In this episode, Dr. Jannine Krause sits down with Dr. Will Van Derveer, a global leader in integrative psychiatry, to explore how he’s transforming mental health care by addressing the root causes of psychological suffering. Frustrated with the limitations of conventional psychiatric practices, Dr. Van Derveer has pioneered holistic approaches that tackle conditions like depression, anxiety, and insomnia through diet, lifestyle, mindfulness, gut health, and hormone balance.
We discuss his groundbreaking work with the Integrative Psychiatry Institute, where he trains psychiatrists and other medical health practitioners in advanced treatments, including MDMA- and ketamine-assisted psychotherapy. Dr. Van Derveer also shares insights from over two decades of blending natural and evidence-based methods, drawing on his expertise in shamanism, EMDR, somatic experiencing, internal family systems, cognitive behavioral therapy, and hypnosis.
This conversation is a must-listen for anyone curious about the future of mental health care and the power of integrative approaches to achieve true well-being.
