Episode 1: At the starting line with my psychiatrist, triathlete Jada Butler

39m · Published 01 Dec 17:58

We come out of the gates swinging in the debut episode, by taking a sledgehammer to the stigma surrounding mental illness and addiction.

Host Christopher Heimerman, a recovering alcoholic, shares his story of struggling to come to grips with his depression and anxiety in his teen years, and the steep step of finally getting help.

Today, he sees a therapist and a psychiatrist - in fact, they're the same person: Jada Butler. She joins the program to talk about breaking through the stigma to get help, addressing the epidemic of toxic masculinity, and her favorite medicine to prescribe: exercise. She's a Boston Marathon qualifier, a 12-time marathoner and a triathlete. Oh, and she's a licensed personal trainer.
