This week Sean and Ed talked about anxiety. In Sean’s own words, anxiety is the single biggest issue affecting the health and well being of the people of planet earth. Would 30 minutes really be enough time to put this one to bed? We gave it a good go…

• Spring had arrived! We discuss the British obsession with the weather
• Sean’s 13 Day Detox
• Angelina Jolie and her decision to have a double mastectomy
• Chris Hadfield is a (now) famous astronaut that was live-tweeting photos from space.
• Interesting research into why identical twins can take such different life paths.
• Anxiety defined
• Sean talked about the brain, specifically the limbic system and the amygdala
• The anatomy of disgust (video) – why do we react emotionally to certain things?
• The Rewinding Technique

• Ed recommended an iPhone (and now web) app called Lift. It allows you to track, monitor and nurture good habits in your life. Sign up and search for Edward Lamb and you can see how I’m doing. Sean is using it with some of his clients too with very interesting and positive results.
• Sean talked about a book called The Green Pharmacy Herbal Handbook by James A Duke.
