In this episode of the Observatory Podcast, Scott and LaRae Wright sit down with Stephen Karafiath and Carrie Cox, two friends in a new relationship who are intentionally building love through secure attachment, emotional honesty, and nervous-system awareness.Together, they explore what it means to “wade through the muck” instead of bypassing discomfort — how trauma can be alchemized, how boundaries create safety, and how a shared relational container allows for co-regulation, depth, and intimacy. This conversation touches on vulnerability, conscious partnership, and the courage required to stay present when things get messy — because that's often where transformation lives. Timestamps[00:00:18] Scott and LaRae introduce Stephen Karafiath and Carrie Cox[00:01:03] A new relationship built on depth, presence, and intention[00:02:45] Referencing the Safe to Love podcast conversation[00:03:44] Growth, humility, and learning to soften[00:04:42] Experiencing secure attachment for the first time[00:06:25] Vulnerability, grief, and emotional safety[00:09:22] Metasound, play, and relational witnessing[00:10:31] Water rituals and nature as grounding allies[00:12:46] “Wading through the muck” and where alchemy happens[00:26:02] Alchemizing inherited shame and childhood beliefs[00:26:21] Letting water and nature help hold what can't be fixed[00:32:45] Polyamory as a doorway into deeper relational conversations[00:34:04] Creating a relationship container that doesn't leak energy[00:40:32] Exploring depth together — even where there might be dragons[00:48:17] A shared nervous system and the power of co-regulation[00:49:29] Boundaries, communication, and relational clarity[00:55:46] Relational pillars: emotional, physical, spiritual, sexual[01:10:04] Closing reflections and gratitudeNoteable Quotes “From secure attachment, for what feels like the first time in my life.” – Carrie Cox [04:42]“I love to wade through the muck because I know that's where the alchemy occurs.” – Carrie Cox [12:46]“Setting a container around our relationship that's bigger than both of us, and not leaking any energy outside of it.” – Stephen Karafiath [34:04]“We can go right back down to the depths — you're not afraid to explore coves that might have dragons.” – Stephen Karafiath [40:32]“We've created this shared nervous system, and the benefit is co-regulation.” – Carrie Cox [48:17] Relevant links:Stephen InstagramCarrie's InstagramSubscribe to the podcast: Apple PodcastProduced by NC Productions

“Climate change is the biggest health threat of our century, so we need to train clinicians for a future where it will alter disease patterns, the demand on health systems, and how care is delivered,” says Dr. Sandro Demaio, director of the WHO Asia-Pacific Centre for Environment and Health, underscoring the stakes behind the organization's first regionally-focused climate and health strategy. The five-year plan Dr. Demaio is leading aims to help governments in 38 countries with 2.2 billion people manage rising heat, extreme weather, sea-level change, air pollution and food insecurity by adapting health systems, protecting vulnerable populations, and reducing emissions from the healthcare sector itself. In this timely interview with Raise the Line host Michael Carrese, Dr. Demaio draws on his experiences in emergency medicine, global public health, pandemic response and climate policy to argue for an interconnected approach to strengthening systems and preparing a healthcare workforce to meet the heath impacts of growing environmental challenges. This is a great opportunity to learn how climate change is reshaping medicine, public health and the future of care delivery.  Mentioned in this episode: WHO Asia-Pacific Centre for Environment and Health If you like this podcast, please share it on your social channels.

What if psychedelics could transform the way we treat trauma, chronic pain, and insomnia? This week, neuroscientist and psychedelic researcher Grace Blest-Hopley joins the show to break down the research on psychedelics and female biology. She discusses how psychedelics work in the brain, and the ways that psychedelic-assisted therapies might be beneficial for women in midlife.

In this inaugural roundtable discussion, I dive headfirst into one of the most contentious topics at the intersection of faith and science: psychedelics and Christianity. As a relatively new Christian myself, I've been wrestling with what believers should think about these powerful substances—especially after interviewing guests whose lives were transformed by psychedelic experiences, including detransitioners who credit these substances with helping them see through lies they'd built their lives upon.I've gathered four fascinating voices for this conversation, each bringing unique expertise and perspectives. Louie Locke, a pastor of 26 years from Reno, Nevada, rates himself a one out of ten—firmly opposed to psychedelic use from a Christian perspective. He explains his concerns about entering the "second heaven" or spirit realm through means other than Jesus, warning of spiritual doors that may be opened through such substances.Cameron English, a science journalist and director of biosciences at the American Council on Science and Health, brings skepticism from both scientific and theological angles, noting the poor quality of research and drawing parallels to problematic harm reduction movements.Daniel Elliot, an Air Force veteran and counselor who has conducted research on psilocybin and spiritual wellbeing, offers a cautious middle ground as a five, distinguishing between natural substances like psilocybin and synthetic ones like MDMA.Dr. Liza Lockwood, an emergency medicine physician and medical toxicologist, presents the highest rating at seven, explaining her interest in the therapeutic potential for treating refractory depression while sharing the fascinating history of ergot poisoning from the Salem Witch Trials to the discovery of LSD.Together we explore the Greek concept of pharmakeia, whether psychedelics might be connected to the tree of knowledge of good and evil, what harm reduction really means in practice, and whether Christians should be involved in psychedelic-assisted therapy settings. This is just the first in a series exploring these questions—questions that don't have easy answers but deserve thoughtful Christian engagement.Books mentioned:-Imagine Heaven and Imagine The God of Heaven by John Burke-The Great Divorce by C.S.

Because he was promised an island.Sound familiar?“Work hard and you'll make partner.”“Grind now, equity later.”“We're a family here - your loyalty will be rewarded.”“Be your own boss - unlimited earning potential.”We're all Sancho Panza now. Following someone else's quest, enduring the chaos, waiting for an island that might never come - or worse, comes in a form we never actually wanted.This episode explores what happens when the everyman follows the madman's promise. What Cervantes understood about gig economy exploitation 400 years before Uber existed. And why Sancho's choice at the end might be the most radical thing you hear all year.Part 2 of “The Wisdom of Don Quixote” series.

And he told them an impossible story:“I was in an enchanted palace. For three days. I met legendary knights. I saw magical maidens. I witnessed wonders I can barely describe.”Sancho looked at him. “Master, you were down there for an hour. Maybe less.”Don Quixote's voice wavered. For the first time in the entire novel, he seemed… uncertain.“I know what I saw,” he said. Then, quieter: “God knows the truth.”This is the Cave of Montesinos. The most mysterious, psychologically complex scene in all of Don Quixote.And it asks the question every visionary, creator, entrepreneur, and dreamer faces:How do you know if what you saw in the dark was real… or if you just made it all up?I've had 860 conversations on this podcast. And I keep coming back with the same vision: I see genius in people that the world doesn't validate. I see systems rigged against passion. I see the fight itself as what keeps us alive.But what if I'm just Don Quixote in the cave? What if I descended into the darkness with my own expectations and came back up with a beautiful story that isn't real?What if your calling is just a dream you had in the dark?What if the business idea that won't leave you alone is delusion dressed as vision?What if the injustice you see so clearly is just confirmation bias?You'll never know for sure.And that's the point.This episode is about what Don Quixote learned in that cave: Certainty is madness. Doubt is wisdom. And acting on your vision despite the doubt—that's the only courage that matters.“Time will tell,” Don Quixote said when asked if his vision was real.That's all any of us can say.

In this encore episode of the Psychedelic Medicine Podcast, psychedelic science researcher and educator Dr. Manesh Girn discusses his studies investigating psychedelic brain action. Manesh earned PhD in neuroscience at McGill University and is an author on over a dozen peer-reviewed articles on psychedelics and related topics. He is also chief research officer at EntheoTech Bioscience and runs the YouTube channel the Psychedelic Scientist.  In this conversation, Manesh discusses his recent article in Trends in Cognitive Sciences titled "A complex systems perspective on psychedelic brain action."He explains the complexity science approach used in the article, which emphasizes the brain is a holistic, interconnected system, rather than individual component networks that can be isolated. From this standpoint, Manesh critiques some simplistic explanations of the neural mechanisms of psychedelics which focus exclusively on interactions with the default mode network isolated from other brain systems. He also explains how individual some of the neural effects of psychedelics are, citing different findings from different studies and observed variations between brain scans of different people. By better understanding these individual differences, and placing these different responses into a complexity science framework, Manesh believes that more individually-tailored psychedelic therapies are possible once the systems involved are more comprehensively understood.  Manesh closes this discussion by explaining the difference between genuine complexity and sheer chaos.  Complexity, he explains, is a delicate balance of novelty and order, which is why psychedelic experiences can be both destabilizing and productive of novel insights and personal transformation.    In this episode: The research into psychedelics and the default mode network Using frameworks from complexity science in psychedelic research Measuring entropy in the brain Differences in neurological effects from taking between different studies and different individuals How a complexity science approach to neuroscience could better inform precision psychiatry   Quotes: "You can't just look at a specific brain region or network [in psychedelic research], you've gotta talk about the brain as a whole, in this sense of seeing the brain as a system of interacting parts." [4:49] "The core idea of this paper is that psychedelics put our brain into this state that is more dynamically flexible, it's more diverse in its activity patterns, and it's more sensitive to inputs that come in." [14:17] "What we find in the brain imaging findings is that different studies disagree, but also if you look at individual people, they can have radically different effects on their brain—almost opposite."

Oregon became the first in the nation to legalize psychedelic therapy through psilocybin back in 2020. What soon followed were bans in various jurisdictions, large costs for individuals seeking treatment and other barriers to access. Now, new reporting from The New York Times found that a third of psilocybin service centers have closed and other states have also begun offering this therapy, including Colorado and New Mexico. Andrew Jacobs is a health and science reporter for the NYT. He joins us to share more on where things stand in Oregon’s program and what other states have learned from the state’s first-in-the-nation rollout. 

Revisiting this episode of The Observatory, in a time when it is much needed in our country, Scott and LaRae discuss the profound concept of healing, exploring what it truly means, emphasizing why we crucially need healing, and guiding us through the transformative journey to achieve inner healing. Hear why the healing journey is so personal, how your belief system impacts it, and the things in your life that can ignite it.

We have a special episode of Raise the Line on tap today featuring the debut of host Dr. Parsa Mohri, who will now be leading our NextGen Journeys series that highlights the fresh perspectives of learners and early career healthcare professionals around the world on education, medicine, and the future of care. Parsa was himself a NextGen guest in 2024 as a medical student at Acibadem University in Turkey. He's now a general physician working in the Adult Palliative Care Department at Şişli Etfal Research and Training Hospital in Istanbul.  Luckily for us, he's also continuing in his role as a Regional Lead for the Osmosis Health Leadership Initiative (OHLI). For his first guest, Parsa reached out to a former colleague in the Osmosis family, Negeen Farsio, who worked with him as a member of OHLI's predecessor organization, the Osmosis Medical Education Fellowship. Negeen is now a graduate student in medical anthropology at Brunel University of London, a degree which she hopes will inform her future work as a clinician. “Medical anthropology is a field that looks at healthcare systems and how human culture shapes the way we view different illnesses, diseases, and treatments and helps you to see the full picture of each patient.” You are sure to enjoy this heartfelt conversation on how Negeen's lived experience as a patient and caregiver have shaped her commitment to mental health and patient advocacy, and how she hopes to marry humanity with medicine in a world that yearns to heal.

Gabe Charalambides is the founder of Odyssey, the world's leading provider of psilocybin-assisted therapy, and a Stanford-trained aerospace engineer whose personal experience with anxiety helped shape a mission: making psychedelic healing safer, more responsible, and more accessible to everyday people. After years working alongside leading psychedelic organizations, Gabe launched Odyssey in 2023 and helped open the first legal psilocybin retreat in the U.S., rooted in screening, preparation, and evidence-based support.In this conversation, we explore what psilocybin therapy can look like when done responsibly—why education, intention-setting, and integration matter as much as the ceremony itself. Gabe explains how psilocybin may reduce mental rigidity, increase psychological flexibility, and help people move through trauma, rumination, and fear—especially the existential distress that can come with a cancer diagnosis. We also break down what a guided experience typically involves (screening, preparation sessions, a full-day facilitated journey, and post-session integration), what outcomes Odyssey is tracking through an IRB-approved study, and why many participants describe their experience as one of the most meaningful of their lives.If you've been curious about psychedelics but unsure what “safe” really means—or you're navigating chronic illness, anxiety, or trauma and looking for new tools—this episode offers a grounded, practical look at what's real, what's promising, and what to consider before taking the next step.

Join host [Your Name] in the premiere episode of [Podcast Name], “The Knight of the Sorrowful Algorithm,” as we embark on a quixotic quest through Cervantes' masterpiece—a story of a man whose brain “dried up” from devouring too many fantastical romances, only to armor up and charge into a reality that mocked his dreams.But this isn't just dusty literature. It's us. Right now. Scrolling through endless feeds of AI doomsayers and saviors: “Your job is obsolete!” “Embrace the disruption!” “AGI will save—or end—humanity!” We're all Don Quixote, lost in a whirlwind of narratives that blur truth and fiction, leaving us paralyzed by questions: Is adaptation surrender? Is optimism naivety?

New research is transforming the outlook for cervical and uterine cancers -- two of the most serious gynecologic malignancies worldwide – and we'll be hearing from one of the people shaping that progress, Dr. Mary McCormack, on this episode of Raise the Line. From her perch as the senior clinical oncologist for gynecological cancer at University College London Hospitals, Dr. McCormack has been a driving force in clinical research in the field, most notably as leader of the influential INTERLACE study, which changed global practice in the treatment of locally advanced cervical cancer, a key reason she was named to Time Magazine's 2025 list of the 100 most influential people in health. “In general, the protocol has been well received and it was adopted into the National Comprehensive Cancer Network guidelines which is a really big deal because lots of centers, particularly in South and Central America and Southeast Asia, follow the NCCN's lead.”In this conversation with host Michael Carrese, you'll learn about how Dr. McCormack overcame recruitment and funding challenges, the need for greater access to and affordability of treatments, and what lies ahead for women's cancer treatment worldwide. Mentioned in this episode:INTERLACE Cervical Cancer Trial If you like this podcast, please share it on your social channels.

Are you doing all the "right things" for your menopause symptoms—hormone therapy, nutrition, exercise, stress management—but still not feeling like yourself? In this episode of Pleasure in the Pause, host Gabriela Espinosa welcomes back licensed psychotherapist Ashley Turner for a groundbreaking conversation about psychedelic-assisted therapy and microdosing as complementary support during the menopause transition.Ashley Turner is a licensed marriage and family psychotherapist, yoga/meditation teacher, and founder of Yoga Psyche Soul, specializing in integrating Eastern spiritual practices with Western psychology (depth, shadow, and somatic psychology, women's mental health) for 25 years. After her own intense menopausal mental health struggles (depression, anxiety, confidence loss, cognitive issues), Ashley explored psychedelic-assisted therapy and psilocybin microdosing. She is completing her psychedelic-assisted therapy certification through the Integrated Psychiatry Institute in Boulder, focusing on psilocybin, ketamine, and MDMA. Ashley created the six-month Metamorphosis program for menopause and recently launched The Portal, a 12-week microdosing and menopause group therapy program with Golden Rule.Highlights from our discussion include:Menopause is a developmental phase, not just a medical event. Mental health symptoms during menopause can persist even with optimal lifestyle interventions.Psilocybin microdosing creates neuroplasticity and can act as a natural mood stabilizer.Psychedelic-assisted therapy is different from microdosing on your own. "No pills without skills" applies to all interventions, including psychedelics.This week, get curious: educate yourself by watching Ashley's masterclass on Microdosing and Menopause, read one of the books she mentioned (Mycelio-Pause or The Psilocybin Guidebook for Women), or simply journal about what you're experiencing emotionally and psychologically beyond the physical symptoms. Remember, you deserve all the tools available to thrive—not just survive—this transition.CONNECT WITH ASHLEY TURNER:InstagramWork with Ashley! CONNECT WITH GABRIELLA ESPINOSA:InstagramLinkedInWork with Gabriella! Resources Mentioned:Mycelio-Pause: Using Mushrooms in the Menopausal TransitionThe Psilocybin Guidebook for Women by Jennifer ChesakAndrew Huberman's podcast on psilocybin and neuroscienceGolden Rule (female-owned psilocybin microdosing company based in Colorado)UK study on microdosing and menopauseBrian Johnson's live-streamed psilocybin macro dose journeyGo to https://www.gabriellaespinosa.com/ to book a call.Full episodes on YouTube.

In this episode of The Observatory Podcast, hosts Scott and LaRae Wright sit down with Bobby Ahlander for an expansive and deeply human conversation about suffering, healing, and what it means to truly come home to yourself. Bobby shares his journey growing up in a rigid religious environment marked by instability and fear, living much of his adult life on “autopilot,” and eventually reaching a breaking point that included leaving the Church, divorce, job loss, and a prolonged season of depression with suicidal ideation.Through therapy, psychiatry, EMDR, Buddhist study, and eventually plant medicine, Bobby describes the slow and nonlinear rebuilding of his inner world. He introduces a personal “numbers” framework that helped him track emotional states — from survival, to “fine,” to happiness, joy, bliss, and ultimately a state he later names cosmic union. At the heart of this conversation is the embodied realization that arrived not through force or fixing, but through surrender: peace feels good.Timestamps [01:10] Introducing Bobby Ahlander and the theme “peace feels good”[04:05] Childhood in a conservative religious home marked by instability[08:45] Learning invisibility, safety, and survival as a child[14:55] Living adulthood on “autopilot” and inherited identity scripts[20:15] Becoming a bishop and the weight of enforcing institutional rules[25:35] LGBTQ+ policy conflict and values colliding with authority[31:50] Leaving the Church, divorce, and relocation all at once[36:40] Wiping the slate clean and questioning every belief[41:05] First acts of autonomy and reclaiming personal choice[46:00] Discovering Buddhism and non-dual thinking[51:40] First psilocybin experience and expanded awareness[58:45] COVID, job loss, unhealthy relationship, and emotional collapse[01:05:40] Suicidal ideation and surviving for his children[01:12:30] Therapy, medication, and the “numbers” emotional scale[01:20:10] Ayahuasca: opening a door that never closes[01:27:30] Integration, healing, and learning to live at “fine”[01:33:40] Oregon coast turning point and happiness returning[01:38:10] Discovering joy, bliss, and something beyond the scale[01:41:00] Embodied peace, “peace feels good,” and what comes next[01:41:58] Closing message and listener invitationNotable Quotes“You have just opened a door that can never close again.” — Scott Webb (quoted by Bobby Ahlander) [00:36:08]“I don't want to die, but I don't want to be alive.” — Bobby Ahlander [00:31:58]“The whole choice to awake puts you on a path.” — Scott Wright [01:13:33]“So we honor you for being there and being able to express that.” — LaRae Wright [01:29:42]“The cost of the new is the old.” — Scott Wright [01:32:36]“Turbulence is just a reminder you're flying.” — Bobby Ahlander [01:34:42]“You will continue to suffer until you've learned the lesson that the suffering is trying to teach you.” — Bobby Ahlander [01:38:18]“This is peace.” — Bobby Ahlander [01:23:57]“Peace feels good.” — Bobby Ahlander [01:25:01]Relevant LinksBobby's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/bobbyahlander/Subscribe to the podcast: Apple Podcasts

“The world is a very volatile place, with currently 110 conflicts globally, and yet healthcare staff in the hospitals, even here in London, are not prepared to be the only clinician who can help in a crisis or hostile setting,” says Dr. David Gough, CEO of the David Nott Foundation, which equips providers with the skills and confidence needed to function in war and other extraordinary situations. A former British Army doctor injured in Afghanistan, Gough brings lived experience as well as a background in tech to his current role at the Foundation, which itself is anchored in decades of field work amassed by its namesake, a renowned war surgeon. As Dr. Gough points out to host Lindsey Smith, the cause could be helped by augmenting medical school curricula, but in the meantime, the Foundation is filling the knowledge gap by using prosthetics, virtual reality simulations and cadavers to train a broad swath of health workers including surgeons, anesthetists, and obstetricians. Tune in to this important Raise the Line conversation as Dr. Gough reflects on the strengths and weaknesses of NGOs in doing this work, his plans to expand the Foundation's footprint in the US, and the gratifying feedback he's received from trainees now operating on the frontlines in Ukraine and elsewhere. Mentioned in this episode:David Nott Foundation If you like this podcast, please share it on your social channels.

Psilocybin is neurologically proven to unwire years of bad habits, enhancing focus, emotional control, and mental clarity. Society has intentionally hidden the truth about how this powerful compound can optimize your mind and body, but that changes now. In episode 847 of the Savage Perspective Podcast, host Robert Sikes sits down with Adam Schell, a former cannabis industry insider who now dedicates his life to psilocybin. Adam shares his incredible story, from a life altering psychedelic experience to losing millions and rebuilding. He explains the real science behind how microdosing psilocybin improves brain function, helps manage trauma, and promotes spiritual growth. They discuss the difference between a microdose and a hero dose, who is a good candidate for each, and why these substances are far safer and more beneficial than alcohol. This conversation reveals how you can use this tool to improve your health and become a more effective human being.If you are ready to apply this same level of optimization to your physique, join Robert's FREE Bodybuilding Masterclass to learn the proven system for building muscle and achieving your fitness goals. https://www.ketobodybuilding.com/registration-2Code "SAVAGE" to save 15% off Adam's Site BrainSupremeGet Keto Brick: https://www.ketobrick.com/Subscribe to the podcast: https://open.spotify.com/show/42cjJssghqD01bdWBxRYEg?si=1XYKmPXmR4eKw2O9gGCEuQChapters:0:00 - Microdosing vs. Hero Dose: What's The Difference? 1:10 - The Philosophy of Building an Authentic Business 3:35 - How My First Psychedelic Trip Changed My Life Forever 6:00 - An Unforgettable Encounter With a Traumatized Veteran 8:29 - Why I Left The Cannabis Industry For Psychedelics 10:34 - The "Glorious Mutation" That Created Our Unique Strain 11:10 - A Beginner's Guide to Psilocybin Doses 13:20 - The Realistic Expectations for Microdosing 16:02 - Who Should Consider a "Heroic Dose" of Psychedelics? 18:04 - The Science of What Psilocybin Actually Does to Your Brain 19:54 - "Vertical" vs. "Horizontal" Psychedelics (Mushrooms vs. LSD/DMT) 22:12 - How a Hero Dose "Turns On The Lights" in Your Mind 24:39 - How Psychedelics Define My View of God & Religion 27:01 - Unlocking The "Ethereal Mycelium Network" 28:33 - Does Psychedelic Use Align with Organized Religion? 30:39 - Why I Can No Longer Support My "Home Team" 33:44 - I Lost $6.5 Million and Almost Got Myself Killed 36:10 - My Stance on Cannabis After Leaving The Industry 38:20 - My Book Deal Imploded, The Housing Crisis & Michael Jackson 41:45 - The Critical Difference Between Weed and Mushrooms 44:12 - The Downsides of Weed vs. Psilocybin 47:32 - Is It Possible to Get "Stuck" in a Bad Trip? 50:16 - Is Using Psychedelics for Growth "Cheating"? 53:04 - The Ancient & Mystical History of Psychedelics 55:25 - Why There Is a Stigma Against Psychedelics 58:05 - A Breakdown of Our Life-Optimizing Formulas 1:01:21 - How to Find Your Perfect Microdosing Protocol 1:05:33 - Does The Effect of Microdosing Wear Off? 1:08:32 - What Makes Our Brand Different From The Rest? 1:10:33 - Our Unrivaled Approach to Customer Service 1:14:24 - Where to Find More Information & A Discount Code

My guest today did some significant healing at a psilocybin ceremony at a retreat center in Mexico. She takes us there and explains why she was able to heal in that environment in ways she hadn't before. You'll also hear how and why she does psychedelic work as a therapist. Dr. Cheryl Tien, PsyD, is a licensed clinical psychologist who helps individuals navigate grief, identity, and life transitions with a culturally attuned, trauma-informed approach. She specializes in psychedelic integration—supporting clients in making meaning of experiences with medicines like MDMA and psilocybin in a grounded, evidence-based way. Her work centers on safety, ethics, and translating profound experiences into sustainable change in everyday life. Here's some of what we talked about: Deciding to get licensed, and the pros and cons of that as a psychedelic facilitator Advocating for psychedelic medicine accessibility Grieving the loss of a former client to suicide Getting racially assaulted Having fears, visuals and nightmares as a result of stressful events Hitting the limits of talk therapy in her own healing Choosing to attend a psilocybin ceremony retreat in Mexico Why the medicine is 10% of the experience Her internal experience during the ceremony Doing a sweat lodge the following day How she decides when to do a psychedelic journey and what medicine she needs Being "spiritually hopeful" Her advice to people new to psychedelics healing generational trauma Show notes at https://rebeltherapist.me/podcast/254

From pharmaceuticals that hook you for life to hyper-palatable foods and addictive apps, Monty reveals how “customer lifetime value” is just code for human farming, where independence is eroded for perpetual profit.  Monty dives deep into real-world examples: Purdue Pharma's deliberate strategies to create dependence with OxyContin, as uncovered in internal documents  ; Eli Lilly's knowledge of Prozac's permanent neurochemical changes and severe discontinuation syndrome since 1984  ; and the infamous 2018 Goldman Sachs report questioning if “curing patients” is a sustainable business model, favoring chronic treatments instead.   He also uncovers the DSM-5's expansion of mental disorders in 2010, influenced by pharmaceutical ties  ; AstraZeneca's proton pump inhibitors creating “annuity patients” through long-term use  ; and Meta's (Facebook's) 2021 leaked memo admitting Instagram worsens body image issues for 32% of teen girls to keep users hooked.  Beyond drugs, Monty explores food engineering at Frito-Lay, where flavors are lab-designed to mimic cocaine-like dopamine hits  ; Meta's 2017 internal tactics using variable rewards to ensure users return compulsively ; and the shift to subscription models in software and finance that make opting out impossible.This episode challenges listeners to audit their dependencies—medications, apps, subscriptions—and reclaim autonomy.

According to a recent episode of the True Life Podcast, these feelings may be influenced by infrasound, a frequency below human hearing that significantly impacts our bodies and emotions. In this blog post, we will explore the fascinating world of infrasound, its historical significance, and its modern implications.Understanding Infrasound: Infrasound refers to sound waves that are below the frequency of 20 Hertz, which are inaudible to the human ear but can still have profound effects on our bodies. The podcast host, George, invites listeners to pause and feel their heartbeats, revealing that what we perceive as our heartbeat is intertwined with infrasound vibrations echoing throughout our bodies. This frequency has been weaponized throughout history, from ancient civilizations to modern technology.Historical Context: George highlights the ancient Mayans, who ingeniously utilized infrasound in the design of their pyramids at Chichen Itza. The low claps created resonant echoes that could evoke feelings of trance or terror during sacred rituals. This historical context shows that the manipulation of sound has long been a tool for influencing human behavior and perception.Modern Manipulation: Fast forward to the present, and the implications of infrasound are pervasive. George discusses how theme parks like Disney incorporate low-frequency sounds into roller coasters to enhance the thrill experience. Similarly, military operations have used infrasound to disrupt morale among troops, demonstrating the power of sound as a psychological weapon.The Role of Technology: Today, technology continues to exploit infrasound. George mentions the deployment of 5G towers, which emit sub-audible frequencies that can lead to increased anxiety in populated areas. Furthermore, he reveals a leaked DARPA document suggesting that infrasound could be used to instill social harmony by dulling aggressive behavior during riots. This shows a disturbing trend of using sound as a means of control.Practical Implications: So, what can we do to reclaim our senses from these hidden frequencies? George suggests listeners take proactive steps to engage with their own vibrational energy. He encourages trying a free 10 Hertz tone app to experience the power of infrasound firsthand. By tuning into these frequencies, individuals can foster a sense of awakening and empowerment, pushing back against the unseen forces that seek to influence their emotions.Conclusion: The exploration of infrasound reveals a hidden layer of reality that many of us are oblivious to. From historical rituals to modern technology, the impact of these low-frequency waves is undeniable. As we become more aware of the forces shaping our emotions and behaviors, we can take control of our experiences and reclaim our vibrational sovereignty. Remember, true awakening doesn't whisper; it quakes.Key Takeaways:  1. Infrasound affects our emotions and physical sensations despite being inaudible.  2. Historical use of infrasound, as seen in ancient Mayan architecture, illustrates its long-standing influence on human behavior.  3. Modern technology, including 5G, utilizes infrasound for psychological effects, often without public knowledge.  4. Engaging with sound can empower individuals to reclaim their emotional state and resist external influences.

This blog post delves into the insights from a thought-provoking podcast that reveals how our daily lives are engineered to keep us both useful and docile, turning our attention into a commodity for profit.Main Content:Understanding the Predators: The podcast opens with a stark reminder that civilization, as we know it, often functions like a predator, hunting for our attention and compliance. The host highlights how algorithms are meticulously designed to understand our behaviors, keeping us in a perpetual state of distraction and dependence. For instance, Netflix has invested years in perfecting its interface to ensure that users experience dopamine spikes with each autoplayed episode, replacing genuine thought with mindless consumption.The Illusion of Choice: We often believe we are making conscious choices, but the reality is that many of our actions are influenced by external forces. The host points to the example of recycling, where companies like Amazon rebrand waste to make consumers feel virtuous while continuing harmful practices. This manipulation extends to our wellness apps, which, while promising inner peace, actually profit from our personal data, affecting our financial well-being through increased insurance premiums based on our stress patterns.The Theater of Revolt: In a society where outrage is a currency, the podcast discusses how many protests and acts of rebellion are mere performances. Influencers tweet about social injustices while benefiting from the very systems they criticize. This hypocrisy serves as a distraction, keeping us engaged but ultimately powerless against the predictability that corporations seek in our behavior.Redefining Freedom: Real freedom, as the podcast suggests, comes from recognizing the systems that seek to control us. It requires us to embrace sovereignty and the courage to walk alone when necessary. The host challenges listeners to reflect on their dependencies: if familiar comforts vanished overnight, would we be lost or liberated? This introspection is crucial for understanding what truly defines our identities.Finding Your Guideposts: The podcast encourages listeners to confront their fears, anxieties, and guilt—not as enemies, but as guideposts that reveal where external pressures are strongest. The emotions we often suppress are indicators of the predators lurking within our minds. By acknowledging these feelings, we can begin to dismantle the control they have over us.Conclusion: The journey toward true freedom involves sharpening our attention and reclaiming our autonomy from the societal predators that seek to manipulate us. By recognizing and addressing our dependencies, we can emerge more authentic and empowered. As we reset our perspectives tomorrow, let us focus on honing our awareness, one step at a time.Key Takeaways:- Civilization often acts as a predator, manipulating our attention for profit.- Many choices we believe are ours are influenced by external forces.- True freedom requires recognizing and confronting the systems of control.- Emotions like fear and guilt can guide us toward reclaiming our sovereignty.Tags: Modern Civilization, Freedom, Personal Growth, Technology Manipulation, Awareness, Authenticity, Societal Control, Emotional Intelligence.

TPN.Health isn't just another directory or referral platform—it's a clinician-led operating system designed to dissolve administrative burdens, deliver free high-quality continuing education, enable human-led care navigation, and ensure providers are paid fairly and quickly.Trevor pulls no punches: he exposes the lack of transparency, the ghost networks sold by insurers, the distrust earned by years of broken promises, and why behavioral health has struggled to demonstrate clear value—to patients, providers, and payers alike.But this isn't a complaint session. It's a blueprint for real change.From paying providers their full cash rate with no cut taken, to tracking outcomes at scale, to building true clinical matches based on expertise, cultural competency, and care alliance—TPN.Health is creating the digital infrastructure the entire behavioral health ecosystem is starting to depend on.If you're a clinician feeling burned out by bureaucracy, a patient frustrated by access, or anyone who believes mental health care should work as well as physical health care—this episode is a must-listen.Join the movement at tpn.health.https://tpn.health/#MentalHealth #BehavioralHealth #HealthcareReform #ClinicianLed #TPNHealth One on One Video call W/George https://tidycal.com/georgepmonty/60-minute-meetingSupport the show:https://www.paypal.me/Truelifepodcast?locale.x=en_US

Drawing from a decade of research across finance, philosophy, game theory, and systems design, Remzi breaks down:•  How modern banking actually works (and why banks are privileged debt creators)•  The hidden truths about government “debt” and infinite money creation•  Why capitalism, socialism, and communism all fail at the same foundational level: pre-distributing Earth's commons to a privileged few•  The core principles of Creditism: unconditional income, activity-based credit creation, democratic bonus metrics for production, and currency deletion upon spending•  The planetary membership project IU (“life” in Sanskrit) — a decentralized network launching soon to co-create digital tools for governance, record-keeping, and a new infinite gameThis episode challenges everything you thought you knew about money, power, and possibility. If we're going to solve the metacrisis — ecological collapse, inequality, endless conflict — we need a fundamental evolution in how value is created and distributed.Remzi and his team are going public now: Substack launching tomorrow, YouTube in January, and the IU app in early 2026.Join the conversation.

They're training us.The system no longer needs chains. It only needs your applause for compliance.True strength doesn't announce itself. It doesn't seek likes, hashtags, or approval.

“People are not looking for a perfect, polished answer. They're looking for a human to speak to them like a human,” says Jessica Malaty Rivera, an infectious disease epidemiologist and one of the most trusted science communicators in the U.S. to emerge from the COVID-19 pandemic. That philosophy explains her relatable, judgement-free approach to communications which aims to make science more human, more accessible and less institutional. In this wide-ranging Raise the Line discussion, host Lindsey Smith taps Rivera's expertise on how to elevate science understanding, build public trust, and equip people to recognize disinformation. She is also keen to help people understand the nuances of misinformation -- which she is careful to define – and the emotional drivers behind it in order to contain the “infodemics” that complicate battling epidemics and other public health threats. It's a thoughtful call to educate the general public about the science of information as well as the science behind medicine. Tune in for Rivera's take on the promise and peril of AI-generated content, why clinicians should see communication as part of their professional responsibility, and how to prepare children to navigate an increasingly complex information ecosystem.Mentioned in this episode:de Beaumont Foundation If you like this podcast, please share it on your social channels.

In this episode, Alicia Bigelow, ND joins to discuss the potential of psychedelic medicine to support the menopause transition. Dr. Ali Bigelow is a naturopathic physician, ketamine provider and licensed psilocybin facilitator in Portland, OR. She leads individual and group retreats, enjoys incorporating live music into her sessions when desired, and is passionate about supporting those navigating life transitions, such as end of life and menopause, through her low dose group, Menomorphosis. Dr. Bigelow will be doing retreats in 2026 with Rise Up Journeys at RiseUpJourneys.com In this conversation, Dr. Bigelow explores the emerging intersection between psychedelics and the menopausal transition, framing perimenopause and menopause as profound neuroendocrine, psychological, and existential shifts rather than merely clinical syndromes. She also discusses how hormonal changes—particularly declining estrogen—interact with serotonin, inflammation, and neuroplasticity, potentially shaping psychedelic experiences and outcomes. Throughout the discussion, Dr. Bigelow emphasizes the unique capacity of psychedelics to support self-actualization, identity reformation, and meaning-making during midlife, especially when combined with hormone therapy, intentional integration practices, and strong community support.   In this episode, you'll hear: Why perimenopause and menopause represent a major but under-recognized neurobiological life transition How estrogen, serotonin receptors, and psychedelics like psilocybin may interact in midlife What we know (and don't yet know) about hormone replacement therapy and psychedelic efficacy The potential anti-inflammatory effects of psychedelics and their relevance to menopausal symptoms How ketamine may function differently from classic psychedelics during hormonal transitions Why psychedelics can support identity reorientation, self-actualization, and "not caring" in generative ways The critical role of community, creativity, and nervous system regulation in integration during midlife   Quotes: "We don't honor and celebrate aging and elderhood overall in our culture. … What I do feel is really vital is that we gather and support each other in all of life's transitions, and [menopause has] not only been underrepresented, but also just under honored." [3:29] "As [estrogen] levels decrease, there's a decrease in serotonin receptors—which is the 5-HT2A receptor. And so that reduces our sensitivity to, and activity of serotonin. And psilocybin and LSD and other 5-HT2A agonists—they can enhance their receptors and the activity of those receptors." [13:20] "The understanding is that with [estrogen] hormone replacement therapy you would then, theoretically, see a replenishment of [serotonin] receptors, and then the psilocybin would have more ability to act on those receptors." [15:37] "Psilocybin—and psychedelics in general—and the menopausal transition are just really beautiful complements to each other and they become even more potent when used together."

This week on Health Matters, we're sharing an episode of NewYork-Presbyterian's Advances in Care, a show for listeners who want to stay at the forefront of the latest medical innovations and research. On this episode of Advances in Care, host Erin Welsh first hears from Dr. Richard Friedman, a clinical psychiatrist at NewYork-Presbyterian and Director of the Psychopharmacology Clinic at Weill Cornell Medicine. Using his background in psychopharmacology, Dr. Friedman distinguishes between psychedelics and standard antidepressants like SSRIs and SNRIs, explaining the various mechanisms in the brain that respond uniquely to psychedelic compounds. Dr. Friedman also identifies that the challenge of proving efficacy of psychedelic therapy lies in the question of how to design a clinical trial that gives patients a convincing placebo. To learn more about the challenges of trial design, Erin also speaks to Dr. David Hellerstein, a research psychiatrist at NewYork-Presbyterian and Columbia. Dr. Hellerstein contributed to a 2022 trial of synthetic psilocybin in patients with treatment resistant depression. He and his colleagues took a unique approach to dosing patients so that they could better understand the response rates of patients who use psychedelic therapy. The results of that trial underscore an emerging pattern in the field of psychiatry – that while psychedelic therapy has its risks, it's also a promising alternative treatment for countless psychiatric disorders. Dr. Hellerstein also shares more about the future of clinical research on psychedelic therapies to potentially treat a range of mental health disorders.***Dr. Richard Friedman is a professor of clinical psychiatry and is actively involved in clinical research of mood disorders. In particular, he is involved in several ongoing randomized clinical trials of both approved and investigational drugs for the treatment of major depression, chronic depression, and dysthymia.Dr. David J. Hellerstein directs the Depression Evaluation Service at Columbia University Department of Psychiatry, which conducts studies on the medication and psychotherapy treatment of conditions including major depression, chronic depression, and bipolar disorder.___Health Matters is your weekly dose of health and wellness information, from the leading experts.
