For decades, the chemical imbalance theory has been the dominant explanation for depression. Most people, including professionals, have been led to believe that depression is caused by a deficiency in serotonin—a neurotransmitter in the brain—and that psychiatric medications correct this imbalance. However, this widely accepted theory lacks scientific evidence and has been debunked by modern research.In this detailed breakdown, we will explore the true origins of the chemical imbalance theory, its promotion by pharmaceutical companies, the latest scientific findings, and a more comprehensive way to understand and address depression.As with every episode, you'll hear personal stories. In today's EP, its my story of being diagnosed and prescribed as a young teen, and why that was so problematic and how we can avoid such mistakes moving forward.

Her coaching combines business strategy, money management and mindset to help entrepreneurs dissolve the limiting beliefs that keep them stuck in a cycle of under-selling, under-earning, and under-investing. Unfortunately, too many women - and men - never learned how to understand money, earn abundantly, and manage their finances to build wealth. Debbie believes it's time we changed that narrative! None of us should have to dim our lights and brilliance to build a solid financial reality for ourselves and our families - now and in the future! When we own our wealth and take responsibility for it, we give other people permission to shine their brilliance brightly, too.

Using her own past as a Holocaust survivor and thriver as a powerful analogy, she inspires people to tap their full potential and shape their very best destinies. It's a message of healing and personal growth. A message of freedom from selfimposed limitations. A message of CHOICE to move from recovery to discovery and beyond." Jordan Engle "Jordan Engle is a storyteller. His passion for finding powerful stories and helping to bring them to life is his soul's work. In his 20's as an actor and screenwriter Jordan spent 10 years in Los Angeles learning the craft of filmmaking and storytelling. From there his passion for still photography led him into a career taking portraits of actors and professionals. From being Google's preferred headshot photographer to creating portraits of Kevin Hart, Jordan's passion for photography has been a steady source of inspiration. In addition to photography, for the last 5 years Jordan has immersed himself into the Edie-verse as he calls it. As the grandson of Dr. Edith Eger, Jordan has used his storytelling and content creating to support Edie's rise to fame and success as a transformational figure and author. Together Jordan and Edie have recently created two breakthrough online courses, "Unlocking Your Potential" and "Forgiveness : A gift I give myself," both offered through Jordan's company, Soul Search. Next Jordan is co-authoring with Edie her third book, which will be focused on the young adult audience, where Edie takes readers through her youth, and tells her story of her holocaust survival in order to show young readers the lessons they can use in their own life.

Today's guest is Dr. Ellen Vora, and we're diving in to why mental health is actually so much more than mental, as well as how you can live and work with greater wellbeing. Dr. Vora takes a functional medicine approach to mental health, considering the whole person and addressing the problem at the root, rather than reflexively prescribing medication to suppress symptoms. She takes the whole person into consideration, focusing on everything from physical health, sleep, nutrition, digestion, thought patterns, relationships and community, to our connection with nature, creativity, and purpose. Dr. Vora attended Columbia University for medical school and received her B.A. in English from Yale University. She’s a board-certified psychiatrist, acupuncturist and yoga teacher.  You can connect with Dr. Vora on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ellenvoramd/ Or on her website https://ellenvora.com/ And you can buy her best-selling book, The Anatomy of Anxiety, using this link: https://ellenvora.com/book/ My own journey being diagnoses with depression over 25 years ago, I’ve learned first hand how important Dr. Vora’s approach is.

Kicking bad habits is never easy-- Laurie Lewis knows exactly this feeling from when she kicked sugar almost 20 years ago. Growing up, Laurie maintained a very midwestern American diet, totally opposite to her new palette for bitter greens. With her life now as an intermittent fasting coach, she’s always been a big advocate for the diet since it helped her through her own time with menopause. Since then, she’s been spreading the word to help women going through the same thing, hopefully providing the solution for them to overcome the weight, emotional, and mental issues that come with this giant hormonal shift in our bodies.
