Hi friends! We're taking a bit of a summer pause. We will be back soon—in the meanwhile, enjoy this listener favorite from our archives! ----- [originally aired May 14, 2025] Some call it the "psychedelic renaissance." In the last decade or so, interest in psychedelic drugs has surged—and not just among Silicon Valley types and psychiatrists and neuroscientists. It's also surged among a stereotypically soberer crowd: academic philosophers. The reasons are clear. With their varied and sometimes transformative effects, psychedelics raise ethical questions, epistemological questions, metaphysical questions, questions about the nature of experience and the nature of the mind. My guest today is Dr. Chris Letheby. Chris is a philosopher of cognitive science at the University of Western Australia and the author of the 2021 book, Philosophy of Psychedelics. Here, Chris and I talk about the so-called classic psychedelics—LSD, psilocybin, ayahuasca, and others—and how interest in them has gone through three distinct waves. We discuss the effects that these substances seem to have, in particular their capacity to treat certain psychiatric conditions and their tendency to induce "mystical-like" experiences. We consider the idea that psychedelics might serve as agents of moral enhancement. And we dig into the psychological and neural mechanisms by which psychedelics seem to have their diverse—and often salutary—effects. Along the way, we talk about ontological shock, comforting delusions, brain plasticity, unselfing, microdosing, placebo effects and adverse effects, physicalism and idealism, the REBUS model, environmental virtues, plant consciousness, meditation, and much more. Maybe this is obvious but this episode is not just for the seasoned psychonauts out there. Whatever your personal experience with these substances, they offer a distinctive window into the mind—a new way of grappling with big questions. Perhaps this much is also obvious but we're not encouraging or endorsing the use of psychedelics here—just offering a little fuel for your intellectual fires!

NO ADS on PATREON: www.patreon.com/dopeypodcast This week on Dopey! Dave opens in a reflective mood before vacation, trying to practice gratitude while also admitting how ridiculous and uncomfortable it feels. He gives thanks to the Dopey team, Dopey Nation, the people who helped with the film festival, and talks about being sober, scrambling to get shows done, House of the Dragon, and crying on the Long Island Railroad while watching the Knicks finals mini movie. Then Dave gets into revenge, resentment, recovery, redemption, and the dangerous romance of “getting back.” He plays a wild voicemail from a Scottish Dopey listener coming off opiates, who tells a story about buying a house, snorting heroin before move-in day, doing coke, champagne, and Ritalin while moving furniture, crashing a van, watching his friend get arrested, and then finishing the move on a days-long stimulant binge. Then it's a classic Dopey replay with Michael Todd, former bassist of Coheed and Cambria. Michael tells the story of going from prescription painkillers on tour to OxyContin, heroin, shooting coke and dope, leaving the band, rejoining clean, relapsing, smuggling heroin across the country in Gobstopper boxes, robbing a pharmacy in Massachusetts, getting arrested, losing the band for good, dealing with cancer, shame, probation, relapse, Suboxone, and surviving a suicide attempt. It's one of the rawest Dopey conversations ever: rock stardom, addiction, shame, survival, recovery, and Dave's newly coined phrase — radical gratitude. PLUS MORE!!!! MORE! MORE!

Why do neurofeedback practitioners get way better results than the published studies? A listener from the Neurofeedback Exchange Facebook group asked — and the panel spent the hour answering. Joy Lunt's short version: research runs in "the tightest handcuffs you could find." Jay Gunkelman brings the receipts: one artifacted EEG file sent to 15 commercial services came back as pure chaos — and the journal editor called the paper too embarrassing to publish, until Jay threatened to resign. Then the hard-criteria bombshell: standard protocols scored 30%, QEEG-guided hit 60%. Plus the $3M NIMH ADHD study that changed its hypothesis midstream, why BCIA certification doesn't guarantee a good provider, Jay's "the diagnosis world is imaginary," and the kid who lost 80 sessions of progress to one bike crash — and got it back in 24.
In this episode of the Crazy Wisdom Podcast, host Stewart Alsop speaks with Ekaterina Matveeva, founder of Amolingua and Lingo Plus and co-organizer of AI roundtables with EcoCivilization. The conversation covers a wide range of AI-related topics, from the cultural implications of AI development across different countries to the evolution of Ekaterina's perspective on artificial intelligence—moving from initial anger and fear in 2023 to active participation in AI model design by 2025. They discuss the importance of including diverse cultural perspectives in AI training, the cross-country differences in AI regulation (comparing Argentina's human-out-of-the-loop approach to Europe's cautious stance), and the critical question of which sectors need humans in the decision-making loop. The discussion ventures into brain-computer interfaces and Neuralink, examining what happens when technology is removed and questioning whether healthy humans should pursue such enhancements, before touching on the future of personal AI models and the preservation of indigenous wisdom in AI training. You can connect with Ekaterina on LinkedIn to follow her work on AI, education, and cross-cultural technology development.Timestamps00:00 Stewart welcomes Ekaterina Matveeva, founder of Amolingua and Lingo Plus, discussing her work organizing AI roundtables with EcoCivilization05:00 Ekaterina shares her evolution from anger toward AI in 2023 to realizing collaboration potential, emphasizing importance of multicultural perspectives in AI development and training10:00 Discussion of Argentina's new AI liability bill creating human-out-of-loop systems, contrasting with Europe's human-in-loop requirements and different global regulatory approaches15:00 Safety considerations in robotics and AI development, comparing industrial automation standards across regions and discussing Pentagon's use of Anthropic with Palantir systems20:00 Exploring brain-computer interfaces and Neuralink developments, questioning enhancement versus necessity and examining motivations behind cognitive augmentation technologies25:00 Debating human capabilities beyond cognitive function, discussing nervous system, emotions, psychosomatics, and whether brain generates or receives thoughts30:00 Examining societal divisions from enhancement technologies, referencing Avatar and Years and Years series, questioning benefits for healthy individuals versus disability applications35:00 Discussing technological gaps between enhanced and standard populations, concerns about corporate seduction into cybernetic modifications, and lack of long-term safety studies40:00 Questioning who frames AI conversations and trains models, exploring dominant worldviews embedded in AI systems and Vatican-Anthropic collaboration implications45:00 Stewart shares mistakes with Facebook biometric data and building personal AI infrastructure, emphasizing importance of controlling your own models and data50:00 Analyzing whether massive data collection actually improves AI training, questioning if user conversations become buried garbage rather than meaningful model improvements55:00 Ekaterina discusses plans for organizing more roundtables, integrating indigenous wisdom into AI training, and connecting on LinkedIn for future collaborationsKey Insights1. Ekaterina Matveeva's perspective on AI has evolved significantly since 2023, moving from initial anger and fear about AI's impact on education and translation work to becoming actively involved in AI development and training. She realized that instead of resisting AI advancement, she could participate in shaping it by contributing her expertise in education, language, and cross-cultural communication. This shift represents a broader realization that diverse participation in AI development is crucial for creating more versatile and culturally sensitive models rather than allowing a monopoly of values from any single country or culture.2. The conversation highlights fundamental differences in AI regulation across regions, with Europe implementing human-in-the-loop requirements and comprehensive safety measures, while Argentina is reportedly creating frameworks for human-out-of-the-loop AI systems with limited liability. The United States falls somewhere between these approaches, pursuing rapid advancement with fewer regulatory constraints. These divergent approaches reflect different cultural values and priorities, raising important questions about whether AI development should prioritize efficiency and profit or human oversight and control in critical infrastructure sectors.3. Both speakers express concern about brain-computer interfaces like Neuralink, questioning the motivation behind enhancing cognitive abilities when humans already possess multiple forms of intelligence including emotional, cultural, and bodily intelligence. The primary applications demonstrated so far appear limited to video games and potentially military applications, raising questions about whether the technology serves genuine human needs or merely represents an attempt to compete with robots. The speakers emphasize that humans are already complete beings with sophisticated nervous systems, senses, and capabilities that extend far beyond cognitive processing.4. A critical insight emerges around the question of what happens when advanced technologies are removed or turned off. This applies both to brain-computer interfaces and to broader civilization infrastructure dependencies. The speaker shares experiences from 2020 of attempting to live independently in rural California, discovering the challenges of isolation and self-sufficiency. This relates directly to concerns about creating dependencies on technologies where the software ownership and control remain unclear, particularly when those technologies become integrated into human bodies or essential services.5. The discussion reveals concerns about increasing societal division based on access to enhancement technologies. Beyond existing financial inequalities, the speakers worry about a future where people who can afford biological and technological enhancements will advance rapidly while others are left behind. This isn't about disadvantaging certain groups but rather about creating an unbridgeable gap between enhanced early adopters and what they call standard populations who may be intelligent people maintaining traditional ways of life but lacking access to expensive enhancement technologies.6. Matveeva emphasizes the importance of including diverse cultural perspectives, particularly indigenous wisdom and Buddhist traditions, in AI training data. She argues that current AI models reflect the worldviews, values, and hierarchies of their predominantly Western designers, which influences the guidance these models provide to users worldwide. By incorporating wisdom traditions from various cultures, AI models could potentially become wiser and more culturally adaptive, serving diverse populations more effectively rather than imposing a single cultural framework globally.7. The speakers discuss the problematic nature of data collection and ownership in AI training, noting that massive amounts of user data may not actually be improving AI models as expected. There are indications that some AI companies are now specifically requesting users to help train models on their prompts, suggesting that simply collecting billions of conversations hasn't been as useful as anticipated. This raises questions about whether the data users have given away over the past several years has actually made significant impact or is simply buried in chunks of information that aren't effectively connected to meaningful improvements in AI performance.
You've cleaned up your diet. You're taking your hormones. You're doing everything right. And you're still dealing with headaches. Brain fog. Anxiety. Fatigue you can't explain. What if the problem isn't your hormones at all and it's been sitting in your pantry the whole time? In this episode, Dr. Terri sits down with nutritionist Elizabeth DiMeo to break down excitotoxins, chemicals hiding in everyday processed foods that literally overstimulate and damage brain cells. From aspartame to MSG to yeast extract and carrageenan, these ingredients are showing up in food bars, baby formula, school lunches, diet sodas, and snack foods that most of us consider perfectly fine. And the symptoms they cause look almost identical to hormone deficiency. This isn't about shame. It's about information the food industry has never wanted on the label. If you've ever been handed a Prozac prescription for anxiety, a Ritalin referral for your kid, or told your symptoms are just stress, this episode is for you. What you'll discover: What excitotoxins actually are, how they get into the food supply, and why their symptoms are so easy to misdiagnose [06:09] Why the symptom list for excitotoxin overload and hormone deficiency look nearly identical — and what that means for your treatment plan [06:31] The compounding effect: how a typical "healthy" day of eating can layer excitotoxin exposure from breakfast through dinner [13:21] Why children are the most vulnerable — and what's hiding in baby formula, school lunches, and the snacks marketed as nutritious [12:00] The three-year-old who was nearly put on Ritalin — and what happened one week after his mom pulled food dyes from his diet [24:01] Why the same food companies sell chemical-free versions of their products in Europe but not in the US [26:28] Practical weeknight swaps and meal prep strategies that cut your excitotoxin load without overhauling your entire life [27:55] Eat food God made, not man made — the simple framework that ties it all together [22:59] The symptoms are real. The diagnosis might be wrong. Start with the food. The Dr. Terri Show is presented by EVEXIAS Health Solutions.Learn more and find a provider near you at evexias.com Connect with Dr. Terri:

Send us Fan MailEver stare at a three-minute email and feel your brain freeze while your hand reaches for the spice rack? We explore adult ADHD with a practical, humane lens—how a distracted “CEO of the brain” scrambles working memory, warps time into now and not now, and amplifies emotions so small hassles feel catastrophic. Instead of guilt or grit-as-a-solution, we map the real mechanics: dopamine dynamics, executive function breakdowns, and the anxiety loop that steals focus and breeds avoidance.From there, we get tactical. We talk about medication as a helpful wake-up for the brain's CEO—useful, but not a magic bullet. The real momentum comes from externalizing executive function with capture tools, whiteboards, visual timers, and written instructions, then breaking tasks into tiny, winnable steps that deliver quick dopamine hits. We show how mindfulness isn't about bliss but about reps—notice distraction, return on purpose—and how short movement breaks act like nature's Ritalin, resetting the nervous system so focus blocks actually stick.Food and environment become levers, not afterthoughts. We explain why sugar crashes mimic ADHD symptoms and why protein-first breakfasts, omega-3s, and steady hydration matter for mood and attention. We draw a bright line between therapy (the architect for belief and anxiety) and coaching (the contractor for routines and accountability), then outline workplace accommodations that reduce noise and protect deep work. We also flag common comorbidities like dyslexia and dyscalculia, and share simple, repeatable systems families can model together.The big shift: stop trying to be a different brain; build a different environment. When you design your inputs, meals, movement, and workflows to match how your mind actually operates, effort finally converts into results. If this resonated, follow the show, share it with someone who needs a kinder map for ADHD, and leave a review so more folks can find these tools. Which strategy will you try first?

Film Fest Tickets: https://buytickets.at/thedopeyfoundation/2216905 PATREON - www.patreon.com/dopeypodcast On this Thursday Greatest Hits episode, we replayed Ryan Leone's first appearance on Dopey — one of the wildest, most bombastic interviews we've ever done. Ryan was a ridiculously talented, handsome, funny writer who lived one of the most extreme addict lives imaginable: early Ritalin addiction, wilderness programs, stabbing a skinhead, running with cartels, moving kilos of Molly and heroin, multiple federal prisons, writing his cult-classic novel Wasting Talent while locked up, getting close with Johnny Depp, and battling brutal relapses after periods of success. We also had a wild voicemail from Dade about a naked, coke-fueled brawl that ended with her putting her feet through multiple walls, plus listener comments and updates. Ryan passed away in 2022 from fentanyl, which makes this replay especially heavy and important. His story is pure Dopey — chaotic, violent, hilarious, tragic, and full of hard-earned wisdom.

The episode opens with Dave feeling sick but super inspired by the Knicks, community in general, and the way Dopey Nation sticks together. He talks about Dopey Zoom, putting up Dopey stickers carefully, and the psychedelic idea that listeners are all connected through the show. Dave also pays tribute to Rob Base and Sonny Rollins, then reads a brutal listener email from Sarah about broken ankles, losing housing, 7OH/Kratom struggles, and leaning on Dopey Nation. He reads Patreon and Spotify comments, talks about Skinny Vinny, drug dreams, Canadian bacon, Patreon tiers, Tom Shoes backlash, and then promotes the Dopey Recovery Short Film Festival. The main conversation is with Handsome Evan, who is celebrating six years sober and just had his second son on his sobriety anniversary. Sitting in the car by the Great South Bay, Dave and Evan talk AA politics, Jewishness in meetings, Anthony Spaghetti, recovery community, and Evan's story. Evan tells stories about smoking crack, driving dealers around Gordon Heights, trading belongings for drugs, stealing from his family, and eventually becoming a drug and alcohol counselor while still smoking weed and later using coke, booze, Xanax, and Ritalin. He talks about the shame of claiming recovery while secretly using, finally going back to rehab after his wife caught him, and how AA, structure, OCD, and fatherhood helped him build a real life. The episode closes with Evan opening up about anxiety around parenting, obsessive fears about his kids, family resentments, and the strange normal problems of sober life. Anthony Spaghetti makes a guest appearance to explain Prince Spaghetti Day. All that and MORE! MORE! MORE! on a new wednesday dose of that good ol' dopey show.

Moeten artsen eigenlijk wel ADHD-pillen voorschrijven aan kinderen? Met die vraag blijf je achter als je het boek Speedpillen leest van schrijver Jeroen Pen. Hij kreeg op jonge leeftijd Ritalin voorgeschreven. Deze medicatie werkte in het begin fantastisch, totdat hij zwaar verslaafd raakte, en zijn leven meermaals ontspoorde. Esma Linnemann spreekt hem vandaag over zijn boek. Ook aangeschoven is techredacteur en ADHD'er Simoon Hermus.

In dieser Folge wird es kontrovers, unbequem und vielleicht auch erschreckend. Zu Gast sind gleich mehrere Experten aus den Bereichen Dopingforschung, Sportethik und Gesellschaftsanalyse – darunter Pharmakologe Fritz Sörgel, Sportrechtler Martin Schimke und Wissenschaftler Christoph Binkelmann. Gemeinsam werfen wir einen Blick auf ein Thema, das den Sport für immer verändern könnte: die Enhanced Games. Was passiert eigentlich im Körper bei Doping? Warum nehmen Athleten trotz massiver Risiken leistungssteigernde Mittel? Und warum sorgt eine neue Sportbewegung, die Doping nicht nur erlaubt, sondern feiert, weltweit für Diskussionen? Wir sprechen über EPO, Steroide, Wachstumshormone und die medizinischen Folgen von Leistungssteigerung. Aber auch über die gesellschaftliche Frage dahinter: Warum akzeptieren wir Hochrisikosportarten, verurteilen aber gedopte Athleten? Ist der moderne Leistungssport überhaupt noch fair – oder war er das nie? Außerdem geht es um Fairness, Selbstbestimmung, Leistungsdruck, KI, Ritalin, Freizeitdoping und die Frage, wie weit Menschen gehen werden, um besser zu werden. Diese Folge wird deine Sicht auf Leistung, Gesundheit und modernen Sport verändern. Jetzt reinhören und selbst entscheiden: Sind die Enhanced Games die Zukunft des Sports – oder der Anfang seines Untergangs?

This podcast episode of Next Level Healing features Dr. Tara Perry speaking with fitness industry expert Kevin Steel, PhD, about the transformative benefits of exercise for brain health, anti-aging, and overall well-being.Kevin Steel brings decades of experience in health and fitness, having completed multiple Ironman competitions and holding a PhD in exercise physiology with a subspecialty in nutrition. He spent his career working with everyone from corporate executives to athletes, eventually becoming director of education research and member services for the world's largest health club company. The conversation centers on Steel's assertion that exercise is like a miracle drug - "if science could put it inside a pill, people would be lined up around the block, willing to pay anything to get it". He emphasizes that only 7% of chronic diseases are genetic, meaning 93% are lifestyle-related and preventable. Key benefits of exercise discussed include:Brain Health: Regular exercise regenerates neurons and expands gray and white matter in the brain [13:52]. It stimulates brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), which acts like "fertilizer for your brain" [15:32]. Exercise can reduce amyloid plaques associated with Alzheimer's and dementia [13:52].Mental Health: Steel references Dr. John Ratey's book "Spark," which demonstrated that exercise therapy can achieve the same or better results than pharmaceutical drugs for treating anxiety, depression, and stress [21:12] [21:38].Physical Health: Exercise improves cardiovascular function, blood pressure, insulin sensitivity, and can even reverse type 2 diabetes when combined with healthy eating [18:58] [16:32] [18:01].Children's Health: A study in Naperville, Illinois showed that structured exercise programs eliminated ADHD symptoms in children, allowed them to go off medications like Ritalin, and dramatically improved academic test scores [23:05] [23:34] [23:44].Steel advocates for a whole food, plant-based diet, noting concerns about hormones and antibiotics in mass-produced animal products [34:11]. He emphasizes that exercise doesn't require expensive equipment - simple activities like walking 30 minutes daily cost nothing but provide significant health benefits [29:33].Despite these proven benefits, only 26% of American adults exercise regularly, and only 18-20% belong to health clubs [28:34]. Steel attributes this partly to doctors receiving little education about exercise science in medical school, leaving patients without specific guidance when told to "eat better and exercise" [30:53] [31:41].The episode concludes with Steel's contact information for those seeking more guidance: LinkedIn at Kevin D Steel PhD: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kevindsteelephd and email at KDsteelphd@yahoo.comWork with Dr. Tara PerryTune in every Wednesday for a new episode of Next Level Healing.

This week, we conclude our 4-part series on Strokes, the #4 cause of death in America. In this episode, you'll discover:—How the number one thing we can do to prevent Strokes is to not smoke cigarettes. And the dangers of Vaping which Dr. Prather says "can actually be worse" because of the Heavy Metals that are being inhaled. —Why Dr. Prather says it is "a testament against our government" that only 2% of a cigarette is required to be composed of tobacco, with the rest being cardboard soaked in addictive chemicals. —The Acupuncture, Auriculotherapy, and Homeopathy treatments offered at Holistic Integration that are incredibly effective in helping people to overcome cigarette and other addictions. —How birth control pills are the leading cause of younger women to have a Stroke because they reduce Copper levels in the body, which leads to a weakening of the arteries. Plus, the dangers of legal pharmaceutical amphetamines like Ritalin, which are "basically cocaine".—How the ECP (External CounterPulsation) Therapy at Holistic Integration prevents Cardiovascular Disease, will reverse Cardiovascular Disease, and even reverses Stroke effects by duplicating 5 years of marathon training for the heart in just 7 weeks. —The role obesity plays in increasing the risk of a Stroke. And the Body Composition Analysis at Holistic Integration that measures your Body Fat Percentage more accurate,y than the Body Mass Index measurement. —Why TIA events should be taken seriously because they will make you 10 times more likely to have a Stroke within the next year. And why Dr. Prather says you need to react to a TIA as if you have had a Stroke. —The amazing amount of information you get from the Autonomic Nervous System ANS Test that is given to every new patient at Holistic Integration and helps Dr. Prather really know if a patient is in trouble. —Why your Cholesterol ratio matters more than just your overall Total Cholesterol number. And how Cholesterol is actually an antioxidant there to protect you from Free Radical damage.—The importance of proper Chiropractic Care in Stroke Prevention, particularly the Atlas Orthogonal Adjustment. And why Dr. Prather says you are not going to correct Hypertension caused by a Vagal Nerve issue unless you correct the Atlas first. http://www.TheVoiceOfHealthRadio.com*Receive exclusive bonus content as a member of our Voice Of Health Patreon Community:https://www.patreon.com/cw/VoiceofHealthPodcast

You've probably heard that medications like Ritalin, Adderall, or Vyvanse simply "fix" your attention. But what if I told you that most of what you think you know about how these meds work is actually wrong—or at least seriously incomplete? Understanding why neurodiversity is good for business starts with accurate information about how our brains actually function—including the real science behind ADHD medication.In this episode, we'll unpack new, game-changing scientific research that reveals what stimulants are truly doing in your brain. Spoiler: they're not just fixing your attention networks.We'll explore how these meds boost arousal and make boring business tasks feel more worth doing, why sleep is a critical performance variable, and what all of this means for structuring your workflows and managing your expectations as a business owner with ADHD.Whether you're taking medication, considering it, or just plain curious, this episode will help you understand the real role of stimulants in your entrepreneurial journey—and give you practical strategies to work with your brain.For years, we've been told stimulants “fix” our faulty attention networks. But new research out of Washington University just flipped that script—and it has huge implications for how we work, rest, and structure our businesses. This research on the attention mechanism in neural networks reveals that ADHD medication works differently than we thought.3 Key Takeaways:Stimulants = Wakefulness + Salience boost: They don't “fix” your attention span—they make your brain more awake (like a great night's sleep) and make boring tasks feel more worth doing.Sleep is a performance variable, not optional: Meds can mask sleep deprivation, but can't fix it. If you're hitting a wall by afternoon, it's likely a sleep issue, not a “bad brain” or “bad med” issue.Build your business around your real needs: Use your medicated hours for tedious-but-critical tasks, create systems that connect daily actions to meaningful outcomes, and get super-specific in conversations about what “isn't working”—the answer isn't always a higher dose.Resources Mentioned in the Episode: Study in Cell MagazineAbout the Host, Diann Wingert:Diann Wingert is the creator and host of ADHDish, a podcast that explores the realities of living with ADHD, especially for entrepreneurs and business owners.

Matt Grace. The first half of Matt Grace's grippingly honest memoir, GOD DOESN'T RELAPSE (Lasega Books; August 11, 2026) reveals the story of a selfish, entitled, lying, cheating, manipulating, unfaithful, abusive, cruel, worst-case drug addict. From a young age, Grace was a self-indulgent, abrasive, disrespectful bully who manipulated his mother, playing on her guilt for cheating on his father and blaming her for the divorce and his enabling father, continually in denial about his son's drug addiction and never making him pay for his mistakes. If he destroyed a car inebriated, he got another one the next day. If he rang up the credit card to thousands, he was never made to pay it back. This tragic, but inspiring story takes Grace through a life getting high on various substances, from alcohol, to cocaine and crack, to Ritalin to oxy to meth and basically anything he could get his hands on. As with others like him coming from a world of wealth, he had an easy time getting money to pay for his habits, and found jobs through his enabling father who also had the connections to help him avoid the law. He ruined many lives on his chaotic, rudderless journey. But just when he seems the most horrible person imaginable, Grace experiences a coming-to-god moment, really sees the light in a room while he's on his knees, at his lowest ebb, praying. And because he was one of the lucky ones whose addictions didn't kill him, the direction of his life was able to change for the better and he is now on the road to redemption and helping to serve others. More than 48 million Americans are battling substance use disorder—and more than half of those who find their way to recovery will relapse. Grace's story is not just personal—it's urgently relevant. As prescription drug abuse surges, as fentanyl turns every relapse into a potential death sentence, and as families across the country grapple with loss, disappearance, and exploitation, this memoir exposes the deep fractures in the lives of addicts and the often-inadequate approaches within the addiction treatment industry. About the Author Matt Grace is an author, speaker, and transformational recovery expert who has devoted his life to helping people break free from addiction and reclaim their future. With more than twenty years of sobriety, a bachelor's degree in Addiction Studies with a focus on Integrative Healing, and over 10,000 hours mentoring individuals and families, he has become a trusted guide to both the highly privileged and the deeply overlooked. He is the founder of Saving Grace, a practice designed to help families navigate the painful intersection of generational wealth and generational wounds. His work has taken him from Manhattan boardrooms and Palm Beach estates to church basements, recovery homes, and state-funded programs in Michigan, reflecting his belief that addiction knows no boundaries—and neither should recovery. Today, Matt speaks nationally on addiction, recovery, and redemption, bringing raw honesty, practical structure, and hard-won wisdom to audiences across every walk of life. His mission is simple: to dismantle the lies of addiction, restore families, and prove that rock bottom is not the end—it's the beginning. Matt Grace stands as proof that when service becomes your higher power, transformation becomes possible.

Melissa sits down with renowned psychiatrist and brain health expert Daniel Amen for the third time to explore the connection between brain health and overall wellbeing. Following her recent ADHD diagnosis, Melissa shares the changes she's been making and why understanding the brain itself can transform the way we approach mental health. They discuss the stigma surrounding stimulant medications and the differences between Adderall and Ritalin. Dr. Amen explains how brain scans can reveal the effects of past trauma and why the brain has a remarkable ability to heal. Melissa also shares the tools she's exploring to support her brain health including hormone balancing, saffron for PMS relief, and hyperbaric oxygen therapy and how these insights have shaped a more mindful, intentional approach to her life and wellness.You can get an additional 15% off their 90-day subscription Starter Kit by going to fatty15.com/MWH15 and using code MWH15 at checkout.Visit dreamrecovery.io and use the code MWH15 for 15% off.

Dr. Adam Dorsay introduces his podcast episode featuring Melissa Orlov, a Harvard-educated expert on ADHD and marriage and author of “The ADHD Effect on Marriage” and “The Couple's Guide to Thriving with ADHD.” They discuss what adult ADHD is and is not, emphasizing attention dysregulation, distractibility, impulsivity, planning and working-memory difficulties, and emotional dysregulation, along with the hereditary and neurochemical basis (notably low dopamine) and why stimulants can be calming by increasing dopamine availability. Dorsay shares his own late ADHD diagnosis, his first experience taking Ritalin, and how medication helped him build habits and identity-based changes he later maintained without medication.Orlov describes common, predictable relationship patterns in ADHD-impacted couples, including the “hyperfocus courtship” phase driven by elevated dopamine and the shift after 24–28 months when symptoms become more visible. She outlines the experiences of both partners: the ADHD partner often carries lifelong shame and sensitivity to criticism, while the non-ADHD partner can feel lonely, resentful, and overwhelmed by chaos and perceived lack of follow-through. They explore distractibility and how “new or shiny” can override what is important, and they highlight strengths often associated with ADHD such as creativity, energy, passion, and effective performance in high-stimulation contexts.Orlov presents a three-stage framework for healing: moving out of denial and learning how ADHD impacts relationships, both partners taking responsibility for their own work, and breaking entrenched patterns such as parent-child dynamics and “symptom-response-response” cycles by reframing symptoms and changing reactions. They address sleep hygiene as foundational, noting sleep deprivation can worsen or mimic ADHD symptoms, and discuss strategies like consistent bedtime routines, “sacred bedtime,” and limiting electronics and blue-light exposure. They also discuss how parent-child dynamics harm sexual connection, the importance of lowering pressure when restarting sex, and improving communication about sex. Orlov closes with the importance of rebuilding trust through transparency and ownership rather than equating trust solely with perfect follow-through, and she names self-compassion and compassion for others as the key skill she would give to everyone.00:00 Welcome to Dorsay00:28 ADHD and Marriage Stakes01:00 Meet Melissa Orlov03:00 Why ADHD Feels Familiar04:17 What ADHD Is and Isnt06:23 Why Stimulants Help07:38 Adams Diagnosis Story09:36 Medication Targets and Hope12:14 Habits and Identity Shifts13:15 Empathy for Both Partners14:50 ADHD Partner Childhood Shame20:13 Non ADHD Partner Experience22:19 Hyperfocus Courtship Chemistry24:46 Distractibility in Relationships26:49 Main Thing Mantra27:24 Medication to Structure28:39 ADHD Strengths Kept30:17 Three Stages Healing31:29 Breaking Bad Patterns34:57 Sleep Hygiene Fixes40:36 Electronics at Bedtime42:14 Sex and Reconnection49:06 Rebuilding Trust54:21 Compassion Magic Skill55:22 Closing ThanksHelpful Links:Melissa OrlovMelissa Orlov The Couple's Guide to Thriving with ADHD Book

Following a CPS investigation initiated by a mandatory school reporter and a previous restraining order involving Jim's current wife, Courtney, a December 2025 settlement resulted in the children moving to Tennessee to live with Jim full-time. This case mirrors California legal procedures, where the Department of Children and Family Services (DCFS) investigates similar reports via a Section 3027 report to determine if allegations are founded, which can lead to emergency custody shifts and restricted visitation.
Does brain science need a new grand plan? Is the brain less like an assembly line and more like a weather system? What does this mean for what counts as explanatory, and how might AI help us in the near future? What does any of this have to do with how the drug Ritalin got its name? Today we’ll speak with neuroscientist Nicole Rust, author of Elusive Cures.
On our latest podcast, we discuss the episodes of Coronation Street shown between the 9th and the 13th February (Episodes #11,790 - 11,794) This week, we meet Jodie and Shona's dad, Doug, though he's confined to his bed and certainly not in a good state of mind - though he's still lucid enough to know his youngest daughter's a wrong 'un. We're loving the mystery around this family, and Jodie's curious box of knickknacks has us wondering all sorts about what she's been up to! Also this week, Sam gets in touch with the Weatherfield drugs wizard when he hears that Ritalin can be used as a study aid - but is this a little too out of character for him? Also this week, Theo returns from his mum's, Mal proves himself to a a definite stalkery weirdo, and Debbie is assigned a prison buddy - and it's someone we were very happy to see again! As much as we wanted to carry on with the podcast after this and discuss the cancellation of the BSAs, unfortunately Michael wasn't feeling too well at all, so we called it a day after Street Talk - so you'll just have to wait a little longer to hear our thoughts on the British Soap Awards' cancellation!
Big Dipper and Meatball welcome the one and only Monét X Change to the studio, where she immediately confesses to popping a Ritalin and dives headfirst into the chaos. They get into everything from her enjoyment of fellating men for hours to walking cats on leashes and whether or not she quietly snuck off for a BBL. Monét spills about doing stand-up, surviving 36 unforgettable hours on Survivor, her time on The Traitors Season 4 and why rotted wigs, DL hookups, and “dick decks” on gay cruises are simply part of the gig. Plus, Monét explains the athletic art of tucking at the gym while Dipper educates her on the proper terminology for hooking up with chubby men, and Meatball accuses her of tattooing on her freckles.Listen to Sloppy Seconds Ad-Free AND One Day Early on MOM PlusCall us with your sex stories at 213-536-9180!Or e-mail us at sloppysecondspod@gmail.comFOLLOW SLOPPY SECONDSFOLLOW BIG DIPPERFOLLOW MEATBALLSLOPPY SECONDS IS A FOREVER DOG AND MOGULS OF MEDIA (M.O.M.)

When we think of potentially dangerous and addictive drugs, most of us think about illegal substances like heroine or cocaine. And yet widely-prescribed drugs like Xanax, Ritalin, Adderall, and Vicodin are also addictive, but legal in the United States. Historian David Herzberg discusses the artificial distinction that has been created between addictive drugs and medicines — with the key difference being the class and race of the consumers who use them and the partial protections that one group receives and the other does not. (Encore presentation.)

In this Thanksgiving conversation, The Talk My Credo team discards their entire topic outline to have an in-depth discussion community, faith, & the trending wave of "deconstruction" in responding to a recent online quarrel. Donte discusses the concept of deconstruction in relation to faith and belief systems, emphasizing that many individuals who claim to be deconstructing their beliefs are often not engaging in a genuine exploration of their faith, but rather are motivated by a disdain for God. He contrasts the idea of genuinely understanding one's beliefs with the act of simply tearing down established faith without a constructive purpose. Tap in to this heart shifting discussion and lets get active!!** CHAPTERS **00:00 - Intro & Thanksgiving Shenanigans07:00 - "Deconstruction" In The Black Community12:00 - How an Arrogant Misunderstanding Facilitated a Lesson26:40 - Anti-Christianity & The Importance of Research34:55 - Men Who Lead With Hyper Masculinity Are Weak36:50 - Intellectualism & Learning From The Past...43:55 - Exploring God, Politics, & Legalism54:00 - Examining Shedeur Sanders' Faith During Persecution1:03:15 - Why Are There So Many Denominations1:04:25 - Nas Addresses the Quarter Zip Movement1:07:47 - Body Types & Styles are NOT for Everyone1:11:05 - The Old Head 'Not Like Us' Flow Video1:15:38 - Closing Thank Yous & Shenanigans **TAKEAWAYS**Many people claim to deconstruct their beliefs but may not be genuine.The act of deconstruction can sometimes stem from a hatred of God.True deconstruction involves understanding and rebuilding beliefs.There is a difference between genuine exploration and mere criticism.Some individuals approach faith with a conspiracy mindset.Dismantling faith without understanding is not constructive.A genuine search for truth requires openness and honesty.Beliefs should be examined from the ground up.Criticism of faith should be approached with care and respect.Understanding one's beliefs is a vital part of personal growth.---------------

Edward English grew up between Houston and Ohio in a turbulent home marked by an absent father and an abusive stepfather. Put on Ritalin from ages 7 to 17, he struggled with confidence and identity — eventually turning to drugs as a way to escape. What started as experimentation spiraled into an eight-year heroin addiction that led to his arrest in 2011 for possession, distribution, and trafficking. Sentenced to nearly eight years in prison, Edward served 4.5 before being released in 2016. Behind bars, everything changed. Through faith, mentorship, and personal growth programs, he transformed his mindset and rebuilt his life from the inside out — a journey he documents in his memoir Emersion. Today, Edward is 14 years clean, a husband, father, and commercial plumber in Columbus, Ohio, dedicated to helping others overcome addiction and find purpose after prison. His story is one of pain, perseverance, and the power of true transformation. #LockedInWithIanBick #PrisonStories #TrueCrime #AddictionRecovery #HeroinAddiction #OhioPrison #RedemptionStory #realstories Thank you to DAWS for sponsoring this episode: Go to http://www.daws.org/ to donate, adopt or send items from their wishlist.

Lots of work to do—let's get to it—Here are 3 big things for this hour— Number One— A scathing report is calling on the United States to label the Muslim Brotherhood a terrorist organization—and says anything less puts American lives in jeopardy from radical terrorists that are already living here— Number Two— There is word coming out that President Trump is crafting a 28 point plan—similar to what he created for Gaza—in an effort to bring peace to Ukraine and end the war with Russia— Number Three— We are watching an entire generation of young men drift—angry, aimless, medicated – there are more men on Ritalin in the U.S. than in any other country – they're addicted to screens, and told from every corner that the very thing that could save them, their God-given masculinity, is the problem. And I'm here to tell you that's a lie straight from the pit.
An estimated 7 million (11.4%) U.S. children aged 3–17 years have been diagnosed with ADHD, according to a national survey of parents using data from 2022. This represents an increase of 1 million compared to 2016. Ritalin is a brand name for the prescription medication methylphenidate, a central nervous system stimulant used primarily to treat attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and narcolepsy. It works by affecting chemicals in the brain and nerves that contribute to hyperactivity and impulse control, helping to improve focus, attention, and reduce impulsive behaviors and hyperactivity. There are natural ways of accomplishing the same thing, allowing the body to function as it is designed to do, treating the whole body not the symptom. Dr Wallach explores these solutions in tonight's show. #BardsFM_HealthAndWellness #TreatingADHD #BodyTemple Bards Nation Health Store: www.bardsnationhealth.com EnviroKlenz Air Purification, promo code BARDS to save 10%:www.enviroklenz.com EMPShield protect your vehicles and home.

Here's a puzzle that will stop you cold: ADHD has exploded into public consciousness. More diagnoses than ever. More research. More conversations. And yet? Turn on your television. What stares back at you?The class clown. The scatterbrained sidekick. The walking punchline.Something doesn't add up.This disconnect—between lived reality and screen reality—forms the heart of this week's conversation with Matthew Fox, whose passion for dissecting genre media runs as deep as his own neurodivergent experience. Fox hosts Superhero Ethics and other podcasts that examine the ethics woven through our most beloved stories. But today, they're hunting bigger game.Consider this: Maria von Trapp. "How do you solve a problem like Maria?" Sound familiar? Fox argues she's ADHD incarnate. Flighty. Unpredictable. Out of focus. The nuns can't pin her down. Neither can we, apparently. Because nobody—not once—uses the words.That's the pattern. Characters burst with hyperactivity, impulsivity, attention challenges. Dennis the Menace in the '50s. Tigger bouncing through the Hundred Acre Wood. Calvin racing after imaginary adventures. All ADHD-coded. None explicitly labeled.Why does this matter? Because children search desperately for themselves in stories. Adults do too, though less consciously. When representation gets frozen in stereotype—or worse, buried in subtext—it shapes how teachers see students, how employers evaluate talent, how we see ourselves.The conversation zigzags through terrain both familiar and startling. Percy Jackson, where ADHD becomes a god-given power. Phil Dunphy, the endearing but scattered dad. Jake Peralta solving crimes through controlled chaos. Then the darker territory: Barney Stinson using ADHD as an excuse for predatory behavior.But here's where it gets interesting. Fox notices something that escaped everyone else: the gender patterns. Hyperactive male character? Meet his organized, grounding female partner. It's everywhere once you see it. Brooklyn Nine-Nine. Modern Family. New Girl. The narrative is always the same—love of a steady woman tames the chaotic man.And buried within all of this lies a more uncomfortable truth. In our hunger to see ourselves on screen, we claim characters who were never intended as representation. We read ADHD into Kirk and Spock, into Hiccup and his dragon, into anyone who shows even a glimmer of recognition.Is that enough? Should it be?Whether you're searching for positive examples for your children or trying to untangle how decades of media have shaped your own relationship with neurodivergence, this conversation might just shift how you watch ... everything.Links & NotesShows and MoviesModern Family - Phil Dunphy as ADHD-coded characterBrooklyn Nine-Nine - Jake Peralta as positive ADHD representationHow I Met Your Mother - Barney Stinson as problematic ADHD portrayalNew Girl - Nick and Jess relationship dynamicThe Simpsons - Bart Simpson and Ritalin episode (2000)Community - Abed Nadir as autism-coded characterParenthood (TV series) - Autism representationArrow - Felicity Smoak as ADHD-coded characterK-pop Demon Hunter - Zoe as positive ADHD representationThe Sound of Music - Maria von Trapp as ADHD-codedFinding Nemo/Finding Dory - Dory as ADHD representationHow to Train Your Dragon - Hiccup as ADHD-codedBooks and CharactersPercy Jackson series by Rick Riordan - ADHD as demigod traitCalvin and Hobbes - Calvin as ADHD-codedDennis the Menace - Classic hyperactive representationWinnie the Pooh characters as neurodivergent representationPodcasts by Matthew FoxThe Ethical PandaSuperhero EthicsStar Wars GenerationsMarvel Movie Minute (co-hosted with Pete Wright)The Once and Future Parent(Coming soon!)Links & NotesSupport the Show on PatreonDig into the podcast Shownotes Database (00:00) - Welcome to Taking Control: The ADHD Podcast (01:22) - Support the Show and Become a Patron!

On this episode of Vitality Radio, Jared addresses Illinois' new mandate requiring annual mental health screenings for students in grades 3–12. While it's being framed as a step forward for children's well-being, Jared unpacks the hidden ties to pharmaceutical interests, the flawed screening tools linked to Pfizer, and the real risk of funneling kids toward lifelong prescriptions of SSRIs and other psychotropic drugs. You'll learn why the “chemical imbalance” theory of depression has been debunked, how placebo often performs as well as antidepressants in studies, and the dangers of medicating developing brains. Jared also shares his wife Jen's powerful journey of breaking free from decades on antidepressants through nutrition, gut healing, and root-cause support. This episode challenges the narrative that more medication equals better care, highlighting safer, natural paths to emotional vitality. If you're a parent, grandparent, or simply concerned about the future of mental health in our schools, this conversation is a must-listen.Products:LifeSeasons Lion's Mane Mushroom (Vitality Radio POW!

00:00:00 – Drugs, Dumb Teen Stories & a “Butt-Chugging” PSA Loose opener about uppers vs. downers, teenage Ritalin myths, oxygen-deprivation “games,” and the show's long-running warning about dangerous alcohol stunts—then a pivot toward news. 00:10:00 – Robot Games: Toddlers Today, Terminators Tomorrow China launches the first Humanoid Robot Games: 500+ bots on 280 teams from 16 countries compete in 26 events from soccer and boxing to medicine sorting and cleaning. Hosts riff on elder-care “assistant” robots and the dystopian vibes. 00:20:00 – From Robot Olympics to Robot Allowance Speculation on “AI crypto allowances” to motivate humanoids, ED-209 jokes, and the idea of parallel “janitor Olympics.” The convo begins drifting toward brain-computer interfaces. 00:30:00 – BCI “Password” Guards Your Thoughts (Sort of) Discussion of a mind-reading brain implant that only decodes when you think a preset keyword; claims of ~74% accuracy on imagined sentences and even silent counting, with big privacy worries baked in. 00:40:00 – Death Valley Heat & the Federal Urine Chart Why people still flock to Death Valley in killer temps, and the National Park Service's bathroom-posted urine-color chart for hydration—equal parts useful and darkly funny. 00:50:00 – Ouija Study Says Fear = Belief; Mike Says “Careful, Portals” A field experiment finds believers report anxiety and “supernatural” perceptions using the board, skeptics don't—researchers call the board harmless. Mike pushes back: belief is the conduit; mirrors are “portals,” so don't play around. 01:00:00 – Capitol Hill UFO Chat: Four Species? Show Us the Receipts Recap of an interview about alleged reptilian, insectoid, grey, and other entities discussed around Congress; hosts want evidence levels and, most of all, any real propulsion breakthroughs shared with the public. 01:10:00 – Alien Taxonomy & the Soul-in-the-Simulation Theory From Jason-Giorgiani-style categories (reptilians, greys, djinn, Nordics, machine/AI entities) to the idea we're in a simulation—entities as “admins” fascinated by human souls; cycles of humans merging with AI and losing humanity. 01:20:00 – Caller: Anchorage Putin–Trump Summit, Ukraine, & the P-Jar Bit A listener in Alaska paints the scene around a Putin/Trump visit—overflows in dorms, air-show speculation, then a hot take on the Ukraine front. Comic detour: “presidential hydration” and a press-conference pee-jar gag. 01:30:00 – Comet ATLAS Omens & Starbucksed Offices Farmer Matt calls in with a spooky read on Comet ATLAS 2025 (bad omens, memory weirdness). Then: South Korea's Starbucks asks customers to stop hauling in desktop rigs and printers as cafés morph into makeshift offices. 01:40:00 – Café Countermeasures → No Outlets for You More on Korean cafés limiting stays to two hours and cutting power outlets; running jokes about dragging in gas generators. The show then edges toward a bigger AI story. 01:50:00 – Zuck, Torrents & an Ohio No-Show Registry Allegations that Meta pirated and even seeded adult videos to train AI models lead to ribbing of “Mark Z.” Then a local Ohio bill would track interview no-shows—hosts debate accountability vs. blacklisting. 02:00:00 – Outro: Merch Woes & Pizza Sign-Off Wrap-up housekeeping (merch store troubles), then the classic “take care of yourself and each other”—and a quick “I'm outside the control room eating a piece of pizza” fade-out.

In this Huberman Lab Essentials episode, I explore the biology and psychology of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), and discuss both prescription and non-prescription treatment options. I discuss the neural circuits involved in attention and concentration, emphasizing dopamine's role in regulating and coordinating focus. I explain how common prescription stimulants like Ritalin, Adderall, and Modafinil act on the brain to treat ADHD, and discuss non-drug approaches, including supplements and behavioral training to support focus. The episode offers tools and insights beneficial not only for those with ADHD but for anyone seeking to improve attention and focus. Read the episode show notes at hubermanlab.com.

1104. This week with Martha Barnette, co-host of "A Way with Words" and author of "Friends with Words: Adventures in Languageland," we look at the concept of a "spark word" — the word that ignites a love of language. We also look at fascinating etymologies from ancient Greek, including the surprising connections between "Nike" and "fennel," and the origins of "panic" and "Ritalin."Martha Barnette's websiteMartha's book, “Friends with Words: Adventures in Languageland”Martha's podcast, "A Way with Words"
Want to fall in love with your ADHD brain and make it work for you? Learn more about my patented program, Your ADHD Brain is A-OK Academy here: programs.tracyotsuka.com/signup___What if your doctor could prescribe a fishing group instead of another medication? A birdwatching club for your anxiety. An art class for your depression. Welcome to social prescribing—a healthcare movement that's changing how we think about healing by focusing on connection, not just pills.Julia Hotz is a journalist and author of The Connection Cure, the first book to explore the science behind social prescribing. As someone who recognizes herself in ADHD symptoms—the scattered attention, the 10,000 browser tabs, the plates left out for days—she's discovered something fascinating: when do we feel our symptoms the least?In this conversation, Julia and Tracy dive into why ADHD brains are particularly sensitive to loneliness and disconnection, and how social prescriptions can be game-changing. From Dave's fishing group that helped him overcome addiction and ADHD symptoms, to forest bathing backed by Japanese research, to bibliotherapy that eases anxiety, Julia shares real examples of how connection-based healing works.They explore attention restoration theory, why 20 minutes in nature can work as well as Ritalin, and how moving from "what's wrong with you" to "what matters to you" can transform everything. Julia shows us how giving our brains what they actually need—connection, nature, purpose—can help us thrive alongside traditional treatments.Resources: Website: https://www.hotzthoughts.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/hotzthoughtsLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/julia-hotz-06510161 Send a Message: Your Name | Email | Message Learn more by connecting with Tracy through Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, Pinterest, or visit adhdforsmartwomen.com.Are You Ready to Discover Your Brilliance?

ADHD has been considered a medical disorder, treatable with drugs like Ritalin, but New York Times Magazine writer Paul Tough says recent studies question that assumption and treatment options.Also, Martin Johnson reviews a new tribute to Anthony Braxton, who Johnson says is one of the most polarizing figures in jazz.Learn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoicesNPR Privacy Policy
My guest is Dr. John Kruse, M.D., Ph.D., a psychiatrist specializing in treating people with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). We discuss the many stimulant and nonstimulant ADHD medications available, covering both their potential benefits and risks. We also explore behavioral approaches to managing ADHD, the key role of maintaining a consistent sleep-wake schedule, and the impact of exercise, fish oil supplementation, and video games on ADHD. Additionally, we examine the genetic and environmental factors contributing to the rise in adult and child ADHD diagnoses and offer various options to consider if you or someone you know is struggling with focus.
