The idea of a superfan has become ubiquitous, but have you given thought to the psychology of it? Neal's guest, author Zoe Fraade-Blanar has done just that. She talks to Neal about the rise of superfandom and its acceptance in modern society; the philosophical concept of fandom; what's good about it, what's bad about it; how it can be exploited; concepts like 'shared toxicity' and 'posse syndrome'; and how to keep a healthy perspective when you become fanatical about something.

Today, Neal is joined by author and co-founder of Project CBD, Martin A. Lee. CBD is the latest drug craze and with good reason. It has applications from lowering anxiety, to pain relief, to calming neurological disorders. However, as a derivative of hemp, its research and distribution can be stymied be narcotic laws. Martin explains to us a bit of its history including prohibition; the science of how it interacts with the other compounds of hemp, especially THC; the research being put into finding the right dosages and cannabinoid combinations for various ailments; regulation; and what he hopes will become of the medical cannabis industry.

Yoga is the centuries old practice of stretching and breathing to help quiet the mind and keep the body fit, yet it has a stigma of being only for a certain type of person. Neal is joined by yoga instructor, Tara Sanders to examine the possibilities of the practice. Tara specializes in trauma-informed yoga which is its own kind of practice. Yoga, while meditative, can also be very tactile and interactive. Trauma-informed yoga is generally hands-off as well as providing other safeguards for persons in all stages of recovery. It's Tara's mission to make yoga accessible to any who have the desire and her optimism about it is infectious.

Good nutrition has flummoxed the best of us and new fad diets seem to be nonstop. Most of us grew up learning that fat and calories were what made you fat, now carbs are the enemy. Sugar has always been the devil, but sugars occur naturally in fruit, so which is it? Neal is joined by his in-house nutritionist, Julie Morgan to address all the heavy-hitters in the diet world today. Julie applies common sense and offers the science behind these diets, or lack thereof.

This week, we experiment with all the different ways to spell Neal. It's two, there are only two ways; and the other way is favored by our guest, Neil Ratner a.k.a. The Rock Doc. What an interesting life this man has lead. He talks to Neal about his love of music early on coupled with his love of the human body; how he met up with the brothers Winter and became Edgar's tour manager; how that lead to forming his own company and then leaving it all behind to pursue medicine. But his life in music didn't end there. If his name sounds familiar, it's because he became Michael Jackson's personal physician for a time (not the one with him when he died). Think that's as crazy as his life got? There's still more...

This week, Neal sits down with his actual therapist, Dr. Lawrence Dresdale to discuss the benefits of meditation and to define exactly what mindfulness is. Dr. Dresdale explains how to push past the stigma of therapy and the defeatist thoughts in your head in the effort to recondition yourself not to be so angry about small mistakes that will be inconsequential to the whole of your life. He also explains what a person can hope to achieve with meditation, what it won't do for you, and how to apply it daily.
