    NLE Choppa’s #SlutSzn, Chingy vs. Sidney Starr, & Chris Brown vs. Quavo Beef!

    NLE Choppa’s #SlutSzn, Chingy vs. Sidney Starr, & Chris Brown vs. Quavo Beef!

    🌟 Welcome to another electrifying live episode of Mental Man Mondays! I’m your host, Izzy and today we’re unpacking some heavy hitters in the world of entertainment and mental health with my fantastic guests from I Have a Friend’s Podcast—the insightful Kirk and the ever-thoughtful Keith.

    🎙️ First up, we revisit last week’s episode of PSA where we explored the murky waters of Big Pharma with Dr. Kernutt. We all shared a laugh about the Ozempic weight loss craze—definitely not on our to-do list!

    🌟 Next, we dive into the career of rapper Chingy and the controversy with transgender model Sidney Starr. A moment on TMZ likened to ‘spilled milk’, Chingy’s career felt the impact despite Sidney’s apology. Kirk admires Chingy’s mature handling of the situation, while Keith would’ve taken it to court. It’s a discussion on reputation, forgiveness, and the lasting effects of public perception.

    🕺 Moving on to rapper NLE Choppa and his ‘Slut Season’ antics—dancing, gyrating, and channeling Tupac with chains in a bathtub. It’s bold, it’s brash, and as Keith and Kirk suggest, possibly a bit too zesty. We tackle what it means to maintain an image in the limelight and the potential regrets that come with controversial acts.

    🎤 We cap off with the fiery exchange between Chris Brown and Quavo. Diss tracks flying left and right, referencing past pains and stoking the flames of rap rivalry. We ponder the purpose behind these sudden beefs—could there be more strategic moves behind the scenes?

    🚀 Strap in for this rollercoaster ride on Mental Man Mondays, where we peel back the layers of the entertainment industry and take a hard look at the mental maneuvers within. Hit subscribe to keep up with the conversation and share this episode to spread the critical discussions!

    How Dr. Justin Curnutt Exposed Big Pharma's Deception, Ozempic & Started a Holistic Movement Part 1

    How Dr. Justin Curnutt Exposed Big Pharma's Deception, Ozempic & Started a Holistic Movement Part 1

    Welcome to Episode 3, Part 1 of Season 8 of "P.S.A: The Mental Health Podcast."

    Have you ever wondered what made "Ozempic" so popular out of nowhere? Why did no one talk about the deadly toxins in the #COVID-19 vaccine when they were announced? Well, I'm here to get to the bottom of this today!

    Today, we're cutting through the noise with Dr. Justin Curnutt, Director of Wellness Education and Integrative Health Strategies at Beyond Health International. With over a decade of experience as a holistic pharmacist, Dr. Curnutt brings a wealth of knowledge about the intersections of allopathic medicine and holistic health practices.

    🎙️ Diving Deep with Dr. Curnutt
    In this episode, Dr. Curnutt challenges the conventional "sick care" model promoted by big pharma and discusses his journey from witnessing the inner workings of the pharmaceutical industry to promoting holistic health strategies that prioritize patient wellness over profit.🔍

    Unpacking Misconceptions
    Host Izzy Baker opens with a fiery take on the current medical treatments glorified in media, such as Ozempic, and discusses the misleading portrayal of such drugs in the recent Wendy Williams documentary. Will your stomach explode in the near future? Maybe it will, maybe it won't!  This sets the stage for a candid discussion about the reality of pharmaceuticals and their often overlooked consequences on mental and physical health.

    💊 Pharmakeia: From Medicine to Sorcery
    The term "Pharmakeia," which historically encompasses the use of drugs, whether as medicine, poisons, or in sorcery, serves as a backdrop for today’s conversation. Dr. Curnutt and Izzy explore how modern pharmaceuticals can sometimes blur the lines between helping and harming, discussing the ethical dilemmas and mental health impacts associated with medication and treatment choices.

    🌿 Holistic Health vs. Pharmaceutical Drugs
    Dr. Curnutt shares insights on the significant differences between holistic remedies and pharmaceutical drugs, focusing on how each approach affects the healing process. They delve into misunderstood drug and herb interactions, the regulation of natural supplements, and the promising potential of holistic approaches to foster true healing.

    🧠 Mental Health and Accountability in Medicine
    The discussion also covers the heavy influence of pharmaceutical companies in public health policies and how this affects public trust and patient care. They address the critical issue of mental health care during the pandemic, conspiracy theories around medications, and the push for a more informed public that holds health industries accountable.

    👥 Natural Immunity vs. Vaccination
    A hot topic in today's health discussion, Dr. Curnutt provides a balanced view on the benefits of vaccinations compared to natural immunity, and why understanding both is crucial for making informed health decisions. The conversation emphasizes the need for a personalized approach to health that respects the body’s capabilities and the potential enhancements offered by certain vaccinations.

    🚀 Stay Tuned for Part 2
    What does Dr. Curnutt think about the use of controversial treatments like psychedelics in mental health therapy? And what’s his take on those who reject vaccines but readily take over-the-counter solutions like aspirin or ibuprofen? These questions and more will be addressed in the next episode, so tune in! Join us as we challenge the norms, question the status quo, and deeply dive into what true health means in a world dominated by pills and profit-driven motives. Your journey towards a healthier, more aware self starts here.

    Eclipse Drama: J. Cole’s Sorry to Kendrick & Kevin Gates’ Wild Bath

    Eclipse Drama: J. Cole’s Sorry to Kendrick & Kevin Gates’ Wild Bath

    🌟 Welcome to a super special live edition of Mental Man Mondays! I’m your buddy Izzy , and today, we’re diving into some big talks with my amazing guest, the one and only Beau, who’s not just awesome on the mic but also writes books and gives advice that will blow your mind. 

    🌞 First off, we’re talking about the solar eclipse that had everyone talking and looking up (when they really shouldn’t have been!). It’s kinda like when you know you shouldn’t do something, but you do it anyway. Beau and I will dig into why people get so caught up in the moment, and how this eclipse got everyone stirred up – especially with that wild earthquake in New York happening right around the same time. It’s all about how big events make us feel and act, and hey, maybe there’s more to it than we think.

    🔍 Then, we’re jumping into the deep end with a chat about conspiracy theories. You know, those big, wild ideas some folks really believe? Well, sometimes, they get things right, and we’re going to talk about why it’s important to question things but also not get lost in theories. It’s like keeping your mind open but not so open that your brain falls out!

    🛀 Moving on, we’ll talk about something that got everyone typing away on the shaderoom – famous rapper Kevin Gates chilling in a bathtub on Instagram. Some people got all worked up about it, guessing about his life because of one picture. But here’s the twist: he was actually sharing a cool health tip. Beau and I will break down why it’s easy to get caught up in what we see online and forget to listen to the real message. It’s a lesson in not judging a book by its cover and finding the real story.

    🎤 Last but not least, we’ve got the scoop on some rap beef. It’s about J. Cole saying sorry to Kendrick Lamar out loud and in front of everyone. It’s a big deal because it shows even famous people can admit when they’re wrong and say sorry. Beau’s got some smart takes on why saying sorry is tough but super important, and how this whole thing shows us it’s okay to mess up and make it right.

    🚀 So strap in for this wild ride on Mental Man Mondays, where we talk about the big stuff, the weird stuff, and everything in between, all with a cool spin on mental health. Because talking about what’s going on inside is just as important as what’s happening outside.
