Jordan Peterson, clinical psychologist and public intellectual, opens up about years of severe illness and a trail of experimental interventions. He recounts risky treatments from benzodiazepine withdrawal to coma detoxes and overseas regenerative therapies.

A deep dive into the influencer-driven electrolyte boom and how salt, sugar, potassium and added B vitamins became lifestyle commodities.

You’ve heard of Project 2025: the manifesto that has become the de facto guiding light for the second Trump administration. Its twisted Christian-nationalist agenda has brought us a wave of ICE raids across America, tax cuts for billionaire, gutted climate policies and using the FBI to prosecute and harass political opponents. Project 2025 was written by the conservative DC think tank, the Heritage Foundation, which recently released a new vision for women’s role in society called “Saving America by Saving the Family: A Foundation for the Next 250 Years” that aims to severely curtail women’s rights, including the right to divorce and maybe even vote. To talk about it today I’ve brought on the New York Times opinion columnist and author of the book “Screaming on the Inside: The Unsustainability of American Motherhood” Jessica Grose onto the show today.Jess Grose on Instagramhttps://www.instagram.com/jessgrosewrites/Her website: https://jessicagrose.com/Get Early Access on Substackhttps://sgcarney.substack.com/Join this channel to get access to perks:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC3PyxGKt94kLzVqkkjEgRFw/join
