Anxiety or Nah?
Anxiety affects millions of people every single day. Due to the influence of the COVID-19 pandemic, 59% of people report suffering a moderate mental health impact, and more than half are women. In today’s episode, hosts Vince and Erica analyze and find the root causes of their anxiety.
Anxiety often comes from more than one root source, and most people don’t know what those sources are. When they go to traditional doctors and are diagnosed with anxiety, they’re often just given medication. To get to the root sources and overcome anxiety, people should try a deductive approach and look at their overall health, diet, lifestyle, and stressors.
Tune into this week’s episode to learn about the impact of cortisol, the deductive approach to managing anxiety, and the different possible sources that can cause anxiety.
Quotes
• “According to the latest national survey, 59% of people report having a moderate negative mental health impact from COVID.” (19:35-19:48 | Vince)
• “If you have more than 7 or 10 bouts a week of restlessness, fatigue, irritability, excessive worry, and poor sleep, that puts you in the category of general GAD. If it’s less than that, you’re probably in a temporary state.” (21:55-22:30 | Vince)
• “Most people don’t know where their anxiety is coming from. Anxiety can be physiologic, mental, genetic, and it can be emotional or spiritual. It can be very hard to find the source.” (25:15-25:47 | Vince)
• “Looking at your lifestyle and your stress management is always the biggest thing and seeing where we can tailor back. Slowing down, tapping into the parasympathetic, breathing exercises, gratitude, yoga, stretching, things like that. That’s where I start off with.” (29:11-29:25 | Erica)
• “Don’t think anxiety is one thing. People are saying, “Oh, anxiety is just your neurotransmitter imbalance, so just take this medicine and that will fix the source of the problem.” I’m saying the imbalance is the symptom of the problem and so now we need to seek out the root.” (31:50-32:32 | Vince)
• “It’s a process of elimination. First, we look at their diet, their lifestyle, what their stressors are. One of the things that you’ve taught me is the tool belt scenario. We’ve got all of these tools in the tool belt. If we were gonna build a table, we can’t use every single tool for step one because it’s just not gonna work. We have to use them sporadically. So, I look at things like managing your anxiety or your weight loss or your hormonal processes, we gotta use tools very methodically and spread them out. We can’t use them all at once, so we tackle one thing at a time, see how that works, and we move on to the next one.” (34:00-34:46 | Erica)
