Pam Feinberg-Rivkin sits down with Dr. Barbara Krantz, a family medicine and addiction medicine physician, to share a powerful story of resilience that began with migraine treatment in the 1980s and led to iatrogenic opioid dependence, detox, and a life of service in addiction medicine. Dr Krantz opens up about the stigma she faced as a young physician and mother, the turning points that moved her into recovery, and why compassion and love are essential for lasting change.
We explore how she now treats the brain as the organ of this disease, using neurocognitive assessment that blends medical history, advanced lab work, genetic insights, perfusion imaging, QEEG, and neuromodulation tools like transcranial magnetic stimulation. Dr. Krantz shares a remarkable case illustrating how restoring brain perfusion can restore lives, and reminds us that addiction is not a moral failing but a treatable brain disease.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
