⚠️ Ready to stop your psych meds? Don’t make a move until you’ve heard this.

In this powerful episode of The Gaslit Truth Podcast, Deprescribing Consultants Dr. Teralyn and Jenn reveal the science-backed truth behind what your brain really needs before tapering off psychiatric medications.

💥 Spoiler: It’s not just about cutting pills.
It’s about rebuilding what meds may have depleted — your neurotransmitters, your nutrient stores, your resilience.

You’ll learn:

Why amino acids and protein are essential for brain health

The 4 pillars of tapering prep: Nutrition, Sleep, Movement, Mindfulness

How psychiatric meds deplete nutrients, harm your gut, and impact gray matter

Why HIIT may be hurting more than helping

What to do during the crucial “90-day warm-up” phase

🎧 Whether you’re considering tapering, already in the process, or supporting someone who is — this episode is for you.

💥 It’s that simple — and that serious.

The journey to medication freedom begins long before you cut your first pill. We call it the "90-day warmup" – a comprehensive approach to strengthening your brain health through four essential pillars: nutrition, sleep, movement, and meditation.
