E112 - The Mind Body Connection

Which came first? No, not the chicken and the egg. Which came first, your cardiovascular issues, or your anxieties, your weight issues, or your stressors? People usually don't pay attention to the relationship between the mind and the body, between the challenges to your peace, the food you eat and the way that you eat it, and the health conditions you are dealing with as a result. Often physical issues and mental health issues are a dual diagnosis, and often they are most effectively improved when treated together. As Mental Heath Awareness Month opens, Dr. Kim Lannon opens discussion of the mind and body connection.
