1. Why This, Why Now
If you’re receiving this, it’s because you’re part of my community, personally or professionally, and I want to bring you into something I’ve quietly been building behind the scenes.
For the past few years, I’ve been studying and applying functional psychiatry. What started as professional curiosity quickly became a mission. After two decades in mental health and addiction recovery, I couldn’t ignore a growing truth: the conventional model just isn’t enough.
Too many people are suffering from anxiety, burnout, low motivation, brain fog, or substance use patterns, and being offered little more than quick-fix solutions, rushed detoxes, or another prescription. Most are never told what’s really going on beneath the surface.
That’s where MendtheMind comes in.
This space is born out of a deep desire to change the conversation around recovery and mental wellness. Not with judgment or labels, but with science, compassion, and root-cause solutions.
2. What Kind of Community I’m Building
MendtheMind is for people who want to go deeper.
It's for high-achieving professionals, wellness-minded individuals, or anyone who's ever thought: “Why do I still feel off, even though I’m doing everything right?”
It’s for those questioning their relationship with substances. For people who want alternatives to prescription meds. And for those looking to rebuild resilience from the inside out.
Here, we’ll value:
✅ Real talk, free of stigma
✅ Functional psychiatry + integrative strategies
✅ Biochemical and nutritional root-cause insights
✅ Personalized prep: before detox, before tapering, before giving up
Whether you’re sober-curious, medication-weary, or simply want your brain and body to function better, you belong here!

5. Where It’s Headed
I spent a long time waiting to start this, telling myself I needed to know more, plan more, perfect everything.
But healing doesn’t happen in perfection. It happens in motion. In curiosity. In community.
So I’m starting messy, but fully aligned, with a belief that there are people out there looking for exactly this: a place to explore deeper healing, smarter strategies, and sustainable recovery on their terms.
If that’s you, welcome. I’m honored to have you here.
Let’s grow, learn, and rebuild—together.
See you next week,
