I can't thank you enough for this. Coming from a history of both working in the mental health field as well as a personal struggle with mental health that became apparent after severe trauma. With the knowledge I've gained over the years, this should have been diagnosed as PTSD. This led me down a path of starting an SSR!, which was helpful, but as time went on was not a path I wanted to stay on. I would very slowly wean off and be fine until confronted with a large stress. Then I would find myself sinking back into depression, panic and return to using an SSRI. This on and off use continued for over a decade. Finally after once again weaning myself off, I followed up with a Dr. of natural medicine. He started me on adrenal and hormonal support which was extremely helpful and I felt I had resolved the depression for good. However about four years later, after a serious stressor, I ended up with leaky gut and became quite ill with persistent diarrhea leading to extreme weight loss. Again, with the help of a naturopath, I was able to get better. But it has been a struggle since than to stay healthy. Their are a multitude of factors that I strongly suspect are contributing. I find it frustrating because some of these such as mercury toxicity, possible mold exposure and suspected systemic candida are expensive to deal with. But that aside, I loved this interview and for many years have believed her approach is a much healthier one. This is painfully lacking in mainstream medicine and I share her hope that there will be a merger between functional and mainstream medicine.
Hi Wilma, we truly appreciate you sharing your story and experience with us! Your experience is not an uncommon one sadly. We hear similar stories from others and we are so happy to be able to share these podcasts and experts with you!
Dr. Stein is an amazing physician!! (:D She shines with a genuine gift to focus on each individual with great detail and care!!! Our family has suffered with major anxiety & very serious depression!!! We are soooooo grateful function doctors, etc. are opening new doors and putting a bright light on this subject!! THANKS TO SARAH & MATT FOR FOCUSING ON THIS VERY MISUNDERSTOOD SUBJECT!-!-!-!-!
Very interesting... I would never have been prescribed antidepressant. It's their withdrawal that kicked in many inflammation issues in my body which are now still not in control 5 years later despite a good diet... Now what's next ? Can't function anymore anyway. Lost my job, my friends, my social life, my beloved hobbies and physical activities... Modern psychiatry is poisoning. New approches like this one are welcome and could change the game for many patients : they could avoid to be put on toxic drugs that will ruin their life for ever. Thank you for this new insights, more human.

Excellent interview. Organic, vegan, gluten-free, soya-free food and filtered water are the essentials of our health.

People with Hashimoto´s suffer depresión and is very difficult to know what is missing with their diet to fix leaky bowel and leaky brain.
You are correct, Maria. We are hopeful that the words and wisdom from our speakers will help others in the world be able to find some answers.
She looks like she's 14 years old!
Maybe another thing we can learn from Dr. Stein, how to take care of ourselves to help with the young factor! 😊
