In this episode of the Love Mia Vita podcast, host Gerianne DiPiano sits down with licensed therapist and sex expert Dr. Juliana Hauser to examine the rising prevalence of substance use disorder (specifically alcohol use) among women. The conversation sheds light on the often-ignored sex-based and biological differences in how female bodies absorb alcohol, particularly during life transitions like perimenopause and menopause. They explore the psychological drivers that lead women to self-medicate for anxiety or life overload, how to honestly evaluate your own relationship with drinking, and the critical need to destigmatize the disease of addiction. Finally, the duo highlights pathways to recovery, emphasizing the profound benefits of combining medical detox and counseling with modern support systems like recovery coaching to build essential life skills and reclaim control.

Murrow Award for Excellence in Diversity, Equity and Inclusion, is presented with support from The Greater Kanawha Valley Foundation.

FILM FESTIVAL TICKETS: https://buytickets.at/thedopeyfoundation/2216905 PATREON: www.patreon.com/dopeypodcast Summary On this Dopey Monday Total Replay, Dave looks back at Dopey Episode 28, one of the strangest and creepiest early episodes of the show. It features Dave, Chris, and graphic-design Ryan — the guy who made the original Dopey logo — talking through old Lower East Side drug energy, the first major Dopey fan emails, weird ego stuff, drug stories, recovery, Rob Reiner, Nick Reiner, and a whole lot of eerie foreshadowing. Dave reflects on how painful it is to hear Chris again, knowing he died in 2018, and uses the episode to make a simple but brutal point: if Chris had stayed in recovery, he probably wouldn't have died. The replay itself is classic early Dopey: messy, funny, dark, uncomfortable, and weirdly prophetic. Ryan tells a story about refusing to leave a drug pickup even after a guy puts a gun to his head. Chris talks about addiction, genetics, rats drinking heroin water, and recovery. Dylan randomly calls in right as Dave is talking about Dylan from 90210, which feels like Dopey synchronicity. The episode also includes the first big fan email from Tina in Philadelphia, Dave getting wounded by being called “Dan,” and a long, now-haunting conversation about Rob Reiner and Nick Reiner before Nick ever appeared on Dopey. It's funny, painful, and very Dopey. PLUS Drugs, addiction and dumb shit on the new/old 10 year anniversary of this episode!(of Dopey)   Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Emergency physicians pride themselves on recognizing and treating life-threatening illness under pressure. Yet one of the most lethal, common, and treatable conditions presenting to our EDs still often receives fragmented, stigmatized care: substance use disorder. The opioid crisis has evolved into an era of increasingly toxic and unpredictable drug supplies, including ultra-potent synthetic opioids such as nitazenes. Between 2016 and 2021, more than 27,000 Canadians died from opioid toxicity, while opioid-related ED visits continue to rise sharply. Patients discharged with untreated opioid use disorder face mortality rates approaching 5% within 12 months. Despite this, substance use disorder is still not consistently approached with the same urgency and systems-based care as other chronic high-risk illnesses. In this episode, Dr. Bjug Borgundvaag, Tish Mizon and Kari Herbert discuss how stigma affects care in the ED and how trauma-informed communication, person-first language, compassionate care, peer navigators and Bridge-style addiction programs can improve outcomes for both patients and clinicians.
