I am taking a couple of weeks off of recording the podcast, and that means that we get to drop some of my favorite episodes that you may or may not have ever listened to. These three interviews have such a dramatically different approach on how we can heal our mental health and truly become mentally well.Dr. Ellen Vora is a board-certified psychiatrist, acupuncturist, and yoga teacher, and she is the author of The Anatomy of Anxiety. She takes a functional medicine approach to mental health—considering the whole person and addressing imbalance at the root.
