 In Part 2 of the ANEW Insight Podcast, Dr. Supatra Tovar continues her conversation with Lauren Tobey, trauma-informed coach, nervous system educator, creator of The Spiral Framework, and Amazon bestselling author of Spiraling Into Control. Together, they explore how childhood experiences, attachment patterns, perfectionism, and people-pleasing can influence our responses to stress and contribute to emotional shutdown.

The conversation begins with how personal experiences shape our nervous system's learned responses to stress. Lauren explains how repeated praise for working harder, achieving more, and meeting expectations can reinforce behaviors that eventually become exhausting. Dr. Tovar and Lauren examine how these patterns can begin in childhood, when approval, affection, and emotional safety may become associated with achievement or pleasing others.

Dr. Tovar and Lauren also examine the role of self-compassion in overcoming perfectionism and shame. They discuss how constant self-criticism and the belief that we are never doing enough can keep us trapped in cycles of overachievement, people-pleasing, and emotional exhaustion. Lauren introduces a central question from her Spiral Framework: "Who am I when I'm not who I had to become?"

The conversation concludes with practical approaches to nervous system regulation, emotional awareness, and reconnecting with yourself. Dr. Tovar discusses calming practices such as controlled breathing and learning to recognize our needs when we are less overwhelmed by stress. Lauren emphasizes the importance of small moments of safety, patience, and consistent practice rather than expecting immediate transformation.

Ultimately, this episode offers an important reminder that personal growth is not about becoming perfect. It is about developing greater self-awareness, responding to ourselves with compassion, and creating space for connection, authenticity, and joy.

You Will Learn About:

• How personal experiences shape learned nervous system responses to stress
• Why praise, achievement, and external validation can reinforce overworking
• How childhood attachment experiences can influence perfectionism and people-pleasing
• Why understanding childhood patterns does not necessarily mean blaming parents
• How breathing and nervous system regulation practices may support emotional awareness
• Why small moments of safety can help interrupt automatic stress responses
• How patience, self-compassion, and consistent practice support meaningful personal growth

 Perfectionism, people-pleasing, and constant striving for success are often celebrated as signs of ambition and discipline. But what happens when these behaviors become exhausting survival patterns rather than healthy motivation?

In Part 1 of the ANEW Insight Podcast, Dr. Supatra Tovar speaks with Lauren Tobey, trauma-informed coach, nervous system educator, creator of The Spiral Framework, and Amazon bestselling author of Spiraling Into Control. Lauren helps high-performing women understand the patterns behind perfectionism, emotional disconnection, overfunctioning, and high-functioning survival.

The conversation begins with Lauren's personal experiences of losing her sense of identity following an emotionally abusive marriage and an unexpected career layoff. She explains how both experiences revealed similar emotional patterns and inspired her to develop The Spiral Framework, a personal growth model that describes the recurring process of losing, questioning, and rebuilding one's sense of self.

Dr. Tovar and Lauren then explore the concept of high-functioning survival, a state in which individuals continue fulfilling responsibilities, achieving professional success, and meeting expectations while feeling emotionally disconnected or exhausted internally. Lauren explains why someone can appear successful and capable on the outside while struggling to experience joy, emotional connection, and personal fulfillment.

The conversation also examines how societal expectations and childhood conditioning can contribute to perfectionism, particularly among women. Dr. Tovar discusses the pressure women face to excel professionally while managing family responsibilities, appearance expectations, relationships, and the emotional needs of others. Lauren shares how learning to associate achievement with praise and approval influenced her drive to constantly accomplish more.

You Will Learn About:

• What high-functioning survival looks like in everyday life
• Why successful people may feel emotionally exhausted or disconnected
• How perfectionism and people-pleasing can become learned survival patterns
• How childhood experiences may influence achievement, approval-seeking, and self-worth
• Why women often experience additional pressure from professional and family expectations
• Why emotional growth and self-awareness do not always follow a linear path
• How to recognize when ambition becomes exhausting or difficult to control
• Why personal fulfillment and sustainable achievement require attention to emotional well-being

 In Part 2 of the ANEW Insight Podcast, Dr. Supatra Tovar continues her conversation with Dr. Zeest Khan, Stanford-trained anesthesiologist, patient advocate, and Long COVID educator, exploring medical gaslighting, healthcare bias, misinformation, and the challenges of navigating chronic illness when medicine does not have all the answers.

Dr. Khan explains why patients with complex conditions such as Long COVID are sometimes dismissed by healthcare professionals. Drawing from her experiences as both a physician and a patient, she discusses how medical training, physician burnout, healthcare system pressures, and the fear of admitting uncertainty can contribute to medical gaslighting. She also addresses how gender bias, racial discrimination, and weight stigma can influence the quality of patient care.

The conversation examines the growing problem of medical misinformation, particularly surrounding Long COVID, COVID-19 vaccines, and emerging treatments. Dr. Khan shares practical strategies for identifying unreliable health information, recognizing exaggerated medical claims, evaluating the credentials of online experts, and finding trustworthy sources of scientific information. She emphasizes why understanding the limitations of medical research is essential when navigating a condition that scientists are still working to understand.

Dr. Tovar and Dr. Khan also explore the connection between Long COVID and other post-viral conditions, including myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS), fibromyalgia, and other complex chronic illnesses. They discuss how lessons from existing research and the experiences of patients with longstanding conditions may help advance our understanding of Long COVID.

The episode concludes with a message of hope, resilience, and patient empowerment. Dr. Khan encourages individuals living with chronic illness to seek appropriate support, communicate openly with healthcare providers, prioritize their needs, and recognize that recovery experiences can differ from person to person.

You Will Learn About:

• What medical gaslighting is and why patients with chronic illness may experience it
• How medical training and physician burnout can contribute to patient dismissal
• The impact of gender bias, racial discrimination, and weight stigma in healthcare
• Why physicians sometimes struggle to acknowledge medical uncertainty
• How to recognize medical misinformation and misleading treatment claims
• Red flags in online health advice, including exaggerated promises and emotional language
• Why evaluating a medical expert's credentials and area of expertise matters
• How to identify trustworthy Long COVID information and research
• The relationship between Long COVID, ME/CFS, and other post-viral illnesses
• Why patient advocacy and communication are essential when managing chronic illness

In Part 1 of the ANEW Insight Podcast, Dr. Supatra Tovar sits down with Dr. Zeest Khan, Stanford-trained anesthesiologist, patient advocate, and long COVID educator, for a deeply personal and medically informed conversation about what happens when a physician suddenly becomes the patient.

Dr. Khan shares how her life changed after developing long COVID while working on the front lines of the pandemic. What initially seemed like a mild respiratory illness progressed into severe fatigue, shortness of breath, pain, and exercise intolerance. She continued working until her symptoms became so debilitating that she eventually had to step away from medicine and spent close to a year largely bedbound. Dr Zeest Khan part ONE Dr Zeest Khan part ONE

The conversation explores how living with chronic illness transformed Dr. Khan’s understanding of medicine. She describes the psychological and emotional burden of losing parts of one’s identity, productivity, and independence, and explains why chronic illness affects far more than the body. Dr. Tovar and Dr. Khan also discuss the stigma surrounding psychological support for people with long COVID and why seeking emotional care should never be interpreted as evidence that physical symptoms are “all in your head.” Dr Zeest Khan part ONE Dr Zeest Khan part ONE

The conversation also turns toward patient advocacy. Dr. Khan explains why simply telling a physician that you are tired or not sleeping well may not fully communicate the seriousness of the problem. She encourages patients to describe how symptoms are affecting their daily function, work, safety, and quality of life so that healthcare providers have a clearer picture of what is actually happening.

In Part 2 of the ANEW Insight Podcast, Dr. Supatra Tovar continues her conversation with Dr. Ami Bhatt, cardiologist, digital health strategist, Chief Innovation Officer at the American College of Cardiology, and Chair of the FDA Digital Health Advisory Committee. Their discussion moves beyond what AI can do and focuses on a more complex question: How do we use AI responsibly, equitably, and effectively in healthcare?

The conversation begins with health equity and bias in artificial intelligence. Dr. Bhatt explains that AI systems depend on data, and when healthcare datasets do not adequately represent the population, the algorithms built from them may also produce unequal results. She discusses the importance of improving representation in research and clinical trials so that future healthcare technologies better reflect the patients they are intended to serve. Dr Ami Bhatt part TWO

Dr. Tovar and Dr. Bhatt then explore how digital health, remote monitoring, and wearable technology may help expand access to care, particularly in rural and underserved communities. Dr. Bhatt describes how AI could support community health workers, pharmacists, and other trusted healthcare resources by helping identify which patients may need more urgent evaluation and directing them toward appropriate care. Dr Ami Bhatt part TWO

The discussion also examines the importance of representation in clinical research. Dr. Bhatt describes efforts to train clinicians in historically underrepresented communities to participate in clinical trials and explains why diverse research populations are essential when the resulting data may eventually be used to train AI systems. She also discusses how AI itself may help researchers identify more diverse participants for clinical studies. Dr Ami Bhatt part TWO

The conversation then turns to some of the emerging ethical concerns surrounding AI-generated health information. Dr. Bhatt raises questions about advertising appearing alongside medical information generated by AI tools and how difficult it may be for patients to separate health guidance from commercial messaging. She also reflects on how easily people can begin interacting with chatbots as though they were human, raising new questions about trust, relationships, and technology. Dr Ami Bhatt part TWO

You will learn about:

• How bias in healthcare data can affect artificial intelligence
• Why diverse clinical research matters for medical AI
• How AI may help reduce healthcare disparities
• How remote monitoring and wearables may expand access to care
• How AI may support community health workers and medical triage
• Why representation in clinical trials matters for future AI systems
• Ethical concerns surrounding AI-generated health information
• How advertising may influence patients using AI for medical questions
• AI, GLP-1 medications, eating disorders, and health messaging
• Why health literacy and digital literacy are increasingly important
• What it takes to implement AI across large healthcare systems
• Why earlier diagnosis is not always automatically better
• How AI-generated information may contribute to health anxiety
• Why responsible AI requires governance, infrastructure, and guardrails
• How prevention, wellness, and lifestyle remain central to healthcare
