Dr. Joseph Mercola - Take Control of Your HealthC-Section Aftermath: What Your Doctor Might Not Tell You - AI PodcastStory at-a-glance For more than a century, there has been a push to medicalize childbirth and transform it from a natural life event to something requiring major interventions so nothing goes amiss Many of the standard procedures done during hospital births increase your risk of needing other invasive interventions, eventually cascading into requiring a cesarean section Like other major abdominal surgeries, C-sections expose mothers to significant risk, require a prolonged recovery, and leave large scars which can cause a wide range of chronic issues C-sections also expose infants to real risks and predispose them to a variety of...2025-03-2811 min

DEPTH Work: A Holistic Mental Health Podcast101. Rethinking Assumptions Within Psychiatry & Developing Conceptual Competence with Awais Aftab“Any movement that aspires to be critical must be self-critical. There is value in approaching 'critical' not as an identity, a label, or a dividing line, but rather as a mode of engagement, as a virtue of philosophical and scientific thought. Critical psychiatry, if it is to embody this virtue, can only do so by insisting that it is a 'theory in the making' and by demonstrating continuous self-criticism, questioning, re-examination, and exploration of new possibilities.” - Awais Aftab, Conversations in Critical PsychiatryTo move beyond binaries in mental health, we must complicate questions such as...2025-02-171h 17

Wise EffortReal Play: A Bio-Psycho-Social Network Approach to Looking at Your Problems With Dr. Diana Hill and Emily FanThis real play is like stepping into a therapy room with Dr. Diana Hill. Diana demonstrates how to view your problems as an interconnected network of biological, sociocultural, and psychological factors. The DSM is limited when it comes to looking at the complexity of human beings. It lacks individualization, tends to medicalize your problems, overemphasizes symptom reduction, and does not guide well which direction to go. Instead, you can explore the many factors that interact to create your problems so that you can intervene more effectively. Diana walks you through how to do this yourself.Related Resources2023-07-101h 03

Southern Alberta Council on Public Affairs (SACPA)Can Social Prescribing help improve our health and well-being challenges? With Heather Bursaw and Rob MiyashiroSocial prescribing is a means for health-care providers to connect patients to a range of non-clinical services in the community, in order to improve their health and well-being. As opposed to simply treating symptoms, social prescribing may help to address the underlying causes of patients’ health and well-being challenges. Ideally, social prescribing is a more holistic approach to health care, which promotes community-based integrated care, and helps to de-medicalize health service provision.

And while it’s important that mental health is de-stigmatized, and a good thing that it’s been relatively de-pathologized, in many ways, it has shifted into some kind of identity marker, almost like a sense of identity for people.

The DSM-5, as of 2022, lists criteria for 193 mental health disorders—a number that seems to expand with every edition. This episode challenges Western psychiatry's tendency to pathologize and medicalize human emotional distress, exploring what might happen if we viewed our symptoms not as problems to be "fixed," but as adaptive responses that reveal unmet needs and deeper truths about ourselves.Imagine seeing these intense...2023-04-041h 18

OscillationsPsychology Gone Wrong with Dr. Maciej ZatonskiIt is with some trepidation that we approach today’s topic. Nevertheless, given our throughline of the science of the mind in this podcast, the founders feel strongly that we need to address the pervasive cultural trend of psychotherapeutic practices. Psychotherapy is often taken for granted in many modern societies, and it’s often incorrectly seen as synonymous with psychology. What’s more, it’s also infiltrating culture, technology and art. We imagine that even the most open-minded and skeptical listeners with the sharpest skills for intellectualizing may have a reflexive resistance to the thesis of...2022-01-241h 20

Daniel Lieberman — Exercised: Why Something We Never Evolved to Do is Healthy and Rewarding “Nothing about the biology of exercise makes sense except in the light of evolution, and nothing about exercise as a behavior makes sense except in the light of anthropology.” In this myth-busting book, Daniel Lieberman, professor of human evolutionary biology at Harvard University and a pioneering researcher on the evolution of human physical activity, tells the story of how we never evolved to exercise — to do voluntary physical activity for the sake of health.
