285. How to Stop the Sugar-Anxiety Feedback Loop with Dr. Ellen Vora [Best Of]

Not eating the right foods for our unique bodies creates anxiety. This anxiety shows up as a felt sense of anxiety AND also “needing something more” to eat but not knowing what that is or a general feeling of being unsatisfied with what they just ate.

To help us go into depth and teach us about this sugar-anxiety feedback loop, I’ve invited a holistic psychiatrist and my friend Dr. Ellen Vora onto the show. In this episode, we will discuss:

• Real and false anxiety
• How and why sugar creates anxiety
• Clean eating versus nutrient-dense foods
• Dr. Vora’s top foods to add in for reducing anxiety and sugar in one’s diet
• Caffeine’s role in anxiety and how to end your coffee habit

 
Mentioned in this episode:

• Read Dr. Vora's book, The Anatomy of Anxiety
• Ali’s Breakfast Experiment
