Kelly Brogan is a holistic psychiatrist.
Why am I writing about a holistic psychiatrist?
More specifically, Kelly Brogan is a women’s health holistic psychiatrist who doesn’t seem to believe that vaccines are safe, that vaccines work, or that vaccines are necessary.
They are.
“…we have been recently convinced through the promise of technology and corporate prowess that processed food is more reliable, nutritious, and beneficial. We’ve been convinced that Hamburger Helper is better for our families than a homemade Bolognese.”
Kelly Brogan
For some reason, she does not seem to be vegan, as one might expect. Not even vegetarian…
She does seem to believe that people with mental health conditions not should be treated with medication. In fact, she thinks the medications that are routinely used to treat common mental health conditions are behind some of the biggest tragedies happening today.
“The records also listed attention deficit hyperactivity disorder as one of his medical conditions” the proverbial smoking gun of every mass shooting in this country.”

And she was mentored, not by a psychiatrist, but by a doctor who pushed “a largely dietary treatment for cancer including an individualized organic diet, large amounts of supplements, and pancreatic enzymes,” a regimen that was actually studied and found to be harmful and reduced the quality of life for people with a deadly form of cancer.
Who Is Kelly Brogan?
Kelly Brogan is a holistic psychiatrist.
“Eastern wisdom tells us that when we think we know, we don’t. But when we admit ignorance, we achieve enlightenment. The most profound part of my departure from conventional medicine has been the depths of my surrender to all that we do not, cannot, and must not understand about the body and its experience. Humble awe and wonder are truly the only appropriate states for approaching the complexity of the human condition.”
Kelly Brogan
Do holistic psychiatrists use a different definition for the word humble?
“All suffering is caused by ignorance. People inflict pain on others in the selfish pursuit of their own happiness or satisfaction.”
Dalai Lama XIV
Kelly Brogan, a holistic psychiatrist, also pushes a lot of anti-vaccine talking points about epigenetics, germ theory denialism, MTHFR, and the need for detoxing from vaccines.
These beliefs can cause suffering if she can get others to believe them too, as can pushing the idea that babies shouldn’t get their hepatitis B vaccine or a vitamin K shot.
I’m actually surprised that she hasn’t written about RhoGAM. Maybe she hasn’t gotten around to it. But she doesn’t disappoint. She has shared an article on her Facebook page that claims that the RhoGham shot is just a “Big Pharma Profit Ploy.”
Kelly Brogan is a holistic psychiatrist that wants you to live a medication free life. I guess that could have made her some kind of psychoanalysist, but that doesn’t seem to be the route she went.
“In fact, ‘treatment’ with chemotherapy and radiation not only disrupts a complex process that needs to actually be supported, but also it induces secondary harm, both psychically and physiologically. When we interfere and war with the body, we keep the fight alive – you can’t win the battle against yourself.”
Kelly Brogan
Is she telling people to stop their cancer treatments?
Do folks get a lot of training in treating cancer in their psychiatry residency these days?
And she advises that you “think long and hard about vaccination.”
“As we discover more about the near infinite sophistication of your interconnected bodily systems, and the hyper-individuality of any cause and effect process resulting from a healthcare decision, the one-size-fits-all, indemnified vaccine program may begin to make less and less sense to you. Educate yourself before you make a choice that could change everything for you and your family. Trust your body. Invest in your immunity. And explore a mindset shift that offers you a fear-free way to understand health and wellness.”
Kelly Brogan
Shortly after talking about informed consent, she lets you know how she really feels about vaccines.
“Don’t buy into the lore, don’t make assumptions, and understand that the philosophical underpinnings of the vaccination program are predicated on an antiquated perspective: warring against and attempting to eradicate bad germs. Science has left that childlike notion in the dust, and so should we.”
Kelly Brogan
I think Dr. Brogan misspelled pseudoscience…
Why don’t you need to get your kids vaccinated and protected? Because Kelly Brogan has a “tremendous faith in the potential for the body to heal when naturally supported.”
Do you?
Will you during a measles outbreak?
“One of my favorite medical terms, anosognosia, means lack of awareness of a deficit. I have come to find this useful in description of so many of my colleagues who practice the medicine they were trained to practice without conscious acknowledgement of its gross limitations and even hazards.”
Kelly Brogan
Does anyone else think that it is wildly ironic that anosognosia is Kelly Brogan’s favorite medical term?
Psychiatry explains Kelly Brogan well.
Actually, it might be cognitive psychology that explains her actions.
Can a psychiatrist be suffering from the Dunning-Kruger effect?
I don’t know, but I’m pretty sure that a holistic psychiatrist can.
A history-making case report? Considering that case reports are the weakest type of scientific evidence, just above YouTube videos and articles on her website, that’s not likely.
Kelly Brogan is a holistic psychiatrist who has flirted with HIV denialism.
You can get educated about vaccines if you are on the fence, but it won’t be from Kelly Brogan, a women’s health holistic psychiatrist.
What to Know About Kelly Brogan
Kelly Brogan is a holistic psychiatrist who seems to charge folks a lot of money in private consultations to help them know that she has faith in their potential to heal themselves naturally – with her help.

Great info. Thanks.
Brogan is crazy.
So are you – CRAZY – if you think that vaccines and big pharma poison is somehow safe. Brogan woke up; many of you are still asleep. Science is NOT absolutism which you idiots preach a lot of.
Can someone, somehow call out the Joe Rogan podcast for peddling this nonsense? He gives this dangerous woman a platform to peddle her goods, and spread deadly misinformation, but he somehow gets a pass because “it’s just entertainment,” or “he doesn’t necessarily support the guests’ viewpoints, he just has ‘intelligent’ discussions.” This has to stop. He is promoting the spread of Kelly Brogan and scores of others that fit the same description, by allowing them on and presenting them to a tremendous and growing audience. I have lost someone that I love to this woman’s psychobabble. She actually encourages dancing as opposed to antidepressants. This is not entertainment, this is real. These are vulnerable human beings, in desperate states, and they’re being sold a dream that I can only imagine sounds like the answer to all of their prayers. I understand that no one can ban the spread of misinformation, or evangelical preachers, or phony hype men. That’s life unfortunately. But when one individual is solely responsible for giving a mouthpiece to so many despicable individuals that wish to take advantage of those among us who might not be able to sort out the truth from the garbage, can’t we expose him? Like I said, I have literally lost one of the most important people in my life over this. When you live with real mental illness, people like this can prove deadly, and in this case they did. That won’t ever change, but it’s time some serious attention needs to be paid to Joe Rogan’s podcast, because it has grown into a juggernaut, with a fanbase that believes every piece of nonsense that comes out of it. I’m not sure how many people are aware that this is going on.
Hey Leo, time to start some critical thinking. If you don’t like Joe Rogan why do you listen? Are you a bought and paid for Big Pharma troll? I’d say so.
What gives you the right to do an online assault on a dedicated health practitioner just because her views differ from yours? Talk about arrogant and sick! Why do alternative perspectives scare you so much? Talk about insecure! We are all adults, and can make our own informed choices based on having as much good info as possible. No one assigned you to be the determiners of what constitutes good information. That is up to us to decide. Grow up!
Except listening to someone like Brogan isn’t informed, she’s peddling misinformation at dangerous levels.
POS writer, Vincent Iannelli the loser.
