In this episode of Pharmaphobic, we’re diving into something big—depression and how it connects to what we eat, how we move, who we’re around, and how we live.

We talk about new CDC data showing one in three teenagers is prediabetic. That statistic shook us. We dive into how early these issues really begin, what our ki...

2025/07/29

Hey guys, it’s Dan and Janie & we’re going down one of our favorite rabbit holes, nutrition. We’re unpacking why the gym is the easy part, and how what’s really holding people back from true health is happening in their kitchens, not their workouts. From strawberries that look like candy to seedless fruit, GMOs, food dye bans, and what we’re feeding our kids in school lunches, we’re talking about all of it. And yep, we’re getting into the connection between nutrition and ADHD too. If you’...

In this episode of Pharmaphobic, Dan and Janie discuss one of Hippocrates’ most powerful truths: “Everyone wants to heal until the medicine shows up in the form of discipline.” What starts as a quote quickly turns into a deeper look at why so many people chase hacks, aesthetics, and shortcuts—while avoiding the real work.
