Podcasts about Moncrieff

For decades, depression has often been described as the result of a chemical imbalance in the brain. But how strong is the evidence behind that idea? This episode explores one perspective on an area of medicine that continues to be actively debated and is intended to encourage thoughtful discussion—not to provide individualized medical advice. Today on The Dr. Hyman Show, I'm joined by psychiatrist and researcher Dr. Joanna Moncrieff to examine the science behind the serotonin theory and explore how it shaped modern mental health care. Together, we consider why rethinking our assumptions may open the door to a more complete understanding of depression and recovery. We discuss: • Whether depression is best understood through the lens of a chemical imbalance—or something far more complex • How the serotonin theory shaped modern psychiatry and why it's increasingly being questioned • What current research says about antidepressants, emotional numbing, and informed consent • Why lifestyle, nutrition, trauma, and social connection deserve a larger role in supporting mental health • How a more individualized, whole-person approach could change the way we think about depression and recovery Mental health treatment is deeply personal, and this episode explores one perspective on an area of medicine that continues to evolve. If you're currently taking antidepressants or other prescription medications, don't stop or change your treatment based on this discussion alone. Instead, use it as a starting point for an informed conversation with your healthcare provider. Learn More: Dr. Moncrieff recently participated in an FDA Expert Panel on SSRIs and Pregnancy. If you'd like to explore another perspective on the evidence discussed in this episode, you can watch the panel here.

Nick talks to Jean Moncrieff, CEO of the Small Giants Community and author of Finding Freedom, who shares his personal journey of building a company, almost losing it through an ill-advised exit, and eventually selling it successfully to his management team.  The conversation explores how business owners can build high-value, purpose-driven companies that offer genuine lifestyle freedom. Jean and Nick dive deep into the crucial role of alignment, the psychology of leadership, and how to successfully navigate different exit options—including employee ownership models—by cultivating a high-performing leadership team. KEY TAKEAWAYS To successfully scale a business, founders must shift their mindset from needing to be the smartest person in the room to intentionally surrounding themselves with leaders who are highly capable of running things independently. When building a leadership team, alignment with the company's core values and unique culture is just as critical as a candidate's tactical skills and job capabilities. As an unprecedented wave of baby boomer business owners look to retire, a severe shortage of capable incoming leaders is creating a significant leadership vacuum. True financial and lifestyle freedom is achieved by systematically executing three distinct phases in order: exiting daily operational chaos, exiting the business's management operations, and finally, executing the financial exit of the business itself. BEST MOMENTS "Feed me, John, feed me... I was chasing output, I was chasing revenue... and I thought that's what this was all about."  "You don't want to control your business, you want to be able to curate above it; you want to be in charge, but control is bad because you're stuck in everything."  "I think it's almost like sticking a light bulb into the socket, and if the wiring's done right, the thing lights up." "The quickest way that I advise the founders that I work with to get to where they want to get to is bring the person who's done it. Bring the person in... and then get out of the way."
