Summary

Ellen Vora, M.D.: “There’s a lot to be said about surrender, being asked to let go of control. You can do your best, but also recognize some aspect of this is out of your control.” It can be frustrating when people respond to your stress by saying, “Don’t stress," especially as we face the anxiety surrounding the coronavirus. That’s why co-CEO, Jason Wachob, consulted Vora, a holistic psychiatrist, to discuss how to deal with our anxiety surrounding the coronavirus, plus: *How to have a healthy information diet* *How to ramp up self-care amidst a global pandemic* *What we can learn as a species from COVID-19* To learn more about our three products that Jason swears by right now: For guarding your gut check out probiotic+ at mindbodygreen.com/probiotic For stress support check out hemp multi+ at mindbodygreen.com/hemp For sleep assistance check out magnesium+at mindbodygreen.com/magnesium Whether it's an article or podcast, we want to know what we can do to help here at mindbodygreen. Let us know at: [email protected]. Also be sure to check out our classes on How To Control Anxiety and The Doctor's Guide To Falling Asleep Naturally, first-of-their-kind learning experiences taught by Vora, herself.
