With 1 in 6 American adults on SSRIs and the global market generating $20 billion per year, the push for deprescribing pathways backed by a new CMS billing code is a genuine disruption to pharma revenue. RFK shares a personal account of a family member's SSRI withdrawal he describes as harder than heroin detox. The show then dismantles the hantavirus media cycle: 5 cases on a cruise ship, Moderna already codeveloping a vaccine, and Robert Malone reminding everyone that a lightning strike is statistically more likely. FDA Commissioner Makary's admission that the FDA deliberately misled the public on dietary fat for nearly two decades gets its moment, followed by a DOJ investigation into the Big Four meatpackers for antitrust violations and foreign ownership concerns. The episode closes with a discussion on statin overuse, CoQ10 depletion, thyroid health, iodine sources, and the structural problem of corporate consolidation across farming and food supply chains.","meta_description":"RFK Jr.'s push to reduce antidepressant dependence is drawing fire from MSNBC and Reuters, and Jordan and Nate break down why.
