Dr. Leslie Korn takes us on an unforgettable journey from the heart of Boston during the Vietnam War to the lush jungles of Mexico, where she discovered the profound healing powers of traditional medicine. Her unique blend of meditation, yoga, and lessons from local healers shapes her pioneering approach to mental health and wellness. This episode of the Gaslit Truth Podcast offers a deep dive into Dr. Korn's groundbreaking work, revealing how integrative medicine can transform modern mental health care.

Our conversation doesn't shy away from the harsh realities of mental health treatment in marginalized communities. We tackle the systemic racial injustices within the prison system, focusing on the overmedication and misdiagnosis of Black inmates and the specific challenges faced by middle-aged women. Dr. Korn and I dissect the broader implications of misdiagnosing mental health conditions and stress the necessity of adopting a trauma-informed, holistic approach to treatment. This eye-opening discussion is crucial for understanding the complexities of mental health care and the urgent need for systemic change.

Nutrition's impact on mental health and the contentious role of therapists as frontline educators is another hot topic we cover. Dr. Korn argues for integrating nutritional knowledge into therapy, emphasizing that therapists are ideally positioned to educate clients about their overall health. We also discuss the critical issues surrounding psychiatric medications, exploring the myths about SSRIs and the significant side effects many patients experience. This episode advocates for a more holistic, informed approach to mental health care, empowering both therapists and clients on their journey toward a healthier, more authentic life.
