For decades, mental health treatment has followed the same loop: diagnose, prescribe, manage symptoms, repeat. But outcomes haven’t improved—and in many cases, they’ve worsened. In this episode of Decoded, Bizzie Gold sits down with Dr. Dave Rabin, board-certified psychiatrist, neuroscientist, and co-founder of Apollo Neuro, to confront why the system is failing and what actually heals trauma.

If you’ve ever felt confused, destabilized, or accused of gaslighting—or wondered if you might be doing it yourself—this conversation will confront what’s really happening beneath the surface.

This episode continues last week's conversation on power + projection, and takes it one layer deeper: how people accidentally turn leaders, mentors, communities, and "access" into idols-and why it almost always ends the same way: admiration → entitlement → rupture → villain.

In this episode of Decoded, Bizzie Gold breaks down power projection—what happens when authority, hierarchy, or feedback gets interpreted through unresolved identity wounds… and personal responsibility becomes unbearable.

You’ll learn why some people can zoom out, self-correct, and stay grounded in objective reality—while others collapse into splitting, victim narratives, and “toxic boss / narcissist / cult” labels the moment evaluation shows up.

Menopause isn’t your downfall. It’s your brain’s remodel.

In this episode, Bizzie talks with Dr. Mindy Pelz, New York Times bestselling author of Fast Like a Girl, Eat Like a Girl, and Age Like a Girl, about what really happens to the female brain after 40.

They break down how declining estrogen rewires your brain, why people-pleasing suddenly stops feeling “sticky,” what’s behind the spike in divorces initiated by women after 40, and how to treat midlife as a biologically-timed chance to restore who you were always meant to be.

If you’re between 40–55 (or love someone who is), this conversation will change how you see mood swings, boundary shifts, and the story you’ve been told about aging.

Addiction Doesn’t Start With Substances. It Starts With Regulation

Addiction is rarely about the substance.

Alcohol, drugs, porn, food, gambling, or compulsive behaviors are not the origin point—they’re the solution the nervous system landed on. A crude one, but effective in the short term.

To understand addiction, you have to look earlier. Much earlier.

You have to look at how the brain learned to regulate distress in the first place.

Tirzepatide entered mainstream consciousness as a “weight-loss peptide,” but the emerging evidence tells a much broader story. As a dual GIP/GLP-1 receptor agonist, it’s influencing key physiological systems involved in inflammation, glucose signaling, neural protection, and cardiometabolic stability.

When you trace the mechanistic pathways and clinical outcomes, a clear theme emerges:
The benefits extend far beyond adiposity reduction.

Below is a synthesis of current scientific literature — human trials where available, animal/biochemical research where human outcomes are still emerging — to help you understand the real impact of tirzepatide on whole-system health.

If you’ve ever had sudden anxiety, brain fog, or skin flares that come and go without warning—you may have been experiencing Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS). In this episode, Bizzie Gold unpacks: • What MCAS really is and why it’s often mistaken for mood disorders • The science of histamine receptors (H1–H4) and how they shape your symptoms • The hidden connection between MCAS, PMDD, and postpartum depression • Why stress, hormones, and even fragrances can tip your body into chaos • Practical steps to identify and calm flares without fear or obsession • MCAS isn’t “all in your head.” It’s your immune system hijacking your brain chemistry. Learn how to recognize the patterns, track your triggers, and move toward balance.

You tried to parent the opposite of how you were raised. Fair. But the pendulum swing often recreates the same harm with softer packaging. In this episode, we unpack 12 common “conscious” or “gentle” moves that destabilize a child’s brain and identity—and what to do instead. We cover momentum over remorse, input → output, discipline that targets motive (not mess), and how to build structure that still leaves room for spontaneity and independent thinking.

What if immortality isn't the next frontier — it's the next illusion?

In this episode of Decoded, Bizzie Gold sits down with biohacker and longevity insider Dylan Gemelli for a raw, unfiltered look at the truth behind anti-aging science, peptide therapy, and the spiritual limits of human life.

From his time in prison to building a multimillion-view platform in the biohacking world, Dylan's story exposes the underbelly of the "forever" industry — where science, marketing, and morality collide.

Bizzie and Dylan pull back the curtain on:

• The real science (and misinformation) behind peptides

• Why God built a stop sequence into human lifespan

• How the body's design proves intelligent creation

• The link between distorted perception and physical disease

• The future of anti-aging medicine (and where Big
  Pharma can't go)

If you've ever chased longevity, this conversation might stop you in your tracks — in the best possible way.

In this episode of Decoded, Bizzie Gold expands on last week’s conversation—taking the concept of healing beyond the personal and into the global.

She explores how the micro mimics the macro, and how both individuals and societies fall into the trap of pendulum swings—overcorrecting from one extreme to another instead of finding sustainable equilibrium.

In this episode of Decoded, Bizzie Gold takes you inside a raw, unfiltered conversation about what it really means to heal. Forget the buzzwords and bypassing — this is about facing fear, listening to your inner monologue, and learning the art of controlled surrender.

From panic attacks and claustrophobia to peace at 30,000 feet, Bizzie shares how the process of rewiring the brain unfolds in layers — not overnight. Healing isn’t about perfection; it’s about evidence of change, refinement, and courage to keep opposing your patterns even when it’s hard.

If you’ve ever questioned whether you’re “doing the work,” this episode will reframe everything you thought you knew about healing, growth, and self-deception.

Every day, your brain runs subconscious programming—hidden emotional addiction cycles and brain pattern mapping that shape your habits, decisions, and even your self-worth. But what if those loops are keeping you trapped in self-sabotage? In this episode, Bizzie Gold, mind architect and creator of The Break Method, joins Dave Asprey to expose the self-deception and behavior patterns controlling your mind—and the exact emotional rewiring techniques needed to break free.

Can a 20-minute data assessment predict your patient’s emotional triggers and behavior patterns? In this eye-opening interview, Bizzie Gold—founder of Break Method and author of Your Brain is a Filthy Liar—shares how she developed a revolutionary diagnostic tool that maps brain patterns using 200 concrete data points. With insights drawn from over 15,000 client records, her system redefines how clinicians understand behavior, emotion, and mental health at scale.

You’ve been gaslit by the wellness industry, told to restrict, detox, and hustle harder—only to find yourself inflamed, exhausted, and stuck in a body that won’t cooperate.

In this episode of Decoded, I expose the lies behind the “Ozempic = shortcut” narrative and show you how peptide microdosing saved me—from autoimmune disease, metabolic dysfunction, and a full-body identity crisis.

YOU THINK YOU HAVE A FOOD PROBLEM? YOU DON'T. YOU HAVE A BRAIN PATTERN PROBLEM.

In this episode of Decoded, I expose how food behaviors—snacking, obsessing, restricting, binging—aren’t about hunger or nutrition. They’re rituals of self-deception, shaped by your emotional addiction cycle, your childhood programming, and a dysregulated gut you’ve been taught to ignore. 

If you've ever felt stuck in overwhelm, dismissed important decisions out of sheer exhaustion, or justified actions you later regretted by saying, "I'm just stressed," this episode will transform your understanding. Today, we're decoding overwhelm as more than just a vague feeling. It's an emotional trap created by cycles of fear, anxiety, and anger. You'll learn exactly why these feelings keep showing up, how to spot your unique emotional addiction cycle, and how subtle shifts in perception and language can stop the spiral before it starts. Using practical analogies and real-life examples, you'll see how overwhelm isn't inevitable. It's a predictable pattern that can be broken. By the end, you'll have the tools to stop justifying behavior with vague terms and start reclaiming control over your emotional landscape.
