The Andrew Taylor Show: Thriving and Surviving

What if the most powerful tools for mental health aren't found in therapy or in a prescription, but in how you move and what you eat? Licensed clinician Steve Roth joins Andrew to make a compelling case for integrating physical movement and nutrition into therapy, backed by hard science showing that exercise produces brain chemicals even medication cannot replicate. Whether you're a clinician wanting to expand your approach or someone seeking a deeper understanding of the body-mind connection, this conversation will challenge everything you thought you knew about healing.

Nearly 80% of men over 35 don't have a single close male friend, and the isolation that follows is costing them more than they know. In this episode, Andrew sits down with Thomas McMinn, the founder of Dadhood, a movement built to provide fathers with that missing ingredient: a genuine brotherhood, and explore why male friendships fade, why fear of rejection keeps men from reaching out, and how shared activities can open the door to real connection. Brotherhood isn't a luxury for a dad, it's a necessity.
