Zak Williams is CEO and founder of neurotransmitter health company PYM , and is passionate about developing products for supporting optimal mental wellness and alleviating anxiety. He and Bridget sit down to talk about the concept of mental hygiene vs. mental health, dealing with the suicide of a loved one, not knowing how to manage depression and anxiety, discovering mental health advocacy, realizing that if you’re seeking to truly heal through service you have to take care of yourself, exploring nutrition for mental well being, and his goal to expand the toolkit to help people manage their mental health. They discuss his company PYM, the quick jump to medicate when there should be a gradient and spectrum of care, why we need research around diet, exercise, sunlight, sleep, and connection - supporting them as factors in our mental well being and care, how men are more resistant to talking about depression and mental health, why we need to develop resilience in our communities so that we can better manage stress, and why knowing his life's mission is his path to happiness.
