from Less Stressed Life: Helping You Heal Yourself

Send us Fan Mail This week on the Less Stressed Life Podcast I had my super sassy, sarcastic friend Michelle Shapiro on to chat about anxiety, bridging the divisive gap between different spectrums of nutrition and long standing gut issues. We cover doing things in excess (which seems mildly fitting for this season :), hypervigilance, and changing brain chemistry. If you’ve ever had body or food relationship issues (btw that’s everyone!) I think you’ll find his episode entertaining.
