    Honest Health with Jeffrey Burke S03 E13 - The Importance of Mental Health: A Personal Journey

    Send a text In our last episode, as part of “The Functional Mushroom Series,” host Jeffrey Burke was joined by famed Herbalist and mushroom-forager” Bill Chioffi to discuss the amazing Maitake Mushroom. As they were chatting, they hit upon the importance of kindness and just being there for family and friends. They called it the “power of presence.” Jeffrey expands on that theme today with a powerful and deeply personal account of overcoming his own mental health challenges, breaking the stigma associated with mental health problems, signs to look for, and the importance of being there for family and friends.  #Health #HealthTalk #HonestHealth #JeffreyBurke #DrJeffreyBurke #JonTheAnnouncer #HealthPodcast #Podcast #NaturalProducts #HerbalMedicine #KokoraLife #WholeFoodsMagazine #Nammex
