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?

In this episode, Dr Vignesh shares his thoughts on why this is happening and how we can create a change.  The topics discussed in this episode are:  The disparity between health consciousness in men and women Male perspective of Health and Illness An evolutionary perspective of communication in men and women Importance of Communication, Vulnerability and Safe Spaces  The role of upbringing and environment  Importance of dealing with “inner loneliness”  Addictions and other unhealthy coping mechanisms  Connection between mental health and physical health  If you are interested in doing one on one ayurvedic consultation with Dr Vignesh Devraj please find the details in this link -  https://calendly.com/drvignesh/30-minute-session-with-dr-vignesh-devraj-md-ay-ist If you are economically challenged, please use the form provided to request a free Ayurvedic consultation here.  (Link - https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSd29nHcrC1RssR-6WAqWCWQWKKJo7nGcEm8ITEl2-ErcnfVEg/viewform ) 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.
