S1 EP 12: The 3 Foundations to Healing Anxiety
In this podcast, I am talking about three core areas of the holistic anxiety fix program which is a mind-body way of healing. The first phase is resetting your mindset. In mindset reset, we look at more of tangible approaches to heal anxiety like mindfulness, breathwork, and cognitive behavioral therapy. The next phase to healing anxiety at a foundational level is to look at hidden physiological causes. It’s really important to look at a broad range of issues. These include the gut-brain connection, the brain-to-gut connection, blood sugar levels, foods that balance your hormones, fat absorption issues in women, and inflammatory foods that might trigger your anxiety. In the next phase, we look at mineral imbalance in the body. If you’re depleted in minerals, a deeper level of healing is never going to happen.

S1 EP 0: The Most Important Question: Can you Actually Heal Your Anxiety?
Imagine what your life could be like if you healed your anxiety rather than merely managing it. Anxiety is a natural response to stress and is often a fearful anticipation of what is to come. But when the anxiety response becomes so heightened, it starts to impact our day to day functioning, it is a sign that deeper levels of healing need to take place. We become more empowered when we heal the deeper causes of anxiety so that we can embrace life with calm confidence, and become the best versions of ourselves.
