The Angry Therapist

Audio-Only Episodes. Captain’s Log: No guests. No fluff. Just me, the mic, and whatever’s clawing at my insides. Think audio journaling meets back-of-the-bar confessions. Less psychobabble, more soul bleed. Raw, real, and mostly for me.

Audio + Video Episodes. You ask, I riff. Therapy meets real talk. More structure, more insight, more of the good stuff on love, dating, and tools we need to build a healthy relationship. Awesome guests. Less navel-gazing, more crowd-serving. This one’s for you.

The Angry Therapist Podcast

In this episode, John Kim sits down with Dr. Chris Rhodes, a nutritional biochemist and biohacking pioneer, to uncover the truth about fasting—and a revolutionary shortcut that could change everything.

From the myths of intermittent fasting to the hidden benefits of extended fasts, Dr. Rhodes shares his research, self-experiments, and the breakthrough supplement MIMIO that mimics the body’s fasting state without the struggle.

Whether you’re fasting-curious, already skipping meals, or simply want better energy, less bloating, and a path to longevity, this conversation is packed with science, storytelling, and real solutions.

What You’ll Learn:

 Why most people are “fasting wrong”

 The real benefits that kick in after 24–36 hours without food

 How fasting impacts inflammation, bloating, and cellular health

 The science behind MIMIO: fasting without fasting

 Practical tips for making fasting sustainable in real life

Fasting Without Fasting: The Shortcut That Changes Everything

In today’s deeply moving episode, John shares a story most therapists would never dare reveal - the client who still haunts him years later. This isn’t about clinical textbooks or success stories. It’s about the raw, unfiltered truth of what happens when therapy collides with real life, addiction, and the weight of responsibility no one prepares you for.

What you’ll learn:

 Why peace matters more than ever in today’s noisy world

 The hidden trauma therapists experience alongside their clients

 What it feels like when a client disappears under your care

 Why not every therapist is “the one” who changes a client’s life

 How to protect your peace and boundaries, even in chaos

Where do you find peace - and how do you protect it? Drop your answer in the comments.

Two Therapists in Bed Talk: Can Men Say No to Casual Sex? (And Other Big Questions We Avoid)

Sometimes life forces you to hit reset. For me, it was losing my house. For you, it might be a breakup, a career shift, or just that nagging feeling that life is smaller than it should be.

In this walk-and-talk episode from Costa Rica, I share how I’ve been redefining everything: happiness, relationships, play, even what “success” means. The truth is - growth doesn’t come from routines. It comes from curiosity, from being willing to reimagine your definitions.

You’ll hear stories of:

 My second rebirth at 52

 How living abroad reshaped my creativity and sense of play

 Why redefining doesn’t require moving countries—it can start with friendships, hobbies, or daily joy

 The hidden power of changing your environment

My challenge for you: What’s one thing you can redefine this week?

Stop Guessing Their Love: Say What Lands

In this episode, licensed therapist John Kim takes you inside his personal journey of building a new life in Costa Rica - the highs, the lows, and the unexpected lessons about presence, clarity, and decision-making. From nausea-inducing dirt roads to perfect mornings surfing in Costa Rica, John unpacks how life-changing decisions aren’t made in one big moment… but in a collection of small ones.

You’ll learn:

 Why clarity about life, love, and career comes from moments, not constant certainty

 How to notice and “bank” the moments that matter when deciding whether to move abroad, who to love, or what path to take

 The challenges of living in Costa Rica - from unpaved roads to missing city comforts and the surprising joys that outweigh them

 How being present is the only way to truly capture moments (and how most of us miss them)

 Why life’s “yes” often comes from an accumulation of tiny affirmations rather than a single sign

Join the conversation! What moments have shaped your biggest life decisions? Have you noticed when your “piggy bank” of yeses finally tipped the scale? Share your story with us.
