Summary

In this episode I talk to Dr. Ellen Vora, a holistic psychiatrist who uses a functional medicine approach to mental health and whole-being wellness. We discuss how her approach differs from traditional western psychiatry; what factors are most important in being a truly fulfilled human being; how to shift from living in a chronically stressed response to one of relaxation; and overcoming scarcity mindset. We also talk about nutrition, how specific foods mimic drugs when we ingest them, and how to learn how to eat intuitively and trust our bodies.
