It’s time for a more hopeful understanding of mental health. One that takes into consideration the modifiable root causes of our mental health, rather than simply seeing it as a genetic chemical Destiny. Drop a ❤️ if this resonates. . . . #anatomyofanxiety #mentalhealthsupport #mentalhealth #hope #mentalhealthawarenessmonth💚

Recorded this a few weeks ago during my last day of editing. I was so consumed with a feeling of overwhelm that I nearly forgot to savor it. Are you lucky enough to get to make your art? Do you remember to pause and savor that? . . . #bookwriting #bookediting #seasonofthewitch #writingabook #writinglife

Our #MentalHealth meds are failing us. Menopause, hormones, mental health, psyched*lics, inflammation, neuroplasticity, anxiety, midlife depression, and the spiritual dimensions of healing all belong in the room. NYC psychiatrist @EllenVora names what so many women already know in their bodies. Medication can be life-changing for some women. And many others are stuck halfway up the mountain of healing, hitting dead ends, with nowhere left to turn inside a system that has no bigger menu to offer. THIS is why the conversation around midlife mental health–especially for women– must expand. That’s exactly the gap we are here to close, especially for women in #perimenopause and menopause –– when anxiety, mood, identity, and the nervous system are all shifting at once in ways standard psychiatry still doesn’t have full language for. Join us for the FREE Midlife, Menopause & Mental Health Global Summit with a 2-day Symposium on #Microdosing & Psyched*lics for Women’s Health, featuring world-class voices in psychiatry, #menopause, women’s health, psychology and psyched*lic healing. DM WAITLIST and I’ll send you the details the moment doors open. #MenopauseMentalHealthSummit

What if healing involves more than what science can currently measure? If you’ve ever been told your symptoms are not real because your labs looked normal, your scan was clear, or there was “no evidence” to explain what you were feeling, this conversation may hit home. Modern medicine relies heavily on measurable data, and for good reason. Evidence matters. Standards matter. The scientific method has brought enormous progress. But according to Dr. Ellen Vora, we can also become too reliant on what can be quantified, especially when it leads us to dismiss lived experience that has not yet been fully studied or validated. This becomes especially important in women’s health, where subjective symptoms have often been minimized, pathologized, or ignored simply because the research had not caught up yet. That does not mean those experiences were not real. It means our systems were incomplete. In this episode, Dr. Ellen Vora explores the limits of evidence-based medicine, why anecdotal experience still matters, and how science can guide us without becoming the only lens through which we define truth, healing, and reality. What if the next evolution of medicine is not rejecting science… but learning where science stops? 🎙Clip from Podcast: hol+ by Dr. Taz MD featuring Dr. Ellen Vora 🎧Listen now on ALL podcast platforms 💬Comment “PODCAST” to get the link sent straight to your DM👇 and watch the full episode. #WomensHealth #IntegrativeMedicine #MentalHealth #FunctionalMedicine #healing

Why does anxiety support feel so overwhelming now? If you’ve ever looked at all the advice around anxiety and felt even more anxious, you’re not imagining it. There are now endless tools for anxiety. Apps, supplements, therapies, medications, devices, routines, and protocols. Some of them can absolutely help, but together they can also create the feeling that managing anxiety requires a full-time system. Dr. Ellen Vora offers a different lens. Instead of starting with everything the wellness world tells us to add, she points us back to what the body needs most. Sleep, nourishment, and movement are not extras. They are the foundation. In this episode, she explains why the growing anxiety toolbox can miss the bigger picture, how it can reinforce the idea that something is broken, and why the first step is often to restore the basics rather than stack more solutions on top. What if anxiety feels so hard to manage because we keep skipping the foundation? 🎙Clip from Podcast: hol+ by Dr. Taz MD featuring Dr. Ellen Vora 🎧Listen now on ALL podcast platforms 💬Comment “PODCAST” to get the link sent straight to your DM👇 and watch the full episode. #Anxiety #MentalHealth #FunctionalMedicine #HolisticHealing #stresssupport

Anxiety isn’t something to “fix” — it’s something to understand. In this week’s episode, I’m joined by Dr. Ellen Vora to talk about the root of anxiety and what it’s actually trying to tell us. And as you’ll hear, this has everything to do with how we experience money. We talk about the difference between true vs. false anxiety, why your body matters just as much as your thoughts, and what it can look like to build a healthier relationship with anxiety instead of constantly trying to outrun it. If you’ve ever felt stuck in that low-grade, always-on stress (especially when it comes to money), this conversation will feel like a breath of fresh air. 🎧 Listen wherever you get your podcasts #moneyisntscary #financialanxiety #moneymindset #mentalhealthmatters
