Author: Timothy J. Hayes, Psy.D. December 29, 2020 Duration: 41:19

Mental health issues have their way of creeping into the rest of our lives, affecting us not only mentally and emotionally but also physically. Finding a way to work around her own mental health struggles, Deepa Kannan started her journey as a Yoga Acharya for over two decades now, a Functional Nutritionist, and a Certified Food and Spirit Practitioner. Since then, she has brought together the masterful understanding of the human anatomy with a cohesive understanding of Physiology to offer what can be classified as true bio-individual mind, body, and spirit nutrition. In this episode, she joins Timothy J. Hayes, Psy.D., to share with us some of her methods in helping people take care of their health using a holistic approach. Deepa also takes us into her podcast, The Sleep Whisperer Podcast, where she specializes in detoxification, women’s health, adrenal function, and sleep to restore them to a healthy and functional sleep pattern and lifestyle. Join Deepa in this conversation to uncover the transformation that happens when you take out one of the main inflammatory things in our system: stress.

Mental health isn't a monologue; it's a conversation we're all having, whether quietly with ourselves or openly with others. On Your Mind is that conversation given a voice, hosted by clinical psychologist Dr. Timothy J. Hayes. This podcast moves beyond abstract theory to explore the practical, human side of psychological well-being. Each episode features candid discussions with practitioners who are actively guiding people through their struggles, focusing on tangible strategies for building resilience and achieving a sustainable sense of wellness. You'll hear from therapists, counselors, and other experts within the Journey's Dream community, sharing insights that are as applicable to personal growth as they are to professional development. The dialogue is grounded in real-world experience, offering perspectives on navigating anxiety, improving relationships, fostering emotional fitness, and redefining what it means to be truly healthy. It’s for anyone who has ever asked themselves the question in its title-whether you're seeking support for your own journey, supporting a loved one, or simply have a deep curiosity about the inner workings of the human experience. Tune in for a thoughtful, accessible exploration of the mind, where complex ideas are broken down with clarity and compassion.
