Do you or someone you know struggle with depression? This is a must-listen-to episode as we sit down with Dr. Paul Saladino. We're talking all about how functional medicine ties into depression. THIS is how we should be treating depression, instead of throwing pharmaceuticals and off you go.

We need to dig DEEPER - while pharmaceuticals can be a great way to help short-term, it's NOT a long term solution. Here is what Dr. Paul and I are covering in this episode...

• What he is seeing in psychiatry residency 
• Pros + cons of traditional treatment of depression
• How depression is connected with food, inflammation, nutrition
• How depression is connected with methylation + genes
• How depression is connected with gut health
• Action steps that YOU can be taking right now if you suffer from depression
