    Arrested Across the Street From the Place That Saved His Life | Chris Glinski

    He was arrested in the parking lot across the street from No Longer Bound. Today he runs the therapy team. This is that story. In this episode of the PMP Show, Jeff Ridgway sits down with Chris Glinski - Clinical Director and therapist at No Longer Bound, one of the most respected long-term men's recovery programs in the country. Chris was a homeless heroin addict at 20, mandated to treatment by a court, and told a judge he couldn't stop on his own. That moment of honesty, in a jail cell, changed everything. This isn't an addiction awareness episode. It's a conversation about what's underneath the using - the shame, the identity, the emotions men were never taught to name - and what it actually takes to get free and stay free. What we cover: Why addiction is not a willpower problem - and what it actually isThe two emotions men are allowed to feel (and why that's the root of everything)What shame does to men that the substance never couldWhy you can be completely sober and still completely boundThe case for long-term treatment in a world that wants a 28-day fixWhat recovery looks like when life gets hard even after you're cleanA full-circle moment: standing in front of the DA and judge who sentenced him - and saying thank youThe playbook: for the man in it, the man watching someone he loves, and the man in early recovery holding onIf you're carrying something you haven't told anyone - this one's for you. Share it with a man who needs it. He probably won't find it on his own.

    The Men's Health Conversation Most Men Never Have | Dr. Steven Winiarski

    Most men don't talk about their health - not with their doctor, not with their friends, and honestly, not even with themselves. This conversation changes that. In this episode of the PMP Show, I sit down with Dr. Steven Winiarski, a men's health physician based in Atlanta who has spent his career sitting across from men at every stage of this journey - the ones who came in early, and the ones who waited too long. We talk about what's actually happening inside a man's body right now, and why the signals that matter most are almost always the ones being ignored. This isn't about optimization culture. It's about the gap between how long a man lives and how well he lives - and the honest information most men never get.What we cover: - Why testosterone decline starts earlier than most men think - The cardiovascular disease quietly building for 20+ years before any symptoms - What chronic stress is actually doing to your hormones - What's the PESA study and what it changes about heart health - TRT, GLP-1s, peptides, NAD+, cold plunge - rated honestly, 1 to 10 - ED as a diagnostic window, not a bedroom problem - Why "normal" testosterone on paper doesn't mean optimal in life - The mental health cost men pay in silence - and what it does to the body - A decade-by-decade playbook: what to do at 20, 30, 40, 50+ Share this with a man who needs it - because he probably won't find it on his own.
