Finding Creative Space Inside Medicine (with Dr. Alice Lee)

What happens when a doctor’s inner artist collides with a system built on protocols, perfection, and pharmaceutical-first solutions? In this episode, Dr. Alice Lee, a holistic and integrative psychiatrist, joins us for a powerful conversation about creative freedom inside medicine, and what it takes to practice with humanity, curiosity, and courage. Dr. Lee shares her personal journey: from wanting to become a writer, to entering psychiatry, to her own experience with Zoloft, medication withdrawal, and the moment she realized the medical system wasn’t teaching clinicians how to safely come off certain medications. That turning point led her toward functional medicine, nutrition-based approaches, and tools like EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique), all with one core goal: helping patients become free, not dependent. We also discuss: The tension between evidence-based rules and real-life complexity Why medical training can discourage humility, questions, and creativity How physicians can begin integrating holistic approaches (without going “all-in” overnight) The role of fear, power, and profit in shaping modern healthcare What “creative freedom” looks like for doctors and patients Why the next generation of medicine could produce happier doctors, and better outcomes If you’re a physician, clinician, therapist, or someone navigating mental health treatment, this conversation offers a grounded, honest look at what’s possible when medicine makes room for the human spirit.
