Ep 57: What Your Anxiety is Trying to Te...

with Melissa Wood-Tepperberg
About this episode

In this episode, Melissa is joined by functional medicine psychiatrist, Dr. Ellen Vora, for a discussion on mental health. Dr. Vora offers a fresh perspective on mental well-being by advocating for a holistic approach to tackling struggles with common conditions like anxiety and depression. Dr. Vora identifies two different types of anxiety: one that signals an imbalance in our physical body, and a second that indicates that our intuition is telling us that something in our lives is out of alignment. She describes how to identify both types, how to decipher them, and what actions to take to improve our mental and emotional well-being. This episode is a must-listen for anyone looking to improve their mental health and achieve a happier and more fulfilling life.
