Dr. Adi Jaffe, Ph.D., best-selling author of “Unhooked”, founder of IGNTD Recovery, and a world-renowned expert on mental health, addiction, relationships, and shame again joins eHealth Radio and the Addiction Prevention and Mental Health Channels.

Listen to interview with host Eric Michaels & guest Dr. Adi Jaffe discuss the following:

1. What are some biohacking practices that are more harmful than helpful, especially for your mental health?
2. Why is perfectionism and control drive compulsive health behaviors - and how do we recognize when “optimization” crosses into obsession?
3. How does elitism of extreme biohacking fuel shame and anxiety among those just trying to live healthier?
4. What is the false (or at least completely unproven) promise that drives biohacking marketing?
5. What are simple, sustainable steps to improve health without compromising our well-being?

Tip: Changing your behavior is NOT really about stopping that behavior at all; it's about uncovering, relieving, and redirecting the pressure that is causing it in the first place!

Adi Jaffe, Ph.D. is the author of “Unhooked” and is a world-renowned expert on mental health, addiction, relationships, and shame. The founder of IGNTD Recovery, a Smart Personalized Adaptive Recovery System, Dr. Jaffe was a lecturer in the Psychology department at UCLA for the better part of a decade and was the Executive Director and Co-Founder of one of the most progressive addiction treatment facilities in the country.

As a young man, Dr. Adi Jaffe’s battle with addiction nearly landed him a decades-long prison sentence. He now holds a Ph.D. in psychology from the University of California, Los Angeles, and has used his personal experience as an inspirational and motivational tool. Passionate about the role of shame in destroying lives, he’s made it his life’s mission to help reduce the stigma of mental health in this country. In addition to his blog on Psychology Today, Dr. Jaffe’s work and research have been widely published in both academic journals and popular magazines and websites.

The best-selling author of “The Abstinence Myth,” Dr. Jaffe’s latest book, “Unhooked: Free Yourself from Addiction Forever” (Hachette Book Group), shares his shame-free, step-by-step program to destigmatize addiction using habit-change knowledge and tools to help readers ‘unhook’ for an addiction-free life. “Unhooked” is available everywhere you buy books.

Frequently called on the media for his expertise, Dr. Jaffe has appeared on Good Morning America, CNN, and KTLA Morning News, featured on notable podcasts including Getting Curious with Jonathan Van Ness and The Dr. Drew Podcast, and has provided his expert opinions to The Huffington Post and the Los Angeles Times, among many other prestigious outlets.

Stella Furlong, MA, and debut author of “Why Me and other frequently asked questions”, a Memoir and Self-Help Hybrid joins eHealth Radio and the Health News and Mental Health Channels.

Listen to interview with host Eric Michaels & guest Stella Furlong discuss the following:

1. Can you explain why you chose the title of your book: Why Me and other frequently asked questions?
2. Tell us about your background. I am sure that would help connect the dots there.
3. Who is your target audience?
4. Tell us about your co-author.
5. Tell us about what led to your transformation later in life.

Feedback on the book has been incredible. People from all walks of life have opened up and confided in me about their problems, their family and friends. I have become an ambassador for mental health. It's not a heavy read. I aim to inspire and entertain. Its funny.

More Ruby Wax OBE, author, actress, comedian and broadcaster who has depression and Sir Stephen Fry, author, actor, director comedian, broadcaster and quiz show host who has bipolar disorder. My role models. It is preventative. I warn you of possible triggers to avoid. Things that can press your buttons. We are vulnerable when we have had an episode. We are weak and need to build up our resilience.

I show you tricks of the mind to put you in a more positive place and combat stigma. Meditation has worked wonders for me. Don’t knock it till you’ve tried it! My sister and I went on a Buddhist retreat in Derbyshire, UK a couple of years ago at the Tara International Kadampa Centre. The tide is turning in a time of global crisis in mental health. I am calling for a more holistic treatment of body, mind and spirit. Family and friends can be supportive. They can also be tactless. We are the black sheep. Sarcasm can wound us deeply. Drink and drugs are up there too, of course.

I was in Pub Watch. Banned from local pubs for unruly behavior. I talk about Food for Mood. The importance of diet. I lost 63 lbs with Slimming World. I look and feel great. The prescription drugs turned me into a fat zombie with the classic shuffling gait. I got kidney damage from being put on an inaccurately monitored dose of lithium.

The book traces the historic abuse of the mentally ill. Patients were treated badly by an authoritarian and sometimes cruel regime. We are still looking for answers to Why Me. In 100 AD a Roman poet, Juvenal spoke of the ideal: a healthy mind in a healthy body. We are still asking the question How? In 2026. The book is both timely and timeless. Timely in a global crisis. Timeless. The questions remain.

I’ve just touched the surface. Buy the book and find out more.

Fabian Calvo, Co-founder of BoomRx which is the fastest-growing national pharmaceutical technology platform that simplifies prescription sourcing and fulfillment joins eHealth Radio and the Pharmaceutical & Health News Channels.

Listen to interview with host Eric Michaels & guest Fabian Calvo discuss the following:

1. The pharmaceutical supply chain has faced unprecedented stress in recent years. What structural weaknesses did you see firsthand, and how is BoomRx redesigning sourcing and fulfillment to reduce vulnerability for medical clinics?
2. For years, pharmacy sourcing decisions were often driven by cost alone. What does true supply-chain resilience look like today, and how should physician practices rethink the way they evaluate pharmacy partners?
3. You’ve positioned BoomRx as a technology platform, not just a sourcing solution. How does centralized visibility and automation strengthen consistency, transparency, and predictability in pharmaceutical fulfillment?
4. Breakdowns in communication often create more disruption than product shortages themselves. How are you building systems that improve responsiveness and accountability between pharmacies and physician practices?
5. As health, wellness and longevity therapies and specialized compounded medications expand, what operational shifts must medical clinics make now to ensure they’re working with supply partners that can scale responsibly and compliantly?
6. If you could give physician practices one actionable tip to immediately strengthen their pharmacy sourcing and fulfillment strategy, what would it be?

Fabian Calvo is a longevity industry executive and pharmaceutical supply chain strategist who has built, scaled, and led multiple companies across the compounding pharmacy, API sourcing, and clinic fulfillment ecosystem.

He currently serves as Interim CEO and Member of the Board at WellSync Rx, a longevity medicine and strategic sourcing company based in Los Angeles. Fabian is also Co-Founder of four interconnected ventures that span the pharmaceutical supply chain:

• Gatlan (2022) — A longevity medicine platform based in Los Angeles
• NuCare API (2023) — An active pharmaceutical ingredient sourcing company based in Orange County, Calif.
• BoomRx (2024) — A pharmacy portal and technology platform for physician practices, based in Tampa, Fla.
• ProRx Pharma (2024) — A 503B outsourcing facility based in Exton, Penn.

Together, these companies form an integrated infrastructure for longevity medicine—from raw ingredient sourcing to compounding to clinic fulfillment—giving Fabian a rare end-to-end view of the pharmaceutical supply chain.

His work extends into regulatory and policy engagement. Fabian has participated in direct discussions with FDA leadership, including meetings with Dr. Martin Makary, on issues ranging from peptide reclassification (the recent Category 2 to Category 1 transition) to the SAPIR initiative—the federal effort to reshore active pharmaceutical ingredient manufacturing to the United States.

At BoomRx, Fabian is helping build what he calls "the only pharmacy portal a physician practice needs"—a technology platform that consolidates multi-pharmacy workflows into one system with flat-rate shipping to all 50 states, live tracking, access to 300+ medications (many with extended Beyond-Use Dates), and best-rate pricing.

Outside of his operating roles, Fabian advises elite founders, executives, and high-net-worth individuals on longevity and performance optimization. He publishes “Long Live,” a weekly newsletter on the intersection of longevity, performance, and what he sees from inside the supply chain.

He is based in Los Angeles County, California.
