Podcast | See Your Fluctuating Moods as a Strength, not a Weakness

Holland, Julie

Medicating away our moods—or numbing them with food or alcohol—doesn’t just keep us from addressing the real issues. It also interferes with our ability to be empathic, intuitive and aware of our capabilities. In 30 minutes, Julie Holland, M.D., a psychiatrist and author of Moody Bitches, shares insider information about the drugs we’re being offered and the direct link between food and mood. She’ll also offer practical advice on sex, exercise and sleep strategies, as well as some surprisingly effective natural therapies.
