Regulate & Rewire: An Anxiety & Depression Podcast

Is Your Gut Triggering Your Anxiety? Understanding Bottom-Up Panic


Listen Later

Can anxiety start... in your gut? Triggered by a listener's experience linking a gut cleanse to panic attacks, this episode dives deep into the powerful gut-brain connection. Discover how physiological issues—from microbiome imbalances to inflammation—can ignite anxiety symptoms from the "bottom-up," often before any anxious thought occurs. Learn why this happens and gentle strategies to support both your gut and brain health for better mental wellbeing.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

  • How the gut and brain communicate through the nervous system
  • How gut disruptions can lead to anxiety or panic
  • Why anxiety often begins in the body (and how to reframe it as information)
  • Practical ways to support your gut and mental health together

3 Takeaways:

  1. Anxiety Can Start "Bottom-Up": Gut disruptions can directly cause anxiety symptoms, not just thoughts.
  2. Gut Health Matters for Mental Health: Gentle, consistent support is often key, be cautious with harsh cleanses.
  3. Reframe Anxiety as Information: View symptoms as signals of an underlying imbalance needing support.

Resources Mentioned:

  • Healing Through the Vagus Nerve (see pages 40-41 for the gut-brain connection)
