Dr. Sarah.

Hey, Sabrina.

I am so excited to have you.

Welcome to the studio. Thank you. Happy to be here. Yeah. I'm excited because we talk about everything that I've talked to this point up on the show, besides personal experience, has been about the mental health of anxiety. Yeah, mental health. The mental health, which is, as we know, incredibly important. But I'll be honest, it wasn't until, like, I always associated with, like, I need to do the mental health stuff and completely said fuck all to my health, like physical health. And I had my sister for years being like, you know, eating sugar like that at night is going to cause you to be more anxious. Or Sabrina, you're eating this when you shouldn't. It's causing inflammation. And I thought it was for the birds. I was like, that is nonsense. Birth control is not doing anything, right? All those things. Until I started really doing the work, going through my own stuff, which we'll talk about, and realizing the impact that the, like, physiological anxiety, right, that we have different things that it's not just mental health. So I am stoked because we have

so much to talk about. Before we dive in, could you please tell us more about you, how you got to where you are? Because that why people

understand, like, why we have you here because you're a fucking legend. Well, thank you so much. I am a physician. I've been taking care of women for about 30 plus years. I'm a board certified

obstetrician gynecologist, but I do a lot more than that. My focus is really what's called

precision medicine. So I really help people looking at their physiology, as you described.

Their biomarkers, like blood testing, that sort of thing,

so that we understand the root cause of why they have symptoms like anxiety or maybe mold toxicity

or, you know, struggle with depression or ADHD. So that's my work. I've written a few books,

the hormone cure, women food and hormones. Those are my favorite work. I've written a few books, The Hormone Cure, Women's Food and Hormones. Those are my favorite topics.

Well, I'm glad you're here today because we're going to dive in because I think so much of it's important, like I said, whether it be all of those variables. But I'm curious to even start. As you've done all of this work for years, what is the one or maybe a couple of things that you

have noticed that contribute to anxiety, depression, things like that, that are underrated,

that we might not even realize?

The things I see the most are drinking too much caffeine or even any caffeine, if you're

really sensitive to it.

Like, I'm super sensitive.

And I can tell that you probably

had some caffeine this morning. I did not. And then what I see a lot of people do, men and women,

is that they crank themselves up on caffeine. And then at night, to be able to like decompress,

they then drink. Yeah. And the thing about drinking is that the next day, it often increases anxiety, just as your body is detoxing and withdrawing from it.
