S2, Ep 101: Anxiety?...Don’t Panic, We Got You

I've wanted to do an episode on anxiety for while, partly because more people have been experiencing high levels of anxiety since the COVID-19 pandemic began. And also to get a better understanding of hormonal and lifestyle changes that have brought on anxiety in my own life.

In this episode I speak to Dr. Nirja Joshi about spotting signs of anxiety in others and ourselves. Shallow breathing, digestive problems and restlessness are a few but it's not always obvious and it's shocking to learn how prolonged anxiety affects our entire wellbeing.

We discuss talking to teens about their mental health, natural techniques to reduce anxiety, where you can turn to for help, and when we might need medication.
