You and your community probably know. Why are women taking so many antidepressants and anti-anxiety medications?

Because the struggle is quite real, that when you're caring for kids, for parents, for siblings who are struggling,

so many women are just in service to a large community, the matriarchs I call them in, where it's just, it's a lot.

We are in an era where women taking care of their brain health can understand risk, can understand benefits, can speak to a variety of experts, can look at randomized trials, and boy, we have got a lot of research and a lot of science about the female brain in a way that we just haven't had before.

It isn't about being perfect. It's about being better. Hello, my name is Dr. Stephanie Stima and I host expert discussions with thought leaders in all facets of health, including

On this show, we discuss complex science, but then we also alchemize it into actionable

integrative psychiatrist, a best-selling author and leading proponent of nutritional

psychiatry and mental fitness. He served as an assistant clinical professor of psychiatry

at Columbia University and the Vigelos College of Physicians and Surgeons for 20 years and

founded the Brain Food Clinic in New York City and Spruce Mental Health in Jackson, Wyoming. So today what we talk about
