Die Sportwelt diskutiert über ein Projekt, das polarisiert wie kaum etwas zuvor: die Enhanced Games in Las Vegas. In Folge 286 sprechen Michi und Vedat ausführlich darüber, warum dieses Konzept für viele ein Angriff auf die Grundwerte des Sports ist – und weshalb es aus ihrer Sicht um weit mehr geht als nur um leistungssteigernde Substanzen. Es geht um Fairness, Glaubwürdigkeit und die Frage, was sportliche Leistung überhaupt noch bedeutet. Ist das die Zukunft des Spitzensports oder schlicht der Verrat an allem, wofür Sport einmal stand?Außerdem werfen die beiden einen kurzen Blick auf den Ironman Lanzarote – traditionell eines der härtesten Rennen im Triathlon-Kalender. Besonders aus deutscher Sicht gab es starke Leistungen. Michi und Vedat analysieren die Rennen, ordnen Ergebnisse ein und sprechen darüber, warum Lanzarote jedes Jahr wieder eine ganz eigene Herausforderung darstellt.Und dann ist da natürlich noch das große Thema für viele in der Community: Raceweek beim MSR! Die Nervosität steigt, die letzten Einheiten stehen an und die Vorfreude wächst. Michi und Vedat sprechen über typische Raceweek-Fehler, mentale Vorbereitung, Tapering und alles, was Athletinnen und Athleten jetzt noch beachten sollten.Dazu gibt es einen Deep Dive in die Trainings-App Komoot. Gerade für Ausfahrten oder Läufe in unbekannten Regionen ist die App für viele inzwischen unverzichtbar geworden. Michi erzählt, warum er Komoot bereits seit fünf Jahren intensiv nutzt, wie ihn die App auf Reisen mit dem Wohnmobil unterstützt, und weshalb gute Navigation beim Training in unbekannten Gebieten oft unterschätzt wird.Eine Folge mit klaren Meinungen, Rennsport, Raceweek-Stimmung und jeder Menge Triathlon-Talk.

Thank you for listening today, friends: we've got Brenna Thiessen joining today from Calgary!Brenna shares her journey today from shy non-runner to run club leader hosting weekly events, shooting for a Boston, Chicago and New York qualifying time at the Calgary Marathon. She chats with us about her run journey, relocating to Calgary, stepping away from running, and the improbable way she became a run club host with her club, Fun Frugal Fridays.In today's episode, Brenna shares how her marathon goals evolved after her first race in Minneapolis, where she pushed through feeling terrible and still crossed the finish line proud. She breaks down her training approach, including navigating Calgary's unpredictable weather—from chinook warmth to snow in May—and the importance of heat and hydration strategies on race day. The importance of community is a theme that runs strong on this podcast, and today's episode doesn't disappoint. You'll hear the passion in her voice: discover the secret to making big life changes, from cross-country moves to launching a community organization, and how running has helped Brenna overcome shy tendencies and foster a sense of belonging. Whether you're just heading out for your first run, training for your first 10k or a seasoned runner, remember: it's all about taking that first step on the journey. Brenna's story is packed with practical tips on managing training while maintaining a healthy, balanced lifestyle, including diet hacks, cross-training, and the importance of asking for help. She exemplifies how embracing vulnerability and staying true to yourself unlocks opportunities beyond your wildest dreams.Connect with Brenna and join her Calgary run community on Instagram at @iambthiessen and @FunFrugalFridayRunnerWhat has running taught you about yourself?  #EvolvingAdventure #CalgaryMarathon #RunningCommunity #MarathonTraining #YYCRunCrew #BurritoLeagueTimestamps: 02:18 - Her personal best and recent race insights04:14 - Calgary marathon week festivities and community events06:33 - Insights on marathon participation rates and community size08:23 - Brenna's journey into running and overcoming health challenges11:55 - Starting and growing the Fun Frugal Friday run club13:36 - Managing weather challenges and event logistics in Calgary15:49 - Community engagement and demographic reach of her run groups17:50 - Participation during Calgary Stampede and weather considerations19:27 - Weather impact on training and race day prep21:04 - Tapering, race week activities, and marathon day plans22:37 - Cross-training, alternative activities, and recovery strategies23:37 - Nutrition, hydration, gels, and fueling for races26:35 - Transitioning into trail running and significant trail races29:45 - Challenge of trail running and race experiences like Minotaur35:19 - Embracing new opportunities and future race plans36:34 - Support systems, partnerships, and organizing community events40:40 - Skills needed to start and manage a run club43:36 - Moving from Vancouver to Calgary and lessons on making life changes46:15 - The importance of community, belonging, and personal growth48:22 - Advice to follow passions and staying true to oneself49:47 - Connecting with Brenna and her Calgary run communityResources & Links:Fun Frugal Friday Run ClubBrenna Thiessen on InstagramLululemon CalgaryPrimal Sauna & Cold PlungeRun CalgaryBurrito LeagueMinotaur RaceBMO Vancouver Half MarathonConnect with Brenna:Instagram - @iambthiessen or @funfrugalfridayrunners

With the Calgary marathon and Unbound 200 coming up, we (Alex and Meredith) are both in full on taper mode. Tapering is one of the most effective ways to get the most out of your training leading into a race but it doesn't happen without some mental and sometimes physical difficulty. This episode covers the science of tapering and how it works in practice. And in the spirit of mentally challenging situations, we tell the funny and emotionally fraught stories of Meredith's recent experience with scammers.

Most runners focus on training mileage, but the real performance breakthrough happens in the days before the race. Recovery is not a passive process. It is an active, intentional strategy that determines how your body adapts, stores energy, and performs under pressure. In the lead-up to the Sanlam Cape Town Marathon, understanding how to taper correctly, fuel effectively, and manage your nervous system can be the difference between hitting the wall and finishing strong. This is the phase where smart runners separate themselves from the rest. Fitness presenter and mental fitness coach Liezel van der Westhuizen joins Africa Melane to unpack the critical role of recovery before race day. With insights grounded in endurance training, stress physiology, and real-world racing experience, she explains how to manage taper anxiety, optimise sleep, and avoid common mistakes that leave runners fatigued before they even start. If you want to feel prepared, powerful, and mentally sharp on race day, this is the guidance you cannot afford to miss.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

A benzodiazepine taper can feel like trying to land a plane in bad weather: the stakes are high, the instruments are imperfect, and speed is rarely your friend. We sit down with Dr. Rizzo to translate the ASAM benzodiazepine tapering guideline into real-world addiction medicine decisions, including what to do when a patient shows up on a very high dose of clonazepam and a sudden 50% cut has already happened.We dig into the practical details clinicians and patients search for: how fast to reduce dose, why “5% to 10% every 2–4 weeks” is often a safer starting point, and when switching to a longer-acting benzodiazepine like diazepam helps or hurts. We also separate physical dependence from benzodiazepine use disorder so withdrawal is treated with seriousness rather than stigma, and we talk candidly about the access-to-care problem when long-term benzo patients can no longer find a prescriber.We also cover special risks and settings: why older adults (65+) often need extra-slow tapers, why pregnancy requires careful coordination to avoid abrupt cessation, and when polysubstance use with opioids or alcohol should push care toward inpatient or residential support. Dr. Rizzo shares why phenobarbital can be useful in controlled detox settings, plus what actually improves success long term: CBT, treating underlying anxiety and insomnia with non-addictive medications, and building a plan patients can stick with.If this helps, subscribe, share it with a colleague or family member, and leave a review so more people can find evidence-based guidance on benzodiazepine tapering and withdrawal.ASAM Benzo Tapering Guideline: https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s11606-025-09499-2To contact Dr. Grover: ammadeeasy@fastmail.com

"Do I have to take these meds forever?" It's the most common question psychiatrists hear, but the answer is rarely a simple yes or no. In this episode, hosts Gabe Howard (living with bipolar) and Dr. Nicole Washington (board-certified psychiatrist) dive into the risks, the realities, and the honest conversations most doctors avoid when it comes to stopping bipolar medication. They break down why "cold turkey" is a recipe for disaster and explain the equally dangerous "hot turkey" otherwise known as restarting a full medication cocktail after a long break. Gabe shares his own journey of switching doctors to find a specialist in titration, illustrating the difference between "Mercedes Benz care" and trying to navigate a "hoopty" ride on your own. Dr. Nicole explains the science of brain receptors, the logistical hurdles of compounding pharmacies, and why the medical community is often resistant to "deprescribing." Listeners Will Learn: ·  Instead of "stopping" try reframing the conversation as "decreasing reliance" ·  Why lowering your medication slowly gives you better results ·  Finding a psych doctor who understands "deprescribing" may take time ·  A successful, safe medication adjustment can take a year or more—it is a marathon, not a sprint  Whether you're struggling with side effects like brain fog and sexual dysfunction or you simply want to feel more in control, this episode offers a roadmap for having an honest, data-driven conversation with your treatment team. Learn why "decreasing reliance" on medication is often a more successful goal than quitting entirely, and how to treat bumps in the road as data points rather than failures. "Most people think stopping meds is like flipping a light switch—on Monday you're on them, and on Tuesday you're not. But in reality, it's a slow, medical taper. It's more accurate to describe this as 'decreasing our reliance' rather than just quitting, so we can actually see what the data tells us." ~Gabe Howard, Host Our host, Gabe Howard, is an award-winning podcast host, author, and sought-after suicide prevention and mental health speaker, but he wouldn't be any of those things today if he hadn't been committed to a psychiatric hospital in 2003.Gabe also hosts Healthline's Inside Mental Health podcast has appeared in numerous publications, including Bipolar magazine, WebMD, Newsweek, and the Stanford Online Medical Journal. He has appeared on all four major TV networks, ABC, NBC, CBS, and FOX. Among his many awards, he is the recipient of Mental Health America's Norman Guitry Award, received two Webby Honoree acknowledgements, and received an official resolution from the Governor of Ohio naming him an “Everyday Hero.” Gabe wrote the popular book, "Mental Illness is an Asshole and other Observations," available from Amazon; signed copies are available directly from the author with free swag included! To learn more about Gabe, or to book him for your next event, please visit his website, gabehoward.com. Our host, Dr. Nicole Washington, is a native of Baton Rouge, Louisiana, where she attended Southern University and A&M College. After receiving her BS degree, she moved to Tulsa, Oklahoma to enroll in the Oklahoma State University College of Osteopathic Medicine. She completed a residency in psychiatry at the University of Oklahoma in Tulsa. Since completing her residency training, Dr. Nicole has spent most of her career caring for and being an advocate for those who are not typically consumers of mental health services, namely underserved communities, those with severe mental health conditions, and high performing professionals. Through her private practice, podcast, speaking, and writing, she seeks to provide education to decrease the stigma associated with psychiatric conditions. Find out more at DrNicolePsych.com.

Boston ruft – und Hendrik ist voller Vorfreude.Die Woche vor dem großen Showdown beim Boston Marathon läuft – und einer ist sowas von bereit: Hendrik hat seine Hausaufgaben gemacht, ist topfit und spürbar heiß auf das Rennen. Tapering? Läuft. Form? Sitzt.Und als wäre das nicht schon genug, geht's nebenbei noch kurz ins Fernsehen: Gemeinsam mit Esther schnuppern die Pfeiffers Promi-Luft beim Sat.1 Frühstücksfernsehen. Marathon-Vorbereitung trifft Medienzirkus – auch das gehört manchmal dazu.Währenddessen ballert Schmidti einfach mal entspannt 90 Kilometer durch die Woche. Stabil, aber auch ordentlich müde in den Knochen. Zwischen Trainingsalltag und Erschöpfung stellt sich die Frage:Wie baut man Pausentage sinnvoll ein? Und was tun, wenn die Intervalle einfach nicht zünden wollen?Eine Folge zwischen Boston-Fieber, TV-Auftritt und Trainingsrealität.Also: Schuhe an, Kopf frei – und mit uns raus auf die Strecke.

In dieser Folge geht es um die finale Phase der Marathonvorbereitung – die Tage, in denen alles zusammenkommt.

In this episode, Dr. Puder sits down with Franciska de Beer, MSc, first author of landmark HAMLETT-OPHELIA Consortium papers in JAMA Psychiatry, World Psychiatry, and Psychological Medicine. They dive deep into the psychiatrist effect in first-episode psychosis, revealing that individual psychiatrists explain approximately 10% of variance in positive symptom improvement and daily functioning, even after controlling for medication dose. The conversation explores groundbreaking HAMLETT findings on early antipsychotic tapering versus maintenance, dopamine supersensitivity after high-affinity D2 blockers, sex differences in treatment outcomes and clozapine levels during menopause, and why shared decision-making and reflective functioning matter more than ever in psychosis care.   By listening to this episode, you can earn 1.25 Psychiatry CME Credits.

Tapering is reducing volume while maintaining intensity. Deloading is drop volume and intensity. Remember form = fitness minus fatigue. Timestamps 00:45 How fit are you to race and train? Three ideas for your race preparation - taper compared to deloading; the form formula explained; and a practical taper blueprint. When you ease off training do you feel flat and slow in the boat? A taper is pre-competition where you reduce volume but increase the intensity of your workouts. The conclusion is to arrive at the race feeling fresh and you haven't lost your sharpness. A deload is a recovery strategy where you reduce both volume and intensity. This lets your body get more rest during a hard training block. They feel similar but the effect is different. 03:45 What is rowing form? Fitness rises lowly and fades slowly - notice this if you have time off. You can come back to the level of fitness you had before the break quickly. Fatigue is the acute training load which is on top of your fitness. Form is what's left when we clear out the fatigue - the fitness available to you on race day. As masters our fatigue can be amplified as it takes us longer to recover. A taper keeps your fitness steady and rapidly drops your fatigue - think of your fitness as a glass of water and the fatigue is a layer of mud sitting on the top surface of the water. Clear away the mud and you can access your fitness reserves. 06:00 Taper blueprint All Faster Masters Rowing training programs include tapers for the major masters rowing races and months of the year. Most masters only peak with a taper twice a year - a long distance race and a sprint 1k race. In the taper we cut volume by 40-50% across the taper period. Shorter sessions but nearly every session has elements at or above race pace e.g. racing starts practice. Do not add in anything new in a taper week - no new equipment, drills or nutrition changes. The urge to train more during the taper because you feel flat during the mid-taper. This urge is nearly always long and you'll feel flat in days 2-4 as your fatigue is clearing. Remember you aren't losing fitness. For multi-day regattas start the taper one week before your first race. Review your race week training and plan how you are going to manage your fatigue. Your taper is a way on collecting on what you've already earned in your training.

Welcome to the Mad in America podcast, my name is James. Today, we are discussing the experiences of people who have attempted to stop taking psychiatric drugs. These experiences are captured in a survey undertaken by the School of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences, Trinity College, Dublin, Ireland. Joining me to talk about this work are Cathal Cadogan and Agnes Higgins, both from Trinity College. Cathal is an Associate Professor in Practice of Pharmacy at Trinity College. His research focuses on developing supports to help people make informed decisions about starting and stopping psychiatric medication. He was recently involved in a priority setting partnership to identify priorities for future research on reducing and discontinuing psychiatric medicines. Agnes is a nurse, researcher and academic who has recently retired as a professor in mental health at the School of Nursing and Midwifery at Trinity College. She is a former Chairperson of the Board of Mental Health Reform, Ireland's leading service user organization, campaigning for improvements in mental health services. She is also currently a board member of Kyrie Farm, an innovative initiative combining the benefits of nature, meaningful participation, community and therapy to support mental health recovery. Their work is part of a wider examination of priorities for future research on reducing and stopping psychiatric medication, and we'll talk about this as well as the findings of their survey. We'll also talk about the role that pharmacists could potentially play when people are considering stopping their psychiatric drugs. *** Thank you for being with us to listen to the podcast and read our articles this year.

Dr. McFillin was a guest on the popular Health Ranger Report. This is the full interview. He was joined by Tracy Thurman-a person of faith until a cardiologist—not a psychiatrist—put her on Prozac for "energy." Within weeks, her connection to God vanished. She became a materialist atheist for seven years. In this episode, Tracy and Dr. McFillin expose what they call the psychiatric industrial complex's "spiritual weapon of war"—and why these drugs are designed to make you feel dead inside and that experience is measured as "working". A fascinating episode featuring a topic rarely discussed.

In this engaging conversation, Shelby and Courtney chat with runDisney lover Meghan Swope about her journey into running, particularly her experiences with completing her second Dopey Challenge at Walt Disney World. They discuss the challenges of running in extreme weather (Florida sun!!), the importance of training, and the sense of community that comes with participating in races. Meghan shares her motivations for running, the significance of medals, and how her goals have evolved over time. The conversation highlights the joy and camaraderie found in the runDisney community, making it an inspiring listen for both seasoned runners and newcomers alike. In this conversation, Meghan Swope shares her journey through marathon training, emphasizing the discipline required and the balance between social life and running. She discusses her philosophy on training distances, the mental barriers runners face, and her experiences in international marathons. Meghan highlights the importance of community and support in achieving personal goals, encouraging others to embrace challenges and find their own paths in running and life.   Takeaways Meghan started running in 2012 after a bad breakup. The Dopey challenge includes running multiple races over a weekend. Extreme weather can significantly impact race conditions and outcomes. Training is crucial for building endurance and mental strength. Running events create a sense of community and celebration. Medals serve as tangible rewards for hard work and achievement. Motivation can fluctuate during training and races. The camaraderie among runners enhances the experience. Completing a race is a significant accomplishment, regardless of distance. Future goals can evolve based on experiences and themes of races. New York was the most disciplined I've ever been with training. I don't think you should ever go above 20 miles in training. Tapering is crucial before a marathon. Training for a marathon is like a part-time job. You have to commit to your training schedule. You can shift your long runs around social events. You hold yourself back more than circumstances do. Meeting new people during races can lead to great friendships. Fueling strategies can vary by country. It's important to enjoy the journey and the community. 

¿Cómo deberías entrenar los 7-14 días previos a una competición para evitar perder el trabajo realizado? En este episodio del podcast hablamos de tapering con una mirada crítica y basada en evidencia científica, lejos de recetas mágicas y porcentajes universales. Junto a Irati Ortiz de Anda Martín, analizamos qué es realmente el tapering hoy, por qué funciona en algunos casos y en otros no, y qué dice la literatura cuando se estudia con detalle el rendimiento real (no solo marcadores fisiológicos). Temas que abordamos: Qué se entiende actualmente por tapering y qué no. Qué variables se suelen reducir (volumen, intensidad, frecuencia) y con qué consecuencias. Qué nos dicen (y qué no) los estudios clásicos y actuales. Por qué no existe una fórmula única válida para todos los deportistas. El papel de la fatiga acumulada, la trayectoria previa y el contexto individual. Cuándo el tapering no funciona (y por qué). Si es obligatorio hacer tapering para competir. Ejemplos prácticos en asfalto, trail y ultra trail, basados en experiencia real. Un episodio pensado para deportistas y entrenadores que quieren entender el por qué detrás de las decisiones, no solo el qué hacer.

On this episode of The Aluna Experience Podcast, I talk to William who shares his first time journeying with both Ayahuasca and San PedroWilliam is a curious soul who answered the call to commune with plant medicine to better understand himself after a called off engagement and a career turn. He shares his experience tapering off of anti depressants and what it was like being able to feel again.He shares the impact of breathwork—uncovering pent-up anger, resentment, and sadness. His experience with ayahuasca— a gentle journey that revealed who he was beyond his conditioned identities and stories, and San Pedro— a harrowing journey of surrender that taught him to allow himself to be cared for.alunahealingcenter.com@aluna_healing_centerbrianahata.com@bri.anahata

In this episode, I break down how I approach tapering for big efforts, especially an Ironman. We talk about pulling back volume and intensity without losing fitness, handling the mental itch to keep pushing, and why that restraint actually sets you up to win. I also walk through how I set up my carb load to top off muscle glycogen so I'm not leaving anything on the table. I share what's worked, what hasn't, and the practical strategies I use so you show up on race day.CHAPTERS:00:00 Introduction01:15 The Importance of Tapering03:46 Defining a Taper06:40 Benefits of a Proper Taper18:34 Common Mistakes During Tapering29:11 Setting Up a Proper Taper33:10 Tapering Training Volume35:21 Race Week Training Schedule36:26 Experiencing the Taper46:35 Carbohydrate Loading Strategy58:28 Final Thoughts on Tapering and Carb LoadingORDER MY BOOK HERE:https://www.amazon.com/Go-One-More-Intentional-Life-Changing/dp/1637746210FOLLOW:Become a BPN member FOR FREE - Unlock 20% off FOR LIFEhttps://bpn.team/memberIG: instagram.com/nickbarefitness/YT: youtube.com/@nickbarefitness

In this conversation, The doctors discusses the implications of long-term use of Proton Pump Inhibitors (PPIs), their efficacy, risks, and the importance of tapering off these medications. The discussion covers the physiological effects of PPIs, the necessity of addressing underlying causes of reflux, and the potential for natural and herbal alternatives to support patients in tapering off PPIs. The conversation emphasizes the importance of patient education and the need for a gradual approach to discontinuing PPIs to avoid rebound symptoms.TakeawaysPPIs are effective for short-term use but not for long-term.Tapering off PPIs should take three to six months.Natural alternatives can help manage reflux symptoms.Melatonin can improve lower esophageal sphincter function.Nutrient deficiencies are a risk with long-term PPI use.DGL has been shown to improve quality of life in patients.Patient education is crucial in managing PPI use.Underlying causes of reflux should be addressed.Herbal remedies can provide additional support during tapering.A gradual tapering process is essential to avoid rebound symptoms.

No one should tell you to get off your medication; that is a decision that needs to happen with you and your health care professional. Let's talk about the Ashton Manual and The Maudsley Deprescribing Guidelines. Schedule an Appointment with Dr. Lisa

Thinking about reducing or stopping psychiatric medication? It may not be the right approach for everyone, but for someone considering it, there's much to keep in mind.For instance, many individuals who adopt ketogenic therapy and other metabolic strategies often find themselves in need of reducing medication. But how can they do it safely and with minimal risk?In part 2 of our 2-part series on med tapering, Dr. Bret Scher and ‪@GeorgiaEdeMD‬ dive deep into how to safely and effectively taper psychiatric medications, offering guidance, caution, and hope for those exploring this path.Tapering antidepressants, antipsychotics, or mood stabilizers can be one of the most complex challenges in mental health care and it can come with serious risks. Dr. Ede breaks down what most clinicians miss about withdrawal, and why “slow and steady” isn't just advice, it's a necessity. She also explains how strategies like ketogenic therapy and other lifestyle interventions can support brain stability during the process.In this episode, you'll learn:✅ Why individuals are looking to reduce or remove medication✅ The potential risks of not safely tapering✅ The “no sudden movements” rule and the concept of hyperbolic tapering✅ Tools and resources for safer dose reductions (compounding pharmacies, taper strips, and more)✅ How to increase your chances of feeling better with no or less medication✅ The role of metabolic health, nutrition, sleep, and stress management in effective tapering✅ What to do if your doctor is hesitant or resistant to adjusting your medication✅ Why you may want to consider avoiding supplementing during a taper

Psychiatric medications have become a standard of care for many mental illnesses. For some, these medications can be life-changing. For others, they may offer little relief, cause intolerable side effects, lose effectiveness over time, or even worsen symptoms.Regardless, many individuals eventually seek to reduce or discontinue psychiatric medication use—often without adequate support. Unfortunately, most clinicians receive limited training in how to guide patients through safe, personalized tapering protocols and the existing guidelines often fail to reflect real-world experiences.In part one of our new two-part series, Dr. Bret Scher and psychiatrist Dr. Georgia Ede delve into a critical yet under-discussed topic: how to taper psychiatric medications safely.In this episode, you'll learn:Why people consider tapering (side effects, loss of benefit, life changes, etc.)Why safe psychiatric medication tapering is importantHow the brain adapts to meds (homeostasis) and how that impacts taper speedWhy personalization in medication management is importantHow to tell the difference between withdrawal and a true relapseHow to prepare: education, team support, and trusted resourcesAlmost everyone will need to adjust the dose of a medication at some point, even if only to try a different medication. Some will want to try to come off psychiatric meds entirely. It's not a journey to take alone. Safe tapering is not a DIY process. We strongly encourage working with a knowledgeable healthcare provider who can help you personalize the approach, choosing the right pace, plan, and monitoring strategies to protect your health. In addition, we recommend resources below that can help.The goal isn't simply to stop a medication, it's to feel and function at your best. And the safest route is the one that's tailored to you.
