22 ENE. 2026 · Don't let its lack of classification fool you!
Even though Orthorexia does not yet meet criteria for an already established DSM Eating Disorder, it can impact functioning & physical and emotional health and, moreso, it can be either a subtle gateway into other ED's or it can suspend a person on an ED recovery path by keeping them from full recovery with one foot in and one foot out. Marked by thoughts and behaviors that are disproportionately focused on health, wellness, diet trends and food & body fears. These are often absolute rules or choices with a rigid and black & white framework. Because those with Orthorexia may not be malnourished, may not be medically fragile, may not be in higher level of care and may not be overtly identified, they are often able to rationalize that they are not disordered. Some of these rules and ideas for food & wellness on their own may not be harmful practice & may be logical for some but in a rigid setting and in an ED prone brain they are only ok, until they're not ok. This podcast explores some specific features and behaviors of Orthorexia.

Dr. Gaudiani: Treating ED patients with dignity & compassion.

7 OCT. 2025 · Human biology is far more expansive than the simple categories of female and male
Being human entails a complex interplay of biology and culture, and while there are important differences between women and men, there are also many variations and overlap. Sex Is a Spectrum offers a bold new paradigm for understanding the biology of sex, drawing on the latest science to explain why the binary view of the sexes is fundamentally flawed*.
Our conversation explores patterns across animal species, bio-cultural roles and impact, historical perspectives on sex & gender, why men have nipples, how female hyenas are bad a**, where political and social structures can occlude progress & how an honest, science-based foundation is paramount for being curious, learning & talking about the human experience at large.
Agustín Fuentes is professor of anthropology at Princeton University. His books include Race, Monogamy, and Other Lies They Told You: Busting Myths about Human Nature; The Creative Spark: How Imagination Made Humans Exceptional; and Why We Believe: Evolution and the Human Way of Being.

5 SEP. 2025 · "I have been to hell & back & now it's my time." And now in his inspiring voice!
Like a Phoenix Rising from the Ashes: The Antonio Levert Story.
Antonio Levert has a mission to educate and inspire advocacy for children & young adults in foster & adoptive care. His story is tough to digest but vital for conveying the gravity of need to protect & support our young people and the people who help them matriculate through life. Antonio bounced between over 10 placements including an adoptive home, numerous foster care settings, inpatient & residential stays and various levels of county and therapeutic interventions. He endured interpersonal disruptions, emotional and physical abuse, neglect & a scripted narrative that “he wasn’t good enough to be loved.” Even through these obstacles, glimmers of his value surfaced – he was a gifted & bright student, kindred & loving, eager, loyal, spiritual, strong willed & driven. But it would not be an easy path. At 30, he has evolved into a ‘phoenix rising from the ashes’: a rare & unique success story built on a shaky & sometimes cruel foundation. He teaches that what you learn to take away from your journey by having faith, addressing mental health, connecting with a community and finding grace and forgiveness will set you free and keep you ‘Rising!'

14 JUL. 2025 · “We’re not looking for answers outside ourselves, we know how to find them within."
Today’s guest is Estefana Johnson, LCSW, a trauma therapist and Director of Clinical Training at ARISE Alliance, who’s leading the launch of a powerful new therapy model called Critical Memory Integration (CMI™). CMI™ is a modality that marries many components of evidenced-based trauma informed care into one gentle, quick and safe template for providers. CMI™ teaches that the client is the expert who can heal with experiential space where their subconscious can learn what it already intuitively knows. Engaging components of the program include using curiosity as an asset and defining mood and traumatic signals to learn and modify how you have adapted to past experiences. Estefana brings a passion and energy to this modality borrowing from her background with at-risk and foster care children with ASA Now, being a team player on Jacob’s Law legislature & her own personal journey as a first generation Mexican-American woman. CMI™ is potentially groundbreaking as a simple, intuitive & effective intervention for anyone suffering from trauma or mood dysregulation.
