Discover the evolving landscape of mental health with us on the Gaslit Truth Podcast as we sit down with Dr. Josh Friedman, a pioneer in nutritional psychology. Dr. Josh's journey from traditional mental health treatment to embracing holistic and nutritional approaches offers profound insights into the biochemical and nutritional foundations of psychological well-being. He shares how his diverse background in psychoanalysis, yoga, and holistic health informs his unique approach, while also touching on the challenges he's faced, including an intriguing Facebook ban during the COVID-19 pandemic for discussing alternative health perspectives. 

In this eye-opening episode, we address a critical issue: the relentless pursuit of credentials in the mental health field, and the often-overlooked importance of hands-on work with individuals. Our discussion highlights the skepticism and eventual acceptance of innovative therapies, like amino acid therapy, and notes a shift toward integrative medicine, as evidenced by the rising number of therapists embracing more holistic views. We also delve into the stagnation within psychiatry despite the introduction of new treatments, emphasizing the need for comprehensive medical evaluations and the effectiveness of simple, foundational health practices.

Finally, we share our inspiring experiences from a recent conference that connected us with influential figures like Christina Veselak and Hila Cass. These encounters reinforced the importance of following one's path and trusting in one's capabilities. We challenge the notion of "treatment resistance," suggesting that it often indicates a need for new tools. By sharing personal triumphs and the fulfillment of making a difference, we hope to inspire mental health professionals to embrace their unique approaches, fostering a supportive community for future practitioners.
