This past year was a super interesting experience. I did something that I thought would be at least somewhat challenging, but honestly, it wasn't bad at all. It made a million questions go through my head, some specific to actual drug abuse, and some much broader. I do know one thing... If you're someone who has thought about giving a challenge like this a try, I say go for it. I certainly don't see how any bad could come from it! Also, I'd REALLY love feedback from this episode if possible, perhaps even more so than normal. It'll make more sense once you listen to the episode. Thank you as always for your support. This ESPECIALLY goes out to my amazing friends and family who did not blink and eye when I told them about my decision to try the fully-sober life. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/omhc/support

A therapist by trade, Dr. Josh Friedman knew there was something missing relatively early on in his career. There were certain patients that would come into the therapy sessions and/or use the medications prescribed to them by a psychiatrist, but for these individuals, these forms of treatment just didn't seem to work. Surely, some got a LOT better, but the amount that didn't was too great for Dr. Friedman to ignore. In this episode, we dive into his journey of mixing the best of both the conventional and functional models of healthcare. The things that Dr. Friedman learned completely transformed the way he practices and, as a result, he has been able to have much higher success rates with those suffering with mental health issues.

I've noticed something super interesting over the past two years: My once phobic level fear of flying seems to have virtually disappeared. Resolving that type of mental health problem was never something I even considered doing naturally. However, after a recent experience on a helicopter, it seems almost undeniable that my healing naturally correlates with a lessening of my phobic-level fears. I want to hear from others who have dealt with phobias, especially those who have overcome them! --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/omhc/support

Highly Sensitive Person? No, it's not your friend, family member, or co-worker who is "too emotional." Highly Sensitive People, or HSPs, are people who process things different than the majority of people. They might feel more deeply, require long periods of time to contemplate things, and they can even be more sensitive to things like sounds and large crowds. This week, we interview an internet-friend of mine, Melissa Stevens. Melissa went the majority of her life knowing that something was different, but never know what it was! After getting some marketing advice from a business coach, she had her "aha" moment - the moment she realized there was a name for the what she had been experiencing her whole life! Melissa was an absolute pleasure to talk to, and I learned a lot! Psychology is a field that is forever expanding, and it will be amazing to see how many people will find their comfort in knowing they are in fact an HSP, when perhaps they've been wrongly misdiagnosed with a mental health challenge.

A last-minute editing issue forced me to fly solo tonight, BUT it doesn't mean this episode went to waste... I had been thinking about addressing the coronavirus directly on this podcast, but wasn't sure where to fit it in. Since I didn't make the decision to do it, it looked like circumstances did it for me. Many people who were already dealing with mental health issues prior to this are experiencing a worsening of symptoms. Many who had NEVER really dealt with much in the world of mental health issues are experiencing them for the first time.

In this episode, I had the privilege of interviewing yet another individual who had their life changed by functional medicine. ⁣ In one of the quickest turnarounds I've ever seen, our guest, Brittany Ohl, used a special kind of testing to dramatically lower levels of inflammation in her body virtually overnight. What is most interesting to me, is that this is a test I've used for YEARS with clients! It's always great to hear success stories from outside sources. ⁣ Brittany's experience with all of this has made such an impression on her that she has now decided to go into the functional healthcare field herself so that she can one day help other's resolve their health challenges. ⁣ Tune into this episode to hear the details of this AWESOME story! ⁣ Brittany has kindly given me permission to share her Instagram handle in case anyone has questions for her.

Could you imagine taking custody of your 14 year old sister when you yourself are only 21? For Nicole and Kylie Meckley, that was reality.⁣ ⁣ Kylie, the younger of the two sisters, dealt with some very unfortunate circumstances from an early age. Seeing what was happening to her sister, Nicole jumped in to try to stop it. ⁣ ⁣ After several years of tying to get Kylie to come and live with her, Kylie finally decided to do so at age 14. When you listen to the episode and hear the circumstances Kylie was dealing with, you will have nothing but respect for her level of courage in being able to make the choice that she did. ⁣ ⁣ This episode brings with it a perspective we haven’t had on the show before—the perspective of a young woman who was watching someone she loves deal with mental health and addiction issues they never deserved to have. With this new perspective comes lessons learned about mental health that we don’t always hear on the show, and I am so thankful that Nicole reached out to me to share this with all of us.⁣ ⁣ As always, please let us know what you thought of the episode!⁣ ⁣ ⁣ --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/omhc/support

I personally always remember Connor being a super confident, friendly guy with many different hobbies and interests.⁣ ⁣Once college came around, though, his mental health would begin to take an unexpected turn.⁣ ⁣What I love about this episode is that Connor has a story that is so relatable to so many people. I feel that I am constantly talking to individuals who saw their mental health suffer in college. It's a new environment that, despite grade schools attempts at preparing us, no one is ever truly ready for. ⁣ ⁣Connor was extremely transparent with us in that he is still in the process of healing, but he has a ton of great value to add to anyone who tunes into this episode. ⁣ ⁣To follow Connor or see some of the many awesome things he is involved with today, check out the links below: ⁣ Instagram: @thicccon (named after his love for weightlifting!)⁣ ⁣His personal podcast which is focused around politics: anchor.fm/theconohshow --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/omhc/support

We have the pleasure of introducing Jordan as our first international guest on the OMHC podcast.⁣ ⁣ Jordan was not someone who dealt with mental health issues growing up. In fact, it was something that he never really thought about.
