Why A Nervous System Reset Beats A One Size Diagnosis with Miriam Putnam

Send us Fan Mail

A mental health “diagnosis” can be subjective, but the consequences are real and sometimes irreversible. We talk with Miriam Putnam, a holistic mental health advocate, board-certified wellness coach, and freedom from stress counselor, about what she saw firsthand inside a system that often defaults to labels and pharmaceuticals even when people are begging for deeper answers. If you’ve ever wondered why the standard path can feel like trial-and-error, you’ll relate to this conversation.

We get specific about what holistic mental health can mean in practice: looking at the body before assuming the mind is broken. We discuss comprehensive blood tests, vitamin and mineral status, vitamin D, hormones, liver stress, hidden infections, sleep quality, hydration, and inflammation and how these can drive anxiety, low mood, brain fog, and burnout. We also share why patient advocacy matters, how to push for better care, and why you always have the right to choose a different provider when something doesn’t feel right.

From there, Miriam explains her “reset and rise” work with entrepreneurs and professionals who hit a wall after loss, relationship rupture, business pressure, or relentless stress loops. We talk about the “monkey brain,” long-term change versus short-lived fixes, and what it takes to rebuild clarity, peace of mind, and forward motion.
