    The Booze Paradox: Why Temperance Cultures Have The WORST Alcohol Problems

    Is alcohol inherently harmful, or is the way we talk about it the real problem? In this episode, Dr. Stanton Peele and Zach Rhoads tackle the cultural contradictions around alcohol consumption. They break down why countries that drink more tend to have fewer alcohol-related harms, why "NO SAFE LEVEL" messaging is misleading, and how a temperance mindset might actually INCREASE problem drinking. They also explore how harm reduction isn't about numbers -- it's about life. Tune in for a no-nonsense discussion that challenges mainstream narratives on addiction, public health, and the way we view substances.

    REBROADCAST: Re-Writing Your Life Story

    This is a playback of a 2018 episode of the LPP Podcast in which we discuss the following: The Life Process Program takes clients through a staged review of their life stories, focusing first on mistakes, continuing to how they might have acted differently to avoid these pitfalls, to re-conceiving their life stories to focus on positives, and finally to projecting their life stories forward into positive, life-fulfilling narratives. In today’s episode we incorporate LPP exercises and examples of Zach’s work with children, including sample maps he develops for each child,  to show how to put these steps into action in your own life and the lives of your children and other loved ones. Similarly, examples of coaching feedback to LPP clients (disguised, of course, like Zach’s plans with children) will be presented throughout to illustrate advice in implementing each stage of the re-writing of people’s narratives.

    This Man Studied the Lives of CENTENARIANS, What He Discovered May SHOCK You | Mario Martinez | LPP

    Dr. Mario Martinez is a neuropsychologist who lectures worldwide on how cultural beliefs affect health and longevity. He is also the author of The Mind Body Code --- which you can check out on amazon here: https://www.amazon.com/MindBody-Code-Beliefs-Longevity-Success/dp/1622037618 Importantly, Mario studies culture and belief systems, and how they affect longevity and well-being. (As opposed to a more conventional belief -- that genes pull the strings of our ultimate fate.) Zach explicates themes from Dr. Martinez's work, including his study of centenarians (people who live 100 years and longer); biocognitive science (a field which he founded); and the many ways that culture - and cultural beliefs - affect our health. ***** SUBSCRIBE to Our Channel ***** To get more of our content and help us grow: https://www.youtube.com/c/LifeProcessProgram?sub_confirmation=1 ***** FOLLOW us on Social ***** - Facebook: https://facebook.com/lifeprocessprogram - Twitter : https://twitter.com/lifeprocessprgm - Instagram: https://instagram.com/lifeprocessprogram - LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/life-process-program ***** CONTACT US ****** - Website: https://lifeprocessprogram.com - Text us: +1 (802) - 391 - 4360 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Learn more about Dr. Martinez' work here: https://www.biocognitiveculture.com/

    Most People Outgrow ADDICTION - 10 Minutes on How YOU Can Help

    Rat Park and Vietnam tell us two crucial things about addiction and recovery. They first show that recovery is a natural process when the organism returns to a normally rewarding and supportive environment. Even more importantly — certainly not the rats, but the human beings in Vietnam were never conditioned to think of themselves as “addicts.” Thus their identities were never trapped, which is the hardest thing to overcome. ***** SUBSCRIBE to Our Channel ***** To get more of our content and help us grow: https://www.youtube.com/c/LifeProcessProgram?sub_confirmation=1 ***** FOLLOW us on Social ***** - Facebook: https://facebook.com/lifeprocessprogram - Twitter : https://twitter.com/lifeprocessprgm - Instagram: https://instagram.com/lifeprocessprogram - LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/life-process-program ***** CONTACT US ****** - Website: https://lifeprocessprogram.com - Text us: +1 (802) - 391 - 4360
