Part memoir, part science writing, part history, and a lot of blaming her neighbor for her empties. Drink Your Way Sober: The Science-Based Method to Break Free from Alcohol By: Katie Herzog Published: 2025 208 Pages Briefly, what is this book about? You may be familiar with Katie Herzog from Blocked and Reported, the podcast she hosts with Jesse Singal. Or you might have seen her byline on the Free Press. What I didn't know (at least before she started promoting this book) is that she's also a recovering alcoholic. I also didn't know about the Sinclair Method for "extinguishing" alcohol use disorder (AUD). Finally I didn't know that we are now calling it alcohol use disorder. So you could say this is a book about a bunch of things I didn't know. What's the author's angle? Herzog failed to get her drinking under control using any of the more common methods. Willpower, Alcoholics Anonymous (AA), overwhelming shame, etc. The Sinclair Method was what finally worked for her. This method involves taking naltrexone before you drink. This blocks the reward circuit allowing you to train your body out of alcohol dependence. It's also something that not a lot of people have heard about, so her angle resembles that of a fiery recent convert, who believes that people trapped in similar despair need to hear the good word. Who should read this book? As someone who's never had a drink, I'm loath to recommend anything in the sobriety space. In the same manner that a fish doesn't know about water, can I have anything meaningful to say about sobriety? That very large caveat aside, if you have AUD, and nothing else has worked, and you haven't tried the Sinclair Method (or if you know someone who fits this category) I would definitely recommend this book. If you're thinking of reading it just as Herzog memoir, there's some pretty good stuff in here, but not enough to justify reading the entire book. But if you're on the fence I would push you towards getting the book. Specific thoughts: So why isn't the Sinclair Method better known?

Ukraine Conflict: French Arms Deal, Sabotage, and the Perilous Battle for Pokrovsk. Guest: John Hardie. John Hardie reported that Ukraine signed a letter of intent with France to obtain 100 Rafale warplanes over 10 years, along with air defense systems. While this partnership is encouraging, Hardy expressed concern that Ukraine is excessively over-diversifying its future air fleet (including F-16, Grippen, Mirage, and Rafale) which complicates long-term sustainment and maintenance. Simultaneously, alarming reports surfaced that sabotage was blamed for an explosion on a major railway line in Poland used to supply Ukraine, fitting a pattern of suspected Russian covert operations against European infrastructure. On the battlefield, fighting continues in Pokrovsk (Picro). Hardy warned that if Ukrainian forces prioritize a politically motivated hold, they risk the encirclement and destruction of troops in nearby areas. Poor weather, such as fog, plays a significant role in the conflict, as Russians often time assaults during these conditions to impede Ukrainian aerial reconnaissance and FPV drones.1855 CRIMEA

The pollution is described as poison, with carbon dioxide levels reported to be ten times higher than the World Health Organization's recommended average. The pollution is so severe that schools are sometimes shut down during winter, and residents constantly smell and ingest the high carbon dioxide levels. Guest: Janatyn Sayeh. 18TH CENTURY TEHRAN

Indigo CEO Heather Reisman, teacher Laurie Allen, politician Selina Robinson, professor of medicine Ted Rosenberg – all were arguably targeted for their views and actions, not for their ethnicity. But does that mean it wasn't discrimination or hate?

Once a week I do my best to share information that I come across that might benefit others like me trying harder at "Keeping the Live in Alive!" I've posted the entire live Wellness Wednesday radio show here but in case youre in a hurry, I've summed up this weeks show highlights. #CrepeConfession: My only use of the word 'crepe' used to be in combination with the word 'paper' as in 'crepe paper' until father time starting beating the tar out of my good looks. I didn't realize what a big problem crepe had become for the world. Now I'm doing my part to try and correct my 'crepe' on a daily basis. I'm into Gold Bond Age Renew "Crepe Corrector" (face + body in one—because who's got time for two?). But now they're confusining the crepe out of me by offering too many options. Attitude stays delusionally young, skin becomes un-crepey? Let you know. Muscle = Medical: November is National Muscle Health Month. Big idea: skeletal muscle isn't just cosmetic—it supports metabolism, immunity, mobility, cognition, and longevity. Try the Muscle 30: 30g protein meal, 30 strength reps, or 3,000 steps. Female-First Fuel: UK brand FreeSoul (mother–son team) goes viral with mango greens—part of a broader shift to women-designed wellness. Brain Gains: Long-running research spotlight—women with the highest cardiovascular fitness (measured via cycling) had dramatically lower dementia risk vs. less-fit peers. Translation: cardio for your cortex. Nature = Anti-Inflammatory: Even 20 minutes outdoors can lower stress hormones; some research links 12% lower inflammation within 72 hours after nature walks. Can't get out? Put nature scenes on your screen for a mini-reset. Pickleball Posse: #1 recreational sport for women 40+—and a powerful loneliness antidote. Shoutout: National Women's Pickleball Foundation (big March event in Delray Beach). Sleep Squad, Assemble: Magnesium may reduce nighttime wake-ups and deepen sleep. DST got you off-rhythm? Be kind to yourself and yes—Debbie issues official permission slips for 20–30 min power naps. Brrr-illiant?: Gyms are adding cold plunge pools & cold rooms. Reported perks: mood, metabolism, inflammation support—but skip it if you have heart/neurologic conditions. Hot-bath lovers may remain Team Sauna. Snackable Strength : Micro-moves all day—2 minutes of squats, push-ups, stair bursts are IN! Bonus vintage tip from My late mother Eileen Nigro: she told me to always hold my stomach in. I seriously did this throughout my life back when she was alive. Basically I contracted my stomach muscles for a minute or so while standing on line at the supermarket or 'wherever' multiple times a day. I swear had the flattest stomach ever back then. I really need to try to remember to try to do this again. Can't hurt to try to gently brace your core in everyday life. Cozy Bites, Strong Sips: Protein soups (20–30g/serving) are the fastest-growing meal aisle stars. Also caught a viral-worthy eggplant sheet-pan roll-up: mozzarella, ricotta, blistered tomatoes, roasted peppers, chicken sausage—chef's kiss. I tried it. Pretty darn good! Connection is Medicine: Loneliness is now a global health priority—linked to higher risks for heart disease, dementia, and early death. Tiny gestures = huge impact. Recovery > Hustle: Wearables are pivoting to stress & recovery (HRV, cortisol-linked scores). Rest is now a fitness behavior. Art As Medicine : Singing, painting, learning music can slow cognitive decline. Get older, get cooler. End of Show Daily Toast (Today I quoted Audrey Hepburn): "First hand helps yourself. Second hand helps others." Classic. Deb's Do-This-Week Mini-Checklist (Or Best Effort) One 30g protein meal daily 20 minutes outside (or nature on screen if you must) 5× 60-second strength snacks sprinkled through your day Try an indoor pickleball session with a friend Consider magnesium for sleep (check with your doc) End a shower cooler for 15–30s if you're cold-curious Call or help one person who might be lonely If you try any of these, let me know how it goes. If you try all of them, I expect an invite to your Nobel Prize ceremony. Stay well, stay upbeat, and keep "Keeping the 'Live' in Alive!" — Debbie

Australian Weather: Four Seasons in a Week. Jeremy describes Australia's weather as an "eclectic cacophony," experiencing four seasons in one week, including 80°F days and brutally cold winter-like maximums. Severe storms and reported nighttime funnels hit Queensland. The rapid growth of foliage due to this erratic weather is a dangerous omen, potentially creating extra fuel for future summer fires.

The Department of Justice (DOJ) reportedly informed congressional Republicans that the files tied to Jeffrey Epstein are “even worse” for Donald Trump than previously publicized, suggesting that evidence of Trump's connection to Epstein is more extensive and potentially more damaging than past reporting indicated. The leaks reflect mounting anxiety among GOP lawmakers, some of whom are reportedly preparing to back efforts to force the release of related investigative records.The piece also notes that the rumor mill—particularly an account from Michael Wolff stating Epstein had shown him photos of Trump with underage girls—has stirred serious concern. The silence and evasive behavior of key figures, such as the Attorney General, have further alarmed members of Congress who fear a cover-up, prompting a growing coalition of over 100 Republicans ready to confront what they anticipate is an escalating exposure of wrongdoing.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:DOJ Admits to Republicans That Epstein Files Are Even Worse for Trump | The New Republic

Ahmad Fouad Alkhatib discusses the high probability of renewed conflict in Gaza, arguing that the ceasefire is fragile due to Hamas's malign intentions. He estimates Hamas's combat-effective forces are significantly lower than reported (3,000 to 5,000, versus 15,000 to 30,000), noting Hamas pays fighters $20 to $25 a day. He also challenges polls showing widespread Gazan support for Hamas, arguing such results are manipulated and defy logic given the catastrophe following October 7. Disarmament is crucial for any future political process. 1898

We're taking a momentary break from “Who Does It Best?” to take a trip to Serbia with producer Wojciech Oleksiak. Wojciech was on the ground in Novi Sad last weekend to report from the massive demonstration marking the one-year anniversary of the tragic accident at the city's railway station. And if you're not following this story, you should be. Much of what's happening in Serbia is a heartening example of how peaceful demonstrations can really move the needle, even in places where the political situation looks bleak. And Serbia's leadership has been following a playbook that is increasingly common across Europe and the rest of the world. Even if you don't live under an illiberal democracy…you might want to get familiar with how they take shape. If you're interested to hear more on this evolving story, check out our episode from earlier this year called “Is real change coming to Serbia?” We'll be back with the final episode of “Who Does It Best?” on Friday. (Wojciech has had a busy week.) This podcast was brought to you in cooperation with Euranet Plus, the leading radio network for EU news.

After the body of 14-year-old Celeste Rivas Hernandez was found in singer D4vd's Tesla, new details are emerging that could change what we know about her final days. Private investigator Steve Fischer, hired to investigate the case, uncovered a clue linked to the same day D4vd posted a TikTok from a Six Flags roller coaster, just 16 days after Celeste was reported missing. In this episode, Law&Crime's Jesse Weber sits down with Fischer to break down how this chilling discovery could reshape the timeline and raise new questions about who Celeste was with that day.PLEASE SUPPORT THE SHOW: If you're ever injured in an accident, you can check out Morgan & Morgan.

In this episode, veteran KBS journalist Bong-Seung Shin shares his experience reporting from North Korea and communicating with journalists on the ground in the country. Shin first traveled to Pyongyang in 2008, crossing the demilitarized zone by air as part of a trip organized by an NGO. He describes the excitement of entering North Korea for the first time, the strict media controls he faced and the challenge of filming under constant supervision. A decade later, in 2018, Shin led KBS coverage of inter-Korean events from Seoul, coordinating live broadcasts with his team stationed in Pyongyang. He explains how they managed to send footage, the professionalism of North Korean media workers and how journalists on both sides found common ground despite political barriers. Reflecting on both trips, Shin discusses what these experiences taught him about inter-Korean relations, the divided culture of the two Koreas and his hope to one day open a KBS bureau in Pyongyang. Bong-Seung Shin is a TV journalist with South Korea's state-owned broadcaster KBS. About the podcast: The North Korea News Podcast is a weekly podcast hosted by Jacco Zwetsloot exclusively for NK News, covering all things DPRK — from news to extended interviews with leading experts and analysts in the field, along with insight from our very own journalists.

The Hamas-run health ministry in Gaza says a wave of Israeli airstrikes on Tuesday night killed more than a hundred people, including a number of children. The Israeli military said it had killed "dozens of terrorists". It launched the attacks after accusing Hamas of killing a soldier in violation of the US-brokered ceasefire. Israel says it's now resuming the truce, which President Trump has warned must not be jeopardised. Also: Hurricane Melissa has made landfall in eastern Cuba after causing widespread damage in Jamaica. As Tanzanians take to the polls in a tense general election, there have been violent clashes between protestors and the police. And messages in a bottle written by two Australian soldiers in 1916 have been found more than a century later on the country's south-western coast.

General Zhang Youxia Allegedly Leads PLA Purges Amid Internal CCP Power Struggle General Blaine Holt with John Batchelor General Blaine Holt reported that the purge of nine flag officers was allegedly executed by General Zhang Youxia, not Xi Jinping. Zhang, a top general, began the purges out of fear of becoming a target himself, indicating an internal "civil war" within the CCP factions opposing Xi. Zhang has secured elite military units loyal to him and the People's Liberation Army (PLA), rather than solely the Party, stabilizing the military amidst the turmoil. Zhang's life is at risk if Xi prevails. 1850

If you're listening to this, you probably know someone who has struggled with alcohol addiction, or maybe you're an alcoholic yourself. It's one of the most universal human experiences. In 2023, 10 percent of the U.S. population met the criteria for alcoholism. That's 30 million people. And throughout the past hundred or so years, there's basically been one solution: total sobriety, talk therapy, and Alcoholics Anonymous. And yes, there are countless people ready and eager to say, “AA saved my life.” We know and love many of those people. But as Katie Herzog writes: “The dominance of AA obscures the fact that other options exist too.” Okay, so what are these other options? One of them is a drug called naltrexone that can let alcoholics keep drinking—yes, you heard me right. Katie describes it as a chemical safety net that makes you want to drink less. And in order for the drug to work, you actually have to drink—at least at the beginning. The goal with this method is not necessarily abstinence. It's reformed, moderate, responsible drinking. Is this all starting to sound like snake oil—or worse, even dangerous? We understand. Over 175,000 Americans die each year from excessive drinking. It causes heart disease, cancer, domestic violence, and suicide. It costs the U.S. economy nearly $250 billion in healthcare expenses. There's loss of productivity, criminal justice fees, vehicle wrecks—I could go on. And living with alcoholism, or being close to someone who struggles with addiction, can be devastating. So when someone comes along and says, “Your alcoholic loved one can actually drink with naltrexone,” the knee-jerk reaction is to say: “Hell no.” But Katie Herzog, in her new book Drink Your Way Sober, argues that AA—and our traditional thinking—has not worked, and will not work, for everyone. And she makes the case that we should be more open to alternative forms of treatment like naltrexone. You'll know Katie from her hit podcast Blocked and Reported, which she co-hosts with Free Press contributor Jesse Singal—though she likes to say she is “the only host of the only podcast.” And today, Bari asks her how she got sober using naltrexone—and a program called the Sinclair Method—how the drug actually works, why it's been shunned by the medical community, and whether she thinks society will buy into it.
