Medicated teen to kitchen queen | Brooke Siem #473
Welcome to A2 The Show! In this riveting episode, we dive deep with Brooke Siem, a Food Network "Chopped" Champion and author of the groundbreaking memoir, "MAY CAUSE SIDE EFFECTS." As one of the first teens medicated with antidepressants, Brooke explores her journey of self-discovery off meds, and the realities of antidepressant withdrawal. Beyond her mental health journey, Brooke, an award-winning chef, dishes on the highs and lows of high-end kitchens and the balance she finds in cooking. Plus, she offers insights on the mental health industry's drug-centered approach and the potential pitfalls of medicating without sufficient research. Whether you're here for the mental health insights or the culinary tales, Brooke's story is a must-listen. Don't miss out, and yes, our in-person interviews come with snacks!
