Have you or a loved one ever suffered from anxiety or depression? Did the pandemic make it even more challenging? In the United States, we are seeing the highest numbers of anxiety that we’ve ever experienced. We are still in the midst of the repercussions of the crisis of the pandemic. More people are worried and panicked than ever before. Today, we offer hope and solutions with Psychologist Gregory Jantz, Ph.D., the founder of The Center: A Place of Hope, which was voted one of the top 10 facilities in the United States for the treatment of depression. He discusses how even when we feel stress, anxious, or hopeless, there are ways to feel better. He talks about the importance of getting bloodwork and regulating vitamins and hormones, which can be done using natural methods. He also discusses the importance of good protein, proper exercise including walking, and having a restful sleep. He talks about how important it is to have healthy bacteria in the gut and how our gut is directly connected to our brain and emotions. Finally, he discusses that it is vital to our mental health to practice good self-care. He offers suggestions such as keeping a gratitude journal, limiting our intake of negative news, changing our mind state away from anger, and how we must ask ourselves to begin to make healthy choices and behaviors. Dr Jantz is the best-selling author of “The Anxiety Reset: A Life-Changing Approach to Overcoming Fear, Stress, Worry, Panic Attacks, OCD, and More.” Info: aplaceofhope.com.
