318. The 5 Steps You Need NOW for Reducing Anxiety, Depression and Mindset Struggles


Listen Later

As I coach women with their fitness and nutrition, I see a lot of anxiety, depression and lowered moods, and even toxic thoughts that begin to creep in and affect women’s overall health and outlook.

Sound familiar?

Many of us women have a silent mess going on inside of our minds. This mental chaos can have a dramatic impact on our daily mood, and how we show up to take care of ourselves and others.

The reality is, you can have the perfect routine, the perfect meal plan in place, but if your mind is not in the right space, none of it matters.

That’s why I invited Dr. Caroline Leaf on the podcast to talk about our brain, our mindset and our thoughts, and specifically how our mind is intimately connected with our physical bodies. Dr. Leaf is one of the world’s leading experts on cognitive neuroscience and neuropsychology, and is the author of several books including “Cleaning Up Your Mental Mess”.

In today’s episode, we’ll discuss:

  • Increased anxiety and depression in midlife and it’s impact on our physical health
  • Neuroplasticity - what is it and what can it do for us?
  • The 5-step process that can help reduce anxiety and depression - and how to apply them to our daily lives
  • The one simple action step you can take TODAY that will make an impact on your own mental mess.
