Summary
In an attempt to lead the healthiest life possible, food and movement often become the main focus - but you must also address your mental and emotional health, particularly as you age. More and more research links physical health problems to root emotional problems meaning stress, worry, and anxiety left unchecked can have horrendous long-term implications on your health.
On this week’s Yoga Talk Show, clinical psychologist, David Carbonell, decodes anxiety: why we worry, how anxiety sets in, and what can be done to address it and regain control.
He's the author of Panic Attacks Workbook: A Guided Program for Beating the Panic Trick and the soon-to-be released, The Worry Trick: How Your Brain Tricks You into Expecting the Worst and What You Can Do About It
What You'll Learn:
- Why talk therapy is probably not the best choice for anxiety
- How generalized anxiety vs. panic attacks differ
- Practical tips for dealing with anxiety-inducing situations
Nutritional Tip of the Week:
- Glorious, glorious water!

| 0:14.8 | Today's Yoga Talk Show is brought to you by Lem's shoes. It's L-E-M-S. I am a client of Lem's shoes. I've been wearing them now for about nine months. I have the primal two. I actually have two different pairs of them. What they are is minimal footwear, but they're a special kind of minimal footwear. They have big fat wide toes so your toes can spread out. |
| 0:20.0 | If you've been listening to the yoga talk show for any period of time, you know that I've been doing a lot of work to stretch and elongate my feet. |
| 0:27.0 | I went from a size 10 to a size 12.5, eventually I'll be a size 13 here shortly. |
| 0:34.0 | So I've really, really changed the structure of my feet over the past years, |
| 0:39.0 | but specifically over the past year, and Lem shoes have been a huge part of that. |
| 0:42.0 | I use them for trail running essentially I usually go for about a 30 or 40 minute trail run in the afternoon and |
| 0:48.1 | These shoes are awesome I've tried a bunch of different ones I started off with Nike Fries, I tried the Vibram Five Fingers, neither of those |
| 0:55.2 | really worked. Nike Fries, my feet slipped around in the toe, I don't know why, I tried a couple |
| 0:59.6 | different pairs. The Vibrums I couldn't just, I really just couldn't get into them my feet just didn't fit these |
| 1:04.4 | limbs are super super comfortable but they're also sturdy and so they're a zero-drop shoe |
| 1:09.8 | meaning the heel and the front of your foot are at the same elevation, which is what you want. |
| 1:14.3 | It mimics natural, it mimics barefoot, essentially. |
| 1:18.2 | But there's enough padding that I can go on very rugged trails and I don't stab my foot like you do in some of the other minimal |
| 1:24.3 | footwear. They're also really sturdy, much more sturdy than my Nike freeze |
| 1:27.8 | were. I've put a ton of miles on my pairs and I got two pairs because I |
| 1:32.1 | was convinced I was going to burn through |
| 1:33.4 | him and I'm still on my first pair in any case I'm a huge fan and I'll be a client for life |
| 1:38.1 | check them out lems shoes.com I'm really happy to have them as a sponsor and if you're into minimal running if you're trying to fix your squished up toes |
| 1:48.1 | They're a really really great shoe to have. Thanks so much to Lem's shoes for supporting independent media like the |
