Description: 

In this episode of The Health Anxiety Podcast, Dennis dives into the latest science on how the brain fuels health anxiety and what you can do about it. We’ll explore why fear memory networks make symptoms feel so real, how metacognitive beliefs about worrying keep you stuck, and the surprising role of wearables, apps, and digital tools in either calming or amplifying anxiety.

You’ll learn:

  • How the brain stores illness fears and triggers false alarms

  • Why worrying about worrying can become the real trap

  • The pros and cons of smartwatches, trackers, and health data

  • How VR, chatbots, and digital programs are shaping health anxiety treatment

  • Practical steps you can try this week to retrain your nervous system

This is a fresh, research-backed look at health anxiety that combines science with real-life healing tools. If you’ve ever wondered why your symptoms keep shifting, or how to use technology without feeding your fears, this episode is for you.
