EPISODE 160: FUNCTIONAL APPROACHES TO SUPPORT MENTAL HEALTH, WITH ZAK PYM WILLIAMS


Listen Later

In this episode, Laura and Clayton sit down with Zak Pym Williams (mental health advocate, entrepreneur, and son of the late Robin Williams) for an honest conversation about trauma, healing, and holistic wellness. Zak opens up about his experience with grief following his father's death, and how it led to struggles with anxiety, depression, PTSD, and self-medication with alcohol.

After hitting a breaking point, Zak turned to functional approaches to support his mental health. Inspired by his wife’s success with amino acid therapy, he co-founded PYM (Prepare Your Mind), a company offering natural supplements like Mood Chews to support emotional well-being and neurotransmitter balance.

Zak shares how tools like nutrition, mindfulness, and community became pillars of his mental hygiene practice, and how embracing a holistic, functional medicine approach helped him reclaim his life. It's a raw, inspiring look at transforming pain into purpose and finding new ways to support mental wellness. Learn more at youcanpym.com.
