Hi, I’m Dr. Air, an integrative psychiatrist and lifestyle medicine physician. This channel is for adults over 40 who feel anxious, "wired but tired," overwhelmed, or stuck on medications that aren't working.

Midlife anxiety is different—it’s driven by changing hormones, metabolism, and inflammation. Here, I help you move beyond "more meds" to find root-cause relief through evidence-based psychiatry, integrative care, and nervous system regulation.

I explain the root causes of anxiety in the midlife brain. We talk about hormones, nervous system health, burnout, stress, mitochondria, inflammation, and gut-brain health for anxiety.

Disclaimer: The content presented in this channel does not establish a physician-patient relationship. It is for educational purposes only and not intended to be medical advice from me. Please see your doctor if you have any medical or mental health issues. Call 911 or go to the nearest ER if you have thoughts of hurting yourself or others.

Xanax can feel like a quick fix for anxiety, but for many women in perimenopause, it can quietly make symptoms worse. This video explains why rebound anxiety happens after 40 and what actually helps long term. Watch here: https://youtu.be/0ShG3RKTeS0


Did your anxiety change after starting Xanax?

1. Better

2. Worse

3. No change

4. Never tried it
