Hey friends, Dr. Motley here. Welcome to the Dr. Josh Axe podcast. I welcome my first time meeting

good friend, Dr. Carolyn Leif. She is an expert in neurology. She's a neuroscientist. She

helps people all around the world with how they can help their anxiety, their depression,

their mood. She has written many books, especially how you think. The toxic emotions in your life,

what can make you think down, what can make you feel anxious, and she gives you practical, simple

ways even though they're complicated in their steps, but simple aspects of how you can heal

your anxiety and your depression. So welcome, Dr. Carolyn Leif. Thank you so much for joining us on

the podcast. Thank you. I'm honored to be joining you. It's been the second time I've been on

Josh's podcast now, the third time I've worked on it, and I'm very honored, so thank you so much.
