The Age of Anxiety & the Many Paths to Peace w/ Dr. Ellen Vora #395 The Life Stylist
-
- Alternative Health
Dr. Ellen Vora made anxiety an art form with her mind-blowing book, “The Anatomy of Anxiety,” which offers a groundbreaking approach to understanding how anxiety manifests in the body and mind. As you'll learn in this episode, anxiety is not a mind-over-matter concept we can wriggle free from. Rather, to truly understand its nuances, one must address it as a whole-body condition. Together, we delve into the murky and mysterious emotion that has spread in silence as its own pandemic across the globe. We talk about how we make amends with the anxious threads that literally keep us up at night, the state of our emotion-phobic society that stifles somatic release, and the various modalities – from diet to biohacks – that can gift us with the mental timeout we all need.
07:30 — The “Why” Behind Anxiety
How Dr. Ellen fell out of sync with Western medicine Approaching anxiety beyond medication The middle ground between psych meds and holistic medicine
23:22 — True & False Anxiety
The real reason you’re anxious The meaning-making mind and the human drive to create narratives Surviving in an emotion-phobic culture Crying: why we should be doing more of it How trauma is held in the body
45:46 — The Brain, Stress + Anxiety
A nuanced look at Serotonin and GABA GABA and the gut How alcohol affects GABA levels Getting to the root of trauma with somatic therapy Finding a place for the therapeutic uses of psychedelics
1:11:13 — Why Anxiety Has a Place In The World
The Dian Fossey chimpanzee study Anxiety as a superpower How diet can play into your anxious state
1:22:36 — Tech-xiety, Sleep + EMF
Why the attention economy does not serve our peace Compare and despair syndrome Reframing our relationship with technology The move to “find your seat” Navigating parenthood and tech Sleep and impact on mental health
