Do you have persistent acid reflux or heartburn? I do and it's awful. Do you suffer from constipation or stomach bloating? Are you feeling anxious much of the time or exhausted? The answer is "yes" to all of the above for me. Are these things interconnected? You bet they are! What's causing my discomfort is a hiatal hernia. Dr. Vikki Peterson told me all about it in our chat. Dr. Vikki Petersen, certified clinical nutritionist, chiropractor, and certified functional medicine practitioner tell us how these symptoms are often due to hiatal hernias. In her book, “Hiatal Hernia Syndrome: Many Symptoms, One Cause” (September 2021), Dr. Vikki Petersen finds the root causes, symptoms and treatments for hiatal hernias. I'm so excited to read it. Check out Dr. Peterson's clinic - Root Cause Medical Clinic here: https://www.rootcausemedicalclinics.com/

Drew is the creator and host of The Anxious Truth, a slightly unorthodox anxiety podcast that’s been in full swing since 2015. With over 500,000 downloads (and growing), The Anxious Truth has spawned a large, vibrant and engaged social media community of amazing humans supporting, inspiring, encouraging and empowering each other to overcome anxiety and fear. Having suffered with anxiety, panic disorder, agoraphobia, and depression several times over a 20 year period, Drew got it together once and for all in 2008. Since then life has been happy, productive, and “normal” (although we’d all be hard pressed to define normal at times). For the last 15 years Drew has been active in the online anxiety community, working to use his experience and understanding to help those that are following down the path he’s travelled. His no-nonsense approach to these problems and willingness to provide direct, actionable advice even when it might not be easy to hear, has established him as a unique voice in the community.

I'm an entrepreneur, CEO, father, husband who's on a mission to destigmatize the conversation on mental health. As someone who has battled depression and experienced the healing powers of psychedelics, I believe everyone deserves to find their own mental health balance, and the more knowledge one has, the more empowered they are to find it. Professionally, I have worked in the media and conferences industry since 2000, generating revenue, developing strategy, managing talent and executing growth plans. I have significant experience in technology, retail, consumer goods, financial services, energy, food & beverage, healthcare, defense, government, wellness and professional services. In 2012, I launched Momentum, a forward-thinking events company that relentlessly pursue future trends impacting the industries and professions that move markets. Today, I am dedicating the second act of my entrepreneurial life to busting the mental health stigma and finding creative ways to increase access and affordability
