Dr. Drew Pinsky, co-host of the MTV advice show, Loveline, is certified internist and addictionalogist. He is also the medical director for the department of chemical dependency services at Las Encinas Hospital in Pasadena, Calif., the chief of service in the department of medicine, and the co-author of The Dr. Drew and Adam Book: A Survival Guide to Life and Love. As the co-host of Loveline, now on both radio and MTV, Pinsky dispenses wisdom on drugs, sex and relationships. He began hosting Loveline 15 years ago, long before it became a popular syndicated radio and TV program.
Loveline mixes humor and professional expertise as Pinsky and co-host comedian Adam Corolla answer questions from members of the studio audience and viewers around the country via telephone, fax and e-mail. The pair address such issues as teen pregnancy, sexually transmitted diseases, suicide, domestic violence, drug addiction and sexual dysfunction.
"The goal of the show, first and foremost, is education, and secondly, to help people as much as we possibly can," Pinsky said.
