Guest: Mark Deis, Nurse Practitioner & Medical Director at SOAR

In this 90-minute conversation, I sit down with Mark Deis—our nurse practitioner and medical director at SOAR—for one of the most eye-opening discussions we've had on the podcast so far.

We dive deep into:

SSRIs and depression medication

How addiction rewires the brain

Why people get stuck in the “head prison” and how to escape it"

The role barbell training plays in improving mood, anxiety, and long-term mental health

What’s really going on with Ozempic and its impact on both physical and mental health

Why some people stay sad—and why others seem to find joy more easily

Mark brings a grounded, clinical perspective mixed with a deep heart for recovery. Whether you’re on your own healing journey or just love real conversations about health, addiction, and the mind-body connection—this one’s for you.
