In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Tracy McCarthy, board-certified functional psychiatrist to discuss the intricacies of mental health in today's world. She eventually sidestepped conventional psychiatry after experiencing frustration with the limitations of the practice, and is now dedicated towards root-cause medicine.

She is the creator of the Natural Mood Solution Online Program, the founder and Medical Director of Dr. Tracy McCarthy Functional Medicine, and is highly committed to helping adults suffering from mental health concerns such as depression, anxiety, and more. However, unlike the conventional approach, she looks at the body/brain holistically and functionally, and works with patients to uncover the real story behind their symptoms. 

Most mental health challenges accompany symptoms such as brain fog, fatigue, digestive issues, hormonal imbalances, etc., and her unique approach focuses on tackling these underlying issues such as microbiome imbalances, nutrient deficiencies, and toxin exposures. Her goal is to educate her patients and people on how inflammation is highly connected to our mental health, known disorders, and mood disturbances.
