This episode is brought to you by BetterHelp, spelled H-E-L-P, help.

They figure out what you need and match you with a licensed professional therapist in under 48 hours.

I've been reading a lot about the history of psychiatry recently, preparing for this gigantic super episode on the history and the current state of the art across the board in psychiatry.

And it's such a fascinating history.

If it reveals anything, it reveals just how complicated the human mind is.

Just how difficult, how heavy, how important the chaos our mind takes us through on a daily basis.

And I've always been a big believer that the sort of psychotherapy approach, talking, talk therapy in all of its different forms is a really powerful method of exploring that.

Anyway, BetterHelp is easy, discreet, affordable, available worldwide.

This episode is also brought to you by Element, my daily zero sugar and delicious electrolyte mix.

I take one packet usually, I put it in one of those larger powdery bottles, mix it up, put it in the fridge, and then drink it throughout the day.

I drink several throughout the day, especially before and after an intensive workout where I know I'm going to lose a lot of

water, a lot of electrolytes, I replenish.

If I don't do that, especially with the fasting I do, I mostly eat one meal a day, and especially with the extremely low carb diet that I eat, basically zero carbs on most days, especially when I'm just

in my happy focus place, getting the electrolytes right just makes me feel good.

I think that's anecdotally what a huge amount of people report online, especially if you're doing keto, carnivore, if you're doing fasting, all that kind of stuff.

Getting the electrolytes right is essential.
