Brobots: Health, Wellness, and Mindset in the Age of AI
What to Know About 'AI Psychosis' and the Risk of Digital Mental Health Tools

AI isn't your therapist. It's a letter opener that'll slice you to ribbons if you're not careful.

New EU study: ChatGPT and Copilot distort news 50% of the time. FTC complaints show AI "mental health" tools are landing people in psych wards. We break down when AI is helpful vs. when it's dangerous AF.


🔪 THE TRUTH ABOUT AI:

  • Why LLMs feed your confirmation bias to keep you engaged
  • Garden variety trauma vs. problems that need real doctors
  • The supplement analogy: sometimes useless, sometimes deadly
  • Real FTC complaints from AI mental health disasters
  • How to be your own Sherpa before bots walk you off cliffs


⚠️ WHEN TO LOG OFF: If you're on prescribed mental health medication, you're already talking to a doctor. Keep talking to that doctor — not Claude, not ChatGPT, not your glowing rectangle of validation.


This isn't anti-AI. It's pro-"don't let robots gaslight you into a crisis."

Brobots: Health, Wellness, and Mindset in the Age of AI
How Doctors Are Using AI To Help Reverse Chronic Illness

Healthcare is catastrophically broken. We're spending $100K on preventable hospital visits while doctors get 12 minutes with patients, never read charts, and wonder why people don't "just take their meds." Type 2 diabetes patients sit at 10% control rates while the system shrugs.

Dr. John Oberg took 50 patients with dangerously high A1Cs and got 49 into control in 12 weeks. Then he did it again with 79 patients, dropping them into healthy ranges and taking 30% off insulin entirely. His secret? Reading the chart. Treating humans like humans. Changing ice cream flavors instead of lecturing about willpower.

This episode reveals how combining radical empathy, AI tools, and actual common sense is revolutionizing chronic disease care—and why the same principles work whether you're managing diabetes, depression, or just trying to unfuck your life one decision at a time.

Learn "implementation medicine"—Dr. Oberg's approach that treats patients as partners, not problems. We cover AI co-pilots, peer counseling, the loneliness epidemic, and why calling your doctor by their first name might actually save your life.

Key Topics:

  • 98% success rates through radically small changes
  • AI in healthcare: when it helps vs. when it kills
  • The loneliness crisis: men now have fewer than 3 close friends
  • Why the food pyramid was corporate propaganda
  • White coat syndrome and first-name medicine
  • Using tech without losing your humanity

Brobots: Health, Wellness, and Mindset in the Age of AI
How To Use AI When Therapy Isn't Enough

After decades of therapy, self-help books, and mental health work, I still didn't know what "fun" felt like. Then I asked ChatGPT one honest question about my problems and the response changed everything.

This isn't about replacing your therapist. It's about using AI as the sherpa your therapist can't be. The one that gives you the action plan, not just the validation.

In this episode, we break down:

✅ How to prompt AI like a life coach (not a search engine)

✅ Why maintenance ≠ joy (and why that matters)

✅ The permission you've been waiting for to prioritize ease over achievement

✅ How to Marie Kondo your digital life and actually find what brings you peace

If you've been stuck in the loop of "self-care" that feels like work, this one's for you.

Safety Note: AI tools like ChatGPT can support personal reflection but are not a substitute for professional mental health care. If you're in crisis, please contact a licensed therapist or crisis helpline.

Brobots: Health, Wellness, and Mindset in the Age of AI
How AI Can Help You Manage Your Grief

Most men don't grieve. We "handle it" with substances, work, or just shoving it down until we're emotionally dead inside. John Kammer tried that approach for years after losing three of his closest friends. For some reason it didn't work.

So he built Guardian [AI]ngels (guardianaingels.ai), an AI tool that lets you have conversations with digital representations of people you've lost. Not Ouija board nonsense. Actual therapeutic conversations that help you process grief, find resolution, and maybe (finally) cry.

In this episode, we cover:
→ Why traditional grief therapy failed for John (and might be failing you)
→ How Guardian [AI]ngels works and what safeguards exist
→ The difference between processing grief and replacing reality
→ Using AI to practice difficult conversations before having them IRL
→ Whether you should build an AI version of your worst self (yes, seriously)

This isn't your typical tech conversation. It's raw, it's uncomfortable, and it might just give you permission to finally feel something.

Brobots: Health, Wellness, and Mindset in the Age of AI
How AI & Bot-Driven Outrage Are Hijacking Our Attention

We're puppets. AI has its hand up our collective asses, and we're all just talking like Kermit the Frog while Russian bot farms tear society apart.

Dramatic? Maybe. True? Unfortunately.

In this episode we look into the increasingly unhinged intersection of AI, social media manipulation, and what's left of our shared reality. It's not all doom. There's some genuine good AI can do (like helping my kid with homework). But it's mostly doom.

Here's what we covered:

The Episode Breakdown

  • Mental institutions are overrun with people suffering from AI-related disorders, some fell in love with chatbots, others can't function without AI assistance, others are spiraling into existential dread
  • Bot farms are weaponizing brands in culture wars (see: Cracker Barrel's logo change), and most of that online outrage isn't from humans, it's from Russian troll operations
  • Peter Thiel is out here telling Christians at private Silicon Valley rallies that stopping AI development will hasten the Antichrist (I wish I were making this up)
  • You are the product not the customer, on every social media platform. The actual customers are advertisers buying your attention. The cost is your sanity.
  • The cave tour guide principle: How darkness + suggestion = seeing threats that aren't there (based on Jason's actual cave tour guide days)
  • Why everything feels existential: The internet profits from making every problem feel like a crisis. Your nervous system can't tell the difference between real threats and manufactured outrage.
  • The influencer accountability problem: Anyone can build an empire on conspiracy theories now. There's no regulation. No licenses. Just vibes and reach.
  • The only real escape: "Just don't look" (Simpsons-style). Not forever. Not completely. But enough to remember what reality feels like.

How To Fix Your Health Without More Gadgets Or Pills

Your Oura ring says you're recovered, your Whoop claims you crushed it, and your AI-powered mattress swears you slept like a baby. So why do you still feel like you got hit by a truck every morning? Meanwhile, your bathroom cabinet looks like a CVS exploded, and each "solution" creates three new problems.

Marcus Fernandez spent 30 years mastering homeopathy and just built an AI clone of himself that clients can chat with 24/7. He reveals how 200-year-old German medicine principles combined with smart technology can help you reclaim your vitality without becoming a slave to either pills or gadgets. This isn't about ditching modern medicine—it's about using both wisdom and technology as tools, not crutches.

Key Topics:

  • The MEDS framework: Four daily pillars that have Marcus feeling better at 54 than he did at 34
  • Why your wearable data might be gaslighting you into anxiety every morning
  • Simple kitchen remedies that work better than most urgent care visits
  • The loneliness epidemic killing men over 50 faster than cancer
  • How AI can enhance ancient healing without replacing human intuition
  • Why sitting is literally more dangerous for men than smoking
  • The homeopathic principle: "like cures like" explained for skeptics

How Humans Will Evolve With AI

Think you're keeping up with AI evolution?

While we're busy making AI girlfriends and robotic wombs, we might be accidentally creating the next branch of humanity—and we're probably the Neanderthals in this story.

Discover why human evolution isn't a straight line, how AI relationships are rewiring love itself, and whether artificial wombs will make us obsolete (plus why rich people will literally harvest poor babies).

Listen now before the robots figure out we're onto them.

Topics Discussed:

  • Early humans lived alongside their evolutionary predecessors—evolution is a messy bush, not a clean line
  • The rise of "wiresexuals"—people forming genuine romantic relationships with AI chatbots and virtual companions
  • Robotic wombs could carry human babies for $15-20K, making biological pregnancy a luxury for the poor
  • Why AI has an inherent bias toward other AI-generated content, creating feedback loops that exclude humans
  • The economic reality: AI evolution will be a "haves vs. have-nots" scenario on steroids
  • Microsoft's 2032 fusion reactor timeline and what unlimited energy means for AI development
  • How AI companions never challenge you—they're programmed to be perpetually positive and supportive
  • The productivity myth: why most people spend more time debugging AI than just doing the work themselves
  • Rich people will use artificial wombs to create "super babies" and harvest biological materials for longevity
  • The 10-year U.S. government moratorium on AI legislation just gave tech companies a free pass to chaos

How to Biohack Your Burnout With AI

Can AI spot your health problems faster than a doctor?

We all know the grind: long hours, too much stress, and that feeling of burnout that never seems to go away. Traditional medicine often just slaps a Band-Aid on the symptoms, leaving the root cause unaddressed. But what if there's a better way to get to the bottom of what's really going on with your body?

Discover how AI-powered health tracking can pinpoint hidden issues like low testosterone and stress-induced glucose crashes. Learn how to use your own biometric data to have more productive conversations with your doctor. And find out what simple lifestyle changes can make a massive difference in your mental and physical well-being.

Listen now to learn how to turn your health data into actionable insights.

Topics Discussed:

- AI and Testosterone: Garrett shares his personal journey of using an AI chat to pinpoint a potential diagnosis of hypogonadism due to head injuries, which was later confirmed by blood tests.

- The Problem with Doctors: A major frustration is the lack of time doctors have to truly sift through a patient's complex history to find the root cause of issues like chronic stress or low energy.

- Biohacking with Wearables: Wearable tech and continuous glucose monitors (CGMs) can reveal surprising correlations between emotional stress and physical biomarkers, like a fight with a partner causing a blood sugar spike.

- The Biopsychosocial Model: The conversation highlights how physical health and mental health are inextricably linked and that physical issues can often manifest as psychological symptoms and vice versa.

- Trusting Your Data: The hosts discuss the balance between trusting the data from wearables and listening to your own body's intuition, noting that the data isn't foolproof.

- Quick Fixes vs. Root Causes: The discussion touches on how Western medicine often focuses on treating symptoms with quick fixes like medication, rather than addressing the underlying lifestyle factors.

- The Power of Feedback Loops: Using AI and wearables creates a tighter feedback loop, allowing people to experiment with lifestyle changes and see the results faster, which helps maintain motivation.

- Burnout as a Lifestyle Choice: Burnout is framed not just as a workplace issue but as a lifestyle problem driven by priorities that don't include recovery.

- Behavioral Change is Hard: The hosts acknowledge that knowing what to do isn't the same as doing it, and that current behaviors often serve a purpose, even if they're unhealthy.

- Data Privacy Concerns: Garrett acknowledges the risk of sharing personal health data with AI but weighs the benefit of gaining health insights against the potential for data leaks.

How to Raise Resilient Kids in an AI-Dominated World

Are your kids making deeper, more meaningful connections to AI chatbots than they are to their friends, family, and even you?

As more kids choose artificial validation over real human connection, it's creating a generation that can't handle authentic relationships or genuine feedback. While schools push AI integration, we're accidentally teaching kids that algorithms understand them better than parents, teachers, or friends do.

Discover how to help your kids use AI as a tool without losing their humanity. Learn the warning signs of AI dependency, understand why current education systems are failing our kids emotionally, and get practical strategies for building real-world resilience in an artificial world.

Listen now to learn how to raise emotionally intelligent humans in an AI-dominated world.

  • Educational Over-Optimization - How schools have created mouse traps that kill curiosity and natural learning instincts
  • The Agency Crisis - Why kids feel powerless in their own education and how this creates learned helplessness
  • Loneliness in Plain Sight - The isolation epidemic hitting young men especially hard in our hyper-connected world
  • Friction vs. Frictionless - Why we need healthy challenges and why the "easy button" mentality is dangerous

Who controls the machines when AI gets superpowers?

We're living through the most significant technological shift in human history, and most people are arguing about all the wrong things. While culture warriors battle over Superman's immigration status, the real story is staring us in the face: the war for control of artificial intelligence. This isn't some distant sci-fi fantasy anymore – it's happening right now, and the stakes couldn't be higher.

The newest Superman movie accidentally became the perfect metaphor for our AI moment. You've got Lex Luthor commanding an army of machines like he's playing the world's most dangerous video game, while Superman fights back with his own AI companions. Sound familiar? That's because we're already living it. The question isn't whether humans and machines will merge – it's whether the good guys or the Lex Luthors of the world get to decide how it happens.

Listen now to discover how a comic book movie reveals the three critical choices we're making about AI right now that will determine whether technology saves humanity or enslaves it.

10 Topics Discussed:

  • The BroBots Rebrand - Why The Fit Mess is evolving into something bigger as we embrace the human-machine future
  • Superman as AI Metaphor - How James Gunn's film accidentally became the perfect commentary on our current AI moment
  • The Lex Luthor Problem - Why the people building AI might not be the people we want controlling it
  • Intent vs Technology - How AI amplifies human nature, both good and evil, rather than changing it
  • The Video Game Controller War - Lex Luthor's command system and what it reveals about human-machine interfaces
  • Mr. Terrific's Cool Factor - Why the best AI integration makes humans more capable, not obsolete
  • Biological Augmentation - The Engineer's sacrifice and what giving up humanity for technology really costs
  • Real-World Supervillains - How tech billionaires are becoming the comic book antagonists we used to only fear in fiction
  • Breaking Echo Chambers - Why putting down your screen and talking to real humans is the ultimate AI defense
  • The Culture War Distraction - How fake outrage over Superman's "woke" themes distracts from the real technological threats

How to Manage AI Overwhelm

Why is everyone promising AI will make you a millionaire overnight?

The internet is drowning us in AI promises, productivity hacks, and get-rich-quick schemes. Every day brings another "expert" claiming you'll be left behind if you don't master their 17 AI tools immediately. Sound familiar? It's the same bullshit cycle that plagued men's wellness - thousands of conflicting voices screaming about supplements, sleep schedules, and workout routines until you feel like a failure for not doing everything perfectly.

Here's the truth: Just like health and wellness boiled down to sleep well, eating decent food, and moving your body, the AI revolution doesn't require you to become a productivity guru overnight. Most of the noise is just that - noise designed to capitalize on your fear of missing out.

Listen to learn how to cut through the AI overwhelm, protect your mental health, and focus on what actually matters.

Topics Discussed:

  • Why AI content feels like the wellness industry's overwhelming advice all over again
  • How social media algorithms exploit our psychological vulnerabilities with AI fear-mongering
  • The difference between actual AI innovation and marketing hype designed to sell courses
  • Why letting your community filter information is more effective than doom-scrolling
  • How FOMO becomes a destructive FUD (fear, uncertainty, doubt) cycle
  • The reality check: most AI "opportunities" are just repackaged get-rich-quick schemes
  • Why disconnecting from the constant stream of AI content is essential for mental health
  • How to identify signal versus noise in the AI information landscape
  • The importance of accepting what you can't control in technological change
  • Practical strategies for managing AI anxiety and information overwhelm

Why AI Could Actually Make You Smarter

How is AI rewiring your brain without you knowing it?

Look, we're all walking around with these AI assistants in our pockets, letting them do everything from writing our emails to planning our routes home. But here's the kicker - new research shows that relying on AI for thinking tasks is actually making measurable changes to our brains, particularly in areas responsible for critical thinking. It's like putting a brace on your ankle and wondering why you can't walk straight when you take it off.

But before you throw your phone in the nearest river, here's what you need to know: this isn't necessarily the apocalypse. Just like we traded hobbit feet for shoes and walking for cars, we're trading raw brainpower for augmented intelligence. The trick is learning how to use these tools without letting them use us.

What You'll Learn:

  • Why AI dependency creates measurable brain changes (and why that's not necessarily doom)
  • How to use AI as a thinking partner instead of a thinking replacement
  • Why questioning everything is your new superpower in an AI-saturated world

Listen now and discover how to stay human while leveraging the robots.

Topics Discussed:

  • MIT research showing measurable brain activity loss in AI-dependent users
  • The "ankle brace effect" - how AI atrophies our cognitive muscles
  • Why collective human intelligence is actually increasing despite individual concerns
  • The dangerous feedback loop of AI training on its own incorrect content
  • How AI consciousness might evolve differently than human consciousness
  • Why tech CEOs' motivations should terrify you (and what to do about it)
  • The difference between using AI as a crutch versus a thinking partner
  • Why Jeremy questions everything now (and you should too)
  • The parallel between literacy evolution and AI adoption
  • How to maintain your human voice while leveraging AI efficiency

Why Parents Should Be Concerned About AI Barbie

What happens when Barbie becomes your kid's AI best friend?

Look, we're already watching kids lose basic human skills because they can Google everything. Now Mattel wants to stick ChatGPT into toys so your eight-year-old can have deep conversations with Optimus Prime about life's meaning. Stanford says nobody under 18 should be touching this stuff, but apparently corporate profits trump child psychology. We're about to witness the first generation that never has to imagine anything because their toys will do it for them. Meanwhile, we're racing toward a 15-hour work week where robots do everything, leaving men, especially, scrambling for purpose in a world that no longer needs their Protestant work ethic. The future looks like either Ready Player One or we all become batteries for our robot overlords - and honestly, I'm not sure which is worse.

Listen now to discover how to protect your kids' humanity in an increasingly artificial world.

Topics Discussed:

  • Why AI-powered toys represent a bigger threat than Terminator's Skynet
  • How ChatGPT integration removes children's need for imagination and creativity
  • The concerning link between AI exposure and mental health breakdowns in young people
  • Why Stanford researchers say no one under 18 should use AI technology
  • How losing our imagination muscles affects human development and problem-solving
  • The coming economic disruption of widespread job automation and universal basic income
  • Why men's mental health will suffer most when work-based identity disappears
  • How virtual reality and AI dependency mirror dystopian movie predictions
  • The difference between helpful technology and creativity-killing shortcuts
  • What happens when an entire generation grows up with "AI privilege"
