Regardless of which side you’re on, chances are, you’re keyed up for election night. To quell these anxieties, Ryan and Katie solicit the advice of three medical professionals for how to stay calm and healthy during election night, the best ways to engage family members with different political views, and what to do if the results don’t turn out the way you’d hoped. The episode features advice from:

• Dr. James Berry, chair of behavioral medicine and psychiatry at the West Virginia University Rockefeller Neuroscience Institute
• Malia Susee, a licensed acupuncturist based in Portland, Oregon
• Maret Pfohman, a psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner at Hilltop Behavioral Health Center in Clackamas County, Oregon
