I’m Arwen Podesta MD, a functional psychiatry doctor focused on uncovering the root causes of mental health symptoms—not just managing them.

This channel is dedicated to integrative, evidence-based approaches to mental health that connect the brain, body, and nervous system. We’ll talk about functional psychiatry, trauma and stress physiology, nutrition and brain health, inflammation, hormones, sleep, and practical tools that support resilience and emotional balance.

If you’re feeling stuck, curious about a more holistic approach to mental health, or a clinician looking to expand your perspective, you’re in the right place. My goal is to make complex mental health science understandable, empowering, and usable in everyday life.

Subscribe for thoughtful conversations, practical education, and a more complete way of understanding mental health.
