| 0:00.0 | Hey, hey, welcome back. Today we're going to be talking all things anxiety. We're going to be |
| 0:06.0 | covering what to do if you have anxiety, what to do when you're dealing with a partner in a |
| 0:10.5 | relationship with anxiety and even how to work with our kids and notice anxiety in them and coping |
| 0:16.6 | skills and what to do about that. I know we cover a lot of normal health topics and this is a more |
| 0:23.7 | of a mental health topic, but I will say that your mental health affects your physical health. |
| 0:31.0 | Anxiety and high levels of anxiety have been linked to heart disorders, obesity, chronic pain, |
| 0:37.2 | high blood pressure, a higher chance of stroke, stomach ulcers, and so many other problems. So your |
| 0:44.5 | mental health does affect your physical health. Hands down, no doubt about it. So if you are someone |
| 0:53.0 | sometimes struggles with anxiety and we're even going to talk today about if it's minor or if |
| 0:57.9 | it's major and kind of to be aware of that, but if you're someone who does have anxiety sometimes, |

| 1:14.6 | before. I do pretty regularly. I don't obviously have anxiety disorder, but many people do have anxiety. |
| 1:22.4 | Those levels just vary based on what we have going on and that is all normal. Sometimes it's |
| 1:27.7 | only a little bit and sometimes it's a lot, but the more tools and more coping skills and more |
| 1:32.8 | ways we can be aware and have in our tool belt for when we do hit a moment or a phase or extended |
| 1:41.4 | stage where we feel anxious, the better off we're going to be at getting to the other side and |
| 1:46.8 | moving out of feeling that anxious anxiety situation and just enjoying our life and really having |
| 1:54.8 | a better quality of life. So that's what we're going to talk to Dr. Caroline Rubenstein today. |
