Zach sits down with Deborah Rozman, Ph.D. and Howard Martin, the married couple who have led HeartMath Institute since its founding in 1991. Zach came in curious after hearing his mentor Terry Real rave about HeartMath at a Relational Life Institute faculty meeting, and he opens the conversation admitting he still does not fully understand what it is or how it works. Howard and Deborah, who are married to each other and have built HeartMath's research and technology together for over three decades, walk him through it from both a science angle and a lived-in-a-marriage angle.The conversation moves from the physiology, heart rate variability, coherence, the connection between the physical and emotional heart, into a story about a couple named Tammy and Raynor who came to Deborah through the Dr. Phil Show on the edge of divorce and, after learning to get into a coherent state individually before talking to each other, fell back in love within a handful of sessions. Deborah also teaches a version of the Quick Coherence technique live on air. Howard, meanwhile, shares the three things he actually practices in his own marriage: looking at himself first instead of blaming Deborah, staying neutral instead of jumping to judgment, and what he calls compassionate latitude, stretching compassion further than feels automatic.What makes this one land is that Howard and Deborah are not just explaining a technology, they are describing how they have stayed married and mostly conflict free for 36 years using it. Zach's own admission, that a bad afternoon of tech problems left him dysregulated for four days, gives the science somewhere real to land. Listeners get both the research behind why nervous system regulation changes how couples fight and a technique they can use in the next argument.Key TakeawaysYour nervous system state, not your communication skills, often determines how a conversation with your partner actually goesGetting yourself into a calm, coherent state before you try to talk about a conflict changes the outcome more than any script or toolA couple on the brink of divorce turned things around by learning to self-regulate individually before communicating with each other at allCompassionate latitude means stretching your compassion further than the point where you normally shut it off, especially with the person closest to youWhen something feels off in a relationship, look at your own contribution first before looking at your partnerNeutral is not passive, it is a highly aware state that has not yet rushed to judge something as good or badYour heart rhythm is picked up by people near you, even without touching, so the state you walk into a room with mattersQuick Coherence, heart-focused breathing paired with a feeling of genuine gratitude, is simple enough to use in the middle of an argumentGuest InfoDeborah Rozman, Ph.D., is President and co-CEO of HeartMath, a behavioral psychologist who helped found the Institute of HeartMath in 1991 and helped develop the emWave and Inner Balance heart rate variability technologies.

Caller Questions & Discussion: Marc shares that depending on one's attachment style, each person may respond differently to change. Growth always requires a risk. If you’re stuck in a relational cycle of doom, where will you be a year from now? Should I stay in a 36-year marriage when my husband keeps giving his family members money without discussing it with me? Yesterday, I discovered that he's continued to do it. What should I do if I still get bullied by my ex-husband who divorced me 20 years ago? My 44-year-old daughter spent time in a behavioral health hospital when my ex-husband and I were still co-parenting. But she divorced in April, and my ex's bullying continues. How do I go about rebuilding intimacy in my 33-year marriage? As my husband has put on weight, is it a medical problem or a mental health issue? I feel like if I talk about it with him, he'll pull away. My father died three weeks ago, and my brother is the executor for my father’s estate. He won’t let me look at the will; how do I deal with him?

Narcissism is usually imagined as arrogance, dominance, and the loudest person in the room, but it is not always that obvious. In this episode, Vanessa explores narcissism as a problem of selfhood: what happens when a person does not have a stable enough inner sense of Self to stay emotionally coherent without constant reflection from the outside. Through Kohut, Kernberg, the myth of Narcissus, vulnerable and grandiose narcissism, the false self, parental overvaluation, and the difference between traits and Narcissistic Personality Disorder, we look at why these dynamics can feel so confusing inside real relationships. The question is not only whether someone can be charming, wounded, or empathic when things are easy, but whether they can stay curious about your reality when it no longer mirrors back the version of themselves they need to see.For educational purposes only. This isn't therapy.Join Vanessa for the free Inner Compass Academy Summit, August 5–7, where we'll explore depth psychology, shadow, embodiment, and what real transformation asks of us.

Send us Fan MailWhen is surfactant "early," and when is it too early, or too late? In this second installment of our two-part series with the Neonatal Resuscitation Symposium, Ben Courchia sits down with Dr. Roger Soll, a leading voice in surfactant research since the 1980s, to trace how our thinking on timing has evolved, from aggressive prophylactic dosing to selective rescue therapy to today's less invasive approaches like LISA and SALSA. Dr. Soll unpacks why head-to-head trials keep favoring less invasive administration over InSurE, and how the rise of "nanopreemies" is quietly pulling the pendulum back toward earlier treatment. The conversation also touches on video laryngoscopy and aerosolized surfactant's unfulfilled promise. A candid, technically rich conversation for anyone who has stood at a warmer wondering whether, and when, to reach for surfactant. Dr. Soll expands on these themes at the Neonatal Resuscitation Symposium, September 10 to 11, 2026, at Indiana University School of Medicine.

Hi! It's me. This is the last bonus Voicenote Therapy episode of Dial Emma, combining my love of long voicenotes with therapeutic insights to create something new and, hopefully, helpful.This week, I'm sitting with something I thought was about rest, but turns out to be about permission. That moment at the end of a long day when you finally sit down, and instead of resting, you think: what have I forgotten? What else should I do?Why do we so often push rest to the bottom of the list, after everything and everyone else? How can we begin to recognise the subtle but important differences between 'stopping' and 'resting'? And why are so many of us keeping an invisible scoreboard, knowing that the game will never end?A thought to sit with: "You are not a machine that occasionally deserves maintenance. Your wellbeing is part of the work, not something you squeeze in afterwards."This week's practice: Rest without earning it first. Finish one thing less. Go to bed with a job still undone.Dial Emma is hosted by Emma Reed Turrell, produced by Lauren Brook.---Book my 2027 women's retreat at Bliss House in Crete: https://bliss-house-experience.replit.appSocial media:Emma Reed Turrell @emmareedturrellEmail: contact@dial-emma.uk

This is Part Two of Teens and Screens, and it's the counterweight. Last episode, Dr. Johann D'Souza made the case for keeping toxic screens out of your teenager's hands entirely. Today I'm joined again by Dr. Will Dobud — social worker, researcher, and co-author of Kids These Days — who thinks the story we tell ourselves about phones and youth mental health is far bigger than the evidence behind it.I open by naming my own bias: I work with the families where it went wrong. Porn addiction, gaming addiction, failure to launch, daughters pulled into dark corners of social media. Will names his: he's oppositional by temperament, and he wrote a book making fun of how adults talk about kids.We get into why the meta-analytic effects between screen use and youth mental health are so small they're arguably not worth publishing, what a third variable does to correlational data, and why Australia's social media ban is failing six months in. I push back repeatedly — on whether "do what feels right" is useful advice to parents who don't know what modern pornography even is, on the candy-bin problem of unregulated access, and on whether calling the phone a symptom of family dysfunction slides into blaming parents.Then Will gets on his soapbox about school, and the conversation turns somewhere I didn't expect: youth self-harm and ER data that tracks the school calendar. Up during term, down during holidays. Highest on Mondays. What if we've been pointing at the wrong thing?Books mentioned in this episode:Kids These Days — Dr. Will Dobud, with co-author NevinThe Anxious Generation — Jonathan HaidtDr. Will Dobud is a social worker, researcher, and educator who has worked with adolescents and families in the United States, Australia, and Norway. Will is from Washington, D.C., and divides his time between the United States and Australia each year.

In this episode, Caleb is joined by Heath Lambert (PhD, The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary) Senior Pastor of First Baptist Church of Jacksonville, Florida to discuss the history of therapy and biblical counseling, emphasizing the sufficiency of Scripture and the dangers of syncretism with secular psychology. They explores the theological roots of modern counseling movements and offers guidance for pastors and counselors today.

What happens when years of eating disorder treatment reduce symptoms but never fully address the trauma underneath? In this episode of the Dr. Marianne-Land Podcast, I welcome Jennifer Lancaster, LCSW, for a conversation about complex trauma treatment for eating disorders, including the role of EMDR therapy, ketamine-assisted psychotherapy (KAP), attachment trauma, nervous system healing, and shame recovery. Whether you're recovering from anorexia, bulimia, ARFID, binge eating disorder, or another eating disorder, understanding the connection between trauma and eating disorders can open new possibilities for healing. Jennifer is a licensed clinical social worker and founder of Houston Healing Collective. Drawing on more than a decade of experience treating eating disorders and complex trauma, she explains why many clients arrive after years of therapy saying they understand why they struggle but still feel trapped in the same patterns. We discuss how trauma-informed treatment can move beyond symptom management by addressing the underlying experiences that shaped the nervous system in the first place. Why Complex Trauma Often Fuels Eating Disorders Complex trauma is not always one catastrophic event. It can develop through repeated experiences of emotional neglect, attachment disruptions, chronic criticism, unsafe relationships, community violence, poverty, or growing up without feeling consistently seen, safe, or emotionally supported. Jennifer shares how her own experiences and years of clinical work helped her recognize that many eating disorders function as adaptive responses to unresolved trauma rather than isolated illnesses. We also discuss why many people in eating disorder recovery become frustrated when treatment focuses primarily on changing behaviors without creating space to process traumatic experiences. Although symptom stabilization remains important, Jennifer explains why many clients eventually seek treatment that addresses the deeper emotional wounds beneath restrictive eating, binge eating, purging, or other eating disorder symptoms. EMDR Therapy for Trauma and Eating Disorders Jennifer explains how she integrates EMDR therapy into eating disorder treatment. She discusses the importance of building trust, strengthening nervous system regulation, assessing readiness, and helping clients expand their window of tolerance before trauma reprocessing begins. She also describes how EMDR allows people to process traumatic memories without needing to repeatedly tell every painful detail, making the work feel more manageable for many survivors of complex trauma. Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy Explained If you've been curious about ketamine-assisted therapy for PTSD, trauma, or eating disorders, Jennifer offers an accessible explanation of how this treatment works. She discusses why ketamine differs from traditional psychiatric medications, how it may temporarily increase neuroplasticity, and why those changes can create opportunities for deeper therapeutic work. We also talk about the brain's default mode network, rigid thinking patterns, and why many people experience new perspectives during treatment that previously felt impossible to access. One of the most important messages in this episode is that ketamine itself is not the treatment. Jennifer emphasizes that preparation, psychotherapy, and thoughtful integration before and after medicine sessions are what help lasting healing occur. Rather than replacing therapy, ketamine-assisted psychotherapy works alongside trauma-focused treatment approaches like EMDR and other evidence-informed therapies. Healing Shame Through Safe Relationships Jennifer also shares her own experience receiving ketamine-assisted therapy and how it transformed her relationship with shame. She describes participating in a therapeutic group experience where she felt safe enough to openly share parts of her story for the first time. That experience inspired her to develop group ketamine retreats because she witnessed how healing can deepen when people experience connection, compassionate witnessing, and emotional safety alongside trauma treatment. Our conversation also explores why shame often survives in isolation but begins to loosen when people experience safe therapeutic relationships. Whether treatment happens individually or in a carefully facilitated group setting, safety remains the foundation of meaningful trauma recovery. Who Should Listen This episode is for adults recovering from anorexia, bulimia, ARFID, binge eating disorder, or other eating disorders. It is also valuable for parents, caregivers, therapists, dietitians, physicians, and other healthcare professionals who want a deeper understanding of complex trauma, EMDR therapy, ketamine-assisted psychotherapy, PTSD, attachment trauma, and trauma-informed eating disorder treatment. In This Episode Jennifer explains how complex trauma contributes to eating disorders, why attachment wounds often remain hidden beneath eating disorder symptoms, how EMDR therapy helps people process traumatic memories, what ketamine-assisted psychotherapy actually involves, why preparation and integration matter just as much as the medicine itself, how neuroplasticity may support healing, why shame often decreases through safe therapeutic relationships, and how trauma-informed care can help people move beyond surviving toward genuine recovery. Content Cautions This episode includes discussion of eating disorders, anorexia, bulimia, ARFID, PTSD, complex trauma, childhood adversity, attachment trauma, emotional neglect, shame, poverty, community violence, psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy, and ketamine-assisted therapy.

Good morning from Pharma Daily: the podcast that brings you the most important developments in the pharmaceutical and biotech world. Recent weeks have been a whirlwind of activity in the pharmaceutical and biotech sectors, showcasing significant strides in scientific breakthroughs, regulatory advancements, and strategic industry maneuvers. Replimune's Vusolimogene Oderparepvec has emerged as a beacon of hope in the fight against advanced melanoma. This gene therapy, utilizing an oncolytic virus, has recently received a positive nod from an advisory committee for its Phase 1/2 trial. When combined with PD-1 checkpoint inhibitors, it holds promise for enhancing immune responses against tumors—a critical development in cancer treatment that may redefine therapeutic strategies. This advancement follows two prior FDA rejections, underscoring the multifaceted evaluation process drugs undergo before approval and demonstrating that perseverance can eventually lead to success. Meanwhile, AstraZeneca and Daiichi Sankyo have achieved a milestone with the European Union's approval of Datopotamab Deruxtecan for treating unresectable or metastatic triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC). As an antibody-drug conjugate targeting the Trop-2 protein, it offers new hope to TNBC patients who often have limited options. This approval underscores the potential of antibody-drug conjugates in oncology, supported by promising Phase 3 trial data. Regeneron Pharmaceuticals is enjoying notable revenue growth thanks to Dupixent, a monoclonal antibody addressing autoimmune and respiratory diseases. Such financial success underscores the expanding role of biologics in tackling chronic illnesses, reflecting a broader industry trend towards biologically-based treatments. In business news, Pharmanovia's licensing deal with Impact Therapeutics for Senaparib signifies strategic expansion in oncology therapeutics. Similarly, Kaigene's agreement with Taisho Pharmaceutical highlights ongoing interest in autoimmune therapies, illustrating how companies are leveraging partnerships to broaden their therapeutic horizons. Pfizer is on the brink of expanding its label for Ritlecitinib (Litfulo), a JAK3 inhibitor that showed positive results in Phase 3 trials for nonsegmental vitiligo. By targeting autoimmune pathways, this small molecule could offer new hope to vitiligo patients seeking effective treatments. Litfulo is advancing through regulatory stages following successful trials, poised to provide an oral alternative for non-segmental vitiligo—a potential game-changer that could improve patient compliance and expand treatment options beyond Incyte's Opzelura. However, not all news is positive. Novo Nordisk faced disappointment when its Ziltivekimab failed a Phase 3 trial for atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease with chronic kidney disease. Despite this setback, Novo Nordisk remains optimistic about ongoing trials Artemis and Hermes as potential lifelines for their CKD program. Success could diversify their portfolio and introduce novel therapeutic options for CKD patients. Additionally, financial hurdles surfaced as Daiichi Sankyo saw an 11% share drop due to an accounting error, and Alnylam Pharmaceuticals' market value took a hit following a lowered revenue forecast for its TTR drug. On a global scale, the Trump administration has allocated $600 million to GAVI for childhood immunizations worldwide. This funding reversal emphasizes ongoing efforts to ensure vaccine accessibility across the globe—an essential component of public health initiatives. The dynamic nature of these developments reflects both the potential and challenges within the pharmaceutical landscape. The promising avenues presented by gene therapy, antibody-drug conjugates, and JAK inhibitors are tempered by clinical setbacks and financial volatility, underscoring the rigorous demands faced by industry stakeholders. In other industry news, AbbVie's Skyrizi continues to thrive despite increasing competition in the psoriasis market. With sales reaching $5.55 billion in Q2 2026, Skyrizi demonstrates the sustained demand for innovative biologics that enhance treatment efficacy and safety profiles. Karyopharm Therapeutics remains committed to its XPO1 inhibitor Xpovio despite setbacks in other indications like endometrial cancer. Their focus on myelofibrosis illustrates a strategic pivot towards hematologic malignancies where unmet needs persist. Oral GLP-1 receptor agonists are gaining ground as Novo Nordisk's Wegovy pill and Eli Lilly's Foundayo vie for dominance in weight management solutions. These oral formulations promise increased accessibility over traditional injectables. Regulatory arenas continue to evolve with AbbVie's Rinvoq gaining European clearance for alopecia and vitiligo. Such approvals highlight regulatory bodies' critical role in expanding market access across diverse therapeutic areas. Strategic partnerships also abound as WellSpan Health collaborates with Hippocratic AI to integrate artificial intelligence into healthcare solutions—a growing trend aimed at enhancing clinical decision-making capabilities. Meanwhile, Apnimed's $192 million IPO success indicates strong investor confidence in novel therapeutics like its sleep apnea treatment—a reflection of biopharma's financing dynamics where targeted therapies draw significant interest. Overall, these updates paint a vivid picture of an industry characterized by relentless innovation through scientific research, strategic alliances, and regulatory progress—all aimed at improving patient outcomes amidst evolving market demands. The industry's focus on breakthrough technologies continues to shape global health initiatives by offering new opportunities for patient care across various conditions. As companies navigate this dynamic environment marked by both promise and challenge—their ability to innovate scientifically while engaging strategically with regulators will be crucial to bringing novel therapies effectively into clinical practice where they can make meaningful impacts on patients' lives worldwide.Support the show

On se retrouve pour la suite de notre réflexion. Dans l'épisode précédent, je te parlais de la propagande de l'amour difficile : cette idée qu'une relation doit forcément être compliquée, passionnelle ou douloureuse pour être vraie. Mais si on pousse cette logique à l'extrême, on tombe parfois dans l'excès inverse : croire qu'une relation saine devrait être simple du début à la fin. Alors aujourd'hui, j'avais envie d'explorer l'autre côté de la pièce. On nous vend souvent la relation saine comme quelque chose de simple, évident, sans conflits ni doutes. Mais est-ce que c'est vraiment la réalité ? Dans cet épisode de Garce In The City, on parle des désaccords, des peurs, des blessures qu'on apporte avec nous, de la différence entre une relation toxique et une relation qui demande simplement deux personnes imparfaites prêtes à construire quelque chose ensemble. Parce que non, une relation saine n'est pas forcément une relation où tout est facile. Parfois, elle demande de communiquer, de se remettre en question et d'apprendre à aimer autrement.J'espère que cet épisode t'aidera à faire la différence entre les difficultés qui font grandir un couple… et celles qui devraient te faire partir. Prends un café, pars marcher ou installe-toi quelques minutes avec moi. On se retrouve comme chaque jour dans les rues de New York.IG : @amaltahirMes chroniques : In Her ShoesMon dernier livre : Rencard avec la trentaineXXAmal TahirHébergé par Ausha.

Welcome to another episode of LIFTS, where we explore the future of fitness, wellness and human performance. In this episode, hosts Matthew Januszek and Mohammed Iqbal are joined by Nico Varano, CEO of SWTHZ, one of North America's fastest-growing recovery and wellness brands. Recovery has become one of the biggest growth opportunities in health and fitness, with consumers increasingly seeking experiences that help them reduce stress, improve performance and build healthier habits. But what does it take to build a business around recovery? Nico shares his journey from becoming SWTHZ's very first franchisee to leading the company as CEO. Together, they explore why recovery is becoming a category in its own right, how contrast therapy is evolving beyond a wellness trend, and why hospitality, technology and habit-building are central to creating lasting customer experiences. The conversation also looks at the role of AI, wearables and personalised data, the differences between private and communal recovery experiences, and what the future holds as SWTHZ continues its expansion across North America. In this episode, we cover: Nico's journey from customer to CEO Why recovery is becoming a category of its own Building a scalable wellness franchise The rise of private contrast therapy experiences How hospitality is redefining customer expectations The role of AI, wearables and data in recovery Why habit-building matters more than one-off experiences The future of recovery, wellness and preventative health

After betrayal, it is easy to become trapped in an endless cycle of learning. You listen to more podcasts, read more books, study nervous system regulation, attachment, boundaries, narcissism, reconciliation, and divorce—hoping the next piece of information will finally make you feel clear. But there comes a point when gathering more information can become its own form of hypervigilance. In Part One of this two-part series, Lora Cheadle introduces the four phases of her Life Choreography® Method: Regulate, Reorient, Reconnect, and Rechoreograph. She guides you through each phase as though you were in a private session together, helping you identify where you are, where you may have skipped ahead, and what kind of support you actually need now. This episode also explores the difference between conscious insight and subconscious change, why the right tool used at the wrong time can feel like another failure, and how hypnosis can help update the old survival rules that continue operating beneath the surface.   Top 3 Takeaways Learning more is not always the same as healing. Learning can be an important first step, but endless information gathering can keep you focused on the problem and safely outside your own transformation. At some point, the next step is no longer another book, podcast, or tool. It is allowing what you already know to change how you live. Betrayal recovery has an order. The four phases of the Life Choreography® Method are Regulate, Reorient, Reconnect, and Rechoreograph. You cannot force clarity while your nervous system is still in survival, reconnect with yourself before orienting to the truth, or rebuild a life that reflects who you are before knowing who you are now. Conscious understanding may not change a subconscious survival pattern. You can consciously know that you are safe, worthy, and capable of making decisions while your body continues reacting from fear, abandonment, or helplessness. Hypnosis helps update the subconscious beliefs, conditioned associations, and old survival rules that keep recreating the same emotional response.   Favorite Quotes “Your conscious mind can know the truth, but your subconscious is still obeying old survival rules and patterns.” —Lora Cheadle   About Lora Lora Cheadle, JD, CHt is a former attorney turned betrayal recovery coach, hypnotherapist, and author who helps women rebuild their identity and reclaim their power after infidelity and profound emotional betrayal. Using her signature Life Choreography® approach, she integrates legal insight, nervous system regulation, somatic practices, and deep spiritual support to help clients move from shattered to sovereign.     Resources & Links Download the free Betrayal Recovery Guide: https://betrayalrecoveryguide.com To book a customized hypnosis session with Lora, visit AffairRecoveryForWomen.com or reach out directly at lora@LoraCheadle.com.

This week, we're joined by our Associate Chiropractor Dr. Dodge and Therapist Meghan Walton of the Holistic Integration Structural Team to talk about Cupping Therapy, as well as our high success rate in dealing with shoulder issues. In this episode, you'll learn:—How the weird marks on Olympic athletes that look like they were attacked by an octopus are a result from Cupping Therapy, which is also called Myofascial Decompression. —The issues helped by Cupping Therapy, such as: pain, scar tissue, adhesions, tendinitis, muscle tension and tightness, and range-of-motion problems.—Why the marks left behind by Cupping Therapy are different from bruising and are not painful at all.—How the shoulder is different than any other joint in the body. And how the shoulder isn't really a "ball-and-socket" joint like the hip, but a "ball-and-dish" socket that allows the unique range-of-motion offered by the shoulder.—The causes of shoulder pain, including: rotator cuff tear, labrum tear, bursitis, and tendinitis (which is the most common cause). And the diagnostics and testing involved in shoulder issues.—The JTECH computerized range-of-motion test used at Holistic Integration that provides an objective analysis of your shoulder. And how Holistic Integration doesn't "do any guesswork".—How 60-75% of partial rotator cuff tears can be healed non-surgically with conservative treatment like Chiropractic treatment and rehab. And how Holistic Integration experienced an even higher success rate with their patients.—The ProAdjuster SRT Chiropractic adjusting technology used at Holistic Integration that has various tools specifically designed for the shoulder joint. And how the Rapid Release vibration therapy "does a great job on the fascia". —Why Dr. Dodge says he "hates" frozen shoulder syndrome, but "loves" how Holistic Integration is able to help patients overcome their suffering through "a return to function, decreased pain, and some incredible range-of-motion".—How you can get a New Patient appointment at Holistic Integration for Children 18 and under for just $75 through the end of August.http://www.TheVoiceOfHealthRadio.com*Receive exclusive bonus content as a member of our Voice Of Health Patreon Community:https://www.patreon.com/cw/VoiceofHealthPodcast

Caller Questions & Discussion: Dr. Jill discusses parental PTSD and how a hijacked nervous system can lead to catastrophizing, overgeneralizing, and rumination. If you struggle with parental PTSD, ask yourself: When did I first feel this way before becoming a parent? I sold my home and invested in building a new home with my fiancé, but he didn't contribute financially, and the home was destroyed by a hurricane. Now he's unsure about marriage and wants a prenup. What should I do? I've been married for 43 years. My husband is emotionally avoidant, and two years ago he told me he didn't love me anymore. He's in counseling now, but we haven't been intimate for 30 years. I feel stuck and afraid. Is there hope for our marriage? On Mother's Day, my husband told me he wants a divorce. We have children with special needs and haven't been intimate for 16 years, but I don't want our marriage to end. He's even started improving his appearance. Am I wrong to hold onto hope? When should I expect a call from my boss after being laid off last week? He's also my friend, and I helped him get the job. Should I reach out?

Send us Fan MailIn this episode of Neo News, Ben and Eli break down a troubling story in vaccine policy: an unsolicited $1.6 million CDC grant funding a Danish research group's trial in Guinea-Bissau, one designed to withhold or delay the hepatitis B birth dose from thousands of newborns in a country where the disease is highly endemic. They trace the ethical parallels to Tuskegee, the funding irregularities, and the pushback from the Africa CDC that halted the study. They also cover the clinical stakes clinicians face daily, including age-dependent chronicity and the real risks of a "safe" two-month delay.

What is the relationship between nonsuicidal self-injury (NSSI) and pain? Are individuals who self-injure less sensitive to pain than those who don't self-injure? What are the ethics involved in conducting research on pain? In this episode, Dr. Julian Koenig describes the research on the experience of pain among those who self-harm.

Send us Fan MailFreya Maberley's family are all neurodivergent. Her siblings/parents and grand parents were all undiagnosed. She was diagnosed ADHD at 53, and she is Autistic too, and proud! Her brother is undiagnosed AuDHD and her home growing up was dictated by anger and violence. She was always considered the 'normal" child in the family, but her high sensitivity meant that she became the responsible one, taking on the people pleaser role of the family dynamic.Freya's son is diagnosed AuDHD, dyslexic, dysgraphic.

In this 10-minute episode, I explore the question: Do we attract certain people, or do we choose to entertain them?Through the lens of attachment theory, I unpack why we're often drawn to what feels familiar rather than what is healthy, how childhood patterns can shape our adult relationships, and why we may unconsciously try to “change the ending” of old wounds.I also bring in an IFS perspective and share reflective questions to help you understand which parts of you become activated in certain relationship dynamics.If you keep finding yourself in similar patterns, this episode is an invitation to look inward with curiosity, compassion, and greater awareness.♾ In a fast-paced world like the one we live in, time is one of our most important assets. For a few minutes every episode, I, Tannaz Hosseinpour, will be discussing topics that aim to enhance the quality of your life, by helping you feel empowered to take inspired action on your personal growth journey.Connect with me for daily insights:InstagramFacebookTikTokMore resources available on www.minutesongrowth.comThis podcast is for educational purposes only.

Have you ever felt like something is missing in your marriage, but you just can't put your finger on it? Maybe your communication isn't terrible, your intimacy isn't nonexistent, and you still love each other... yet something feels off.What if the real issue isn't your sex life or communication at all?In this episode of the Ultimate Intimacy Podcast, Nick and Amy are joined by special guest and therapist Austin to explore the many different types of intimacy every marriage needs to thrive. From emotional, physical, sexual, and spiritual intimacy to recreational, intellectual, and more, they discuss how each type plays a vital role in creating a strong, connected marriage.They share real life examples of couples who struggle because one area of intimacy is missing, like when spouses don't share the same spiritual beliefs, or when they never spend time enjoying hobbies and adventures together. You'll discover why neglecting just one area of intimacy can quietly affect every other part of your relationship and, more importantly, what you can do to rebuild it.If your marriage feels disconnected, stuck, or simply not as close as it once was, this episode may help you uncover the missing piece you've been searching for.

Caller Questions & Discussion: Marc shares how to respond when you feel frustrated. Instead of just expressing frustration, identify what you’re really feeling. Discover the emotional need beneath your frustration and what you need to resolve it. My sister and I are in our 80s and 90s. I’m in counseling, but where do I start to begin healing the broken relationship with my sister? Her ex-husband is dying. I was recently diagnosed with autism at 79 years old. Could autism be contributing to the emotional and psychological challenges I've been working through in counseling? I’ve been committed to personal growth for many years, including participating in Al-Anon. How do I stop procrastinating about cleaning out a room and closet that desperately need attention? I'm in a relationship with someone who has an avoidant attachment style. The pulling away has been extreme; after being apart, he's now returned because of nostalgia. Is there any hope? He refuses counseling.

This episode breaks down practical strategies for getting more out of therapy and the common mistakes that can quietly get in the way of real progress.Have you ever left a therapy session feeling better for an hour, only to find yourself stuck in the exact same patterns a week later? Or wondered why someone can spend years in therapy without seeming to change?In this episode, Dr. Kibby explores the habits that often prevent therapy from being effective. She talks about emotional avoidance, people pleasing, staying in "problem talk" instead of focusing on change, and why honesty with your therapist matters more than trying to be the "perfect" client. She also explains how to choose the right therapist, what questions to ask before starting treatment, and why the work that happens between sessions is just as important as what happens during them.Whether you're in therapy yourself or supporting someone who is, this episode offers practical ways to make treatment more meaningful and increase the chances that it leads to lasting change.Resources: - Chapman, A.

Dr. Joy sits down with neuropsychologist Dr. Tanisha Hill-Jarrett, assistant professor at UCSF's Memory and Aging Center, to talk through what brain health means, why it's broader than mental health alone, and the daily habits that support it: cardiovascular exercise, a heart-healthy diet, stress management, social connection, and quality sleep. They dig into what our phones are doing to us. Dr. Hill-Jarrett breaks down how short-form video triggers a bigger dopamine response than a typical reward, why the unpredictability of a feed keeps us scrolling, and what that means for sleep, attention span, and memory. She shares her own strategies, including separate personal and professional Instagram accounts and the Pomodoro method for resetting focus without reaching for a screen. The conversation turns to her research on Black women and Alzheimer's disease. Black Americans face 1.5 to 2 times the risk of white Americans, and Black women carry the highest projected prevalence of any group, a gap that shows up even among women who are upwardly mobile, largely tied to the neighborhoods they live in. Dr. Hill-Jarrett also unpacks weathering, the term coined by Arlene Geronimus for the accelerated biological aging that Black women experience, and points to research showing Black women's telomeres suggest they are roughly seven and a half years biologically older than white women at the same age. She closes with her current work on Afrofuturism and hopefulness, including a 10-week workshop where participants imagined a future free of time scarcity and reported feeling more hopeful about shaping what comes next. Her advice for anyone worried it's too late to protect their brain: it never is.

In this episode, Dr. David Puder speaks with Robert Drozek, clinical director of the Mentalization-Based Treatment (MBT) Clinic at McLean Hospital and teaching associate at Harvard Medical School, about practical Mentalization-Based Therapy techniques to improve clinical outcomes in borderline personality disorder (BPD), OCD, and narcissism. Drozek explains the "What, Why, and How" model of mentalizing, how to address psychic equivalence (rigid certainty), pretend mode, and teleological thinking, and offers concrete strategies clinicians can use in session and assign as between-session work to help patients reconnect with difficult emotions, reduce intellectualization, and develop more flexible, reflective ways of understanding themselves and others.
