In this powerful episode of Overcome: A Mental Health Podcast, host Travis White sits down with Dr. Stephan Neff — a retired anesthesiologist, functional medicine advocate, and trauma survivor — for a raw, honest conversation about healing from the inside out.
After surviving a violent gang assault at age 14, Stephan spent decades living with undiagnosed PTSD and using alcohol as a coping mechanism. His life began to change when he embraced functional medicine, healing nutrition, and radical self-compassion.
Stephan shares how nutrition became the foundation for his physical, emotional, and mental recovery — and why understanding your body’s needs is crucial for overcoming trauma, anxiety, and addiction. This conversation is packed with real talk, science-backed insights, and practical tips on how to reclaim your well-being through small, sustainable lifestyle changes.
