  • The hidden dangers of long-term psychiatric drugs

    The hidden dangers of long-term psychiatric drugs
    2024/08/07
    Dear Friends,With over six decades of experience as a clinical psychologist, I've seen many trends come and go in mental health treatment. But rarely have I encountered information as potentially game-changing as what I'm sharing with you today.In 2010, I interviewed journalist Robert Whitaker about his book Anatomy of an Epidemic on my NPR-affiliated radio show. The revelations in that conversation were so profound that I recently invited him back for an update, 14 years later.This follow-up interview may be the most important broadcast in my 20-year history of hosting this program.Whitaker's research exposes how the pharmaceutical industry has influenced American psychiatry, leading to the widespread prescription of antidepressants (SSRIs) to tens, if not hundreds of millions of people worldwide. He ushers ample data to show that these medications are not only often ineffective but may be making many patients worse.Major media outlets are not covering this story. To me this suggests a concerning alliance between Big Pharma, psychiatry, and the press. I urge you to listen to this interview. After listening, I encourage you to explore Whitaker's website, madinamerica.com, for more in-depth information.I’m not trying to be sensationalistic. My aim is to empower you with knowledge that the mainstream media isn't providing. I believe you deserve to know the full story about treatments that may profoundly impact your well-being.Remember, good health is worth fighting for. Sometimes that fight begins with seeking out uncomfortable truths.Until next time,Dr. Richard Louis MillerP.S. If you find this information valuable, please share it widely. The more people who understand this issue, the better chance we have of creating positive change in our approach to mental health treatment.Mind Body Health & Politics is a reader-supported publication, where I share the tools and insights I've gathered over my 64-year career.

However, we must address a concerning trend: the normalization of being overweight in our society.With 72% of Americans now overweight or obese, we're seeing this reflected in media and workplaces. But normalizing a health risk is dangerous.This isn't about shame or blame. It's about recognizing that excess weight compromises our immune system. Every pound of unnecessary fat diverts energy our bodies could use to fight disease and maintain health.We need to have honest conversations about weight and health, balancing compassion with the urgency of addressing this public health crisis. Our immune systems – and our lives – may depend on it.My Books:* Freeing Sexuality: Psychologists, Consent Teachers, Polyamory Experts, and Sex Workers Speak Out* Psychedelic Wisdom: The Astonishing Rewards of Mind-Altering Substances* Psychedelic Medicine: The Healing Powers of LSD, MDMA, Psilocybin, and Ayahuasca* Integral Psychedelic Therapy (co-edited with Jason A.

  • Maddy Dychtwald on Ageless Aging

    Maddy Dychtwald on Ageless Aging
    2024/07/24
    Dear Friends,How can we age gracefully in a world that seems intent on making us feel obsolete? This week, I spoke with Maddy Dychtwald, co-founder of Age Wave and author of Ageless Aging: A Woman's Guide to Increasing Healthspan, Brainspan, and Lifespan, about the multifaceted approach to healthy aging.Maddy emphasizes that aging is more than just a number:"There's three different kinds of aging. First there's that chronologic aging... Second is the physiologic or biologic aging. That's how our bodies are aging... But then there's the positive side of aging, which I bet you're experiencing, and that is the psychological or emotional aging."This holistic view resonated deeply with me. As someone who's been around the block a few times (85 years, to be exact), I've learned that maintaining health is about more than just diet and exercise. It's about cultivating a positive attitude, staying socially connected, and finding purpose in our later years.One of Maddy's insights that particularly struck me was about the power of our mindset:"By feeling and thinking and acting more positive about your own aging... it could add up to seven and a half years to your life and... it's not just about lifespan. It's also about healthspan."Imagine that - seven and a half extra years just from changing our attitude! It's a powerful reminder that our thoughts shape our reality, even when it comes to aging.But it's not all in our heads. Maddy also shared practical advice on everything from exercise to hormone replacement therapy. For instance, did you know that we start losing muscle mass as early as our late thirties? That's why Maddy suggests:"Strengthening muscle... getting out those stretch bands, picking up those weights a couple, three, four times a week. It's a really good move."As someone who lifts weights four times a week and does aerobics six or seven times a week, I couldn't agree more. Remember, friends: it's never too late to start investing in your health.Maddy also highlighted the importance of social connections:"Social connections is a viable part of this holistic recipe for ageless aging... the science points directly to the fact that low social interaction is the equivalent of smoking 15 cigarettes a day."This aligns with what I've always believed - that we humans are tribal animals, meant to live in communities where we sustain one another.I encourage you to follow Maddy on Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, Instagram, and TikTok for more insights on aging gracefully. Her wisdom is truly ageless.Remember, good health is worth fighting for, and it's essential for life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.Golden light,Dr. Richard Louis MillerMind Body Health & Politics is a reader-supported publication, where I share the tools and insights I've gathered over my 64-year career.

And the conflict is between two voices in my head:One voice says, "Go into the store and buy some food and give it to that person."The other voice says, "Give them the few dollars they're asking for, even though you know there's a good chance that they're going to buy alcohol or drugs with it."There's a part of me that says, you don't give money to a person who's got trouble with alcohol and drugs because they're going to use it for alcohol and drugs. Give them food.But then there's another part that says, the person is so down and out, if you give them money for alcohol or food... Why not let them have a drink or a drug? Maybe it'll make them feel better for a few minutes.This is a tough decision, and I go through it every time. Sometimes I give them a few bucks, and sometimes I go in and buy food.I don't know how you all handle it. You might let me know, or comment on Instagram.My Books:* Freeing Sexuality: Psychologists, Consent Teachers, Polyamory Experts, and Sex Workers Speak Out* Psychedelic Wisdom: The Astonishing Rewards of Mind-Altering Substances* Psychedelic Medicine: The Healing Powers of LSD, MDMA, Psilocybin, and Ayahuasca* Integral Psychedelic Therapy (co-edited with Jason A.

  • Sasha Cobra on Reconnecting with Our Natural State of Love and Sexuality

    Sasha Cobra on Reconnecting with Our Natural State of Love and Sexuality
    2024/07/09
    Dear Friends,For years, I've observed what I call a "post-traumatic sexual stress disorder" gripping our nation. It's not just about sex – it's about the very fabric of our society. We're a culture living on edge, with 70% of us barely making it paycheck to paycheck. This constant stress, this sword of Damocles hanging over our heads, it's more than economic – it's deeply traumatic, and it seeps into every aspect of our lives, including our sexuality.Imagine, for a moment, that the very act of making love could heal not just our bodies, but our minds, our spirits, and even our society. It sounds almost too good to be true, doesn't it? And yet, after my recent conversation with Sasha Cobra, I find myself pondering this possibility.Sasha, a world-renowned teacher and healer featured on Netflix, brings a perspective on sexuality that's at once ancient and revolutionary. As we spoke, I was struck by how her words seemed to peel back layers of cultural conditioning, revealing a truth that's been hiding in plain sight: we are, at our core, sexual beings."Everything in existence makes love to create," Sasha told me. It's a simple statement, but one that carries profound implications. If creation itself is an act of love, then aren't we, as creators in our own right, constantly engaged in this cosmic dance of sexuality?But here's the problem: we've forgotten how to dance.Sasha's work offers a intriguing antidote to this collective trauma. She speaks of lovemaking not as a mere physical act, but as an energetic exchange capable of clearing "all the trauma, the unprocessed feelings, the negating beliefs, everything that is unlike love in the body." It's a powerful idea – that by reconnecting with our fundamental nature as sexual, energetic beings, we might heal not just ourselves, but our relationships and our society.We've become a culture afraid to feel. We run from discomfort, numb ourselves with distractions, and in doing so, cut ourselves off from the very experiences that could heal us. Sasha's work is a call to return to our bodies, to feel deeply, to engage fully with life and with each other.The idea of being so open and vulnerable can be frightening. But Sasha reminded of why I've dedicated my life to this work. Because beneath the fear, beneath the trauma and the stress, there's a fundamental truth: we are beings capable of profound love, connection, and healing.For those intrigued by these ideas, Sasha offers an online membership program called Enrg Tune, focused on healing and transformation through energetic practices. It's an opportunity to explore this realm of conscious sexuality in a guided, supportive environment.As always, I encourage you to approach these concepts with both an open mind and a critical eye. The intersection of sexuality, energy, and healing is complex and deeply personal. What resonates for one may not for another, and that's perfectly okay.I'd love to hear your thoughts. Watch and comment on the video:How do you see the role of energy and conscious sexuality in your own life? In our society? Are we ready, do you think, to reclaim this fundamental aspect of our nature?Golden light,Dr. Richard Louis MillerMind Body Health & Politics is a reader-supported publication, where I share the tools and insights I've gathered over my 64-year career.
