PUNK ROCK SOBER

Laura Clery built an empire being the funniest person on the internet — 26 million followers, three books, a character (Pamela Pupkin) people quote back to her in the street. What most of that audience never hears is the rest of it. Tyler sits down with Laura — both of them in recovery — for the unfiltered version: getting sober at 25, a marriage that started in the rooms and turned into an FBI-involved thriller (the subject of her new book), raising a brilliant autistic son as a single mom, and the 600-pound refrigerator that nearly killed her two weeks before this taping.

In this episode:

Why coffee is 'the one drug I have left' — and what 14 years sober actually looks like
From Downers Grove to LA at 17: the flea-bitten couch, the Spanish cell-phone commercial, and the first viral video everyone stole
Building 26 million followers (and buying two houses) on Facebook before anyone thought it could pay
Meeting her husband 59 days sober — and the day a text from a contact named 'Absolutely No Way' blew the marriage open
The relapse, the rehab, the second chance — and the second relapse that ended everything
The account-hack, the restraining order, and the 'thriller' her publisher couldn't believe was real
Single-parenting a level-3 autistic son who 'elopes' — air tags, triple locks, and Augie Health
The night a 600-pound fridge pinned her with her kids home — and the 911 call that almost got hung up on
How she actually got sober: 90 meetings in 90 days, a sponsor, and a prayer she still says
The 3 signs you might have a problem (and the one that involves Tijuana)

Are peptides the future of recovery, longevity, and health optimization?

In this episode of Punk Rock Sober, Tyler Ramsey sits down with Nurse Mel Mansell, functional medicine expert, registered nurse, and co-host of the What Do You Want?! podcast. Together they dive deep into the exploding world of peptides, GLP-1 medications, Ozempic, semaglutide, NAD therapy, testosterone replacement, anti-aging treatments, addiction recovery, and the science behind longevity.

Nurse Mel shares real-world stories from patients who have used GLP-1 medications to overcome alcohol addiction, lose significant weight, and improve their health. She also explains the risks of black-market peptides, discusses the hype surrounding "wonder drugs," and reveals why foundational habits like sleep, exercise, nutrition, and stress management still matter most.

If you're curious about Ozempic, peptides, recovery, biohacking, longevity, or the future of health optimization, this conversation is packed with practical insights and surprising truths.
