The most dangerous trend in mental health today isn’t anxiety itself—it’s how we’ve been taught to think about it. Dr. Caroline Leaf, a leading neuroscientist and author of “Help in a Hurry,” reveals why 100% of people experience anxiety and how the current medical model of labeling and diagnosing mental health “disorders” creates more harm than healing. Through groundbreaking research spanning 40 years, she shares her most vulnerable discovery: we are 99% mind and 1% brain, making every thought we think a physical force that either builds or destroys our cellular health. The conversation takes a powerful turn when she explains her 63-day healing protocol that has helped thousands rewire toxic thought patterns, proving that what we’ve been told about mental health has been fundamentally backwards—and how anyone struggling with overwhelm, anxiety, or stress today holds the power to transform their mind and heal their body.

"Anxiety is a very normal emotion. It's a warning signal telling us that something needs attention in our life. Where it becomes a problem is when we don't deal with it, when we don't manage it."

And now let’s jump into episode 1785 of The School of Greatness!

Some Questions I Ask:

  • From a neuroscience standpoint, what is the root cause of anxiety and why do you feel like it’s amplified so much in recent years?
  • Is there any value in self-diagnosis or is that more harmful than valuable when putting a label on yourself?
  • What would you say then is the root cause of anxiety for most people?
  • But what about if we go to a mental health specialist and they give a diagnosis—is that helpful or hurtful?
  • How many thoughts do we have a day on average?
  • How do you change what a negative thought looks like or a negative experience or memory?
  • Do we have to forgive ourselves or forgive others in order to heal a memory that is hurting us?
  • What do those 63 days look like for rewiring your mind or your brain to heal or forgive?

In this episode, you will learn:

  • Why anxiety is your brain’s warning system, not a disease, and how to read its signals correctly
  • The shocking truth about self-diagnosis culture and why labeling yourself creates the exact problems you’re trying to solve
  • How your thoughts become physical networks in your brain and body within seconds
  • Why 35-98% of all physical illnesses originate from toxic thinking patterns
  • The exact 63-day process neuroscientists use to rewire trauma and heal emotional wounds
