Shownotes

In this episode of Wellness Reimagined, host Aanya sits down with integrative psychiatry provider Josh Waddell to challenge outdated ideas about mental health. Instead of asking “What’s wrong?”, Josh invites us to explore whysymptoms show up and what they are trying to communicate.

This conversation is for anyone who feels boxed in by labels or overwhelmed by one size fits all advice. You’ll learn how balance across the body, mind, environment, and spirit can change the way we understand anxiety, stress, and emotional well-being.

About the Guest:

Josh Waddell is an integrative psychiatry provider who focuses on whole person healing. His work emphasizes curiosity, balance, and understanding mental health beyond surface level diagnoses.

Key Takeaways:

  1. Mental health symptoms often reflect imbalance, not personal failure
  2. Anxiety can look both hyperactive and frozen, yet stem from the same activation
  3. Many behaviors are attempts to cope, not the core problem
  4. Biological and environmental factors are often overlooked contributors
  5. Healing works best when all four domains of balance are considered
