So it's important to talk about this as

the entire part of the experience and make sure that we don't get so distracted that we don't dive deeper into exploring these tools to really support those who need them the most.

And actually a key part and one of the big ideas that you start the book off with is that we have to understand that these

medicines exists in the context of a landscape where mental health care, while it's often filled with many people who are doing its best, as a system, it's lost its way.

Can we chat about that in the context of this conversation?

In your origin story, in the opening of the book, you talk about how you yourself, as a clinician, had one of these very, very tough moments where two of your patients died by suicide within days of each other.

We'll unpack your full story here on the podcast, but just tell us that since we're talking about the idea

where even many clinicians, not only do patients feel that the system is failing them, but the clinicians who want to deliver great care to people, they themselves are in the same camp often.

And many of them, like yourself,

had experienced great loss, which opened them up to other possibilities that are there.

Can you talk about that moment in your story?

Let's talk about my favorite single habit that supports recovery, cardiovascular health, stress resilience, and a better night's sleep, and it's sauna.

That's one of the reasons I've been such a longtime fan of Sunlighten saunas.

They make it easy to turn a simple daily ritual into a powerful,

powerful investment into your long-term health.

Their saunas use clinically studied infrared wavelengths to gently raise your core body temperature.

Instead of just heating the air, that infrared light penetrates deeper into your tissues, supporting circulation, cardiovascular health, recovery, and your body's natural detox pathways.

But beyond the science, it's how it makes you feel.

I'll do 20 to 30 minutes.

I'll get a deep sweat.
