Stimulant medication has been widely prescribed to treat ADHD effectively for decades. But is the impact for a person more than just greater focus and attention? Does it change a person's understanding of oneself, one's relationships, and overall approach to life--i.e. one's personality? Listen to our open discussion of this question with the LGP team and our guest, psychiatrist and Stanford professor, Dr. John Leikauf.Hosts: Eyrn, Al, ToshiaGuest: John E.

If you want to get leaner and live longer check out https://milliondollarbodylabs.com   Are you wasting money on "miracle" supplements while ignoring the simple habits that actually build muscle, protect your brain, and help you live longer?   I talk with Alex Jamal. We discuss fitness. Alex explains bodybuilding. I ask about peptides. We cover health. We talk about supplements. Alex mentions creatine. We discuss brain function. We talk about sleep. Alex shares thoughts on amino acids. I mention my experiment with leucine. We talk about pre-workout drinks. We discuss blood flow. I share my experience using baking soda. We focus on consistency. Alex describes her background. We provide a guide for people.   Key Takeaways Peptides and unverified supplements often lack long-term data and third-party testing, making them risky compared to established options. Creatine provides significant benefits for brain health and may reduce the risk of dementia or Alzheimer's. Essential Amino Acids (EAAs) are more effective for muscle protein synthesis than taking branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs) or leucine alone. Sleep is a highly underrated factor for muscle recovery and hormonal health, especially for men. Stimulant-free pre-workouts allow for better blood flow (vasodilation) compared to high-caffeine options that constrict vessels. Baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) can increase endurance by about 30% during high-intensity isometric or endurance activities, but requires careful dosing to avoid digestive issues. Consistency for at least six to eight weeks is necessary to see real physiological changes in the body.   Resources Business Website: https://www.fitnessresultscoach.com Business Instagram: @fitnessresultscoach Alex Jamal's Instagram: @thetraineralex Guest LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/alex-jamal-45755626 Nate Palmer: The founder of The Million Dollar Body and author of "The Million Dollar Body Method", Nate has been coaching for over 15 years and has worked personally with over 1,000 clients.

PRE-ORDER the upcoming book now: https://www.holisticlifenavigation.com/the-bookAt the age of nine Luis was diagnosed with ADHD. He never medicated with pharmaceuticals: instead his drugs of choice were coffee, cigarettes, and a stimulating diet. Over the years Luis has learned how to reduce the stimulants needed to keep him engaged. ADD/ADHD is when there is not enough dopamine getting to the brain, usually because of low levels of brain and gut, or vagus nerve inflammation. People in this situation are sometimes referred to as “bored”, “lazy”, or "depressed", as a body collapses in to functional freeze. Camille and Luis discuss the upcoming 6-month ADHD Slow Group starting April 7th. It begins with learning to relate to the ADHD nervous system, overcouplings and judgments about ADHD behaviors, animism of the body, overwhelm, dopamine, relationships and finally cultivating a fascinating life. They will also teach how to leverage balancing foods, and how to consciously use stimulants.The gift of ADHD is a low capacity for bullsh*t, or as Luis calls it RITC, a Radical Inability To Conform. Instead of seeing it as a disorder, we see it as the dopamine deficiency that it is, so that we can learn to relate to in a healthier way.

Opioids, Methamphetamines & Benzodiazepines In Part 2 of our evidence-based series on substance use in pregnancy, we're diving into substances that often come with the most fear—and the most misinformation. In this episode, we cover: Opioids (including prescription pain medications, heroin, and fentanyl) Stimulants, including methamphetamine Benzodiazepines (such as Xanax, Ativan, and Klonopin) We break down what the medical research actually shows about how these substances can affect pregnancy, the fetus, and the newborn—without judgment, shame, or scare tactics. We also talk about neonatal abstinence syndrome, treatment options during pregnancy, and why supportive, medically guided care leads to better outcomes for both parent and baby. Whether you're pregnant, supporting someone who is, or simply want reliable information, this episode is about replacing fear with facts and stigma with science.

Coffee is comforting. Familiar. For many of us, it's the unofficial start button for the day. But have you ever paused to wonder whether your daily caffeine habit is truly supporting your health—or simply helping you push through exhaustion? In this episode, we take an honest, balanced look at caffeine from a Christian, whole-person perspective. We'll talk about the potential benefits, the possible downsides, and how caffeine can affect sleep, stress, mood, and even our sense of freedom. This conversation is for Christian women who want to care for their bodies with wisdom and discernment. The goal isn't to shame coffee drinkers or create fear—it's to help you slow down, think clearly, and consider what's best for your body and season of life. What Caffeine Really Is Caffeine is often treated as harmless and normal, but it's technically considered a stimulant that affects the nervous system. It naturally occurs in coffee beans, tea leaves, and cacao, and it's also manufactured and added to many processed foods and drinks. Most of us think of caffeine as something found only in coffee or soda. But it also shows up in places like: Energy drinks Pain relievers Chocolate and candy Certain gums and mints Even some personal care products In the United States, the majority of adults consume caffeine every day, often without giving it much thought. The Helpful Side of Caffeine Caffeine isn't automatically “bad.” Used in reasonable amounts, it can offer real benefits, such as: Feeling more awake and alert Sharper reaction time Short-term mental focus Extra stamina for certain tasks Occasional support with pain relief For some women, a cup of coffee is simply enjoyable and fits well into a healthy lifestyle. The concern isn't caffeine itself. The concern is how easily it can become a crutch instead of a choice. The Possible Downsides What gives you energy in the morning can also interfere with your body in ways you might not notice right away. Regular caffeine use has been linked with things like: Trouble falling or staying asleep Higher stress and anxiety levels Changes in heart rate and blood pressure Feeling wired but tired Increased irritability Negative effects for sensitive individuals One of the biggest traps is the cycle many women get stuck in: Not enough sleep → more caffeine → worse sleep → even more caffeine. Over time, caffeine can become both the thing you rely on for energy and the very thing stealing your rest. Dependence Is More Common Than We Realize Most people don't think of caffeine as something you can be dependent on. But many experience real physical effects when they stop using it. Common symptoms after cutting back include: Headaches Low energy Difficulty focusing Mood changes Feeling achy or “off” Because these feelings are uncomfortable, it's easy to reach for more coffee just to avoid them. That's how a simple habit can slowly turn into something we feel controlled by. A Faith-Centered Lens on Coffee and Caffeine As Christian women, we're invited to live with freedom and wisdom in every area of life—including our daily habits. Scripture offers this gentle reminder: “All things are lawful for me, but not all things are helpful… I will not be dominated by anything.” – 1 Corinthians 6:12 Coffee may be permissible. Caffeine may be socially normal. But a better question is: Is it truly helpful for you right now? If you feel like you can't function without caffeine, or you're using it to ignore exhaustion instead of listening to your body, that may be worth bringing before the Lord. Your body was designed for rhythms of rest and restoration. Stimulants can't replace what real sleep and peace provide. Time-Stamped Highlights 00:00 – An honest conversation about America's favorite legal drug 01:00 – Understanding what caffeine actually is 02:00 – Surprising places caffeine can be found 03:20 – How caffeine can create a sleep cycle problem 03:45 – Possible benefits of moderate caffeine use 04:10 – Potential effects on the heart and stress levels 05:00 – Special concerns for pregnancy, breastfeeding, and children 07:20 – How caffeine withdrawal can show up 09:40 – Why caffeine often masks deeper fatigue 10:15 – A biblical perspective on being mastered by habits 11:10 – Ways to evaluate your own caffeine use Key Takeaways Caffeine can be useful—but it can also quietly interfere with sleep and stress. Many people rely on caffeine more than they realize. More coffee isn't always the answer to low energy. Each woman's body responds differently—discernment matters. Faith invites us to care for our bodies with intention, not autopilot. Instead of asking, “Am I allowed to drink coffee?” consider asking: “Is this helping me thrive—or just helping me keep going when I need rest?” If this episode made you pause and think about your own habits—whether with caffeine, sleep, stress, or energy—you don't have to sort it all out alone. I offer one-on-one Health Clarity Sessions where we slow everything down and talk through what's really going on in your life and your body. These sessions are gentle, practical, and focused on helping you feel calm and confident about your next steps. No pressure. No complicated plans. Just a peaceful space to get clear.

Kattakuzhy, MD, joins “The UMB Pulse” this month to talk about her research exploring whether semaglutide (a GLP-1 medication widely used for diabetes and weight management) could help reduce cravings and improve outcomes for people with stimulant use disorder.Kattakuzhy, who is also the co-director of the Kahlert Institute for Addiction Medicine at UMSOM, describes the design of the STAC Study, which is evaluating the safety and tolerability of semaglutide in people with cocaine use disorder, including participants with and without HIV, while also tracking secondary outcomes such as changes in drug use and cravings.She also discusses why stimulant use disorders, including cocaine and methamphetamine use disorder, have been especially challenging to treat, and how her work through the University of Maryland, Baltimore community-based research partnerships aims to expand treatment options and reduce stigma around substance use disorders.To learn more about this trial or for referrals, contact Dr. Kattakuzhy at skattakuzhy@ihv.umaryland.edu.00:00 Introduction to Addiction and New Research00:40 Meet Dr. Sarah Kattakuzhy01:45 A Day in the Life of Dr. Kattakuzhy03:57 The Journey to Addiction Research07:40 Exploring Semaglutides for Addiction Treatment12:34 Details of the Clinical Trial20:29 Challenges and Hopes in Addiction Treatment24:31 Collaborations and Future Directions27:39 Final Thoughts and Takeaways32:13 Post-Interview InsightsListen to The UMB Pulse on Apple, Spotify, Amazon Music, and wherever you like to listen.

In youth, binge eating is often marked by loss of control eating (LOC-E), defined as difficulty stopping eating and persistent, compulsive food-seeking behaviors that occur even in the absence of physical hunger. In this podcast, Dr. Aaron Keshen discusses his article, titled, "Reduction of Loss of Control Eating in Youth With Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder Following Initiation of Stimulant Medication: A Prospective Study." In their article, the authors describe a prospective observational study that aimed to examine changes in LOC-E over a 3-month period in youth with comorbid attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder and LOC-E who initiated stimulant medication.   The other authors are Colby Price, Elena Koning, Anastasia L. Harris, Nami Trappenberg, Anja Hilbert, Sara Bartel, Jill Chorney, Laura Dixon, Joseph Sadek, Guido K.W. Frank, Victoria Taylor, Wanda Rasmussen, Hanif Chatur, Drew Yamada, and Stuart B. Murray. The article is published in the January-February 2026 issue of The Journal of Clinical Psychopharmacology. doi: 10.1097/JCP.0000000000002106

Dr. Martin Picard, PhD, is a professor of behavioral medicine at Columbia University and an expert on how our behaviors and psychology shape cellular energy production and rates of aging. He explains that your mitochondria don't just “make energy”; they translate what you do—your mindset and your relationships—into the energy you experience as vitality or lack thereof. He explains how exercise, nutrition, sleep, meditation, and even certain thought patterns and our sense of purpose can charge our cells like batteries. He also shares findings that hair greying is the result of cellular stress and is reversible. This episode links physical and mental ‘energy' with cellular energy and provides science-supported tools to improve your physical and mental health. Read the episode show notes at hubermanlab.com.

Join our champion program: mark@themomentumcompany.comAttend a Thriving Leader event: https://www.themomentumcompany.com/thrivingleader2026Instagram: @the.momentum.companyLinkedIn: /momentum-companyIn this episode, Mark Jewell sits down with Darin Moon, founder and CEO of Redox, a family-run ag innovation company with over 30 years of scientific research behind it. What started as one farmer's frustration with inefficient nutrient delivery has grown into a powerhouse of patented plant science that's reshaping how agriculture uses inputs like nitrogen.Darin shares how he went from a single patent idea to founding Redox, a business now producing breakthrough biological products — including a nitrogen-optimization technology capable of cutting fertilizer needs by up to 50%.Whether you lead a legacy operation, an ag startup, or a team in transition, this episode is a deep dive into intentional leadership, creative problem-solving, resilient family culture, and a passion for changing agriculture from the inside out.Key Takeaways:1. Intentionality Starts with AuthenticityTo Darin, leading with intention means being genuine, focused, and rooted in truth. He refuses to pretend or posture — the work is too important for ego.2. Innovation Happens When You Integrate — Not Just InventDarin fused insights from both organic and conventional methods to create something new — ways of making nutrient inputs go further by activating specific plant processes. His patented nitrogen-optimization breakthrough isn't just theoretical; it's backed by more than a decade of trials and scientific validation.(Learn more about Redox's nitrogen-optimization technology, “RDX-N,” by visiting the Product section of their website.)3. Resilience + Faith = LegacyIt took 394 experiments before Darin landed his first patent — a story of persistence that's become a core value at Redox. But what makes this story powerful is the way Darin integrated faith, family, and business so none had to be sacrificed to grow the others.4. Build Businesses that Work for PeopleAs a family-operated company, Redox prioritizes values over valuation. Their team operates with deep loyalty and intentional culture — not because it's fashionable, but because it's who they are at home and at work.5. Self-Care Isn't Optional — It's a Leadership RequirementDarin's personal routine includes physical training, a cold plunge, red light therapy, and scripture reflection — all before 8 AM. His advice is simple: "If you're not showing up whole, what are you really building?"Notable Quotes:“You can't be an organic farmer just for the label — you have to be one with a purpose.” – Darin Moon“A plant doesn't care if the nitrogen is organic or conventional — it cares how well it can use it.” – Darin Moon“The number one product in agriculture is still people.” – Darin Moon“Leadership at home is just as real as leadership at work. And it might be more important.” – Mark Jewell“You don't get to skip the hard parts and still expect the breakthrough.” – Darin MoonAction Steps:Audit your own leadership for intentionality: are you showing up with clarity and focus — or just moving fast?Check if your company values are real or just words: would your...

About two years ago, I started ADHD stimulant medication as a regular (most days) thing. I've mentioned it here and there on the podcast. This is my most concentrated "review" of the main things I've noticed over the past two years. To be clear, when I mention a factor that might make stimulant meds more of a burnout risk, I'm not saying those folks shouldn't try it! Just to be very careful not to push through the body's capacity. Mentioned in episode: Mattia interviewed on Chris Wells' & Marni Kammersell's new podcast, PDA: Resistance and Resilience.

Is ADHD really a brain disorder or a label created to sell drugs? Dr. Roger McFillin speaks with filmmaker Roman Wyden, founder of the ADHD Is Over movement- that includes a book, podcast and upcoming documentary.  Roman shares why he rejected the ADHD label for his son and what he uncovered about the system behind it: schools, pharma, and psychiatry pushing parents toward pills. Together they expose how 6 million children in America are prescribed stimulants like Adderall and Ritalin, the billion-dollar ADHD industry that profits from it, and why more parents are waking up and saying: ADHD is over.ADHD is OVER Website Visit Center for Integrated Behavioral HealthDr. Roger McFillin / Radically Genuine WebsiteYouTube @RadicallyGenuineDr. Roger McFillin (@DrMcFillin) / XSubstack | Radically Genuine | Dr. Roger McFillinInstagram @radicallygenuineContact Radically GenuineConscious Clinician CollectivePLEASE SUPPORT OUR PARTNERS15% Off Pure Spectrum CBD (Code: RadicallyGenuine)10% off Lovetuner click here

Contingency Management for Stimulant Use Disorder and Association With Mortality: A Cohort Study American Journal of Psychiatry This national retrospective cohort study found that veterans with stimulant use disorder who received contingency management (CM) were 41% less likely to die in the year following treatment initiation relative to matched comparison subjects. These findings provide the strongest real-world evidence to date that CM is associated with reduced all-cause mortality, underscoring its potential as a life-saving intervention in routine care. Results support expanding access to CM across healthcare systems and public health settings.   Read this issue of the ASAM Weekly Subscribe to the ASAM Weekly Visit ASAM

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.

In this Huberman Lab Essentials episode, I explain how to build endurance and describe targeted protocols to enhance different types of endurance. I discuss how endurance—the ability to sustain effort—requires the coordination of physical and mental systems driven by energy availability, brain willpower, and specific training adaptations in the muscles, heart, lungs and neurons. I explain conditioning protocols designed to enhance four types of endurance, from long-duration steady state to muscular endurance and high-intensity intervals, and how each training style triggers unique adaptations in the body and brain, such as improved mitochondrial function and oxygen utilization. Additionally, I highlight the crucial role of hydration and electrolytes, which are essential for neural function and influence the brain's willpower to sustain effort.

My guest is Dr. Chris Palmer, M.D., a board-certified psychiatrist and professor at Harvard Medical School. He explains how specific nutrition, exercise, supplement-based, and other factors can improve mitochondrial health and thereby provide relief from adult and childhood ADHD, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, and symptoms of autism. We discuss mitochondrial biology, whether vaccines can impact inflammation and mitochondrial health, and the potential ramifications. We also review creatine, methylene blue, and urolithin A, as well as the role of B vitamins and iron in treating depression. By the end of this episode, you will understand the powerful link between metabolic health and mental health, and the lifestyle, dietary, and other factors you can leverage to help overcome common mental health challenges and disorders.

America is facing a silent AND growing epidemic: the Adderall crisis. The use of this stimulant (and its generics) has exploded from 35.5 million prescriptions in 2019 to 45 million in 2022. But these numbers only scratch the surface. The DEA warns we're on the brink of our next drug crisis.  America is facing a silent AND growing epidemic: the Adderall crisis. The use of this stimulant (and its generics), known by street names like A-Train, Addy, Amps, Christmas Trees, Co-Pilots, Lid Poppers, Smarties, Study Buddies, and Study Skittles has exploded from 35.5 million prescriptions in 2019 to 45 million in 2022. But these numbers only scratch the surface. A dangerous black market has emerged, flooding streets with counterfeit pills indistinguishable from the real thing. Users, often unaware, risk their lives with every dose. Even legitimate prescriptions carry significant dangers. The DEA warns we're on the brink of our next drug crisis. With 5-6 million Americans using Adderall without proper diagnosis and one in four teens in some schools abusing prescription stimulants, we're watching a new generation spiral into un-prescribed/unneeded use and addiction.
