Stress and nutrition are more connected than you might think. 🧠

Nutrients like L-theanine and magnesium play an important role in supporting your body’s response to stress. Combined with mindfulness, movement, and meditation, nutrition can be a powerful part of your mental wellbeing routine.

At PYM, we believe supporting your mental health starts with supporting your body.

Listen to our full World Mental Health Day episode of The Prepare Your Mind Podcast with co-founder @zakpym on turning mental health advocacy into action. Watch on YouTube via the link in bio.

If you're caring for someone you love through illness, your own well-being matters too.

In this clip, Zak Williams (@zakpym), co-founder and President of PYM, mental health advocate, and son of Robin Williams, shares his advice for anyone supporting a loved one with a dementia condition like the Lewy body dementia his father had: take care of yourself while you're caregiving.

Zak is candid that for years he didn't follow that advice himself. Grieving the loss of his dad, he went through a long stretch of personal suffering before he came to that insight and began his own psychological and addiction recovery.

Clinical psychologist and addiction scientist Dr. Suzette Glasner sits down with Zak on The Dr. Suzette Glasner Podcast to talk about grief, recovery, and finding purpose in the aftermath of loss.

The American Film Association will honor internationally acclaimed mental health advocate, bestselling author, and award-winning filmmaker Kevin Hines with its 2026 Impact Award at the organization’s inaugural gala on November 8, 2026, at The Beverly Hilton.

More than two decades ago, Kevin survived a suicide attempt from the Golden Gate Bridge. Since then, he has transformed his experience into a lifelong mission to break the silence surrounding mental health, challenge stigma, foster compassion, and affirm that recovery is possible and every life is worth living.

Through his advocacy, writing, and filmmaking, Kevin demonstrates storytelling’s power to inspire meaningful change. His latest documentary, Death Bridge, directed by Kevin and executive produced by Logan Paul, Zak Williams, Tay Lautner, Taylor Lautner, Frank Kilpatrick, and Dan Martell, chronicles the courage, heartbreak, and advocacy behind efforts to prevent suicide at the Golden Gate Bridge. The film is produced by Kevin, Margaret Hines, David Covington, Mart Simon, and Sean A. Marin.
The Impact Award recognizes individuals whose contributions extend beyond their profession and leave an enduring mark on humanity. Kevin exemplifies that standard through a lifetime dedicated to saving lives, advancing mental health awareness, and helping others find renewed purpose.
Zak Williams, mental health advocate, entrepreneur, producer, and son of Robin Williams, will present Kevin with the award.

The gala will bring together leaders from the entertainment, advocacy, and philanthropic communities for an evening celebrating the transformative power of film, the resilience of the human spirit, and Kevin’s commitment to helping others live theirs.

What if supporting your mental health started with supporting your nutrition?

After navigating grief, anxiety, and depression, PYM co-founder @zakpym discovered firsthand the powerful connection between nutrition and mental wellbeing.
Initially skeptical, Zak began exploring how essential nutrients like magnesium and amino acids, including GABA, glycine, and taurine, play a role in supporting brain health, mood, and stress resilience.

What started as a personal journey to improve his own mental health ultimately became a mission to help others do the same.

That’s why Zak and his wife, @heyoliviajune created PYM (Prepare Your Mind): to make science-backed nutritional support for mental wellbeing more accessible and help people build a stronger foundation of resilience from within.

Because taking care of our mental health means taking care of our bodies, too.

Yesterday was World Mental Health Day, and to honor it, we released a special episode of the Prepare Your Mind Podcast with our co-founder, @zakpym

PYM was born from Zak’s lived experience navigating grief, anxiety, and depression, and discovering the powerful role nutrition can play in supporting mental wellbeing. But at its core, PYM was built on the belief that we can turn our most challenging experiences into something that supports others.

While our mission is to make nutritional support for mental wellbeing more accessible, PYM has always been about more than products. It’s about turning pain into purpose, breaking the stigma around mental health, and helping others build a foundation of resilience.

We are thrilled to announce that Zak Williams is joining the Board of Directors of the National Center for Victims of Internet and Cyber Exploitation (NCVIC).

Zak is the CEO and co-founder of @youcanpym, a neurotransmitter health company, and a leading voice in the mental health advocacy space. Following the death of his father, Robin Williams, Zak channeled personal grief into public purpose — speaking openly about his own journey through anxiety and depression and working to dismantle the stigma around mental health. He has served as Chairman of Bring Change to Mind, as a US trustee for United for Global Mental Health, and as an advisor to organizations including Project Healthy Minds and Inseparable.

That work has particular significance for our mission. For victims of online exploitation, the harm can reach into every part of life, affecting relationships, livelihoods, as well as their physical safety. At NCVIC, Zak will bring his experience in advocacy, nonprofit leadership, and entrepreneurship to our work protecting victims and building stronger systems of accountability for online abuse. We’re grateful to have his perspective and commitment as we help survivors reclaim control over their lives.

Please welcome Zak Williams to the show!! @zakpym is the son of the late great actor, comedian, and icon Robin Williams. Someone who brought a lot of joy and healing into this world.

I see therapy as healing. And in many ways, Robin’s work was therapy for millions of people.

We talked about the impact of his dad’s legacy, Zak’s own mental health journey, and even got Zak to rank his favorite movies of his dad’s ;)

The episode is live now wherever you get your podcasts. Enjoy!
