Episode 8: Reclaiming yourself in the age of tech addiction with guest Kelly Brogan MD

https://wearenotsam.com/the-we-know-show/episode-8-reclaiming-yourself-in-the-age-of-tech-addiction-with-kelly-brogan-md/

In this episode of the We Know Show, we had the pleasure of speaking with Kelly Brogan MD. Kelly is a holistic psychiatrist, thought leader and pioneer in the realm of mental health and wellbeing. Trained within an allopathic model of healthcare, Kelly made the transition to a solely holistic practice following a personal health crisis she successfully put into remission using non-pharmaceutical lifestyle interventions. She is the author of three books including the New York Times bestseller, A Mind of Your Own, and co-editor of the landmark textbook Integrative Therapies For Depression. Kelly completed her psychiatric training and fellowship at NYU Medical Center after graduating from Cornell University Medical College, and has a Bachelor of Science from M.I.T. in Systems Neuroscience.

Kelly is truly a force. Here she shares her wealth of knowledge and a fresh perspective on everything from tech addiction and its impact on our mental health, the “activism shadow” – why we must take an honest look at the fight within to understand the fight outside – how to focus on our lived reality, what science isn’t telling us, and so much more.
