Is Birth Control a Cause of Anxiety?

This week, Aleen is joined by Dr. Ellen Vora, who is a holistic and board-certified psychiatrist, medical acupuncturist, yoga teacher and author of the new book The Anatomy of Anxiety: Understanding and Overcoming the Body's Fear Response. Dr. Vora is here to help us break down why we’re always anxious, explain *wtf* anxiety actually is and how to identify the root cause. Throughout the conversation, Dr. Vora explains her functional approach to mental health and how our diets, screen time, and quality of sleep can impact our anxiety. She also shares that healing anxiety from a holistic approach may work for people who find that medication does not. We wrap up with sharing ways to help soothe our anxious thoughts and Dr. Vora gives us tips on how to climb out of our “anxious pandemic holes”.
