Ellen Vora, MD is a holistic psychiatrist, acupuncturist, and yoga teacher who takes a functional medicine approach to mental health—considering the whole person and addressing imbalance at the root.

She is the author of The Anatomy of Anxiety.

In this episode, we talk about how a holistic psychiatrist helps patients, what’s the difference between the holistic and conventional approach, how to distinguish between false and true anxiety, how the phases of our menstrual cycles impact our anxiety, and so much more!
