Since 1950, rates of anxiety and depression have rapidly increased in the U.S. and around the globe, to the point that we now have a mental health crisis on our hands. Improvement in testing and diagnosis does not explain this increase. Rather, changes in our diet, environment, and lifestyle are believed to explain this rapid increase.\\xa0

Our brains are constantly changing (neuroplasticity) and growing (neurogenisis). Cutting edge research shows us that the linkage between our brain and the \\u201cneurotoxic environment\\u201d we currently live in is leading to a weakened brain, causing us to experience heightened levels of anxiety, depression, and cognitive decline.\\xa0

This week on the podcast, I\\u2019m speaking with Dr. Brant Cortright, clinical psychologist and professor emeritus at the California Institute of Integral Studies. In his recent book \\u201cHolistic Healing for Anxiety, Depression, and Cognitive Decline,\\u201d he discusses the link between our \\u201cneurotoxic environment\\u201d and our mental health.\\xa0

Most importantly, we have a deep conversation about how we all can begin to reverse these effects. You won\\u2019t want to miss this episode. Your brain will thank you!\\xa0
