Alcohol Use Disorder (AUD) affects over 14 million Americans and is the 4th leading cause of preventable death in our nation. However, many remain unaware of a powerful, evidence-based approach that can help: The Sinclair Method. This method, which leverages naltrexone to reduce cravings and dependency, offers a different path to breaking free from alcohol’s grip.

In this episode, Claudia Christian, a leading advocate for The Sinclair Method, explains how this treatment works, its remarkable success stories, and why it remains relatively unknown in mainstream recovery circles. We dive into the science, the barriers, and the potential this approach holds to change lives.

It's estimated that 30% of first responders (police, fire, EMS, etc) suffer from behavioral health injuries like PTSD and depression; significantly higher than the general population. Many first responders report struggling with substance use, often turning to alcohol or drugs to cope with the high-stress demands of their jobs. These alarming statistics reveal a deeper crisis within the first responder community, where the pressure to remain strong often prevents seeking help.

In this episode, we sit down with Mike Marotta of Warriors Heart to discuss why mental health and substance use issues are so prevalent among first responders, the cultural barriers to getting support, and the critical need for change.

Thomas Aquinas taught about the three primary pleasures: food, drink, and sex. And while all of these are good gifts from God, Aquinas warns us that when we indulge in them without moderation or reason, they can harm us—physically, mentally, and spiritually. He taught that temperance is the key to enjoying these pleasures without letting them rule our lives.

Let’s use this weekend as an opportunity to practice temperance—not as a restriction, but as a way to reclaim our freedom.

In 2024, a survey revealed that 41% of American adults plan to drink less in the coming year—without giving up alcohol entirely. With traditional sobriety programs like AA focused on total abstinence, the question becomes: how will nearly half the country achieve moderation? Ian Andersen, co-founder of Sunnyside, believes he has the answer.

In this episode, I sit down with Ian to explore how Sunnyside is revolutionizing the way people approach alcohol through technology. Ian shares how the app empowers users to set personalized goals, track their drinking habits, and get real-time feedback—all while focusing on moderation, not sobriety. We dig into the science of mindful drinking, the importance of accountability, and how Sunnyside is providing a much-needed middle ground for those looking to drink less, without the pressure of quitting entirely.

It's 2024, and over 30 million people are suffering from alcohol use disorder in the US alone. Can a simple, cost effective pill called Naltrexone instantly help millions of Americans cut back, or cut out, alcohol?

Short answer: Yes.

We think there’s a TON you don’t know about alcohol, and this episode will change that.   Today we are joined by author and Distinguished University Scholar and Professor of Philosophy at the University of British Columbia, Dr. Edward Slingerland. Dr. Slingerland discusses the adaptive function of intoxicants, particularly alcohol, in human society. He explains that humans are a unique species, heavily dependent on technology and tools, and that our hyper-social nature and cooperation with strangers contribute to our attraction to intoxicants.  While alcohol can, in moderation, offer some psychological advantages, the availability of highly potent distilled alcohol and the shift from communal to private consumption have increased the risks associated with alcohol.  In this conversation, Dr. Edward Slingerland discusses the modern invention of access and its contribution to alcohol abuse. He explains how alcohol has emerged independently in different cultures and why it is considered the king of intoxicants. Dr. Slingerland also shares insights on assessing the role of alcohol in one's life and the potential costs and benefits associated with its consumption. He concludes by discussing his upcoming projects and books, including a defense of intelligent hedonism. TAKEAWAYS - Humans are a unique species, heavily dependent on technology and tools. - Alcohol enhances creativity by reducing inhibitions and boosting mental flexibility. - Alcohol facilitates bonding and cooperation by reducing self-monitoring and increasing feelings of well-being. - The availability of highly potent distilled alcohol and the shift from communal to private consumption have increased the risks associated with alcohol.

6,392 US Veterans died by suicide in 2021. Read that again. Slow down, and read it again. And again. ⁠Read it until it fully registers.⁠

One Veteran suicide is one too many. Yet, everyday 17 US Veterans take their own life, and it's only getting worse. Coinciding with this heartbreaking trend are increases in the reported prevalence rates of alcohol use, anxiety, depression, PTSD, loneliness, financial concerns, and homelessness.

Who is doing something about this?

There are incredible organizations across the country answering the call for help. Healing Warriors, a Colorado-based non-profit providing non-narcotic therapies to Veterans and their families, AT NO COST, is one such organization answering that call.

Chase Zajc, Executive Director of Healing Warriors, joined the Live Deep podcast to discuss how his organization is fighting to realize their vision of a "suicide free world where all veterans and their families thrive."

Chase outlined Healing Warriors four-pillar approach: Strengthening Access and Delivery of Care, Coping Tools, Resourcing and Promoting Connectedness, and how the impact of their care extends beyond the individual veteran to their families. 

We discussed:

03:01 - Overview of Healing Warriors

10:13 - Unique Approach to Treating Veterans

12:09 - Acupuncture, Craniosacral Therapy, and other Alternative Methods for Healing

19:26 - Collaboration with other organizations

25:27 - Hesitancy and Skepticism in the Veteran Community

29:03 - Suicide Rates among Veterans/Contributing factors

41:47 - The First Year of Transition for Veterans

49:24 - The Staff Sergeant Parker Gordon Fox Suicide Prevention Grant

55:34 - The Four Pillars of Healing Warriors

01:01:18 - The Story of a Young Boy

01:01:54 - The Future of Healing Warriors

01:02:42 - How we can Support Healing Warriors

Social media, substances, work, streaming, pornography…pick your poison.  The frequency and intensity in which humans disconnect, or disassociate, from the speed and stress of everyday life is unprecedented, and growing worse each year.  If left unchecked, these tendencies become deeply embedded habits that chronically steal our attention and rob us of the ability to live meaningful, healthy lives in connection with ourselves, and others. 

How do we break free from these habits? 

JT Frank, founder of Consequence of Habit (COH) and host of the COH Podcast, joined the #LiveFitBreakFree podcast to help answer this pivotal question.

We discuss the formation and infestation of habits in our lives, how they impact us, and explore actionable steps to break free from addictions and harmful habits.  We also discuss the commoditization of human attention, and the importance of finding presence as a daily practice. 

In addition to founding COH, JT is a United States Air Force veteran, proud father of 3, and ambassador of Athletic Brewing Company.

COH is a certified 501(c)(3) charitable organization dedicated to empowering individuals and communities by bringing awareness to the impact habits have on our mental health, success and the environment.

How do we find "meaning" in life, and what does "meaning" even mean? Are we pursuing meaning based on our OWN wants/needs/desires, or what others instilled in us? Could our unhealthy ego be dictating our life, instead of our "good ego"? All thought provoking questions we explored with the mighty Benoit Kim on episode 7 of the Live Deep podcast.

Benoit Kim is a US Army veteran, Penn-educated former policy maker turned psychotherapist, and host of the Discover More podcast. His show is #1 in all independent science podcasts, #16 overall in all science podcasts, and a rising show on the Apple Podcasts top 100 in 2024.

(03:44.022): "In America, we put productivity and self-worth on a pedestal through the lens of prestige or accolades... I lived in this paradigm of achievements over all things."

(08:53.514): "Unless you've been confronted with meaningless activities, you don't realize what's meaningful... Without addiction, recovery means nothing."

(15:56.05): "True seeking and finding your inner truth requires sacrifice. But the question is, is it worth living a life knowing it's not the life you designed for yourself?"

(19:14.134): "All worthy lives, all worthy pursuits in life, including seeking meaning, requires great effort."

(25:34.506): "Ego is not a bad thing... It serves a purpose and a function. I believe grief is a price we pay to experience love."

(32:50.314): "Words are cheap, but your behavior patterns will not lie to you. That's the behavior gap analysis."

(42:48.17): "Parents are just older children having children for the first time."

(51:39.406): "Veterans... they're very lonely, very, very lonely. Loneliness is their number one struggle, and number two is substance abuse or addiction to cover up the fact that they're lonely."

Mike Weshnak is a New Jersey-based competitive powerlifter, skateboarder, husband, father and real estate professional. Mike joins us on LFBF episode 3 to share his incredible journey, from rebellious youth on the Jersey Shore, through years of active addiction, to marriage, fatherhood, and celebrating 8 years of sobriety this January.  In this episode, Mike shares his journey from a younger, party lifestyle in San Diego, to descending into the depths of addiction, and eventually finding his purpose and freedom through powerlifting and his family. Mike discusses the impact of addiction on his relationships, and the turning point that led him to seek help. Mike also talks about his deep passion for powerlifting and how it has become intertwined with his recovery journey. Mike is a walking testimony of personal growth and transformation.  Addiction can lead to a secret life and alter egos, causing a disconnect between one's true self and the image presented to others. Support from loved ones, especially a partner, can play a crucial role in recovery and provide motivation to change. Powerlifting can serve as a positive outlet and source of discipline for individuals in recovery, offering a sense of purpose and accomplishment. Gratitude and acceptance of one's past experiences, even the difficult ones, can contribute to personal growth and resilience.  Chapters - 00:00 Early Years and Move to San Diego - 01:02 Party Lifestyle in San Diego - 01:58 Moving Back Home and Descending into Addiction - 03:29 Secret Life and Alter Egos - 05:34 The Worst Years of Addiction - 06:13 Surviving and Basic Needs - 07:45 Impact on Relationships - 09:16 The Turning Point and Seeking Help - 11:41 Entering Detox and Finding Hope - 13:09 Challenges in Recovery - 15:26 Support from Loved Ones - 19:50 Introduction to Powerlifting - 21:59 Powerlifting as a Sport - 25:23 The Intensity of Heavy Lifts - 26:54 Nutrition and Powerlifting - 29:43 Advice to Younger Self - 34:00 Challenges Faced - 38:10 Overcoming Obstacles - 40:01 Strategies For Continued Success Follow us and get plugged in at www.altumfitness.com

Modern parenting is exhausting—and the answer isn’t doing more.

What if being a "Good Enough" parent is more than enough for your kids?

On this week's episode, we talk about the quiet exhaustion of modern parenting, why perfectionism is stealing our joy (and presence), and how social media has warped our sense of what it means to be a “good parent.”

If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed, guilty, or like you're missing the moments that matter—this one’s for you.

Running Free is a weekly podcast about turning down the noise, living with intention, and breaking free from the habits, distractions, and mindsets that hold us back.

Hosted by veteran, mental health advocate, fitness expert, and father of three Jesse Carrajat, each episode curiously explores what it means to live fully—through honest conversations with thinkers, creators, and everyday people who will teach and inspire us to trade distraction for depth, and frivolousness for healthy, long, meaningful lives.

Stop chasing. Start Running FREE.

Stress isn’t going anywhere. Life will throw punches, pressure will build, and if you don’t have a plan, stress will own you.

That’s why in Part 2 of the Mastering Stress series, we’re moving beyond the foundation (sleep, nutrition, and organization) and diving into real-time stress management strategies—the tools that help you absorb stress, channel it into something productive, and break the cycle of self-medication.

In this episode, we cover:
- Why overstimulation is ruining your ability to handle stress (and how to fix it)
- The power of movement—how fitness acts as a natural stress relief system
- The best supplements for mental resilience—and why no pill can replace real habits

If you’re tired of stress leading you toward alcohol, unhealthy food, or mindless distractions, this episode will show you how to fight back.

Stress is the #1 reason people self-medicate—whether it’s alcohol, food, social media, or any other escape. But here’s the truth: you don’t need another drink, another distraction, or another excuse. You need a gameplan.

This is Part 1 of the Mastering Stress series, where we stop playing defense and start playing offense. In this episode, we break down the three pillars of stress-proofing your life:

- Sleep – The foundation of stress resilience. If you’re sleep-deprived, you’re already losing the battle.
-Nutrition – How to fuel your body and brain to handle stress instead of crumbling under it.
- Time Management – Because chaos and poor structure are making your stress worse.

This isn’t theory. This is science-backed, real-world strategy. The kind that stops stress from controlling you—so you can live life more free.

Caffeine is the most widely used psychoactive drug on the planet—but how much do you actually know about it? From lattes to pre-workouts, it’s sold as a productivity booster and performance hack.

In this episode, we pull back the curtain on the world’s favorite legal drug and unpack what your daily habit might really be costing you.

Expect to learn how caffeine affects your brain and nervous system, how dependency builds over time, why withdrawal hits harder than people expect, how marketing and culture normalize overconsumption, and how to reset your relationship with caffeine for long-term health and energy.

Social media isn’t just a habit—it’s a full-blown addiction. It hijacks your brain, steals your time, and rewires the way you think, work, and interact with the world. And the worst part? It’s happening to millions of people without them even realizing it.

In this episode, we break down five shocking statistics that expose the true cost of social media addiction—not just on your mental health, but on your productivity, relationships, and even your safety.

• How much time are you really losing to scrolling?
• What is social media doing to your brain—especially if you started young?
• Why is it more addictive than alcohol and cigarettes?
• What can you do to take back control?

Most people won’t make it to the end of this episode. Not because they don’t have time—but because their attention span has already been hijacked.

Tune in, for help tuning out, social media.
