| Why Therapy Culture Is Making Us Worse | Jonathan Alpert | 23 Aug 2026 | 00:27:38 | |
Therapy culture has made more people ask whether every difficult moment needs to become a diagnosis or a treatment plan. Jonathan Alpert argues that good therapy should help people become more capable, but it can keep people stuck when it becomes an endless routine rather than a path toward real change.

| Fauci's Diary: Did Fame Change Policy? | Nicolas Hulscher | 29 Jul 2026 | 00:41:18 | |
The Fauci diary is at the center of this timely conversation with Nicolas Hulscher about fame, COVID-era decision-making, and whether a hearing can lead to accountability. Hulscher argues that the diary and other recent disclosures raise serious questions about gain-of-function funding and institutional conduct, while Mike Vera, MS, NBC-HWC, host of the Healthy & Awake Podcast, presses him on what the record establishes, what remains disputed, and whether Fauci's July 29 testimony can produce anything more than headlines. 🔎 ABOUT THE GUEST — NICOLAS HULSCHER Nicolas "Nic" Hulscher, MPH, is an epidemiologist and administrator at the McCullough Foundation.

Medical cannabis sits in a crowded space of strong claims, real risks, and uneven regulation.

| How to Calm Your Nervous System: The Best Tool Is Free w/ Dr. Eva Selhub | 13 Jul 2026 | 00:44:37 | |
How do you calm your nervous system when survival mode has quietly become your baseline? Dr. Eva Selhub joins Mike Vera on the Healthy & Awake Podcast to get into stress, anxiety, and burnout, and instead of a standard Q&A, Mike brought four case studies, the archetypes he sees over and over in sessions as a health coach: the guy stuck in the cookie-and-coffee loop who asks why even bother, the person waking at 2 a.m. with layoffs circling, the mom quietly dreading the empty nest, and the caregiver running on empty. Resilience is more than toughness, she says, and she argues that the coping most people reach for only brings the stress response part of the way down, which leaves the baseline creeping higher over time. 🔎 ABOUT THE GUEST — DR. EVA SELHUB Dr. Eva Selhub is a board-certified internist who spent 20 years on the faculty of Harvard Medical School and served as medical director of the Benson-Henry Institute for Mind-Body Medicine at Massachusetts General Hospital.

| The Antidepressant Side Effect They Buried w/ Dr. David Healy | 29 Jun 2026 | 00:53:32 | |
Dr. David Healy, psychiatrist, psychopharmacologist, and author of Pharmageddon, returns to lay out what he argues the drug companies concealed about antidepressants. He says the healthy-volunteer trials showed sexual side effects in close to 90% of people while the marketed figure was under 5%, and he explains why he considers the word "antidepressant" itself a marketing term. Host Mike Vera, MS, NBC-HWC, walks through the trial data, informed consent, and whether the same pattern is now repeating with GLP-1 drugs. This is a discussion of Dr. Healy's research and perspective, shared for educational purposes only, and it is not medical advice.

| Life, Liberty, and The Pursuit of Happiness w/ David Gruder PhD [Ep. 39] | 08 Feb 2024 | 01:03:48 | |
In this thought-provoking episode of 'Healthy and Awake' podcast, Mike Vera engages with Dr. David Gruder, a renowned psychologist and a critical thinker who discusses the intersection of human consciousness, technology and happiness. Dr. Gruder dares to challenge conventional beliefs and gives insights into how our sense of happiness and freedom can be hijacked through societal 'spells' and technology, particularly artificial intelligence. Shedding light on the emerging future of humanity, he presents two contrasting paradigms: 'Homo Machina', a human-machine hybrid dominated by AI, and 'Homo Spiritus', individuals more connected with love, wisdom and their higher selves. He expresses optimism for the latter future, emphasizing the importance of spiritual self-sovereignty and enlightening self-awareness. Throughout the discussion, we also cover topics such as propaganda, 'rockefellerization' of medicine, leadership, and the role of AI in propaganda.
