PART 1 of 2 

We are thrilled to invite Dr. Ellen Vora to the show today. Ellen is the author of, The Anatomy of Anxiety: Understanding and Overcoming the Body's Fear Response. Anxiety is often regarded as a “neck up” problem, but Ellen debunks this in her book and in our conversation.  


Guest Bio: Ellen Vora, MD 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. Dr. Vora received her B.A. from Yale University and her M.D. from Columbia University.

Ellen approaches anxiety and mental health from a holistic perspective, acknowledging that talk therapy and meds can be helpful, but they’re not the only solution. Small, incremental lifestyle changes can make a huge difference for some people in dealing with false anxiety, thereby clearing the way to treat true anxiety.  Ellen breaks anxiety into two categories, true anxiety vs. false anxiety, and we explore how to manage both of them. Join us as we broaden the conversation around anxiety and talk about the other paths up the mountain of healing with Dr. Ellen Vora. 


Untraining: The mindset that the presence of anxiety means there is something wrong with us that needs to be fixed and that our only two options are psychotherapy or medication.

Training: The idea that some anxiety is rooted in the body, and that through teaching, experimentation and listening to ourselves, we have more options when it comes to resourcing ourselves and alleviating anxiety.
