In this powerful testimonial episode, Dr. Holly Carling and Alicia share the story of a woman who had reached a breaking point. She was exhausted, emotionally numb, unable to sleep, and felt disconnected from joy and meaning in her life. After trying conventional medications without relief, she turned to holistic care and experienced profound changes in a short period of time. Dr. Carling and Alicia explore what this story reveals about the true roots of what is often labeled as "depression." They discuss how emotional fatigue, nutrient depletion, lack of sleep, and chronic stress can drain the body's ability to produce healthy brain chemistry. Dr. Carling explains how nutrition, acupuncture, rest, and compassionate care help the body and mind heal together. This episode is a reminder that healing is possible when we treat the whole person and address the underlying mechanisms, not just the symptoms.
