You've probably been told that anxiety is a reaction to what's happening in your life. But my guest today says that's not the whole story. Most of your anxiety isn't a reaction to what's actually happening — it's a reaction to what you're imagining might happen. You get an email that says "can we talk tomorrow?" and your mind writes an entire disaster. Your brain then releases the same stress hormones whether the threat is real or imagined. My guest is Dr. Cassandra Vieten, a licensed clinical psychologist and director of research at the Arthur C. Clarke Center for Human Imagination at UC San Diego. Her new book is Imagine That. Some of the things we discuss are: Why you're imagining far more than you think — and how your brain reacts as if what you're imagining is actually happening The Mark Twain quote about worry that will stop you in your tracks Why "just think positive" backfires — and what to do with your imagination instead Your imagination profile — why some people see vivid pictures, others hear narrated stories, and both are valid ways of imagining How to visit your future self — and the surprising question to ask when you get there How to tell the difference between rumination and imagination The dragon-in-the-village metaphor Dr. Vieten uses for addiction — and why a good story can reach truths your logical mind can't The Therapist's Take: My top three strategies for using your imagination to grow mentally stronger Related Episodes 318 — How to Turn Anxiety Into a Competitive Advantage With a 2-Minute Play That Tricks Your Brain 144 — 7 Surprising Strategies That Fix Anxiety (Even Though We Fear These Things Will Make Anxiety Worse) Links & Resources Imagine That Connect with the Show Buy a copy of 13 Things Mentally Strong People Don't Do Connect with Amy on Instagram — @AmyMorinAuthor Sign Up for My Newsletter — https://amymorinlcsw.com/newsletter Sponsors Lola Blankets - Head to LolaBlankets.com and use code STRONGER to get 40% OFF your order.

Do you suffer with anxiety, depression, or another mental illness? Millions of people do. The usual treatment is a prescription medication. If that doesn't work, the healthcare provider may offer a different one. Diet is certainly not the first topic on the provider's mind. But what if, in addition to appropriate pharmacological treatment, you were able to nourish, protect and energize your brain with your diet? Our guest offers evidence that you can heal your mind with a ketogenic approach to eating. We need to acknowledge that this approach is quite different from the plant-rich eating pattern advocated by last week's guest, Dr. Will Bulsiewicz. Humans around the world have adopted a wide range of dietary regimens that support health. Listen to Dr. Georgia Ede explain why she thinks a paleo or ketogenic diet is helpful for bolstering brain health. At The People's Pharmacy, we strive to bring you up to date, rigorously researched insights and conversations about health, medicine, wellness and health policies and health systems. While these conversations intend to offer insight and perspective, the content is provided solely for informational and educational purposes. Please consult your healthcare provider before making any changes to your medical care or treatment.

Can You Heal Your Brain with Food? We live in stressful times. More than 50 million Americans take prescription antidepressants, and millions more are on anti-anxiety medication. Unfortunately, while these drugs can be life savers, they don't always work as well as we would like. In some cases, antidepressants are only about 10 percent more effective than a placebo. Dr. Georgia Ede is a psychiatrist who began her investigation into how food affects mental health serendipitously. She was experimenting with her own diet to address some physical health issues. She used a food and symptom journal to discover the best dietary choices for her own health. To her surprise, the “upside-down” diet that helped her feel better physically also improved her sleep and her ability to focus. She started looking into evidence that a paleo or ketogenic diet could benefit people with mental health challenges. What Is Metabolic Psychiatry? There is evidence that people consuming unhealthy diets full of fast food or ultra-processed products are more susceptible to symptoms of anxiety (Nutrition Neuroscience, May 19, 2026). On the other hand, people participating in a supervised weight-loss program using either a low-carbohydrate ketogenic diet or a low-fat diet reported improvements in mood (Obesity, Jan. 2007). Those on the ketogenic (Atkins) diet reported less hunger and fewer unpleasant symptoms. Researchers have also tested a ketogenic diet in people with schizophrenia or bipolar disorder (Psychiatry Research, May 2024). These volunteers also had metabolic disorders, including obesity, which is often an unwanted effect of the ant-psychotic drugs they take to treat their condition. This four-month pilot study saw participants lose weight, reduce insulin resistance and lower their triglycerides. Even more impressive, they had a 32 percent reduction in the Brief Psychiatric Rating Scale. They also reported better sleep and improved life satisfaction. You may find this recent article from National Geographic of interest: https://www.nationalgeographic.com/health/article/metabolic-psychiatry-keto-diet-brain-science. Unfortunately, it might be behind a paywall. How Does Food Affect Our Brains? Most of our body tissues are accustomed to getting energy from glucose, with the help of insulin. However, years of exposure to high levels of these compounds often makes the tissues less sensitive to the effects of insulin. The consequence is that the body–and therefore also the brain–is flooded with high levels of glucose. This exposure can result in the formation of advanced glycation end products in the brain, which can be harmful. The brain evolved to use either glucose or a flexible mix of glucose and ketones. These are the result of burning fat rather than sugar. A paleo diet will naturally provide more ketones and less glucose. Dr. Ede and colleagues have found that a ketogenic diet can be very helpful even for people with relatively serious mental problems. In one study (which was not placebo-controlled), patients hospitalized with severe persistent mental illness were given a ketogenic diet. Most did well and had significant improvements in their depression and psychosis symptoms (Frontiers in Psychiatry, July 6, 2022). Is Ketosis Dangerous? Ketosis itself simply means that you are burning fat as fuel rather than sugar. This can be achieved by following a diet that is high in animal fat, with moderate amounts of animal protein and low amounts of carbohydrate derived from plant foods. Ketosis is not inherently dangerous. However, Dr. Ede urges anyone who wants to heal their brain with diet to ask a healthcare provider to monitor and supervise the process. Prescription drug doses may require adjustment, and people may need support as they adopt a paleo or ketogenic diet. That is why this is not a do-it-yourself approach. Is Coconut Oil Helpful to Heal Your Brain? Dr. Ede described the benefits of medium-chain fatty acids produced in digesting fat. You may recall a video from a few years back in which a doctor described helping her husband recover from Alzheimer disease, at least partially, by giving him coconut oil. Some researchers consider Alzheimer disease to be a form of diabetes because the AD brain does not metabolize sugar effectively. Dr. Ede suggested that the benefits may be real, but getting medium-chain fatty acids from the diet rather than be taking coconut oil might be preferable. After Dr. Ede told us about Fran, who overcame significant memory problems by changing to a ketogenic diet, we hope there will be trials on this. Future Trials on Diet to Heal Your Brain Dietary trials are notoriously difficult to conduct. People often don't stick to the prescribed diet, and it can be difficult to find an appropriate placebo for comparison. Nonetheless, Dr. Ede is looking forward to results from a large trial of the keto diet for people with schizophrenia or bipolar disorder. This study is being conducted in Australia. This Week’s Guest Dr. Georgia Ede is a globally recognized expert in nutritional and metabolic psychiatry. Her 25+ years of clinical experience include 7 years at Harvard University, where she was the first psychiatrist to offer nutrition-based approaches to mental health conditions. Dr. Ede co-authored the first inpatient study of the ketogenic diet for serious mental illness, developed the first medically accredited course in ketogenic diets for mental health, and is a recipient of the Baszucki Metabolic Mind Award. Current research collaborations include pilot studies in pediatric bipolar disorder, adult ADHD, and PTSD. Her internationally bestselling book Change Your Diet, Change Your Mind: A Powerful Plan to Improve Mood, Overcome Anxiety, and Protect Memory for a Lifetime of Optimal Mental Health is being translated into 11 languages and is recommended by the New York Times Book Review.

What Fresh Hell: Laughing in the Face of Motherhood | Parenting Tips From Funny Moms
Childhood anxiety is on the rise. Parents are often unsure how to respond, and in their well-intentioned efforts to reassure their kids, can sometimes reinforce the anxious patterns. In this interview Kristen McNeely, LMFT, explains how parents can start to help their kids build resilience by taking small, manageable steps toward the things that might scare them. We also discuss school refusal—why it's more complicated than simply not wanting to go to school; the warning signs parents should watch for; and why collaboration between parents, schools, and mental health professionals is essential. Kristen explains why school refusal often begins with school avoidance, how transition years like kindergarten and middle school increase risk, and why pulling kids out of school is rarely an effective long-term solution. Amy, Margaret, and Kristen also discuss: Why parental accommodations can unintentionally fuel anxiety The difference between validating feelings and reinforcing fear Why gradual exposure works better than avoidance The four common drivers of school refusal How ADHD, autism, and separation anxiety can increase risk Why helping kids feel connected to their school community matters How parent-focused treatments like SPACE can improve childhood anxiety—even without the child in therapy sessions Here's where you can find Kristen: https://kristenmcneely.com/ @childhood.empowered on IG https://schoolcapable.kristenmcneely.com/ What Fresh Hell is co-hosted by Amy Wilson and Margaret Ables.

What does the Bible actually say about anxiety… and could one of the simplest things God designed the human body to do help bring peace to your mind and emotions? In this episode, Bryan Cutshall explores the biblical and practical connection between anxiety, the body, and the power of movement. Through Scripture, personal insight, and practical understanding of how the body responds to stress, this teaching reveals why walking can become a powerful tool in overcoming fear, emotional paralysis, and mental exhaustion. Why does the Bible repeatedly connect faith with walking? Could forward motion physically, mentally, and spiritually help break cycles of anxiety and fear? Most people think of anxiety as only a mental struggle, but this teaching explains how anxiety affects the body, soul, and spirit. Bryan Cutshall explores how stress hormones, tension, overthinking, isolation, and emotional exhaustion all work together to create anxiety, while also showing how God designed the body to respond to movement, fresh air, sunlight, and intentional action. This episode examines the biblical meaning behind passages like “walk through the valley of the shadow of death” and “walk by faith, not by sight,” while explaining the physical and emotional benefits of walking. Bryan Cutshall discusses how movement helps regulate breathing, calm the nervous system, release endorphins, reduce stress hormones, and break the mental “freeze cycle” that often keeps people trapped in fear and overthinking. More than a discussion about mental health, this teaching is a reminder that God designed the human body with healing principles built into it and that peace often comes not only through information, but through practice. From walking with God in the cool of the day to learning how motion changes emotion, this episode encourages believers to keep moving forward in faith, trust God through difficult seasons, and discover practical ways to experience greater peace and emotional clarity. 00:00 Introduction: Anxiety Is Becoming an Epidemic 00:38 Anxiety Is More Than a Mental Battle 01:28 Walking Through the Valley of the Shadow of Death 02:15 Why Walking Helps Anxiety 03:00 Burning Off Stress Hormones and Regulating Breathing 03:58 How Walking Calms the Brain 04:39 Why Movement Cleanses the Body 05:37 Breaking the Anxiety “Freeze Cycle” 06:32 How Walking Helps Depression 07:43 Anxiety Affects the Body, Soul, and Spirit 08:56 Why Entertainment Cannot Heal Anxiety 10:00 Motion Changes Your Emotion 10:44 Walking Restores Control and Changes Your Chemistry 11:30 The First Thing God Did With Adam and Eve 12:05 Walking With God in the Cool of the Day 12:40 Peace Comes Through Practice, Not Just Information 13:08 Walk by Faith and Fear No Evil

Some seasons hit so hard you start asking, “Is there a lesson in this, or am I just sinking?” I'm Tamera Trotter, and I built this conversation for the moments when life feels like quicksand, your faith is waning, and you're not sure how to take the next step without breaking. The truth I come back to is simple: storms don't last forever, but how we ride them out can shape who we become. You can cope with your depression, by knowing the signs. You will feel better mentally and emotionally.I walk through four anchors for mental health and emotional wellness during hard times: resiliency, courage, faith, and stamina. We get practical about resiliency as your “bounce back” skill, and I'll ask you to rate yourself so you can spot where you're strong and where you need support. Then we shift into courage, not as fearlessness, but as choosing action while you're afraid. If you're dealing with depression, anxiety, grief, burnout, or constant stress, that distinction can change how you show up today.To tie it all together, I share a ship-in-a-storm mindset: you can't control the storm, but you can control your sails, your direction, and your mindset. I also give you a simple daily affirmation to repeat when pressure closes in, and I reflect on Isaiah 41 and the idea of being strengthened over time for what's ahead. If you're looking for hope, coping skills, and a steady voice that says “keep going,” press play, then share this with someone who needs it.

Dr. Hoffman continues his conversation with Harvard-trained psychiatrist Dr. Georgia Ede, author of "Change Your Diet, Change Your Mind: A Powerful Plan to Improve Mood, Overcome Anxiety, and Protect Memory for a Lifetime of Optimal Mental Health."
Harvard-trained psychiatrist Dr. Georgia Ede is the author of "Change Your Diet, Change Your Mind: A Powerful Plan to Improve Mood, Overcome Anxiety, and Protect Memory for a Lifetime of Optimal Mental Health." She links diet to the mental health crisis and dementia risk. Ede explains that conventional psychiatric training ignored nutrition, and she later incorporated dietary strategies alongside medication and psychotherapy after personal health experiences. She emphasizes focusing on metabolic and nutritional quality—especially stabilizing blood sugar and insulin—rather than simplistic plant-vs-animal messaging. She argues some animal foods are needed for brain nutrients like B12 and EPA/DHA. She discusses ketogenic diets as a way to lower insulin, produce ketones, improve brain energy, and reduce inflammation, citing case reports and a study of hospitalized patients where many improved and 44% reached remission. She critiques nutrition epidemiology as unreliable and outlines three “quiet” dietary tiers: whole-food low-glycemic, ketogenic, and carnivore, plus practical issues like electrolytes and gradual transition.

Gen Z has often been called the anxious generation. But why is anxiety so widespread, and what can actually be done about it? In this episode, I sit down with my Gen Z co-host for an honest and thoughtful conversation about anxiety. We talk about what's contributing to it, what young people are most anxious about today, and how constant pressure, uncertainty, and comparison are shaping this generation's inner world. Most importantly, we turn to what God's Word has to say about anxiety and peace. How can we experience peace in the middle of real-life worries, not just in theory? This episode is practical, compassionate, and grounded in Scripture. Whether you personally wrestle with anxiety, love someone who does, or want to better understand the challenges Gen Z is facing, this conversation offers insight, hope, and direction.

In this insightful episode of Art of Raising Humans, Kyle and Sara Wester talk with psychologist Dr. Tamar Chansky, founder of the Children's and Adult Center for OCD and Anxiety and author of Freeing Your Child from Anxiety. Together they explore what anxiety really is, how it shows up in children, and how parents can respond with empathy and connection instead of fear. Dr. Chansky offers simple, science-based tools to help kids analyze their worries, practice gradual exposure to fears, and build confidence step by step. You'll learn how to create a safe space for conversations about anxiety, regulate your child's nervous system with calming techniques, and see anxiety not as an enemy—but as a messenger that guides growth. If your child worries often or struggles with big feelings, this conversation will equip you with practical ways to bring more calm, courage, and connection to your parenting.

Physician executive Mona Potter discusses her article "When anxiety runs the show: How medication can help kids thrive." In this episode, Mona explores how clinical anxiety differs from everyday worry, why it can become paralyzing, and how medication can be a key part of restoring balance in children's lives. She emphasizes that medication alone isn't a cure, but when combined with cognitive behavioral therapy, it can create the mental space kids need to learn coping skills and regain confidence. Mona also explains the importance of giving treatments enough time to work, understanding the difference between helpful and harmful anxiety, and considering the risks of doing nothing. Listeners will walk away with compassionate, evidence-based guidance for supporting children when fear takes the lead. Our presenting sponsor is Microsoft Dragon Copilot.

Hey, Heal Squad! Buckle up because we are back with one of my all-time favorite guests, the brilliant Dr Joe Dispenza! In Part 1, Dr Joe breaks down how our thoughts and emotions literally shape our reality. He explains how the hormones of stress become addictive, why anxiety can dissolve in just days of doing the work, and the science of catching yourself before you slip back into old patterns. Maria also opens up about her own breakthroughs with Dr Joe's teachings, including how she learned to shift her energy field from negative to positive potentials. Together, they explore how to take your power back, rewire your brain and body, and step into a future created by love instead of fear. It's vulnerable, it's exciting, and it's proof that we are the creators of our lives (even when that feels impossible to believe). And this is just the beginning… tune in & come back tomorrow for Part 2! HEALERS & HEAL-LINERS: Your thoughts can make you sick. When you constantly imagine worst-case scenarios, your body turns on the stress response as if it's real, and over time, that imbalance creates disease. Anxiety is not permanent. Dr Joe's research shows that in as little as three days of doing the work, the brain can reset and anxiety can dissolve. The present moment is medicine. Each time you catch your mind drifting into fear and bring it back to now, you reclaim your energy and open the door to healing.
