Tracey Marks MD

Kathryn interviews Author Tracey Marks MD.We hardly need to be reminded that anxiety is at an all-time high. School shootings, the never-ending covid train, politically charged divisiveness and climate change are in our face daily, and we’re expected to remain sane, calm and go about our lives. General and forensic psychiatrist, Dr. Tracey Marks, has written the book to help us navigate this 'new normal’. With expertise in perhaps the most newsworthy subject pervading our lives both personally and culturally, she is ready to address, advise and help heal our nation’s anxiety epidemic. She broadcasts to over a million followers weekly on her YouTube channel. Her mission is to increase mental health awareness and understanding by educating people about psychiatric disorders, mental health well being and self improvement. Dr.Marks has been featured on CNN and HLN for her forensic and general psychiatric commentary.Kathryn also interviews Author Joseph Pianka MD.The world is full of sexy advertisements, revolutionary gadgets and cutting-edge diets which all promise instant results. But these ads, gadgets and diets target a small subset of young, highly motivated, advanced enthusiasts, and often don’t address the real health and fitness issues that plague a larger aspect of society: obesity, anxiety and depression, liver disease, substance abuse, poor self-care practices. The vast majority of people don’t have the time to complete fitness regimens or the personalized motivation to stick with specialized diets. Dr. Pianka wants to start a conversation about every-day concepts that have made an enormous difference to himself and his patients. Facing physician burnout and depression, rather than writing another 'how to' manual, his book is a 'why to' guide through the complicated space of fitness and nutrition. As a practicing gastroenterologist in RI for over twenty years, he has evolved into an unexpected second career as an inspirational writer.
