Short promotional/transcript excerpt of a YouTube sizzle reel featuring Dr. Don Wood (PhD). Dr. Wood presents a provocative claim that anxiety and other mental-health symptoms are symptoms—'glitches'—rooted in unresolved trauma which creates inflammation leading to disease. He describes his work helping high achievers (entrepreneurs, CEOs, athletes, celebrities) through trauma resolution and brain 'recoding' to improve performance, and critiques common treatments like medication as merely numbing symptoms.

I'm going to blow your mind with what I'm going to tell you. It'll change your whole idea of what mental illness is. Anxiety is not your problem. Anxiety is the symptom of a problem. Anxiety, depression, post traumatic stress, panic attacks. It's a glitch. What I have discovered through the research is that unresolved trauma creates inflammation. Inflammation is the root cause of disease. We're excited to have this conversation with Dr. Don Woods. I'm joined by the fabulous Dr. Don Wood. The legendary Dr. Don Wood. Dr. Don Wood, PhD.

You guys are in for a real treat. Anxiety is an email coming into your inbox with information that it wants you to look at. What do you do? Delete, delete, delete. You don't deal with it. Anytime you have an emotion, a feeling or a sensation, your mind is calling for an action. What's the purpose of fear? Run. Escape. What's the purpose of anger? Attack. It has to activate the nervous system. What do we do to help people with that? Pills. Pop pills. What are we doing when we pop the pills? Numbing it. That's never going to fix the problem. Anxiety is a part of being an entrepreneur. You're all entrepreneurs, right? The question is, where's the anxiety coming from? The key to fixing this is to get to the root cause, which is the trauma. Reset that and then recode your brain. And your brain will recode when it's not stressed. So this is a story that I tell and this will be story that you're going to use when something stresses you out. I guarantee you're going to start using this.
