#43 - I'm trying Carnivore diet for 30 days!
I'm trying the Carnivore diet which goes against everything I've believed about diet and health my whole life. I used to see videos on the Carnivore diet and I'd immediately either turn it off or just think they were idiots. Now I'm here with 10+ yrs of chronic pain, anxiety, depression having tried multiple diets which put me right here. I figured, what better way to see if this works for me then running a very strict test on myself. So here's the gist of it: ***Only organic grass fed meats, range free chicken/turkey, bone broth and LOTS OF WATER. Pairing this with 16:8 intermittent fasting (11am - 7pm eating window). No caffeine, no alcohol, no carbs, no dairy, no sugars, no veggies no processed foods. Daily exercise at least 30min / 8hrs sleep This isn't to lose weight. This is simply to see how my mind and body respond to this. These are the main issues of mine that I want to track if this diet effects them at all. Anxiety / depression / Overall Mood Migraines Throat issues (Globus sensation/lump in throat) Congestion Body and joint pain tingling Neuropathy sensations Sciatica Ringing in ears I completely understand if this is just downright offensive to some of you but hopefully you'll watch the video and see why I've come to this decision to try the Carnivore diet. Here's to good physical and mental health that I wish for all of you.

#42 - Hitting Pause
I’ve decided to hit pause on our podcast, social media and Patreon for 3-6 months. I said from the beginning my goal is to create a place for open discussions on mental health and that I wanted to consistently put out quality audio, video and more than anything discussions and resources. That has gotten harder and harder over the past 9 months with COVID etc. I feel it’s most fair to our listeners that we take a pause, restructure some things and find a way to put out consistent weekly podcasts for you all. I believe in doing things 100%, and that’s just not possible for me right now with so much going on. * I want to thank you all for being a part of this community and I hope I’ve been able to share some content that has been beneficial for you. The podcast will remain available on YouTube and all podcast platforms but I just need to step away from it for a time to re-group, take a breather and come back at a better time. * Thank you to all of you for listening and we’ll be back soon.

#41 - Migraine Tips
In this episode Kavin discusses a whole host of tools to prevent and/or reduce the number of migraines you're having. Like most things, finding the source to your mental illness, migraines, chronic pain vs just treating the symptoms is always a better approach. We're lucky that we have medication as a tool to help us get to a place that we can do the necessary deeper work, but it shouldn't be looked at as the only solution to our issues. Kavin also shares a stretching and deep breathing program that he purchased years ago. You can find that here Ways you can support our podcast (thank you in advance!)

#40 - Effect of Social Media on Mental Health

#40 - Effect of Social Media on Mental Health
This is one I've wanted to do since I started the podcast. Social Media is an interesting subject to study as it's still so new to humanity. But one thing is clear that while so many great things have come from social media, a lot of negative effects have been detrimental for peoples' mental health. There is a clear increase in depression, anxiety and suicide with the invention of the iPhone in 2007. Social Media was suppose to connect us to people and while it does that in so many great ways, it also ironically disconnects us with people. It's not a coincidence that a lot of the heads of these social media giants refuse to let their own children have social media accounts. This episode isn't about everyone getting off (while that might be necessary for some), it's more about learning how to have a healthy relationship with it. For some social media is about growing businesses and making new connections in industry, for others it's about honing in on a talent of theirs and sharing it with the world, yet for many it's a place they go that makes them feel bullied, less than, terrible parents, spouses or that they're worthless. Social media has caused problems with my mental health in the past as I had an unhealthy habit of comparing myself to other people. I took over a year off completely disconnected from it and it was fantastic, but also hard when trying to run businesses. I did a complete overhaul and found ways to make it a place that makes me laugh, grow business and strive to put out positivity. If we're going to social media to troll, degrade, constantly debate and shame people with different ideas than you, then it's probably time to take a break from it. It can be a very positive thing for you as you use it mindfully. How to support our podcast: YouTube: Like/Subscribe Patreon: Patreon.com/inmyheadpodcast .

#39 - Men's mental health w/ Chad Brown
I enjoyed sitting down with Chad Brown who's a practicing life coach. We talked all about men's mental health. There are so many topics within mental health and this one in particular is so important because the statistics show that men die by suicide 3 to 4 times more than women. Something is going on where men don't feel like they can open up when they're struggling. In this episode we cover a lot on the stereotypes about male masculinity and the unproductive ways that men see themselves as people that can't ever show their vulnerabilities Chad and his partner Drew Renner have started a retreat endeavor called "Epic Man Trips". They go on a trip with a group of men which often involves mountain biking, dirt bike riding, climbing etc. They're usually staying in a cabin in a remote spot and dig into what is stopping men from being their best selves as individuals, husbands, dads, employees etc. They've reported lots of success stories from these men that feel stuck in their lives and are able to meet in a group to understand they aren't alone and talk about the tools to break out of those unhelpful ways of thinking.

#37 - 30 days no sugar & caffeine
I love doing challenges that really push me out of my comfort zone. Caffeine and sugar are two of my biggest weaknesses that I crave and love and often have a hard time using them in moderation. So every year or so, I'll get off of it and I see enormous benefits. Starting Oct 15, 2020 I'm doing 30 days and would love for you to join me. If you're like me, when you get off caffeine and sugar there are bad withdrawal symptoms that come with it like fatigue, headaches/migraines, irritability, severe cravings etc. I'm going to try various things along the way to lower the intensity of all that like drinking plenty of water, drinking celery juice every morning, coconut water, eating plenty of food especially whole foods, getting plenty of sleep and more. Always good to try something hard for yourself that pushes you so we'll see how it goes.

#36 - Mental & Emotional Abuse w/ Sharesa Cancino
What started as Sharesa messaging me on Instagram turned into inviting her to do an episode on the podcast. I'm really inspired by her strength through dealing with mental illness most of her life and then living in a marriage with mental and emotional abuse for years. We discuss how she dealt with not only anxiety and suicidal ideation but living in a toxic marriage and being a parent. While there are really sad parts to Sharesa's story, I view it as a hero story as she's been able to move on as well as find strength in her journey. I was really inspired listening how she developed the necessary tools to take control of her mental health, find a supportive partner, and continue to be a positive light in her daughter's life.

We share tips on communication, getting out of the house, letting each other thrive together and independently of each other. We talked supporting each others goals, therapy and trying to understand each others differences and needs. To any of you dealing with this mental illness in a relationship, I really hope our perspective helps you.

We're really wanting to grow the podcast and In order to do that we need a bit of help from our awesome listeners. We're now on which is a monthly donation website. We've decided to go this route to avoid having our listeners listening to paid advertisements throughout the podcast episodes. A lot of work and time goes into each episode with finding and scheduling a guest, research, filming/recording, editing, uploading and posting to social media, not to mention the costs of running the website and domain fees as well as podcasting equipment. Up to this point, I've covered that all myself but as time goes on it gets harder to put out an episode every week. Your donations will help us be able to greatly streamline this process by purchasing equipment as well as hiring some help. 100% of your donation will go to the production of the podcast and YouTube channel. Just go to and you can donate as little as $1/month. Thank you so much for your support. I've been so grateful for all your support and the important conversations we've been able to have to remove the stigma of mental illness. With your help we'll be able to extend the reach and provide more resources to those in need and education for those wanting to help their loved ones. Thanks so much!

#30 - Movember w/ Greg Oliva
It was an honor to chat with Greg Oliva for this episode. Based in Los Angeles, Greg is a Member of the community development team working with dedicated Mo Bros and Mo Sisters from around the US to support them in their efforts to raise funds and awareness for men’s health. He works for Movember as their Community Development Manager. He shared so much information that was new to me and it's so worth taking time on the website to learn about the scary numbers regarding men's mental and physical health. Just to name a couple: 3 out of 4 suicides are men and there's one a minute. Meaning just during this podcast alone, 60 men have taken their life. Greg not only talks about the stats but he talks about all the tools continually being developed to stop this number in it's tracks and preventing men from dying too early. Movember has long been my favorite charity and causes. It’s the leading charity changing the face of men’s health on a global scale, focusing on mental health and suicide prevention, prostate cancer and testicular cancer. Movember is best known for their campaign they do in November where November 1st you clean shave your face and grow a statue throughout the month which opens up conversations to others. They also have a way to create your own Mo-Community on their website and have friendly competitions for raising funds for more research and prevention tools. Movember has given the largest donation to the Prostate Cancer Foundation. The charity raises funds to deliver innovative, breakthrough research and support programs that enable men to live happier, healthier and longer lives. Committed to disrupting the status quo, millions have joined the movement, helping fund over 1,250 projects around the world. In addition to tackling key health issues faced by men, Movember is working to encourage men to stay healthy in all areas of their life, with a focus on men staying socially connected and becoming more open to discussing their health and significant moments in their lives. The charity’s vision is to have an everlasting impact on the face of men’s health. To donate or learn more, please visit .

Quick little check in episode hoping you're all safe and healthy. I've had people reach out to me talking about things they're doing to combat the feelings of anxiety and I've shared how I cope with it as well. These are uncertain times and everyone is effected in different ways but these are the times to prove who we are. Are we the nice ones when times are good then hoard TP and push and shove at the store when times are tough, or do we use these times to be a good neighbor? Hopefully the latter. Many are suffering in ways I can't even begin to understand, but I can put myself out there to try and be there for them, even in very small ways. Let's take care of each other! Love you all!

I had such a great time chatting with Jerri as she shared her experience with her husband overcoming a pornography addiction. We cover so many great things in this episode and I learned a lot. We discuss that at the root of all addiction is trauma. One of my favorite parts was when Jerri said "The opposite of addiction isn't sobriety, it's connection." After Jerri's husband Mark went through an inpatient program they started their own in Southern Utah called Desert Solace. People come in from all over the US and outside to receive top notch inpatient treatment and connection and for those who follow the program and continue with it see a 100% success rate! They deal primarily with sex and pornography addiction. Jerri is a super fun and energetic person and I had such a good time talking with her and think there's so much to learn from this episode. If one of you is dealing with any type of addiction, she and her husband are incredible resources and can provide so many answers, resources and hope. You can read more about their program at .

#19 - Crazy Ketamine Experience
We're back after a month off. In this episode I detail my experience back in October of receiving Ketamine treatments and how not following my own advice led me to end up in the ER. I've mentioned many times on this podcast that I'm a huge Ketamine advocate as long as it's done by a certified physician via IV infusions, that it's done of the course of 2-3 weeks and that the practitioner is present the entire time. On my week long trip to San Diego in October, I wanted to try Ketamine treatments again, so I ended up getting four treatments, four days in a row which turned out to not be a good thing. The first two treatments were two of the best experiences ever, but my body needed a rest and by day four, my body was completed exhausted. This episode outlines the bad things and the good things of this experience and what I'd do different next time. I'm still a big proponent of Ketamine infusions as long as they're done as previously mentioned. I didn't follow that outline and paid for it. But I hope in this episode you'll get something positive out of this in that I still had incredible experiences that I'll carry with me for the rest of my life.

I sat down with a buddy of mine, Joe Tanner. We've been friends for years and didn't know until about three months ago that he has suffered with depression for a huge part of his life. A big theme of this episode is surrounding yourself with people you can talk to and opening up about the struggle of mental illness. Most people will find that people really care for your well being. The more we open up about this not only helps us find resources and clarity but also assists in destroying the stigma that is quickly going away. We talk sympathy vs empathy. We talk parenting as a dad with depression and anxiety and the trials in that, wanting to be the best parent you can. We talk about parenting in a way that allows space for your kids to open up if they're struggling with mental illness. We talk about how social media plays on our weaknesses of “I’m not good enough”, comparing yourself to others and instant gratification that instantly goes away.

#16 - Ketamine w/ Dr. Drew Belnap, M.D.
This episode is all about Ketamine treatments for mental health. I sit down with Dr. Drew Belnap, M.D. who runs the South Coast TMS & Ketamine clinic in Encinitas, CA. He's treated thousands of patients with Ketamine with anxiety, depression, suicidality, PTSD, OCD, bipolar, migraines, eating disorders, chronic pain and more. He said science researchers are treating Ketamine like the Holy Grail and they're just starting to realize the benefits of it. I've personally received Ketamine treatments and had great experiences and Drew has had many people tell him that he literally saved their life. For many people this is a last resort after they've tried everything. Over 80% of patients experience a 50% improvement to their mental health and many go into full remission. I hope you like this episode, please subscribe and share with others! Thank you for watching.

#15 - The Return of Anxiety
This is a solo episode where I talk about my recent experience having anxiety and depression creep back in for a few weeks. I talk about the things I do when I start feeling anxious again. This time I completely tweaked most aspects of my lifestyle. Started exercising 5 times a week, doing sauna, supplementing vitamins, CBD, cut out sugar, caffeine and gluten, did spin classes, yoga, pilates, meditation, weight lifting, running and more. I did anything I could to burn energy and also calm my mind and body. And while I started all this to get feeling better, I've developed a little routine that feels much better than just peeling myself off the bed and going to work. For the past 10yrs anxiety and depression have been a roller coaster for me, sometimes being a mellow kids ride with little ups and downs and then like recently like a Magic Mountain free fall. This has been some of the most extreme anxiety I've felt in the past 10yrs and it felt really defeating but through taking control and trying to be healthy in all aspects, I've been feeling much better and once again realized that we can't get down on ourselves when these things surface again. We need to put in the work to feeling better cause it won't just disappear on its own. In this episode I share specifics about these experiences in the past couple of months to hopefully help listeners know that while they may be currently experiencing heavy depression or anxiety, it does pass if we take the wheel and take care of ourselves. I hope you enjoy this hour long rant haha!

#14 - Krystal Chong
Krystal Chong is a Holistic Anxiety Specialist. We talked about so many things on this episode from dealing with anxiety on a daily basis, to holistic options to changing negative mindsets that we tell ourselves. Krystal was diagnosed with general anxiety at a level 9 out of 10 at the age of 14. She was told that with medication and luck she'd be able to get down to a 7 for the rest of her life. In her 20s she got to the point where she thought suicide was the only option. That day she made the shift to change her odds and her outcome became what it is today. She's been on a 20+ year journey to find healthy solutions to anxiety. She has a book out called "What the Hell am I Supposed to do With My Life" () that takes you through her journey of having paralyzing anxiety daily to waking up everyday energized and excited for life. She's had incredible feedback and reviews for her book . You can check out some interviews she's done here: , , . She's developed an 8 phase program for helping people to find natural solutions to their anxiety and people are finding great success working with Krystal. She also has a lot of free downloads for meditation, diet and anxiety emergency tool kits available on her website (). I think one of the most important things with this episode and many others is that there are so many options to finding the resources and help you need for your optimal mental health. Whether that's medication, therapy, yoga, meditation, exercise, diet, Ketamine or all of the above, the important part is that you take your mental recovery into your own hands and use the resources available.
