#102: What’s If It’s NOT Depression with Dr. Achina Stein

At least 15% of adults will experience depression at some point in their lifetime. In many cases, the symptom of depression occurs as a direct result of specific imbalances present in the body that go undiagnosed due to the current medical paradigm of solely controlling the symptom with pharmaceutical drugs.What if you could uncover, discover and address the underlying root cause of your depression and be free from this disabling symptom once and for all? Dr. Achina Stein shares how her son went from preparing to jump to his death from a balcony to thriving in life by doing just this. Her heroic journey transformed her understanding of what true health and healing are and how they are created by addressing the root causes of disease.Key Notes:Making a mental health illness diagnosisFactors that affect mental healthTraditional medical treatment of depression with pharmacologics-is it really better than placebo?The role of root cause resolution or functional medicine in addressing mental health illness Quotes:“You can’t put a human being who’s very complex into a little box.”– Dr. Achina Stein“Foods can be poison and food can sometimes heal.” – Dr. Achina Stein“Your gut is your second brain.” – Dr. KyrinLinks Mentioned:Dr. Achina Stein’s website - https://www.achinasteindo.com/What’s If It’s NOT Depression book - https://www.amazon.com/What-Its-NOT-Depression-Solutions-ebook/dp/B082BGWVD2 See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

How are women over 40 like us actually keeping weight off, energy up, our minds and moods clear and our health in amazing shape? How do we balance our hormones so that we can feel great in our own skin, be who we really want to be and fulfill all of our dreams in this life? The truth is...most of us aren’t. I spent years frustrated with the failure of my OBGYN training to actually provide successful solutions to the health challenges most women face after 40. After discovering the truth about women’s health and learning the language of hormones, something not taught in medical school, I finally lost 100 pounds and healed myself from chronic fatigue and a host of other health problems. But how do other women learn the language of hormones to experience the same success? This podcast is here to give you the answer. Join me as I help you understand why hormone imbalance is at the root of your overweight, fatigue, irritability, brain fog and really all of your health concerns. Learn how to speak the language of hormones and get tangible strategies on ways you can work through the same hormone challenges we all face. My name is Dr. Kyrin Dunston.
