Hear Dr. Sam Harrington as we discuss his book, At Peace: Choosing a Good Death After a Long Life. Does dying in the hospital hooked up to tubes scare you? What about your parents? How do you have the conversation? When do you decide that a caring choice is the decision to avoid repeated hospitalizations and over testing? You have choices you might not think you have. There are some things that will directly lead you down the path of hospitalization and then death. My guest, Dr. Samuel Harrington is an honors graduate of Harvard College and the University of Wisconsin Medical School. He practiced internal medicine and gastroenterology for more than 30 years in Washington, D.C. There he served on the board of trustees of Sibley Memorial Hospital, a member of the Johns Hopkins Health System, and the former Hospice Care of DC. As the American health care system evolved around him, becoming increasingly complex and increasingly commercialized, Sam became interested in end-of-life issues. We are going to talk about all these things and his book, At Peace, Choosing a Good Death After a Long Life.

With Dr. Richard Idell! Globally, more than 300 million people suffer from depression, and 260 million suffer from anxiety disorders—many of whom live with both conditions. A study by the World Health Organization found that such disorders cost the global economy $1 trillion in lost productivity each year. Suicide is the 10th leading cause of death in the US and almost 45,000 people in the US die by suicide. EVERY YEAR!!! The FDA began placing suicidal ideation risk warnings on certain antidepressant medications in the fall of 2004. In a recent story, The New York Times discusses why many people taking antidepressants discover they cannot quit. Last month, I interviewed Johann Hari about his New York Times best-selling book, Lost Connections - Uncovering the Real Causes of Depression. You might remember from that interview how antidepressants… haven’t been studied long-term. The “cure” doesn’t come in a bottle. I could go on, but that should tell you something right there. My guest, Dr. Richard Idell is Psychiatrist and an assistant professor in the Department of Behavioral Health at UT Health Northeast. He’s been published in numerous scholarly publications and if you look him up — you’ll be more than impressed. Oh yeah...he’s a musician too!! We’re going to talk about one of his most recent papers about the treatment of depression with psychedelics. If psychedelics scare you... you’ll want to listen, because we’re going to bring the facts. I’ll share my personal experience and the doctor will talk about the research. From the CDC 21,028 people died from alcoholic liver disease in 2015. 33,000, 171 died from alcohol induced deaths in 2015. Opioids!! More than 65,000 died in 2017. Why do we seek “pain” killers? And you know how easy alcohol is to get. How many died from taking Psilocybin? I can’t even find that number. Do you know how addictive sugar is? Keep this in the back of your brain when we do this podcast -- this is from an article in National Geographic - link in comments. "Nicole Avena, a neuroscientist at Mount Sinai St. Luke’s Hospital in New York, has shown that rats will keep gobbling sugar if you let them, and they develop tolerance, craving, and withdrawal, just as they do when they get hooked on cocaine.

This guided hypnotic meditation gives you an opportunity to start from the beginning and re parent yourself -- they way you want to. After you listen, just notice the changes in days and weeks to come that will signify that you have changed.

It seems the topic of high conflict or high maintenance individuals will never go away. Over the years, I’ve handled different situations in different ways. For a long time, I felt that an invitation to argue, was directed at me and I happily joined the party. I had to defend myself. I had my reputation to defend. Or did I? Do you feel that way when someone offends you? Do you need to respond? What if it’s family? Dr. Moran Cerf, a neuroscientist at Northwestern University who has been studying decision making for over a decade has made a very surprising discovery via research.

My guest, Simon Cantlon has over 20 years in the entertainment and digital media industry. He bounced between Los Angeles and New York City, working on shows like Dexter, Weeds, American Idol, So You Think You Can Dance and many more. He was nominated for an EMMY for his work on Dexter. He could have continued to climb the industry ladder, but Simon took a brave leap and jumped off into pursuing his own path and passions. I'll talk to Simon about making that leap from security and seniority to following his dreams from his documentary, The Motels of Route 66 and festivals like Rockabilly on the Route and Rockabillaque. These mid-century celebrations include classic car and vintage bike shows, live music from around the world, contests including the ever-popular Pin-Up Contests and more! It wasn't the easiest -- but it was worth it! Hear what happens, when after being on a path you think you are supposed to be on -- you go ANOTHER WAY! Can you believe that I've known Simon since the 2nd grade at St. Andrews! He was always good looking and sweet and creative!!!
