The Real Reason You Can't Break Bad Habits (It's Not Willpower)! Psychologist Explains the Science of Identity with Dr. Adi Jaffe

This episode is brought to you by Strong Coffee Company, Supp Co, and WHOOP. In this episode of Ever Forward Radio, psychologist and addiction expert Dr. Adi Jaffe reframes addiction, compulsive behavior, and self-sabotage as intelligent coping strategies rather than personal failures. He explains why labeling people as "addicts" creates shame and traps identity, how early childhood and even preverbal experiences shape adult behavior, and why most habits don't change through awareness alone. Dr. Jaffe introduces his SPARO Behavioral Loop—stimulus, perception, activation, response, outcome—to show how emotions and bodily sensations, not events themselves, drive behavior. Together, they explore identity, responsibility without blame, growth mindset, emotional regulation, stoicism, belief systems, and why sustainable change comes from reshaping perception and nervous system responses rather than fighting behaviors directly. This conversation offers a compassionate, practical framework for breaking patterns and moving forward—without shame.

How to Safely Stop Psychiatric Medication with Dr. Mark Horowitz

Join this episode of What You're Craving as Molly connects with Dr. Mark Horowitz. Dr. Mark is a Clinical Research Fellow in Psychiatry North East London NHS Foundation Trust (NELFT), and today he talks about depression, the different symptoms and treatments of this condition, antidepressant withdrawal, and the side effects of discontinuing it too quickly. With a background that very much matches his line of study today, Dr. Mark has been researching how depression works, what the causes and life experiences associated with it are, and the many health conditions produced by medication withdrawal. Also, according to him, the idea that depression is merely a chemical imbalance is a misconception. Dr. Mark explains that everyone has gone through some depressive state in their lives, and everyone has or will have depression to some degree. This condition can be caused when our emotional needs are not being met, and everyone is susceptible to this situation. Tune in to understand more about antidepressant withdrawal, the placebo effect, the correlation between depression and weight loss, and much more. Episode Quotes "You hear these people that have perfect lives but then depression just drops in their lap… I have never met such a person. Everybody that I have met that has been depressed has had clear reasons in their lives." "It appears that we become depressed as a response to things in our lives."

In a heartfelt segment, we delved into the complex emotions of transitioning after selling a company, examining the sense of lost purpose and the quest for meaning beyond financial success. Alongside friends Taylor and Joe, we explored the impact of friendships, authenticity in content creation, and the therapeutic nature of simple tasks like yard work. The discussion highlighted the importance of a supportive network, the inspiration drawn from each other, and the gratitude for pivotal life influences.

Episode 72: Case Study #9: 65-Year-Old Female Presenting to Clinic with SOB and Palpitations

A 65-year-old African-American woman presented to the emergency room complaining of worsening shortness of breath and palpitations for about 1 week. She reports feeling "dizzy" on and off for the past year; the dizziness is associated with weakness that has been worsening for the past month. She has been feeling "too tired" to even walk to her backyard and water her flower bed that she used to do "all the time." She has been so dyspneic walking up the stairs at her home that she moved downstairs to the guest room about a week ago. Review of systems is significant for knee pain, for which she frequently takes aspirin or ibuprofen; otherwise the review of systems is negative. She has no significant medical history and has not been to a doctor in several years. She had a normal well-woman examination and screening colonoscopy about 5 years ago. She occasionally has an alcoholic drink and denies tobacco or drug use. She is married and is a retired shopkeeper. On examination, her blood pressure is 150/85 mm Hg; her pulse is 98 beats/min; her respiratory rate is 20 breaths/min; her temperature is 98.7 degrees; and her oxygen saturation is 99% on room air. Significant findings on examination include conjunctival pallor, milk tenderness with deep palpation in the epigastric and left upper quadrant region of the abdomen with normal bowel sounds, and no organomegaly but positive stool guaiac test. The remainder of the examination, including respiratory, cardiovascular, and nervous systems, was normal.
