Anxiety is the most prevalent mental health condition in the United States, affecting 1 in 3 of us at some point in our life. For many, it’s an all-consuming cycle of worry and fear that can upend careers, relationships, and the ability to perform basic daily tasks. 

But what if anxiety isn’t an inevitable part of modern life?

I sat down with Dr. Jud Brewer, a psychiatrist and neuroscientist whose groundbreaking work sheds light on how anxiety forms and how to break free. Drawing from his New York Times bestselling book, and his evidence-based tools, Dr. Jud explains how our brain’s habit loops fuel anxiety and how we can reclaim control.

If anxiety has ever held you back—or if you know someone who struggles with it—this should be mandatory listening. 

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• How our habits create and sustain anxiety cycles.
• Why trying to control anxiety can backfire—and what to do instead.
• What cutting-edge research reveals about psychedelics and anxiety treatment.

If you listen to 1 podcast this month, THIS IS IT.
