“We are suffering unnecessarily because our physical bodies are out of balance.” Dr. Vora

Our guest this week is Dr. Ellen Vora, a board-certified psychiatrist, acupuncturist, and yoga teacher, and she is the author of The Anatomy of Anxiety. She takes a functional medicine approach to mental health—considering the whole person and addressing imbalance at the root. Dr. Vora received her B.A. from Yale University and her M.D. from Columbia University.

It’s normal to occasionally experience anxiety, such as when we’re faced with a high-stakes meeting, a stressed-out boss, or a conflict with a colleague. But according to the National Institute of Mental Health, in any given year, 19% of U.S. adults are suffering from an anxiety disorder, and 31% will deal with a disorder at least once in their lifetime.  

Dr. Vora explains false anxiety – avoidable anxiety, causes real suffering but can have a straight forward, physical basis. When anxious, we tend to get trapped in false or limited ways of thinking – not that the feelings we are experiencing aren’t real or valid. However, these thought patterns create a debilitating negative spiral that can take over our lives by convincing us of impending doom and further exacerbating our sense of helplessness. Dr. Vora shares her tips to learn how to translate anxious feelings into purposeful action.

It may be small, but your thyroid is a mighty organ that is responsible for many important functions that can make a huge difference in your health. Metabolism, hormones, digestion, brain, and so much more are all affected by how well (or not) the thyroid is functioning. When the thyroid is not working well, you may feel pretty miserable. Thyroid disorders are common, affecting over 20 million Americans every year, and even more common in women (1 in 8 women will have a thyroid disorder at some point in life). 

Our guest today is Dr. Eric Balcavage – Dr. Balcavage is a Doctor of Chiropractic, Certified Functional Medicine Practitioner, Certified Nutrition Specialist, Board Certified in Integrative Medicine, Certified Gluten Coach and the Clinic Director at Rejuvagen Center in Pennsylvania.

There is SO much information about food and exercise circling about, and it’s often conflicting or confusing. Perhaps you’ve tried a diet and failed, started an exercise routine and stopped, lost weight and then gained it back. I can relate because I’ve done all of those things.”

Who can relate? I sure can. Our guest today is Lindsay Young a certified transformational nutrition coach and strength and conditioning coach, a business owner, a wife, and a busy mom of 3 and she has mastered the balancing act of taking care of herself and her health as well as all of her other responsibilities. By including herself in her list of priorities, she is able to easily say no to the things that don’t fit the vision she has for herself, her family, and her life. In this episode, she breaks it down for us and how we can do the same.

As you know, as we age our bodies change – and what has always worked for us, might not always work – and the frustration comes from the trying to figure out the next thing that will work for us. Did you know that managing blood sugar could be the silver bullet to so many health challenges, as well as a huge obstacle for managing consistency? Lindsay explains how our blood sugar controls hormones and hunger cues and could be sabotaging your progress.

If you have been in a health rut or are burnt out on striving but falling short from thriving, this episode might be just the spark of inspiration you need to look at it with a different perspective.
