Episode Synopsis

What if your brain was never broken — just misunderstood?
In this deeply insightful episode of the Emotional Longevity Podcast, Dr. Elisha Goldstein sits down with neuroscientist Dr. Alex Korb — author of *The Upward Spiral* — to unpack what’s really happening inside your brain during depression, anxiety, and emotional spirals.
Together, they explore how your brain’s natural circuitry can trap you in self-criticism, overthinking, and paralysis — and how tiny, science-backed actions can rewire you toward calm, motivation, and joy.
You’ll also learn the surprising reason why high achievers often struggle more with downward spirals, and how acceptance and self-compassion activate healing at the neurological level.
