In Episode 039 of A Medicinal Mind: Wisdom and Wellbeing, I seek to dispel some of the myths behind mental health with naturopathic doctor, Dr. Christina Bjorndal.

As you will hear in the podcast, Dr. Bjorndal’s journey to becoming a holistic mental health clinician is anything but linear or easy.

In this conversation, Dr. Bjorndal, shares some intimate details of her own struggle with mental illness, navigating the medical system, stigma and labels that sought to suppress her flourishing.

Growing through these incredible experiences, Dr. Bjorndal offers some of her own insightful wisdom as she realized the power of nutrition, connection and emotional freedom to cultivate whole being wellness.

She leads us through her own definition of health and walks us through her clinical approach to addressing mental illness, offering powerful physiologic and psychological therapies to bring about positive changes to an otherwise conflicted mind, body and spirit.

Dr. Bjorndal and I even dig into some potentially controversial topics, exploring the “victim” mentality and what it means to contribute meaningfully to society.

We even start to ask the question: What thoughts and beliefs are actually behind our most common habits and perceptions?

Dr. Bjorndal’s story and clinical work is beyond inspiring and will certainly empower anyone who has experienced mental illness.

I personally resonated with one her most poignant pieces of wisdom “you will be with you longer than anyone else, so why not start focusing on the relationship with yourself first.”

I hope you resonate with her authentic story and seek out some of her nourishing resources created to support people through their journeys of healing.

And with that, let’s dig into the show!

Commendable insight! Mental health is the integration of rational, intellectual, and communal well-being. It puts a huge impact on the way a person inclines, senses, and acts. Our cognitive health also plays a key role in determining how we manage stress and make smart selections. No matter, you are in which stage of life, the significance of the abstract health can never be underrated. On the whole, I can say that like physical health, mental health is another state of health that strengthens our potentiality to make good life selections and handle the unavoidable ups and downs of life.
