alex says we are “edging towards a society” where it will be “nearly impossible” to marry someone without autism and explains why Michelle Obama's “Let's Move: America” campaign was a failure. “Millennials are guinea pigs in an experiment we never consented to,” Alex says, exposing how Big Food and Big Pharma have wreaked havoc on the rising generations and why she is excited about RFK Jr. leading the HHS. She shocks Glenn by telling him that hormonal birth control affects who women choose to date, why the keto diet can be “lifesaving” for brain cancer patients, and what the heck a “seed oil” is and why everyone is talking about it. In the end, they agree that “food that can't expire isn't food,” and maybe it's not necessary to give our dogs Prozac.       GLENN'S SPONSORS       Relief Factor         Relief Factor can help you live pain-free!

We discuss the cycle of women being put on psychiatric drugs over the last seventy years, typically a trend of SSRIs and then switching to stimulants, and its relationship to femininity. The internet has caused many women to self-diagnose due feeling there is something wrong with them and then seek out the diagnosis. Many women, against all observable evidence, feel inadequate and that their must be something wrong with them if feel unable to keep up with the demands of motherhood or the increasingly hostile work environments of late capitalism. From the popular rise of Prozac to today's methamphetamine shortage, we discuss some of the reoccurring themes women describe when seek medication to "feel better".Plus, why women and girls are often told they "talk too much" (especially when good communicators), the never ending treadmill to nowhere of femininity, being outside the social fabric as a gay person, how economic demands create social avenues, the denial of social construction in gender norms amidst declarations of nature, and the problem with Twin Studies.

On Wednesday, January 22nd 2025 Dr. Roger McFillin was interviewed by Dr. Nikki Johnson, a pediatrician and the Director of FAIR (Foundation Against Intolerance and Racism) in Medicine for a live webinar event. The webinar, titled "Informed Consent and SSRIs Revisited: Side Effects and Treatment Alternatives," tackles one of the most pressing issues in mental healthcare today. It was too important to not get out on a podcast episode. Medical freedom and Informed consent are one of the most pressing issues of our time. The Foundation Against Intolerance & Racism ("FAIR")is a nonprofit, nonpartisan organization committed to challenging threats to civil liberties from identity-based practices. As an organization committed to promoting honest scientific discourse and defending medical freedom, FAIR is uniquely positioned to facilitate these crucial conversations. During this live webinar, Dr. McFillin and Dr. Johnson explored critical questions about SSRI medications that often go undiscussed: What are the full range of side effects? What alternative treatments exist? How has industry influence shaped our understanding of these medications? Most importantly, what information do patients need for genuine informed consent?The Foundation Against Intolerance & Racism ("FAIR") WebsiteYoutube video of the Live Webinar RADICALLY GENUINE PODCASTDr. Roger McFillin / Radically Genuine WebsiteYouTube @RadicallyGenuineDr. Roger McFillin (@DrMcFillin) / XSubstack | Radically Genuine | Dr. Roger McFillinInstagram @radicallygenuineContact Radically GenuineConscious Clinician CollectivePLEASE SUPPORT OUR PARTNERS15% Off Pure Spectrum CBD (Code: RadicallyGenuine)10% off Lovetuner click here—-----------FREE DOWNLOAD!

Training dogs for over 13 years has allowed me to learn a bit about how drugs like Trazadone and Prozac operate. Here are some things to think about if you are considering pharmaceutical intervention for your dog.

Hoy es viernes de sexo, señoras y señores, y esto es otro gran episodio de Bájale 2. Empezamos el episodio por el bello pueblo de Cabo Rojo donde una señora, que se supone cuida viejos, los deja con hambre y las nalgas embarradas en marrón. De ahí brincamos a Camuy donde, unos mozalbetes, se meten en las neveras de un supermercado, no para robar mercancía, sí para llevarse el cobre de los refrigeradores. De Camuy pasamos a los Estados Unidos, donde nos enteramos que nuestro nuevo Secretario de Salud no cree en las vacunas y piensa que los "school shootings" son por culpa del Prozac. Volvemos, en Frontier, para Puerto Rico, donde Maripily celebra el cumpleaños de Joe Joe sacando la carátula de la Revista VEA más fea aprobada por Papo Brenes.

In this episode, I'm talking all about restlessness and anxiety in dogs—something I get a lot of questions about. I'm answering a listener's question on how we can use herbs to help with things like reactivity, separation anxiety, and just general restlessness. I share some of my go-to herbs, like nettles and chamomile, that support the kidneys and nervous system, plus some tips for calming your dog's anxiety. I also talk about how we, as dog owners, need to check in with our own stress levels because our dogs pick up on our energy. And of course, we go over why I'm not a huge fan of meds like Prozac and Trazodone for behavioral issues, and why natural remedies like flower essences and calming herbs are often the way to go.

Let's talk about the health benefits of turmeric. One study found that curcumin was just as effective as ibuprofen at reducing pain from arthritis without side effects! It's also shown to be as effective as aspirin. Another study showed that curcumin had comparable results to Prednisone in reducing inflammation for rheumatoid arthritis, asthma, and IBS. It has also been shown to produce antidepressant effects similar to Prozac and Zoloft. Curcumin has anti-diabetic properties and effects similar to Metformin. It also has anticoagulant properties similar to aspirin and Warfarin. Research has shown that curcumin has benefits similar to statins and can help reduce LDL cholesterol and triglycerides. One study compared curcumin to 5-fluorouracil, a chemotherapy drug. Turmeric has been shown to be as effective as anti-inflammatory drugs, especially for irritable bowel disease and digestive problems. It may also help reduce blood pressure and inhibit pathogens, especially fungi. To prepare turmeric water, combine ½ teaspoon of turmeric powder, a pinch of black pepper, and half of a lemon in a glass of warm water. To prepare golden milk, combine ½ teaspoon of turmeric, ¼ teaspoon of cinnamon, and a pinch of black pepper in a cup of milk or coconut milk. Heat the mixture and remove from heat just before it comes to a boil. You can also add turmeric to a smoothie with berries and kefir. If you have a cough, try drinking a cup of hot water with a teaspoon of turmeric and a tablespoon of raw honey.

U.S. Marines run toward the fire, closing in on the sights and sounds of people under cataclysmic assault in the distance. Today, we interview Patrick Hahn, Ph.D., a journalist who is always running toward the fire.   As an evolutionary biologist, he is naturally drawn to many of the same issues as we are, and so for decades, we have found each other again and again doing our best at some of the same fires from psychiatric drugs and the false genetic theories of “mental illness” to the crushing effect of “scienceless” (a new word I just this moment created) COVID oppressive practices.   Yes, the entire COVID scam was senseless and scienceless except as a gross destruction of humanity's freedom.   We cover these issues today based on his brilliant books and then relate all this to the wanton destruction of humanity being perpetrated by global predators on the world today.   Patric Hahn is unique in his brilliance at summarizing the central issues of our time with eloquence. To this, we feel morally obliged to add that America is on the threshold of destruction at the hands of bizarre, violent, progressive globalists.   All the violent opposition to Donald Trump's presidency ultimately filters down from the most powerful people in the world. These global predators want to turn American First into Destroy America First.   Resources:   Patrick D.

Podcast 416 Ask David is it reckless to question the existence of the "soul?"' How can I make myself accountable? Do we have a "personality," or is that just another illusion?  Do questions about the "self" and "free will" involve All-or-Nothing thinking? The answers below were prepared prior to the podcast, and simply based on email exchanges. Be sure to listen to the live podcast discussion to get a variety of opinions and comments! Questions for today's podcast. #1: Weren't your comments on the self a bit reckless, given that the existence of / or belief in the “soul” is a prerequisite for most religions? #2: How can I make myself accountable for doing the exercises in your books? #3. Holy asks if the concept of having “a personality” is the same as the question of having “a self?” #4. Could questions about the “self” and “free will” involve All-or-Nothing Thinking?   Question #1. (not question, just a comment worthy of a response) Your comments on the “self” were shallow, mocking and restless. The recent episode on ‘Do I have a self?' (Episode 406) was very shallow and mocking of people who thought there was a soul/self. Given a soul is a prerequisite for most religions, dismissing it out of hand without meaningful discussion seems reckless. David's response Thanks, there's a lot of truth in your comment and we'll definitely include this on an upcoming Ask David! To give a brief response prior to the show, I would say that I am not trying to defend or attack any religion, but don't want to give up my right to freedom of thought. I, David, am not saying that the “soul” does not exist, but what I am saying is hard to convey, and I probably won't be successful now, either. But, when you talk about a “soul,” I do not have any idea what you mean by that word, or what you are referring to, if anything. To me, words like “self” or “soul” are simply language that is “out of gear,” as Wittgenstein might say. Meaning can only occur in a specific concept. It is not the case that there are “pure meanings” for abstract concepts. Thinking along those lines was the huge error that Plato and Aristotle made. Now, let's say I go to YouTube and listen to some really kick-ass music that I totally love. I might say, “Wow, that guy (like James Brown, for example) really has soul!” What I'm saying is that I tremendously admire and appreciate his talent, his energy, and so forth. I am not referring to something metaphysical. My concern about your comment is that it sounds scolding, at least to my ear, like the “morality police,” perhaps. Personally, I have seen a great deal of evil done in the name of this or that religion, and I have no doubt that you have, too! Still, I am sure you have strong religious beliefs, which I respect, and apologize for having offended you. But I admit I am ambivalent, and partially happy that you are offended, and speaking out, because I believe that critical thinking is also tremendously precious, just as your religious beliefs are precious to you. In a selfish way, I have to confess I am also happy for the criticism, because controversy stirs up interest, and I am trying to interest people in our podcasts, which are ultimately dedicated to healing and relief of suffering. Still, I cannot deny the truth in your comment, that my “critical thinking” can be a disguise for a put down. When I wrote Feeling Good, I was very aware already (in the 1970s) that the chemicals categorized as “antidepressants” had few or no clinically significant effects above and beyond their placebo effects, and subsequent research has validated this. But I did not emphasize this in that book because I did not want to pull the rug out from anybody, and hurt anybody's feelings. After all, if you are getting a nice “placebo effect,” that's a good thing, at lest to some extent. Now, I'm older, so I'm more willing to speak my mind, and let the chips fall where they may. And you have bravely spoken your mind, too. Kudos to you! And that's the end of my prayer! Keep those good thoughts rolling along. Amen Best, david (PS I'm sure you'll get way better answers from the others on the podcast tomorrow!)   Question #2. How can I make myself accountable for doing the exercises in your books? Good to have Fabrice back. Regarding your books I have a question. I have trouble holding myself accountable doing the exercises in the book. Do you have any advice on how to prioritize doing the homework and being disciplined with it? How did other depressed people get better using your books? I already filled out multiple notebooks but appear to be stuck. Any help appreciated! David's Response Thanks, we will address your question on a future Ask David podcast, if that's ok.   Question #3. Holy asks if the concept of having “a personality” is the same as the question of having “a self?” @HolyLoveQuest  • 1 day ago Thank you for this video on this topic, it was very clear to me! It's a shame that this chapter of your Feeling Great book was removed, because to me this philosophical point is one important tool (among the many techniques that you propose) to get read of negative thinking, and to heal. What you said about the DSM is refreshing, and I agree with it. So, you said schizophrenia and bipolar1 are mental disorders, and you explained why, but what would be the third: psychopathy? It would be nice if you do another video where you dig on this. Your voice on it is really important. What the APA is doing is really concerning. Other psychiatrists disagree with this business of labelling people. And you're right, it's detrimental to human beings. There is another psychological concept that you didn't talk about, but who looks similar to the "self", which is the "personality". What is your take on it, the same or different? Lastly, now in the spiritual domain, is the notion of the soul the same for you than the "self"? Or, in your opinion, could it be a possibility of an essential part of us which links us all to the Spirit, to spirituality? Looking forward to watching the other philosophical videos! David's Response Will include in next Ask David Podcast!   Question 4. Could questions about the “self” and “free will” involve All-or-Nothing Thinking? Matt send me the following email he received and asked if we could include it in our next podcast, and my answer was “of course!” Hi, I'd like to tell you about my experience with my son. He is 14 years old and despite our honest attempts not to label, he has always been the problem child: selfish, disobedient etc. Recently we started him on Prozac and the changes have been incredible. Things that have been way beyond his best times are now simple, like going to sleep on time or having a good time with his brother. Every night my wife and I tell each other about some new miracle. So, I wonder what you can say about this from the lens of free will. An obvious conclusion would be that the choices he made until now were not "free" because his brain was not presenting him with the same set of choices that other kids experience. On the other hand, if he is acting better now, we could say that it is not his choice, just a pill making the decision for him. I feel like that would be insulting and degrading. I wonder if a lot of resistance to therapy and especially pharmacotherapy is related to anxiety about the question: "If I can be changed by a pill, then who am I?" I had another thought after listening to the episode on "self". The position that self doesn't exist seems extreme to me, maybe like "all or nothing thinking". Maybe we could answer that question with a "magic dial". How much do we agree that there are selves and free wills? I agree that there are problems associated with having a self and free will, but I think there are practical and theoretical reasons on the other side as well. Maybe the golden path is in the middle? David's Response:  Will include your excellent question in the next Ask David Podcast! I am so happy to hear the good news about your son! At this point I will briefly say that concerns about “free will” might definitely include all-or-nothing thinking in the following sense. There is an awful lot of our thoughts, beliefs, feelings, behaviors, preferences, and so forth that is kind of hard-wired by evolution, genetics, and who knows what. For example, I really love blueberry pie that way my mother made it, but I never cared for pumpkin pie. I cannot “will” myself to like pumpkin pie! So I don't have free will in that sense. Similarly, I can't “will” myself to want to stop breathing permanently, or to stop feeling hungry when I haven't eaten, and I can't “will” myself to levitate when mediating or being able to high jump over something five feet high. The list goes on and on. And even when I freely chose something, like what type of new shirt to purchase, I have no doubt by genes and innate preferences, and possibly my upbringing, will strongly influence my choices. We all have biases, preferences, and desires that we do not choose, at least not consciously, Like sexual preferences, for example. We're kind of stuck with what we've got. Now we can make free choices, of course, but we cannot be “totally free,” because we exist and are human. A cat can't “not” get excited by a wiggly piece of string or a mouse that's running away. But we CAN make conscious choices, obviously, just as I made the decision to print your excellent question and type out this brief response! Warmly, david

he subject of giving what we think of as "human" medications (such as anti-depressants) to our dogs has come up before on the podcast. But why is it, exactly that some medications- Prozac, for example- work incredibly well across species, while others, such as NSAIDS, don't? Does spaying or neutering your dog at an earlier age have the same effect as sterilization at younger ages in humans? And how are environmental factors affecting the hormones and health of both us and our dogs? Joining Julie and Tina to dig into these topics today is endocrinologist Dr. Mike Morales. Tune in to learn about all this, plus why cortisol is actually your friend and the one fact about the endocrinology system that everybody should know. For show notes and more: Your Family Dog

There's a new $6 billion-dollar industry. Its global market size is expected to increase to $100 billion within the decade. No, it's not a fancy new app or a revolutionary gadget: it's weight-loss drugs. Just a few years ago no one had even heard the word Ozempic. Almost overnight, the drug previously used to treat type 2 diabetes became a household name. Healthcare providers wrote more than 9 million prescriptions for Ozempic and similar drugs in the last three months of 2022 alone. By the end of the decade, 30 million people are predicted to be on it. For comparison, that means that Ozempic is on track to do as well as birth control pills and Prozac—a blockbuster medication.  A little over a year ago we had a fiery debate on Honestly about these revolutionary weight-loss drugs and our cultural understanding of obesity. On one side of the debate, people saw Ozempic as the golden answer we've been searching for. After all, obesity is the second biggest cause of cancer. It causes diabetes, and it's linked to dementia, heart disease, knee and hip problems, arthritis, and high blood pressure, which causes strokes. In short: when you crunch the numbers, drugs like Ozempic seem to be lifesaving. On the other hand was another argument: Why are we putting millions of people on a powerful new drug when we don't know the risks? Plus, isn't this a solution that ignores why we gained so much weight in the first place? In other words: Ozempic is not a cure for obesity; it's a Band-Aid. A year later, all of those questions are still up for debate. Our guest today, journalist Johann Hari, has spent the last year trying to find answers, traveling the world investigating weight-loss drugs, and. . . taking them himself. In his latest book, Magic Pill: The Extraordinary Benefits and Disturbing Risks of the New Weight-Loss Drugs, Johann investigates what we know and what we don't know about how these drugs work, their risks and benefits, how our food system sets us up to fail, and how movements like “fat pride” and “healthy at any size” have completely altered the conversation. So on today's episode: How do these new drugs impact our brains, our guts, and our mood? What are the hidden risks? Are they really a permanent solution to the obesity crisis? Or are they merely a quick fix that do little to address the root causes of obesity? With over 70 percent of Americans today classified as overweight or obese and the average American adult weighing nearly 25 pounds more today than they did in 1960, how did we get here in the first place? And why aren't we addressing that problem, too? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
