| 0:00.0 | Hey, everyone, I'm Dr. Josh Axe. Welcome the show. Did you know that the average American feels insecure five times a day? |
| 0:09.4 | And these feelings of insecurity and a lack of self-worth sabotage almost every area of our life. |
| 0:16.0 | If you don't feel self-confident and secure in who you are, it's going to impact your relationships, your career |
| 0:22.5 | success, and your physical health in a big way. And on today's episode, I'm going to be diving |
| 0:28.2 | deep into the topic of worthiness and how to build your identity and your self-esteem. And I think |
| 0:35.0 | that this is a topic that is so, so important. And by the way, there is no one out there alive who hasn't felt a sense of feeling insecure |
| 0:42.1 | and unworthy. |
| 0:43.7 | And it's really important that you build up your sense of worthiness in the right way. |
| 0:49.9 | Most people do this in the wrong way. |
| 0:51.7 | And so if you're a person and you struggle with low self-esteem, |
| 0:56.1 | low self-worth, low self-value, and you're also going through life, always trying to please other |
| 1:02.1 | people, this episode is for you. The reality is we have an identity crisis on our hands and our |
| 1:08.2 | culture. According to a study in 2023, they found the average |
| 1:13.0 | American, as I mentioned earlier, feels insecure five times a day. And we have a major problem |
| 1:18.6 | with imposter syndrome. An imposter syndrome, a recent study found the prevalence rate is as high |
| 1:24.1 | as 60 to 80 percent, especially in graduate students, college students, nurses, |
| 1:30.8 | medical students, and other professions. And so if you are feeling like you're an imposter, |
| 1:37.4 | it does something to your psyche. You're not as effective. And I want to say, by the way, |
| 1:42.9 | I've had imposter syndrome. |
| 1:45.7 | I think everybody has imposter syndrome. |
| 2:02.6 | When I first opened my functional medicine clinic, I think it was 26 years old. And I had a few people say to me, hey, you look a little young to be a doctor. And so I remember because I was so impacted by it, I grew, I grew this big grizzly beard. In fact, the first YouTube video I ever did, if you go back and look at my first one ever. |
| 2:03.9 | It should still be on there. |
