221. Ryan Rogers: Gas Station Opioids, Faith-Based Recovery, and Honest Therapy
Q: Do some of your patients seek you out specifically for a faith-based recovery approach?

221. Ryan Rogers: Gas Station Opioids, Faith-Based Recovery, and Honest Therapy
Q: What patterns or trends have you observed and who is particularly susceptible to these types of addictions?
A broad range of people, including younger men and others, can be drawn into these addictions due to legal availability and social acceptance of the substances; exposure in everyday settings like gas stations increases risk.
221. Ryan Rogers: Gas Station Opioids, Faith-Based Recovery, and Honest Therapy
Q: What can you tell us about the mechanism of action of these new drugs like 7-OH and MGM-15?
They act on the opioid system, similar to morphine and heroin, but with much higher potency; withdrawal can resemble classic opioid withdrawal and can be very challenging.
211. Mia Hughes: Trans as an Extreme Overvalued Belief — Cracking the Code
Q: Let's dive into it. What do you mean by that?
Mia Hughes explains the concept of trans as an extreme overvalued belief, describing how it began as a psychiatric label and evolved through de-psychopathologization to be framed as healthy, leading to social and medical implications.
208. How Sweet, Sensitive Boys Enter the Porn-Addiction-to-Transgender Pipeline | Shane Cole
Q: What nudge would you give to young men facing the path of least resistance versus the path of hard work and self-restraint?
The long-term payoff comes from choosing the harder path: developing daily practices like meditation and breathwork, cultivating purpose, and leaning into supportive communities, which over time strengthens willpower and leads to a richer life.
