The Anatomy of Anxiety with Ellen Vora, MD

Ellen Vora, MD a holistic psychiatrist, acupuncturist, and yoga teacher on understanding and overcoming the body's fear response. She takes a functional medicine approach to mental health—considering the whole person and addressing imbalance at the root.  She differentiates between “true” and “false” anxiety. “False” doesn’t mean it’s not real or valid. It means it’s preventable.  This “true anxiety” is a signal that something else is out of balance—in our lives, in our relationships, in the world. True anxiety serves as our inner compass, helping us recalibrate when we’re feeling lost.  SOME KEY POINTS Why you should rethink your relationship with caffeine and alcohol How managing your blood sugar level can significantly improve the symptoms anxiety  What to eat for better mental health The meaning and invaluable importance of feeling all our feelings and the benefits of crying  And so much more.  Instead of asking, How can I stop feeling so anxious, we should be asking, What is my anxiety telling me?     GET HER BOOK The Anatomy of Anxiety: Understanding and Overcoming the Body's Fear Response   SUPPORT THE SHOW, SHOW YOUR LOVE Become a patron on Patreon.com and join 18 exisiting memebers who contribute $92 towards our monthly goal of $500.  Make a one-time donation in any amount to say “Thank you!” Rate or write a review   FULL SHOW NOTES www.authenticparenting.com/podcast    WORK WITH ME I would be thrilled to support you in your parenting journey!
