Episode 7 - Am I Dying? Coping with Health Anxiety with Denise Fonseca

Author: Angela Spignese May 19, 2020 Duration: 53:29

Have you ever had the feeling that certain physical symptoms will lead to death and you can't stop thinking about them? In this episode I interview my good friend Denise Fonseca who is an avid mental health/public health activist. She shares with us her journey with health anxiety, it's connection to grief/trauma and her coping mechanisms and resources.  She also breaks down the signs of health anxiety for those of you who have never heard of it before. I want to emphasize that none of us are professionals and that ultimately you should seek a mental health professional for continued support and an official diagnosis.   Online Therapy Resource: 7 Cups--https://www.7cups.com/ Please check out Denise and her fabulous Instagram stories at: @denise_denise7 Produced by the amazing Mark Damon: @dahkmamon Please check me out on these other platforms for more info on similar topics:  Instagram: @salsasolfood  YouTube: Angela Spignese


Angela Spignese hosts Salsa Sol Food, a space where health conversations feel more like a chat with a good friend than a clinical lecture. Born from her own long journey navigating puzzling chronic symptoms, this podcast explores the interconnected layers of well-being-what she calls the Salsa Sol Food approach. Here, healing isn't about a single miracle cure but the vibrant mix of moving your body, practicing genuine self-care, and choosing foods with intention. Each episode blends Angela's personal stories with practical insights, all delivered with a refreshing dose of humor and lightness. You'll find that laughter is considered just as essential as any supplement. Whether discussing alternative fitness ideas, mindful eating beyond trends, or the mental shifts needed for sustainable health, the tone remains grounded and relatable. This isn't about perfection; it's about finding your own rhythm in the chaos. Tune in for a podcast that reminds you that caring for your body and mind can be both a serious commitment and a genuinely joyful exploration.
