What Our Anxiety Is Telling Us – GOOP Podcast

by Ellen Vora, MD on Aug 13, 2019 / Share

I was honored to sit down with GOOP and be featured on the goopPodcast to discuss what our anxiety is telling us.

We’re just not taught these days to feel our feelings. Symptoms such as anxiety and depression, hormone and gut issues are our really beautiful, brilliant body’s way of communicating to us. To communicate back, I focus on food, sleep, stress, and other lifestyle changes.

I meet patients where they are; I work with people who are on antidepressants and who are tapering off of SSRIs. My most important work is not fixing a problem but helping to hold space for the full human experience.
