Dr. Arthur Brooks' simple 60-second trick to kill anxiety "Anxiety is unfocused fear. Write down: 1. The #1 thing I'm actually afraid of right now 2. Why it's happening 3. What's the worst that could happen 4. What would I do if it did?" This moves the fear from... show more

Therapist Trey Tucker came on Relatable to talk about anxiety. I asked him, "If you could define anxiety, how would you define it?" Tucker: "Fear of the future. Fear of the unknown. The verse, 'Be still and know that I am God' used to make me so angry. I'm like, God, what do you mean be still? Like, I got a real problem here. I'm in a storm. Why do you want me to just be still? And what I realized is that the word, and I believe it's "Rapha" in the Hebrew, it doesn’t mean just ‘don’t move.’ It means ‘release your grip.’ The idea that I thought that I had control, that was a lie anyway. If I can start to realize like, yes, the circumstances might happen that are negative or I might be in the middle of a battle right now, but if I can loosen my grip and stop white knuckling it, then I can realize that like oh—God is God, not me, and He’s going to take care of me no matter what happens. That really is the solution to anxiety. It’s not changing your circumstances or slapping meds on it.”

The mind is a powerful place and what you feed it can affect you in a powerful way How tobi lutke got over his fear of public speaking: “I was terrified of public speaking until I sat down for like a week and every day I spent ten minutes just writing that I like public speaking.” “ If you tell yourself or write something down 100 times about yourself, that writes it into the prefrontal cortex at such a deep level that your brain will start reconciling you to that.” “It’s not a placebo. You actively change your prefrontal cortex.”

Most people have no idea what anxiety actually is. Here's the way I look at it... We've gotten really good at describing what anxiety feels like. Racing heart. Restlessness. Feeling on edge. But those are the symptoms, not necessarily what's driving them. A lot of the time, anxiety comes down to brain chemistry. Specifically, a rise in neurotransmitters called catecholamines. And if you have a COMT gene variant, your body may not clear them as efficiently, which can leave you feeling like you're stuck in fight or flight.

Why does it seem like attractive women always have stomach problems? Gary Brecka drops the connection: “Every woman that has stomach problems suffers from anxiety. They come from the same place.” He cites that 44% of women have the MTHFR gene mutation — impairing folic acid conversion — leading to consistent gut issues and anxiety. In his clinic (150,000+ patients): “I have never seen a woman that suffers from anxiety who did not also have gut issues.” Clip from this 37-second insight — tying chronic digestive problems, anxiety, and a common genetic variant together. Does this gut-anxiety-MTHFR link match what you’ve seen in real life? Or do you think it’s correlation being overstated? Your thoughts — drop them below 👇

Caleb Hammer reveals he rents a private jet to help him get over his panic attacks - "I burst down in tears. It's really bad." Caleb: "I'm trying to get over my fear of flights and I guess I'm rich now, so that's nice. Knock on wood with all." Chris: "Does that help you get over your fear of flights?" Caleb: "I rented a PJ. Tell me. That's a waste of money." Chris: "Is that easier or harder?" Caleb: "So, it's a control thing for me. I don't like being stuck in a situation that I can't control." Chris: "Do you know how to fly the PJ?" Caleb: "No, but I can say let's land. I can't do that with a commercial jet." Chris: "Well, you could make a big enough fuss, but it would be a real headache." Caleb: "And bad for my career, too. So, that would be a real headache." Chris: "Pause." Caleb: "Yeah." Chris: "What was the first time with your travel anxiety getting on a PJ? Like," Caleb: "It was—oh, the PJ itself, it was actually really bad when we filmed it, too. We filmed it. It's on the internet. I burst down in tears. It's really bad." Chris: "I'm sorry, man." Caleb: "Oh, it was anxiety. Like, that's not—" Chris: "Yeah, I don't think that you should dismiss it like that." Caleb: "But it's not like something bad happened to me, right? Like, anxiety is make-believe. It's not real. My brain thinks it's real, but it's not. So, I was crying. I was sad. But you know what was actually making me more sad and crying? A lot of people thought it was out of pure terror. It was remembering a lot of the things that I haven't done. A lot of the family I haven't visited because of my fear of travel."

Chris Voss on the gut feeling you should never ignore: The former FBI hostage negotiator says your body knows when someone is lying even before your conscious mind does. In the clip below, Christopher Voss explains the science his team is actively teaching: "Learn the difference between your gut and your amygdala for lack of a better term, your fear centers and know which one is which." He's drawing a critical distinction most people miss. The amygdala triggers panic, anxiety, and self-doubt. The gut, however, is something else entirely: "Your gut is ridiculously accurate. Our gut is being fed by all these different inputs that we're aware of or that we have yet to be made aware of." What kind of inputs? Voss gives a concrete example: "The tone of voice doesn't match their words. The head tilt." Your brain is already processing these micro-signals and routing them through your gut before you can consciously articulate what's wrong. As Voss puts it: "You've got a supercomputer in your brain." The problem isn't that people lack this instinct. It's that they override it: "As soon as you start listening to your gut, you can't explain it at the time but you got a bad feeling. And later on, you saw it. It all came together." That lag, the gap between the gut signal and the rational explanation is exactly why most people dismiss it. They wait for logical proof that never arrives in time. The lesson from one of the world's most experienced negotiators is surprisingly simple: the feeling in your stomach during a conversation isn't anxiety. It might be data.

I stood outside in Iraq while mortars fell and realized I had zero control over where the next one would land. I felt that same helplessness the day my son Mitch died. What got me through both was a verse I preached to myself until my mind believed it: "And he is before all things, and in him all things hold together." Colossians 1:17 (ESV) That's self-brain surgery. When you can't control your circumstances, your brain sounds the alarm on repeat. But your mind is in charge of your brain, and you get to choose what it rehearses. Every time you tell yourself the truth that Jesus is holding this, you strengthen a pathway of trust instead of panic. The fourth commandment of self-brain surgery is I must believe that my mind is in charge of my brain. It's hard and holy work. Save this for the day you need it, and share it with someone who's under fire right now. I'm your friend Dr. Lee Warren, hopefully your favorite brain surgeon.

Your brain cannot tell the difference between a disaster that is happening and one you are only rehearsing. That’s why worst-case-scenario thinking isn’t “just being prepared.” It is building a brain that learns how to stay afraid. Neuroplasticity means you don’t live with the brain you were born with. You live with the brain you keep building. Spend enough time in the spiral and your amygdala stays online while your frontal lobes, the part that actually solves problems, go quiet. Cortisol rises. Sleep drops. The thing you’re trying to avoid becomes more likely, not less. Two thousand years ago Paul already knew the move: don’t be anxious about anything, but in everything, with prayer and thanksgiving, present your requests to God (Philippians 4:6-7). Anxiety and gratitude turn opposite directions on the same volume knob. One goes up, the other goes down. Next time the “what if this ends in disaster” thought shows up, try the other question: “What if it works out?” Hit that follow button and we'll work together every day to connect neuroscience and scripture to help you thrive.

Your anxiety is literally keeping you awake at night — even when you’re dead tired. Matthew Walker explained that anxiety flips your fight-or-flight system on, making sleep almost impossible. His practical fixes: meditate to calm the nervous system, do a “worry journal” an hour before bed to dump racing thoughts, and if you’re not asleep in 15-20 minutes, get out of bed (don’t train your brain that bed = awake time). Studies show a simple worry journal can cut the time it takes to fall asleep by nearly 50%, and meditation significantly lowers fight-or-flight activity. These tools actually address the root cause instead of just masking it with pills. What’s one thing that actually helps you fall asleep when your mind won’t shut off?

I did a 7 hour brain reset No phone, no laptop, no books, NOTHING, just silence in a room. Here’s why and what happened: 1. no one can do this anymore. Our dopamine is fried and you know it. 2. It is extremely important to have brain clarity in these crazy AI times so I needed a brain reset. 3. I documented it so my friends can see that I’m not bullshiting them. 4. It was HARD. After the first hours your mind starts processing unconscious suppressed feelings. I missed my family, I was angry from stuff from 10 years ago, I unlocked lost memories. 5. It was extremely beneficial, felt like a new man at 2 PM, I started at 7 AM. 6. I did NOT go in the nature because the point is to have 0 sensory stimulation. The point was to be alone with my thoughts, not to enjoy nature. 7. This is the solution to reset many modern mind diseases and anxiety. 8. I challenge Bryan Johnson to do this. 9. I challenge you to do this. Do even 1 hour. It will make your life better. You will remember what it feels to be human again. I promise. Let me know your questions.

Andrew Huberman on why you can't think your way out of stress: Huberman is asked what he means when he says you cannot control the mind with the mind. His answer reframes how we should approach stress, anxiety, and emotional regulation entirely. "If you're very upset, it's hard to talk yourself out of it. If you're stressed, it's hard to think yourself out of it." He explains that when we're in heightened emotional states, we tend to default to mental strategies, rationalizing, "third personing" ourselves, texting a friend, trying to reason our way back to calm. But according to Andrew D. Huberman, Ph.D., this rarely works: "It's very hard to get yourself out of those states with thinking alone." The solution, he argues, lies not in the mind but in the body. "The beauty of the autonomic nervous system is that it traverses the brain and the body and it connects to essentially all the organs of the body. And it's a two-way street such that certain behaviors, even certain patterns of breathing etc. allow us to shift between very very alert and stressed and very calm." This two-way street is the key insight. The body doesn't just receive signals from the brain, it also sends them back. Shifting your physiology shifts your mental state, which in turn shifts the kinds of thoughts and actions available to you. "If you're very very stressed, you're very very upset, two things happen. One, it's very hard to take your focus off whatever it is that's upsetting you. And if you don't know what's upsetting you, you know, pure anxiety, but you don't know why, it's very hard to take your mind off of the feelings of anxiety." In other words, anxiety hijacks your attention and then traps you there. Trying to think your way out only tightens the grip. The way out is to move through the body first: "If we turn to the body and certain behaviors, we are able to move ourselves along the autonomic continuum. And at that point, when we've done that successfully, we are able to think about things differently." "If you can't control the mind with the mind, look to the body to control the mind."

In other words, anxiety hijacks your attention and then traps you there. Trying to think your way out only tightens the grip. The way out is to move through the body first: "If we turn to the body and certain behaviors, we are able to move ourselves along the autonomic continuum. And at that point, when we've done that successfully, we are able to think about things differently." "If you can't control the mind with the mind, look to the body to control the mind."
