  • gut health as a part of the picture, plus other root causes
  • low nutrient levels that can affect anxiety
  • blood tests and supplements that may be helpful
  • the importance of balancing the bacteria in the gut
  • looking at your health history, and the many variables that contribute to health issues
  • the importance of keeping blood sugar levels stable to reduce anxiety
  • the importance of balanced meals: protein + slow-burning carbs + fats
  • what it means if you're craving snacks and how to reduce cravings
  • “But I don’t want to go off my favourite foods!”
  • “What about caffeine?”
  • “What about intermittent fasting?”
  • action steps to help you stabilise mental health
  • keeping the ‘big picture’ in mind!
