Hey there,
The latest episode of Solved just dropped: How to Overcome Anxiety, Solved
Anxiety is one of the most common things people deal with—and one of the most mismanaged. Not because people aren't trying, but because a lot of the things people reach for when they're anxious feel helpful in the moment but make things worse over time.
In this episode, Drew and I went through 17 of the most popular anxiety interventions—medication, exercise, alcohol, journaling, reassurance-seeking, sleep, therapy, meditation, breathwork, and more—and ranked them from most to least effective based on what the research actually says.
Some of the results are counterintuitive. Things people rely on daily didn't hold up well under scrutiny. And some of the most effective interventions are ones people actively avoid—because they're uncomfortable.
If you've been trying to manage anxiety and feel like nothing quite sticks, this episode will give you a much clearer picture of why—and what to try instead.

Hope you enjoy the episode.
And if you do, pass it on to someone who could use it too.
