What happens when a psychiatrist blends science, spirituality, and systems thinking to reshape how we view mental health?

In this transformative conversation, host Nick Houpt sits down with Dr. Desh, an award-winning, triple-board-certified psychiatrist and founder of Balanced Wellbeing LLC, to explore what it truly means to live a Life Well Balanced. Drawing from personal experience, clinical wisdom, and decades of work in psychiatric care, Dr. Desh offers a refreshing, human-first approach to healing.

In this episode, we unpack:

• Why balance, not perfection, is the foundation of mental wellness
• How ego, identity, and self-labeling impact our mental and emotional health
• The difference between mindfulness and heartfulness
• Why emotions like anger and attachment aren't "bad", they’re misunderstood tools
• The role of awareness in everyday well-being
• How therapy and psychiatry work together (and how he trains teams to lead with empathy)

This episode isn’t just about managing symptoms; it’s about understanding your mind, reconnecting with your core self, and making peace with the present moment.

Whether you're a mental health professional, a caregiver, or someone on your own healing journey, this conversation will leave you feeling grounded and empowered.
