I’m really excited about having my friend Dr. Allen Novian back on the podcast. Allen is a brilliant psychotherapist and a beautiful human being. In this episode, we discuss toxic masculinity and how it contributes to depression and other physical and psychological struggles. After exploring the nature of toxic masculinity, we discuss how to cultivate a healthy masculinity centered around physical health, love and meaning. We dig into many topics including the importance of sleep, psychoneuroimmunology, nutrition, and the work of Viktor Frankl and Dan Siegel.
