Episode 161 - Big Name Tour Dropouts and Dizzle Cracked the Top 10(6) in Iceland! What up party people. I apologize for the sweat beading off my face, I just got back from a steamy rucking session over at the local ski hill and it's absolutely scorchin' out there. Luckily, I had all day fuel on board from our friends at KetoneAid so now I'm straight buzzin' and ready to get back to some good ol' computer work and house stuff. Speaking of friends at KetoneAid, I want to give a heartfelt thank you to all of y'all who continue to support the show with your hard earned dollars by picking up some of your favorite products from any number of our amazing show sponsors.

None of us have actually taken any pieces from the pie personally yet, however, having some play money allows us to do cool things like upgrade equipment when we need it, pay for professional producing so your boy doesn't have to go back to receiving hate mail every week for the shoddy edit jobs I was doing back in the old days, we also get to use those funds to come to events and meet with some of y'all in person (like Leadville in a few weeks, Chequamegon the month after, I'm sure a few of us will be down at Big Sugar again to witness Dylan having NOT fun at the gravel rave, and you better believe we're bringing the heat to the legendary Iceman in November). Also, if you stick around to the end of the show you'll hear a teaser for a new spin off podcast that will be launching here soon, so just another example of those funds going to cool things.

Does psychiatric medication withdrawal exist — or is it just a myth?For anyone who's lived through it, the question alone can feel insulting.Psychiatric drug withdrawal is real. While the experience varies widely, for many, it's not “brief and mild” as many guidelines state it is. It can be intense, destabilizing, and often misunderstood. One of the most painful challenges is trying to determine whether what you're experiencing is withdrawal or relapse.Unfortunately, current clinical guidelines don't help. They often frame withdrawal as short-lived and minor, dismissing anything more severe as a return of illness. A potentially dangerous oversimplification that can leave patients feeling gaslit or unsupported.In this interview, Dr. Mark Horowitz, a psychiatrist and researcher who's both studied and experienced withdrawal firsthand, unpacks a new JAMA study that exemplifies the problem: guidelines built on inadequate evidence.In this episode, you'll hear:Why current drug withdrawal guidelines fall shortOverview of the new JAMA paper Incidence and Nature of Antidepressant Discontinuation SymptomsThe critical distinction between withdrawal and relapseThe truth about psychiatric drug withdrawalHow to design better research that reflects real-world experiencesWhy this information is often not reaching cliniciansHow we can conduct research that can better inform patient supportDr. Horowitz's story is one of courage and insight. As a clinician, he had no idea how wrong the guidelines were, until he tried coming off medication himself. What he discovered was far more complex than anything he'd been taught.To those navigating psychiatric medication withdrawal — especially in the face of oversimplified headlines and a healthcare system not yet equipped to support you — our hearts go out to you. You deserve care that is informed, compassionate, and grounded in lived experience as well as science. We won't stop until you have this.Expert Featured:Dr. Mark HorowitzX: @markhoroWebsite: https://markhorowitz.org/Resources Mentioned:Incidence and Nature of Antidepressant Discontinuation Symptoms A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysishttps://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamapsychiatry/article-abstract/28362623 Long-Term Psychiatric Medication Studieshttps://www.biologicalpsychiatryjournal.com/article/S0006-3223(98)00126-7/abstracthttps://journals.lww.com/intclinpsychopharm/abstract/2002/09000/discontinuation_symptoms__comparison_of_brief.2.aspxhttps://www.cambridge.org/core/journals/the-british-journal-of-psychiatry/article/interruption-of-selective-serotonin-reuptake-inhibitor-treatment/F0241958CB073C51F366E2AABE636B5DOutro Clinichttps://www.outro.com/The Maudsley Desprescribing Guidelines: Antidepressants, Benzodiazepines, Gabapentinoids and Z-drugs

This week, we're examining the Federal Trade Commission's (FTC's) stance on a federal non-compete ban, the expansive changes introduced by Florida's Contracts Honoring Opportunity, Investment, Confidentiality, and Economic Growth (CHOICE) Act, and a pivotal ruling by the Supreme Court of the United States (SCOTUS) on pension withdrawal liabilities. FTC Delays Decision on Non-Compete Rule         The FTC requested an additional 60 days to decide if it will continue defending the non-compete ban, suggesting the rule may soon be withdrawn. Florida CHOICE Act Expands Non-Competes Florida's new CHOICE Act now allows non-compete agreements for covered employees to span up to four years, doubling the previous limit. The law also simplifies the process for employers to secure injunctive relief, making Florida one of the most employer-friendly states.  SCOTUS to Rule on Pension Withdrawal Liability SCOTUS will decide how pension withdrawal costs are calculated, which could mean significant financial changes for employers. - Download our Wage & Hour Guide for Employers app: https://www.ebglaw.com/wage-hour-guide-for-employers-app. Visit our site for this week's Other Highlights and links: https://www.ebglaw.com/eltw397 Subscribe to #WorkforceWednesday: https://www.ebglaw.com/eltw-subscribe Visit http://www.EmploymentLawThisWeek.com This podcast is presented by Epstein Becker & Green, P.C.

A large systematic review has been released looking at antidepressant withdrawal symptoms. The meta-analysis examined the findings of 50 randomised controlled trials, involving 17,828 participants. The average age of the participants was 44, and 70 per cent were female. Health professionals in Australia say the review provides useful insights, and there is room for further research in this area. - एन्टिडिप्रेेसेन्ट औषधीको प्रयोग रोक्दा हुने ‘वीथ्‌ड्रअल' लक्षणहरूलाई लिएर झन्डै १८ मानिसहरू सहभागी भएको एउटा बृहत् प्रणालीगत समीक्षा सार्वजनिक गरिएको छ। अस्ट्रेलियामा कार्यरत स्वास्थ्यकर्मीहरूले उक्त समीक्षालाई उपयोगी बताएता पनि थप अनुसन्धान गरिनुपर्नेमा जोड दिएका छन्।

Whether it's reading, journaling, enjoying breakfast, or scrolling through social media, these are just a few activities people indulge in while lounging in bed. For some, this has evolved into an art form, popularized by a viral TikTok trend known as “bed rotting.” This habit embodies a laid-back attitude, where productivity and responsibilities are momentarily cast aside in favor of a few minutes or hours of procrastination. Eleanor McGlinchey, a sleep psychologist at Manhattan Therapy Collective and Associate Professor of Psychology at Fairleigh Dickinson University, suggests that spending time in bed before starting the day can provide a sense of control over our time and lives. The same concept applies at night: we attempt to reclaim control over our day by lingering in bed before sleep, effectively delaying bedtime. This phenomenon, known as revenge bedtime procrastination, serves as a form of rebellion against our daily responsibilities. But what does this have to do with health? What are the potential problems of bed rotting? Can Bed Rotting Be a Sign of Withdrawal? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!

In this episode of the BiggerPockets Money podcast, hosts Mindy Jensen and Scott Trench welcome Frank Vasquez back on to challenge everything you thought you knew about safe withdrawal rates. Frank reveals how a properly constructed risk parity portfolio can support a 5% withdrawal rate—meaning you could comfortably pull $125,000 annually from a $2.5 million portfolio without the traditional fear of running out of money. This isn't theoretical; it's a practical strategy that sophisticated investors have been using for decades. Frank takes listeners step-by-step through building this portfolio on Fidelity, demonstrating real-world implementation rather than just concepts. You'll discover how mathematical principles like the Fibonacci sequence can guide your allocation decisions, why traditional diversification falls short, and how to rebalance effectively without overthinking the process. Most importantly, Frank shows how to customize this approach to your specific situation, making risk parity accessible whether you're approaching FIRE or already financially independent. This Episode Covers: Risk parity fundamentals - Understanding true diversification beyond stocks and bonds Asset class breakdown - Specific investments across equities, bonds, commodities, and alternatives Rebalancing strategies - When and how to adjust your portfolio without constant tinkering Withdrawal techniques - Practical methods for taking income from multiple asset classes And SO much more!

#625: What do you do when you've reached financial independence? JL Collins says it depends entirely on your spending rate, not just your net worth. Collins joins us for part two of our conversation about what happens after you reach financial independence. He tackles the question of whether you should invest differently once you've "won the game." Someone with $5 million spending $100,000 per year sits in a completely different position than someone with the same amount spending $200,000 per year. The first person can afford to stay aggressive with stocks. The second person needs bonds to smooth the ride. Collins walks through his withdrawal strategy using his daughter as an example. She stepped away from corporate life in her early thirties and now follows an 80-20 stock/bond allocation. She pulls dividends from both funds into her checking account, covering about 2.5 percent of her target 4 percent withdrawal rate. Vanguard automatically sells shares to cover the remaining 1.5 percent. We cover Collins' thoughts on the 4 percent rule, which he calls extraordinarily conservative. He references Bill Bengen's research showing that 5 percent withdrawals succeed 86 percent of the time. Collins would take those odds to escape a soul-crushing job, especially since most financially independent people end up accidentally making money anyway. We discuss the tension between frugal habits that build wealth – and learning to spend money once you have it. Collins flies first class, but he drives a basic car. Collins explains why financially independent people often stay engaged with work — the problem was never work itself, but working without agency.

In this explosive and highly anticipated episode, Dr. Roger McFillin hosts Dr. Ragy Girgis, a Columbia University Professor of Psychiatry and researcher, for a no-holds-barred confrontation that exposes the shocking divisions tearing apart the mental health field. What begins as a conversation about mass violence research rapidly explodes into a devastating examination of psychiatric medicine's crumbling foundations, questionable effectiveness, and devastating potential harms. The two clash in fierce, unrelenting disagreements over fundamental issues including the validity of DSM diagnoses, the debunked "chemical imbalance" theory of depression, dangerous SSRI safety cover-ups and black box warnings, corrupted research quality and pharmaceutical industry manipulation, and the catastrophic crisis of psychiatric drug overprescription poisoning 1 in 4-5 Americans. Dr. Girgis desperately defends traditional academic psychiatry and current treatment approaches, while Dr. McFillin ruthlessly dismantles the entire paradigm, arguing that the current system is systematically creating chronic mental illness rather than healing it. Buckle up for this brutal intellectual warfare.___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________Throughout the interview, Dr. Girgis repeatedly stated that "the data is clear" while dismissing contradictory evidence that challenges his conclusions. For our listeners' benefit, I have compiled research and documentation that directly disputes several of Dr. Girgis's key claims.Serotonin Hypothesis of Depression1. The serotonin theory of depression: a systematic umbrella review of the evidence (Moncrieff et al.)Conclusions: "This review suggests that the huge research effort based on the serotonin hypothesis has NOT produced convincing evidence of a biochemical basis to depression. This is consistent with research on many other biological markers . We suggest it is time to acknowledge that the serotonin theory of depression is NOT empirically substantiated."2.What has serotonin to do with depression?Conclusions: "Simple biochemical theories that link low levels of serotonin with depressed mood are no longer tenable."3.

The 1988 document indicated that 3.7 percent of patients attempted suicide while on the blockbuster drug, a rate more than 12 times that cited for any of four other commonly used antidepressants.In addition, the paper said that 1.6 percent of patients reported incidents of hostility -- more than double the rate reported by patients on any of four other commonly used antidepressants."Examples of Violence after Prescription in legal system (Sample)January 24, 2020 – Newcastle, South Dublin, Ireland: Deirdre Morley, 44, smothered and killed her two sons Conor, 9, and Darragh, 7, and her three-year-old daughter Carla McGinley in their family home. She had been taking antidepressants since October 2018 and was admitted to St. Patrick's Mental Health Services on July 6, 2019, but was discharged after a short period, but was put on a combination of two antidepressants and a sedativeMay 11, 2018 – Osmington, Western Australia: Peter Miles, 61, shot his 35-year-old daughter and four grandchildren, aged 8 through 13, while they slept in their beds, in a shed that had been converted to a second house on the property. He then turned the gun on his 58-year-old wife in the living room of their house, before placing a call to police alerting them to his crimes. When they arrived, Miles was also found dead from a gunshot wound. Miles had started taking antidepressant medication just weeks before.April 6, 2018 – Wadsworth, Ohio: Gavon Ramsay, 17, strangled his neighbor, 98-year-old Margaret Douglas in her own home. His parents blame his actions on his having been misprescribed Zoloft. After a report by his school principal that the teen was depressed and might harm himself, he “returned to therapy,” and after a recommendation by a psychologist, the family's pediatrician prescribed the antidepressant Zoloft. From January through March leading up to the incident, the dosages were increased. During this time, his mother said she observed her son's behavior change—becoming increasingly irritable and hostile and saying bizarre things.October 21, 2013 – Sparks, Nevada: 12-year-old Jose Reyes opened fire at Sparks Middle School, killing a teacher and wounding two classmates be...

The market hit another “all-time high”—shocking no one.

In this gripping episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Sana sits down with Katinka Blackford Newman—best-selling author, investigative journalist, and founder of Antidepressantrisks.org. Together, they unpack the pharmaceutical myth of the “chemical imbalance” behind depression and explore how one pill nearly cost Katinka everything. From personal psychosis to global data gaps, Katinka sheds light on the long-term effects, the overlooked risks, and the necessity for informed consent. This isn't a call to abandon medication—it's a call to question the status quo. About the Guest:Katinka Blackford Newman is an award-winning filmmaker, journalist, and author of The Pill That Steals Lives. After a harrowing experience with psychiatric medication, Katinka became an advocate for informed consent and safe mental health care. She founded Antidepressantrisks.org to educate others on the real, often hidden dangers of these medications and now coaches people using non-drug-based emotional resilience strategies. Key Takeaways: The “chemical imbalance” theory of depression has never been scientifically proven. Antidepressants can cause severe reactions in genetically sensitive individuals—including psychosis and suicidality. Withdrawal from long-term use can lead to debilitating effects and protracted neurological damage. Doctors are often unaware of the full risks due to limited training and biased drug trials. Katinka offers practical, non-pharmacological coaching tools that address emotions, beliefs, and behavioral change.   Connect with Katinka Blackford Newman: Life Coaching:www.kbnlifecoaching.co.uk Mental Health Education:www.antidepressantrisks.org Check out her podcast - The Med Free Mental Fitness on YouTube : https://www.youtube.com/@KatinkaBlackfordNewman   Want to be a guest on Healthy Mind, Healthy Life?

Send us a textThe conventional approach to withdrawing retirement funds generally involves withdrawing from taxable accounts first, followed by tax-deferred accounts, and finally tax-free accounts. This strategy can minimize taxes and maximize the growth of tax-advantaged investments. Does that mean that this is the best approach for everyone? Like most retirement-related topics, the answer is not a simple yes or no. If you'd like to be a part of a free online retirement community, join us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/399117455706255/?ref=share

Renowned Israeli historian Benny Morris joins The Winston Marshall Show for a piercing and provocative conversation on the origins of the historic conflict between Israel and Iran — and why the West still doesn't understand it.Morris dismantles the popular narrative that Zionism was a colonial project, explaining how Jewish statehood was born out of historical necessity, persecution, and repeated rejection by Arab leaders. He charts the trajectory from 1948 to October 7th, tracing a consistent refusal to accept Israel's existence.They explore the role of religion in the conflict, the enduring power of jihadist ideology, and the failure of peace processes built on Western illusions.All this — Middle East myths, Hamas, U.S. naivety, and why history keeps repeating itself in the Holy Land…See the extended conversation here: https://www.winstonmarshall.co.uk/-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------FOLLOW ME ON SOCIAL MEDIA:Substack: https://www.winstonmarshall.co.uk/X: https://twitter.com/mrwinmarshallInsta: https://www.instagram.com/winstonmarshallLinktree: https://linktr.ee/winstonmarshall----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Chapters0:00 Introduction 2:05 Iranian Regime's Messianic Outlook and Historical Context 10:33 Islamic Conquests and Jewish Communities 15:59 Shia Islam and Relationship with Jews 20:05 Iranian Revolution and Relations with Israel 30:08 Development of Iranian Proxies 39:14 JCPOA Deal and Its Implications 50:57 Trump's Withdrawal from the JCPOA 55:26 Impact of the 2023 Conflict on Iranian Proxies 1:13:26 Future of Hamas and Palestinian Resistance 1:24:00 Netanyahu's Image and Israel's Conflict with Iran 1:26:33 The Hostage Situation and Hamas' Ideology 1:29:31 Hamas' Demands and Netanyahu's Response 1:30:56 Hezbollah's Weakened Position and Israeli Operations 1:33:30 Potential Outcomes of the War with Iran1:36:20 Regime Change and Future Relations with the Islamic World Hosted on Acast.

Life isn't always fair! Thankfully, our God is not only fair, He's also merciful. Like a loving Father, God sometimes has to discipline us when we make mistakes. Often, this discipline can take the form of allowing a trial or hardship to continue in our lives. But His goal is always the same: to draw us closer to Him. In today's message, Pastor Ken shares how God sometimes has to work a little harder to get our attention, just like He did with the nation of Israel, which was stubborn and ignored His warnings.

This week, we're going back into the archive to revisit Tracy K. Smith's time as host. Today's episode was originally released on December 6, 2018. In this episode, Tracy writes, “One day I was a drinker; the next, I was an ex-drinker. A braver person would say: one day I came to understand I am an alcoholic. I consider myself lucky. The best way I can describe the change is to call it an unburdening.” Celebrate the power of poems with a gift to The Slowdown today. Every donation makes a difference: https://tinyurl.com/rjm4synp

Most people assume the “safe withdrawal rate” for retirement (or early retirement) is 4%. But, if that's the case, why is it SO hard to find anyone who's gotten to their FIRE number, quit their job, and lived entirely off of the 4% rule? If the 4% rule is so safe and backed by solid math, why are so few FIRE followers confident enough to actually use it? We don't know. So we asked Karsten, AKA “Big Ern,” from Early Retirement Now to help answer! Karsten has done the math, and the 4% rule checks out. But even he, an early retiree, doesn't follow it. So, instead of the safe withdrawal rate, what's the comfortable withdrawal rate early retirees should be following to FIRE on time and with less stress? And with turbulence in today's stock market, and rising prices (which cause your spending to rise), what does the right FIRE portfolio look like? Karsten walks through how your portfolio should change as you approach FIRE. He explains why hedging with cash-flowing assets may be a smart move, how much cash to keep on hand, and whether those reserves can actually protect against sequence risk. Plus, should you pay off your mortgage on the path to FIRE? Scott and Karsten offer two different perspectives on whether it's smarter to pay off your mortgage or invest that money instead. If you're planning to FIRE, this is info you need to know! In This Episode We Cover Is the 4% rule math or myth, and why doesn't anyone actually trust it enough to use it? The optimal FIRE portfolio for less risk and higher potential returns  Cash reserves and emergency “buckets” to limit your sequence of returns risk  Should you pay off your mortgage early or invest that money instead?
