Ross McKenzie is a former top-tier athlete with firsthand experience overcoming powerful psychotropic pharmaceutical medicine. He has become a storied spiritual trailblazer on a lifelong pilgrimage of self-discovery. His work as a Relational Somatic Therapist and Professional Life Coach/Mentor is focused on guiding clients through the intimate process of consciously navigating the darkest nights of the soul.
I first discovered Ross after attending the online Mental Wellness Summit, and I was intrigued by his story told in the award-winning feature-length documentary film "Bipolarized". I am honored to have him as our guest today.
In this episode, we discuss:
- his personal experience with being diagnosed as bipolar
- the shortcomings of modern medicine's approach to treating mental illness
- how lithium affects the body and his journey through detox
- the importance of spiritual healing and somatic trauma therapy
- the connection between heavy metal toxicity and mental illness
- first steps to start healing from an empowered mind-body-spirit perspective
