This is a step we must take. I have never seen anxiety like I have in the past few years and it is going to get worse until we move beyond the “just deal with it” paradigm and move to a heal it, grow from it and thrive from it paradigm. That’s why I cannot wait for you to listen to this episode with The Anxiety MD Dr Russ Kennedy. He is taking a body first approach to anxiety and actually healing it for good.

Dr Russell Kennedy is a physician, neuroscience expert, somatic intuitive, certified yoga instructor, meditation teacher, and professional stand-up comedian—someone who personally struggled with crippling anxiety for decades before finally finding true healing. Now, he is dedicated to guiding others through non-traditional treatments for anxiety, challenging the effectiveness of conventional methods that have long failed to provide lasting relief.

Using a unique combination of neuroscience, somatic work, and psychedelics, he has developed a transformative approach to understanding and healing anxiety—one that has reshaped both his own life and the lives of his patients. Instead of letting anxiety dictate one’s existence, he empowers individuals to take full control, offering a path to lasting resilience and freedom from the relentless grip of fear and overwhelm.
