The Dr. Leaf Show

We all know those people that are always on the go: they never seem to rest, they are always busy doing something and they seem to accomplish so much. Perhaps you are one of those people! But did you know that this could also be a sign of high-functioning anxiety? In this podcast, I speak to therapist and licensed counselor Nancy Jane Smith about the signs and symptoms of high-functioning anxiety and how to overcome it, as well as how to deal with perfectionism, people-pleasing and avoid burnout. High functioning anxiety is a form of anxiety that you won’t get diagnosed with, but it is similar to generalized anxiety, and also involves gastro symptoms, headaches, panic attacks, racing thoughts and so on. It is essentially a way of coping that pushes you harder and faster, which often leads to perfectionism, people-pleasing and burnout. On the outside everything may look great, but, on the inside, everything is falling apart, which is why high functioning anxiety is so hard to recognize. In fact, a lot of people aren’t aware that you don’t have to live with this kind of “hustle, hustle, hustle” mentality this because they do not share how they feel with the people in their lives.  Special offer from this week's sponsor: -Thrive Market: Try Thrive Market today and become a member risk-free!

We are coming face to face with the pervasive effects of systematic racism in our society, and its terrible human toll. 2020 has not been “our year”...or perhaps it has, but just not in the way we expected it?  In this episode I spoke to grief expert and therapist Claire Bidwell Smith about how grief is a process that helps us face and deal with loss, how this will look different for everyone, how unresolved grief can cause anxiety and affect our mental health, how to help our children deal with grief and loss, and how grief is a normal part of life and integral to the healing process. We also discus how to deal with the loss of a job, a routine, financial security and more!Special offers from our sponsors:  Blinkist (my favorite reading app): To get your free week on Blinkist AND 25% off your subscription see: https://www.blinkist.com/nc/partners/cleaning-up-the-mental-mess  NOOM (the best healthy habit company): For your NOOM special offer see: https://noom.com/drleaf   Podcast Highlights 2:13 How losing her parents to cancer motivated Claire to help others deal with grief 7:00 What is grief, and is it a progression? 9:30 Why even kids experience grief, and how to help your children deal with grief 13:15 What advice should you give to a loved one who is grieving, and how do you deal with grieving in isolation? 16:10 Grief and anxiety: how are they related? 20:15, 44:31 How anxiety is inextricably linked to grief, and how to deal with both 40:00 How do you deal with the guilt that often comes with remarriage? 47:00 How do we deal with the COVID-19 transition period?48:33 What is Claire struggling with right now, and how is she dealing with the COVID-19 crisis?   For more info on Claire and to get her book visit: https://clairebidwellsmith.com  Read the full blog and show notes here:   https://drleaf.com/blogs/news/how-to-deal-with-loss-grief-how-unresolved-grief-could-be-causing-anxiety-problems-tips-on-how-to-help-your-children-deal-with-loss-grief-with-grief-expert-therapist-claire-bidwell-smith     Additional Resources:  -Get my new brain detox app SWITCH on sale now!

Racial prejudice doesn't just hurt the person who is victimized by it, it also impacts the person who inflicts the pain, whether intentionally or unintentionally. Toxic, biased mindsets are real things: they are built into the structures of brain, affecting how we see and interact with the world, which can affect our mental and physical health. Thankfully, we can rewire these mindsets and start changing the way we live, and the way we participate in society. But that's only if we are willing to put in the work to do so.Unwiring prejudice and racial bias from our brains and societies begins with deep, honest conversations, and I hope that this discussion with my two wonderful sons-in-law will impact you as much as it did me.  In this episode we discuss what it is like to be a black man in America, why we are talking about black lives matter and what does it really mean, police brutality and what we can do to change the system, how racism affects our mental health, dealing with trauma, what is going on with the current protests, what is privilege, racism in the church, how to empathize with people whose experiences are different to ours, and some things we can start doing now to end systematic racial bias and its effects.  I hope you will watch or listen with an open mind and an open heart. We are not trying to deny anyone's experiences, judge anyone or silence anyone. We are just trying to focus on what we can do to change something that has gone on way too long, at too great a cost.  Read Jay's blog here: https://drleaf.com/blogs/news/can-i-switch-off-my-brain-being-black-in-america-is-tiring-even-during-a-pandemic?_ke=  Read Eli's blog here: https://drleaf.com/blogs/news/how-money-fuels-police-brutality-against-people-of-color-and-how-we-can-fight-back?_ke=  Read a personal letter from me here:  https://drleaf.com/blogs/news/a-personal-letter-from-me?_ke=  Additional stories and blogs worth reading: https://drleaf.com/blogs/newsWhere you can donate today:  -Equal Justice Initiative: https://eji.org/?_ke -Minnesota Freedom Fund: https://minnesotafreedomfund.org/?_ke= -George Floyd Memorial Fund: https://www.gofundme.com/f/georgefloyd?_ke= -Campaign Zero: https://www.joincampaignzero.org/?_ke= -Reclaim the Block: https://www.reclaimtheblock.org/home?_ke= --NAACP: https://www.naacp.org Additional mental health resources and counseling options: - Free therapy for communities of color Text NOSTIGMA to 707070  -BetterHelp online therapy: https://trybetterhelp.com/drleaf -Inclusive Therapists: https://www.inclusivetherapists.com/?_ke= -Alyssa Marie Wellness: https://www.alyssamariewellness.com/?_ke= -Full Circle Therapy Services: https://www.fullcircletherapyservices.com -Crisis text hotline: Text SHARE to 741741 for free, fast, and confidential crisis counseling-Melanin And Mental Health: -https://www.melaninandmentalhealth.com/?_keAdditional reading materials:  -https://www.nytimes.com/2019/05/29/books/review/antiracist-reading-list-ibram-x-kendi.html -https://www.theguardian.com/books/booksblog/2020/jun/03/do-the-work-an-anti-racist-reading-list-layla-f-saadHelpful podcasts to listen to: https://www.elle.com/culture/movies-tv/g32732684/anti-racism-podcasts/This episode was made possible by our sponsor Feals CBD (the best CBD out there!): To get 50% off your Feals CBD order and free shipping see https://feals.com/drleaf.  Have questions about CBD?

We all know that our hormones are important, but did you know that they can impact our mood and mental health as well? In this podcast, I spoke to Dr. Anna Cabeca, an OB-GYN, bestselling author and hormone expert, about the neuroendocrine system, how our hormones affect our mood and mental wellbeing, how the keto diet boosts brain energy and can help us lose weight and what our urine says about our stress levels.  Dr. Anna’s desire to help others was inspired by her own life story. After the traumatic death of her young son, Anna’s health started declining as she went through PTSD-induced early menopause. Even though she was a highly-qualified doctor who trained at one of the best schools in the country, she was at a loss: nothing was working, so she went around the world looking for answers.  During her healing journey, Dr. Anna began to realize the importance of lifestyle choices and habits, and the impact they have on our hormonal health and mental and physical wellbeing. She recognized the importance of a holistic mind and body approach to health, and now teaches others how they too can heal and live their best lives! This podcast was made possible by our sponsor Kettle & Fire- my all time favorite bone broth company! To get 15% off your Kettle & Fire bone broth order see: Kettleandfire.com/drleaf or use code DRLEAF at checkout.    Podcast Time Stamps4:20 Why Dr. Anna has always loved medicine, and how her own struggles inspired her to help others8:20 The Hormone Fix, and how to deal with negative effects of perimenopause and menopause13:31 Hormones and mental health: how are they connected and what you can do about it20:09 Cortisol: the good, the bad and the ugly22:01 Insulin resistance, hormonal imbalance and weight gain32:22 What your urine pH says about your stress levels   36:07 What are bioidentical hormones and why are they important?42:20 Is the keto diet good for our hormones? Read the full show blog and transcript here: https://drleaf.com/blogs/news/is-a-hormonal-imbalance-making-you-moody-anxious-and-overweight-the-hormonal-problem-and-solution-with-dr-anna-cabeca-ob-gyn-and-hormone-expert  For more info on Dr. Anna and to get her books visit: https://drannacabeca.com  Additional Resources: -Join my text group for more tips, notifications of sales, and more!

Yet the cost of being inauthentic, of denying who you are and what you believe in, is often greater, and can keep you in bondage, as I discuss in this week’s blog and podcast with speaker, NY Times best-selling author and top podcast host Jen Hatmaker. As Jen discusses in her amazing new book Fierce, Free and Full of Fire: The Guide to Being Gloriously You, even though standing up for what you believe is right and embracing who you are and what you want in life can be challenging, the struggle is worth it.
