About Mental Health, RECLAIMED. with Dr. Azi Jankovic and Friends

I’m Dr. Azi Jankovic, mental health educator, researcher, wellness innovator, and author. My work began with a simple question: What actually helps people thrive? That question has led me to explore the science connecting mental health, metabolic health, nutrition, the gut microbiome, sleep, movement, stress, relationships, and purpose. On this podcast, we take the research out of the journals and bring it into real life. I speak with leading thinkers, challenge outdated assumptions about wellness, and explore evidence-informed strategies for supporting the

   The 5-Minute Shift: Ep. 104 The USC Study Helping Students to Reclaim Their Mental Health

   This week on Mental Health Reclaimed, I’m joined by two inspiring educators from the University of Southern California: Dr. Julie Loppacher, Director of the Kortschak Center for Learning and Creativity, and Dr. Harly Ramsey, Associate Director of the Engineering in Society Program. In this conversation, we explore how just five intentional minutes a day—through journaling, breathing, tapping, and cognitive reappraisal—can rewire the brain for calm, clarity, and confidence. We dive into the culture of pressure in higher education, the science of self-regulation, and why true well-being begins with awareness, not achievement. Whether you’re a student, educator, or lifelong learner, this episode reminds you that healing and resilience can begin with something simple: five mindful minutes at a time. ✨ Listen now to reclaim your calm, your focus, and your mental health, one small shift at a time.

   From Food Addiction to Freedom: EP 103: Lilach Bullock's Self Love Journey Losing the Weight and Gaining Emotional Freedom

   This week I’m joined by my dear friend Lila Bullock, a business strategist turned wellness inspiration, who shed 110 pounds after 52 years of struggle with food and self-image. Through the power of self-love and lifestyle transformation, she not only changed her body but reclaimed her emotional and mental health. In this conversation, Lila and I get real about food addiction, the lies we’ve been sold by diet culture, and how sugar and processed foods affect both physical and mental wellbeing. We share our parallel journeys of transformation—hers in releasing weight and pain, mine in reclaiming my mental health—and explore what it takes to create lasting change. If you’ve ever wondered whether real transformation is possible for you, this episode is proof that it is. ✨ Links and Resources Dr. Azi Jankovic: azijankovic.com Mental Health Reclaimed - book: Amazon (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0D46NDV3G) | Barnes & Noble OR - Grab your free chapters here :) (https://mental-health-reclaimed.kit.com/chapters) Social Media - Azi: Instagram (https://www.instagram.com/dr.azi.jankovic/) Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/dr.azi.jankovic/ ⁠) Linkedin (https://www.linkedin.com/in/azijankovic/) TODAYS GUEST: Lilach's Website: ⁠escapethedietprison.com⁠ (https://escapethedietprison.com)

   Transformational Wellbeing: EP 102 with Daniel Packard

   Welcome back to Mental Health Reclaimed, the podcast where we challenge the status quo and uncover what actually works in mental health and wellbeing. Today’s guest is Daniel Packard, mechanical engineer and CEO of Full Liberation Technology, whose revolutionary system promises fast, lasting freedom from what he calls “The Funky Five”: anxiety, perfectionism, procrastination, people-pleasing, and low confidence. After 8 years and over $1 million in R&D, his team reverse-engineered a body-based approach that’s helping people break free permanently—not just manage symptoms. In this episode, we unpack: Why 40% of people who seek mental health help never improve, and what we can do about it. The real reason you might still be stuck, despite all the therapy, books and apps. The hidden power of your nervous system and how to restore its true baseline. Why Daniel believes innovation, not just inspiration, is the missing piece in the mental health industry. How to stop chasing temporary fixes and reclaim lasting results Whether you’re new to healing or deep in the journey, this conversation offers fresh hope, grounded insights, and a radically different roadmap to change.
