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
