Hey guys, ever felt like mental health advice just isn't cutting it for you? Told to "just tough it out" or "talk about your feelings" but still feeling overwhelmed and stressed? If you're tired of ineffective solutions and ready for real results, let's talk about getting your mental well-being back on track.

"It's time to get mental. We've got to stop delaying this stuff. It is so valuable. You will see a difference. There's a lot of different tools out there. Find the tool that works for you and start using it." - Anson Whitmer

In this episode, you will be able to:

  • Discover how to prioritize mental health with a men's mental health app.
  • Learn to infuse humor into mental health for a refreshing approach.
  • Explore the significance of normalizing mental health conversations.
  • Take proactive steps to improve your mental well-being today.
  • Uncover the importance of lifestyle changes for better mental health.

My special guest is Anson Whitmer

Anson Whitmer is a neuroscientist and advocate for mental health. He has dedicated his career to understanding the complexities of mental well-being, driven by personal experiences with the tragic loss of family members. Anson's work in neuroscience and research on rumination, depression, and anxiety has led him to prioritize scalable solutions for mental health, particularly for men. His involvement in founding a mental health app and his insights into the different cultural approaches to men's mental health shed light on the critical need for tailored solutions in this space. Anson's expertise and passion for this topic make him a valuable voice in the conversation around men's mental health.
