If you've ever felt out of control with your thinking and emotions you aren't alone, according Dr. Caroline Leaf.

Leaf, author of the newly revised book Who Switched Off My Brain? Controlling Toxic Thoughts and Emotions, says the way we think can significantly impact our physical health and well-being.

She explained that negative emotions and stress create chemical patterns in the brain that continue to lead you down dangerous roads of thinking and action.

Leaf talked more about how these "toxic" thoughts can lead to health problems on the CBN News Channels Midday News, July 11.
