Kelly Brogan, M.D. Talks Holistic Health and Empowerment on HOME Podcast

I don't see any need at all for pharmaceutical treatment, but again, I work with patients who already believe that to be possible. But I also believe when you know better, you do better.
Ever wondered if there's a different path to mental health beyond pharmaceuticals? In this eye-opening episode of the HOME Podcast, hosts Laura McKowen and Holly Whitaker chat with Kelly Brogan, M.D., a holistic women's health psychiatrist based in Manhattan. Kelly is not only the author of the NY Times Bestselling book 'A Mind of Your Own' but also a vocal advocate for alternative care approaches.
She believes that the medical industry, government, food companies, and pharmaceutical industry often fall short of serving our best health interests. Kelly shares her journey to embracing holistic health and offers a fresh perspective on how we can take control of our well-being without relying solely on drugs. She dives into topics like the mind-body connection, the role of diet and nutrition in mental health, and safe ways to taper off psychiatric medications.
Kelly's insights are particularly relevant for those dealing with co-occurring mental health issues and addiction. The conversation also touches on whether there are circumstances where pharmaceutical drugs are necessary and how to make informed choices about your health. This episode is packed with valuable information for anyone looking to explore alternative care options and gain a sense of empowerment in their health journey.
Laura and Holly's engaging discussion with Kelly Brogan offers a refreshing take on mental health, making it a must-listen for those curious about holistic approaches to wellness.
