The Dr. Phil Podcast (Dr. Phil McGraw )

Approximately half of the people in the United States experience some mental health issue. “If your brain is not right, you’re going to get nowhere,” Dr. Phil says. New breakthroughs in neuroscience are helping to identify different brain types, helping to prevent and reverse many disorders and are ending the common practice of symptom-based diagnosis. In this episode, Dr. Phil talks to world-renowned mental health expert Dr. Daniel Amen about the work that’s changing the way we think about mental health, and his book “The End Of Mental Illness”. The term “mental illness” itself is no longer considered accurate. Listen in and learn the latest and best science and give you and your loved ones the very best chance at a long and happy life! http://drphilintheblanks.com/ Interested in advertising on the show?

Sen. Scott Wiener Discusses ‘Safe Sites’ For Drug Addicts To Use California State Senator Scott Wiener joins Dr. Phil on his Phil in the Blanks podcast to discuss “safe sites” for drug addicts to use. Senator Wiener, who wrote Senate Bill 57, which would have legalized safe consumption sites in San Francisco, Oakland, Los Angeles and Los Angeles County, shares why he says he considers this to be life-saving legislation – and why he thinks Governor Newsom vetoed it.   “We have tried arresting people, incarcerating people, and for some, that works,” Senator Wiener says. “But for most people, it doesn’t. That’s what safe consumption sites are about – first and foremost, making sure people don’t die.”   New episodes drop Tuesdays.

Victimhood culture, a concept that originates in sociology, is today defined as a tendency of people to over-emphasize the need to protect their (sexual, gender, ethnic) identity and to present themselves as victims, even if the alleged offense was minor or only imagined. My guest today, PASTOR JAMES WARD, says that the “core conviction to overcome is the first step to shifting from victim to zero victim thinking.” We are discussing Pastor James’ book “Zero Victim: Overcoming Injustice with a New Attitude” and ways we can get out of victimhood.    Check out: Women's Meditation Network : linktr.ee/womensmeditationnetwork)   Learn more about your ad choices.

Dr. Phil devotes his platform to analyzing how life has changed for Black Americans in the almost two years since the tragic deaths of Ahmaud Arbery, Breonna Taylor, and George Floyd, and the subsequent widespread Black Lives Matter protests demanding racial equality. Dr. Phil meets professor Dr. Shaun Harper from USC, who says that while he remains an optimist, he claims to have not seen nearly enough effective change in society to start the process of creating equality and justice between Black and white Americans. Former BLM activist Rashad Turner says he quit the movement because, according to him, they did not prioritize education for Black children. Dr. Phil also meets the President of the National Association of Real Estate Brokers, Lydia Pope, who says Black people still don’t have equity in lending or in many other areas that govern us. Then, anti-racist attorney Natasha Scruggs joins the conversation and says Black communities are fighting on a daily basis to achieve equality and a better life for their children. Plus, white ally Allison Mahaley joins the conversation with what she believes white people should understand. Listen in while Rashad and Natasha engage in a spirited conversation about what needs to change in the Black community for equity to be realized. And, Dr. Phil visits a Black-owned, Black-run restaurant in South Los Angeles, Alta Adams, to break bread with owner and chef Keith Corbin, who says being a Black business owner is as challenging as it is rewarding.

In a revealing conversation with Dr. Phil, Eric Lynn, former Senior Advisor to the Secretary of Defense and national security expert, dissected Iran's recent assault on Israel, showcasing the power of Israel's formidable defense systems, particularly the Iron Dome he championed. The attack, featuring ballistic missiles and drones, faltered against Israel's multi-tiered defense architecture, demonstrating the efficacy of U.S.-assisted Israeli technology. Eric accentuates the intricacy of Israel's defense, encompassing the Iron Dome, David's Sling, and Arrow systems, tailored to intercept threats at varying ranges and altitudes. He draws attention to the necessity for measured Israeli responses to deter future attacks without escalating tensions. The Iranian strike, deemed a strategic misstep, inadvertently galvanized international support for Israel rather than isolating it. Eric delved into the genesis and capabilities of the Iron Dome, lauding its role in thwarting Gaza rockets. He advocated for targeted responses to diminish Iranian military prowess while mitigating civilian casualties, averting further escalation. Both Eric and Dr. Phil concurred that Iran's assault failed to achieve its aims and potentially bolstered Israel's global standing.
