True health is more than just nutrition, and with that in mind, today\\u2019s episode is a departure from our usual topics. My co-host, James Connolly, is taking a deep dive into the field of psychiatry with guest Robert Whitaker.

Robert is a journalist who specializes in investigating science and medicine, especially as it relates to psychiatry and mental health. He is also the editor of Mad in America, an online hub dedicated to rethinking psychiatry in America.\\xa0

Through his books, podcasts, and online media, Robert calls for change in the drug-based care of mental health that has ultimately failed our society.\\xa0

Please note that if you are someone struggling with mental health issues and pharmaceuticals are working for you, please continue taking them and don\'t feel shame in this. Life is short, and all people deserve peace and happiness. As serious "questioners," James and I try to give a voice to those who question commonly held beliefs, and Whitaker is a great example of this. Our goal is to shed light on topics and keep asking questions. If you\'re someone who has a different view than this guest, feel free to share, respectfully, in the comments.
