In the day and age where Data is the new superpower, it’s also the new poison. The abundance of knowledge available online is more like an overpowering echo from fear mongers who gain  from our lack of understanding. When you find disconnected answers online, your mind operates through negative bias filtering the facts without looking at the entire picture in detail. This soon leads to overthinking and minimizes opportunities into a depressive dead end. We call this phenomenon Google anxiety. 

Tune into this week’s episode to understand more about Google Anxiety and how it affects your treatment in the long run.

A couple of topics discussed in this episode are:

• What is Google Anxiety?

• Impact of Information Overload 

• Negative Bias and Worst-Case Scenarios 

• The Role of Expert Opinion 

• Placebo and Nocebo Effects 

• Maintaining Hope and Optimism

•  Building Trust with Healthcare Providers 

• Steps to Prevent Google Anxiety

BALANCE THE MIGHTY VATA - ONLINE COURSE NOW AVAILABLE 

What makes Ayurveda unique in its treatment approach is its practical wisdom on the concept of Vata. Vata is responsible for Prana - the life energy, nervous system - the master panel of our body, and our emotions. In Ayurveda, it is mentioned that controlling Vata is the most difficult part of healing and recovery. Recently I have recorded a workshop on - Balancing The Mighty Vata which has over 6 hrs of content, with notes filled with practical inputs that can be integrated into our life.
