Meet your host

Hi, I’m Dr. Phi Owusu, physician, researcher, advocate, and creator of The Transformed Minds podcast.

Through conversations grounded in evidence, personal stories, and compassion, I explore mental health, addiction, and healing. My goal is to make complex topics more accessible, challenge stigma, and create room for meaningful change.

The podcast is also a platform for advocacy—bringing research and lived experience into conversations with legislators and policymakers about mental health and addiction care.
