235. The Street Psychiatrist: Why Conventional Psychiatry Is Outdated | Psychedelics & Holistic Healing with Dr. Joseph Yi
Description
What if the future of psychiatry isn't about numbing symptoms but unlocking true healing? 🌱
In this powerful episode of the Thrive State Podcast, I sit down with Dr. Joseph Yi, a holistic psychiatrist also known as "Street MD," to explore the emerging role of psychedelics in mental health treatment. From ketamine to MDMA and psilocybin, we dive into how these therapies are reshaping the way we understand anxiety, depression, trauma, and healing.
Discover:
✅ Why antidepressants may not be the full answer
✅ The science of neuroplasticity & psychedelics
✅ The importance of integration after treatment
✅ How lifestyle (sleep, food, movement, community) is still the real foundation for mental health
Psychedelics aren't magic pills — they're tools. Used wisely, they may just be the future of psychiatry.
