Description

President Obama called his Head Speechwriter, Jon Favreau, his “mind reader.” On this week’s episode, Jon sheds light on his own mind — specifically his phone addiction — and what he learned about his emotional health during the pandemic. The political commentator, podcast host, and new dad was forced to reckon with his everyday habits and his relationship with technology. With heartfelt honesty, Jon shares with Dr. McBride his struggle and some of the lessons learned — including the importance of human connection for our health and well-being.   Join Dr. Lucy McBride every Tuesday for a new episode of Beyond the Prescription on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you catch your podcasts.

Each week, Dr. Lucy McBride talks with her guests like she does her patients — pulling the curtain back on what it means to be healthy, connecting the dots between mental and physical health. To Dr. McBride, health is about more than the absence of disease. Health is a process, not an outcome. It's about having awareness of our medical data, acceptance of the things we cannot control, and agency over the areas we can change. It starts with access to fact-based information to care for our body and mind.
