Anxiety doesn’t always look like panic. Sometimes it hides in insomnia, gut issues, brain fog, and a body that feels “wired but tired.” In this episode, Dr. Phil talks with nutritional psychiatrist and trained chef Dr. Uma Naidoo about the science behind nutritional psychiatry using food and nutrients alongside therapy and medication to support mental well-being.Dr. Phil and Dr. Naidoo break down the gut–brain connection in plain language: how chronic stress can disrupt the microbiome, increase inflammation, and intensify anxiety and depression symptoms. Dr. Naidoo also explains why anxiety surged during the pandemic and why it hasn’t fully dropped back down pointing to ongoing stress, uncertainty, and the way modern eating patterns can keep the nervous system on edge. Based on Dr. Naidoo’s work and books including This Is Your Brain on Food and Calm Your Mind with Food this conversation is a science-forward guide for anyone who wants a better mood, better sleep, and a brain that feels more in control.

Tom Homan has spent more than 40 years in law enforcement.He didn't have to come back. But he did because he believes in the mission and the people carrying it out. When Dr. Phil sat down with him in January, a major story was just breaking. A lot has happened since. Homan was dispatched toMinneapolis to take control of a difficult situation, worked directly with local officials to bring things to a close, and has spent the months since navigating one of the most intense periods in the history of border enforcement. Through all of it, he has remained focused on one thing... the safety of the American people and the men and women putting their lives on the line every day to protect it. Dr. Phil gives him the space to speak for himself, talk about what he's learned, and share why,  through all the noise,  he believes the work matters.Thank you to our sponsors that made this episode possible:You Can Do It Foundation supports meaningful media that reflects faith, family, personal responsibility, and freedom.

Braun Levi was an 18-year-old senior and standout tennis player at Loyola High School in California with a bright future ahead, including a planned college tennis career. On May 4, 2025, while walking with a friend in Manhattan Beach, he was struck and killed by a vehicle driven by a woman allegedly under the influence of alcohol and driving on a suspended license. The impact of his death rippled through his school, family, and community, sparking grief and calls for change. His parents later established the Live Like Braun Foundation to honor his legacy and raise awareness about the dangers of impaired driving. In early 2026, the woman accused in the crash pled not guilty to murder and other felony counts, with prosecutors alleging her blood-alcohol level was more than twice the legal limit at the time of the collision. Braun’s story is one of a promising young life cut tragically short, and of a family channeling grief into advocacy and a broader push to prevent similar losses.Thank you to our sponsors for helping to make this episode happen:The You Can Do It Foundation supports meaningful media that reflects faith, family, personal responsibility, and freedom.
