Today on the root cause medicine podcast. The most effective antidepressant is exercise. It's more

effective than anything I can prescribe to. And then within that, dance rose to the top and it was

by far in a way the most effective of all the different forms of exercise, which is interesting,

because that tells us it's more than just the heart pumping,

the endorphins from exercise. It's something in the sinking up with music. It's something

in what music combined with movement does for us. Well, hello, and welcome back to the Rood Cause

Medicine podcast. I'm Dr. Keith Kreske, your host for today, joined again by Dr. Ellen Vora,

our favorite Yale and Columbia Tree, psychiatrist, and author of The Anatomy of Anxiety. Now, Dr. Ellen took us through the mind-body spirit approach to anxiety in the first episode, and we really focused heavily on the body part. How do we work up physiological root causes of anxiety? Things that Dr. Ellen terms false anxiety, like blood sugar

imbalances or endocrine imbalances, and how do we address those issues once we find them?

In part two, today we're talking about the mind and spirit approaches to anxiety.

What do you do when labs come back normal and the physiological issues are mostly resolved?

How do we help clients who are grappling with true anxiety

to navigate an uncertain world?

Dr. Vora does a beautiful job of explaining how things like breath

and movement and mindset can really be medicines for anxiety.

On this podcast, we so often talk about lab workup

and supplement interventions, but mindset

and psychological approaches to issues are just as important.

And so we do a deep dive into those today. I love that Dr. Vora has so many nuggets of wisdom

to share with us. If you're a clinician who's helping your clients with anxiety, this is one you

don't want to miss. Before we get started, though, I've got a special question for the practitioners

in the audience.
