Outrage Overload: Staying grounded through science and balanced perspectives
If you're angry, frustrated, or scared about the state of politics and media and looking for thoughtful, balanced discussions, this podcast is for you. About 30 minutes every few weeks. It will change your life.
Outrage Overload explores the extreme polarization and political bias dominating politics and media today. We dive into the anger and outrage that drive divisions between people, distort the news, and fuel political violence. Each episode features leading scientists, researchers, authors, and community leaders tackling topics like outrage fatigue, toxic polarization, extremism, healthy conflict, disinformation, social media's role in outrage, and the influence of technology and artificial intelligence.
Join us to rediscover humanity in your rivals, improve your mental health, and find practical strategies to feel less stressed and more in control in a world fueled by outrage.

BONUS - Desperate for Relief: How Outrage at the Medical System Fuels the Rise of Alternative Medicine - Britt Hermes & Michael Lenz
How Chronic Conditions Drive Desperation: The High Cost of Naturopathic Care
We look at the world of alternative medicine, exploring the clash between naturopathy and evidence-based medicine with former naturopathic doctor Britt Marie Hermes and board-certified physician Dr. Michael Lenz. They offer unique perspectives on the allure of alternative treatments, particularly for those battling chronic conditions like fibromyalgia.
We dissect the dangers of misinformation and the role of patient advocacy in navigating the complex healthcare landscape. The episode sheds light on the frustration and outrage felt by patients who often feel dismissed by traditional medicine, leading them to seek solutions outside the established medical system.
Dr. Lenz's expertise in treating fibromyalgia and his commitment to a holistic, evidence-based approach provides a counterpoint to the often unproven claims of naturopathy and other alternative practices. We discuss the importance of informed decision-making, the risks of healthcare scams, and the need for greater understanding and empathy within the medical community for those suffering from chronic illnesses.
Join us for this eye-opening conversation as we unpack the complexities of healthcare choices in an era of outrage overload
