In this episode, we kick things off with a real convo about how social media messes with our dopamine, focus, and overall well-being. From no-social Sundays to falling down the doomscrolling rabbit hole, we talk about how tech overload chips away at our mental health - and why unplugging might be exactly what your brain needs.

Then we dive into the rising obsession with GLP meds. We break down how they work, where the medical industry might be missing the mark, and why lifestyle changes still matter most in the long run. Whether you’ve been curious about GLPs or just want to feel better in your own body, we’ve got some real, practical insight to help you feel stronger, live longer, and reconnect with what your body actually needs.

In this powerful episode of Pharmaphobic, we sit down with Jiu Jitsu black belt, coach, and speaker Kelly Beringson, whose journey is anything but ordinary. From battling addiction and a life altering disability to reclaiming her health, power, and purpose through Jiu Jitsu, Kelly gets real about what it takes to rise mentally, physically, and emotionally.

We talk about her 150 plus pound weight loss, her first steps on the mat, and why Jiu Jitsu is so much more than just a martial art. It’s therapy. It’s movement. It’s growth. It’s the daily reminder that freedom is an inside job.

Expect truth bombs on trauma, body image, ego, community, and why your journey doesn’t need to look like anyone else’s. Whether you’re deep in your own health comeback or just curious how someone goes from “you’ll never walk again” to teaching others how to roll, this one’s for you.

Takeaway:

Find your tribe… until you can be your own.

In this episode of Pharmaphobic, Dan and Janie discuss one of Hippocrates’ most powerful truths: “Everyone wants to heal until the medicine shows up in the form of discipline.” What starts as a quote quickly turns into a deeper look at why so many people chase hacks, aesthetics, and shortcuts—while avoiding the real work.

They explore how extremes in fitness, food tracking, fasting, and even “clean eating” can spiral into dysfunction, and why sustainable health is about more than just motivation. Discipline isn’t about being rigid—it’s about being consistent, strategic, and in tune with your body. From honoring your hunger cues to knowing when to rest, Dan and Janie break down what it really means to show up for your health every day.

This episode is a call to stop outsourcing your wellness and start taking ownership—one decision, one habit, one meal at a time.
