Hart2Heart with Dr. Mike Hart ·

2026/04/16

Dr. Mike Hart interviews Dr. Russell Kennedy about chronic anxiety as a childhood safety adaptation that never turns off, driven more by a body-based "alarm" than by thinking. Kennedy explains why understanding anxiety and talk-based cognitive approaches often have limited effect because subcortical systems communicate through feeling; alarm sensations trigger the mind to generate worries, which can become dopamine-reinforced and addictive. He discusses sensitivity (often cited as 15–20% of the

The script explains why fiber is critical for gut and metabolic health, focusing on how soluble fiber is fermented in the colon to produce short-chain fatty acids (butyrate, propionate, acetate).

It highlights research showing 10 g/day psyllium husk (Metamucil) is linked to a 10% reduction in

Dr. Roger McFillin argues that Western allopathic medicine and psychiatry have medicalized normal human suffering by reducing emotions to biological or chemical reactions, turning symptom checklists into fixed identities, and sustaining a drug-driven "sick care" system that creates lifelong customers. He contrasts this with viewing emotions as powerful energy meant to be moved into creation and transformation, cites psychoneuroimmunology, and warns that suppressing fear and distress with
