This is a brief introduction to diet and brain health with special guest Linda Taylor. We could spend many episodes on diet and brain health, however, this is a brief episode full of helpful tips and key words to help listeners have a starting point for their own research and exploration into the topic.
In this episode, I'll briefly examine a few research studies examining the brain and gut health. I also look at a few ways one could potentially improve their gut health.
In this episode, we'll explore how our behaviors can influence how our genes are expressed (epigenetics) and how adaption helps us survive. Tune in for an interview with Dr. Stephen Hollon as he discusses adaption with regard to depression, medications, and cognitive behavioral therapy.
This episode is a bit longer than previous episodes; I just couldn't edit too much of the interview out; Dr. Hollon has some professional insight as well as personal perspectives.
Negative thought patterns can be crippling for many people, disrupting their lives and relationships. Some folks struggle with trying to figure out a way to stop their brain from getting in these negative thought loops. In this episode, I’m going to talk about the brain and negative thought patterns; what they are and how to recognize when we are stuck in the thought loop
This is the final episode in the first miniseries that was an Introduction to Mental Health. In this episode, I discuss my perception of mental health and medications as a professional counselor. I also have insight from Dr. Steven Hollon, a researcher from Vanderbilt University in Nashville TN. Dr. Hollon's portion is an excerpt from a recent interview I did with him about the brain and how it adapts to survive. The full interview will be published in my miniseries called The Brain and Mental Health and the episode will be called "The Brain and Adaption". So be sure to hit Follow so you won't miss Dr. Hollon's interview along with some other educational and interesting episodes. Until then, I wish you peace and good mental health.
In this episode, I discuss issues that some clients present in session, as well as potential origins of the development of these issues; a couple of examples include (1) high levels of anxiety due to control and predict tendencies for the illusion of emotional safety and (2) feeling "not good enough" for one's family and friend group. I briefly give my opinion on why therapy works for some people and why not for others.
Happy Listening:)
I wish you Peace and Good Mental Health

Come along with me and a couple of friends as we discuss mental health at a campground in the woods (with a little Batman thrown in:)
Peace and Good Mental Health
In this episode, I'll explore mental health diagnosis by discussing the different types of codes associated with diagnosis and third-party billing. Although not the most exciting topic, the goal of this episode is to help you understand the process of diagnosis as well as some of the benefits. It is also my hope that you will become more informed about the topic and, should you seek counseling, the knowledge to develop your own questions for the mental health provider.
This is the second episode in mini-series 1 (Basic Information about therapy)
I will address the different types of mental health providers as well as the various environments in which counseling / therapy takes place.
I wish you peace and good mental health

In this pilot episode, Dr. Suzie Dukic will introduce the podcast.
I created this podcast because I am passionate about good mental health. Mental health interacts with all facets of our lives. I want to bring you helpful information and inspire YOU to embrace Yourself and take care of your mental health – You deserve it!
The podcast will be structured in a mini-series format; each series addressing a specific topic. Some of the future topics include the brain and mental health; what’s the brain got to do with it? Steps to Healthy Relationships; Head Meds/Medications, Good Mental Health in Children, and Good Mental health with aging. These are just a few of what is to come.
However, first I am going to address some basic stuff about therapy and mental health, probably not as interesting as some of the other topics, but I think it’s necessary to put the information out there.
I wish you Peace and Good Mental Health!
