Welcome to the MyBuddyGreen podcast. I'm Jason Wachib, founder and co-CEO of MyBuddyGreen and your host.

Depression and anxiety disorders are rising affecting more than 58 million people here in the US.

clinical professor of psychiatry at Columbia University. His work focuses on the treatment

of depression and anxiety with the combination of psychotherapy, diet and lifestyle modification.

And he's got an amazing new book out called Eat to Be Depression and Anxiety.
