Anxiety and Stress

What is anxiety?

Definition: a feeling of worry, nervousness, or unease, typically about an imminent event or something with an uncertain outcome.

There is much that can be done about anxiety by handling nutritional deficiencies. Stress can rob your body of essential vitamins.

We always recommend you take the approach of building health.

“We need to shift our focus from treating disease to generating health…” Hippocrates “The Father of Medicine” 460 BC – 380 BC)

B Vitamins are essential, mostly B1 but you need other B vitamins – taking isolated B vitamins will not help. (Suggested is Natural Bs – Nutritional Yeast)

Vitamin C – a real whole food natural vitamin can be found in the Dr. Berg’s Vitamin C. This is not ascorbic acid (which is really just on part of the vitamins C complex) It is a food product that your body recognizes as food and assimilates.

Tart Cherry

I found out about Tart Cherry as it was used along with other supplements to help people get off of psychiatric drugs.   One of the side effects is anxiety.

The anxiety could be thought of as return of symptoms when the drug was given for that, but it was found that taken a person off of the drug too quickly would create anxiety.

We found that taking tart cherry during the withdrawal really helped.  And then found out it is good for anyone wanting to address anxiety.

Tart Cherry capsules are available at the Health Food store or even online (get a good brand) and you can also find it in a liquid form.  The capsules can be taken during the day every four hours and can even be increased to 2 every four hours.  The Liquid works really well taken before bed.  Helps your sleep.

What is Stress

Nervous energy and low tolerance to stress. What is needed to turn this around? Do you frequently get irritated and agitated? Do people often get on your nerves? Do you feel like there’s this energy buildup that can’t come out? Do you excessively worry? Have you been overthinking lately? If your answer to all of these is yes, then you might just have some adrenal issues.

Chronic Stress Adrenals and Anxiety

Do you frequently get irritated and agitated? Do people often get on your nerves? Do you feel like there’s this energy buildup that can’t come out? Do you excessively worry? Have you been overthinking lately?

If your answer to all of these is yes, then you might have some adrenal issues.

Natural beta blockers help reduce the effects of stress and anxiety. Chronic stress and your adrenal glands go hand-in-hand. When you’re constantly under stress, your adrenal glands produce more of the hormone cortisol. Cortisol is a natural steroid that helps you respond to stress. It gives you energy and keeps you alert. But when it’s produced in excess, it can negatively affect your health, including weight gain, high blood pressure, and heart disease. Natural beta blockers help to reduce the amount of cortisol produced in response to stress, which can help reduce the effects of stress on your body.

They can be taken in pill form or as a natural supplement. Some of the best natural beta blockers include:

-valerian root
-passionflower
-lemon balm
-holy basil
-ashwagandha

These natural remedies can be found at most health food stores. If you are considering taking a natural beta blocker, it is important to speak with your healthcare provider first to ensure it is safe for you.

The adrenal glands are the two little glands atop our kidneys and they’re responsible for our adaptability to stress. However, when stress accumulates over time, it can wear them down, leading to low-stress tolerance. It’s either the adrenals have gotten weak or they have worked too much. That’s why you appear to have chronic stress and anxiety You tend to have a higher level of cortisol, the stress hormone, in your body. Your adrenals are also more sensitive to cortisol feedback loops.

If you’re an adrenal body type, you likely have some of the following characteristics:

– You’re always on the go and find it hard to relax
– You have difficulty falling asleep and often wake up feeling exhausted
– You crave salt, sugar and caffeine
– You feel anxious, irritable or even panicked when under pressure
– You’re easily overwhelmed by life’s demands
– You tend to feel better when you’re busy and worse when you’re resting
– You may suffer from adrenal fatigue or burnout

One way to address this is to use nutritional supplements, especially the Adrenal & Cortisol Relief This supplement is specially formulated to reinvigorate and support the adrenal glands. Within 10 minutes, you’ll be surprised to feel extra calm and patient than usual.

Discover the Secret of Being Calm
When Stressed with High Cortisol – Understand Adrenal Stress 

Ongoing stress and anxiety can sabotage your confidence, give you a knotting feeling in the stomach, and impact your general well-being. Whenever that happens, we usually just keep on pushing through, when all that does is burn us out, drain our productivity, and lead to exhaustion

Cortisol and adrenaline are the primary stress hormones that your adrenal glands produce.

The adrenal glands have an outside and an inside. The inside part of the adrenals is made up of neurological tissue—this is the part that releases adrenaline. The outside is made up of glandular tissue—this is the part that releases cortisol.

Both of these hormones help adapt your body to stress. The more stress you experience, the more your adrenal glands are activated and release stress hormones.

Your body does not handle prolonged stress well; it’s meant to handle short bursts of stress, not chronic stress.

The sympathetic nervous system is the part of your nervous system that handles your fight-or-flight mode. Your parasympathetic nervous system is the part of your nervous system that handles rest and digest mode.

Stress isn’t always a bad thing—it’s what helps you progress and adapt to life. However, getting stuck in chronic stress can cause many issues throughout the body.

The effects of stress can include:

• Poor sleep

• High heart rate

• High blood pressure

• Arterial inflammation

• Cortisol resistance

• Lowers immune function and inactivates the natural killer T-cells

• Increased cancer risk

• Poor memory

• Brain fog

• Increased risk of nutrient deficiencies (K+, B1, H+)

• Alkalosis

• Breathing problems

• Catabolic effects (breakdown of muscle)

• Bone loss

• Poor kidney filtration

• Increased blood sugar

• High insulin

• Digestive issues, including ulcers

• Increased belly fat

• Low vitamin D

How to stay calm:

1. Do physical work or exercise

2. Stay in action

3. Take vitamin B1, vitamin D, magnesium, and potassium

4. Get on a Healthy Keto and intermittent fasting plan

5. Take herbal adaptogens

6. Do breathing exercises

7. Try acupressure stress extraction techniques (See Anti-Stress Kit)

Your Gut & Your Metabolism 

One of the things that leads to deficiencies and tired adrenals can be your metabolism.

When it comes to behavior, focus, or emotional ups and downs, most of us are told that we should look at the brain first. Science research, however, now shows the brain isn’t working alone.

In fact, your child’s gut, often called the “second brain,” plays a big role in how they feel, how they react, and other responses.  This is because the gut and brain are connected by a powerful communication system, often referred to as the gut-brain axis.

When the gut is out of balance, everything from mood to meltdowns can be affected. Studies have shown that a large percentage of people with these symptoms experience issues related to this gut and their metabolism
