Decoding a Sane Mind is a podcast about building trust between physicians and their current and future patients — educating patients through anecdotes, encouraging those on the fence to seek treatment, giving hope to listeners navigating mental health, and empowering them to self-advocate by letting them meet a provider before they ever step into the office. The show also serves the guest physician: it introduces them more deeply to existing and new referral sources and invites those referral sources on as co-hosts to deepen those relationships.
