164 – Natural Therapies for Depression and Anxiety – My Interview with Ross Pelton

It is now estimated that 11% of Americans are taking antidepressants (over 30 million) and millions more are taking benzodiazepines for anxiety. These drugs have serious side effects, are very addictive, and in most cases are inappropriate therapy.

In this interview with natural pharmacist Ross Pelton, we will give you an introduction to natural alternatives for depression and anxiety.
