Why Your Body Won’t Let You Relax: When Mindset Work Isn't Enough


Listen Later

If you’re tired of being told your anxiety is "all in your head," this episode is for you. Dr. Rachel Yeager explores why anxiety is often a physical alarm—not a mindset flaw.

Discover how physiological triggers like blood sugar drops, mineral deficiencies, and gut inflammation create feelings of dread and "wired" energy. Learn why you can't think your way out of a biochemical emergency and how to start supporting your nervous system from the cells up.

Inside the episode:

  • Physical Red Flags: Why your anxiety spikes when you’re hungry or during your cycle.

  • The Root Cause: How inflammation and mineral gaps mimic panic.

  • Support vs. Regulation: Why your brain can't settle until your body feels safe.

Stop fighting your symptoms and start fueling your recovery.
