Episode notes

I've been fanboying over Kelly for years, ever since I read her book "A Mind of Your Own" and learned about the dangers of hormonal contraception (specifically "the pill") and their propensity to foster or worsen mood and depressive disorders. Her work is truly revolutionary, yet it's shockingly simple. While her approach is simple - diet, movement, sleep, meditation, and other lifestyle modifications - this work is never simple, but her clients rave about the outcomes. Kelly's practice is to get people off of their psychiatric meds for good, which I think we can all get behind. I'm so stoked for you to hear this interview! And we'll be following up with a part 2...

[00:06:10] - The monoamine hypothesis of depression (aka "too little serotonin") is probably wrong

[00:13:30] - Trauma-based mind control is present in allopathic medicine...for sure

[00:20:15] - The illusion of control in birth and death

[00:28:45] - The gift of COVID

[00:34:00] - When we surrender, the universe delivers

[00:39:00] - How would your life improve if you learned to say "no"?

[00:46:00] - Sovereignty often begins with choosing a home birth

[00:59:45] - "Who am I?" often arises postpartum

[01:03:22] - Kelly's Vital Mind Reset Program
