Explosive anger affects far more people than assumed, with some studies finding it in over 10 percent of the population. Armand DiMele and colleagues Christine Ulrich and Kent Robinshaw examine the biology of rage, the passive-aggressive partners who enable it, why victims stay, and how therapy and medication can help.
Can the brain actually grow new cells, and does stress physically prevent it? Armand and molecular biologist Christine Ulrich examine neurogenesis research from Princeton and Yale, explaining how chronic stress and poverty reshape brain anatomy, and why doing something new every day may matter more than we think.
Anorexia is not really about food but about control, perfectionism, and a refusal to grow up. Armand DiMele, joined by Stephanie D’Ambra, LCSW and Christine Ulrich, traces how starvation becomes a way to freeze development, reject femininity, and rebel against family pressure without openly defying it.
Why does desire so rarely move us the way pain does? Armand DiMele and Christine Ulrich, a molecular biologist turned certified life coach, dig into the mechanics of change, exploring how coaches use whole-life assessment, probing questions, and pattern recognition to help clients reach goals they cannot reach alone.
Parental depression is one of the strongest predictors of childhood anxiety and behavioral disorders, and treating the parent often helps the child more than medicating the child. Armand DiMele and research assistant Christine Ulrich examine the evidence, explain the family-system dynamic, and take calls from adult listeners tracing their struggles back to depressed or absent parents.
Why are humans biologically wired to deceive each other and themselves in love? Armand DiMele unpacks “mating intelligence,” covering how men misread smiles as sexual interest, how women strategically lie about sexual history, and how dopamine-fueled delusion actually helps couples bond. Researcher Iris Reiner and Christine Ulrich join to connect attachment theory and the DRD4 gene to adult romantic security.
