Hello and welcome to the OCD and Anxiety podcast with Robert James. In this episode Robert explains how prolonged stress and rumination—driven by OCD and anxiety—can drain your energy by affecting mitochondria and keeping your body in a threat response. He outlines why constant checking and resistance are metabolically costly, and offers compassionate, practical guidance on redirecting that energy: allowing discomfort, reducing the fight-or-flight response, and gradually rebuilding presence and connection with the life you value
