Fresh Start with Dr. David

  • Summary

  • ​The ”​Fresh Start with Dr. David​”​ Podcast Fresh Start with Dr. David (Refresh, Reset, Reboot, & Rejuvenate Your Mind, Spirit, Soul and Psyche) The ”Fresh Start with Dr. David” Podcast is a podcast where I introduce and chat about a variety of topics related to mental health and wellness, psychiatry, medicine, health, wellness, diet, nutrition, life, life direction, life purpose, self improvement, self development, self awareness, insight, personal growth, personal and professional development and evolution, technology, American living and a host of other topics. During ”Fresh Start with Dr. David” Podcasts, I share my approaches to mental health and wellness, the concepts that I use across my practices, and topics of interests from my current books and any upcoming books. My reason for starting the ”Fresh Start with Dr. David” Podcast is my firm belief that the current mental health and wellness system in the United States is really not a system. And, It’s BROKEN. It’s a group of frequently unaligned and unconnected parts that usually fail to synchronize, leaving patients lost, confused and exasperated. In addition, unfortunately, our healthcare system & our mental health system are so married to the pharmaceutical industry that it’s practically impossible to separate them from one another. Our healthcare and mental health care systems are generally focused upon addressing the symptoms of problems, conditions & disorders, but they often fail to address the underlying root causes of those symptoms, which also frustrates and exasperates patients. In our mental health realm, patients are often prescribed medications that are not only tolerance building & habit forming, but directly & quickly lead to dependence & addiction, and unwanted side effects. In many cases, these patients are never informed about the potential of these medications to lead to tolerance, habit formation, dependence & addiction. Physicians are first asked to ”Do No Harm”, then tasked to ”Do Good.” However, when you marry that with industries (insurance companies, pharmaceutical companies, etc.) whose primary goals are profit, then it leads to a number of conflicts of interest that the healthcare industry does not seem to want to address. In the present age, it seems to lead to the belief and policies that support it that the answer to all of life’s problems is to simply take a pill. I don’t believe that people need more pills. I believe that people need better answers and real solutions that get to the root causes of their problems & symptoms. I also believe that the medical education & training systems in America are broken, to the detriment of patients. I believe that many children, adolescents & young adults are not receiving the basics & foundations to be resilient in an ever complex & competitive world that increasingly requires more & more in order for resilience & success to be created. Finally, I believe that in many ways humanity needs to return to the basics of human life & decency, including the concepts, characteristics, traits, values, beliefs & foundational principles that define the best of who we are as a species.

    Fresh Start with Dr David - Season 3 - Episode 16 - Personal Growth & Transformation with World Renowned Dermatologist, Dr. Allen Lycka (Part 1)

    Good afternoon, this is Dr. David back with a fresh episode of the Fresh Start with Dr. David podcast. I hope everybody's been doing well. I don't know about you, but here in the state of Georgia, city of Atlanta, we've had some interesting weather-related changes. It went from being extremely hot to extremely rainy, and now fall just came in. It doesn't usually happen this way, but it's interesting. And if you know me, if you've listened to any of the episodes of the Fresh Start with Dr. David podcast, you know that I believe in working through the energy of the seasons. And so, as you know, fall is the season of harvest.

    So now is the time of the year, if you haven't already thought about it, thinking about harvesting or reaping the benefits of everything you've been sowing throughout the year. Right. So this is the time for your harvest. So if you haven't done so already, start planning and doing the harvest. And what that means is you're starting to gather together everything that you've been collecting and creating throughout the year. So that means if you've been working on stuff, creating stuff, now is the time to start executing it, activating it, realizing it, transforming it, and all those kind of things. So just keep in mind, the more that you do in tandem and in synchronization with the seasons, the better off you're going to be. And fall is the season of harvest. So do everything that you can to harvest everything from the seeds that you planted this past spring.

    And with that, we're going to jump into today's episode. I've got such an exciting guest for you guys. I really am really so impressed when they reached out to me about having him as a guest. I said, oh my God, this is incredible. So I've got a very, very, very exciting guest today. You know, he's a, gosh, what's the word to describe it? A Michelangelo. He's one of these guys who just does everything and everything he touches turns to gold. And so I'm so excited to have him. So without further ado, I'd like to introduce Dr. Allen Lycka. Welcome to the show, Dr. Lycka.

    Dr. Allen Lycka shares his incredible journey from being misdiagnosed with ALS to discovering he had chronic Lyme disease. This revelation not only saved his life but also transformed his career path. From a world-renowned cosmetic dermatologist, Dr. Lycka is now a thriving leader in personal and professional growth, focusing on lifestyle management and holistic health. He discusses the importance of forgiveness, overcoming adversity, and the power of positivity. Join us as we delve into his inspiring story and explore the profound impact of holistic approaches in medicine.
