Feeling anxious? It’s not necessarily just in your head!
🧠 Anxiety can stem from several root causes, like:
🥲 Poor Digestion: A struggling gut affects SCFAs, hormones, and vagus nerve signaling, which can hit your mood hard.
😴 Sleep Issues: We all know the feeling after a bad night's sleep: cranky, irritable, and anxious. Lack of sleep ramps up anxiety in multiple ways.
🧬 Genetic Variations: Genes like MTHFR, COMT, and GAD can make detoxifying harder, increasing your anxiety risk.
🥑 Nutrient Deficiencies: Missing out on magnesium, B vitamins, omega-3s and other nutrients can impact neurotransmitters and stress management, fueling anxiety.
😡 Hormone Imbalances: Thyroid, adrenal, insulin, and s*x hormones can all influence your mood.
🔥 Inflammation: Chronic inflammation can mess with neurotransmitters and the HPA axis, contributing to anxiety.
It’s a lot to take in, but this is where a Nutritionist can support you! Let’s get to the root cause together ❤️
