Webinar Summary
Anxiety can be debilitating. In this revealing documentary, patients share their personal struggles with anxiety, their experience with conventional medicine treatment approaches, and how working with healthcare practitioners that utilized personalized lifestyle medicine offered evidence-based alternatives to address the root causes of their condition.
